WILL AND HEREDITY
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
t Once upon a time I
|I put an idea as old
jas Qod, and as large
as the universe, into
simple and compact
form for the benefit
of the ordinary
mind, just as a
homeopathist puts
Strom? medicines
Into small pills for
the benefit of those
who cannot, or will
not, assimilate big
doses of drugs. Here
is my poetical pill:

Dut from the tomb crept Vice with
hideous leer.
1 am Heredity," he cried, "whom all
men fear!
; sleep, but die not. When fate calls .
I come.
fcnd generations at my touch suc
cumb."
V lofty shape rose sudden in his path,
t cried, "You lie!" and struck at him
In wrath.
leredity, the braggart, stark and still,
'ell prostrate at the feet of Mighty
Will.
Now comes a protest from a physl
lan. He says:
"I write you because I believe your

sm to the grand idea of an omniscient j
ind omnipotent Creator, and more-!
iver, because I believe that Its unlver- j
al acceptance would lead to untold,
suffering, disease and death. This!
nuch science teaches me."

Tf> harrow the world with sin and
pain.
Or bless it with noble minds and
hearts like oak.
I have know scores of human beings
who were yoked like cattle to their
load of belief in the hopelessness of
their inheritance, and who "died as the
fool dieth," either physically or mor
ally, because they EXPECTED to.
I know a woman to-day who be
lieves she "inherited" consumption
through two generations of ancestors,
and who is faithfully inviting it to
make her the third victim.
But there are others, whom it is a
greater inspiration to know.
One is a robust woman of GO, the
only survivor of a family of consump
tives. At 16 she was declared to be in
the grasp of the disease. One day she
fell to thinking, and God "illuminated"
her mind with a great truth.
She said to herself:
"If 1 inherit bodily disease from
my parents, do I not inherit divine
health from God? He made my soul,
and He must wish me to be well! I
will be."
She began to breathe. Until this
time she had used only a few cells
of her lungs—afraid of the fresh air
because she "inherited'' weak lungs.
Then she practiced gentle calis
thenics and increased the exercises
gradually. She took no medicines be
cause she had all her life taken them
to no avail. She believed In her di
vine right to health, and she obtained
robust health.
No matter what we do not know of
God and the beginning, this we do
know—that some Intelligence greater
than the mind of man conceived and
executed this tremendous and glorious
scheme of worlds.
It Overcomes All Disease
Every part of the universe Is a part
of that cause.
Every star has a purpose; every hu
man life has a purpose.
The star knows and obeys; man
ignores and rebels.
But once let him know and obey and
TWO DIE IX SHORT TIME
Special to The Telegraph
Dallastown, Pa., May 12.—Yester
day the second death in the family of
| George and Ida Finney within two
weeks occurred. The first was that of
j Ellen, a 15-year-old daughter, of tu
berculosis of only a few months dura-
I tion, and the second that of Malvin,
a 6-year-old son. The latter was af
j t'ected with a bealing in the head,
[which started about a week ago. t Ab-
Isence from home of the father has
made the strain a severe one on the
| mother, who has been helped by rela
j tives and friends.
RANK STOCK SELLS HIGH
Special to The Telegraph
I Dillsburg, Pa., May 12. —At the last
| regular meeting of the directors of
the Dillsburg National Bank a semi
annual dividend of 3\k per cent, was
declared on the capital stock. This
bank is the oldest financial institution
in Dillsburg and has a capital stock
of $60,000 and a surplus of over one
half of this amount. The stock of
this bank, par value of which is SIOO
per share, has sold recently l'or $l6O
per share.
realize his higher heredity and live up
to It, and he becomes a part of om
nipotence.
He is a crown prince thereafter and
helps direct his own destiny.
In spite of the protest of my corre
spondent, I do not think this belie* is
pernicious, or that Its acceptance can
lead to "disease and death." Quite
the contrary. I know that it over
comes disease, poverty and misery
when It is persisted In.
As for death, that Is only a part
of eternal life, and we do not want to
overcome it.
Therefore doctors and medicines
have their place in the world. Men
will need physicians until they learn
their true relation to nature. Then
they will know how to heal them
selves.
It is a beautiful thing to die, but it
is a terrible thing to be sick, poor and
miserable while you live.
Let man learn that he is heir to
health, happiness and plenty.
They are his. They belong to every
one of us. Let every soul whose eye
scans these lines believe he is to be
well, happy and prosperous, because
it is his right. Expect it and work
for It. It will be done through you,
not for you.
Is a Divine Inheritance
The woman who cured consumption
breathed and exercised while she de
clared health was her divine inherit
ance.
There is no noble height thou canst
not climb;
All triumphs may be thine in Time's
futurity
If, whatso'er thy fault, thou dost not
faint or halt,
But lean upon the staff of God's
security.
Earth has no claim the soul cannot
contest;
Know thyself part of that Eternal
Source,
And naught can stand before they
spirit's force—
The soul's divine Inheritance is best.

