THE PLOTTERS
* A New Serial of East and West
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER I,VII.
(Copyright, 1918, Star Company)
Elizabeth Wade went into her own
room, gripping John Butler's letter
tightly. It seemed the one thing for
her to hold fast to.
Some instinct made her turn the
key in the door behind her. She
could not endure the possibility of
any one's intruding on her privacy.
Then she sat down and with tremb
ling hands tore open the envelope
she held.
"My darling," she read.
Her first love letter! As a girl she
had dreamed of the man who would
some jjay write to her like this.
In her dazed condition she had al
most forgotten her anxiety and fear.
Now both rushed back upon her like
mighty forces as she read what her
lover had to tell her.
He was being detained pending
further investigation into the death
of Amos Chapin. That was the way ,
he put it. To the girl the sentence
meant but one thing.
John was accused of murder. He
would be tried, perhaps found guilty,
by a group of men who knew noth
ing about him. He might even lie—
She started to her feet in an
agony of terror. Then, with a sharp
self-reprimand, she sat down again.
"For his sake I must keep sane," i
she niuttcred.
For His Sake
Slowly she read the closely writ
ten pages. Investigation of the
course the bullet had taken showed ;
that the wound could not have been J
self-inflicted; at leust, that was i
what the coroner's jury decided.
"We know they are wrong." John
wrote, "and truth must conquer
eventually. Chapin shot himself. I I
do not know wether this was ac- I
cidental or not. It may have been j
that he was crazed by rage; perhaps j
he took up the pistol with the idea'

It is unnecessary for you to suffer
with eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes
and similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
SI.OO for extra large bottle, and prompt
l#PPh cd will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. It cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating,
disappearing liquid and is soothing to
the most delicate skin. It is not greasy,
is easily applied and costs little. Get
it today and save all further distress.

Itching, Terrifying Eczema?
This Question Is Ever on the
Lips of the Afflicted.
Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas, and
other terrifying conditions of the
skin, are deep-seated blood diseases,
and applications of salves, lotions
and washes can only afford tempo
rary relief, without reaching the
real seat of t-he trouble. But just
because local treatment has done
you no good, there is no reason to
despair. You simply have not
sought the proper treatment, that is
within your reach.
You have the experience of others
who have suffered as you have to
guide you to a prompt riddance of
blood and skin diseases. No matter

I pulled the trigger.
"Yet it is strange that I do nol

It is all like an awful dream to me.
1 know my explanatin sounds insane
and ridiculus. it will sound so to
the jurors wh will try my case.
"You and Mrs. Chapin will be
called as witnesses, of course. I
wish I could spare you'all this, my
darling. My fear is not for myself,
but for you—fear that this shock
will make yoy 11, fear that you are
wretchedly unhappy. I am thank
ful your brother is coming. You
must do just what he tells vou to
do.
"Meanwhile there are the count
less delays of the'law. You have
heard of them. So have I. I have
spoken lightly, jestingly of them.

"Do not worry about me, dearest.
I am comfortable here in this little
country jail. Later, of course, I
do not know, and I must be patient
and await developments. I will try
to write you regularly.
Xo Self-Pity
"Write to me if you can, please
dear. I will tell the man who
takes this to wait for an answer."
Then there followed repetitions of
his love for her and his regret at
what he was causing her to suffer—
his desire that she try to be happy
in spite of all that had happened.
Xot a word of self-pity. Not a
word of his fear for himself. And
! his life was in danger.
Elizabeth sat motionless for some
time. She felt unable to make any
muscular effort. At last she dragged
herself to her feet. Her limbs were
numb, her brain dazed. But she
must force herself to write some
thing to this man, who depended
upon her love.
Seating herself at the table, she
took a sheet of paper out of the
drawer and. with unsteady fingers,
scribbled a few lines.
There was such a blur before her
I eyes that she could scarcely see.
I John must not suspect this.
"Darling." she wrote.
(This term of endearment came
I naturally from her pen. It was as
|if she and John had been married

! course.)

Unlocking her door, she went on

McAdoo Demands That
Wilson Shall Be Dictator
Washington. Oct. 28.—The storm i
iof political fegling occasioned by \
President Wilson's appeal to the !
! country to vote for none but Demo- !
j cratic candidates, was increased last
night by a statement from Secretary'
McAdoo. the President's son-in-law, i
which is declared to he a supplement
to that of the President.
in this Secretary McAdoo argues
that all authority placed in Congress
by the constitution shall be abrogat
ed by the voters In the coming elec
tion.
Mr. McAdoo's specific (declaration
is this:
"The President, who is oomman- \
der-in-chief of the army and navy
of the United States, giust not have !
! the authority divided in the United j
! States between the Congress on the
' one hand and himself upon the ;
f other."
Congress is the body Mr. McAdoo ]
is discussing here, with no reference ;
i to either Republican or Democratic i
i control. He proceeds, however, to j
explain that the abrogation of the
authority of Congress can be ac- |
complished by the election of a Dem
ocratic majority in both houses,
which obviously means that there
will be no exercise of authority by
the Democrats, but absolute dicta
tion of legislative action by the
President.

