2 TIMELY NEWS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND CITY'S SUBURBS TWO ESCAPE FROM ADAMS CO. JAIL For Third Time in Three Weeks Prisoners Get Away From Gettysburg Keepers Gettysburg, Pa., Oct. 11.—Some thing seems to be wrong at the coun ty Jail. Three weeks or so ago two soldiers escaped from the prison. They were recaptured at Carlisle and after spending several more days in the Jail made another escape and are still at large. Late yesterday afternoon two negroes who had been Impris oned about a week got out into the yard and driving nails into the wall, climbed up and dropped down the other side and got away. Some school children saw them and asked them what they were doing, and were told that the sheriff was sending the men to the playground, which is just a short distance back of the jail, for something. This satisfied the chil dren and no alarm was given until it was discovered by other prisoners some time later that they were gone. Why Actresses Never Grow Old Nothing concerning the profession seems more puzzling to the deur old public than the perpetual youth of our feminine members. How often we hear remarks like, "Why, I saw her as Juliet forty years ago and she doesn't look a year older now!" Of course allowance Is made for make up. but when they see us off the stage at close range, they need another ex planation. How strange women generally haven't learned the secret of keeping the face young! How simple a matter to get an ounce of mercolized wax at the drugstore, apply it like cold cream, and in the morning wash it off! We know how this gradually, imper ceptibly, absorbs old cuticle, keeping the complexion new and fresh, free from line lines, sallowness or over redness. We know, too. that this mercolized wax is the reason actresses don't wear moth patches, liver spots, pimples and the like. Why don't our sisters on the other side of the foot lights learn the reason, and profit bv it? —Theatrical World.
