THE PLOTTERS
A New Serial of East and West
By Virginia Trrhune Van da Watrr
CHAPTER LVIU
A week had passed since Amos
Chapin's death.
Muhh had happened in that time.
The dead man's son had come on
rum Chicago and the funeral had
been held from the village church.
Dr. Douglas Wade had been re
lieved to learn that the services
were not to be at the house. He had !
feared-that the noise of equipages
and people coming and going would
disturb his sister, lying prostrated '
in her room upstairs.
For Elizabeth was ill. ller brother,
taking the place of the village phy- ;
sician who had been summoned by i
Mrs. Miller assured Mrs. Chapin j
that the attack was but the result '
of the shock of the farmer's death j
and of John Butler's arrest. He j
urged the widow to accept Mrs. Mil- !
ler's invitation to spend a few days
with her until affairs at the farm
could be adjusted.
Clifford returned to Chicago im- j
mediately after the funeral. He had '
his own reasons for not wishing to j
nteet Elizabeth Wade. He took it j
for granted that John Butler had
told the girl of the young Chica- \
goan's accusations. Clifford felt j
that he had made himself ridicu- '
lous. Therefore he remained at the j
farm only as long as decency de- i
manded. He must get back to busi- i
ness he explained to his mother,

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
and must lose no time in securing an
apartment in Chicago, where she
could make her home with him. This ,
project reconciled the parent to his
departure.
Thus it came about that the farm
was very quiet on the second day j
after the funeral. Douglas had en- i
gaged a woman from Midland to do
the housework for him and his sis
ter until the latter should be strong
enough to accompany him to the
West.
Slic Seeks the Truth
This afternoon Douglas had
brought Elizabeth down to the liv
ing room, where, propped by pil
lows, she lay, looking pale and lan
guid.
Her brother, seated near her, had
been reading to her when she spoke
with a suddenness that startled him.
"Douglass—l have kept quiet as
long as 1 can! 1 have seemed satis- '
fled with your assurances that'
things were progressing well in j
John's case. Now 1 am well enough ;
to ask questions and to receive an- I
swers. 1 have a right to know the ;
truth."
The young physician stroked her !
hand reassuringly. "I recognized j
that right as soon as you told me
that you and Butler were engaged," I
he reminded her. "Since then I have I
gone to Midland every day to see j
John, and have told you honestly 1
that he is looking well and behaving |
like a man."
"I understand that," with a slight
frown of impatience. "But 1 am j
strong enough now to know just j
what the evidence is against him. '
1 mean" —she paused, then hurried j
on —"he is going to be tried for the I
murder of Amos Chapin—isn't he?"
"Probably," her brother admitted.
"But it will be some time before all
the evidence is collected. Mean
while we know that he is innocent
and his innocence must be proved."
"What are the strongest points !
of evidence against him?"
"First, the fact that—as he and •
you and Mrs. Chapin acknowledge
—ho and Amos were quarreling
hotly at the time the shot was tired. '
Second, that the course of the bullet
shows that the wound could hardly |
have been and, third, !
that the pistol was lying, one chant- |
her empty, on the table where —the
prosecution will contend —it could j
not possibly have been laid by the ,
victim had he shot hiptself in the
head." i
"But," clasping her hands to- |
gether tightly, "could he not have |
thrown it there?"
"He must have done so," Douglas
replied.
She was silent. Her brother made
an effort to turn her thoughts tc
some other phase of the murder. !
He knew only too well that she ;
would not talk of matters entirely j
alien to the man she loved.
"By the way," he said, "there was I
a queer looking chap, a roreigner, •
prowling about here this morning. |

I He asked to see Butler. I explained j
; to hint that that was impossible, and
I he declared that he must have a j
: talk with you. He seemed so much
: in earnest that I told him he might
see you later. He begged to be al-
I lowed to come this evening—if you
■ are well enough to talk to him."
A New Thought
Elizabeth caught her breath in
consternation. "Oh, Douglas—l
can't! 1 don't want to see him. It
i must be Talak —that Polish farm
hand X wrote to you about —you re
member."
"He looked half-witted," her
i brother went on, "and scared, as if
j he expected someone to hit him over
j the head or jump at him from be- !
I hind a bush."
[ The girl tried to smile at his jest- '
ing tone. "He always looks like j
I that," she said. "I thought he'd j
gone away. Amos discharged him j
ten days ago."
"Well he said nothing about that, j
But he begged me to tell him all i
about Butler."
"And then what did he say?" I
Elizabeth questioned curiously.
"That John had given him money I
and that it was all gone, but he j
had not spent it for drink, or some- j
thing of that kind."
"Poor Talak," the girl murmur- I
ed. "He had a hard summer. He I
hated Amos."
"Why?" Wade looked up sharply. |
"Had he anything against him?"
"Yes," the girl nodded. "Amos |
shot his dog and cheated him out I
of his pay. Talak said he'd get j
even Oh, Douglas!" springing to j
her feet, "could it be *Oh!" j
wildly, "could he could he" !
Her brother caught her in his
arms. "Hush, hush, dear!" he warn- i
ed. 1 thought of it at the same
instant mystelf. There would be the |
motive, you see. And, by Jove!"
stopping suddenly.
"What!" Elizabeth quavered, j
"What do you mean?"
"Only," he said slowly, "that may
have been the reason why the poor
wretch burst into tears when I
told him that John Butler was in
jail for the murder of Amos
Chapin."