President of the Parents Association.
You never see a child continue long)
j any line of action after he finds it |
! doesn't get the desired results. In |
this respect, children often are more i
sensible than their parents.
Take the habit of teasing, for in- |
stance. One mother writes to me: |
j "Our little daughter expects us to.
play with her all the time. She acts!
very naughty if we don't play with I
her every time she wants us to, which]
i of course isn't always possible. Please!
I advise how to overcome her disagree- i
j able habit."
Simply set aside a certain amount
i of time—say, five minutes —and let
the child understand at the beginning
; of the five-minute period that at the
end of that time you will have to go
Ito work. Once or twice at least be- j
fore the time is up, remind her about!
I how many minutes more _you can I
! p|ay. Then, just before you leave, it I
; is a good idea to have her do some j
, stunt for you. .Say. "All right, we'll |
( do this two more times together and
' then I must go." Just before execut- j
ing the last stunt, announce that it,
will be the last. Immediately after |
; doing it, start to leave and even ;
l though the child keeps on talking,
continue walking toward the place
where you are going to work. Never
j go back and do another stunt after |
, you. have executed what you said
would be the last. The child may
tease some at first, but if you carry
out this policy absolutely, she soon j
will discontinue it naturally.
It will aid you in solving your prob- I
lent to furnish her with some mould- |
ing clay, out of which she can make
little pies and cakes. Make it a

' hEV. EDWARD E. CURTIS
The Rev. Edward- E. Curtis, for |
seven years pastor of Westminster!
Presbyterian Church and prior to
coming to Hatrisburg for nine years
jiastor at Chestnut Level, Lancaster 1
county, died of pneumonia at his'
late home, 1502 Green street, yes-!
terday morning. He had been!
i seriously ill for six days. His wife,
too, is seriously ill. Word of his
! death was yesterday communicated
| to the officers of Carlisle Presby
tery. The Rev. George Fulton,
stated clerk of presbytery, referred
to the death of the Rev. Mr. Curtis
,as a calamity to prsbytery. Funeral
services likel / will be held on Wed
nesday morning. Necessarily, be
icauso of the ban on public funerals,
I the services will be private, being at
tended only b/ members of the ses-
Ision of Westminster Church, who
! will be pallbearers. Burial will be
j at Chestnut Level, within the bounds
I of the Presbytery of Lancaster.

| legists Institute, that Mr, Curtis was
| invited to till the pulpit, the congre.
] gatlon beinr advised of the success
'of the pastorate in Lancaster
county. The call followed, and the
Itev, Mr, Curtis began a pastorate
that was characterized by untiring
work, Members of Westminster
Church who discussed the death of
their pastor yesterday did so ia
I as to what she might make and then i
I approve her in due time for her ef- |
I forts. Not only furnish her with in- |
j teresting things to occupy her atten- |
t tion, and suggestions to carry on, I
I but it is quite essential to show aj
| great personal interest in her affairs)
I and be enthusiastic about her doings. .
I Don't be afraid to use suggestions. 1
If you want her to like to play alone, ]
1 talk to others in her presence übout ]
! what a fine time she has playing she I
j is baking pies, taking her doll to I
I church, etc. Frequently during the •
j day when she is playing contentedly,
near you, make remarks about how j
| she likes to play at whatever she i
I happens to be doing. These sugges- I
! tions will have their effect.
| One may very quickly cure the teas
i ing child by using firmness in the
1 proper way. Too often we have ex- j
I press ions like this: "Won't you ever
i get through teasing?" or "Don't try
! to tease me all day. can't you see I'm !
busy?" or "Do you want to worry j
[ the life out of me when I have so
j much to do?" But these all suggest]
I fault-finding. % Sueh expressions also ]
I tend to make the child think of him
! self as being a teaser and a nuisance |
which is by no means desirable. And ;
these expressions also suggest weak- j
I ness.
The better idea is to make no sug- !
, gestions whatever that the child is '
! not the best friend you have, but in ]
i a most calm manner, let the child
i understand that teasing doesn't work
with you and that you won't have it
I done around you.

parent and child will be happier as a
• result of this new policy.

