"Too tired to go up to Val's for a bridge game to-night?" asked Jim the second evening after his return. "Not a bit," I replied. "Shall 1 phone and ask if they want us to come?" "No need of that," said Jim. "I fixed it up to-day." "Then why couldn't Val have tele phoned and asked me if I liked the arrangement?" burst from me be fore I could stop and consider the unwisdom of so revealing my feel ings. "Come, come, my dear, don't get mad because Dane and I make up a little party and take our girls for granted," replied Jim easily; and at once I relented, ashamed of my burst of temper and the quick flare of jealousy all about nothing. "I'll be ready in a jiffy," I said. "Just let me give my nails a "polish, so they'll shine at bridge even if I don't." "Vanity—'Vanity, thy nam is woman!' " misquoted Jim, e<#.iing to my dressing table, however, and holding out his hands for a little buffing. In a minute our preparations were made: and, in the laughing mood our stunt induced, we raced up to the elevator and up to Val's. \ Dane answered our ring: and, in j the very breath with which he greeted us, the big brown bear turned and flung out a seemingly | admonitory: "It's Anne and Jim, folks!" There was a scuffling and moving 1 about of things, almost as if this were a warning. And it seemed to ' my alert nerves that Dane held us in ! the hall a moment or two. Then \ al swept out and welcomed us roy ally. "When we got into the living room there were Uncle Ned and 1 Aunt Mollie. and Val followed their ! hearty greeting with a little I apology: "If I'd understood you were com- j ing I'd have insisted on having you ' in for dinner." I turned to Jim questioninglv. ; Had I caught him in a fib? If I had, I he displayed no guilty or apologetic conscience about it, for he said i easily: Harmless Means of Reducing Fat Many fat people fear ordinarv means for reducing their weight.

Pimples and Skin Eruptions Danger Signs of Bad Blood Avoid Suffering by Heed ing These Warnings. Pimples, scaly, itching skin, rashes and burning sensations denote with unfailing certainty a debilitated, weakened and impure state of the blood. The trouble is in your blood and no matter how you were infected, you must treat it through the blood. It is a blood disease. You must use S. S. S. if you expect certain relief. For cleansing the system, nothing is equal to it. The action of S. S. S. is to cleanse the blood.

Are the Willoughby girls, or whatever their name is, j coming in for bridge?" i "Did Dane promise you that to j lure you here?" asked Val, smiling I indolently at Jim iri the provocative ; way I'd forgotten. "No; 1 didn't ask j them. Anne and Aunt Mollie might have a rubber or two with Uncle ! Ned and my big brown bear while i you and I discuss—things." i There was a hardly perceptible ! pause before the last word. It made j me uneasy—stirred emotions I had j barely gotten under, control and didn't want to risk rousing again. "I'm game!" said Dane, getting ; out the .bridge table promptly and ; without consulting his guests about ; their preferences. "And I challenge j those championship players known |as Pettingill to a match with the ! fair Princess Anne and me. Are ; you on, folks?" "If my bride is in form I hate to think what she'll do to you," said Uncle Xod. "I need her to inspire the old man—he's kind of taken up with other ideas to-night. Excuse me a minute before we start, chil dren" Saying this, he went over and whispered something in Jim's ear which caused my boy to laugh and pat Uncle Xed reassuringly on the back, with a murmured confidence to Val. My first uncomfortable sensations returned twofold. I felt completely out of things. Evidently Jim and Uncle Xed—having been off on a trip together—had things in com mon which Val and Lane and Aunt Mollie. who had also been a-holi daying in company might share. Hut I was an alien to their secrets, and no one was kind enough or courteous enough to think of trying to make me feel in things and so more at ease. "Rridge isn't my game!" I gasped in chagrin a while later. Lane, my partner, had doubled Aunt Mollie's no-trumper: and, after I failed to take him out in my long est suit, he declared two diamonds, which I, with good spades in my hand, let go by. Then Uncle Ned jumped the bid to three hearts; and I was too frightened—or too intent on the earnest conversation between Jim and Val—to gamble on my spades or Lane's diamonds, of which I held three. Of course it turned out that Aunt Mollie held no spades, and Uncle Xed had no diamonds. So they established a cross-ruff and, trumping our best cards, made four tricks and the game. I was too upset to care. But I hated to spoil Lane's game; and when he took it very nicely I felt worse than ever. Then I had what seemed an inspiration. "Someone else cut in and let m,e out," I said. "Supno>-s you and I cut out and have >. little chat, dear," said Aunt Mollie unsuspiciously. There was a quick exchange of through the system direct to the seat of the trouble —acting as an antidote to neutralize the blood poisons.

