quent occurrence but for the tender
faces of many men, which will not
permit of shaving often. Heretofore.
nothing has been said in these columns
about poslam, a new skin discovery,
in connection with its use after shaw
ing. Its publicity and sales have been
confined almost exclusively to its re-
markable properties as an eczema
cure; it stops the itching at once and
cures the worst cases in a few days.
While the application of poslam after
shaving is one of its minor uses, sucn
as for pimples, the complexion, ETC..
shavers will find it a revelation, as it
does for abrasions, roughness, and Sc
were scrapings what 1t does for all
manner of skin difficulties-heals and
cures in a few hours. 1t is the only
article possessing real antiseptic and
curative value that has ever been ex-
plotted for this purpose, and will
soothe and tone up the skin az no
toilet preparation could possibly do.
Poslam can be had for fifty cents at
any reliable druggists, particularly
w. H. Sudhoff, who make a specially
of it. Or the Emergency Laboratories,
No. 80 West 25th Street, New York
City, will send trial supply free by
mail to any one who will write for

KaShryne is absolutely deaf and her
only means of understanding others
communications will be by having
language spelled into her hand. On
account of her lack of vision she can
not read lip signs. This makes her
teachers task doubly difficult and
they are hoping that she will develop
an acute sense of touch. which will
do her in good stead of the many fac
ulties she lacks.
The little girl has only been at
Mount Airy since June, but during the
short time of her stay she has become
a great favorite. and her progress is
being watched by DR.. Croulter and his
assistants with keen interest.
Kathryne is the daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. William L. Prick. of Harrisburg
She was not born deaf. sightless and
speechless. but lost her faculties as
the effect of sea bathing when she
was 5 years old. She is now 3 years
Of age. She is the only child afflicted
in this way who has ever been cared
for by the state of Pennsylvania, and
the fact that she is the common
wealth's ward is due to the interest of
Representative William S. Tunis and
Dr.. Crouter, who interested Governor
Stuart in the child's plight and led to
the introduction Of a bill appropriating
81, 900 for her education.

nominee last year for governor, came
into town last night looking fat and
well fed. He never looked better in
his life and bore every evidence Of
prosperity in its highest sense. Not

met him at the Claypool hotel while hs
was here.
It sounded little bit strange to hear
Watson tell about making a labor day
speech to the union labor hosts of Ter
re Haute. 1t will be remembered that
a year ago this time union labor in
Indiana was fighting him tooth and
toe nail, trying to defeat him in the
race for governor. Labor sent its
heaviest artillery into Indiana during
the campaign last year and system
attic campaign was made against him.
Speeches were made against him in
every county in the state by the labor
speakers He was denounced as the
enemy of union labor for his votes on
some of the matters that had come up
In congress. The fight against him
was bitter. Samuel Gompers came in

For This Reason st. Mary's
Congregation Hopes for
A Good Ending.
WERE 2 MORE ACCIDENTS
EMPLOYEES HURT WHILE At
WORK, BUT THOSE IN CHARGE
REFUSE TO DIvULGE NAMES OF
THE INJURED.

A good beginning, a bad ending
and vice versa is an old saying.
Judging from the delays and acct
dents which have occurred during the
construction of the new church and
parish house of st. Mary's congrega-
ton, the good is yet to come, for up
to date little but bad has befallen the
construction of the church.
What might have been two serious
injuries happened last week to two
of the employees. The names of eth
er of the two men would not be divul-
ged by the parties in charge of the
construction. They even denied that
the men had been hurt. Father Mat
tingly, pastor of the church was also
unaware of any accidents.
One of the men while employed
about the stationary engine had his
hand and face badly burned and one
OF the Pensioners stated that it was
indeed fortunate that he was not more
seriously burned. Something about
the engine blew out, letting out the
steam and boiling hot water. Two
or three days previous to this accident
one of the men had his foot mashed
by heavy stone falling on it.
The other delays and accidents
which would tend to emphasize the
fact that the church's good luck is
yet to come, was the almost fatal &C.
cident which befell Miss Bertha Mil
Ter last winter. She was buried, or
practically so, by a brick wall of the
old Hibberd property which was be-
ing torn down. Her companion Miss
Irene Hart was struck on the shoulder
but not seriously injured by a falling
brick.
Following the letting of the con-
tracts, long period of delay ensued
as a result of trouble between the ar
chitect and stone contractor, Marion
Mclaughlin. This difficulty was not
settled until recently.
The stone which Mclaughlin furn-
ished for the construction of the
church and parish house was not up
to specifications. It will be broken
up and used for walls between the
church and parish house. The stone
was valued at $4,000 but can not be
used in the construction of tie build
ings because the architect says it is
not up to the standard.

BY the modern scientific methods
pursued by DR.. A. L. E. Crouter. sup
erintendent OF the institution, the
child's capability Of articulation has
been discovered. and the attention Of
her teachers will now be focused upon
developing this latent power OF
speech.
Kathryne will be put in the hands
of capable speech teacher She will
be instructed by a gradual process.
which will require infinite pains and
patience. in the scientific system OF
phonetics. This means that she win
have to be taught the fixed positions
Of the vocal organs required to make
every sound in the English language;
that her lips will literally have to be
shaped for her into the required forms
and that the sound which accompan-
les the motion will have to be repeat
ed until she has mastered 1t. Then
will come the repetition of consonent
and vowel combinations which form
words.
Infinite Detail Is Needed.
The difficult part of this process for
the child's teacher Is that in order to
make the pupil understand the word
which she is pronouncing, that word
will have to be spelled into her hand
by means Of the manual alphabet, and
the object which It represents. II pos
sible, will be put where she can feel
it.
In this way only, by this detailed
and insistent method Of instruction,
can the little girl achieve the power
OF coordination between thought and
speech.
Kathryne has just returned to the
institution from a three weeks vaca-
ton with her parents in Harrisburg.
and her progress has been a marvel
to them. The last week of her holi-
day her teacher, Miss Julia Foley. who
is to her what Miss Annie Sullivan
was to Helen Keller-her eyes. her
ears, her intellect and her go-between
in all relations of life-spent with her
at her home.
This week was one of the most i'm
portant in the child's life. for II
brought to her a realization Of the
meaning Of home, and under Miss F'o-
ley's guidance she learned the names
and nature of the objects which SUI.
rounded her. Things which had been
familiar in her life before she went to
the institution became doubly signifi-
cant. The domestic side OF life was
suddenly flooded with meaning, and
Kathryne returned to Mount Airy with
an intensified appreciation of her
home.

In June an operation for cataract
was performed on Kathryne's right
eye by the wellknown oculist and
surgeon, Dr. William T. Shoemaker
and as result the little girl can nov
dimly discern large objects. and her
physical progress has naturally been
facilitated The glimmer OF eyesight