tinctively a pastor who mingled with
his people. He had made the mid
week prayer service unique and it
, was his custom during the months ]
] that followed the entrance of West
! minsteh boys into the war to have
special services of prayer In their
] honor.
I Because of the serious illness of
Mrs. Curtis, who was stricken with
I pneumonia last April at the conclu
sion of the meeting of Presbytery, I
held in Westminster Church, Mr. j
Curtis had been under a severe men- ]
tal strain. When the epidemic in-;
vaded the homes of his parishioners i
he in no wise relaxed his 0 bors in
ministering to the sick. It is be- ]
lieved the task was more than he;
could bear and he went down under;
the burden. Although feeling badly 1
on Friday prior to taking his bed he 1
would not give up, and it was not;
until the following Sunday he gave!
way. His last official act was to)
send notices to tHe members of the I
congregation appointing a meeting J
for the coming Wednesday evening, !
at which time the congregation was
to be asked to join in petitioning'
Carlisle Presbytery to dissolve the
pastoral relations. Because of Mrs.
| Curtis' condition he had accepted!
I the pastorate of the Presbyterian j
[Church at I,es Vegas, New Mexico,
where he hoped change of climate I
'would benefit Mrs. Curtis. He had!
[made all plans to leave Harrisburg
;nnd was to have departe.d within a
i few days.
j The Rev. Edwin E. Curtis was 4 6
I years old, a graduate of Princeton]

lof the theological seminary of the !
I class*of 1902. Several years ago he '
married Miss Harriet Jeffers, daugh-]

I supported the 'war measures' pro- j
I posed by his administration, although !
] they have done so with greater unan- j
i'mity than the members of his own i

i Mr. Taft declares in carefully meas- j
j ured words, is not true.

lY'ou know it."
j "A more ungracious, more unjust,
i more nnnton, more mendacious accu
sation was never mnile by (he most
reckless stump orator, much less by n
president of the I nlteil Stntes for par
j tlssn purposes.
[ "It is an insult, not only to every
loyal Republican In Congress, but to
| every loyal Republican in the land.
] It fully merits the resentment which
rightfully and surely will find ex
pression at the polls.
Why Wilson In Partisan
I "Mr. Wilson grudgingly admits that
| the Republicans have been 'pro-war,'
1 Then why doerf he demand their de
-1 feat? Because they are still pro
! war? Hardly that. No. It is be-
I cause they are for peace through,
' not without, victory, because they do 1
] not believe lasting peace can be ob- j
! tained through negotiations; because
| they consider that 'U. S.' stands for
1 unconditional surrender as well as for
j the United States and Uncle Sam.
I The Democratic Congress does not.
There is the issue as clean as the
noonday sun. The country will de
cide.
"Mr. Wilson wants only rubber
stamps, his rubber stamps, in Con
gress. Mr. Wilson says he has 'no
thought of suggesting that any-poli
tical party is paramount in matters of
patriotism,' but he does suggest it,
and he suggests further that he alone
is paramount in Intelligence."
Continuing, Mr. Hays declared one
of the President's purposes is to se-
I cure power to settle the war "pre-
I cisely as he and his sole unelected,
unappointed, unconfirmed personal
adviser may determine." ' Another
purpose he attributes to the Presi
dent i commitment to free trade
] with the world, "thus giving to
Germ. out of hand the fruits of a
victory greater than she could win
j by fighting a hundred years."
! "A Republican Congress, says Mr.
] Hays, "will never assent to that. Do
| you want a Congress that will? Ger
: many does. Germany looks to Mr.
j Wilson to get it for her, as he pledg
' ed himself to do in one of few of his
j famous articles which Is explicable,
i Germany understands that,
j "See the New York World, spokes

: their only salvation. They have turn

! one great political leader who can
Ibe trusted to make a permanent
peace, which shall permit equal eco

THE WHY TO USE VMUB
FOR SPANISH INFLUENZA
The Influenza Germs Attack the Lining of the Air Passages.
When Vapoßub Is Applied Over Throat and Chest, the
Medicated Vapors Inhaled Loosen the Phlegm, Open the
Air Passages and Stimulate the Mucous Membrane to
Throw Off the Germs.
Most authorities now agree that
what we call Spanish Influenza is
simply the old-fashioned (trip, which
was epidemic here in 18S9-90. The
influenza germs enter through the
nose and mouth and attack the lin
ing of the air passages nose,
throat and bronchial tubes.
There is no cure or specific for
this disease, but Nature will throw
off the attack, if only you conserve
your strength. A competent physi
cian should always be called. The
use of Vapoßub does not interfere
with any internal treatment and it
is now being used by broadminded
physicians everywhere, in order to
stimulate the lining of the air pas
sages to throw off the grip germs,
to aid in loosening the phlegm and
keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier. Hot,
wet towels should be applied over
the throat, chest and back between
the- shoulder blades to open the
pores. Then Vapoßub should be
rubbed in over the parts until the
skin is red, spread on thickly and
covered with two thicknesses of hot
flannel cloths. Leave the clothing
loose around the neck, as the heat
of the body liberates the ingred
iants in the form of vapors. These
vapors, inhaled with each breath,
carry the medication directly to
• lie parts affected. At the same
time, Vapoßub is absorbed through
and stimulates the skin, attracting
the blood to the surface, and thus
