Simon Long's Sons Will Be Hosts at Honeysuckle Inn To-night to Employees Old in years, young in spirit, the business house of Long's Sons will to-night, on the occasion of Its eightieth anniversary, be host to a hundred employees and friends who will gather to help celebrate the happy occasion at a dinner and dance to be given at Harry A.

Cassedy's Honeysuckle Inn, Lehman. The early days of this venerable Wilkes-Barre business house will be tho pleasant subject of many toast responses to-night. Few are the business houses In this city, or In northeastern Pennsylvania, that can boast of having been the early business associates of this pioneering Clothing establishment. Few flrmB can trace their existence back to the late fall days of 1847 when yimon lxng was establishing bis fashionable clothing store and selling beaver hats, colored vests and brass buttoned frock coats to the men of fashion of the day. Hotly waged political campaigns, the Mexican War, Douglas-Lincoln debates, the Civil War and the earlv mining of anthracite coal were all parts of the early envlroment in which the Simon Long's Sons' store grew up.

Always with the vision and fore sight of the founder, Simon Long's Sons have managed to keep a step ahead of the growth of the com-nunity In general. The store that has developed into one of the leading establishments of Its kind in Pennsylvania carries the spirit of the founder through his sons. Curd of Thnnfca Mrs. Jennie Cunnlnirham wishes to thank all those who assisted in he.r recent bereavement and also those who sent flowers. In Memorlao, In loving memory of our dear son.

Robert J. C. Miller, who died one year ago to-day, Nov. 9. 192G.

More, and more each day we miss him. Friends may think the wound Is healed. Rut they little know the sorrow That lies within our hearts coi-eealed. His memory Is as dear tcXday As In the hour he passed away. Sadly missed by hi? father, mother and grandfather.

Forlorn DINNER Reports Made at Meeting of Directors Show Month of October Busy One Wist Side Visiting Nurse Association directors, meeting esterday afternoon in their headquarters, received reports of activities during the last month and thanked physicians, nurses and others who assisted in the recent toxin antitoxin campaign in which 1,958 West Side children were inoculated against diphtheria. During last month Gl" babies were weighed and examined and fifty-seven new children were registered, bringing the total number under care ut the present time to 9S3. Twenty-eight clinics, with physicians and trained nurses attending each, were held during the month and many follow-up home visits were made by nurses. In West Side schools during the month 1,556 children were examined and S48 home visits made to families of youngsters whose conditions warranted special treatment. A home hygiene course was started during the month in Kingston Uofbugh schools with an association nurse instructing pupils in care of sick.

Because of the popularity of the course It was necessary to hold six of these classes. Association nurses made visits to 354 patients. Agencies Cooperate Reports of two cases were rtad, the first to show general type of service rendered dally by the as sociation and the second proving how closely the various agencies of the Community Welfare federation are able to cooperate avoiding duplication of service. The first case dealt with the problem presented by a pair of newly-born twins, at whose birth a visiting nurse was in attendance. The mother was carefully Instructed concerning their care, but when they failed to thrive in a normal way, the nurse, with consent of the attending physician, supplemented their feeding with the formula used at the baby stations.

At the age of throe months, the Infants, who were just beginning to take an active Interest In life, developed whooping cough, which again caused a set-back and necessitated more care on the part of the nurse. The family lived too far away from the nearest baby station for the mother to visit It with her little ones and the nurse made sixty-nine visits to this one family before a happy pair of babies, who owed their present state of health to her watchful care, could be dis charged from the books. Th second case was unearthed by one of the school nurses when she found four children out of seven In one family suffering from badly dls eased tonsils. Following this up In the usual manner, she visited the home, where she found the mother suffering from such a severe goitre condition that she was unable to perform Jier household duties. Hob pital care was suggested and husband nd wife consented that the wife Could go, If some arrangement be made to care for the children and no additional expense Incurred.

This was arranged by leaving the three oldest children at home under super vision of the nurse; giving the youngest child to a kind neighbor to be cared for and placing tho other three children In the care of the United Charities, who sent them to an excellent boarding home. To-day the mother has been dis charged from the General Hospital, cured of her ailments and In fine condition: the home Is together once again and the four who were In need of tonsil operations have had this done and are rapidly gaining weight. This Is an examnle of how the vlslt- ng nurses, the General Hospital and he United Charities, all three mem bers of the Communltv Welfare Federation, worked together to re habilitate one family.
