LESS ADULTERATION
OF FOOD SHOWN.
Commissioner FOust Reports Ter
minatiOn of 621 State Prosecu-
tiOnS in Year.

Harrisburg, Pa.-The work of the
State Dairy and Food Bureau for the
calendar year 1910 has in some re-
spects been unprecedented in volume,
according to Commissioner Foust.
The special agents purchased and
the chemists analyzed during the year
1884 samples, including 184S milks,
1861 general foods, 93S buffers, 499
creams, 2SS ice creams, 2S3 oleomar-
garine, 27S non-alcoholic drinks and
SO samples of other classes.
Prosecution for adulteration, mis-
branding, departure below standard
and other infractions of food laws
were terminated in 621 cases, affect
ing almost 20 kinds of food and non
alcoholic drinks. OF these 231 were
oleomargarine cases, 70 milk cases
and 62 ice cream cases.
Among the less frequent, but
highly interesting classes of cases,
were those for the sale OF rotten
eggs, of cakes and crackers adul-
terated with boric acid, marshmal-
low confections, adulterated with
sulphurous acid, sausage containing
added starch and water, pie filler
with artificial color initiating that
of fruit, decomposed potatoes and
wormy chestnuts.
The commissioner adds that the
fines and costs imposed by the
courts in these cases amounted to
$50, ,405.S4, of which those for the
violation of the oleomargarine law
amounted to SIS, ,456.92, or almost
One-half.
The total receipts of the bureau
for the year, including $79,697.11
derived from oleomorgarine licen-
ses, amounted to 0,SO2.95, the
disbursements to $79,661.65, leav-
ing a balance of $31, ,141.30 excess
of receipts over expenditures.
The public will, the commissioner
believes, be gratified that the work
of the year has been accomplished
without any addition to the tax bur
den. 1t is, he says, more important,
however, that the annual record
shall exhibit progressive decrease in
the adulteration and misbranding
of the foods and beverages sold in
the state.
1t is a matter of congratulation
for all concerned that in the case of
many of the chief food staples the
record marks a distinct decrease in
these nefarious practices.

GOOD EVENING"!
(In The City,.

When we left our hotel after q
''bang-up" breakfast, to go down to
business, Tuesday morning, the
thermometer registered forty de-
grees above zero. We passed scores
of men and women, on the street,
burrying to their places of employ
ment, with the "fear" look on their
faces.
1.-THE SeelyviIle Express" with her
engine putting and blowing like q
porpoise, was just pulling out of the
Union Station. There was weird
uncanny feeling in the air. Lights
were few and far between, and il
was dark as pitch.
"When you look at his appear
ance," remarked friend to us yes
terday, in describing the personal
appearance of a prominent citizen
"You'd think he was rough buck.
But he's gentleman everyway."
just another way of saying that
"beauty is only skin deep" and that
"handsome is, as handsome does,'
wasn't it?
Meet me at the Lecture in the
High School tonight, Neighbor!

SENATOR HUFFMAN HONORED.
Will Assist in Arranging for the In
auguratiOn of GoVernOr-EIect
Tener-Only Two Demo-
Gratis Chosen.

Stroudsburg, Pa, January g.
Hon. Harvey Huffman, the State
Senator from this district, was given
a high honor the first day of his
entrance into that body of lawmak-
ers, by being chosen one of the men,
bers of the special committee that
will have charge of the arrange
ments for the Inauguration of Gov
ernor-elect Tener.
The appointment was made by
President Grove, of the Senate. The
Senate committee is composed of
seven members, two of whom are
Democrats, Mr.. Huffman and Sena-
tor Morgan, of Northampton. The
many friends of the local Senator
will take great pride in the fact that
he has been singled out for the
honor. Mr.. Huffman arrived home
on Tuesday evening, the Legislature
having taken a recess for the ap-
pointment of committees, etc.
Hon. Eugene Kinney, the Repre-
sentative from this county in the
House, had the honor of naming the
Democratic candidate for Speaker
of the House.

