SWEEPING OUT BAD AIR.

Nothing spoils an evening at home
so much as drowsy feeling. Bad
air is perhaps more often the cause
of this then anything else. Three
persons can use up all the good air
in an ordinary room within an hour.
So keep introducing pure air as
much as possible.
If an open window is uncomfort-
able, try sweeping the room with
air every half hour, or even more
often. Open all the doors and win
dows. Let the outside air food
thrugh. In an instant you will feel
invigorateu.
When the atmosphere seems pure
again, shut the windows and doors.
The room will heat up quickly, for
while the bad air has been swept
out, the walls, ceilings and heavy ar
ticles of furniture have retained
their warmth and thus it requires
little furnace heat to make the
room cosy once more.
Reapeat this operation as often
as you find it necessary and your
evenings will be less drowsy and
more healthy. The best thing about
this rule is that it can be applied
in daytime as we'll as at night

BENJAMIN'S AUTOMOBILE is

A five-passenger StoddardDayton
touring car, owned by Contractor c..
NJ. Benjamin, of Carbondale, was
totally destroyed by fire at the resi-
dence of l.. C.. Swingle at South
Canaan Thursday night of last week.
Mr.. Benjamin and party motored
from Carbondale to South Canaan.
He had experienced some motor
trouble on the way over and as soon
as they arrived at the Swingle home
he raised the hood of the automo-
bile to make an investigation.
AS soon as it was raised a blaze
shot out, which is supposed to have
been caused by leak in the gaso-
line feed. In a short time the ma
chine was ablaze and the fire gained
such headway that efforts to check
it were of no avail.

there were more than that number

Mr.. Sharpsteen's Honesdale friends
congratulate him on his success in
this, his first case under his new
office and hope that it will continue.
Mrs. Dolan was arrested some
months ago on information obtained
by Inspector Sharpsteen for mis-
using the United States mails. The
penal code provides for a fine OF
not more than $4,000 and not less
than $500 fine, or an Imprisonment
of from one to FIVE years, or both
for sending obscene literature
through the mails. Judge Wilmer
however, stated that he took heed
of the attorneys plea and was leni.
ent with the woman.
The case has caused much excite
ment in Susquehanna as Mrs. Dollar
was a member of the best society
of that place.

ROAD BUILDING PROGRAMS
ADOPTED
Ten States in Line; Many More TO
Have Plans for Highway Inn
provement This Year.

Ten states have adopted compre-
hensive road building programs in
the last three years and within the
next twelve months almost a dozen
more will have committed them
selves to definite plans for highway
improvements. The United States
government is assisting the general
movement by construction of model
roads on its reservations and by ex-
perimental work to determine the
best wearing materials and means of
keeping roads in order and free from
dust. In some states, notably New
York and Massachusetts, the road
building programs are about to be
enlarged and in Ohio and Virginia
the rebuilding of numerous high
ways is to be undertaken on a sys-
tematic basis, experiments similar
to those now being made by the
Pennsylvania State Highway depart
ment being now under way.
Pennsylvania has a road building
program for the first time, the Leg
islature of 1911 having enacted a
plan which had been demanded
for years by taxpayers, farmers, land
owners, economic students, men,
bers of the State Grange, automo-
bilists and others. This program
was inaugurated through an ap-
preparation of $3,000,000 for road
building purposes in 1911, but to
carry it out it is proposed to amend
the constitution so as to permit is
suance of bonds for road construc-
tion. If the next Legislature ap-
proves OF the amendment, the peo-
pie will vote on the proposition next
year. The State is now without
debt, because it's sinking fund con-
tains thousands of dollars above the
outstanding obligations, and as the
state has adpted a road building
plan it will be up to the people to
furnish the means to make it effec-
tive.
If the bond issue should by any
mischance be defeated good roads
| in Pennsylvania would be set back
perhaps ten years. The constitution
| prohibits the submission of the
same amendment oftener than once
| in five years. Thus it would be
| 1917 or perhaps 1919 or even later
| before the people if the S50,000,00
! projects SO generally endorsed
should be rejected at the polls. Blu
| it is not believed to be at all prob
able that the bond issue will fail o.
approval next year. Too much de
\ lpends upon 1t and too many peopl.
are Interested in providing goo(
| roads. Its defeat would make tn,
building OF new highways dependen
on appropriations from current reve
nues with consequent reduction il
allowances for construction oi
State aid" highways, systematic re
pair of State roads, sign posts, bridg
work and township roads. By pro
viding funds for the main highway
from the proceeds of the bond issu
the Legislature will be enabled to b.
more liberal in allowances to town
ships.

"Freckles" Will he at the Lyric Next
Tuesday.

An attraction which should cause
more than the usual desire to see a
play, is Neil Twomby's dTamatiZa-
tion OF Gene Stratton-Porter's wide
ly read story "Freckles," which will
be the attraction at the Lyric thea
tre next Tuesday, Oct. 29. When it
is considered that this fascinating
story of Indiana's great swamp
country, THE Limberlost," has had
more than a million readers, there
is no wonder that the drama is
causing far more than the ordinary
attention. Where a book contains
the vital requisites for dramatiza-
tion, the play is always of more in
terest than the story, because the
Imagination is not taxed and the
characters are living, breathing ones.
Those who have read "Freckles," ="
will understand the possibilities for
drama of far more than ordinary
strength in action, and environment.
There is unlimited scope for the
scene painter, the electrician and the
stage mechanic. and in these features
the production is said to be OF sur
passing magntficence.

