Lackawanna's New Summer Book.

The LACKAWANNA RAILROAD is
about to issue Summer Book for the
coming season, in which each town
along the line will be attractively writ
ten up. For the information of those
desiring summer homes, it has been de-
cided to admit limited number of ad-
vertisements of hotels and boarding
houses, and these advertisements will
be placed Immediately following the
reading matter relative to the town in
which they are located.
The demand for such advertisements
has been SO great that the Company has
decided to modify the policy established
a year ago, when its Summer Book was
issued without advertising matter of
any kind, and permit brief number to
appear. 1t is believed that the change
will be a gratifying one to those who
are anxious to secure some of the in
creasing summer patronage along the
line
The Local Ticket Agent has been sup
piled with specimen pages from this
new book, showing rates for advertising,
and other details in connection with it.
Copies of these may be obtained upon
application. Matter for insertion in
the new book must be sent to
the General Passenger Agent or left
with the Local Ticket Agent on or be-
fore the Goth day of February.
The Local Ticket Agent will be glad
to answer any inquiries.

Alden Benedict's Quo Vadis.'

To those who have read the novel
"Quo Vadis," and to those who have
not read it, there will be almost an equal
amount of interest at the Forthcoming
production at the opera house on Tues
day evening next. No more popular
work has been written in the last half
century, the sales of the book by the var
ious publishers in this country alone
running far into the millions. The plot
deals with Christian maiden who is
triumphant in her faith, and who, in the
simplicity of her religion, converts her
pagan prosecutor to the true cross.
Nero, the Roman butcher, and Peter,
the Apostle of Christ, are also prominent
characters in the play. The manage
ment promise special scenery for every
act, the entire original cast, and an alb
soluteIy perfect performance of one OF
the greatest plays the stage has ever
seen.

ROAD TAXES WASTED.
.aek of Intelligent Supervision In


Lack of Intelligent Supervision L,
the Chief Cause
ra article in The Technograph
Professor Ira o. Baker, University OF
illinois, contends that under intelligent
supervision the road tax can be paid as
effectively and economically in labor
as in cash. He says:
ut is frequently argued that because
the annual road tax produces no hard
roads that therefore at least a large
part Of the money is wasted % In
most states part of the tax is spent for
new steel bridges. In Illinois a little
more than one-quarter of the road tax
La so spent. Steel bridges are sub
stantial improvement and would be al
most imperative with stone roads. %
Another considerable part of the taxes
is used In renewing wood culverts and
the floors Of bridges, which expense
would be practically the same whether
the roads are improved or not 60 A
further sum is spent in improving the
drainage, which would be required be-
fore good stone roads could be built.
t4) Part Of the road taxes is used to
pay for moving the roadsides, which
would be desirable even If the road
surface were improved 90 Finally
considerable portion of the money is
used In maintaining the surface, and
TX the roads were improved a considera-
bly, larger sum would be required for a
Ike purpose.
F-"The claim is frequently made that
Q large part Of the labor tax is wasted
Possibly in the early history of any
community, when there is slight social
Intercourse among the farmers. more
time was wasted in gossip than now,
but at present the loss by this practice
10 not very great 1t is by no means
uncommon for farmer to give consid-
erably more labor than is exacted. He
uses the roads and desires to improve
them for his own benefit. Further, a
farmer would probably prefer to pay
" In labor than 81 In cash, and hence
the evils Of the labor tax system may
not be as serious as is generally claim
ed, since practically the farmers vote
determines the amount Of road tax he
will pay.
Admitting that there are inherent
defects In the labor tax system, it Is
not proved that they are greater than
In the cash system. Cash paid day
labor and contract work in city affairs
are not always ideally efficient There
is probably no universally best sys-
tenn Of maintenance of highways
Some Of the famous roads of Europe
are maintained by cash tax and some
by labor tax. There are no better
roads nor no more complete system of !
maintenance than in France, and yet |
by far the greater part of the wagon |
roads OF France are maintained by the |
labor tax system. The fundamental |
defect in the construction and mainte- |
nance Of American highways is the |
lack of intelligent and effective super
ylsiol."

The Little Town of ElySburg Will Or
ganize a Fire Department.

The Little Town of Elysburg Will Or
ganize Fire Department.
William Pensyl whose tannery at Elys-
burg was destroyed by fire on Sunday
February Sd, has decided not to rebuild.
Upon clearing away the debris it was
found that large number of hides in
the vats were uninjured. These are be-
ing shipped away. Mr.. PensyPs loss,
therefore uncovered by any insurance,
is not so heavy as at first reported and
may not exceed $1,000.
the flre which wiped cut the prinoi-
pal industry of the little town, served as
an object lesson to the residents reveal
ing their utter helplessness in the face
of such an event and the peril to which
every dollars worth of property invest
ed in the borough is exposed. They
have accordingly begun to agitate the
organization of fire department.
Elysburg has sixty odd dwellings and
a population of 500, which give an idea
both of the amount of property at stake
and the number of men available for
membership in fro company. A meet
ing was held Thursday night, attended
by the entire male population of the
town, for the purpose of taking som
action in the matter. 1t was decided to
organize one fire company. Whether the
apparatus is to consist of steam or a
hand engine has not as yet been decid-
ed. The preponderance of sentiment,
however, seems to be in favor of the for
mer There is good deal of entbusi-
asm shown in the matter and it will
probably be only short time before
Elysburg can boast of adequate protect
ion against fire.

Between the ages of fifteen and forty
five, the time when womanhood begins
and motherhood ends, it is estimated
that the aggregate term of woman's
suffering is ten years. Ten years out Of
thirty! One third of the best part of a
woman life sacrificed Think of the
enormous loss of time! But time is not
all that is lost. Those years of suffer
ing steal the bloom from the cheeks, the
brightness from the eyes, the fairness
from the form. They write their re-
cord in many crease and wrinckle.
What boon then to women, is DIR.
