"WHY SHOULD | USE
CUTlCURA SOAP?

"There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, 1t
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation it's delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for this
purpose, while it's extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages Of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is few cents
more than that Of ordinary toilet
soaps, 1t is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that 1t wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap. and making It's
use. in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura, "

Teheran, Persia.-Arshad Ed Dow
leh, the defeated rebel leader, has
been executed. He proclaimed his 10y

The eX-shah has met with crushing
defeat in his attempt to reach Tehe-

countered the rebels near EmanZadeh
Djaffar Varamin. The first day the
rebels were defeated and evacuated
several positions. The second day,
before the arrival of the government
forces commanded by Gardarbahadur

rebels suffered another defeat, losing
three guns. The evening of the same
day the government forces united
and made a general assault upon the
rebels, capturing all their guns and

VETS TRIUMPH IN
PINE TREE STATE
WIN FIGHT TO REMOVE PRoHIBl.
TORY AMENDMENT FROM
CONSTITUTION.
MAJORITY is VERY SMALL
Maine Has Been "Dry" for Fifty-four
Years and Campaign Just Closed
Was One of the Warmest
In the State.

Portland, Melt is estimated here
that the "wets" have won their
fight to remove the prohibitory
amendment from the constitution of
the state by the small margin of about
S75 votes. That the "wets" have
carried the state is conceded by the
Prohibition forces, including the lead
ers of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance union and the No License league,
the organizations allied against the
anti-Prohibition forces.
Maine has been dry" for 54 years.
A majority of S75 votes at the pres
ent time is base don returns from 400
of sci cities and towns. The towns
to be heard from are very small and
their vote is considered about even.
Early returns indicated landslide for
the "wets" as every city with the eX-
ception of Calias gave handsome ma
jority for the anti-Prohibition forces.
Many cities which had been conceded
to the "drys" by he anti-Prohibition
forces piled up large majorities for
the "wets," while all the larger towns
of the state were in favor of remov-
ing the prohibitory amendment from
the constitution.
The result of the election was a
distinct victory of the cities in the
state over the farmers, as the voters
Of the cities gave a majority of about
10000 votes to repeal the prohibitory
law, while the farmers in nearly every
section of the state piled up a heavy
vote to retain the prohibitory law
which has been in the statutes of the
Pine Tree state for 54 years. Never
has there been such an election in
Maine, as there was not single way
by which the leaders of either party
could determine the result until prac-
tically every city and town had been
heard from. So close is the election
that already there is talk of recounts
in many towns.

MURDER TW0|
sLAY MEN WHO HAD CASH TO
PAY OFF EMPLOYEES.
HIghwaymen Who Commit the Crime
Fat<to Get Wooden Boxes Con-
tanning $4,000.

Tamaqua, pam automobile party
on a pleasure trip crossing one
of the highest points on the Mes
Quehoning mountains came upon the
bodies of two men seated in single
carriage, while the horse was quietly
grazing by the roadside. The bodies
were those of Joseph Zehner of Lands
ford, contractor for the Lehigh Coal
& Navigation Co.. and Samuel Wat
kins, who had accompanied him to as
sist in paying the employees Of vari-
Gus coal strippings in the valley. Two
wooden boxes containing $4,000 were
in the back of the carriage and un-
touched, telling of the futile efforts
Of the bandits who committed the
murders to obtain their booty.
A trail of blood leading from an am
bush several hundred yards below the
point at which the bodies were found
indicated the scene of the holdup. it
is believed that when the shots were
fired the horse took fright and ran
away up the steep grade and that the
outlaws, fearing detection, we're afraid
to follow. There was a gaping wound
in Mr.. Zehner's forehead, the bullet
having entered the back of his head
near the neck, coming out at the fore
head. Watkins had been shot in the
left side of the head. Both had been
instantly killed.
AS soon as news of the holdup reach
ed the offices of the Lehigh Coal &
Navigation Co., 200 men were sworn in
as deputies and started to search for
the bandits. Two Italians who were
excitedly trying to buy tickets for
Elizabeth, N. j., were arrested at
Parryville, Carbon county, and brought
to Maunch Chunk and held as sus-
poets. Two Slavonians were later ar
rested at Allentown on suspicion.

