Pennsylvania Health Department

GoVernor-elect Tener has an
nounced his intention of inviting DR..
Samuel G. Dixon to remain as Com
missioner of Health in the great de-
partment maintained by the State.
His decision will be very generally
applauded.
1t may not be known to all, but
1t is fact, that the State Depart
ment of Health has won in a very
brief period the confidence and the
hearty praise of men engaged in
sanitary work, wherever such work
is conducted intelligently. For
years Pennsylvania was exceedingly
lax in health matters, but with the
creation of the new department Dr..
Dixon took hold with energy and he
may be said to have actually shaped
its course. He has been supported
by the Legislature with money, and
during his administration a drastic
crusade has been inaugurated against
disease and along the lines of pre-
YeHtion, which has ACCOMPLISHED
results which are truly marvellous.
The publication of streams and
rivers and the disposal of sewage
are matters of vital Importance. Dr..
Dixon has secured the enactment of
legislation under which he is sure
ly and steadily, without shouldering
too much of financial burden upon
communities, working out the OBJ
Jects sought. Time will still be re-
quired to reach perfection, but the
progress is constant. Conservation
of child life is another subject to
which the Commissioner has given
much attention. But the battle
which he has put up against con-
sumption is perhaps the brightest
jewel in the casket of splendid ac-
complishments. In every county
there are dispensaries for free ex-
animation and for free treatment.
The home is looked after, while
there is a camp for open air treat
ment.
Pennsylvania no longer lags. In
fact, Pennsylvania now leads, and
this commanding position has been
won in few years under the direc-
tion and management of DR.. Dixon.
At personal sacrifice he has devot-
ed himself to an exhausting labor OF
love. 1t is only to be hoped that
he can be induced to continue his
work,-Philadelphia Inquirer.

"Christian Unity"
MIR. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Surely one cause for devout
Thanksgiving is to be found in the
fact that the churches of Honesdale
are in such close touch with each
other, marching shoulder to should
er against a common foe. The unity
for which we pray must first come,
it seems to me, in this way, That
they all may be one, that the world
may believe that thou didst send me,
and lowest them even as thou lowest
me-" In one verse Jesus uses the
word believe" and in another
know" We are to make glad His
heart, and influence the world by
our evident oneness. So while we
wait for that glad day to come,
ought we not in every way to live
it right here in Honesdale, uniting
on all proper occasions? One such
fact is worth more than many pray
ers that we may be one.

cause many of us were, / am sure,
impressed by the earnest words of
Bishop Paddock last Tuesday even
ing along just this line, and be-
cause it is such a hopeful sign of
what is surely coming: THE West
Side Minister'S Association, New
York City, is one of the most hope
full signs of the times looking to-
ward practical Christian unity. The
fact that on a recent morning twen-
ty-two ministers, representing five
different denominations, met at a,
m in the University Place, Presby-
terian Church, for celebration of
communion together, and the furth-
er fact that the administration of the
sacrament of the joint act of Epis-
copalian, Methodist and Presbyter-
ian ministers-are guide posts to a
new day in interdenominationa
comfy This association formed
several years ago largely as a result
of the efforts of Bishop Paddock, now
Bishop of Eastern Oregon, has for
its object cooperation in the Evan
gelization of Manhattan's West Side,
and includes in it's membership Pro-
testant ministers resident between
Christopher and 42nd streets,
Broadway and North River. A
Methodist pastor, planning for a SER
les of revival meetings in his own
church, had asked that the associa-
tion meet for special prayer and
conference in behalf of those meet
ings, and in accordance with this re-
quest, the above meeting was held
in University Place, Presbyterian
church. Conference followed this
remarkable intercommunion. The
Methodist minister later asked DR..
Mottet, Episcopalian, to preach for
him in these revival meetings, and
he heartily consented
A brighter day is dawning. Let
us not forget Bishop Paddock S
earnest request that we pray for the
speedy coming of the day, and let
us help it on in every way in our
power.

Facts Concerning Lime-Sulphur
Spray Material.


The following information con-
corning lime-sulphur solution was
sent by Professor H. A. Surface, state
zoologist, Harrisburg. Pa, to a
Reading correspondent, who desired
detailed instruction on the subject
of lime-sulphur spraying:
You can spray your peach and
apple trees of different ages with the
same strength lime-sulphur solution,
and none of them will be injured,
for scale insects and other insect
pests, and plant disease germs, and
they will be cleaned up by this. You
can do your spraying of both peach
and apple in the early part of the
winter, or in the latter part of the
spring, if you wish. 1t will be all
right to spray in December, as you
suggest. You may be assured that
it is not necessary to modify the
strength of the solution for peach
trees. | recommend, by all means,
that peach and plum trees be spray
ed with the boiled lime-sulphur
wash, whether they have scale on
them or not.
IF l were to choose the best time
for the lime-sulphur spraying,
would prefer that it be just as the
buds are swelling in the early spring
but often there is not time to do
the work thoroughly then, and it
is far better to do it shortly after
the leaves drop, or during the win
ter time, and be sure that it is done
and completed in the proper man
ner, rather than to delay it until
toward spring, with the risk that
something may prevent it's being
done thoroughly. You must remem-
Der that one important point is, that
strong winds are liable to be blow
ing in the spring, and while one can
spray with the wind, he cannot pos
sibly spray against it. Thus if the
operator can do only half a job,
it really means no job at all, unless
he is able to catch a wind blowing
in the opposite direction, or watch
for a period of weather when he can
spray thoroughly the entire side of
the trees, that he could not reach
while the wind was blowing.
II note with great interest, that
you had wonderful results from
spraying this year with the lime-sul-
phur solution, and it is great ell
couragement to continue it, This
is the universal report from those
who used it thoroughly in this
state.
For planting any kind OF trees
prefer fall to spring. l have never
had experience in planting Catalpa,
but personally should prefer to plant
them in the fall when / had soil and
weather conditions favorable, and
have more time to do il properly. |
shall be pleased to answer other in
quiries along my line If needed"

