To Pay for Memorial Hall.

The Grand Army posts of Wilkesb.rre
are gratiiied over the probability OF
Luzerne county paying off the debt on
Memorial Hall, in that city. In re-
sponse to a petition signed by the most
influential taxpayers, two grand juries
have recommended that the county clear
this debt, and the court gave approval
on December "a. The making of an ap-
preparation OF this kind is based on the
act of assembly Of May 20, 1895, which
provides that the county commissioners
may expend money for soldiers or
sailors monument after two grand juries
recommend it. But it is the principle
and Willingness to give recognition to
Its old soldiers that pleases the Grand
Army men.

The Cook and Her Basket.

/. Lafayette, Aug. 20, Is9o.-Your
timely. II calls attention to an
abuse from which all house keepers
suffer. Filling tina, unavoidable
basket leads to many pecCadillos,
which it's owner is pleased to look
upon only as securing proper per-
quisites. That it is done ut the
injury of the employer is matter of
no moral concern to the cook.
When, however, the now promi-
nently developed trait of bestowing
the contents Of her basket along
with her "affections"-possib as
means Of conveying her express
sion-on some Adonis of her choice,
usually strong, burly idler who is
thus relieved of the necessity of
earning ..his bread by the sweat of
his brow" he becoming an idler
and loafer, is recognized
fact, then a dangerous evil is IN
flicted on the community, of which
it should be relieved if possible.
The corporation should pass a
a wholesome vagrant ordinance, un
der its police powers, reaching all
idlers with out visible means Of sup
poit, PROFESSIONAL SdiiOiSiS' bohh PS'
etc.
Such an ordinance, wisely framed
and judiciousiy administered, as 1t
would be by our excellent mayor,
would have the triple effect OF
greatly diminishing, if not quite
undoing the necessity for filling the
.basket," of increasing the chance 5
of employers TO secure needed Ia
borers to make and harvest crops,
and other necessary work, and
finally of Kidding the corporation Of
idlers, sramps and constant fire.

been SO helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles Of
Electric Bltters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work" This supreme remedy for
female disease quickly cures ner-

The Real Road to Success

.'There is no royal road to sue
cess: there can be none. Each
man is an individual problem, and
he must work himself out, writes
Edward Box in the September
LaAI<s' Home /ournaL "He must
first know himself-in other words,
find himself: then he will quickly
discover what particular lii Of
work is best adapted to his abili'
ties. Determination and hard work,
after he has once made choice OF
profes sion, trade or business, will
soon develop the best that is in
him."
