OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN A GIRL AND A New and Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER 111 (Copyright, 1916, Star Co.) A little gray-haired, gray-eyed woman sat rocking before a window of her tiny parlor when Agnes Morley let herself softly into the small flat she shared with her aunt. The woman's thin hands were folded in her lap. Her face was faded, not only from ill-health, but fclso from the care of rearing her dead brother's child to womanhood, wrinkled from the anxiety of try ing to make both ends of a failing income meet. The girl tip-toed up behind her anc. laid her hands over her eyes. "Dearest," she whispered, "I've got a Job at last, and now I'm going to start in taking care of you." Agnes tried to laugh at the out burst of tears and exclamations with which her aunt clasped her in her arms. And then for a half hour she sat at the feet of her elderly relative, answering all ques tions and obeying the reiterated command that she "tell every thing about it." The news that her niece and foster-daughter had been offered a position which would make her practically self-supporting brought to Miss Morley a joy that wad pa thetic in its intensity. The fears that had beset the spin stei for the last two years now seemed dispelled as if by the gracious hand of the Lord, to' whom she gave all credit for Agnes' good fortune. Nobody but He and her self, she mused, could appreciate fully what this business offer meant to her and the child whom she loved as if she were her own daughter. Agnes herself had no real knowl edge of the painful economy and the anguish of foreboding that had be set her aunt of late. The small life insurance left by the girl's father had been expended upon her cloth ing and the incidentals to her educa tion by the time that Agnes was a Junior in high school. Miss Lucy had supplied from her own small funds the sum necessary to complete her niece's education and to enable her to take a course in the business college. An Answer to Prayer When Agnes had crept up behind her aunt and whispered the glad tidings into her ear, she had broken in upon a gloomy revery which had HP its subject the wonder as to where the next month's rent would come from. The girl's announcement that she hau obtained an excellent position ■with prospects of advancement, came, the older woman declared, as a direct answer to prayer. Of course she cried a little at first; tren she laughed and, drying her eyes, announced in a trembling A oice that she was "an old fool." "1 have not let you know how hard up we were," she allowed her self to confess now. "I have kept it from you, although I guess you saw that I had to pinch and twist to keep things going sometimes." "Indeed I have seen, and loved you for it," Agnes rejoined. She had suspected how anxious her aunt had been, yet until now she had not realized how near actual poverty had crept, nor that his pres ence had been a constant torture to the semi-Invalid. "You have been the best aunt any tfrl ever had," Agnes murmured, bending to kiss the wrinkled hands. "Oh, no, I haven't, my dear," Miss Lucy protested.

"If I'm good for anything, it's be cause you've done so much for me," Agnes assured her. "But for you I would never have had the chance to study as I have done, BO I would not have been able to accept the kind of position that Hale & Bain bridge offer." Miss Lucy looked up with added Interest. Uuntil this moment Agnes had not mentioned the name of the firm to which she was going, and her aunt had not asked. She Knows the Name "Hale & Bainbridge!" the eld erly woman repeated. "Why, isn't the William Hale that goes to our church the head of that Arm? I mean, Philip Hale's father? But of course he is," she went on before Agnes could reply. Do you sup pose that the son had anything to do with" "No!" interrupted Agnes quickly. "I know he had nothing to do with my getting this position. In fact he does not know yet that I have it. And I shall not let him know until I make good. "As to Mr. Hale why I do not even know if he knows that Phil and I are more than speaking acquaintances. You see. Aunt Lucy, he is one of the well-to-do people in our church who sit in the front pews, while we are the humble workers who sit in the gallery." There was no bitterness in the speech. She was too happy to re sent the fact just now that Philip Hule's father would regard Tier as only a humble member of the toiling class. And, seeing her happiness, the aunt's pale face broke into a smile. "I'll tell you what we'll do," she suggested. "Suppose, Agnes honey, that we have a little party to-night to celebrate just we two." "That yould be fine!" exclaimed Agnes fondly. So that evening, they had their little "party." Miss Lucy drove the pretesting girl from the little kitchen, and, with her own hands, pie-pared supper a wonderful meal in which a juicy steak, such as was seldom seen in the housenold, oc cupied the place of honor. "And now!" announced Agnes when supper was over and the dishes washed and put away, "get on your hat and coat, for we are going to celebrate by attending a movlne picture show. My treat, you understand." "Oh, my dear," Miss Lucy began to demur. "Do you think we ought to go?" "Of course we ought to!" Agnes exclaimed. Moreover, we are not going to the nickel-show on the ccrner that's too plebeian for us just now and on such an occasion as this. We are going to one of the big places where seats are a quarter and where stentorian singers charm the ear when the eyes become weary. "Come, hurry up; I am crazy to begin to spend just a little bit of the money that I hope to earn to morrow. After this, we will econo mize, but to-night we'll have a fling." And, laughing like a pair of happy children, the elderly woman, for getful of her weariness and Ill health, and the girl, full of the promise of youth, went out to gether.