the home of freedom, the land of OPP
portunity for her own sons and for
the oppressed from all the world.
Let us thank Him for our public
school system divine inspiration in
Puritan breast nurtured by Anglo
Saxon love and truth of liberty. Let
us thank Him for the strong and
living influence even until now of old
New England throughout the broad
land. Let us thank Him that under
the guidance of this conquering
spirit of endeavor the multitudes of
Europe seeking our hospitable shores
have been Jealous to maintain high
standards of natural life and indi-
vidual character, and that America
is able to assimilate ingredients of
population many and varied. Let
us thank Him that He has made man
but little lower than the angels
and placed in his heart the desire to
increase in the sature and fibre of
his soul until he shall be fit for
the heavenly realms. Yea! let us
establish the habit of thankfulness
to God as well as man as a neces-
sary trait of true character and the
upbuilder of the soul.
But then let us remember that
has commissioned us-you and me,
each one of us--to be His fellow
workers. The work to be done is
of overwhelming Importance loom
ing up above all else that calls us.
The traditions of the land of Wash
ington and Lincoln, of Thomas JEFF
ferson and Grover Cleveland, which
they received from men of sturdy
souls, are to be maintained. Many
dangers threaten. But of them all
there is none so great as the danger
of indifference on your part and
mine to duty, this duty of exerting
in the complex life of our own town
and of every day the strong influence
of Christian manhood and woman
hood. Many are guilty of precisely
this. If that means you or me, may
God have mercy on our souls. Here
in this noble land is being conducted
the great divine experiment-the
supreme hope of salvation of the
human race. The very Soul of God
is in it. The Spirit of God calls for
the whole-souled aid of every recipi-
ent of the blessings of this free land
where opportunity is universal. God
needs that every man shall do his
duty. Are you doing YOURS?
Have you even ever thought that
you had a duty? All! that is the
difficulty, the great hindrance to the
outworking of the purposes of the
living God. We have not taken to
ourselves the responsibility which
rests upon us as our birth-right of
doing the work of God. May God
strike to the heart of every man
among US who is trying to SHIRK
| his responsibilities the dagger of
conviction of mission of good,
which God has for him. And may
the divine weapon slay the giant
of cloth in our hearts, the strong
| ally of Satan.
o Americans, natives of the soil
and adaptive sons, in the presence
of the many dangers which threat
en- the quality of our national char
acter, | appeal to you, for the love

'Strike-till the last armed foe ex-
pires;

Mr.. Editor:
Your paper of the 23rd interested
me in many ways. One was the
"love feast" or testimony meeting

thankfulness, etc. | read large eX-

morning. For myself | will add an
other reason. / am thankful for the
two fayOrs a week you have shown
me for so long a time. | think our
county papers are improving along

that greatly interests me is THE

stereopticon lecture on Beautiful

sort for nervous people. | would
like to know more about it. Perhaps
after the tours you can give an ar
ticle on that view. Please pardon
one other inquiry In my sermon
this morning | said that this year
we had the largest corn crop ever
known in the country at large.

Sinking a Plain Duty

The granting Of private pen

eral pension laws are broad
enough TO cover every righteous

been broadened by loose inter

Confronted with the alternative
Of approving fraudulent claims
from the states assigned to hin
Texas, North Carolina. South
Carolina and the island of Porte
Rico or denying applicants from
these states a share Of the spoils,
Congressman Dies resigned,
This is tantamount to a confes-
sion that the same spirit Of polit-
zeal fear and subserviency which
he charges influences his col
leagues TO vote for such claims
prompts him TO resign and eyade
the responsibility. Unwilling
himself 10 parcel out the spoils
TO his constituents, he steps
aside that another may do this,
instead Of sticking to his post
and doing his duty by defeating
as many unjust claims as lies in
his power.
One congressman cannot re-
form all the abuses in the govern
ment, but he can do one mem
ber's part ia this work. AS a
member Of the pension committee
Congressman Dies could defeat
many fraudulent private pension
bills. Of that committee he
will be powerless TO defeat a
single one. BY Sinking this OPP
portunity Mr.. Dies evidences a
regard for his political fortune
superior 10 his hatred Of public
plumber. TO the extent that this
spirit pervades congress will the
private pension grab flourish.

Sweetwater Packing Plant

Sweetwater, Texas, Jan. 49,
Last week the McSweeney Pack

and $50, 600 worth Of bonds, with
a reasonable contract from the
Sweetwater people.
Word has been received by
wire that the Sweetwater con-

will be installed as soon as pos
sible, that the blue prints are be-
