Causes Indigestion and Stomach Dis
treSS.
Indigestion or any chronic stom-
ach trouble leads to loss of vigor
and vitality; half the nervous wrecks
in America today can blame indiges-
tion for their condition.
Fermentation of food means that
your stomach is run down; that
your food does not digest and that
the blood, not being supplied with
nutritious elements, cannot supply
the various organs of the body with
sufficient nourishment.
That's why indigestion often
causes eye weakness, brain fag, pal
pitation of the heart and inactive
liver.
MI-O-NA stomach tablets will build
up your run down stomach, will
Danish indigestion and put your
whole system in good condition If
you will give them chance. They
are sold by G. w. Peil at only so
cents a large box.

Especial to The Citizen.1
EAST HONESDALE,, Pa. June Z

EhoI hoNESDALE., "a, June ~.
The hustling little suburb of East
Honesdale, although it does not sup
port as many industries as the Maple
City, keeps many heads of families
daily employed. The East Homes
dale improvement association looks
after the place and has it kept in
tidy condition, while the township
supervisors are doing their best to
keep the much-traveled roads in
first-class shape.
The pretty little settlement on
Thursday afternoon of last week
was hidden from view for few
minutes by streak of dust made by
a Hawley car. The reporter could not
ascertain the number of the car ow-
ing to the thick dust and speed
made. If the owner of the automo-
bile had struck child he would
have never known it. Why do auto
owners defy the signs, go slow?"
When they do see these signs they

open their machines and "go like
sixty" Why not enforce the auto
mobile speed ordinance in East
Honesdale as well as in the county
seat?
Fred L. Giehrer, Jr., has accepted
a position in the Erie Office at this
place, where he is receiving instruc-
tion from Agent Maloney as to how
to operate a railroad station, pre-
paratory to accepting situation
with this company in one of its sta
tions.
Thomas Moore, Prompton, shipped
two carloads of excelsior to New
York city, Thursday. For a small
plant Mr.. Moore is doing consider
able business.
From the amount of freight
handled at the Erie depot it appears
that there was no shrinkage in the
production of Honesdale industries
this year. During the month of May
the receipts this year were $4,000
more than they were year ago the
corresponding month.
The Wayne Milling company are
baling their own hay. A press is
located in the yard and several tons
are turned out in a day.
The large gasoline engine sta
toned in the road near the Six mill
frightened several teams on Thurs
day. The large dray horse of Fred
Weniger baked and as a result the
harness and wagon was damaged.
The Penwarden Manufacturing
company is running on full time.
Twenty-one men are employed and
the employees do not know what it
Is to experience an idle day. From
one to two carloads of their product
is shipped every week from the Erie
station at this place.
The Borden company at this place
are getting their lines on the land
along the Erie track below their
present plant. The company owns
about three and a half acres on the
flats east of the track. Plans have
been adopted by Borden's company
to erect a main building 40x3OO
feet with bottling room 40x100
feet. The latter will be of white tile
brick and will be one of the most
modern creameries of the several
stations owned by the company. Ex-
tending south of the bottling sec
tion will be large ice house 40x200
feet, with a capacity of $4,000 tons.
"A llLIlS uiSJduCe uOrIH Oh the main
building will be a storage 40x1OO
feet. All buildings outside of the
creamery will be of wood. The
buildings will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 100000.
John H. Penwarden has fine and
UNDUE collection of chinaware, which
he has saved during the past several
years. He decided to make his
souvenirs cups and saucers and has
over one hundred different kinds in
the collection, no two being alike.
They come from all parts of the
United States and England. Mr..
Penwarden is very proud of his col
lection and he has reason to be. He
also has number of picture frames
which he made from native woods.
They are very pretty and represent
vast amount of time and skilled
labor.
One of the drawbacks of the beau
ty of East Honesdale is the insight
ly debris of the old brewery, located
on Willow Ave. The improvement
association could make bee and
clean it up some Saturday afternoon.
Ivy could trail over the ruins and
cover it from sight.

