The Industry the Pride of Lititz—How it Grew From a Small Concern to a Great Plant, Verifying the Old Maxim That "Large Oaks From Little Acorns Grow." LITITZ, PA. The above illustration is presented in order to give our readers some idea of the great industrial plant of our town, which is located on the site of the old railroad passenger and freight depot on Broad street and opposite the present depot. The photograph for the cut was recently taken by Photograph-er H. E. Reidenbach by request of the Chocolate Company. Nearly all of the directors and employees are represented , but to-day it could make a still better showing in the number of people em-ployed. The BKCOBD has upon several occa-sions gone into details concerning the modus operandi of chocolate making, consequently it will omit that part of the story on this occasion The history of the Ideal Cocoa and Chocolate Co. forms one of the most interesting stories of Industrial Lititz, having rapidly grown from a small business into the leading industry of our town. This industry was incorporated as the Kendig Chocolate Co. November 2, 1900, by John B. Kendig, Win. Riesener and others, and started with three em-ployees and enough machinery to produce about four hundred pounds of cocoa and chocolate per day. Success did not smile upon the indus-try because of the limited capital. On March 28, 1901, the number of stock-holders and directors were increased to thirteen. These directors put more capital into the enterprise and by per-sistent efforts gradually established the business. In January, 1902, it was de-cided to amend the charter, changing the name of the corporation to the Ideal Cocoa and Chocolate Co., and at the meeting of directors on March 4, 1902, the capital was increased from twenty-five thousand to one hundred thousand dollars. The fact of this great amount of capi-tal having been raised by local subscrip-tion is complimentary both to the in-dustry and the progressive spirit of our citizens, and venture to say cannot be duplicated by any town of the same size in Lancaster County. With the additional capital the com-pany erected one of the finest factory buildings in the county which is equipped with the best and latest ma-chinery known to the chocolate trade. In this building, located on our main thorougfare, the business has expanded until the volume has become so great that is necessary to work overtime to fill promptly the orders with which the company has been favored. It has a capacity of four tons per day, and gives employment to about sixty hands, male and female, as indicated in the above cut. The lower or front seats are occu-pied by the directors, Superintendent Wm. Riesener, and Secretary J . B. Mc- Clain. The two persons seated in the automobile are President E. L. Garber and Director J . G. Usner. The other directors are D. E. Light, W. H. Muth, H. S. Meiskey, S. W. Buch, Wm. Amer, Samuel Suavely, J. W. G. Hershey, J . P. Buch, N. B.

Late in thé afternoon, when the day's work was done, the boy would sit in the doorway and talk with his mother, while she made the spinning-wheel whir ; for she was always busy spinning when she was not sweeping, cooking or washing. Once she had lived far, far from there, in the city of Boston, and the lad loved to have her tell him stories of the fine houses, the gay streets, the elegant sedan chairs, and the smart carriages, and of the people dressed in silk, velvet and lace, with powdèred wigs on their heads and jewels shining on their fingers. It was far more interesting to Dick Reed to hear all about this real city than of fairyland ; for he had never seen any-thing but the rough huts of the set-tlers in the thinly-settled part of the state in which he lived. He used to long to go to that wonderful city, and, at night, after he had gone to bed, he used often to amuse himself by fancy-ing that he had made money enough to go to Boston and to attend school and college there, and how he had be-come a lawyer, and had made a beauti-ful home for his father and mother, whose hard, toil-worn hands were quite soft because of the rest they had. Some-times he would fall asleep while pic-turing his pretty mother in a silken gown, with lace and frills and jewels, and her hair in a high pompadour and powdered white ; for that was the way the ladies dressed in Boston a long time ago, when Dick's mamma was a girl. But, in spite of all these longings, Dick was a happy boy and loved dear-ly his humble home ; and he worked hard and faithfully to help his pa-rents. At 13 years old he was tall and sturdy and wonderfully strong. He could read and write very well indeed, for, in the long winter evenings, when the snow shut the family in their log cabin, the dritts sometimes banking themselves far above the door, and the flakes often sifting through the roof to lie in feathery heaps on- the floor of the loft, Dick would sit by the big fire-place, and, by the light of the burning logs, he would carefully write over and over the fine neat copies his moth-er set him. But the boys and