MRS. MABEL W. CusH-HowAßD,wifeofCounty Treasurer Chas. J. Howard,and daughter ofEdward and KathrynCusb, died at the hospital at Williams-port on Wednesday morning, August24th. Mrs. Howard was born at Sizer-villtt, July 6th, 1876 and received hereducation at that place, later she at-tenciod the High School at Eldred, fromwhich place she graduated at the ageof fifteen j«ars. She taught school oneyear .it Wharton, Potter county andtiuj-i taught three consecutive terms atHizerviile and later taught the gram-mar school at this place for four years,prior to her marriage. In May 1899she became the wife of Mr. Chas. J.Howard and to this union fourchildrenwere born, the eldest being ten yearsof age and the youngest is but fouryears old. On Saturday August 20th,Mrs. Howard was stricken with ap-pendicitis and the following Tuesdayshe was removed to the hospital atWilliamsport, where an operation wasperformed immediately, but to noavail and death came to relieve hersufferings early the followingmorning.She was accompanied to the hospitalby Mr. and Mrs. John T.

Mrs.Howard's friends were legion and hersadden death is keenly felt and herearly demise is a severe loss to herlittle children, who are now at an agewhen they most need a mother's loveand care. Her aged parents arestricken with grief and all the familyare bowed down with their greatsorrow.

The death of this pleasant youngwoman was iodeed a terrible shock toher afflicted family and friends. Thishappy, jovial girl as we knew herwhen she was only a child, was a de-voted wife, fond mother and seemedhappy to be surrounded by her child-ren and husband.

We unite with thefriends of the family in tendering ourheartfelt sympathy to the bereavedhusband and children.

Old Emporiumites in the West.We received a letter on Monday

from F. A. Hill, at Seattle, Wash.,signed by the following old Emporiumfriends who were stopping with Edw.Dion, proprietor of"The KentuckyBar: J. W. Kay, Ludger Dion, RoyBurlew, F. A Hill, A. D. McDonell,James L. Norrie and Edward Dion.Our above friends are located in dif-ferent sections of the west, but met atMr. Dion's The letter says that the"whole state of Washington is goingdry." We imagine that the partywere enjoying themselves.

Good Appointment.

Prof. D. B. Peterson, who has beenteaching school at Cameron for thepast three years, has received the ap-pointment as principal of the townshipschools near Kane, Pa. On SaturdayProf. Peterson informed the PRESSthat he was going to Kane to look overthe ground, preparatory to getting theterm started. His family will remainat Cameron for this year at least. Wecongratulate the genial Professor onhis success and hope that everythingwill turn oat all right, as be is a teach-er ofability.

Dairy Products as Food.The products of the dairy are per-

haps the most useful articles includedin the human diet. A meal made upof dishes into which no product of thedairy cow enters would not be such asto inspire "the turnpike road to peo-ple's hearts I find lies through theirmouths, or Imistake mankind." Takeaway the butter for the bread, thecream for the coffee and the porridge,the shortening in the crust and thebiscuits, the in the gravy and in thepuddings, the cream for the dessertand the various kiuds of cheese whichplease and satisfy, then take away thecup of milk for the little one and themeal that would be left would be nei-ther tempting nor nutritious.

The health of our people dependsso much upon an adequate supply ofpure dairy products that even a scar-city is always attended by sufferingand death.

Butter is sometimes referred to as a

luxury. This is a mistake. Butter isnot a luxury but one of the necessitiesof life, and its composition is such thatnothing can take its place and per-form the same function. It is nature'sproduct compounded in the maternalorganism and the process is in accor-dance with nature's law, a law whichman can imitate but cannot under-stand. Man can manufacture fromvarious fats and oils a substitute forbutter but it cannot take the place ofnature's product because man cannotunderstand the needs of the humanbody as nature understands them.

The animal body is developed bestwhen nourished by foods which havebeen little manipulated by man andmachinery. Dairy products are, as arule, consumed nearly as pasture pro-duced them. This is particularly truewith milk upon which the growingbody must depend. In the case of but-ter only a small percentage of otherproducts are added to the fat extract-ed from the milk. Man only manipu-lates it in order to put it in convenientshape for use. It can still be termed aproduct of nature designed as onlynatnre can design for use as food bythe human body.

"Mrs. Mary Creighton, for years oneof the very highly respected residentsof Ridgway, passed peacefully away ather home at 201 South Main streetshortly before seven o'clock last even-ing. A serious attack of heart troublehastened the end, although she hasbeen afflicted for some time with a

complication of diseases, brought onpartly by her advanced age.

Deceased has been confined to thebed the greater part of the presentsummer, suffering with various ills.Her condition, however was neverregarded as exactly dangerous dur-ing all that time, until the failure ofher heart last evening gave a warningot the inevitable, but all too late.

She was married toJohn Creighton who died in 1894 andever since that time Mrs. Creightonhas resided in this city.

Another Misleading Statement.So much has been said relative to

the expenses connected with Broadstreet paving and so many false reportsissued, or rather circulated, calculatedto deceive the tax-payers, that we pub-lished in the PRESS recently a state-ment of the Borough financial condi-tion on July 16th, 1910, over the signa-ture of Mr. E. D. White, our efficientand capable Borough Treasurer, whocertainly had the proper data at handto verify his statement. The Burgess,or even any tax-payer could secure thestatement just as readily as THE PRESS.This report was issued July 16, 1910,there being of course the August billsto add to the disbursements, all workunder construction having been com-pleted as ordered or contracted for bythe Borough.

We notice in last week's East Em-porium Independent an open letterfrom Burgess Marshall, wherein he in-dulges in some more misrepresenta-tions. In the first place he asks if weintend to pay the borough expensesand pave Fourth street from the 1910tax budget. Our answer: Is the costof Broad street paving taken from the1910 tax? Certainly not?any school

boy should know better! It is the de-sire of, and intention, of the BoroughCouncil to place all bonds, for improve-ments and the up-building of Empori-um, for a long term of years, at a lowrate of interest. Mr. Burgess againdisputes the genuineness ofMr. White'sstatement, issued July 16,1910, over amonth ago, because the figures do notlie. The tax-payers fully understandthe fact that two-thirds of the cost ofpaving Broad Street is repaid by theabutting property owners into theBorough treasury. In case Fourthstreet, or any portion of it, should bepaved this year, or at any future time,the tax payers-at-large would be taxedfor one-third the cost.

"What think you, Mr. Tax-payer?"Are we to continue hauling mud, cind-ers, dirt and other matter to fill up ourroads or crossings, only to repeat thewaste of money year after year? Weare emphatically in favor of pavingevery foot ofFourth street from Junc-tion to Iron Bridge, near WoodlandAvenue; to be decided by popular voteand the Borough bonded for thirtyyears, which would cost each tax-payer about two cents on a dollar ofvaluation, each year. "What thinkyou, Mr. Tax-payer."

Wild People That Live on Milkand Blood.

In the South country of Afrioa thereis a naked race of savages that livessolely on blood and milk mixed. J.Alden Loring, one of the naturalistswho accompanied the ex-president,describes these people and theirhabits in bis illustrated lecture"Through Africa with Roosevelt."Emporium Opera House, Saturdayevening, Sept. 10.

Youthful Westons.Last Sunday, four of Emporium's

young hopefuls started for a long walkwhich resulted in a jaunt of about fif-teen miles. They started from EastEmporium and tramped the pipe lineto Hunts Rnn; thence to Cameron andagain to Emporium, having made thetrip in a little over four hours. Thewalkers were Messrs Fred Metzger,George Pipor, Riley Murray and WillSpence. They are contemplating an-other trip in the near future.
