Violet Light Destroy. Germs.

The mercury vapor lamp is claimed
by Herr Otto Haase to be as effec.
tive as a sterilizer of underclothing
as in treating water. The ultra
violet rays produce ozone, and this
destroys all disease germs without
injuriously affecting the textile mate
rails In any way. In the experiments
made, not less than thirteen Of the
most viru1ent disease bacilli were
present, all Of them being totally de.
stroyed by exposure to the light rays

SANITY IN EXERCISE.

Exercise is something that is to
be enjoyed, not taken as a duty.
The business man tired out by a
days work at his desk, carries his
weariness to the point of exhaustion
by rushing through twenty minutes
of gymnasium work, when if he had
walked a few blocks to his office in
stead of having used the trolley car,
he would be in much better health.
Gymnasium work and setting-up ex-
ercises in the morning are in many
cases good as stimulants, but they
cannot be compared in beneficial re-
suits with a brisk walk or a game
of gold, or few minutes swim.
There are few exercises that are
as good as walking. One, two or
three hours on Sundays and holidays
spent in this way rest the nervous
system and act as a splendid tonic.
Walk to and from work. Walk
briskly, for a brisk walk means ex-
ercise for the heart and lungs as we'll
as for the muscles. The act of going
up stairs is a vigorous exercise, es-
pecially for the heart, and when
done with trunk erect, chest expand
ed and flexible play of the foot is
excellent. +s-

A PROCLAMATION.

At the request of the Honesdale
Improvement Association, Burgess
c. A. McCarty has issued the follow
ing proclamation:
The cleanliness of our town has
been considered so important to the
health and well being of all those
residing therein, that a custom has
within recent years grown up Of
designating week, to be known as
"Clean Up Week" during which time
every resident is supposed to devote
sufficient time to the work of clean
ing his own premises, and all others
over which he may have control,
that nothing may be left undone in
the way of cleanliness. This general
cleaning should include not only the
portions of the town which may be
seen by the casual observer but those
remote corners and recesses in which
disease and death so often lurk.
Now, therefore, in accordance with
the custom established, l designate
and appint the week commencing on

such a tremendous scale 1t was the
Messrs. Aborn's idea to give to
American theatregoers, when they
prepared this production, the great
est representation of Balfe's splen-
did opera ever offered, and in realiz-
ing this they have spared nothing in
the way of expenditure and effect,
with the result, so it is reported,
that it has enjoyed a most substan-
tial success, even since it's initial
presentation last season. OF this
production it is said that it is an
extraordinary combination of the
most popular of old English operas,
rich with melodies that are known
wherever music is known, beautiful
choruses and alluring dances, and
great modern stage spectacle
With commendable enterprise the
Messrs Aborn have striven to i'm
prove on their last seasons produc-
ton, and have engaged a cast of un-
usual brilliancy most prominent in
which is Helena Morrill,, as ar
line" Nella Brown as the Gypsy
Queen, George Tallman as "Thad-
deus" Wilmot G. Goodwin as Count
Arnheim, Detmar H. Poppin as
"Devilshoof," and Stephen Stott as
Count Alorestein."

chorus, cores de ballet, special per-
formers, etc., representing a COM

in conjunction with a scenic dress,

WONDERFUL CAPTURE.
Exciting Time In Monterey Bay-Fas,
Salling-Monster Shark Captured.

Yesterday as Captain Emanuel Fe.
ress of the fishing smack Garibaldi
was about to tack and sail for port
he had an adventure with a monster
shark that the crew will long remem-
Der. They had turned toward shore
when a commotion commenced in the
water, and instantly the ropes holding
the net tightened and the smack start.
ed off at rapid gait, the waves wash
ing over the deck. The crew were
thoroughly frightened and wanted to
cool and ordered them to stand ready
for whatever it was that had hold
Of them, and for half an hour no one
knew what was going to happen.
They could see nothing, but they were
going away, and some invisible power
had hold of the boat. Then a big
black object came suddenly to the
top, jumping clear out Of the water,
trying to loosen himself, then started
for the shore, and soon had run into
the bar, and the tide left aim high
and dry, and they could then see what
1t was that had nearly scared the life
out of them. a monster shark measur
ing 36 feet, the largest anyone on this
coast had ever seen.
Thousands have visited It, and to-
morrow morning a tug belonging to
the American Fishing company, own
ers of the smack, will tow the mon
ster to San Francisco, intending to
have it neutralized and placed on ex.
hibition.-Monterey Herald, April 20,

WILSON TO SEE O'GORMAN.
Will Consider Port Colleotorship and
May Consider Senator's Candidates.


May Consider Senator's Candidates.
Washington, April 2S.-Evidence that
President Wilson does not intend to
ride roughshod over Senator James A.
O'Gorman in the appointment of col
lector of customs for the port of New
York was furnished when it became
known that the president and the New
York senator are to have conference
tomorrow in regard to this matter.
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
still insists on the appointment of his
candidate, Frank Lyon Polk, but the
omission of the president to send the
nomination of Mr.. Polk to the senate
has encouraged friends of Mr.. O'Gor-
man to believe that the names of the
men mentioned by him to the presi-
dent as having the requisite standing
and ability to fill the office of collector
will receive further consideration by
President Wilson before he determines
definitely on choice.
This encouragement has been aug
mented by the fact that several ses-
sions of the senate have intervened
since President Wilson indicated his
intention to appoint Mr.. Polk.

Messrs. Jones and Adams Point Out
What the Countrymen Need.
The House appropriations commit
tee has referred to the subcommit-
tee in charge of the framing of the
general appropriation act, the Jones
bill creating a system for township
road improvement under direction of
a proposed bureau of township high
ways, in the Highway Department.
This was done for the purpose of
having the committee incorporate in
the bill an appropriation to care for
State aid of township roads. The
bill carries $9,000,000, and it is
hoped to raise it by certain bills rel
ative to corporate taxation, although
just how has not been determined.
The measure will be reported to the
House affirmatively within few
days.
Edward E. Jones, chairman of the
roads committee, of the House, au-
thor of the bill, explained it's pro-
visions, pointing out that it was
modelled on plans in vogue in New
York and other States and asked
that the committee establish the
policy of Safe aid for township roads
in the making up of the items for
the Highway Department in the gen.
eral appropriation.
James L. Adams, of Allegheny, a
former Senator and Representative,
also spoke in favor of the measure
and remarked that if the township
roads could be Systematically i'm
proved under State direction, they
would lessen travel and consequent
wear and tear on State highways.