girls of today would hardly have known .what to do with such a strange looking pen as Dick used ; for it was only a goose-quill, sharpened at one end and slit up a little way at the point. One very cold winter's morning Dick and his parents climbed down the lad-der from their bedrooms in the loft, and all helped about getting breakfast; and when seated at the table the father said to the boy : "My son, it is a fine day, and, while I am attending to my duties about the house, I wish you to go into the woods yonder"—pointing toward the east— "and see if you cannot find something to shoot that will be eatable. We must depend more upon the game in the for-est or I fear me this constant eating of pork will in time make us sorely ill." After helping his mother with the dishes and the churning, Dick swept the big living room, and then put on his thick out-of-door things, took down his gun from its place on the wall, his powder horn and bullets, kissed his mother and started toward the woods. He walked quite a distance into the forest, looking in vain for some sort of game. He hunted for about an hour when suddenly snow came down in such a flurry that the air was white about him; but Dick was not alarmed, for he knew every foot of the ground he was now hurrying over. So he push-ed forward bravely. Most unexpectedly from out the white masses of falling snow there ap-peared an Indian. He was tall and fierce looking, and he was in his war-paint. Poor Dick was terribly scared, for the Indian tribe in that part of the country was fierce and warlike, and many a settler had had his house burned down over him. But the Indian showed by signs that he was faint and wounded, and that he wanted aid. Seeing this Dick led the way toward home, the Indian weak-ly following ; but finally the old war-rior fell down and could not rise. The boy, seeing that his companion could go no further, gave him his gun, for' the Indian had only his bow and ar-rows tipped with sharp stone, and then the lad ran as fast as possible with nothing with which to defend himself but a sharp hunting knife. Once he saw gliding through the snow near him a great gray wolf; but Dick shouted fiercely and waved his knife savagely, and the wolf slunk away, for wolves are great cowards. When Dick reached home he was so exhausted that he frightened his moth-er by falling down as he entered the house. But he was soon on his feet and told his parents about the Indian. Dick's father took some food and med-icine and packed it away in the narrow-flat sledge, to which he harnessed his horse, and then Dick and his father started for the forest. Mr. Reed, with Dick's help, careful-ly dragged the warrior on to the sledge and carried him home, where, after several weeks ot good nursing, he be-came well and strong again. It turned out that he was the chief of the tribe; and ever after that the settlers and Indians in that part of the state got along very nicely togeth-er. Nor was that all. A few years later, two Indians came on their ponies, bringing a third pony with them, to Dick's home, and told him that the old chief was dying and wanted to see him Dick mounted the pony and went to bid a last goood-bye to the Indian friend he loved so dearly. The old chief could not speak to him, but. as Dick leaned over to kiss his forehead, he placed in the young man's hand a little bag. When Dick reached home he opened it, and found within a hundred perfect pearls. Where the chief had found the pearls and who the owner of them was no one ever knew. Dick often wondered if his old friend was aware of their great value. However, the pearls took Dick and his parents to Boston, and Dick lived to see the day when he, a noted judge, sat in his elegant home, and watched his father take snuff from a jeweled snuff box, and saw his mother clad in velvet, silk and lace, with gems blaz-ing on the faithful hands that usedSto be so hardened with toil. The White Bouse Turkey. Two days before Thanksgiving, for the last thirty years, a neat wooden box has been placed on board the train at the Westerly (R. I.) station bearing the printed direction, "To the Presi-dent, Washington, D. C." In the up-per left hand corner is more printed information to the effect that the box is sent by "Horace Vose, Dealer in Horses, Hogs and Poultry." In November, 187», when the first box was sent on its way from the Westerly station, Ulysses S. Grant was in the White House, and that box con-tained the turkey which graced the presidential table at the Thanksgiving feast. A big fellow it was, too, dressing thirty-six pounds, a fact of which the sender was justly proud. President Grant acknowledged the receipt of the big bird in a courteous note of thanks, and ever since then each succeeding year has seen a similar box containing a turkey as like in quality and size as possible sent on its way to the nation's capital, and a few days later every year a similar note of thanks is received by Mr. Vose, signed either by the President, himself or by his private secretary. 30 Years' Experience.

