10 XfcfcKYien nre r&s Suicide the Worst Folly Man Can Commit By Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Copyright, 1915, Star Company) If you are discouraged and blue and life looks hard and the future hope loss to-day. do not grow cowardly and think of self-destruction as the door of escape. You did not make yourself. Tou cannot unmake yourself. By no process of reasoning can you explain tills wonderful marvel of the life principle within you. Science has found all the ingredients which com pose an egg chemically, and an egg which resembles the hen's product can be manufactured. But it will not produce life. A cer tain low order of iish life has been produced In the chemical laboratory. But the germs spawned by the fish had first to be employed. Nothing can produce life but that unnamable, mysterious Power back of the universe. Created beings carry on the life principle through succeeding generations and centuries, but its pro duction and creation remain God's sec ret. He who imagines he can destroy that principle is as great a fool as he who says he can explain it. And he is a criminal bt sides. Death Only Shifts Scene of Act ions to Another Form an«l Plane All that death does is to shift the scene of action to another form and plane. If you are miserable and unhappy you do not become happy by going to nnother town or State. You carry your wretchedness with you. It is precisely the same when you rush out of the body by your own act. If you arc called out of the body byj Ihe same Power that brought you in to the world, then it is safe to suppose that conditions are ready for you to start anew in another place. Wait for that call. The actor who rushes upon the stage before his cue is given spoils the play and ruins his own chances for glory. Keep behind the earthly scenes until you hear the call. Meanwhile think •well of your lines and be ready to do your best when called. However discouraged you may be thousands of successful and happy people In the world to-day have been just as discouraged and unhappy as you are at some time in their lives. In Greater New York there lives to day a woman, who less than a year ngo harbored dark, despairing thoughts of suicide. She had made a mistake; she had lost her self-respect, and every im aginable trouble seemed to threaten her. Hunger and misery for those dear 1o her and dependent upon her, with despair and remorse, all combined to turn her thoughts toward the coward'*? goal—suicide. But seeming accident deterred lie:*. «nd now in less than a year all has • hanged. She has risen to new spiri tual and moral heights, she has ob tained work and is leading a good, useful, Christian life. She Is making those dear to her happy and comfortable. How much better than to have sunk them In the depths of a Life-long sorrow by a rash attempt at self-de- Negro Falls 2 Stories on His Skull; Breaks One of Cellar Steps T.ebanon, Pa., April 7.—lsaac Reed, i a colored bod carrier, fell from the 1 second floor of a new home being erected in Strawberry avenue, and! landed in the cellar with such force j that his head broke the cellar steps, i but the ntan was unhurt, and after' rubbing the bruised parts and snorting j a bit from the pain, he resumed his I labors.

No Matter What Your Troubles Arc To-day, a Year Stay Scatter Them No matter what your troubles are to-day, a year may scatter them and leave you with new hope and new Interest in life. If you are an invalid a year may re store your strength. This is a wonderful age and people are beginning to realize that health is greatly within one's own control. Simple food, well masticated, as lit tle meat as possible, much water, con tinual deep breathing to feed the body with pure oxygen, and continued as sertions of health and strength, from the source of all energy, will restore three-fourths of the Invalids on earth, with no aid of medical skill. A two or three months', or even weeks' diet of raw vegetables, or milk and eggs, would restore half of the remainder, if coupled with the right mental atti tude and exercise. The day is nearing when sickness will mean disgrace or lack of brain. If you have no money and no em ployment make up your mind that both are coming to you. If starvation seems imminent go to the nearest house In the country and tell your condition. Not one door in one hun dred will shut you out before bestow ing a saving meal. If you are In a city the blessed Salvation Army will help you, and will tell you of places to find shelter until you can look about and gain courage for a fresh start. Unlike most of our orthodox churches, their rooms are open night and day, and in all parts of the city in every city In the I'liion they are to be found. They are doing just the work Christ did when upon earth. No mat ter if your creed is not theirs to the letter, they will help you to rise and keep out of the morgue and the Pot ter's field. Brace I'p Morally and Mentally and Way Will Open For You After you have rested for a day brace up morally and mentally, and declare that you are going to make a new start, and that the way will open, must open, and has already opened to you for a new life. 1 This assertion will strengthen you amazingly. Believe in yourself, in your right to a useful, happy and successful life. Remember how many men have been in poverty and despair and have risen out of them to power and use fulness afterward. Trust in the invincible force of your own divine soul to become one of these and believe the Angels of who hear the cry of despairing ones on earth will strengthen you. The way will and must open for you if you turn your eyes away from death and despair, upward and in ward. The world needs you or you would not be. Your place is waiting for you find it! Brand CD. K).