GASTUBE EXPLODES
AT EAGLES'HOME
Damage to Extent of SI,OOO Done
to New Building at
Carlisle
Special to The Telegraph
Carlisle, Pa., May 11.—An explosion
of a tube of gas used to carbonate
water for use in the buffet caused over
SI,OOO damage at the new home of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles. The en
tire rear wall of the house was blown
awa? and the buffet and adjacent
rooms partially demolished.
Spontaneous combustion is believed
to have caused the explosion, which
was so severe that it was heard at
points over a mile distant from the
home. The steward, Stephen Mart,
had left the room a short time pre
viously, and it is believed thereby es
caped death, as pieces of the tube blew
to nil parts of the room. One portion,
over a foot in diameter, torn out the
rear door and was partially imbedded
in the wooden door jamb. The tube
has been in the home since April 19.
A meeting will be held on Thurs
day evening to assess the amount
needed for repairs, which it is believed
will be over SI,OOO.

VICTORIA THEATER
On account of being delayed by the
railroad company the big six-reel fea
ture, "Between Savage and Tiger," will
be shown to-day. This picture is brim
full of many exciting scenes enacted
by the wild tiger. The actors take
many chances in working with these
wild animals. "Snookem's Birthday"
and "Fickle Mary Jane" is one of
those comic pictures which this the

"Across the Danger Line" is a four-act
war picture full of excitement. "Ashes

picture which holds the audience from
beginning to end.—Advertisement.
AT THE COLONIAL
Music, mirth and beauty all have
their fling at the clever vaudeville
offering that holds forth at the Colo
nial for the first half of the week.
Music, however, and real music a\
that, is probably the hill's greatest as
set. It is provided by the Guatamalian
Mirarnba Band, six virtuosos of a
sweetly resonant instrument, con
structed very much like a xylophone,
only sweeter and more subdued in
tone. The members of the band play
sweetly and muchly and everybody is
delighted. Their program ranges from
opera to popular and stops at all the
way stations. The comedy of the bill
is supplied by Murphy and Kearnev, a
duo of singing comedians, in very
laughable patter and parodies, while
the beuaty is added by the Perry Sis
ters. nice-appearing girls, in a neat
song and dance specialty. An excel
lent Lubin feature film entitled "The
Inventor's Wife" will be a special fea
ture of to-day's picture program.—Ad
vertisement.
PALACE THEATER
At the Palace to-day the second se
ries of "Lucille'Love, the Girl of Mys
tery," Is being shown along with the
regular program. For to-morrow an
Eclair two-reel drama of the land of
Pharaoh, "In the Shadow of the
Mosque,' will he shown, which is stir
ring, unique and impelling.
In this film the Eclair has given us
a powerful drama of the Far East,
splendidly acted and capably produced
amid wonderful desert scenery. The
photography is superb and some of the
scenes, deeply toned, are remarkable
In their strength and vigor. We are
given an intimate insight into the
Arabian customs and nature, and the
strange fatalism of the East that
seems to be an inborn attitude of its
people, is made one of the interesting
themes of the play. One is bound to
enjoy it for its novelty and freshness.
Augustus Carney and Gale Henry
will al,so be shown in a rip-roaring
comedy, "When Universal Ike Set."
Vivian Prescott and Charles DeForrest
will also be featured in two Crystal
remedies, "An Up-to-date Cook" and
"Three Men and a Girl." —Advertise-

