have been presented to the political re-

White Mills, Pa.
My Dear Doctor:
Your letter of inquiry regarding the
place of residence of my ncighbor Col.
G. G. Pratt received to-day. | am Justly
proud to state to you that Col. Pratt is
a resident of New Milford, Pa. He was
born and grew up in this town was
away from here some seven or eight
years when young man, but for the
last thirty years his residence has been
here continuously.
For the last five years he has closed
his house for few months in the win
ter and gone to Binghamton, where
Mrs. Pratt's mother has her home and
where the children could attend high
school without leaving home. He was
here every few days to look after his
business and to get his mail and always
came here to vote.
Now doctor, have lived near neigh
Dor to Col. G. c. Pratt for eighteen
years, during which time | have been
his family physician and have had many
business dealings with him.
He is broad minded christian gentle
man of more than average ability and n
desire to see every man have square
deal, and especially to help the poor
man who is trying to help himself.
They have always lived in a rented
house when in Binghamton, and Mrs.
Pratt has an electric runabout which
she runs herself and kept at Il garage.
The dealer who sold them the car,
Sherman Lewis, of Binghamton, pro-
cured license to run the car gave the
residence as Binghamton, n. v, with
out consulting them.
see that The Daily Times Record of
Sayre, Pa, is claiming that this license
to run motor car in Binghamton is
evidence that Mr.. Pratt is q resident of
| Binghamton. OF course this will not
injure Mr.. Pratt where he is known, and
hope that the sensible people of this
Congressional district will recognize thi.
political trick which is being worked on
them.
Col. G. G. Pratt should receive the
vote of every man i'll this Congressional
District who has the best interest of the
country at heart regardless of his par.
ticular party. Yours fraternally,

which sustains the doctor in his opinion
that the water of certain spring within
the borough limits is contaminated, and
suggests that it is at present inadvis-
able to use it for domestic purposes
without half an hours boiling. 1t is also
advised that the spring be disinfected
with unslaked lime then cleaned out
and allowed to refill, after which fresh
samples of the water should be esubjected
to analysis. The Commissioner letter
does not state positively, however, that
there were any typhoid bacilli in the
specimens already examined by the ex.
perts of his department.

The coming of "Girls" to the Lyric,
on Wednesday, Nov. 4th, will be anx-
iously awaited by local theatre goers.
"Girls' is just what could be expected
from the pen of the versatile and sur
prising Clyde Fitch. Dramatic critics
are loud in their praise of both play,
production, and presenting company,
and all seem to be of the same opinion
that there is nothing so refreshing after
a hard days work as to spend an even
ing with "Girls," and listen to the spark
ling dialogue of the "man-haters, and
to witness the innocent trouble they sue
ceed in making for themselves.
"Girls," or better still "The Man
haters," the newest comedy by Clyde
Fitch, who has given some wonderful
successes to the stage, will be the mag
net that should pack the Lyric Theatre
Theatre on Wednesday, Nov, 4th.
