Kind Neighbors Cut Timber
to Build Farmer's New Barn
Special to the Telegraph
Elizabethville, Pa., March 17.
This week a large number of farmers
living near the farm of William P.
Lenker, whose barn burned down re
cently, went into his woods and
chopped enough trees to be used for
Ihc frame lumber necessary to erect a
new barn. This act of charity is re
ceiving much comment in the valley
and is highly appreciated by Mr.
Lenker and his family.
W HKRE OUR NAMES CAME FROM
Once upon a time given names were
the only names in use. One was Tom,
I.Mck or Harry, and that was all there
was about it. Our present surnames
uro.se from nicknames. Thus Tom the
Tailor became in time Tom Taylor and
his descendants used Taylor as a
family name. The most familiar of
our surnames were taken from the
occupations of our forefathers, as
Smiths. Bakers, Brewers, etc. Many
men. moving to new towns, had the
name of the place from which they
had come fastened upon them. Others
took names like Pope, King and
Bishop, from playing those parts in
plays. Hogg and Bacon are simple.
Purcell developed from pourcel, mean
ing little pig. Gait and Grice are old
dialect words of the same meaning.
Tod meant fox, Fitchle was polecat,
and so the keen student of language
traces the beginnings of our names in
the old dialects. Some of the nick
names were originally distinctly lin
• ompllmentary, as Seely for silly,
Cameron for crooked nose, and Ken- ;
nedy for ugly head. Grace developed :
from grns or fat.—The American Boy. '

CONDEMNS "TOO
PROUD TO FIGHT"
Lodge Arraigns Administration j
in Speech Before Lynn
Republicans
Special to the Telegraph
Lynn. Mass., March 17. Senator;
Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,
. evoked wild applause last night wlien
jin a speech before the Republican :
j Club of Lynn, announcing his candi
dacy tor re-election, he said: •
"Let tt not be baid of us by our :
I children that our motto was:
" "Down with honor,
Down with right, »
Down with the flag;
Too proud to fight.'
"See to it that our children and our ;
{children's children shall tie able to
say of üb, even as we say of the men
of the Revolution and of the Civil i
War:
"They fought the good fight,
They kept the faith.' "
Senator Lodge spoke not only of 1
the issues of the coming presidential
| campaign, but of the position of the
I United States in relation to the war- j
ring Powers in Europe and to Mex- ;
j ico. He said. In part;
"Since 1864 there has been no elec- i
j tion comparable in its meaning and !
I its results to that, now before us. This I
is due to two facts—the unparalleled
1 condition of the civilized world owing
to the war in Europe, and the con
duct of the Democratic administra
tion, which came into power on the
4th of March, ISI3. In my opinion,
since the foundation of the Govern
ment, with the exception of the Ad-]
: ministration of Buchanan, there has|
been no administration in power j
which has been so injurious to the j
1 United States, both at home and j
; abroad, as that now in control at |
; Washington.
"They began with the destruction |
of the protective tariff. They left our
producers open to a destructive com
petition, and the consequences of this
action were seen before the Ist of
August, 1914. in languishing indus
tries, diminished employment, lower
ed revenues and increased taxation.
"The European war had two ef
fects; one was that it acted like a
prohibitory tariff; the other was that
the demand of Europe stimulated ab
normally certain great industries and
brought to the country large sums of
money for their products. Despite j
the protection which the war af-1,
forded, other industries upon which!
the war caused no demand st.lll re- j
mained dull and languishing, and they
have made no preparation to meet the |
destructive and abnormally low-priced i
competition which will come with the
end of the war.
"We mut«t pass beyond our own |
borders if we would understand the j
evils which have been wrovight by the I
present administration and the]
humiliations to which they have ex- j
posed this country. The President I
has said that he lias a single-track j
mind, but it is a track interspersed I
with so many turntables that it is not I
always easy to find out the direction I
in which the mind is running."