Hid $427 in Mattress; Boys Have Fine Time Reading, Pa., July 12.—The dis appearance of a roll of $427, which Dominic Russo, of this city, had care fully banked by sewing it into tresa at his home, was solved when three 11-year-old boys. Including his own son, were arrested at Pottstown, where their lavish expenditure of money attracted the police. They bought themselves new cloth ing, suitcases, watches, candy, pocket flashlights, knives and other trinkets, making a general round of Pottstown stores.

HARRISBURG TELFGRAPH CORN CROP WILL NOT HIT RECORD Not Nearly as Good as Wheat and Hay in This Part of Pennsylvania at Least State Department of Agriculture reports tell of general complaint con cerning the backward season for corn and the inability to plant on account of the wet weather and they indicate that the acreage planted In Pennsyl vania this season will be considerably smaller than a year ago. Farmers throughout the State hve written to the Department that much damage has been done to the corn prospects by the heavy rains and through the ravages of the cut-worms and the wire worms. Corn is from two to three weeks back and unless favorable weather brings It along rapidly, there is some danger that the early frosts may do considerable more damage to the crop. Some of the farmers say that the ground was so wet that much of it could not be planted and In some sec tions only about f\fty per cent, of an average yield is /expected from the ground that the farmers succeeded in planting. On the slopes general com plaint is made that the heavy rains washed out the early plantings and that in some instances two and three plantings were necessary, while in others the planting was lost entirely. There is considerable damage done by birds pulling out the seed in the wet and soft ground. Farmers are now planting corn for ensilage and fodder and under more favorable conditions than earlier in the season expect better results. In some instances fields that had been prepared for corn have been sown to buckwheat. The wet weather which prevailed during May and June has resulted in a slight decrease in the acreage of pota toes planted for this reason and the condition of the crop is below the standard of other years. An unusually large acreage planted to potatoes was expected this year on account of the good prices obtained last Fall and winter, but reports reaching the Department indicate that in many sections the farmers were un able to successfully plant as many po tatoes as desired on account of the condition of the ground. In many cases the potatoes did not come up well and the potato beetle was unusually bad. Some potatoes were ruined by the bugs eating the plants before they managed to get through the ground. Like practically all farm crops the season Is about two weeks late. CHANGES IN POSTAL SAVINGS By Frederic J. Haskin [Continued from Kditorial Page] phically opened his account for that amount, and took the other SIOO home again. So in one day, five peo ple offered one office *1,950, of which SIOO was accepted. The real significance of this state of affairs cannot be understood with out an understanding of the class of people who make up the postal savings depositors. The natural question to ask about a man who cannot deposit SBOO in a postoffice is why he does not deposit It in a bank. Every American city has plenty of banking facilities, absolutely safe and solid. The re strictions on the postal savings law were manifestly put there to prevent the system from encroaching on the field of private enterprise. But the typical postal savings de positor does not see the case that way. He is suspicious of anything that does not bear a government seal, and soon er than trust his money to a private bank he will bury it in a tomato-can. There are persons of almost every class included in the 800,000 postal savings depositors, of course; but 72 per cent, of the deposits stand to the credit of the foreign-born. The great er part of the depositors are day-la borers. All these foreigners are ac customed to the postal savings sys tem from their European homes. They are not going to put their money in any bank not backed by the gov ernment, even though they are depos iting eleven dollars and forty cents, and the bank in question has a capital and surplus of fifty millions. These facts were well known, and largely responsible for the establish ment of our postal savings system in the first place. But when the new law came up for consideration a few weeks ago, it was stated that 35,000* depositors had reached the SSOO limit, and fhe situation with respect to them was therefore Just as bad as it had been in the first place. Actual ex perience proved, too, that the limiting of the individual deposit to SIOO was poor policy, because, for some reason or other, the immigrant has the hab it of hoarding his savings until they make a considerable total before he offers them for deposit. Thus he would store away his fingered dollar bills until he had S2OO or $250. When he offered this to the teller, he was told that only SIOO could be taken each month. Not infrequently this resulted in the would-be patron's tak ing himself and all his money away in a rage. The depositors as a class are suspic ious. They have worked hard for their money, and they are not going to take any chances on losing it. Any thing about the system which they do not understand arouses their uneasi ness and dislike, and the restrictions just done away with belonged to the things they could not understand.