"BOOK" FARMERS BETTER
PRODUCERS.
Generation Will Recognize
Scientific Agriculturists.

Reading, Pa.-The annual meet
ing of the Berks County Agricul
tural Society was held here las
Saturday, when james McGowen
the president, made his annual ad
dress to the society. He declared
that the prosperity of the countr.
depends upon the annual count.
fairs. He said in part:
"A word of encouragement
that includes something more
than the counting of bushels
and acres, is in the report that
a larger number of young men
each year are choosing farming
for their life occupation. The
agricultural colleges are extend
ing their facilities to accom-
modate increased attendance.
This means that the posi-
tion of the farmer as a business
man is being established, and
his sons, instead of hurrying
to the city to seek other oc-
cupations, are realizing that
there is a field for their best
endeavor on the old home
stead, though that term has al
most passed away. The COM
ing generation will be a sur
prise to those of the old school.
You will hear the man in
overalls, milkpail or pitchfork
in hand, talking clear English
of balanced nutrition, econ
omy of production scientific
breeding, and specialized
farming in all its forms.
"He will discuss the quality
of soil ingredients and moral
ize on the benefit of crop rota-
ton. He has learned farming
from books, but the fact that
he is able to produce more
bushels to the acre and more
profit from the years work is
earning him respect"

GOOD MORNING!
(On The Earml.

you've got everything now for
your trip to Bermuda, Mary, haven't
you?" inquired her mother the
morning after her return from
HOnesdale, where her daughter had
purchased a set of mink furs.
"Oh dear No, Mother" said Mary.
81 need suit the worst way"
"What are they wearing now?"
"Everything is very, very plain.
Hip" coats are fashionable. Every
thing is dark; no light colors. Black
velvet is very stylish. The waist is
very long, to make you appear very
long and slender. "Long lines" they
call the effect. The skirts are made
very narrow; semi-hobble effect;
that's the very latest. Everything
is strictly tailor-made; no trimming.
1 want to get Persian waist, Glib
son effect, you know what that is;
one-piece waist; and l want Per-
sian belt to match"
'NIy, but you know all about the
fashions. l guess when you go to
Bermuda the other girls won't be
able to hold candle with you," said
her mother admiringly.
'Oh, Mother! Well, Pa said he'd
get me suit next week, when Silas
Snodgrass pays him the interest on
his mortgage. They make altera-
tions free of charge in Honesdale,

LOVELY COMPLEXIOA
A CLEAR SKIN AND BRIGHT

All the beauty creams in creation
won't improve your complexion if
your stomach is out of order.
Belching of gas and heartburn

food means bad blood and bad blood
means a bad complexion.
Try MI-O-NA stomach tablets for
stomach misery, biliousness, dizziness
and indigestion. They relieve in a
few minutes; they make rich, red
blood. They are guaranteed by G.
w. Peil to cure or money back.
Read what Kansas woman says:
81 had been doctoring a year for
stomach trouble and found nothing
that did as much good as MI-O-NA.
| only have the second box and they
have relieved all pain in my stom-
ach. For stomach trouble or indi-
gestion MI-O-NA can't be beaten.

for me when doctors failed. Mrs.

"FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH"

"FE1lJA1 IHE IE1iit hEEN 4 H.
Once again the fatal combination
of the thirteenth month, the thir-
teenth day, and Friday, occurs. BY
millions of people the advent of this
day is dreaded. And there is abund-
ant reason for the superstitiOus fears
entertained on this score.
Terrible events have taken place
ON Friday. On Friday Jesus, the
Man of GaliIee, the only perfect
man that ever lived, and whose
teachings have turned the world up
side down, was cruCified.
''Black Friday" in Wall street will
never be forgotten. Tom Lawson

shook the country's financial strong
hold from centre to circumference on
"Friday The Thirteenth" some
years ago.

Sick folks, and well, be especially
careful of your health on this inau-
spicious Friday! Saint and sinner
do not fail to 'go to church." ON the
morrow! Employees be faithful in

some slight infraction of the rules
may send you shivering, out in the
cold, cold street! Beware of Friday

ELECTION LAW REFORM.
Five Bills May BE Presented From
the Legislative Commission.