EAST HoNEsDALE WORKER.
Editor The Citizen:

Editor Inc CltlZen:
The future of Honesdale will be
just what we make it. If the mer-
chants and the glass manufacturers
want industry, trade and commercial
success there is just one way TO get
it-"stand together and pull" We
must all get the pull together hab-
it" and work in union and harmony
if we expect to accomplish our plans.
To those who have been knocking
the town the writer has a few sug-
gestions to offer.
The citizen who is perpetually
running down his town is hurting it
and hurting himself also. Don't do
it any longer. Try boosting. You
will find it will be worth while. We
want a bigger, better and Greater
Honesdale and if we accomplish this
end we must all work for the best
interests of our town. Have public
spirit and civic pride at heart and il
occasion demands it, whereby you
may be of any real help in either
direction, don't place block in the
wheel, but respond cheerfully when
demand is made.s
If you are resident of Honesdale
and take pride in your town you un-
doubtedly will be asked within few
weeks to part with some of your
material welfare to aid in support
ing home industries; also, from a
public-spirited standpoint, to help in
the erection of a memorial in one of
our parks.
Honesdale, to be generally known,
must be advertised. If the town
erects joint monument, sacred to
the memory of Horatio Allen, the
first locomotive engineer, and to the
"Stourbridge Lion," the first locomo-
tive to run in America, it will come
into prominence and strangers COM
ing here will tell of the love and ad-
miration it has for it's departed ones
and of the industrial advantages
Honesdale enjoys. This is an age in
which towns and cities must adver-
tise and be advertised. 1t is true
the Greater Honesdale Board of
Trade has advertised Honesdale in
descriptive literature, which has
been spread to all points of the COM
pass; special articles have been pub
lished in the local press presenting
the advantages here and as a result
Honesdale has come in contact with
the outside world. But still there is
something lacking. What is it? you
may inquire.
1t is the lack of interest on the
part of the individual. There have
been several enterprises or PROPOSE
tions that have presented themselves
and after the first enthusiasm has
worn off they are dropped. This is
demonstrated right now in the pro-
posed oiling of Main street. Prop
erty owners who pledged their sup
port have withdrawn their names
or dropped down half in their pro-
portion. The boring for oil on the
Krantz farm is another illustration,
to say nothing of our belated trolley
system.
Now is the time to act. Let's all
get the pull together habit" and
work for the interest of our beautiful
and progressive town.
Very truly yours,
AN INTERESTED OBSERVER.

The Navy Yard EMPLOYEES.

The protest which the employees of
the ordnance shops at the navy yard
have submitted to the Secretary of the
Navy against the adoption of the So
called Taylor system is worthy of at
tention. Under this system, the stand
ard of efficiency is set by the fastest,
although not necessarily the best, work
man, and those employees who fail to
maintain this standard receive compen-
sation in proportion to their rapidity.
1t is claimed that this is an unfair
method of determining efficiency; be-
sides which, the supervision necessary
adequately to gauge results adds so
largely to the overhead charges that
economy is not secured.
If it be true, as asserted, that the
system has already been tried and dis
carded in large private manufacturing
plants, the government may wisely hest
tate before adopting it. The main point
at issue, however, is the allegation that
under the system the employees suffer
through being driven at a killing pace
and that the percentage of error in good
workmanship is dangerously increased
thereby The employees have, in brief,
submitted some arguments which are
entitled to serious consideration.

A Modern Marvel.

By perfecting the transmission OF
wireless messages across the Atlantic
from England to the eastern extremity
of the Canadian shore line, the Brit
ish admiralty is completing a system
whereby every foot of British soil
throughout the world will be in wireless
touch with London.
Surely, this is the age of marvels.
Messages through the air encircling the
globe mark another advanced step in
human progress. Hardly more than a
decade ago Marconi was experimenting
with his novel and curious instruments,
and now the atmosphere everywhere pal
pilates with electric waves, obedient to
the hand of man We have also solved
the problem of aerial navigation. The
man in the aeroplane is more numerous
to-day than the man in the automobile
twenty years ago Within a few DAYS
several aviators will attempt the 5000
mile trip from the Atlantic to the Pa
cihc. The time is not far distant when
some one will complete an aerial jour
ney around the world.
The child to-day accepts as common
place conditions that were beyond the
imagination of generation ago. What
is the end to be? What marvels are
in store for the children of a century
hence?

Dangerous Grade Crossings.

The numerous grade crossings in the
neighborhood of New York City exact
a fearful toll of human lives. Every
day a tragedy is recorded.
n Fortunately for Washington, grade
crossings in this city have been abol-
ished Many dangerous places still exist
however, within the limits of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and these ought to
be eliminated as promptly as possible.
1t probably will be many years ere we
can reach the total extinction of the
grade crossing nuisance, such as is en-
joyed in England, because our territory
IS so large and the railroads traverse
so much country that is sparsely set
tied There ought, however, to be a
definite and persistent movement toward
the removal of grade crossings between
large cities situated within close prox-
unity to each other, such as Washington
and Baltimore Under conditions now
prevailing, human life is in constant
danger.

city and Baltimore, for instance, crosses
