MOONLIGHT
SCHEDULE AGAIN

The borough council has decided to
adopt moonlight schedule for the
electric light plant.
This will probably prove agreeable
news to economically inclined taxpay-
ers, who perceive under this schedule
a perceptiEle reduction in cost of op-
Grating the plant. but the action Will
not be Te garded with much approval
by anoth r class who, as they express
it, want rood light at all times and as
taxpayer they are willing to pay for it.
The lat 5er class cite the failure and
dissatisft 3tion that followed an at
tempt to "un on moonlight schedule
during tt first year or so of the plant s
history. The mere fact that there is a
moon in he sky, regardless of the fact
whether lnder the then existing con-
ditions i proves much of factor in
producin; light or not, they state, is
too often taken as an excuse for shut
ting down the plant at any hour and
thus the streets are apt to be in prac-
tiCal darkness when light is most need
ed. Even at full moon, when the trees
happen to be out in leaves, it is urged,
the streets are too dark for pedestrians
and electric light is needed.
Council, however, believes that all
these things can be regulated. As will
be perceived by the report presented
at the last meeting of council the cleo
trio light plant last month was in op-
Grafton 382 hours, representing in that
time consumption of coal amounting
to S207. 30. If the time the plant is in
operation can be reduced monthly
some fifty or sixty hours by the aid CT
the moon the saving, as can easily be
computed, during six months of the
year will be considerable. Altogether
our borough fathers have deemed it
wise to make another experiment, this
time under restrictions that will be
sure to produce satisfaction, if such a
thing is possible. The moonlight sche-
dule will be in force some six months
of the year, only when the trees are
not in leaves. During that time the
shutting down and the starting up OF
the plant as it relates TO the moon will
be directly III the hands of Borough
Electrician Newton Smith, hose good
Judgment no one doubts. A shutting
down of the plant will be permitted
only when the moon is large enough
to cast brilliant light and the sky is
positively clear.

SCRAPPLE.

This is the way the West Chester
Local News enthuses over scrapple
"The scrapple season dawns upon us,
with its ravishing perfumes and its
poesy. Scrapple follows sauer kraut,
and is itself followed by the buck
wheat cake The three constitute and
compose the great gastronomic trio
logy of the late autumn. They are
equally sayory and their ineffable es-
sences are alike stimulating and re-
yivifying. Sauer kraut, perhaps, is a
shade the most nourishing, and the
buckwheat cake, it may be admitted
is the most romantic of the trio. But
even against these irresistibly seduc-
tive delicatessen, scrapple holds it's
own. For the brief month following
the falling of the leaves it is the king
victual and master aliment of the great
plain people. -

This WORK OF MERCY"

The Altoona Tribune looks upon the
appropriation for the hospital for the
insane at this place in the following
light: 1.-The Danville hospital for the
insane will ask for s400, 600 from the
coming Legislature. An appropriation
of $50, 900 for temporary buildings
which we're never erected will 90 back
to the State This institution and all
others that provide for the helpless
classes and that are under exclusive
State control should have all that is
needed to properly provide for their
patients This work of mercy should
have precedence over roads and schools
for the reason that the insane and the
feeble minded are helpless. .

TRIBUTE TO THE QUAIL.

DR.. Kalbfus pays this tribune to the
quail: ''No game bird seems to have
a firmer hold upon the public mind
than the common quail, or Bob
White, and a study of this bird, un-
dertaken by the biological survey at
Washington. demonstrates, by almost
limitless examination and experiment,
that the economic value of the quail
is equaled by but few birds, and ex-
ceeded by none. His food supply is
more varied than that of most birds.
and is almost without exception drawn
from scource through which nothing
but good can result. He consumes
many things, such as potato bugs,
chinch bugs. the cotton boil weavel,
certain caterpillars, spiders and other
insects, that most birds avoid, and
that, when taken at all by such other
birds, are eaten TO "a limited extent
only" Prof. Surface says in his bul
letin Of January, 1904: No birds on
the farm are more va,ul@ic as seed
eaters and insect destroyers than the
common quail. -

PRACTICAL CHARITY.

The Scranton lodge of Elks is going
TO perform a real Christian service on
the coming Christmas by presenting
suits to no less than 400 boys AMI girls
who would otherwise have to go with
out 1t is real Christmas service
which these Elks are going to observe.
AS the Scranton Republican we'll says :
To give suits Of clothes to 400 boys
and girls whose parents are unable to
provide adequately for their children
is to be responsible for real, old fash
ioned, practical charity, the kind that
warns the heart not only of the small
boys and girls. but also of the com
munlty where this generosity is be-
slowed. To feed the hungry aud clothe
the poor in actual need. and to see
them fed by ones own hand, is about
as much satisfaction AS the average
kind hearted person is able to grasp in
this hurrying world. "

WHERE FATE GETS EVEN.