Give Uncle Ned and me a chance to trim these Cosby's." "Oh, you're going to be my part ner, Jimmie! And when I'm dummy you three boys can talk over—cer tain plans—while I keep Anne and Aunt Mollie from listening in," said Val creamily. My brain whirled. This tone of complete understanding toward Jim —this acknowledgment that there was something in the wind from which they were all in league to shut me out! What could it mean? How could people like Uncle Ned and Aunt Mollie tolerate it? And yet here it was going on under their very eyes, and seemingly with their very sanction. "I won't be jealous! I won't!" I told myself, fighting a hard and losing battle. (To Be Continued.) King Albert's Tree in the Capitol Park a Wonderful Specimen The one lasting memorial of the notable visit of the Belgium royal party to Harrisburg is the memorial tree planted by the King in Capitol Park to the east of the main entrance. The tree is known botanically as larix europoea or European larch or tamarack. As its name implies it is a native of Europe, but thrives fully as well in its adopted country. It lives to very old age and under con genial surroundings grows to a height of 100 feet Its pyramidal habit of growth causes it to be a stately impos ing tree, standing out distinctly among the more common forms of trees. The larch is known as a deciduous evergreen ; It has many of the charac teristics of the conifero or cone bear ing trees, yet it drops its leaves in the fall like the oaks, maples, etc. The cypress and the gingko with the larch are the three trees hereabouts in this unusual class of deciduous evergreens. These form the interesting link between the real evergreens and the deciduous trees. , The tree planted by the King Is about fifteen years old. It was grown from seed at The BerryhiU Nursery just four miles from where it now stands, hon ored by Royalty. It was moved to Its present location with a large ball of earth and every precaution was used to insure its growth. Ordinarily the European larch retains its leaves until late fall or early winter. Because of the shock of transplanting, the tree this year will doubtless drop its leaves much earlier than usual. It is no sign of alarm, therefore, but the very natural method for the tree Is to adjust itself to its new surroundings and prepare for many years of life and growth. It was a notable event for Harrls burg to have the King of Belgium plant its Arbor Day tree, and no more appro priate or beautiful tree could have been selected. William Evans One of Tlyee Men to Die in State's Electric Chair By Associated Press. •Bellofontc, Pa., Oct. 27. —For the first time since electrocution was made the death penalty In Pennsyl vania, three men to-day were sent to the electric chair at the Western Penitentiary at Rockview. They were William Evans, col ored, of Dauphin county, who killed Rufus Gillam in Harrisburg; John Sandoe, of Lancaster, who murdered 4-year-old Anna Mary Hershey, and Gregory Pharos, of Lancaster, who murdered Peter Mormous. Evans was taken to the chair at 7.05, Sandoe followed and Pharos was last. It was 7.29 when the last man was pronounced dead. Sandoe's body has been qlaimed by relatives, while Evans and Phar os will be buried in the penitentiary cemetery. Lift off Corns! Doesn't hurt a bit and Freezono costs only a few cents.

