NEW USE FOR cHLoRoFoRM.
A Railroad Coachful of Passengers stupe.

Railroad Coachful of Passengers stupo-
fed to Facilitate Robbery.
When the first section of the east
bound passenger train No. s ON the Chi
cago and Erie pulled into the station
here the other day, the brakeman told
Policeman Haller, who was at the depot,
that all Of the passengers in one of the
day coaches had been chloroformed by
some unknown person. The passengers
consisted mostly of eastern people who
were on their way home from the
Worlds fair, and the train only stopped
OF a few places along the line.
After leaving Huntington the passen-
gers in the day coach all settled down in
their seats to take a nap, and after the
train left Decatur the brakeman was
passing through one of the day coaches,
when he detected peculiar odor and
noticed that the passengers were nearly
all sleeping heavily. Their sleep ap-
peared SO unnatural that the brakeman
grew suspicious, and going into one
of the sleepers, where there happened
to be doctor with whom he was &C
quainted, he asked the physician to go
into the coach and see if he could detect
anything wrong. The doctor complied
with his request, and going into the
coach Immediately detected the odor of
chloroform. The doors and windows
were opened, and in few minutes they
succeeded in arousing the sleeping pas
sengers, who fortunately had not
breathed enough of the drug to affect
them very much. They Were surprised
to learn that they had been drugged and
were very thankful for the brakeman's
timely discovery.
1t is supposed that after leaving Hunt
tington some one entered the car, and
finding the passengers already half
asleep had saturated the car with
enough Of the drug to make them sleep
soundly. He then went into another car
to wait for the chloroform to take effect.
Undoubtedly he would have returned to
rob the sleeping passengers had not his
scheme been discovered. The car being
closed tightly and unusually warm, in
all probability the passengers in short
time would have been at the mercy of
the chloroformer.-Lima Dispatch in
Cincinnati Enquirer.

How TO CARE FOR THE SKIN.

Other Wiseacres VIII Prescribe Different
Methods of Procedure.
A lady whose thick, sallow skin caused
unceasing worry consulted an eminent
physician as to a possible cure. His an
swer was more forcible than courteous,
swell, in the first place, go home and
wash your face and hands clean" Horri-
fed, she declared that she had washed
them several times during the day.
"What / mean is this-wash with soap
thoroughly" All! she had never used
soap on her face. When upon returning
home she used the soap, then rinsed in
clear water, she was quite mortified to
find her face actually dirty. In obedience
to the doctors advice, this lady pursued
the following course, which may prove
beneficial to others: Every night just be-
fore retiring she bathed face, neck and
hands thoroughly in soapsuds, using, Of
course, fine toilet soap; then rinsed in
clear water and dried the skin on soft
Turkish towel, rubbing until quite free
from moisture. IF any sign of roughness
or sunburn appeared, few drops Of
glycerin were rubbed in.
To do away with the oily appearance
the doctor prescribed this diet: Lean
meats, plenty Of fruit, vegetables in their
season (not cooked in grease), no pastry
or cake, brown sugar or molasses, but
oatmeal, cracked wheat, farina and the
like, sprinkled sparingly with white
granulated sugar. Three times a day
she stirred spoonful each of cream of
tartar and sugar into tumbler of water
and drank it, in order to cool her blood.
This was an agreeable medicine, both in
the taking and in the effect. All heat
or fat producing viands were forbidden,
as we'll as coffee with milk, chocolate
and beer. Plenty of outdoor exercise,
with veil to protect the face, this wise
doctor recommended; also indoor games,
such as shuttlecock and battledoor, to
stir the sluggish blood. In one year the
lady had a fine complexion, a clear, soft
skin and thoroughly healthful consti-
tuition. She both looked and felt years