FARM VALUE S28,OOO,OO0,O
Ago, but Number of Farms Doesn't
Keep Pace, Census Shows.

Washington, d. C.-Strong argU-
ments for back to the farm" move
ment were statistics made public by
the census bureau indicating that dur
ing the last 10 years the percentage
of increase in unmber of farms has
fallen far behind that of the increase
in population. Not since 1850 has the
percentage of increase been so small
According to the census bureau dur
ing the 10-year period beginning in
1900, the population of the nation in
creased 81 per cent. During the same
decade the number of farms increased
from 5,737372 to 6,340,357, only los
per cent. Most remarkable, however,
was the showing of the increase in the
value of the farms. Farm land, eX-
elusive of buildings, was valued at $13,-
05S.00s,O00 in 1900. in 1910 it was
worth s2S,3s6, 100000, an advance of
III per cent. The size of farms has
increased, according to returns.

AROUSED
BLAME AND PRAISE PASTOR WHO
TIES KNOT FOR ASToR.
Followers Of Congregational Minister
Divided In Their Opinions Of
cergyman's Act.

Providence, r. 1.-The Rev. Jo-
seph Lambert, who leaped from
ecclesiastical obscurity into world
wide notice by officiating at the mar
riage of Col. John Jacob Astor and
Miss Madeleine T. Force at Newport,
faced flock of parishioners Sunday
who are thoroughly aroused over his
action. When Doctor Lambert arose
to deliver his sermon in the Elmwood
Temple, the local Congregational
church, of which he is the pastor,
he found his followers divided in their
opinions of his act. The minister
avoided direct reference to the sub
ject that forcibly identified him in
every mind. But when he declared his
belief that one thing necessary to
bring people to church, rs to adver-
tise your church," there was a per-
ceptible stir
II took the counsel of several min
listers in the city (Providence) and l
found that they thought, generally as
I did about the marriage" said Doc
tor Lambert. 81 see no necessity for
any explanation or defense of my ac-
ton in marrying Colonel Astor. l
have been informed that several men,
bers of my church are indignant over
it. That | expected. But l am graft
fed to believe that the majority, in
fact, the greater proportion of our
members, approve of what did. Sun
day number of the most prominent
and influential persons of my church
came forward to congratulate me.
Where l heard of one or two who OPP
posed my act, four or five in person
portion thinks l did right"
Philadelphia, Pat was money
that did it. This minister was
bought; he cringed before cold cash.
Congregationalism is cash religion.
Miss Force threw her person, sacred
and pure, into the embrace of the de-
generate Astor for the sake of money.
Mr.. Astor maintains his social posi-
ton today through money. The Provt-
dence minister was bought by money.

Rev. George Chalmers Richmond, the
clergyman who denounced the Astor-
Force alliance at the time the engage
ment was announced, condemned the
marriage, the minister who performed
1t and the colonel and his young bride
in these terms in sermon before
his congregation in st. Johns Protes-

DIES TRYING TO SAVE GIRL
Officer on Liner Meets Death When
He Plunged Into Sea After Miss
Who Washed Overheard.

Philadelphia, Pa.-When the Allan
liner Pretorian arrived here from
Glasgow her colors were at half
mast and passengers told of Third
officer Arthur H. Ballantine's efforts
to save May Gordon, a 14-year-old pas
senger, who had been close compan-
ion of Ballantine's throughout the voy-
age. On the evening of August 80 a
great wave boarded the deck and the
little girl was washed overheard. Bal
lantine, without waiting for boat to
be lowered, plunged after her. The
sea was very heavy and though the
captain brought the vessel to stop
and made every effort to locate the
man and girl, no trace of them was
found. They had drowned together.