When a woman thinks she has the best husband in the world it's because she doesn't know any better. The Value of Charcoal. Nearly everybody knows that char-coal is the safest and most efficient dis-infectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans-ing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better ; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out ot the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im-proves the complexion. It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels ; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. Thanksgiving in Porto fiico. In Porto Rico Thanksgiving day, or "Dia de Gracias," as it is there termed, is honored by the closing of govern-ment offices and appropriately ob-served. The stores are open on half time only, the plantation works are idle and the people of town and coun-try seize the occasion for an inter-change of visits. As an excuse for idleness merely the Porto Rican labor-er hails the "Dia de Gracias" with joy and promises himself indulgence in a "danza" or perchance a surreptitious cockfight. The bulk of the population has been convinced that Thanksgiving is a day to be celebrated with almost as much gusto as the "Cuatro de Ju-lio," or glorious Fourth, and even with-out the mental reservation many were accustomed to make at the commemo-ration of our republic's natal day, no official affirmation being needed as to its right to "follow the flag." Thanksgiving Decorations. -If one has access to country fields in November the glowing red berries and vines and branches of gorgeous hues that may then be had offer most artis-tic material for Thanksgiving decora-tion. The downy thistle balls picked at the right time are effective, mixed with autumn vines and berries. It should not be forgotten that au-tumn leaves may be gathered at the moment of their greatest beauty in late October or early November and beautifully preserved by being dipped lightly in a weak gum arabic water. When dry they should be kept in box-es, carefully and lightly packed, as the treatment makes them very brittle. By this method, however, their colors are preserved, and they may be used repeatedly.

A score and more of years ago Lake-wood secured its first notice from the outside world as a health resort. It has long since outgrown, or rather improved upon that classification having secured recognition as the chosen rallying point for those seek-ing rest, change, exercise and open-air life, or social pleasure and relaxa-tion. But there are yet many of her older citizens who can recall the long-ago presence of invalids who spent hours among the pines, whittling pine branches and chewing pine shavings, invaribly crediting their return to health to such processess. While it is true that Lakewood air is a most pleasant blend of temperate mildness and balsamic fragrance, it would probably be going too far to claim for it any particular medical properties. The place is laid out upon a light and sandy soil which speedily absorbs all moisture; the air is dry and untainted ; the system of drainage is modern, and the water supply is from artesian wells six hundred to seven hundred feet deep. As to temperature, there is a comparative warmth of eight to ten degrees over New York City, sixty miles away, doubtless due to the shelter of the pine forests which surround the place for miles. What is a more direct factor of the healthful conditions found here by visitors is a total variance of habit which in Lakewood keeps out of doors people who are indoors when at home. The world is not roofed over here. Men and women who come here phys-ically out of tune, play at golf, drive, ride or walk; breathe pure air, exer-cise comfortably, and sleep well. And good health comes as a logical result. Life in the open was ever a healthy life, and the man or woman of the city, tied down to a daily regime of close office hours or social obliga-tions which are exacting and weary-ing, comes here to change all these habits and live naturally. A postal to C. M. Burt, General Passenger Agent, New Jersey Central, New York City, will secure for you a Booklet on Lakewood—Send for it, it will be worth your while. Eating Bad for Health. "The only way to prevent poverty is to convince persons that it is unneces-sary for them to eat." So says the Baroness Stemsel, and, what is more, she practices what she preaches. For many years the baroness resided in one of the Baltic provinces, but re-cently she removed to Lisbon, and there she formed with several other women, a club, the members of which have pledged themselves not to eat anything. Two glasses of lemonade a day every member may indulge in, but nothing more. The baroness says that she has lived a long time on this daily allowance of