The police waiver between a theory of rob bery and a belief that a lunatic seized the woman and crushed her skull. Gooseberries as a Tonic A supposed authority strongly recom mends gooseberries, cooked, of course, as a tonic better than the finer berries generally in the market.

WANT ROAD SUPERINTENDENT Supervisors in Session Here Endorsed the Plan At their afternoon session the Dau phin county supervisors, in annual con vention in the Court House here ves terday, sanctioned the framing of a bill to be presented to the next Legis lature, under which may be created the office of county road superintendent. The superintendent would have charge of all road-building in the coun ty. Some opposition was expressed by a few supervisors to the plan, based upon the claim that it would be cre ating "another fat job."' The measure will be drawi so that the'power of se lecting the superintendents would " be vested in the township supervisors. PIMPLES ITCHED SO COULD NOT SLEEP On Face and Arms. Looked Like Hives.

STOUCH Continued From Flrat Page. enemy Christianity hns. Nobody can be born again by simply joining a church. If only you church people could rob yourselves of your false security. "Then too, a man cannot be born again by being confirmed. I have noth ing to say against confirmation. I wish more Protestant churches would give their new members instruction. But confirmation will never change a man's heart. You cannot be born again by confirmation, in a Catholic, an Episco palian, a Lutheran, or any other kind of a church. Not Everything in Environment /"Neither can a man be born again by different environment. Environment never kept a man from being a Chris tian, and never made a man one. A good home's all right. I wish that every fellow had a little home of his own, with a nice bath-tub and a good moth er-in-law. I hope every fellow gets a raise. But environment isn't every thing. Adam and Eve had a good en vironment and went crooked. All Adain had to do was to dress the garden, and I guess he had angels helping him to do that. Eve, she didn't have to cook or anything. She just picked pies from the trees like a baby has a nipple dropped into its mouth. "I tell you goo i environment won't do it. The crookedest people in this town are the ones that live up along the river bank. Er, now wait, wait, how can I modify that? I've gone and' spilled it now. Oh, I've got it, they are among the crookedest people in" the town. The more money a man gets, the cfookeder he gets if he lacks religion. Look at Harry Thaw and his bunch.

I believe that baptism is an ordinance of God, and must be. But do you mean to tell me that you can put a little wa ter on a man outside and clean him up inside, holy water or any other kind of water? T don't care if you go clean under water, if you immerse. If some body would use big mops on you, some of you old rascals wouldn't clean up your souls. Don't. believe all that is said about baptism. Some qf those old Bible commentators were bug house.

Sertd 'em all to Harvard, he said. We'll fix 'em up so they'll be all right. Shortly after that, a Presby terian minister in New York asked Dr. Elliot from his pulpit to tell him why it was, if educaton would do every thing, that whenever Harvard came to New York to play football they had to put an extra force of policemen around the saloons, the gambling joints and the brothels.

Sympathy With Sufferers Probably nothing is more stimulating and genuinely tonic to sufferers, espe cially those with chronic ailments, than the feeling that in spite of their own helplessness they themselves can still be helpful to others. The Shut-in so ciety iti this country has made life more bearable for many persons who are confined to their rooms or their houses. Nothing disturbs a certain class of patients so much as to be con stantly in contact with those who are in good health and strength and whom they can scarcely help but envy. To be brought into touch with those for ■whom they themselves can feel is a precious source of consolation and up lift. Pity is a luxury to be enjoyed; but no human being likes to be pitied or to feel that he is an objoct of pity. To be conscious of some advantage in one's situation over that of others is of itself an alleviation for many sick nesses.—Journal American Medical As sociation. 3