Prison Inmates Can't
Manufacture Munitions
inmates of the penitentiaries and
prisons of Pennsylvania can not be
legally employed in the manufacture
of supplies or munitions for the Unit
ed .States government because the re
cent act establishing the Prison Labor
Commission and regulating employ
ment of prisoners provides that they
may manufacture only for the state,
the counties or public institutions, ac
cording to an opinion given to-day by
Attorney General Brown to Eastern
Penitentiary authorities. Mr. Brown,
however, says that while the employ
ment of such prisoners on govern
ment work is at present restricted, "it
may he assumed thaC the Legislature
which will convene for its biennial
session within a few months will take
cognizance of the exigencies produced
by the participation of our country in
the world war and will provide such
temporary changes in our laws in this
matter and all others which will place
at the disposal of the federal govern
ment the full unrestricted resources
of the state, including the inmates
of our prisons, who, I am informed,
desire to aid their fellows on the out
side to win the war."

0 MAKING THE MOST OF /x
OUR CHILDREN
! A Series of Plain Talks to
# Parents
By Ray C. Beery, A.8., mm/
President of the Parents Association.
(Copyrighted, 1918, by The Parents Association, Inc.)
j Life itself is a game we all must
| play. And our success or failure
I depends in no small measure upon
! how we observe its rules.
Childish competitive games furn
! ish \practise for adult games and
i that child who is not properly taught j
i how* to play fair in these early, I
practise-games actually is handi- |
capped for life.
Let us consider a case. A mother j
writes to me:
"My eight-year-old boy does not I
! always play fair in games but wants
j to have his own way which often j
I irritates other boys."
There is only one really effectiive j
! way to teach fairness and that is j
j by example.
To. be very specific as to the way ;
j in* which the method may be ap
| plied, I will give you a personal 1
illustration.
I Several boys, approximately the j
j age of your son, were playiing a j
game of ball in a school yard {
through which I was passing. The;
boys wanted me to join them, and |
I did lor a few minutes. The first j
boy up to bat knocked an easy
"grounder" and he was "crossed
out," but the ball came so near i
going directly o\;er the first base j
lhat it left room for an argument.
The fielders after a loud protest let j
him go. Then going from first base
to second he was crossed out, and,
since no specific rule had been made
about, the runner turning his back
j to the ball, he again i called himself
j "spfe." And so these boys argued
I at every turn.
j Finally, it came my turn to bat.
! At this point we made new rules
j mostly against the batter. For ex- |
I ample, over the fence was "out," j
I the batter couldn't turn his back,
j the runner had to touch each base, |