lemonade, and she defies doctors to prove that she is not as healthy and as vigorous as any ordinary woman of her age. Solid food, she claims, does much more harm than good, and she warns every one, who desires to become a member of the club, that instant ex-pulsion will be her fate if she dares to even as much as a mouthful of bread. In this strange experiment both the Lisbon doctors and restaurant keepers are much interested, and for obvious reasons. For 01d*Time Scolds. An old gag which was used to si-lence scolding women in England is still preserved. It consists of a large cup-shaped piece of iron so arranged in a steel frame that it may be held rigidly in place, keeping the mouth open. The instrument is not unlike that used by the modern dentist to keep the jaws apart while he is work-ing with one's teeth. The original gag was designed, and doubtless with success, to keep its victims from speaking any intelligible words. Cock*Crowing Competition. The feature of a carnival held at Sil-vertos, Devon, was a cock-crowing competition. Owners of birds had to bring them to the village schoolroom and set them a-crowing one against the other. For those cockerels which crowed the loudest and the longest prizes were given. Mr. Jenning's bird was easily first, crowing 51 times in 17 minutes. The second and third birds crowed 42 and 43 times respectively in 17 minutes. Experimenting With Smoke Consumer. The Pennsylvania Railroad is en-deavoring to lessen the smoke nuisance on its system caused by the defective Bring of locomotives. Experiments are being made with a smoke-consum-ing patent which promises to do away with much of the annoyance. If the new scheme fails, the company it is said will fall back upon the "single shovel" firing scheme now in use in Cincinnati, Cleveland and other cities. Solemn Warning. Uncle Archie—Have you formed an opinion as to the cause of Colonel Hix-on's suicide? Tom—Yes, sir—remorse. His nephew needed money, and the wealthy uncle failed to advance it. The result was that the unhappy young man ran away and was never heard of afterward.— Kansas City Journal. THE OUt RELIABLE I Ml s Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE OYER THE STATE Fourteen-year-old Evangeline Colai-tis, who eloped from Shenandoah with Simon Salas, aged 22, has returned home and been forgiven. The York Historical Society has re-ceived a valuable pendant of Indian shell work, found in the battlefield where General Custer was killed. Having grown disconsolate because be had sold out a profitable photo-graphic business and agreed not to resume that calling in five years, M. M. Dewitt shot himself and died at Scranton. George O'Connor, pickpocket, two and one-half years ; James Turner and William Connors, each two and one-half years, for burglarizing freight cars ; Carrie Ritz, two and one-half years, for stealing. All convicted in Lehigh, were taken to the Eastern Penitentiary. A peculiar disease is killing a large number of hogs in Northampton coun-ty. They become entirely helpless and die from starvation, refusing to eat any kind of food. The disease at first ap-peared near Belvidere and spread rap-idly. Edward Garison, of Essington, has a wife and six children very ill with diph-theria. The orders for roofing slate continue active, and it is said the factories can-not turn out the product fast enough. The export trade is large. Because the U. S. Congress met at York during the Revolution, that city wants the government to erect a $400,- 000 public building there. William Cornelius, residing near Lewistown, was attacked by a wild cat, but managed to kill it. It sprang at him from a tree. Officials of the State Board of Health visited all of the saloons in Allentown, and ordered the removal of the towels which usually hang in front of the bars. This was done as a sanitary meas-ure, due to the prevalence of small-pox. A tree falling on him, William Hill, a woodman, was crushed to death at Orangeville. Caught between cars on the Pennsyl-vania Railroad, James Campbell, alias Van Williams, of Scranton, was crush-ed to death at Pitcairn. Struck in the head by an air hammer, Foreman Michael Tucker, of the Amer-ican Car and Foundry Company, was fatally hurt at Berwick. Charged with shooting his wife be-cause she threatened to tell that he had shot Farmer J. M. Fairchild, Bruno Vicci, both of whose alleged victims are seriously injured, has been placed in jail at Berwick. In order that the Pardon Board may further consider their cases, Governor Pennypacker respited murderers George W. Sutten, of Philadelphia, from De-cember 9 to January 28, and Samuel Greason, of Berks, from December 10 to January 19. Mrs. Mary Cosgrove was burned to death in South Scrant<>n, hot coals from an ash pan having ignited her dress.

