SORE NECK

Take SCOTS Emulsion for
scrofula. Children often have
sores on the neck that won't
heal up, The~sores may come
and go. Parents may not
know what's the matter nor
what to do. Scrofula is the
trouble and SCOTS Emulsion
is the medicine,
SCOTS Emulsion heals the
sores. But that is not all.
Scrofula leads to consumption.
This is the real danger.
SCOTS Emulsion is the
"ounce of prevention" that
keeps off consumption.
Wen send you little to try, if ysu like.

same class was given this question:
"Why should we battle often?" This was

Few DAYS.

The formal transfer OF the w. l.. Bar
ton breaker in the northern part OF the
c,ty to ex-Select Councilman Wade Nj.
Finn, of Scranton, took place on We'd
nesday last. The sale Of this property

consummated, Mr.. Finn Will not take
possession until some time next week.
Then Mr.. Finn will begin improve
ments that will greatly increase the
output. II is the purpose to market be
tween 800 and 400 tons daily. The
breaker will be overhaulcd and I'M
Irovements will be made that VIII
make 1T possible to maintain this out
put. If. however, 1t be necessary TO
erect q new breaker to achieve this re-
suit, MIR. Finn will construct one.
This property. though 1T mas peen
worked for d number OF years. is Il gOou
deal more valuable than one unin-
formed would suppose. Mining experts,
whose opinions were sought, explored
. the site and gave as their opinion that
the two veins will yield coal for ten
years to come. To illustrate the value
of the property. Mr. Finn could have
entertained an offer to sell. that was
higher by several thousand dollars than
what he paid fur il.
The large culm pile near the breaker
was purchased some weeks ago by the
Carbondale Machine company. for use
as fuel. This could have since been
sold to Scranton parties for a good deal
more than its purchase price. which is
said To have been $1,000.

Once, in an exercise in geography, the
pupils in an intermediate grade were
asked to tell "why the Red sea Is ia

urchin Of Irish extraction: THE Red sea
IS famous because once Queen Victory
(Victoria) and her army came TO it, and
they wanted TO get across, so the queen
held out her stick, and the water splashed
up on each side, and they passed over dry

Persons Preserved.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington star
The geological survey is completing
an exceedingly interesting work on the
origin of names in this country. When
completed the work will be the most eX-
haustve of its kind to be had. The
derivation of the names of many his
torical places and cities and towns IN
the United States Is given
The state OF Alabama derives its
name from an Indian tribe. There are
several explanations of the meaning of
the word One authority says 1t is
burnt clearing" and others say it is
"here we rest" Still another authority
says it is '"thicket clearing"
Albany, n. Y, was named for the
Duke of York, whose Scotch title was
the "Duke of Albany" He was after
ward James III of England.
Alaska takes its name from an In
dian word meaning great country or
great land"
Alton, H., was named by Rufus Eas-
ton, its founder, for his son Alton, while
Altoona, Pa, derives its name from the
Latin word altus, "high."
The word Appalachian, the general
appellation of the mountain system in
the southeastern part of this country,
was given by the Spaniards under De
Soto. They derived it from neighborins;
Indians. Authorities differ as to the
meaning of the word, one saying it
comes from the Carib word apaliche,
''man;" another that it Is from the Mus
cogee word apala, "the great sea, or the
great ocean,"
Arkansas causes "a diversity of opn-
ion from scientists. Marquette and
other French explorers wrote the word
Arkansas and Akamsca, from the In
dian tribe. The usual etymology de-
rives the name from the French arc "a
bow" and Kansas, "smoky WATERMAN
ious other derivations are put forward.
Asbury Park was named for Francis
Asbury, the pioneer bishop of Metho-
dlsm in America. Several towns in the
southern states bear his name,
Atlanta, Ga, was designated by that
name TO show it's relationship to the At
lantic ocean, with which it was connect
