SOCIETY WOMIEN'S HAIR.
A Simple Treatment That Will Make
1t Truly Fascinating. Peil, the
Druggist, Guarantees 1t.

Nowadays every up-to-date woman
has radiant hair.
What foolish creature a woman
would be if she lost the opportunity
to add to her attractions.
Yet in America to-day there are
hundreds of thousands of women
with harsh, faded characterless hair
who do not make any attempt to i'm
prove it.
In Paris most women have beauti-
full hair, and in America all women
who use Partisan Sage have lustrous
and luXuriant hair.
And any woman reader Of The
Citizen can have attractive and lustr-
GUS hair in few days time by using
this great hair rejuvenator, Partisan
Sage.
Peil, the druggist, sells a large
bottle for SO cents and guarantees
it to Danish dandruff, stop falling
hair and itching scalp in two weeks
or money back.
Partisan Sage is an ideal hair
tonic, not sticky or greasy. Sold by
druggists in every town in America.

A CARD TO CITIZENS.

Do not confound the North Of Bay
Counties Exhibit Cars with any other
exhibit cars that have ever visited
the city.
We are not selling land, neither are
we advertising for railroads.
We are sent out by the twelve
boards Of trade, made up of the busi-
ness men and ranchmen to promote
immigration to our particular section
OF California, and show the products
which we raise without irrigation.
We are here to show you what is
being done daily in the land of sun
shine, fruits and flowers, where the
harvest starts on New Years day and
ends on New Years eve.
The inducements we offer in our
part of California In climate, soil and
opportunities are unsurpassed in any
other section of the west.
Our expenses are heavy. We pay
for everything as we go, and we find
1t necessary to make a small admis-
sion charge, as do all worlds fairs, to
help defray expenses.
The two cars are filled with grand
array of fruits and vegetables, curios
and relics from all over the world,
including the largest shark ever cap
tured, all going to make up what
might be termed little worlds fair
on wheels, and the most instructive
exhibit that has ever paid your city
visit.

MYSTERIOUS PRODUCT
OF THE Deep SEA
The Lucky or UnIuCky Sea Bean,
Which Is It?

Many newspapers have published
stories pro and con of this mysteri-
GUS product of the deep. How one
thrown in the midst of band Of can
nibals.
The Butler Times of March 21 tells
of how Jim Tuner, a we'll driller,
had been playing in hard luck for
six months, losing his tools and strik-
Ing dusty holes, paid the California
cars visit and received a Sea Bean
as a souvenir, and 10 days later
struck a gusher.
The Genesee Times Of March 16
! declares that q Sea Bean saved
Harry Easton from serious injur'e
In that he fell from his barn loft and
landed on the ground fright side up

A maiden lady stenographer Of a
few summers and several winters re-
ceived a Sea Bean and 80 days later
married her employer. This happened
in Ohio, but now comes one from In
diana: Two sisters, both single and
Just old enough to be termed old
maids. The younger Of the two had
Sea Bean, and the elder started on
man hunt, and finally eloped with
her younger sisters beau. Within
! two weeks he was arrested on the
charge of bigamy. Whom did this
Bean bring luck to?
The editor of The Elkland Journal
read so much Of the Sea Bean that
he asked for one. He started for his
office and on the street he met a
man and an argument arose over
some trivial matter. He returned to
the manager of the cars saying,
This Bean Is unlucky. Just had
an argument with a man most twice

the manager. The editor replied, "No,
but almost" Keep your Bean, Mr..

ERIK BROTHERS.
A Few Honest Pointers
In Regard to Paint.


When you go into store and ask
for paint don't be misled if the pro-
prietor or the clerk begins to sell you
paint by weight. Don't be fooled be-
cause the greatest weight does not
always mean the greatest value, for
instance, green and dark colored
paint do not carry as much white
lead, as white and light colored
paints. therefore, If your dealer
weighs up a gallon of his competi-
tors paint, say green or some dark
colored paint, surely it will not weigh
as much as a gallon of his white
paint. Then again there is way of
making gallon Of paint weigh
heavy without much cost, but we
hope no dealer in Honesdale sells
this kind; paint that is adulterated
with Barytes, which costs about 500
per ton while pure white lead is
worth about $3.50 per ton, but the
Barytes has very little if any cover
ing capacity, although it is heavy and
very white. These are only a few
facts that everybody should know. If
you want an absolutely guaranteed
paint-a paint that one gallon will
cover 800 square feet, two coats
and paint that will be cheap in the
long run, you will surely make no
mistake if you buy DEVOE. Erik

IT WOULD SEEM THAT CHARITY WAS A LITTLE
SLOW IN ACTING IN THIS CASE

Perhaps in her slow, startled brain
she pondered over the difference be-
tween God who lets a superabun-
dance of everything spring from the
ground, and man who would rather
destroy than Clover the prices" Per-
haps she didn't reason at all.
At any rate, she had nothing to
eat for week, and then she very
mercifully died. She weighed IS
pounds at the time of her demise.
And organized charity, supposed to
go into the highways and the by
ways to hunt out distress and succor
it, will plead that it Ibid not know"
but it will now start to investigate
and perhaps SAVE THE DEAD WO-
MAN FROM A PAUPER'S GRAVE.
1t will be interesting to know if
charity will save the three children
from DYING OF STARVATION. For
the roses we spread DER the graves
of the dead don't count at al-it's
the roses we give the living.

y
walton.
There isn't anything very strange
in that. We often hear of people who
die that way in Chicago, the hot-bed
of organized charity that solicits
thousands each year to relieve" suf-
fering.
We even heard of young girls kill
ing themselves because of semi
starvation, and there isn't any pub
lie clamor, nor does "organized"
charity seem at all exercised.
But the tragedy in this case is turn
ed into farce by the statement that
charity will not investigate and save
the woman from being buried in a
pauper's grave. >
Mrs. Hrach was As years old, the
mother of three children, and unable
to work. She wasn't strong. She was
troubled quite little with shortness
of breath that the doctors think now
was due to consumption, or may
have been due to lack of nutrition.
Mrs. Hrach used to haunt the
South water street QlSCrlcC ana PICK
up cast-off potatoes and vegetables.
The picking was light. Most of it she
gave to her children.
On Saturdays, with crowd of 9TH
er starving foreigners, she would
stand at the city dump and try to
surTeptitiously get some of the vege-
tables and fruit before the garbage
men poured kerosene and acid over
carloads that had not been sold.
1t would seem, in the interest of
humanity, that such fruit and vege-
table could be sold to the poor at
very nominal figure and sometimes
given away. But that would cut
down prices, and so it wasn't pos
sible.
Mrs. Hrach's hunger and the hun
ger of her three little children made
her little more bold than the rest
