500 REWARD, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
it's stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only posi-
tive cure now known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing
it's work. The proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure

cancer is on the increase, according

from tuberculosis are fewer than
heretofore, but deaths from cancer
increased from 33,465 in 1908 to
1852 in 1909, and the death rate
increased from 74.3 to II.
The increase" the bulletin says,
was not largely for any particular
state or city, but the most impress

A Leader in New Thought.

Elizabeth Towne stands for that
which makes for greater growth and
greater happiness" writes Thomas
Dreier in Human Life for October.
"She reaches a certain class of
people. In her own field she is as
great as Mrs. Eddy is in hers. Eliza
beth Towne teaches folks to think
correctly, to understand and use
wisely their own forces, to conquer
doubt and fear, and to stand up as
fearless, Independent, efficient.
''She worships before action. She
wants things done. She is no mere
talker and writer-one content to
preach and never practice. Her own
business, which started twelve years
ago with thirty borrowed dollars and
which today enables her to crafty
her temperamental desire for a fine
home, trips to Europe and through
this country, clothes that appeal to
the feminine nature-well that is
the best proof that her teachings are
practical. That she is helping 9TH
ers live richer lives is something
anyone may lean from a single days s
correspondence. One letter came in
telling of a brakeman who had his
legs cut off in wreck. He cannot
live the doctors whispered. BY
God, l will he said. He told later
that he had been reading Elizabeth
Towne's writings, and had been
taught to fight against adversely He
lived.
Her editorials are homely things
They are not what a Harvard pro-
fessor of English would offer to his
class as models of literature. But
what is more important than liter
ary style is found in them. They
contain messages that, to use a West
ernism, get across"

THE ALLY OF THE DEMOCRACY

The New York Herald has Just
completed a painstaking investiga-
tion of the political conditions in
every state, with especial reference
to the fight for control of the House
in the Sixty-second Congress. It's
inquiries lead to the conclusion that
of the 39l districts, 118 must be
classified as doubtful or debatable.
The Herald adds:
But not only is the House of
Representatives at stake in this
election-the political control of the
Senate may also be involved"
In no other campaign since Bryan
divided the Democracy has that par
ty been so hopeful of victory. The
chairman of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee, Representa-
tive Lloyd, of Missouri, a few days
ago confidently predicted that the
Democrats would have a surprising
ly large majority in the next House
He included Pennsylvania in the list
of states he said would show a gain
for the Democracy. Mr.. Lloyd's
prediction regarding Pennsylvania
is based upon the hope that many
Republicans, assuming that the Re-
publican ticket is sure to win, will
neglect to vote and that others may

SAVINGS STAMPS
INSTEAD OF COIN.
Public Will Get Bright Yellow Paper
This Year i'm Place of Gold
Pieces

Washington, d. c., Oct. 1S.-Uncle
Sam as a source of supply for Santa
Claus has switched from gold pieces
to stamps. Up to this year the gov
ernment mints coined large quanti-
ties of two-and-a-half gold pieces
which were known among the treas
ury officials as Christmas money.
1t was decided this year to dis
continue the coinage of the gold
pieces and now Uncle Sam has plac-
ed an order for large quantity of
bright new yellow postal saving
stamps. These together with a pos
tai card upon which they are to be
pasted, represent a deposit in Uncle
Sans new postal savings bank. In
order to stimulate savings among the
youngsters of Yankee Land, Uncle
Sam has gone to great expense to
furnish an attractive stamp. 1t is
expected that there will be a great
demand for these stamps at Christ
mas time.
The card upon which the stamps
are pasted will cost ten cents and
will be in fact a bank book" 1t
represents the initial deposit of ten
cents. Each card holds nine stamps
which cost ten cents each. This
may be exchanged for dollar ceTti-
ficate.
With the use of the stamps for
Christmas presents will arise the
question of whether the postmasters
may be required or may lawfully
do mail order business" for the
postal savings system will only be in
stalled in one or possibly two post
Offices in each state this year.
This question has not yet been de-
cided by the officials. They are of
the opinion, however, that if the
mail orders for postal savings stamps
| do not reach a very big amount for
any one office it will be allowable
for a postmaster to fill mail orders
until more postal savings repositories
are established. Generally speaking,
however, the postal savings system
is not to be a mail order institution
and each man is to be required to
deposit his money in his home town
in order to keep depositors within the
legal limit of 500 month for pos
tai deposits.

The Republican who casts his bal
lot for the Keystone ticket must do
so with his eyes open. He must
know that he is voting for a Bryan
Democrat, who, if elected will do
everything in his power to advance
the interests of the Democratic par
ty in Pennsylvania and the nation
He must know that he is voting for
Democratic candidates for the Legis-
lature, who, if elected, will vote
for a Democrat for United States
Senator and for Democratic candi-
dates for the House at Washington,
who are pledged to join other Dem

bill. A vote for the Keystone ticket
will be a vote for the Democratic

INF ANT THIEVES.
The ReiSIer Lads Amaze
Justice ZelIer.
New York Youngsters, Aged Five and
Seven Years Respectively, Would
Visit Stores, Ask For a Drink of
Water and Rob Cash Register.