"Where are you going?" called |
Warren from the living room.
"I was going arounc! to the store, j
dear," said Helen, pausing.
"Can't you telephone?"
"it's 100 late for the boy to de-1
liver, and we need this for dinner,"
"Well, send Mary."
"But Mary is busy getting dinner,]
dear; she can't take the time."
Warren subsided with a grumbled j
remark about letting things go. ]
"It's always the way," he said, as he j
heard the door slam. "Something
always needed at the last moment.
No system about things, that's the
t rouble."
The trouble with Warren at the
present moment was a perusal of!
the monthly bills. This month they
were larger than usual. Several
things had been neede(% for the
house and Helen had bought two i
hats' and a new suit which were
charged on the Croft & Ordway
bill. Warren continued fingering j
the papers for some minutes and
then the key in the latch told him!
that Helen was coming back.
"Come in here and go over these !
things, will you?" he called.
"I'll be right in, dear, just as soon
as T give these things to Mary," and,
Helen went Into the kitchen, to re-,
tourn a few minutes later, her hat!
and coat off and looking remark- j
ably pretty.
An Open Question
"Do you want to go over the!
bills?" she said sweetly. "I do hope!
that you won't think I have been j
extravagant, dear."
"That remains to be seen: they!
look pretty large to me."
"But they were things we needed, j
I haven't bought a thing that 1
wasn't absolutely necessary."
"Here's one amounting to thirty- j
four ninety-four. What are all
these china Items?"
"Don't you remember that you told j
me to complete that set of dishes?"
"Oh. yes: so that's what It is I
have been trying to remember.
"Well, I suppose that one is all i
right." said Warren, folding It up i
and putting it in his pocket.

Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the
Things You Eat.
(Copyright. 1918, by Alfred W. McCann.)

Chapter 8S
Tlie relationship l>otween the known
causes of constipation mid the sus
pected cause* of cancer Is based upon
the unnatural loss of cellulose, min
eral salU. colloids, and vitamin TO to
which the nation's lnoakfast foods and
brcadstaffs arc subjected before they
are put on sale.
Because it is true that constipation
in the United States causes more hu
man misery than drunkenness we
shall not dismiss the subject until it
is considered in connection with the
prevalence of acidosis and cancer now
on the rapid increase from coast to
coast.
The demand for laxative pills,
cathartics and heart depressors for
the relief of constipation and the
headaches due to the absorption of
retained toxines from congested intes
tines overloaded with decay, is greater
than the demand of the "morning
after" for bracers.
It Is needless to reassert this truth,
for all of us know that if we ask
any druggist what one so-called rem
edy is most covered by the human
race we shall be told that "constipa
tion pills" sit on the mountain top
of popular clamor for relief from dis
tress.
The average creature, who lives
largely on food deficient in cellulose,
fiber and mineral salts, needs no de
scription of the misery which con
stipation begets, but there is another
warning for such creatures which
should not be ignored. •
Diagnosticians arc agreed that
many of the ills which plague human
nature are preceded by a history of
constipation. They also agree on the
proposition that freedom from consti
pation averts many ills.
They are not agreed upon the cause
of cancer. Some of them believe that
cancer is u premature aging and
breaking down of the cells. They hold
to the theory that certain cells be
come aged while the tissues around
them are still in a state of compara
tive youth. The aging cells they say
express their senility by returning
to a more embryonic form and as
they do so increase In number, thus
resulting in the morbid growth which
they call cancer..
In the opinion of many cancer spe
cialists this faculty of multiplication
Is one of the manifestations of de
generating cells.
Other cancer specialists hold to the
proposition that cancer is the direct
result of irritation, either mechanical
or chemical, and that it may be pro
duced bv the absorption of an un
identified poison.
Still others believe that it is pro
duced by the invasion of a parasite
yet unrecognized and too small to be
discovered by the most powerful
microscope. Yet. while they arc all
In doubt about the origin of cancer,

the rate of 2.4 per cent, a year in the
United States.

