"The Ninety and Nine"

A simple, everyday. heart.touching
story Of the sort that concerns real
people and deals with real situations
and the realistics OF life instead of the
Representatives,, Is the kind that the
playwright has woven into an interest
ing rural drama in the Ninety and
Nine" which takes its theme. and ii.
tile from the farfamed hymn Of the
singing evangelist. Ira D. Sankcy. It
tells henrt.rending tale of fallen
man. drink ridden and Respondent and
his subsequent redemption through the
influence Of q noble and trusting We
man actuated by her love OF the man
and guided by that instinct that seems
to be woman's gift to see with the
eyes of love the spark Of manhood hid
den beneath an exterior crIme.coate.l
by the demon drink. The unwindine
of the love story and the dash OF ma
ture that the writer has inf;sed into
this stage rceation by his splendid
characters, makes It an offering OF
more than passing interest. 1t will

wards Pruntytown yesterday afternoon
between 8 and 4 o'clock by which Mr..
Adolyphus Yates. an aged and well
known resident Of Sand Lick, lost his
life. He had stopped at Keener's Lane
for the purpose Of feeding his horses,
and 1t is believed that after they had
eaten he had attempted to put the
brides back on them again when they
became frightened at something and
ran away. 81
The team was noticed by some par
ties as It tore along the road in the
direction Of Pruntytown and. when II
reached that place 1t was stopped.
Persons who lived nearby where the
team had been fed. saw them run away
and FASTENED to the place. They found
the remains OF Mr.. Yates lying in the
road a considerable distance from
where he had fed the horses and It
was evident that he had been dragged
quite a distance as he was badly
wounded. It was reported later that
his neck. had been broken and also
that one OF his legs was fractured in
addition to a number Of other injur-
los. /
Mr.. Yates Is one Of the best known
men OF the Sand Like section and
was popular all over the county. He
was man OF about sixty years Of age
and Is survived by his wife, three sons
and one daughter. One of his sons,
Homer Ystes. is manager Of the Mary
land Coal Co. store at Sand Lick and
another was |. Thamer Yates, who was
a candidate for the nomination to the
house of delegates.
1t Is not known exactly how the nc.
c'lent happened bnt It is understood
that an inquest will be held and an
effort made to determine what caused
1t. It is believed the horses became
frightened at a co"ple OF calves which
were in the wagon. thus causing them
to run away.

has found a peril in apples
They are the principal medium Tor the
propagation and spread of the destructive
house moth (Glycyphagus domesticus) ac-
cording to observations recently made.
The discovery was the result OF a plague
of moths at Cries and the villages sur
rounding It. The larvae were traced TO
the stores Of apples kept in the houses and
thence TO the trees themselves.
The larvae are found first OF all In the
apple blossoms. AS the fruit grows they
cluster In the conical depression about the
stem OF the apple.
When the fruit is taken INTO the house It
Is laden with the eggs. The propagation
of the eggs IS said TO be prodigious.
When the fruit is taken INTO the house
the eggs find their way into clothing.

ture and the insect is Matched out. with
the we'll known ru.nous results. The eggs
are also said to be the cause Of the white
nothing that is so often noticed on dried
fruit.
AS a result of the discoveries 1t Is urged
that apples never be taken into dwellings
without careful cleansing, and even then
they should never be kept in living rooms,
and the Feelings should be promptly re-
moved.

NEW YORK WOMEN THIN.

A real prince from far off Syria has
eorne to this country for the purpose
OF studying American women, and AFTER
a careful comparison with the women
s< other countries he has decided that
the average woman, especially in New
York IS too thin.
The prince. who is distinguished, not
enIy by hts rank, but by a professional
title as We'd, prefers them rat, md MS
advice to Americans is TO take a little
more time to living, rest occasionally
and add 100 pounds or two at the same
time to their weight. Prince TeWnk
BoIama Is more proud or his medlcai
profession than he is OF belonging 10
the nobility. He says In Syria women
prefer brains to titles and he suggests
shat II might be wise II the American
women would for an example to their
eastern sisters, whose standards ne
considers much more worthy. He thinks
IL would be well for them to adopt also
9he fashions of the Syrian women. They
have no wrinkles, he says, they nave
no worries. They spend their days in
accordance to the old adage. Laugh
and grow fat"
"Fatness is q mark OF beauty" DIR.
Tewhk says. and the most beautiful
face is that which is round and full like
the moon when she is I'm her glory. In
America the women are forever steam
ing their faces, dieting. and perform
ing all kinds OF acrobatic stunts to get
<fd or a few pounds hen If they only
knew II every one they lose they are
parting with just that amount OF
beauty. In Syria we think every wom-
an who has any claim on beauty at all
must weigh at least 175 pounds, n
the woman who SO rolls In fat that she
ts what you Americans call a regular
bunch OF pork would in our country
be considered much better to look at
than h one who is all homes and
angles"
Black moles Is another mark OF
beauty In Syria and the face that has
too or three of these little blemishes are
h ones that poets sing praises to and
lovers shower with their alteration.

fact that society women do not wear

New System of Making Wine,

FROM lne SollSuldi IecpOilS'
Wine germs, which make 1t possible
to duplicate the famous wines of Bor-
deaux, Burgundy or the Rhine, are
among the latest experiments OF sci
entists. The germs are obtained from
the dregs OF casks which lave con-
tanned genuine old wine, and those
for each particular brand are placed
for safek eeping in a substance pre-
pared from Japanese isinglass n
fruit juice. In the jelly-like mass the
germs soon establish a colony. When
needed, sufficient germs nay be placed
in a tube of steriliZed fruit juice. At
ter two or three days the juice will be
in full fern sntation with plentiful eff
fervescence. This process is said to
impart to the wine the a bouquet
and chara rteristics Of the wine from
which the germs originally came.

Every Sufferer.

Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony OF
its victims. Worst OF all, the ordin-
airy treatment cannot be relied upon
to cure nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that II a person Is
subject to these headaches there Is
nothing that can be done to prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack OF nutrition
the nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves Is through the
blood and 1t Is In this way that DR..
Williams Pink Pills have accom-
plished SO many remarkable cures.

several days. The pain was SO severe