The thoughts of all theae peopli ■were bent upon the poor little runawa; ■ ' ; - ' j . Hunting a Place, No Matter How Deso-' late, In Which to Hide. bride, who was at that moment skirt- j lug the marshy shore anil hunting a i place, no matter how desolate, iui which to hide. There was nn inlet among the' marshes. She ventured into it a short] distance, but It led to nowhere, and, she hurried out again to the open wa j ter. A small boat rounded the point,! and for a moment June's eyes dis-l tended, involuntarily she crouched. CHAPTER 11. mliK three river thieves in the«ex (pilsitely furnished houseboat worked with deft rapidity. It was the woman's swift, intui tive part to discover hiding places: the lean .Take's to discriminate in values;] Big Ben's, with nippers and hammer I and screwdriver, to rip off bressworlc. to open drawers, to ren v 1 and tear and splinter if need be. Within an lncredl biy short space of time they had the skiff piled high with the richest and the best which the houseboat had con tained; then they spread the tarpaulin over their plunder and disposed their bunches of celery so that the green leaves protruded in a fringe from un der the edge of the tarpaulin; then the heavily ladeu skiff, with its four pas sengers and its loot, wormed its way clumsily from amid the - barges, look ing like an innocent farmer boat. The sun, now a golden ball in the easteru mist, looked down upon, a harborage busy with the pursuers of the little runaway bride. Henri and Marie were swishing swiftly; Ned and Bobble and Iris were leaving the dock In Bobbie's speedy little cruiser; Hono ria Biye and the well known and just ly famous private detective. Bill Wolf, were putting out into the river In the Eagle Eye Detective agency's steam yawl, its stovepipe stack rolling black smoke and cinders and hot sparks back over the already blackening pas sengers; Gilbert Blye and /the heavy lidded Edwards were just leaving the Hilarity in the keen little racer; Cun ningham had been slow and below decks when they put off. but. he fol low now in the cutter. The racer and the cutter speeded straight for the point around which June had disap peared. Tommy Thomas waved a scart after them and shouted absurd in structions to them, but Mrs. Vlllard stood quietly by the rail, her eyes fixed somberly on that distant point. Slowly June raised from her crouch ing: position. The cling of the small boat which she bad sighted seemed tn be fainter rather than more distinct. It was fading into the distance when she looked, and from its red stern sho knew that it was not one of the Hilar ity's boats. Once more she breathed a sigh of relief, but even as she did sa she heard a familiar sound—the siren whistle of the Hilarity's cutter! And it was near! Frantically now she scanned the shore. There was another Inlet Just ahead of her. and in desperation she steered into it. It was « narrow but distinct channel, winding aliout amid a tangle of shrubbery and marsh Brass and stunted trees, with here and there a larger tree rising from a mound of solid earth. There were high banks presently and then a tiny island, in the center of which was a decrepit hut June was about to step ashore when she heUrd (he low purring of n motor The cutter! From the sudden shut-in ness of the sound it had entered the Inlet. In terror June Jumped back into the boat. The hut seemed deserted. There was no smoke rising from the ehlmney and no one to protect her if she were found there alone. She was away in a flash, circliug the island. From the other side she saw that the channel led away into the marshes, probably to another Inlet, and she had started to dart down this lonely water way when suddenly she spied a rope trailing out into the water from under some bushes matted with marsh weeds The whir of the motor was rapidly ad vancing. She could scarcely hope to escape unseen. Her wits sharpened by her peril, she steered with swift de cision toward the overhanging bushes. They parted as hei' prow rau into HARRISBURG d§iii TELEGRAPH them, and. bending low, she found her self shot Into entire concealment. The whir of the approaching motor grew loud. Quick as a flash June reached for the telltale rope which had be trayed this hiding place and drew It under cover of the matted bushes. Louder and louder grew the whir. It ■was 3 us t upon her. With her heart beating so that her ears were full of the sound of it June peered out through her leafy screen. Orin Cunningham! He circled the island In his swift little cutter, his keen eyes searching every where. He passed within