ACTIVE MINISTER
FOR 57 YEARS
The Rev. Dr. J. R. Dimm,
Founder of Susquehanna
University, Retires
Special to the Telegraph
Selinsgrove, Pa.. April 4. After
57 years in the active ministry of the
Lutheran church, the Rev. Dr.
Jonathan R. Dimra, pastor of the
Shamokin Dam Lutheran Church for
32 years, and substantially the founder
of Susquehanna University at Selins
grove. has retired, Dr. Dimm having
preached his final or farewell sermon
In the presence of his successor, at
the Susquehanna University, the Rev.
Dr. F. P. Manhart on Sunday.
At the age of 22 years. Dr. Dlmm
entered Pennsylvania College at Get
tysburg, and was graduated in 1857.
He took charge of a classical school
in Center county and at the same time
studied for the gospel ministry. Two
years later he was ordained and
served his first charge at Bloomsburg
In 1859. He helped start the Blooms
burg Literary Institute while there,
and out of it, grew the Bloomsburg
State Normal School. It was in this
school that Pastor Dimm prepared for
college.
Dr. Dimm's most important work
as an educator was in the Missionary
Institute, at Selinsgrove. Here was
an institution of one building and
grounds worth about $5,000. It had a
literary and theological Department
with only 43 students. It was 25
years old. had become a forlorn hope
and was about to be disbanded. To
the principalship of the literary de
partment, the Rev. Dr. Dimm was un
expectedly called by the board of
directors. Dr. Dimm took the prop
erty at his own risk, without guaran
tee of expense and carried it forward
for twelve years. When the enroll
ment reached 150, the name was
changed to Susquehanna University,
many improvements were made and
the institution freed of debt.
Dr. Dimm was pensioned by the
Carnegie Foundation lately and now
lives retired here.
Treat Gall-Stones
Without Knife
Avoid Dangerous Operation by Using
Lohmann's Gallstona to Free
Yourself of Gall-Stones
This medicine has been employed
successfully for years. Numerous
letters from grateful former sufferers
attest its result-getting qualities. It
is positively unfair to yourself to un
dergo a painful, dangerous and often
useless operation until you have
found out what Lohmann's Gallstona
can do for yon.
An operation only removes the
stones that have already formed. It
doesn't correct the conditions that
cause them, and therefore another
operation may shortly be necessary.
Lohmann's Gallstona is designed to
not only remove the gall-atones (by
dissolution), but to correct the kid
ney, liver and bowel conditions that
cause them. Hence, its remarkable
success.
Which will you do? Will you risk
your life and many dollar* for an
operation, or will you risk one dollar
for a package of Lohmann'a Gall
etona? Which course is the wiser?
Naturally, you will prefer the lat
ter so get a pnokago to-day. Don't put It
off until another hideous attack of gall*
■tone collo grips you. For sale and recom

Dalmatia Man Immersed
Four Hours in Icy Water
Special to the Telegraph
Dalmatia, Pa., April 4.—On Satur
day afternoon Edward Drelbelbis,
night watchman for the Pennsylvania
( Railroad Company, came near losing
his life in the Susquehanna river here,
lie was rowing along the shore where
the current was very swift and the
boat capsized, throwing him into the
water. lie caught hold of a small
' tree and gradually drew himself up
( so that he could place his feet on a
limb, but the tree was so small that he
I could not risk to get out. of the water.
| In that position he remained about
I four hours, calling for help. Hope was
| almost gone when John and Oscar
Schlegel heard his cries and came to
I his assistance. Tt was some time be
fore they could get to him, as the cur
i rent was very swift, and It was at the
risk of their own lives, but they finally
succeeded in rescuing hint in an ex
hausted condition.
Maude Adams in "The Little
Minister" Coming Next Week
Maude Adams is to be seen at the
Orpheum Wednesday, April 12, when
she will enact Lady Babbie in J. M.
