SAND WASHER PROVING
MONEY SAVER AT RESERVOIR

Waterworks Supt. Plumb Bancroft
has force of men at work replacing
the sand that has been run through
the washing machine in one of the
filter basins at the reservoir. Since
the machine was set in operation,
Sept. II, about 600 yards of sand have
been washed. and there is now enough
to fill one of the basins to the depth
of foot. Mr.. Bancroft figures that
the washing of the sand, counting the
water used and the labor, has been
about 20 cents per yard.
The fresh sand from the river de-
livered at the reservoir would cost
S1.1O a yard. and by the time it was
screened and placed in the reservoir
the cost would be not far from $50.
Then the sand that had been removed
would have to be hauled away and an
other heavy expense would be lnvolv-
ed. The washed sand is also consid-
cred better than that taken direct
from the river. Thus the sand wash
err has already paid for itself in the
saving that has been effected by its
use.
When the washing process began
SHtIc "SIS etDOu' -'0"N y "iNS VI $500

ing been removed from each one in
The cleaning process. Work on this
will be continued as late in the sea-
son as possible, and it viii be resum-
ed early in the spring and kept up
till all the old sand is washed and re-
placed.
After the present cleaning up is fin
ished the widening of the east en-
bankment upon which the washing is
done will be begun to give more room
for operations. About II feet will be
added to the width of the hank for
the length of one basin. This under
taking was recently authorized by the
city council, and work will begin this
week.

A STUBBORN COLD OR
BRONCHITIS

yields more readily to SCOTS
Emulsion of cod-liver oil than
to anything that you can take :;
and if persistently used a few
days, will break up the cold.
When you awake in the
night choked up and cough
ing hard, take a dose of the
Emulsion, and you will get
immediate relief, where no
cough medicine will give you
relief. 1t has a soothing and
healing effect upon the throat
and bronchial tubes.
Most people understand
SCOTS Emulsion is a great

good to allay inflammation

coughing.

The old Dram homestead, located on
the corner of North Main avenue and
Dram boulevard, was partially de-
stroyed by fire at 1880 o'clock last
night. The house was occupied by Pat
rick Swift and family, all of whom sue
ceeded in escaping from the burning
house
The origin Of the fire could not be
learned, but 1t is supposed to have been
caused by q defective flue in the attic.
The whole upper side of the house was
burned, and will require tearing down
or rebuilding.
The dwelling is one of the oldest land
marks in the Lackawanna valley, hav-
ing been erected when but few houses
dotted Slocum Hollow, as Scranton was
known at that time.
The lack of fire hydrants and alarm
boxes in that locality was very appar-
ent last night. William Davis, the
powder dealer, succeeded in telephon-
ing the location of the fire, and in
that way an alarm was sounded from
box 1928, at the corner of Bromley ave-
nue. and Swetland street. which is a
considerable distance away. The fire.

Ingerson outwitted.

Robert G.. Ingersoll was not always the tactfll
lawyer he became in his maturity. Early in his
career he found himself counsel for the defense
in murder case, with fussy old doctor as
principal witness against him Thinking he saw
a chance to be brilliant, he sarcasteally pro-
ceeded TO bully the witness by commenting upon
doctors mistakes. doctors make as few mis-
takes as lawyers" asserted the old man.
"A doctors mistakes are buried six feet under
ground" said lngersol
YES, but lawyers mistakes are hung as
many ieet above the ground" was the reply
''and that is just the difference"
The Jury saw the point and lngCrsoll lost the
