An era OF prosperity is opening before
our town. II there has ever been II
time when every man, woman and child
should put forth every energy to take
care of the business pressing upon us,
the present seems to be that time. In
few weeks our streets, stores and
homes will be ablazc with electric
lights. This will change our borough
from Il provincial village to II progress
i've modern town. We wfll step up into
line with our sister towns From being
by-word with the travelling public,
we will find ourselves in II position
where our many natural advantages aud
points of superiority as place of bust
ness and residence will be fully apprc-
ciated.
The trolley road will bring us into
close and intimate business and social
relations with the smaller towns In our
vicinity which are naturally tributary
to our town: but which, for want Of
means of communication, now lead II
hermit like existence.
The silk mill is safely launched upon
81 successful business career aud is grow
ing in Importance with each passing
week. From private sources Of infor-
nation we learn that prospects for n
largely increased output from this mill
are very natterlng. The presence Of
the trolly road will be of peculiar and
material aid to this enterprise, by ena-
bling the managers to obtain larger
supply of employees. The product of
the Reynodsville silk mills Is destined
to assume leading position in the mar
kets of the world and every shipment
sent out advertises our town. Let us
give the gentlemen operating this in
dustry our cordial and energetic sup
port.
And now another enterprise has been
located in our midst, that is big with
promise for the future. We refer to
the Star Glass Company, which we
ought to welcome with hats In the air.
II there is business that Is run for the
benefit of the working men the glass
business may be counted ms that one.
1t employs men only and at good, even
large wages. Glass blowers live well
and are, as Il class, good citizens. Let
us extend hearty welcome to Messrs.
Kuntz and Boulanger, the managers
and promoters of this enterprise, and
wish them long and prosperous career
among us.
Now then, Reynoldsville, has made II
start. Let us keep the ball rolling.
Nothing succeeds like success, you
know, and If we give long pull, n
strong pull and a pull altogether" we
will find our town increasing in popula-
tion, and our business doubling and
quadrupling as the months go by.

Sound Statement.

American butter sells for less in the
Cuban market than butter from
France, Holland and Denmark, says
the Philadelphia Press, and yet Ameri-
can butter is generally better than that
coming from the other countries. The
trouble is that oleomargarine and 9th
err limitations are sold in Cuba as Amer
lean butter. 1t is precisely the same
dishonest methods which have SO
greatly injured the American butter
trade in Europe. When our govern
ment stops this fraudulent trade,
American butter and cheese will sell
again in the markets of the world at
prices as high as similar articles from
other countries. This dishonest prac-
tice on the part Of exporters not only
disgraces the United States. but takes
millions of dollars annually out of the
farmers pockets by depreciating the
value of their products.

What the Mouth Tells.

A certain philosopher declares that a
woman is known by her mouth, not by
the words that issue therefrom, but by
the shape and color of the lips and the
lines and dimples that gather about
this important feature. He is support
ed in his theory by physiognomists,
who all endeavor to prove that no wo-
man with the small, red Tipped Cupid
bow" mouth, SO praised in song and
story, was ever intellectual or generous
of heart, and it is consoling to those
whose mouths are not in accordance
with the lines Of beauty laid down by
the poets to be told that wide,
straight mouth, with strong, white
teeth" denotes the woman of SUI
perior intelligence, goodness of heart,
strength of mind and a thousand and
one other sterling qualities which one
likes to think she possesses.
1t is the fashion at present for wO-
men to hold their lips slightly apart.
This is supposed to give that innocent
wistful wondering expression which
was the peculiar property Of the
heroines of old fashioned novels. but
which bicycle riding and kindred mod
ern amusements have caused to van
ISL. 1t is difficult for the thin Tipped.
determined woman to acquire this
trick, but perseverance works wonders.

Effect of Dirty Milk.

In the mind of great many careless
and Indifferent people all this talk
about cleanliness in the dairy is sheer
nonsense, says Hoard's Dairyman.
They happen never to have seen any
bad effects from their own dirti-
ness, or if they did see it they did not
know it. But nevertheless, whether
they know it or not, dirt is danger
Gus in milk. dangerous to health, dan
gerous to favor and consequently dan
gerods to profit. Every one nearly has
heard of cases Of poisoning from milk,
ice cream or cheese. This poison Is
called tyrotoxicon and belongs to
family Of poisons called ptomaines.
Professor Vaughan Of the Michigan
university has studied and traced out
the history, character and source of
these poisons to greater degree than
any other living man. Consequently
what he has found out ought to be Of
value to any man who knows enough
to appreciate knowledge. Professor
Vaughan found that the almost in
variable source Of such poison, when
found in milk or the products of milk,
was simply filth. The men or wo-
men who handled the milk were dirty
in their ideas of milk handling and al
lowed the surroundings to be dirty and
the milk utensils to be badly cleaned.
Here is one Of many cases or facts
which will emphasize the value Of this
preachment for clean work in the
dairy. For soIne time City Physician
Nottingham of Lansing, Mich, has
been at work urging those dairymen
who supply the city with milk to take
greater pains to keep their stables and
utensils clean and sweet. The other
night several families on the east side
of the city were poisoned by using the
milk which came from one Of the
diaries which had been ordered clean
ed. No doubt the owner of that dairy
thought in his wisdom that all this
talk about the necessity of rigid clean
Illness was all humbug. Now he stands
with a ruined business all because he
would not post himself as to what is
the truth. How shall man know the
light who refuses to open his eyes?