Barrie's charming Scotch comedy.
"The Little Minister." This is an an
nouncement that should be greeted
with pleasure by all lovers of the
1 heater in this city. It was as Lady
Babbie that Miss Adams made her
bow as a star and her portrayal of
the role brought her fame and a fol
lowing that has become larger each
season until now she stands in a little
niche in the public regard that is all
her own. "The Little Minister" was
the first of the Barrie plays to win
great success in this country. When
originally given in New York it es
tablished a record for the length of a
continuous run. It was the intention
of the actress to give the play for
three weeks in New York this season.
Its success was such, however, that all
her plans were upset and the play
was given for over two months. Those
who are familiar with Mr. Barrie's
exquisite story of Scotch life will be
eager to see again this play, but not
any more so than the admirers of Miss
Adams who had no opportunity of
witnessing the work during its early
runs. The comedy is staged with Miss
Adams' usual good taste and care, and
that it will be welcomed along with
its charming star is a certainty.
Urge Adoption of Social
Center Idea in HVg
How the community's social con
dition could be improved by the adop
tion generally of the social center idea
on co-operative lines by the schools,
the Y. M. A. and the Y. W. C. A.
was explained last evening at the
regular meeting of the Social Workers'
League.
A report on the problem had been
compiled by a committee composed of
Miss Matilda lliester, Miss Mary W.
Miller. Miss Emilie Lett, E. F. Weaver.
Dr. H. R. Wiener and John Yates.
The committee visited a number of
cities and investigated. Copies of the
report will be distributed among the
interested social worker organizations
of the community.
CORONER'S BIRTHDAY
Jacob Eckinger, coroner of Dau
phin county for a number of years,
better known as "Jake" by his many
friends, received congratulations to
day when he told a few he was cele
brating his birthday. The news soon
spread and kept him busy answering
phone calls.
When Health Breaks
the cause is often found to be improper habits of
living —principally wrong eating.
Many foods, especially white flour products,
lack certain necessary mineral elements, phosphate
of potash, etc. These valuable energizing elements
are abundantly supplied by the field grains, hut
thrown out in the milling process to make the flour
white.
The delicious, pure, easily digestible food,
Grape-Nuts
made of whole wheat and malted barley, supplies all
the rich nutriment of the grains—including their
vital mineral elements—most necessary for both
mental and physical health.
"There's a Reason"
Grocers everywhere sell Grape-Nuts.

TO THIS CITY BY PETITE ACTRESS
She of the naughty eyes in "Madame
La Presidente" at the Regent
to-morrow and Thursday.
| Overhead the Zeppelins circled, the
roar of their engines melting into the
general disorder, tiny white sheets
| of paper fall twirling through the air
to the ground at the foot of a few
thousand villagers of Tildonck, bear
ing the frightful message that within
three hours the vanguard of the great
Prussian drive would come abreast
the little town and that surrender they
must. Three hours later the popula
tion of that Belgian village heard the
roar of musketry in the neighborhood,
loud and louder boomed the guns and
then the stream of Tildonck started.
First from the side streets they came,
bundles on their shoulders, dog carts
loaded with children and household
effects, and with that struggling
stream of panic-stricken Belgians was
Mile. Philippine Artois, a Belgian ac
tress. A few months later she became
recognized in this country as a wo
man well qualified to show a realistic
travelogue of her experiences. Last
December she returned to Belgium
for new material and had occasion to
meet the high officials of both military
and civil authorities. Her accounts
of her interviews with these men who
to-day occupy the center of the stage
in this awful drama are worth hear
ing. It may be explained that Mile.
Artois has two brothers with the Bel
gian troops and it is easy to under
stand her poignant regret at having
to leave Belgium without knowing how
they fared.
Mile. Artois recites a tale of how
one Belgian mother had wrapped her
child in a bundle before starting on
tHe journey to Antwerp, 16 miles
away. Together with the bundle in