New York, Oct. 2O.-Justice Zeller
became amazed when he was told in
the children's court of the evil doings
of Max Reisler and his brother George.
Max is seven years old and George
five. Their home is at SO Dawson
street In the Bronx.
Their father, John Reisler, told JUS
tice Zeller that they were entirely be-
yond his control. They stayed out
late at night, he said, and when they
came in frequently brought as much as
$40 or $l5 with them. At first they
said they found the money, but he was
convinced that they had stolen it.
Detective Leiber of the Harlem de-
tective bureau was able to throw more
light on the probable El Dorado. He
had found the boys Tuesday evening
as they were running away from an
art shop at 107 West One Hundred
and Twenty-ffth street. Mrs. Ketch-
She said that the boys had gone into
the shop and asked for a drink of ice
water. While Mrs. Ketcham was in
the rear filling a glass for them one
of her customers called to her, and
she hurried back to find that the draw
er Of the cash register was open and
$5 gone. The two small boys were
Just running out Of the door. The $5
was found on the sidewalk near where
Leiber arrested the pair.
On the way to the rooms OF the
Gerry society, IIeiber said, the boys
told him that they had been working
| the game for long time. Sometimes
they would get as much as SIS from
one place. They generally picked out
shops where the cash register was on
a shelf low enough for them to reach
without climbing on chair. By the
time the proprietor was back with
their drink of water the cash register
would be closed again and they would
gulp down the water gratefully. Neither
would put the blame on the other,
George, the younger one, the detective
said, told him that he generally took
the money from the drawer as he was
so short that even II the shopkeeper
did look around he would hardly be
able to see Georges head over the
counter.
As he could get no information from
the boys Justice Zeller remanded Max
TO the care Of the Gerry society until
Tuesday and sent George, the smaller
one, who still wears one piece gingham
suits. home with his father.

COUNTY.
Representative,
H. c. JACKSON.

Somebody has said that there are
more young men in the penitentiary
in this country learning trades than
there are outside of them. The prin-
cipal cause of this is, we are educat-
ing our young men for gentlemen;
trying to make lawyers, doctors and
clerks out of the material nature
intended for blacksmiths, carpenters,
and other "hewers of wood and
drawers of water" 1t is a mistaken
idea and big one, to teach boys and
girls by insinuation or otherwise
that to labor is disgraceful, or If
labor is necessary for livelihood
to follow a genteel occupation, and
that to do nothing for a living is
more becoming the society in which
they expect to move and have re-
spect. Hang such society! 1t is
rotten to the core and there are
many mems sons and daughters who
are now being educated to become
a leading lady" and walking gen
tleman" in the great drama of life
and will light out for a poor house
or penitentiary before they have
played their parts and the curtain
drops.

TAKE my advice about autos;

chine.

his cell in the Tombs, don't see

You may be fined for obstructhg
traffic, but you won't find yourself
indicted for running over any one"

station, and Captain Price wants to
get rid of 1t, but is unable to find
anyone who seems to have author
ity to order its removal. When Ro.
senheimer was told of the captains
predicament, ne said:

18th, and | never want to see il

IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL.
Wizard Edison Denies Everlasting
Life While Father Vaughan AS
Sppts There Is

serts There Is.
New York, Oct. 15.-ln a contro-
versy between Thomas A. Edison
and Father Bernard Vaughan about
the immortality of the human soul,
the former made the following state
ment:
81 cannot believe in the immor-
tality of the soul.
Heaven? Shall l, If l am good
and earn reward, go to heaven when
| die? No, no, | am not II am
not an Individual am an aggre-
gate of cells; as, for instance, New
York city is an aggregate of indi-
viduals. Will New York city so to
Heaven?
I'VE are, as you know, made up
each part of us is made up--of mil
lions of cells. These cells are not
absolutely Independent any more
than you, as an individual living in
New York city, are independent;
but each cell is an individual. You
are a part of the city; each cell is a
part of you.
"Why should you collection of
cells, be immortal as a collection
any more than New York city, a
collection of individuals, should be
immortal as a collection? Its citi-
zens are continually dying, moving
away. and being replaced. Your
cells are continually dying, moving
away and being replaced"
Father Vaughan, IN his reply,
speaks as follows:
Edison does admit the immortal
ity of the soul for the all-sulIlcient
reason that he denies the existence
of a human soul.
81 wish to be put on record as
acknowledging mans Indebtedness
to Edison for his matchless mani
pulation of electricity and for an
inventive genius in other mechani-
cal applications for the benefit of
social and commercial life.
But the people must not lose
sight of the fact that Edison is neith-
er theologian nor a metaphysiCian.
Edison himself has told the world
that about the nature, even of eiec-
tricity, he knows nothing at all
What Edison did know was how
| to make use of electricity.
Il would venture to remind Edi-
son that the human soul might pos
sibly be far finer and subtler sub
stance than electricity itself"

The sensational. charges against
John X. Tener, which the North
American" advertised for two days,
and through which it's circulation
manager tried to get circulation for
the paper by letters sent out through
the state to those who might aid
in pushing the paper, have fallen
fiatter than a pancake.
The charges only contained the
statement that TENER was for a
few weeks connected with a corpor-
alton which has in its directorate
and among its officers men of the
highest repute in the community
and some who have been prominent
ly identified with reform move
ments in Philadelphia. He found
that he had not time to give to- the
company, and he retired from d.
He resigned the position of Pres
ident which had been given him and
he resigned from the Board of Di-
rectors. He did not accept the stock
which had been offered to him.
But, although TENER got out of
the National Public Utilities Cor
poration before he had scarcely got
in it, there were many others of the
very best standing in the commun-
ity who remained in it, and who are
in 1t today. If there are also some
men connected with the company
whose regulations are not of the
best-and the North American
processes to know all about such
men-it must not be forgotten that
nearly all of those concerned are OF
the best reputation.
1t is for them to fight the allega-
tions of the newspaper that their
company and they are crooked. AS
for TENER, he has been out of the
question for long time-much
longer by months than he was ever
in II weeks.
1t is not to be forgotten, either
that TENER and all his connections
have been above reproach at al
times. His character is of the best
and is regarded as unassaiIable
while the source-the awful polluted
source-from which this attack up
on him springs, must necessarily bC
considered.

the North American, is the same maI
who was arrested during the Hast
ing's regime, charged with bribin,