JUDGE CANNOT MAKE
A REPORTER TELL.
Court Holds That Newspaper Mans
Confidence is InvioIable.

4 The question whether a newspaper
reporter can be required to reveal
'under oath the source of informa-
tion on which he bases a newspaper
article came up before Judge Turner
in Milwaukee, Wis. Judge Turner
ruled in effect that a newspaper
mans confidence is inviolable.
John Killilea, who had caused a
reporter to come into circuit court,
requested the court TO require a re-
porter on oath to reveal the
names of the persons from whom
he had obtained information which
was used in a news article. Killilea
said the publication of the article
during the pendency of the case
tended to prejudice the jury and that
statements made in the review of the
history of the condemnation pro-
ceedings were incorrect and evidently
supplied to the reporter by persons
interested in the case.
Judge Turner decided that he had
no power to require the reporter to
be sworn or examined unless the re-
porter volunteered.

ARCHDEACONRY MEETING
chard Monday and Tuesday
Program of High Order.

The autumn meeting of the Arch
deaconry of Scranton was held Mon
day and Tuesday, Oct 2lst- and 22d,
in White Mills and Indian Orchard.
They were entertained by the people
of the missions of Grace church,
Honesdale, in those places, except
for the Bishop and DR.. Jones of st.
Stephens church, Wilkes-Barre,
who to take an early train Tuesday
morning, were the guests Monday
night of j. w. Lambert and the Rev.
A. l.. Whitaker respectively. The
entertainment of so many in Indian
Orchard and White Mills was made
possible only by the generously
granted use of automobiles all own
ed in White Mills. A supper was
served at Harry DeReamer's in
White Mills Monday evening by the
Episcopal Guild OF that place for the
guests who had arrived on the 1888
Erie train or had been conveyed by
auto from the 3:15 d. & H. train at
Honesdale. This and the two meals
served in the basement of Christ
church, Indian Orchard the next day
| by the Ladies Guild of Christ church
were highly praised as among the
| best ever served at ArChdeaconry
meetings. The total number present
was over twenty. The most distant
! places represented in the Diocese
were South Bethlehem, Easton and
! Pottsville. But a former member of
| the Archdeaconry, the Rev. w. H.
| Decker of Empire in the Panama
Canal Zone, on vacation in the
| country for a few weeks, was easily
able to claim the longest distance
travelled. The others from outside
! the Archdeaconry of Scranton were
the Rev. Howard Diller OF Potts
Vile, and the Rev d. A. Rocca OF
Easton, who were speakers, and the
Rev. Francis NJ. Wetherill, who as
Warden of Leonard Hall, South Beth
lehem, is eX-ofiicio included in the
invitation list.
The program, which follows, was
OF high order of merit. There
were large congregations both at the
| Methodist church where the Mon
day evening service was held, and at
Christ church on Tuesday evening,
the church in both cases being COM
fortably filled. The review of Bouck
Whites The Call of the Carpen-
ter" was spirited and well done. The
Rev. Mr.. Decker gave an extremely
Illuminating description OF the me-
]
| Canal project, of the Panamanians,
negroes and other people of the zone
and of the missionary work there.
The need for this latter will soon be
very much less than at present, for
the canal will be finished and the
laborers will have gone back to their
homes in the West Indies and else
where. The greater part of the mis-
sionary work of the Episcopal
church in the zone has been in pro-
viding for the spiritual needs of the
negroes who have been reared in the
Church of England in the island OF
Jamaica.
The sermon at the service, in the
morning, which was preached by the
Rev. Ernest w. Wood of Montrose,
was a unique and thoughtful one.
The theme was What God Cannot
= Do" From every nature of God 1t
is impossible for Him to do some OF
the things which man with his infer
ior nature seems to find 1t possible
to do.
At the communion service several
gifts to Christ church were conse-
Grated, font, brass cross, a silver
} communion service and silver aims
basin.

COURTESY BRINGS ITS REWARD
Conductor Charles Lord ACcOmmo-
dates Business Manager Which
Results in Getting Large
Shipment of Freight
for the Erie.

The following clipping taken
from the Erie Railroads Magazine
gives an interesting account of what
courtesy did for passenger travel
ing upon the Erie Railroad. The
party extending the courtesy was
Charles Lord, of this place, the pop
ular and genial conductor on the
Honesdale branch of the Wyoming
division of the Erie road. The arti-
Gle reads:
Erie Courtesy Rewarded"
That conductors and trainmen, by
acts of kindness and courtesy to the
travelling public, secure for this Com
pany many shipments of freight
from competing lines, is again prov
en- in the following instance which
occurred recently.
The business manager of a large
manufacturing concern in Brooklyn,
with main office in Philadelphia, had
occasion to go to Honesdale recently,
and on his returning to New York,
Sunday morning, could not make
connections, necessitating a wait OF
about hours at LackawaXen. Con-
ductor Lord of the Honesdale branch
consented to try and have Train 4
stop for him, which was done.
He felt that, II Erie employees in
terested themselves in his welfare to
that extent, he would do what he
could for the Erie, and accordingly
wrote his firm in Philadelphia for
permission to route their shipments
over our lines, which was granted.
This firms business is OF consider
able Importance, shipments going to
many points in the West,
