REASONS FOR COLD STORASE
EGGS
Properly Handled and Good When
Placed i'm Cold Storage, Eggs
viii Keep Ten to Twelve
Months.

There is a strong belief in many
localities that produce kept in cold
storage become tainted or unfit for
food. If it were not for cold stor-
age it would be impossible for the
people of the world to be even SPAR
ingly supplied with this same food.
The habit of purchasing eggs for
storage during the early spring
months is of great benefit to the
producer of eggs. The reason for
selecting the eggs laid at this time,
for storage is that, with the coming
of the fresh growth of herbage
which makes the strongest and best
albumen that can be made in eggs
and gives a tone and strength to the
egg that makes them better for that
purpose.
When the eggs are carefully Sc
lected and candled and are good
eggs when placed in storage they
will be equally good in ten or twelve
months hence, providing the storage
is cool and dry. If the temperature
is irregular and the air within the
storage house is damp, the eggs may
be spoiled; otherwise, as has been
stated above, the eggs will be just
as good when taken out of storage as
WDen placed tnere.
When eggs are candled and Sc
lected for storage, all unfit for this
purpose are sold at option in the
markets of the large cities and un-
fortunately many of these eggs are
purchased, re-packed and placed in
cheaper storage and these eggs be-
ing far from fresh when placed in
storage, deteriorate and when they
| r111 4 4 N,-s,
into disrepute, eggs that have been
properly stored.
If those who purchase eggs from
| storage houses would place them in
their store rooms without opening
the cases for ten or twelve hours un-
! til the eggs have become warmed
thoroughly, they could then be taken
out of the cases and placed on sale
without deterioration; but if those
same eggs are placed in a wagon and
carried through the streets or in
moderately cold weather and taken
into warm store and unpacked and
exposed in trays for sale, the heat
of the room coming in contact with
the shell that is cold, causes what
we call sweating" opens the pores
of the eggs and as they dry off i'm
purities may soak into them anC
those eggs that were perfectly goot
twenty-four hours before may not
then be savory for food.
The way to prevent the greater
part of all these troubles is to breed
fowls that will lay eggs during th,
winter months. 1t is thought tha'
some of the hens that won honors il
the Storr's, Connecticut, egg-layinl
contest will be exhibited at tn,
Scranton show, during the week o
January IA, and those of us who ar,
anxious to find out the kind of hen
that lay eggs during the winte
months should go there and examin,
the heavy egg-producers that will b,
shown there.

BILLS FOR SHEEP CLAIMS
AMOUNT TO S3tS.5O.
County Commissioners Pay Out
That Sum For Loss of Sheep
Killed by Dogs.

County Commissioners Neville
Holgate, John Male, and Earl Rock
well met at the court house on We'd
nesday afternoon and transacted
their monthly business. Bills to the
amount of over $4,000 were order
ed paid. The balance on bridge
contracts and other bills were paid
Among the bills paid were twelve
sheep claims paid amounting to
$2S9.50. Three claims were pre-
sented by Joseph Liccone, of Pal
myra, and he collected 1892 from
the county for the loss of ten sheep
killed by dogs and fifteen wounded.
w. F.. Chumard, of Salem, collect
ed Sc for one sheep wounded.
Herbert d. Oliver, of Berlin, col
lected $45 for four sheep killed.
c. j, Hartman collected $10.50
for one sheep killed
Amos Oliver, of Berlin, collected
$40 for one killed.
Anthony Boland collected $40 for
one killed.
w. H. Riley collected $44.5O for
three sheep killed and seven wound
ed.
Thomas P. Leonard, of Bucking-
ham, collected S12 for two killed,
and also $3.50 for three killed.
This is the season of the year
when claims of this character find
their way to the court house. Some
times the owners story is that dogs
owned by hunters come on his farm
and kill his sheep. The county is
not only called upon to pay for the
sheep destroyed but it must also pay
fees of one dollar each to the two
township auditors who serve as ap-
praisers another one dollar to the
squire for making out the afIidavits
and a half dollar to the man who
buries the carcass. Money for this
purpose comes from the dog fund,
the money received from the dog tax
from the various townships.
Among the bills paid was also the
sum of $50 for the burial of the
late John NJ. Hobbs, of Starrucca
The county is obliged to pay the cost
of burial of old soldiers.

MEMBERS OF FIRST
AID CLASS RECEIVE DIPLOMAS.
GouldsbOro Organization Render De-
lightful Program Monday Even
ing.

