First she had pains across back, then in her shoulders, arms, elbows and hands, and finally her knees and ankles became affected and also her heels and toes. She was obliged to use a cane to hobble around. That settled all thoughts of a vacation for her. She began to doctor, use medl- MOTHER!

The yield of oysters for 1912 was 32,988,815 bushels, an av erage of a third of a bushel for every man, woman and child ln the coun try. Every restaurant, however hum ble or wherever situated, as well as every great hotel, is expected during H l ,® season to have oysters on tho bill of fare. In olden times the epi cures of Athens and other cities close Z ocean had an abundance of shellfish such as we use, and enjoyed them very much. But to the Jews this kind of food was borbidden by their law, which allowing certain kinds of fish, rejected much sea food including the oyster, which was prob ably but little known to the ancients And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you." (Deut. 14:10 ) Christian Herald. ANCIENT AND MODERN CANCEK CURES It Is evident that medical science, in its determination to master dis ease, has found in radium a power ful weapon against cancer, and the call upon the government to retain its radium fields in tho West, and the proposition of distinguished physi cians to aid the ""jovernment in a plan to chearvn the substance and universalize its treatment is beau tiful in the extreme. Hezekiah, king of Judah, who lived 700 years B. C., had a growth on his body, which may well have been a cancer, called ln the record a boll. It was divine power that wrought the cure, but a material instrument was used in the poultice the primitive remedy. "And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid It on the boll, and he recovered." (II Kings 20:7.) Chri stian Herald. RAILROAD NIGHT Railroad night will be observed at the evangelistic services by the Rev.

PROPERTY HERS WILL HIIY FIGHT INTO COURTS Those Affected by Full Width Paving Decision in Front Street Protest COWDEN HAS A WEARY DAY City Will Save $20,000; Solici tor Seitz's Opinion Is Sustained The question of whether the city may charge property owners abutting on Front street between Maclay and Division streets, the cost of paving the full width of the highway will be taken into the courts. Announcement to this effect was made to-day by Attorney Horace A. Segelbaum, one of the protesting land owners, following a brief hearing be fore City Engineer M. B. Cowden and a conference with City Solicitor Seitz. "What we're going to insist upon," said Mr. Segelbaum, "is that we're j only liable for the payment of the cost of paving to the middle of the street What our plans will be I'm not at liberty to say at present. But we're going to fight it." The amount involved, so far as the city is concerned, Is close to $20,000, provided the property owners cannot be compelled to pay for the full width of the street. Knglneer Hears Appeals Prom 9 o'clock until noon to-day the City Engineer heard appeals from the assessments of the Front street property owners along with those of a few other highways. There were no appeals on the latter. The city contends that it has the right to assess abutting property own ers for the cost of paving from curb to curb, because the street was opened from the eastern curb to low water mark. The property owners declare ;they are exempted for all but half the I cost in view of President Judge Kun kel's recent decision In the Whitehall street case. There the court said the abutting property owners were liable for only half the cost because the land on the other side was city and public property and accordingly "non assessable." Those Who Appealed Among those who appealed- to-day were ex-ayor E. Z. Gross, Herman Hahn for Bessie Halin; Frank Mar tin, representing the McCormick es tate; C. W. Fisher, ex-Highway Com missioner E. E. Frltcliey, who repre sented his sister Geneva Fritchey; W. L. Keller and Horace Segelbaum. Under the charges fixed by the city, the property owners are liable for the cost of 15,139.98 square yards at $1.89, or $28,614.56; nonassessable, 864.21 yards, or $1,633.36; intersections, etc., 1,426.41 yards, of $2,695.91; curbing, city's share, $478.87: curbing proper tyholders' share, $8,905.78; a total due the Central Construction and Supply Company, the contractor, of $41,- 518.48. If the city loses out in its conten tion, the property owners will have to pay only half of the bill for pav ing and curbing, or $14,307.28 for the paving and $4,247.30 for the curbing. Common Towel and Cup at Tech Must Go State Commissioner of Health Sam uel G. Dixon to-day informed Dr. F. E. Downes, superintendent of the city schools, that the Technical High School had not been provided with in dividual towels or individual drinking cups as required by State health rules. He directed that the matter be attended to immediately. Dr. Downes stated that steps were being' taken to make the equipment at the school comply with the regula tions, and in view of that fact, Dr. Dixon said that he would not take any further action. The Commissioner personally called the attention of the Harrisburg school authorities to the matter. MOTORCYCLE NOTES Just four and one-half days is the time It took J.

POLICEMEN OF Gin WORRIED OVER CIVIL SERVICE POSSIBILITY Many Patrolmen Fear They Know Too Little of Municipal Lore and Ordinances INTELLIGENCE TO BE FACTOR Reporting of Vice and Gambling Will Be Items in Rating of Man Anxiety as to whether they will hold their Jobs after March 1 is not the only thing keeping members of Harrlsburg's police force wide-awake these vexing days. There is consider able concern as to the resuit of Mayor Royal's recommendation for a civil service system in the Police Depart ment. Not a few patrolmen fear that if a civil service ordinance is passed the examinations will be too rigid to pass. To date nothing has been Intimated as to what form of application would be necessary under civil service rules, or regarding the examinations, but if the same system is followed In Har risburg as in other cities, a patrolman would have to show up strong In knowledge of many things concerning the city. In the first place, according to Col onel Joseph B. Hutchison, Chief of Police, if civil service is inaugurated, every man will probably be obliged to make out an application, stating his age and former occupation, give a his tory of his past life for some years back, show a good physical condition, present an attractive appearance, and accompany the application with a photograph of himself. The examinations,lf the applicant Is looked upon as a promising officer, will be quite rigid.