The Industry the Pride of Lititz—How it Grew From a Small Concern to a Great Plant, Verifying the Old Maxim That "Large Oaks From Little Acorns Grow." LITITZ, PA. The above illustration is presented in order to give our readers some idea of the great industrial plant of our town, which is located on the site of the old railroad passenger and freight depot on Broad street and opposite the present depot. The photograph for the cut was recently taken by Photograph-er H. E. Reidenbach by request of the Chocolate Company. Nearly all of the directors and employees are represented , but to-day it could make a still better showing in the number of people em-ployed. The BKCOBD has upon several occa-sions gone into details concerning the modus operandi of chocolate making, consequently it will omit that part of the story on this occasion The history of the Ideal Cocoa and Chocolate Co. forms one of the most interesting stories of Industrial Lititz, having rapidly grown from a small business into the leading industry of our town. This industry was incorporated as the Kendig Chocolate Co. November 2, 1900, by John B. Kendig, Win. Riesener and others, and started with three em-ployees and enough machinery to produce about four hundred pounds of cocoa and chocolate per day. Success did not smile upon the indus-try because of the limited capital. On March 28, 1901, the number of stock-holders and directors were increased to thirteen. These directors put more capital into the enterprise and by per-sistent efforts gradually established the business. In January, 1902, it was de-cided to amend the charter, changing the name of the corporation to the Ideal Cocoa and Chocolate Co., and at the meeting of directors on March 4, 1902, the capital was increased from twenty-five thousand to one hundred thousand dollars. The fact of this great amount of capi-tal having been raised by local subscrip-tion is complimentary both to the in-dustry and the progressive spirit of our citizens, and venture to say cannot be duplicated by any town of the same size in Lancaster County. With the additional capital the com-pany erected one of the finest factory buildings in the county which is equipped with the best and latest ma-chinery known to the chocolate trade. In this building, located on our main thorougfare, the business has expanded until the volume has become so great that is necessary to work overtime to fill promptly the orders with which the company has been favored. It has a capacity of four tons per day, and gives employment to about sixty hands, male and female, as indicated in the above cut. The lower or front seats are occu-pied by the directors, Superintendent Wm. Riesener, and Secretary J . B. Mc- Clain. The two persons seated in the automobile are President E. L. Garber and Director J . G. Usner. The other directors are D. E. Light, W. H. Muth, H. S. Meiskey, S. W. Buch, Wm. Amer, Samuel Suavely, J. W. G. Hershey, J . P. Buch, N. B.

