fcient money for their daily expenses
and that they had plenty coming IN
from other sources
The greatest difficulty OF the revOlu-

Because CT the numerous reflections on

that aflictiOn has determined 20 rid him

through the use Of q little poslam, the
new skin remedy, naturally flesh-colored
which heals and hides skin imperfec-

for less serious skin affections. such as

The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-05-11

THE King is dead long live the
King" King Edward assembled the
throne nine years ago, and it was
thought that on account of his
previous life of pleasure-seeking,
etc, that he would be a dismal fail
ure, but he proved himself King
of Kings and one of the most tactful
sovereigns the world ever knew. Now
another Prince of Wales ascends the
throne and again there are sighs,
mutterings and dark prophecies as
to Great Britain's future. Although
King George inherits a throne that
is set upon a powder mine, yet his
tory may repeat itself and the King
of to-day and tomorrow may pleas
antly surprise his millions of loyal
subjects as did the King of yester-
day.

in which the work people respond.
OF organized efforts there may be
many, but none more potent for the
true good of the home town than
one which results in obtaining from a
proper trained city designer-there
are a scant half a dozen such in
America plan for development.
city planning" is city common
sense. No sane man would think of
building a house by random, with
out a plan, but most American towns
have grown just that way. A proper
plan does not propose to tear up or
rebuild a community; it does propose
to take proper advantages of extern
sions, to bring into proper use for
the public the ideas that have been
found to make for health and wealth
and happiness in town construction.
A sane plan sees a generation or
more ahead, and it points out the
places for parks and Fairgrounds and
civic centers, it shows the value of
water front Improvement, it formu-
lates the best practice for street de-
tails.
If the American Civic Association
had done nothing else than foster city
planning. it would have long since
justified its existence. So | conclude
by urging the aspiring lover of the
home town, large or small, as one in
concert. to work for a good city plan
as next to the fundamental provision
for the liberties of the state"