Special Sunday Exercises
at Camp Hill Church

The church was artistically decorated
with festoons, the color scheme being
purple and white, a large streamer
was supended from the ceiling bearing
the motto, "In Honor of the Best
Mother Who Ever Lived—Your Own."
At 9.30 the Sunday school rendered
a carefully arranged program of reci
tations and readings, together with
some quaint old songs mother sang in
bygone days. Without a break in the
service, the Sunday school remained in
session through what was the regular
church service, at which time the pas
tor, the Rev. G. B. M. Reidell, made
a strong address on "Motherhood." At
the close a handkerchief salute was
given to mother.
The attendance jumped from 61 the
first Sunday In the year to 129, and
the special offering at the Sunday
school session toward purchasing a
piano amounted to over S4O.
Samuel Curran, the new superin
tendent of the Sunday school, has by
hard work since the first of the year
greatly Increased the attendance and
has added much needed equipment to
the school. New curtains, chairs and
other furniture have been bought,
classes rearranged and teachers' meet
ings instituted. New literature and
singing books have also been pro

I'yX
fan Two-Piece Flounced Skirt,
22 to 30 waist.
WITH OR WITHOUT RUFFLE.
Everything that flares to produce a
wide effect in the skirt is fashionable.
This one is made with two circular
flounces. It is very simple and very
smart and it can be treated in a number
of different ways. As shown here, it is
! all of one material but the flounces could
be made of plaid or other fancy material
while the skirt is plain, or, if the material
is heavy and it is desirable to reduce the
weight, thin silk can be used for the skirt
beneath the flounces while the lower
portion only is of the material. The
model is a good one for all seasonable
materials. The heavier ones will require
only to be stitched on the edges, the
lighter ones, such as taffeta and other
silks, can be finished with little plaitings
of ribbon or narrow ruchings of the ma
terial or in any manner that tends to give
the effect of fullness at the lower edges.
For the medium size, the skirt will
require 2% yds. of material 27, 44 or 52
in. wide, with 2yds. 27, 2yds. 44 or
52 in. wide for the flounces; width at
lower edge I yd. and 20 in., for medium

Superfluous Hair
Killed Without
Electricity
BY A SPECIALIST
"I have tho greatest trouble with
correspondents who insist on using
common, worthless depilatories or want
the torturing barbarous electrical
needle applied for killing their super
fluous hair," says Mine. Chaminade in
Milady's Boudoir. "More mental and
physical suffering is caused by these
abominable methods than you can im
agine I have carefully investigated
and tried a new and simple method
that never fails to remove all signs of
hair completely and painlessly and
without injury to the skin or complex
ion. In a surprisingly large number
of cases it has destroyed all trace of
hair so that it has neveh returned. In
fact 1 must caution my readers that it
must not be applied to hair that they
do not wish totally destroyed. It Is
called "Mrs. Osgood's Wonder," being
named for a well known woman who
arranged for it to be put on the mar
ket after it had succeeded in entirely
eradicating all trace of her own very
distressing growth of hair on chin, lip
and arms, which everything else had
failed to touch.
Mrs. Osgood's Wonder is quite inex
pensive; .you can obtain It from Ken
nedy's Medicine Store, or any up-to

the guarantee of your money back, if
it fails. Ask for it by name, "Mrs.

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
v are constantly being restored to health by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we are continually pub
lishing in the newspapers —hundreds of them—are all genu
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true—if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
CAMDEN, N.J.—' 14 1 was sick for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did mo any good. I was not able to go
to bed, bnt spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
your medicine to every one and so does my husband."—Mrs. Tixxia
•\VATEIIS, 1135 Knight St., Camden, N.J.
And this one from Mrs. Haddock:
UTICA, OK I,A. —" I was weak and nervous, not able to do my work
and scarcely able to be on my feet. I had backache, headache, palpi
tation of the heart, trouble with my bowels, and inflammation. Since
taking the Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I am better
than I have been for twenty years. I think it is a wonderful medi
cine and I have recommended it to others."—Mrs. MARY ANN HAD
DOCK, Utica, Oklahoma.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial? You know that
it has saved many others—why should it fail in your case?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedyfor fe- Siffr