The Extensive Arrangements For Physical
Training In One of Their Clubhouses.
Among the innovations at tho Berkeley
Ladies' Athletic club is hurdle jumping
under the direction of Miss d. M. Elliott,
one Of the regular instructors. In order
to become proficient in this branch Miss
Elliott has spent the past summer at
Chautauqua, taking a course of study
and training, and becoming familiar
with other new exercises and ideas as
well, which she intends to introduce
into the class work.
The Delsarte system is not generally
employed, the training being of heavier
character, though individual work Of all
degrees is undertaken where the pupil
requires special discipline to meet pecul.
lar physical needs. Each member is
entitled to q physical examination and
series Of measurements, and is expected
before entering upon her work to con-
suit with the medical director, DR.. Mary
Taylor Bissell, who will advise as to the
proper kind and amount of exercise TAX
en- in every case. Private lessons may
also be arranged for. Games are being
introduced this year for the young peo
pie.
Physical culture is becoming continu.
ally more popular among woman, and
the Ladies' club offers amplest facilities
for instruction and practice in every
branch. including cycling, swimming,
fencing, bowling, archery, tennis and
badminton. Many ladies learn to mount
and use the bicycle in the gymnasium as
they would not and could not elsewhere.
There are two swimming tanks. The
smaller one, with marble floor and walls
and ceiling of white and blue tiles, is con-
stantly in use, while bowling forms an
amusing as well as beneficial exercise.
A padded running track encircles the
large gymnasium like a gallery, eight
turns on it equaling mile. When not
occupied by classes, this large room af-
fords space for tennis, and the small
gymnasium may be marked off for two
badminton courts.
Both the rooms are equipped with all
desirable apparatus and appliances for
gymnastics and calisthenics, manufac-
tured under the direction of DIR. d. A.
Sargent of the Hemenway gymnasium
at Harvard university. Sets Of light
chest weights, rowing weights, Indian
clubs, dumbbells and French barbells
are provided for class instruction. A
dry swimming machine has lately been
invented, and the club authorities are
contemplating its introduction as part OF
the apparatus. Bazaar.

IT'S BEGINNINGS.

The First Thanksgiving Days That Were
Observed on This Side the Water.
The first thanksgiving service held
in North America was observed by re-
ligious ceremonies conducted by an
English minister by the name of Wolf
all in the year 1878 on the shores OF
Newfoundland. The reverend gentle
man accompanied the expedition under
Frobisher, to whom belongs the honor
of bringing the first English colony to
settle on these shores. This was per.
haps the first Christian sermon
preached and the first celebration OF
the Holy Communion in North
America.
The earliest record of any observance
of "a similar service within the present
territory of the United States was held
by the Popham colony, who settled at
Sagadahoc, on the coast of Maine, in
August, 1907. This service was con-
Quoted by the Rev. Mr.. Seymour. ac-
cording to the directions of the Church
of England for that Sunday. On the
10Th day of August 70. s., 1907, they
formally took possession of the New
World in the name of their sovereign,
and laid the foundations of a free
Christian state with prayer and thanks
giving. Their charter was unrolled
and read before all the people, after
which sermon was preached by
Rev. Richard Seymour. This was thir-
teen years before the landing of the
Pilgrims at Plymouth and three
months after the landing of the COM
pany at jamestown in Virginia At
the same time they held the first pop
ular election in the territory of the
United States. and the first officers
elected to govern an American COM
monwealth were chosen.
The Pilgrim Fathers anchored in the
harbor of Plymouth, Mass, Saturday,

upon what is called .'Forefather's
Rock" During the long dreary winter
which followed. forty-six of the one
hundred and one settlers died and had
been buried on the bluff overlooking
the place of their landing.
November Q, 1921, the ship Fortune
arrived bringing an addition of thirty
five persons. The Pilgrims had gatn-
cred their crops from twenty acres of
corn and from six acres &C barley and
peas; the cold weather had brought
into the harbor an abundance Of water

VI thanksgiving:

that not one of them could come!
After the first outburst of grief and
dismay was over. another perpleAity

with beds aired and beautifully made
up, to say nothing OF the dear old trun-
die bed and cradle brought down from
the attic for the baby grandchildren.
The plumpest. latest of little pigs was
ready to roast in the big brick oven, a
turkey that never could be surpassed
was ready for its oyster dressing, while
there were rows upon rows of tooth
some mince, pumpkin, apple and cram
berry pies on the pantry shelves. There
were cookies enough in the big stone
jars to last those blessed grandchildren
a month, on the lowest shelf, Just as
handy as could be for the little dears to
help themselves, to say nothing of the
frosted cakes and every thing that could

them to think of such thing since