Mo humbug! eARRIQBUKG TELEGRAPH NEW CLUB TO BOOST CITY'S DEVELOPMENT Nearly A Hundred Businessm en Enroll in New Post of Pro- tective Travel ers Association Almost a hundred of the livest boosters in Harrisburg assembled in ( the ballroom of the Penn-Hurris | Hotel Saturday evening to organize, a post of the Travelers Protective, Association of America. Those pres ent were the guests of Horace L. Wiggins, manager of the Penn-Har ris and George D. Wcfrthington, as sistant manager, both of whom have; been identified with the association for many years. The ballroom was decorated as j never before and because of its au tumn colorings evoked all manner of 1 pleasant comment. The table was arranged in the form of a horse shoe and inside the oval the floor was covered with autumn leaves, pumpkins, shocks of corn, and other decorative features suggested by the season. Candelabra lighted the tables until later in the evening, when the organization work was in order, and a flood of light was turn ed on. During the dinner a young woman singer rendered a number of selections artistically and was fre quently recalled. An orchestra also played, throwing a lot of pep into its program. Martin W. Fager, after the menu had reached the coffee stage, an nounced the purpose of the gather ing to be the organization of a Har risburg post of the Travelers Pro tective Association and immediately the business training of those pres ent was demonstrated in the rapid fire motions and resolutions which were presented. First came a motion to appoint a committee on nomina tion of officers and while the music entertained the diners tljis com mittee retired and presently report ed the following nominations, all of which were manifestly acceptable and were chosen as the first officers of "Post R." of this city: President, Arthur D. Bacon; first vice-presi dent, Martin W. Fager; second vice president, R. E. Cahill; secretary and treasurer, George D. Worthing ton; directors, F. S. LaChance, C. E. Kennedy, H. H-Lentz, J. A. Hudson, ,H. S. Martin, T. E. Cleckner and A. W. Myers. When Mr. Bacon had been escort ed to the chair he spoke of the good which had been done by the T. P. A. and was certain through the organiz ation and co-operation of its mem bership here much might be ac complished. He dwelt upon the re sults of the of the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Club in Har risburg and predicted another center of boosting a.ctivity in the new Har risburg post. "Bring Home the Baeon" L. F. Neefe, president of the Kiwanis Club, was among the guests and also spoke enthusiastically of the splendid results of the co-opera tion of the various boosting organiz ations of the city. "These always bring home the bacon," said he, "and we'll help you to help us to make Harrisburg the best city in the coun try." This sentiment was applauded. E. J. Stackpole, president of the Chamber of Commerce, presented the greetings of that body and pointed out the substantial benefits to the community of the various organiza tions to which the previous speak ers had referred. He felt that with these co-operating agencies the Chamber of Commerce would be enabled to accomplish more for Har risburg than it has ever accomplish ed before. Dwelling upon the im portant asset of good fellowship in any city, he predicted for the Har risburg post of the association a future worthy the aims of the or ganization. He also declared the fact the Penn-Harris was the home of the new post was in Itself an augury of success as within its walls the very spirit of progress which now inspires the activities of this city had its abiding place. He urged all present to sing the song of Harris burg wherever they went and to learn intimately of what is being aimed for in this city and be able as a result to spread abroad its ad vantages and attractions Mr. "Wiggins and Mr. Worthtngton were called upon and modestly told the Inspiration of the organization and how they had jointly taken the initiative in establishing the Harrisburg post. Mr. Wiggins ex plained how he first became interest ed in the association as a boy in one of his father's hotels. He saw the Insignia of the T. P. A. and asking his father what the letters meant he was told that they stood for ' Travelers Properly Accommo dated." He felt that this was a practical interpretation of the let ters and ever since had kept in mind his father's translation of the insig nia. Lee s P r,n S. of Philadelphia. State president of the association, presented the charter of the new post in an interesting address in which he challenged the Chamber of Commerce to keep up with the Har risburg post in advancing the inter est* the city. The president of the Chamber accepted the challenge in behalf of that body and expressed the nope that the new organization would give stimulus and inspiration to the older business body. In 89 States Alexander McQullken. of Phila delphia, the State secretary, mad? a helpful and interesting address in which he stated that the T. P. A. . ■ was now organized in thirty-nine .states. He told of its many achieve | ments in the welfare not only of i its members but of the business community, mentioning the inter change of mileage tickets and the handling of trains to provide im proved service, especially where the number of passenger trains was re j duced to thedisadvantageof commer | cial men and the business interests i which they represented. He spoke jof Harrisburg as a wonderful city, declaring that no city in eastern I Pennsylvania had such a future be j fore it. He predicted a membership | for the Harrisburg post of at least a thousand. No post he thought had better prospects. William Adams, of Lancaster, chairman of the State membership committee, told of the rapid increase of the organization throughout the F'.ate and complimented Harrisburg as being a modern city which was attracting attention everywhere. He believed • the organization here i would be of great benefit to the city l in telling the story of its splendid | progress and its unusual advantages i from a business and residential point i of view. The next State convention will be held at York and the national con vention at Portland, Oregon. One of the main objects of the association is to (elevate the so cial and moral character of travel ers as a profession and to bring about the better acquaintance of members. It also aims to secure recognition from railroads and ob tain as favorable terms on trans portation and baggage as are* given to any other class of travelers, and to adjust all differences on an equitable business basis. There are also insurance features which are of benefit to the members in case of accident or death. Before the close of the evening many of those present pledged a large number of applications for membership at the next meeting. As a booster club the new post will be welcomed by all the other civic bodies which are pushing for ward Harrisburg to its certain des tiny as a leader among municipali ties of Pennsylvania.