I you paid so much for a suit. Which
one is it?"
"Why, dear, my blue suit that you
selected yourself. Don't you re
member I wanted a cheaper one and
you wouldn't have It?"
"No. I don't seem to remember.
Why Two Hats?
"Two hats. Why two?"
"One was the little black straw
hat and the other was that leather
hat I bought for skating."
"That's extravagance!" he snorted

"Well. I needed it, Warren; it
looked out of plsce somehow to
skate in a sweater and a tailored
hat."
Warren grumbled something.
' What's this, one cocktail mixer?"
"That wedding present 1 bought
for your salesman. Ton told me to
buy something."
"Where is it? I haven't seen it."
"It just came home yesterday, and
you were out last night."
"Well, get it out and let me look
it over. The idea of getting a pres
ent like that for a salesman. They'll
never use It."
"But this is an extraordinary one,"
explained Helen. "It's really stun
ning. I.ook, dear, it's in the form
of a shrapnel; the top is the mixer,
and the bottom Is filled with little
giasses."
Warren was examining the thing
carefully.
"By George!" he said, after he
had taken It apart, "that's quite an
invention."
"Yes, you see. it looks like an
ornament, and it really Is the latest
thing, dear they were having a sale
when I bought it."
Mollified
"We'll have to have one of these
ourselves," said Warren eagerly.
"Fred will never use this In a
month of Sundays; I think I'll just
keep this and you can get them
something else."
"Well. Is that all?"
"Oh. just about all, I guess. I
suppose you have been as careful as
you could. I'll send checks for them.
Be a little careful this month."
Another instalment in this scries
about everyday life will appear on
this page shortly.
Gynecological Society of the Amer
ican Institute of Homoepathy at Chi
cago, June 28, 1916, declared that
demineralized foods form a factor in
the development of cancer.
"The human family is underfed in
mineral food salts," he said. "A mo
mentous fact is that the flour mills
of the civilized world are busy elim
inating every particle of iron, phos
phorus. sodium, potassium, silicon,
calcium, chlorine, magnesium and sul
phur (mineral salts) from our staple
food supply and sending out food ma
terial rich in heats units but pitifully
meager in energizing and immunizing
material.
"Since a critical examination of
the habits of life of clviliaed cancer
plagued people in comparison with
the habits of primitive cancer-free
people shows that the main differ
ence between them is In a dietary
poor in mineral salts among the can
cer-plagued people and a dietary rich
in mineral salts among the cancer
free people, the most logical and ra
tional course is to adopt this as a
keynote to cancer treatment.
"All forms of malisnant disease are
possible only because of absence of
or loss of Immunity. All animal life
in normal .state of environment and
supplied with nutriment bearing all
the organic ingredients necessarv for
the maintenance of disease-resisting
vitality possesses in itself a protec
tive immunity to cancer.
"In view of the well-established
fact that in the vegetable world an
adequate supply of the earth's salts,
phosphorus. potassium, iron mag
nesium, silicon, calcium, etc., acta as
a distinctive deterrent of parasitic life
and makes {or vigorous disease-re
sisting life, may we not assume as
much for the animal world?"
There is indeed a direct relation
ship between the known causes of
constipation and the suggested causes
of cancer. This relationship is based
upon the loss of cellulose, mineral
salts, colloids and vitamine in our
breakfast foods and breadstuffs.
Take, for instance, the bran of
wheat, which is one of the food ele
ments lost to modern cancer-plagued
civilization. Wheat bran consists of
three layers, all of which contain
larger proportions of cellulose or fiber
than the interior of the grain.
The two outer layers contain more
of the phosphorus, calcium and
Iron compounds than the other parts
of the grain: while the innermost
layer contains a special kind of pro
tein. which, there is reason to believe,
is the seat of the indispensible vlta
mincs lost in the milling of wheat.
As we have seen, bran Is not so "di
cestible" as the first-patent flour for
the reason that all of flrst-patent
flour is absorbed whereas all of the
hr«.n 'i not absorbed. The mistake of
estlm«|nar the food value of anv food
by its ability to undergo complete ab
sorption has already been recognised
by many authorities and it is now
certain that the medical profession
will soon give to the nonabsorbable
food elements the importance which
belongs to them.
'HOW l>T|> THEY GET THE NEWS?
Ralph Pulitzer, who has Riven his
experiences in the war zone in his just
published book, "Over the Front in an
Aeroplane," relates an interesting
anecdote illustrating the astonishing
activity of the German intelligence de
partment. "One day," says Mr.
Pulitzer, "when the Belgian army was
being reuniformed in IchaUi, a certain
regimen!, or chasseurs was ordered to
leave thrir trenches right after dark
that night to march to the rear for
the purpose of having their new uni
forms issued to them. An hour or two
after they had received this order the
Germans right, opposite them hoisted
n great placard above their trenches.
On it was a sign painted: 'Good-by,
brave chasseurs! Run along to get
your new uniforms at seventeen francs
fifty apiece'!"