Late in thé afternoon, when the day's work was done, the boy would sit in the doorway and talk with his mother, while she made the spinning-wheel whir ; for she was always busy spinning when she was not sweeping, cooking or washing. Once she had lived far, far from there, in the city of Boston, and the lad loved to have her tell him stories of the fine houses, the gay streets, the elegant sedan chairs, and the smart carriages, and of the people dressed in silk, velvet and lace, with powdèred wigs on their heads and jewels shining on their fingers. It was far more interesting to Dick Reed to hear all about this real city than of fairyland ; for he had never seen any-thing but the rough huts of the set-tlers in the thinly-settled part of the state in which he lived. He used to long to go to that wonderful city, and, at night, after he had gone to bed, he used often to amuse himself by fancy-ing that he had made money enough to go to Boston and to attend school and college there, and how he had be-come a lawyer, and had made a beauti-ful home for his father and mother, whose hard, toil-worn hands were quite soft because of the rest they had. Some-times he would fall asleep while pic-turing his pretty mother in a silken gown, with lace and frills and jewels, and her hair in a high pompadour and powdered white ; for that was the way the ladies dressed in Boston a long time ago, when Dick's mamma was a girl. But, in spite of all these longings, Dick was a happy boy and loved dear-ly his humble home ; and he worked hard and faithfully to help his pa-rents. At 13 years old he was tall and sturdy and wonderfully strong. He could read and write very well indeed, for, in the long winter evenings, when the snow shut the family in their log cabin, the dritts sometimes banking themselves far above the door, and the flakes often sifting through the roof to lie in feathery heaps on- the floor of the loft, Dick would sit by the big fire-place, and, by the light of the burning logs, he would carefully write over and over the fine neat copies his moth-er set him. But the boys and girls of today would hardly have known .what to do with such a strange looking pen as Dick used ; for it was only a goose-quill, sharpened at one end and slit up a little way at the point. One very cold winter's morning Dick and his parents climbed down the lad-der from their bedrooms in the loft, and all helped about getting breakfast; and when seated at the table the father said to the boy : "My son, it is a fine day, and, while I am attending to my duties about the house, I wish you to go into the woods yonder"—pointing toward the east— "and see if you cannot find something to shoot that will be eatable. We must depend more upon the game in the for-est or I fear me this constant eating of pork will in time make us sorely ill." After helping his mother with the dishes and the churning, Dick swept the big living room, and then put on his thick out-of-door things, took down his gun from its place on the wall, his powder horn and bullets, kissed his mother and started toward the woods. He walked quite a distance into the forest, looking in vain for some sort of game. He hunted for about an hour when suddenly snow came down in such a flurry that the air was white about him; but Dick was not alarmed, for he knew every foot of the ground he was now hurrying over. So he push-ed forward bravely. Most unexpectedly from out the white masses of falling snow there ap-peared an Indian. He was tall and fierce looking, and he was in his war-paint. Poor Dick was terribly scared, for the Indian tribe in that part of the country was fierce and warlike, and many a settler had had his house burned down over him. But the Indian showed by signs that he was faint and wounded, and that he wanted aid. Seeing this Dick led the way toward home, the Indian weak-ly following ; but finally the old war-rior fell down and could not rise. The boy, seeing that his companion could go no further, gave him his gun, for' the Indian had only his bow and ar-rows tipped with sharp stone, and then the lad ran as fast as possible with nothing with which to defend himself but a sharp hunting knife. Once he saw gliding through the snow near him a great gray wolf; but Dick shouted fiercely and waved his knife savagely, and the wolf slunk away, for wolves are great cowards. When Dick reached home he was so exhausted that he frightened his moth-er by falling down as he entered the house. But he was soon on his feet and told his parents about the Indian. Dick's father took some food and med-icine and packed it away in the narrow-flat sledge, to which he harnessed his horse, and then Dick and his father started for the forest. Mr. Reed, with Dick's help, careful-ly dragged the warrior on to the sledge and carried him home, where, after several weeks ot good nursing, he be-came well and strong again. It turned out that he was the chief of the tribe; and ever after that the settlers and Indians in that part of the state got along very nicely togeth-er. Nor was that all. A few years later, two Indians came on their ponies, bringing a third pony with them, to Dick's home, and told him that the old chief was dying and wanted to see him Dick mounted the pony and went to bid a last goood-bye to the Indian friend he loved so dearly. The old chief could not speak to him, but. as Dick leaned over to kiss his forehead, he placed in the young man's hand a little bag. When Dick reached home he opened it, and found within a hundred perfect pearls. Where the chief had found the pearls and who the owner of them was no one ever knew. Dick often wondered if his old friend was aware of their great value. However, the pearls took Dick and his parents to Boston, and Dick lived to see the day when he, a noted judge, sat in his elegant home, and watched his father take snuff from a jeweled snuff box, and saw his mother clad in velvet, silk and lace, with gems blaz-ing on the faithful hands that usedSto be so hardened with toil. The White Bouse Turkey. Two days before Thanksgiving, for the last thirty years, a neat wooden box has been placed on board the train at the Westerly (R. I.) station bearing the printed direction, "To the Presi-dent, Washington, D. C." In the up-per left hand corner is more printed information to the effect that the box is sent by "Horace Vose, Dealer in Horses, Hogs and Poultry." In November, 187», when the first box was sent on its way from the Westerly station, Ulysses S. Grant was in the White House, and that box con-tained the turkey which graced the presidential table at the Thanksgiving feast. A big fellow it was, too, dressing thirty-six pounds, a fact of which the sender was justly proud. President Grant acknowledged the receipt of the big bird in a courteous note of thanks, and ever since then each succeeding year has seen a similar box containing a turkey as like in quality and size as possible sent on its way to the nation's capital, and a few days later every year a similar note of thanks is received by Mr. Vose, signed either by the President, himself or by his private secretary. 30 Years' Experience.