LOUIS E. HOUSEAL
Louis E. Houseal, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Louis -J. Houseal, 1723 State
street, was killed in an airplane ac
cident at Shrewsbury Aviation Fields.
England, some time between Septem
ber 29 and October 4, according to a
message received by his mother this
morning.
Houseal was a member of the Two
Hundred and Sixty-second Aerial
Squadron, C. S. A. The message tell
| ing of his death came from the of
ficers of the squadron. Details of the
I accident werb not supplied.
Houseal was buried with full mlli
tarv honors October 4, in Shrewsbury,
I Parish, with the members of his]
; squadron in attendance. A letter dat
ed September 29, was the last word j
received by his parents before they [
were notified of his death. His name
has not appeared on the casualty lists.
Houseal enlisted December 12, 1917,
and was trained at Scott Field. Belle
ville, 111., before he sailed overseas.
Before he enlisted the was employed
on the Pennsylvania Railroad. He i
was widely known throughout the
city, where the news of his death I
comes as a shock to his many friends.
Surviving him are his parents and
two brothers, Ray M. Houseal and
Robert M. Houseal, who also live at
1723 street
etc. After I had struck the ball
and landed safely on first base, I
played off the base a little, while
the pitcher was about to throw the
bail to the next batter. However,
the pitcher threw the ball between
the second base and me —the ball
t crossed the line just after I had
I stepped back on the base. One boy
| near me yelled, "Out," and while
| I did not think I was, I grasped
; that situation as an opportunity to
j teach the needed lesson. "All
I right," I said, as I started imme
diately to leave my base for a fteld-
I er's position. Two or three other
J boys objected, saying that I was
) "sale a mile." But I said, "No,
| that's all right. Glenn was stand-
I ing near, where he could see, and
' he said I was out, so that's enough."
■ Attention was then quickly directed
'to the next "batter
j The next few times I went up to
i hat, I considered myself "out" at!
| the least suggestion made by any- I
I one and it was almost inspiring to
j see how quickly the previous man- I
I ner of yelling and arguing changed :
j to following the example set before
| them.
Some person will have to teach
j your boy fairness in a similar way.
j His father could do him an ever
lasting favor by giviing him a liittle
' time each day, playing games with
him and demonstrating the spirit
of fair play.
Exhorting on this subject without
example is well-nigh useless. But j
children greatly admire and are
influenced by actual demonstrations
of good will and fair play.
Teach your children always to
I show a fine, altruistic spirit toward i
I those about them, in work as well |
I as play, and you need not worry |
about their getting along in the
I world.

' porting the airplanes to France, j

The latest official compilatipns
show that since June 1, approximate
ly 2,500 fighting airplanes of all de
scriptions have been shipped to the
American forces in France. When it
is realized that none of the belliger
ents at any one time since the be
ginning of the war has had more
than 3,500 airplanes actually in sec
vice, the significance of an American
production of 2,50# planes In five
months becomes apparent.
These 2,500 planes Included near

STUART PRAISES
SENATOR SPROUL
Former Governor Speaks For
the Man From Delaware;
Provost Smith's Letter
Provost Edgar F. Smith, of the
University of Pennsylvania, and for
mer Governor Edwin S. Stuart yes
terday issued statements in which
they advocated the election of Sena
tor Sproul.
Provost Smith told of the aid of
fered him and other Americans who
were in London at the outbreak of
war in 1914 by Senator Sproul, help
ing them return to America.
"I have known Senator Sproul for
years and have always admired his
sterling character," said Provost
Smith.
In urging the election of Senator
Sproul, former Governor Stuart said:
"Sena'tor Sproul has managed his
own business affairs so well that his
career spells success. He has also
a comprehensive knowledge of what
is more essential at this time, and
that is governmental business, which
is the function of the chief execu
tive officer of the Commonwealth to
conduct and direct. This is abso
lutely essential, if we are to have
a wise and efficient management of
the affairs of the state.
"His experience of nearly a quar
ter of a century as a leader in a co
ordinate branch of the state govern-
I ment fully equips him for the work
' ahead. No candidate for the office
! during the last twenty-five years
has been so well fitted for the task
as William C. Sproul."
Central Pennsylvania Is
Ready For War Drive,
Early Reports Indicate
The reports of about thirty dis
trict executives from the ten coun
ties comprising the Sixth Pennsylva
nia district of the United War Fund
Campaign at a meeting in the Har
risburg Club this morning showed
that the work of organization pre
liminary to the beginning of the
drive is practically complete through
out the district.
The meeting was taken up with
discussion on the best campaign
methods that could be devised to
raise the district's SBOO,OOO quota.
Ever.vthihg is in readiness for the be
ginning of the drive, according to
the various reports received.
E. J. Stackpole, district chairman,
presided at to-day's meeting. The
meeting was for an interchange of
ideas, and the majority of the thirty
district executives present voiced
their opinions on organization plans,
and reported the progress of the or
ganization plans in their counties.
Practically all committees have been
appointed, their reports showed.
George Braden, of Philadelphia,
chairman of the speakers' bureau of
the Pennsylvania organization, ad
dressed the executives after luncheon
in the Harrisburg Club. Mr. Braden
has seen service overseas as a Y. M.

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLUER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and
•neutralize irritating
acid.
Kidney and Bladder weakness re
sult from uric acid, says a noted au
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
frpm the blood and pass it ort
bladder, where it often to
irritate and inflame, causing a burn
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night. The
sufferer' is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scald
ing sensation und is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in avoid
ing it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urinu
tion. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really ope of the most simple ail
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar
macist and take a tablcspoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast,
continue this for two or three days.
This will neutralize the acids in the
urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary
organs which then act normally
again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with
lithia, and is used by thousands of
folks who are subject to urinary
disorders caused by uric acid irrita
tion. Jad Salts is splendid for kid
neys and causes no bad effects what
ever. v
Here you have a pleasant, effer
vescent lithia-water drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.