Those who do not hunt and who feel
that the life of an animal may be as
dear to it rs that of its hunte is to
him, cannot avoid the reflection some
times that the rapidly increasing num-
Der of cunning accidents in the State
may be one of the methods whereby
Fate levels things up. The Pottsville
Miners Journal, however, is convinc-
ed that too many boys are permitted
to handle guns, and it thinks that all
would-be hunters should be compelled
to take out licenses Some of the
worst accidents of the season." the
Journal declares, "were due to the
careless work of men who borrowed a
gun for a days shooting and shot
some luckless sportsman instead of the
game" "

Rewards and Punishments.

OOulc Vi Us bO uOI pItltud W huO"
much about methods of taxation. We
are dreamers, impractical, devoid of
those severely practical traits which
are characteristic of the successful bust
ness man of the times, and at odd
moments bewildered by modern meth
DDS. Sometimes it looks to US as
though it would be better TO reverse
processes.
There is the question Of taxation,
for instance. Ought man to be fined
or rewarded for the display of public
spirit? Here is a citizen who owns a
corner lot, having thereon erected a
disreputable looking frame building
worth a few hundred dollars. He tears
it down and erects on its site a splen-
did editice, an ornament to the town,
instantly his tax bill leaps up.
Another citizen. of very prudent
frame of mind, is the owner If vac
ant lot in good neighborhood. It is
likewise a neglected lot. Weeds grow
there in the season for weeds Old tin
cans and other debris ornament it. In
winte. the sidewalk in front Of it
where there is a sidewalk-is usually
covered by SNOW and ice. Others build
all around it and the lot gradually in
creases in value. But the tax Of the
owner never increases. 1t is u mere
trife compared with the amount paid
by his progressive neighbors who have
helped to build the city.
Would it not be possible to devise
some more equitable method? If the
public-spirited citizen is taxed little
more every time he adds bit to the
appearance of the city, should not the
progressive person who does moth
ing worth while to help the town and
who is benefited by the enterprise of
others be fined in some way for his
lack of civic spirit? We speak with
hesitation and reserve, admitting that
there may be reasons for existing Gus
tom, which is likewise rather vener.
able, which we have not been able to
fathom.
Speaking from the standpoint of a
visionary, does not the man who
beauties the landscape by handsome
structure deserve the applause of his
fellow citizens and the approval of the
municipality? Does not he who re-
moves an ugly and dilapidated shanty
and puts III its place a modern busi-
ness block which attracts the atten-
tiou Of visitors and creates thoughts
of beauty in the mind Of the busiest
passer-by do a good deed? And is it
not the duty of the State and of the
municipality TO recognize the good
which men do and to reward them for
it?
Speaking from the same Impractical
standpoint, does not the fossil or the
skinhint stand in the way of the prog
ress of the people? Is it not true that
nc iOsttIs tIh Calls anu NctuS anu
other unsightly things, that he makes
his neighbor wax hot with anger when
beating out path through the untrod
den snow? Is it according to the etern
al fitness of things that such a citizen
should be actually rewarded for his
or parsimony? We do not
pretend to know we merely inquire.

A LASTING EFFECT
This Evidence Should Prove Every claim
Made for Doan's Kidney Pills in
DanYille.

DanVille.
Relief from the pains and aches of a
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer; but to cure a lame,
weak or aching back is what's want
ed. Cure it so it will stay cured. 1t
can be done. Here's tile strongest evid-
ence to prove it:
Thomas Lewis, retired, of 6l5 Mill
street, says: II can only reiterate my
former statement made in 1896 about
Doan's Kidney Pills. They cared me
eight years ago and the cure then
made has been lasting and have had
no return of my old trouble. Before
using them | was troubled with back
ache. l used everything recommended
but got no relief The lameness over
the kidneys and the terrible aching
continued in spite of everything that
did and there seemed to be no relief
for me. | learned about Doan's Kidney
Pills aud read the statements made by
people who had used them and con-
cluded to try them. They not only re-
moved the iameness and backache but
they benefited my health III general.
They also relieved the headaches to
which had been subject for a consid-
cradle length of time. l can recon-
mend Doans' Kidney Pills as reli-
able backache and kidney cure. -