"IT GOES WELL" FRENCH ALL SAY Gaining More Prisoners Than Their Total Losses; Bring Up Shells Press Camp, British Army in France —July 9, via London, July 11. "lt goes well," said General Foch, re ceiving the Associated Press corre spondent, who came across from the British lines to see something of the French part in the battle of the Somme. "It goes well," was the phrase heard from French officers and soldiers. General Foch's quickness and deci sion of manner singularly expresses the French spirit. While France was withstanding the blows of the Ger mans at Verdun and all the world looked in that direction, he was secret ly preparing a sledgehammer blow in. conjunction with the British in that part of the line hitherto conspicuous for Its quiet. "We were here and we went there, gaining more prisoners than our total losses," he said, as turning to a map on the wall in the sitting room of the chatteau which serves as his head quarters, he swept his finger from the former French line toward the salient formed by a turn in the Somme where the Germans have their backs to the river in front of Peronne. The ges ture represented a depth of four miles, the largest gain the French have made on the western front since the trench warfare began. More to Come "And there is more to come," he added. A note from his chief of staff, thanks to a note from British headquarters, meant the freedom of the lines which, by the elation of the features of every man whom the correspondent saw, was in winning mood. It was an army of movement, an army stretching its legs an dits imaginations, which had taken to the road in advance. Big guns which were silent and other big guns, slowly grumbling, were drawn forward by big tractors along routes thick with traffic. Mak ing many turns in trying to compass something of the whole, the correspon dents car proceeded, occasionally hav ing an interval of a few hundred yards of clear way, to make up ror the time lost when blocked by a glut of trans port. Railways trains were unloading more shells at the bases; shells were being stacked beside the roads and in the fields; new roads were building; lines of light railway were being ex tended. There was the same scene of prodigious industry as back of Verdun bul this time, instead of being on the defensive, it was overflowing . on grcund taken in the offensive. Plentiful Supply of Shells "Are we down hearted? No!" call ed a so!di.er In good English. Passing oncers and men exchanged joyful congratulations. No one seem e.l to care how covered with mud he was or how unshaven, so long as he had something to eat. The supply of shells was kept on top. Bearded veterans w«-re using the debris left by the Germans to make themselves comfortable or to secure their new trenches, or where njght found them. "Yes, I speak English," said an officer. "I come from New York. Who was saying that France had no punch left? Well, what do you think of this?" Some four or five hundred prison ers taken the previous ntght and waiting to be marched to the railroad station, were human lumps of utter exhaustion asleep on the ground. All expressed the same astonishment that the French should develop such a sudden and determined attack in that quarter. River and Harbors Report Is Adopted by House Washington, D. C., July 12.—1n the absence of fifteen of the thirty-six Pennsylvania congressmen, the House yesterday adopted the conference re port on the rivers and harbors bills by a vote of 187 to 132. The bill carries an appropriation of $42,886,085, in cluding $2,724,050 in the continuing contract authorizations. This is an increase of about $5,000,000 over the amount carried in the House bill. The Senate will accept the report after a filibustering debate, to be led by Sen ator Kenyon. None of the Pennsylvania items was changed in the bill. The Delaware river receives $2,165,000, exclusive of $600,000 for a continuing contract on Marmaduke ledge. This is the largest amount apportioned the Delaware river project in many years.

SKIN When you see a person with clear skin, flushed only with the color oi perfect health, you will also notice that the skin is soft, smooth and free from blemishes. There are no pimples, splotches, humors. It will be true of the face and true of the body. It is a true indication of rich, red blood coursing through the arteries. It means that the blood is full of red corpuscles. It would throw off a minor ailment like a flash, and even a stubborn disease would hardly prove fatal or lastingly disable such a person. For the same reason that healthy, clearn skin is an indication of pure, clean blood, blotchy and pimply skin is an indication of a diseased condition of the blood. Improper eating and drinking, or vicious habits, or unwise treat ment of personal infections, deteriorate the blood. i"his effete mat ter acts as poisons and the circulation carries these poisons to the various tissues, especially the skin. Then the blood begins to throw off the. humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin, fol lowed by pustules from which there flows a fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face arms and legs. In tetter, the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oil of the skin, caus ing a dry, feverish condition. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the form of pimples and blackheads while Psoriasis comes in scaly patches on different parts of the body. A very common form of Skin Disease also is Salt Rheum. The best way to handle skin diseases is to purify the blood with S. S. S. and thus enable it to do its work properly. S. S. S. removes these humors from the blood so that the skin, instead of being irri tated and diseased, is nourished by a supply of fresh, healthy blood. External applications of salves, washes, lotions, etc., while they may soothe the itching caused by the skin affections cannot cure the trouble because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and forces out the foreign matter and restores the blood to its normal, pure condition, enabling it thereby to relieve the skin affection. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class drug stores. Don't take a substitute. Book on skin diseases and Medical Advice if desired, sent free to all who write.