This, advertisement is written on
Monday, October 21. It is directed
to' the attention of all disttibutors
of Vick's Vupoßub, both wholesale
and retail. In an emergency such
as the present epidemic, our duty
—and your duty—is to distribute
Vapoßub in the quickest possible
manner to those sections stricken by
Influenza. We, therefore, call your
careful attention to the following:
| DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP
PLY IS NOT CONSERVED
On October Ist we had on hand,
at our factory and in twenty ware
houses scattered over the country,
sufficient Vapoßub to last us, We
thought, until January 1, allowing
for a 50 per cent, increase over last
year's sales, and not counting our
daily output. This big excess stock
had been accumulated during the
summer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
fluenza hit us —and in the last ten
days this stock has vanished. At
first we thought this tremendous de
mand would last only a few days,
but the orders have run:
Wed., Oct. 16—18,504 dozen.
Thur., Oct. 17 —25,323 dozen.
Fri„ Oct. 18—39,256 dozen.
Sat.,, Oct. 19—45,833 dozen.
Mon., Oct. 21—77,705 dozen.
Up to Saturday, October 19th,
we have actually shipped for this
month 1400,284.10, or over two mil
lion jars of Vapoßub.
THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO RIS
: TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY
Most of this tremendous'quantity
is still en route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both con
gested nowadays, and It may be
some time before this supply reaches
the jobbers. In the meantime, there
fore, it is necessary that we distrib
ute, as widely as possible, the stock
that we are manufacturing dally, to
gether with that now on the Jobbers'
and retailers' shelves, in order that
it may get to the Influenza districts
quickly. Our normal output Is about
4,000 dozen per day. We are putting
on a night shift, but It will be a
little while before that is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE
DRUGGIST TO DO
Last Saturday we notified all of
our jobbers, by special delivery, as
follows:

ments of all kinds are can
celled. Fill no quantity or
ders of any kind, whether
taken by our salesmen or by

2nd—Order from us in as small

limited amount by parcel

3rd —In order to make distribu
tion still quicker, we will ship
direct to your retail custom
ers quantities not more than
three (3) dozem 30c size at
any one shipment.
4th —We are now out of the 60c
size and will be for the next
ten days.
WHAT WE ASK THE RETAIL
DRUGGIST TO DO
Buy in as small quantities as pos
sible. If you have any quantity or
ders, given the jobber's salesmen or
given to our salesmen, don't bother
about them—no need to write us—
it is absolutely impossible to fill
these orders at this time. If the
jobbers in vour territory are out of
Vick's Vapoßub, we will ship you by
parcel post, prepaid, quantities not
more than three (3) dozen 30c size
in any one order. Naturally, we
can't open accounts at this time, so

SNOWED UNDER WITH CORRE
SPONDENCE
Our force has already been "shot
to pieces"—twenty-four of our men
are wearing Uncle Sam's khaki —
and this recent rush has simply
buried us. All our sales force has
been called in to help in the office
and factory. We Just mention this
so you won't hold it against us if
your wires and letters aren't an
swered promptly.
SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON
SPANISH INFLUENZA
We will send, on request, to any
retail druggist 100 or more little
booklets, Just issued, on Spanish In
flucna, giving the latest informa'-
tion about this disease —its history—
the symptoms—the treatment, and
particularly the use of Vick's Vapo-
Rub as an external application to
supplement the physician's treat
ment.
NEW WAYS TO USE VAPORUB
In addition to the usual method of
using Vapoßub—that is, applied over
the throat and chest and covered
with hot flannel cloths—our cus- .
tomers are writing us daily telling
of their success in using Vapoßub
in other ways, particularly as a pre
ventive. They melt a little in a
spoon and inhale the vapors arising,
or melt It in a benzoin steam kettle.
Whore the steam kettle Is not avail
able. Vapoßub can be used In an
ordinary teakettle. Fill the tea
kettle half full of boiling water, put
in half a teaspoon of Vapoßub from
time to time—keep the kettle Just
slowly boiling and Inhale the steam
arising.
According to a bulletin Just issued
by the Public Health fe'ervice, Dr.
Stiles, of this service, recommends
that the nose be kept greased as a
preventive measure against the In
fluenza germs. For this purpose
Vapoßub is excellent.