Harrisburg, Pat is said that
the election law commission has
prepared five bills for submission to
the legislators, although but two
have been prepared.
Specific communications it is
said on good authority, will be made
in favor of the Massachusetts, bal
lot, or one resembling it as closely
as practicable in this State. This
form of voting is described as akin
in its simplicity to the old west
pocket system, with safeguards sur
rounding it that were absent from
the old form.
The abolition of personal regis
tration in cities of the third class
and the return to the assessment OF
voters which prevailed there prior to
the enactment of the present law are
also said to be contemplated in the
recommendation for the revised
code.
A uniform ballot for all the coun-
ties is recognized as difficult of ac-
complishment on account of the diff
ferent conditions existing in congest-
ed election districts of the State, the
varying needs of large cities like
Philadelphia and Pittsburg and
sparsely populated regions like Pike,
Monroe, Fulton, Wayne and other
of the rural counties of the State.
1t is admitted that it would be diff
ticult to apply the same system of
voting and the listing of electors in
such localities as those named, and
it is desired by the cimmission to
perfect some system that will solve
this problem.
1t is planned by the commission
to recommend the changing of the
date of the primary elections from
! June to September and forbid the
name of candidate for nomination
to appear on more than one ticket.
The object of this proposition is to
prevent the raids" on the tickets of
minority parties that are so easily
made under the present system, and
of which vivid illustrations have
been given in this city and else
where.

New Store.
A happy and prosperous New Year
to all the readers of THE CITIZEN!
The Old Year went out beautifully
as far as the weather, New Year S
eve was concerned.
Saturday afternoon was one of
revelry. All who were at liberty
were out for some kind of amuse-
ment. Every theatre was crowded
and an hour before performances be-
gan, no seats were to be had. The
writer saw Naughty Marritta" and
would say it's a pretty play, with
good music. At five o'clock around
Times Square, the crowd coming
from the theatres added to the usual
New York crowd at that time of day,
was so great that it was impossible
to pass on the sidewalk. Later the
crowd was greater, but the police
then insisted on the people going
down town keeping to one side, and
the people going up town, staying on
the opposite side. The noise was dis
tracing. You could not hear the
voice of the person at your side, but
it was all in good humor, while wine
and champagne flowed like water in
the many crowded restaurants and
cafe. On the street, there was no
signs of intoXication. Though busi-
ness men insist times are hard and
money scarce and every one is COM
planning of high prices, all was for
gotten for a few hours, while merri-
ment held sway. When the chimes
at Trinity rang out the old and rang
in the new, thousands held high the
glass, while one toast after another
was given. Perhaps the New Year
is in sympathy with the hundreds
who are sorrowing and suffering,
for we have come to believe as
story of one life after another has
come to US, that nine out of ten
lives in this city are a living tragedy.
And so maybe, after the hilarity of
the holidays has worn off, and one
after another sums up the cost of the
pleasure, given and gained, that
when all the facts are looked at in
the clear day light, instead of the
glare of THE Great White Way"
there is weeping-and truly the ele
ments are in sympathy, for it has
rained since Sunday, and on New
Years Monday the fog was so dense
you could not see the building next,
and many a captain said it was the
worst they ever experienced. Sever
al ferries were discontinued, and
many ships were held up for several
hours.
To those interested in business
propositions we would state that
WoolWorth, of 5 and 1O-cent store
fame, is soon to build the highest
building in New York. Mr.. Wool
worth has now over two hundred
stores, all prosperous. We under
stand that these stores pay fair sal
aries, and remember their help in
substantial way at Christmas time.

There is no doubt whatever that
the people of Pennsylvania general
ly have great confidence in the sim
cerity of the new Chief Executive.
His promise that he will give a busi-
ness administration, governing more
from the standpoint of practical
utility, than from that of theoretical
experiment, will not be unpleasant
to the average voter.
Economy, if carried into honest
and actual effect, will go great
ways towards tightening the burdens
of the people.