When a woman thinks she has the best husband in the world it's because she doesn't know any better. The Value of Charcoal. Nearly everybody knows that char-coal is the safest and most efficient dis-infectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans-ing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better ; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out ot the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im-proves the complexion. It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels ; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. Thanksgiving in Porto fiico. In Porto Rico Thanksgiving day, or "Dia de Gracias," as it is there termed, is honored by the closing of govern-ment offices and appropriately ob-served. The stores are open on half time only, the plantation works are idle and the people of town and coun-try seize the occasion for an inter-change of visits. As an excuse for idleness merely the Porto Rican labor-er hails the "Dia de Gracias" with joy and promises himself indulgence in a "danza" or perchance a surreptitious cockfight. The bulk of the population has been convinced that Thanksgiving is a day to be celebrated with almost as much gusto as the "Cuatro de Ju-lio," or glorious Fourth, and even with-out the mental reservation many were accustomed to make at the commemo-ration of our republic's natal day, no official affirmation being needed as to its right to "follow the flag." Thanksgiving Decorations. -If one has access to country fields in November the glowing red berries and vines and branches of gorgeous hues that may then be had offer most artis-tic material for Thanksgiving decora-tion. The downy thistle balls picked at the right time are effective, mixed with autumn vines and berries. It should not be forgotten that au-tumn leaves may be gathered at the moment of their greatest beauty in late October or early November and beautifully preserved by being dipped lightly in a weak gum arabic water. When dry they should be kept in box-es, carefully and lightly packed, as the treatment makes them very brittle. By this method, however, their colors are preserved, and they may be used repeatedly.

A score and more of years ago Lake-wood secured its first notice from the outside world as a health resort. It has long since outgrown, or rather improved upon that classification having secured recognition as the chosen rallying point for those seek-ing rest, change, exercise and open-air life, or social pleasure and relaxa-tion. But there are yet many of her older citizens who can recall the long-ago presence of invalids who spent hours among the pines, whittling pine branches and chewing pine shavings, invaribly crediting their return to health to such processess. While it is true that Lakewood air is a most pleasant blend of temperate mildness and balsamic fragrance, it would probably be going too far to claim for it any particular medical properties. The place is laid out upon a light and sandy soil which speedily absorbs all moisture; the air is dry and untainted ; the system of drainage is modern, and the water supply is from artesian wells six hundred to seven hundred feet deep. As to temperature, there is a comparative warmth of eight to ten degrees over New York City, sixty miles away, doubtless due to the shelter of the pine forests which surround the place for miles. What is a more direct factor of the healthful conditions found here by visitors is a total variance of habit which in Lakewood keeps out of doors people who are indoors when at home. The world is not roofed over here. Men and women who come here phys-ically out of tune, play at golf, drive, ride or walk; breathe pure air, exer-cise comfortably, and sleep well. And good health comes as a logical result. Life in the open was ever a healthy life, and the man or woman of the city, tied down to a daily regime of close office hours or social obliga-tions which are exacting and weary-ing, comes here to change all these habits and live naturally. A postal to C. M. Burt, General Passenger Agent, New Jersey Central, New York City, will secure for you