No feature of the new fashions is more
interesting than the persistency of the
over-bodice idea. Here is a charming
dress for the school girl-which shows that
teature most attractively used. On the
figure, the skirt is made from embroid
ered flouncing, the tinder-bodice is made
fro;n all-over material to match and the
over-bodice is made of blue taffeta and
the combination is a very attractive one.
The frock is essentially smart and at the
same time essentially simple. The straight
skirt is simply gathered and joined to the
tinder-bodice, and the over-bodice is ar
ranged over it. The over-bodice is fin
ished separately and closed at the back,
but the shoulder edges arc buttoned to
give a pretty effect. In the smaller view,
there is a suggestion for making the ovcr
bodice and the skirt of tafteta with the
ur. tier-bodice of cr£pe tie chine.
1- or tlie 12 year size will be needed,
yards of flouncing 29 inches wide with
2yards of material 36 for the under
bodice and \\i yards for the over-bodice

ISLANDS FOR SALE
By Frederic J. Haskin
[Continued from Kditoriul Pagr.]
The islands enjoy a moderate cli
mate, the temperature rarely going be
low seventy or above ninety degrees.
During August, September and Octo
ber when the south winds prevail, the
atmosphere ia hot and sultry and
many thunder storms occur. Earth
quakes happen often, but are not vio
lent enough to do any damage; occa
sionally, there is a cyclone which does
a great deal.
On St. Thomas island almost the
entire population lives in the town
lof Charlotte Amelia. Lying on the
[sides of three lofty hills, banked with
tropical l'oliage, and with its front
I street, a shaded driveway, skirting the
I blue waters of the barbor, Charlotte
Amelia has an extremely picturesque
setting. Jn its prosperous days, before
the headquarters of the large trad
ing companies moved to the Barba
does, the harbor was visited by war
ships of every nation, which dropped
anchor there between December and
April. Begap, then, a round of social
gayety. Dancee were given at the gov
ernment house, and dinner parties,
picnics and moonlight deck parties
succeeded each other until the ships
were off again.
Now all this gayety has vanished
and Charlotte Amelia is just a ciulet
harbor settlement where living is very
cheap. A large house with spacious
grounds and verandas can be had for
twenty-five dollars a Monti) and ser
vants at from five to seven dollars
monthly. Food is also inexpensive.
There are plenty of vegetables and
fruit, livestock is imported from
Rico, and the surrounding wa
ters abound in fish.
The islands were first discovered
by Columbus on Ills second voyage to
America and were named by him the
Virgin Isles. They were declared the
property of Denmark in 1666 by one
Erik Sniidt. at the head of a large
trading company. Denmark has held
them ever since, with the exception of
a short interval in 1801 and again
from 1807 to 1815, when they were
captured and held by the Knglish as a
war expedient. Peoples from almost
every nation on the globe have settled
here. The architecture of the Islands
is a mixture of Danish, French, Span
ish, English and Dutch, and the busi
ness .signs are in various languages.
St. Thorn".! was an old rendezvous of
the.black-Hag fraternity, and the ruins
of two t'orts built by pirates are still
to be seen on the cliffs. Here, too,
came the blockade runners during the
Civil War and established a southern
coaling station, which first suggested
their military value to the United
States government.
Secretary of State Seward was the
first to agitate the matter of purchas
ing the island from Denmark during
th.e Lincoln administration. The as
sassination of Mr. Lincoln and the
chaotic political situation which fol
lowed delayed negotiations, but a
treaty was finally ratified in Copenha
gen, ceding the Danish West Indies to
the t'nited States for the sum of $7,-
ilOO.OOo; In the meantime President
Johnson had succeeded to the White
House, and a bitter feud raged be
tween him and Congress. The fact
that the administration was in favor
of the pi:rfhase was enough to kill the
treaty in the Senate, which declined to
r&tlty. i
