Waiter Hunt and two companions
one a clild-while driving a Rambler
runabout on the crossway ON South
Broad Street last Monday evening, mar
rowly escaped a serious accident. In
making a sharp swerve to avoid a pedes-
TRAN the momentum OF the machine tore
off both tires on the left side and the
machine whirled into the fence along the
edge of Silver Creek. The strength of
the fence post alone saved the party from
a bed of water and mud under an over
turned machine. The repair kit was
quickly opened and in two hours the
party was able to proceed home.

THE FOURTH CELEBRATED.

Pedrlcktown citizens were joined on
the Fourth by scores of visitors from
~neighboring points in a general and en-
thusiastic observance of Independence
Day. The town was thoroughly astir
from end to end. Private homes and
business places were p~rofusely decorated
with flags and bunting. Early in the
day the small boy with the f~irecracker
and the good ladies of the NJ. Z. Church
with the Dominic were on the move-the
latter taking their way to the school yard
where the big chicken potpie dinner and
supper were in preparation. These
proved h grand success considering that
about $50 persons were fed.
The ball games in the morning and af-
ternoon drew big crowds and the Ped
ricktown boys are becoming far.famed as
players. Both games were won by the
home nine. Their new grand stand was
used for the first time and was opened by
the Mosacca Cornet Band, who were
with us all day and helped wonderfully
in the general celebration. Rev. S. K.
Moore presented to the Band a beautiful
banner as an act of appreciation for their
services.
So much occupied the day that the ex-
ercises appropriated were post p0ned I'M
til the evening. Senator James Strimple
was master of ceremonies. The Band
was present and gave a number of selec-
tions during the evening. There was al
so singing by the school children. Miss
Carrie HOFFMAN read the Declaration of
independence" followed by an Grafton

THE BAPTIST REVIVAL MEETINGS

are still going on. They were held in
the church until Thursday evening when
the tent services began on the Public
School ground in Pedricktown. The
tent is a new one and seats $50 to 300
persons. Evangelist George l.. Barker
is preaching powerful sermons, yet they
are so plain and simple that a child can
understand them. Mr.. Barker has the
ability to gain the attention at once and
hold it. His audiences last Sunday were
large and his preaching was pointed and
impressive. One of his strongest points
is his Illustrations most OF which come
from his wide experience, and everyone
of them is to the point and illustrates.
Next Sunday morning services will be.
held in the church. In the afternoon at
four o'clock there will be a meeting in
the tent on the School ground for men
only. The tent will be used Sunday
evening when there will be special music.
Everybody is heartily invited to be
present at the meetings. While the
meetings are held under the auspices of
the Baptist>church, yet the object is not
to make BaptIsts, but to win souls for
God, and to glorify His name SO the pub
lie is invited to attend and use their tai
ents in order that souls may be saved,
God Glorifed and the moral and Spirit

Corset Cancer"

Several cases of what is called cor
set cancer" are reported. 1t occurs in
women who are Obliged to use noes
sanity the right arm in their work
the whole day long, the growth ap-
pearing at the site of the greatest
friction. '.e.. Just above the upper edge
Of the corset. One woman so affected
was employed in a fur factory. her
work being to scrape the fur of rab-
bits skin with a blunt knife SO as to
make all the hairs of a uniform length.
Another woman had been employed In
a laundry ironing clothes. Cancer
would not occur in these cases unless
there was IA predisposition to it. Jet it
might be well for women VINO are
obliged to use their arms in a con
slant to and fro movement at their
work not to wear a corset when so
employed.

In summer time the air used for ven
tilating the house of commons In Lon.
don passes through blocks of ice. In
winter it is heated. In fog the outer
air passes through layers Of cotton
wool six inches thick. During forty
eight hours OF fog the cotton wool on
one occasion was as black as the back
OF chimney. Thanks TO these pre-
cautions, the house has been absolutely
free from mist, and the atmosphere is
In normal condition while dense fog

at the level of 62 degrees except in