ten feet of her. She held her breath lest he might hear it. and once as his eyes turned full In her direction and she thought he had certainly detected her hiding place *he almost screamed. He passed on. however, and. running his light little boat ashore, stepped out and went up to the hut. the only pos sible place of concealment on the is land. June had a swift debate with herself. Should she leave her conceal ment and. running her motor at its quietest speed, slip away down that other channel while Cunningham was in the hut? That debate was settled in an instant, for np the other channel slipped the swift little speed boat car rying Edwards and Gilbert Blye! Blye's dark, handsome face was with out its usual suave smile, and it wore a look of concern as, making a quick landing, he hurried up to the hut, fol lowed by the plodding Edwards. It seemed ages before they came | away, and they had apparently made a thorough search, for they even stooped down as they came outside to peer un der the stilted foundation amid the rubbish which had accumulated there. When they had gone away June re mained for a long time in her hiding place, but Anally she stepped from hci boat and crept from her concealment 'Thirst, inspired by the fever of her ex citement, had driven her forth iu search of drinkable water. There was a cask of water in the hut, brackish and stale, but it was water, and she drank of it from a rusty old tin cup which hung to it. She had jusl set down the cup when her quick ears detected a low, steady hum. Sbe step ped to the door, ready to make a dash for her boat, but as she set her fool upon the threshold she saw the dark gray prow of a skiff protruding its point around the bend of the lowet channel: She darted back out of sight and, looking through a crack in the board wall, saw in the skiff three rough looking men and a rough looking woman. The skiff rode low in the wa ter. and from under its tarpaulin flaunt ed a fringe of celery leaves. June laughed in relief. It was good to see human beings who were not in pursuit of her, who would befriend and protect her. and she had nlmost run down to meet them when suddenly loud, angry voices came from the frail little craft. There was a bitter quarrel, in which the woman took a shrill part, and as the boat landed the woman Jumped out and stooped swiftly. The man with the scraggly mustache and the scattered tufts of beard on his face Jumped ashore, cursing. The woman raised up swiftly and. with a shrink like a cat. jumped for the man with r long knife glittering in her hand. The knife flashed down, and the man stag gered back. The gleaming blade was raised again, but before it could de scend the huge, rawboned man, whe had Jumped from the boat, caught tht woman's arm. June SHW no more. She ran wildly around the little hut, looking valnlj for some place of concealment. A rustj stove, a rickety table, some rule bench es, two straw pallets—that was all. There was no other room, not even ;> cupboard, in the ceiling June's fran tically roving eyes found a trapdoor, one of its boards loose. 011 the wood en wall beneath it was a series of cross sticks, and without hesitation June ran up this rude ladder, shovel the trapdoor aside and scrambled intc the attic. There were voices below. The quar rel, whatever It had been about, hai! : evidently been settled, for the woman ; was laughing, and so was the big. raw boned man. June peered down througli s crack In the ceiling boards. These two and the lean fellow with the hook nose were Winded with all thej could carry. The big man with the scar on his chin dropped his heavj bags on the floor with a clatter, and the brass stopcock of a washbasin rolled out of oue of theui. The woman carried silks and tine linens in her bundles, and the lean little fellow was loaded with silverware. As they de posited their burdens 011 the floor the other uian came in and sat heavily on a bench. "Well. Babe, you sliced me. all right," ho grinned, and. throwing off his coat, be loosened his shirt at the neck and bared his left shoulder. There was an ugly wound near his armpit, and it was bleeding profusely. June clapped her hand over her mouth to prevent a hysterical outcry, while her senses swam. She was see ing phases of life that she little dream ed existed. The woman made a laughing reply and after the people exhibited differ ent articles of jewelry, clothing, etc.. they started cooUimr a meal.

Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you will have been the means of Having some poor sufferer perlmps from total deafness.