The first aid class at Gouldsboro
received their diplomas Monday
night when an appropriate program
was rendered. 1t was arranged by
the committee and Rev. j. Freder-
ick Stolte, pastor of the Lutheran
church at that place, acted as chair
man.
After singing a hymn the meeting
was opened with a prayer by Pastor
Robinson, of the Gouldsboro NJ. E.
church. Mr.. Stolte then introduced
Mr.. War;, general secretary of the
Scranton r. R. Y. NJ. c. A., who said
he found in the first aid class con-
crete demonstration of the world S
advance toward brotherly unity and
Christian friendship. He took his
audience back with him over the
pages of history, and showed that it
was but Christ alone, in His time,
who cared for either the bodies or
souls of men. And even to-day, it is
only where Christianity is that such
acts are to be seen. When we,
therefore, see these works, caring for
those who have met accidents, it is
an evidence of the progress of the
Gospel of Christ.
Mr.. War; was followed by a duet
sung by John Scheiterle and Dennis
Shea, of the car department, Goulds-
| boro. DR.. Wainwright, in a few
clear cut sentences, brought home to
| his class of first aiderS" and to the
people present as well, the object
| advantages and duties of a first aid
course. He promised to be with his
| class again next year and pointed
out to them a broader field of labor
Mr.. Scheiterle then rendered a musi
cal solo. T. e. Clarke, the assistant
to the president of the Lackawanna
was introduced and presented the
following with diplomas: John AK
en-, Harry Aiken, A. F. Bender, Ra!
| Crooks, John Scheiterle, w. A. Tig
er, Ruben Biesecker, d. E. Foley
Mr.. Dean, j. j. Fahey, Willard Sur
plus, Dennis Shea, A. H. Flower, Mr.
Elder, and Bert Dagger.
To each of the men a word o
cheer was spoken and congratula
tions extended. Mr.. Clarke said
The employer of today regards tn,
employe as brother, and that tn
employer is encouraged when tn
employe will help them to eliminat
misery and death. While the Lack
awanna takes every precaution L
avoid accidents, yet when they d.
occur, If their men can help unit
skillful service can be furnished, 1t
in this sphere that the spirit o
brotherhood between employer an
employe can be emphasized and 1t
this field that the first aid" wi
: find room for work. 1t is, therefore
that the Lackawanna extends II
, heartiest congratulations to thos
who have put themselves in a pos
tion to relieve the world of misery
, pain and death"

Diplomacy a Handmaid Of Commercial
Intercourse and Peace.
The diplomacy of the present ad-
ministration has sought to respond to
modern ideas of commercial inter-
course. This policy has been charac.
terized as substituting dollars for bull
let's. 1t is one that appeals alike to
idealtstic humanitarian sentiments, to
the dictates of sound policy and STRAIT
egy and to legitimate commercial
aims. 1t is an effort frankly directed
to the Increase OF American trade upon
the automatic principle that the gov
ernment of the United States shall ex-
tend all proper support to every leglti-
mate and beneficial American enter
prise abroad. How great have been
the results Of this diplomacy, coupled
with the maximum and minimum pro-
vision of the tariff law, will be seen
by some consideration of the wonder

United States Because modern d.

such an impression may be seen from
a study Of the results by which the

Successful Efforts In Promotion OF
Peace.
The government of the United
States was thanked for its influence
toward the restoration of amicable re-

United States is active in seeking to
assuage the remaining Ill feeling be,
tween this country and the republic OF
Colombia. In the recent civil war In

GOVERNOR TELLS OF MODERN
LAWS
Explains the States Government TO
Y. VI. c. A.-Outlines Public
Utilities, Child Labor, Old Age
Pension and Good Roads.

Governor Tener, addressing mem
bers of the Central Branch Y. NJ. c..
A, in Harrisburg, outlined modern
legislation which he desired placed
on the statute books of Pennsylva-
mia. This included a public utilities
commission act, child labor, old age
pensions, good roads, etc.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the School of Commerce
and Accounts of the Y. NJ. c. A. In
stitute and was presided over by
Franklin Spencer Edmonds, who re-
versed the usual order of things by
presenting the assemblage to the
Governor.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-12-06

While the topic assigned the
speaker was the public utilities
bill, he prefaced his remarks on this
subject by telling his audience
something of the way the State was
served by it's officials in Harrisburg,
and paid a social tribute to the head
of the State Board of Health, whom
he named as that splendid and eff
cient officer, your own DR.. Dixon"
He mentioned the work done year
ago at the time of the Austin dam
catastrophe, when the State depart
ments had "order brought out of
chaos" and every sanitary and hu-
manitarian requirement men inside
of twelve hours.
Commission Needs Power.
The Governor said in part;
Much is being said nowadays
about the proper exercise of the po-
lice power and the necessity for the
enactment of a certain class Of leg
islation which makes for the health,
the safety, the convenience, the NOR
ais and the general welfare of the
people And Pennsylvania to-day
has many such humane and pro-
gressive laws upon her statute
books, and more in contemplation.
Many of the statutes may we'll be
amended and extended; or, in some
cases, repealed and new statute
enacted, framed in the light of our
present enlarged knowledge and ex-
perience of the evils and the desired
remedies.
This observation is especially ap.
plicable to the act approved in May
1907, providing for the appointment
of a Railroad Commission and pre-
scribing it's powers and duties. In
point of fact the powers" of this
Commission are unworthy of the
name. They are simply recon-
mandatory.
Public service corporations are the
creatures of the State. The Com
monwealth grants to such corpora
tions special rights, franchises anC
privileges; and it is no longer de
batable that in return for sucl
grant the Common wealth may justl!
require of such corporations the per
formance of special duties, chic
among which are that they shal
render and furnish to the publ
safe, adequate and sufficient ser
vice and facilities; and that the.
shall charge for such service onl
just, reasonable and non-discrimina
tory rates and fares.
To Prevent Financial Juggling.
Such a requirement would likel
end the crying evil OF oyercapitali
Zation and "watered stock" and in
sure the practical enforcement O
the provision of the Constitution for
bidding the issuing OF stocks an
bonds except for money, labor don
or money or property actually re
ceived, and making null and vol
all fictitious increase OF stock O
indebtedness. If the commission
required to give it's certificate c
valuation and approval before tn
issuance of such stock and bondt
the result will be to give the Con
monwealth's stamp OF validity an
full value to all stock and bonds {
such corporations issued by Pennsy
vania companies.
Manifestly, however, II the regl
lation and supervision OF such publ
service companies is to count, III
commission must be invested wit
full power and authority, after pro-
er investigation and hearing,
make, not merely recommend
tions," but findings, rulings and O
ders which shall be binding upon IL

agents.