a Booklet on Lakewood—Send for it, it will be worth your while. Eating Bad for Health. "The only way to prevent poverty is to convince persons that it is unneces-sary for them to eat." So says the Baroness Stemsel, and, what is more, she practices what she preaches. For many years the baroness resided in one of the Baltic provinces, but re-cently she removed to Lisbon, and there she formed with several other women, a club, the members of which have pledged themselves not to eat anything. Two glasses of lemonade a day every member may indulge in, but nothing more. The baroness says that she has lived a long time on this daily allowance of lemonade, and she defies doctors to prove that she is not as healthy and as vigorous as any ordinary woman of her age. Solid food, she claims, does much more harm than good, and she warns every one, who desires to become a member of the club, that instant ex-pulsion will be her fate if she dares to even as much as a mouthful of bread. In this strange experiment both the Lisbon doctors and restaurant keepers are much interested, and for obvious reasons. For 01d*Time Scolds. An old gag which was used to si-lence scolding women in England is still preserved. It consists of a large cup-shaped piece of iron so arranged in a steel frame that it may be held rigidly in place, keeping the mouth open. The instrument is not unlike that used by the modern dentist to keep the jaws apart while he is work-ing with one's teeth. The original gag was designed, and doubtless with success, to keep its victims from speaking any intelligible words. Cock*Crowing Competition. The feature of a carnival held at Sil-vertos, Devon, was a cock-crowing competition. Owners of birds had to bring them to the village schoolroom and set them a-crowing one against the other. For those cockerels which crowed the loudest and the longest prizes were given. Mr. Jenning's bird was easily first, crowing 51 times in 17 minutes. The second and third birds crowed 42 and 43 times respectively in 17 minutes. Experimenting With Smoke Consumer. The Pennsylvania Railroad is en-deavoring to lessen the smoke nuisance on its system caused by the defective Bring of locomotives. Experiments are being made with a smoke-consum-ing patent which promises to do away with much of the annoyance. If the new scheme fails, the company it is said will fall back upon the "single shovel" firing scheme now in use in Cincinnati, Cleveland and other cities. Solemn Warning. Uncle Archie—Have you formed an opinion as to the cause of Colonel Hix-on's suicide? Tom—Yes, sir—remorse. His nephew needed money, and the wealthy uncle failed to advance it. The result was that the unhappy young man ran away and was never heard of afterward.— Kansas City Journal. THE OUt RELIABLE I Ml s Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE OYER THE STATE Fourteen-year-old Evangeline Colai-tis, who eloped from Shenandoah with Simon Salas, aged 22, has returned home and been forgiven.

William Cornelius, residing near Lewistown, was attacked by a wild cat, but managed to kill it. It sprang at him from a tree. Officials of the State Board of Health visited all of the saloons in Allentown, and ordered the removal of the towels which usually hang in front of the bars. This was done as a sanitary meas-ure, due to the prevalence of small-pox. A tree falling on him, William Hill, a woodman, was crushed to death at Orangeville. Caught between cars on the Pennsyl-vania Railroad, James Campbell, alias Van Williams, of Scranton, was crush-ed to death at Pitcairn. Struck in the head by an air hammer, Foreman Michael Tucker, of the Amer-ican Car and Foundry Company, was fatally hurt at Berwick. Charged with shooting his wife be-cause she threatened to tell that he had shot Farmer J. M. Fairchild, Bruno Vicci, both of whose alleged victims are seriously injured, has been placed in jail at Berwick. In order that the Pardon Board may further consider their cases, Governor Pennypacker respited murderers George W. Sutten, of Philadelphia, from De-cember 9 to January 28, and Samuel Greason, of Berks, from December 10 to January 19.
