The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1911-03-08

| Y. The sessions Will begin on We'd
nesday, March 30, and will be pre-
sided over by Bishop Robert McIn-
tyre, Minneapolis. 1t promises to
be a most important conference and
the work of the four district super
intendents will be reviewed, and
considerable interest will attach tc
their reports, as their territory has
been enlarged so that the four SUI.
perintendents now do the work that
was formerly done by six presiding
elders, giving each superintendent an
average of about fifty-five churches
in his district
Mrs. Ellen Drake, Hohokus, N. j.,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. John
Blake, Cherry street.
Mrs. T. e. Galloway, who has been
| spending several months with her
daughter, Mrs. A. L. Schuller, at
| Montclair, N. j., returned home the
first of the week.
Harry P. Cassidy, special agent
of the dairy and food department,
says that instructions had been is
sued to inspect all Gorgangola
cheese, which is imported chiefly
from Italy.
This cheese has been found to be
covered with a coating" said Mr..
Cassidy, the primary purpose of
which is nothing more than to cheat,
namely, to increase the weight of
the cheese 16 to 26 per cent, which
the consumer pays for.
Aside from the fact that the
coating cheats and defrauds, it con-
tains a poisonous substance, which,
by absorption, penetrates the cheese.
The poison is known chemically as
| barytes' or 'barium sulphate.' The
normal commercial use of this poison
is in making mixtures of white paint
and is extensively used by paint
manufacturers. On the cheese the
coating is colored with a prepara-
tion of iron rust to give it it's brown
color
The government permits this
stuff, covered with a substance used
to mix white paint, to enter the
country.
"The analysis was made by Pro-
fessor Charles H. laval of 80
South Tenth street, Harrisburg, the
chemist for the department. The
use of this chemical in candy is pro-
hibited by federal and state law.
This cheese sells at so cents a
pound"
Fishermen all over the state are
very much interested in a bill soon
to make it's appearance in the legis-
lature and which permits one to fish
on Sunday. Such a law graces the
cfo +n af
some years back there has been a
movement here in Pennsylvania to
get just such a measure passed
The Sunday fishing bill will be more
heartily supported by the disciples of
Isaac Walton than is the measure
affecting hunters and which pro-
vides that every hunter must take
out an annual license, the cost of
which is to be made 81 per. Every
mail coming to the capitol brings a
dozen or more petitions signed by
many hunters and which urge the
legislators to put their foot on the
proposed hunters license law. The
Game Commission is back of the
move to have the hunters license
bill become law, explaining it's
stand by stating that such a measure
will bring to the state something
| like $150,000 annually. This mon
ey it is proposed to spend in restock-
ing the woods and to further prose-
cute the illegal hunter.
The annual meeting of the Homes
dale Business Mems Association will
be held Wednesday evening, March
8, at 8 o'clock in Town Hall, when
officers will be elected and other i'm
| portant business transacted.
Although the following advice in a
trade paper is addressed to sales
clerks, it is really of more import
ance to the buyer:
Statesmen cannot pay too much
attention to the fitting of rubbers, for
half the life of the rubber is in the
proper fit. / believe in fitting rub
bers as large as possible.
do not stretch a " rubber over
shoe. 1t puts too much strain on
| the rubber, and it will break before
! half worn out. Watch and see that
| the sole does not project over the
edge of the rubber.
do not sell Cuban heel rubbers
| for low heel shoes and vice versa.
We can supply a rubber for almost
any heel made to-day. If you do not
have rubbers to fit, it is your own
fault
'Do not sell motorman, teamster
or any man or boy who gives a rub
ber hard use light rubber. You
would not sell light dress shoe for
everyday wear; do not do so with
your rubbers. Watch sales more care
! fully, and you will have no trouble
with your rubber trade.
Watch the heels of the custom
ers' shoes, especially the Cubans.
When they get half worn off no rub
| ber will fit or wear over them. Sug-
gest that they get them built before
wearing the rubbers. This causes a
large majority of the complaints OF
rubbers breaking down at the heels,
both on mems and ladies' rubbers.
Tell your customers not to use
their rubbers like a stick of wood af-
ter they have worn them few times
for freezing up on the stoop and
thawing out under the hot stove does
not help them any"
