SECOND BIBLE A NECESSITY
Experienced Minister Knew What He
Was Talking About When He
Advised Junior.

Nov that you are married" said the
experienced minister to the young
curate, you will have to stop using
the church Bible for home study.
Oh, yes. l know how it is. You get
attached to certain Bible, and can
study better with that right under
your nose, and would willingly pack
1t back and forth for the inspiration
1t affords. I've been through it. Used
to do that very thing myself, but aft
er half dozen wells and pair Of
gloves and some little lacey things that
l shall not attempt to specify floated
down from the pulpit on Sunday morn
lngs in view Of the astonished and
amused congregation, l accustomed
myself to two Bibles. The women
folk will put things into the Bible to
press. 1t is a habit you can't break
them of, and the first thing you know
these feminine knick-knacks go sail
Ing away to humiliate you"
That night the curate turned the
pages Of his Bible carefully. A veil
and a scrap Of lace fell out. He sighed.
The next DAY he began to cultivate an
affection for second Bible.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

when my little girl was about
eight months old, she was taken with
a very irritating breaking out, which
came on her face, neck and back
When she first came down with 1t, it
came in little watery-like testers under
her eyes, and ON her chin, then after
a few days it would dry down in scaly,
white scabs. In the daytime she was
quite worrysome and would dig and
scratch her face nearly all the time.
IT consulted our physician and found
she was suffering from eczema. which
he said came from her teething. l
used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then
wrote for book on Cuticura and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. l did as
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she Is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment" (Signed
Mrs. Freeman Craver, 81 Lewis ST.,

A HIT
What She Gained by Trying Again.

A failure at first makes us esteem

A family In Minnesota that now en-
joys Postum would never have known
how good it Is if the mother had been
discouraged by the failure Of her
first attempt to prepare it. Her son
tells the story:
I'VE had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a
package one evening just to try it. We
had heard from our neighbors, and in
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked it.
We'll, the next morning Mother
brewed 1t about five minutes, just as
she had been in the habit of doing
with coffee without paying special at
tention to the directions printed on
the package. 1t looked weak and
didn't have very promising color but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air of exceptancy. It certain
ly did give him great surprise, but
I'm afraid 1t wasn't very pleasant
one, for he put down his cup with q
look of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave 1t another trial.

ing began and then letting it boil for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all SO pleased with it
that We have used 1t ever since.
Father was a confirmed dyspeptic
and cup Of coffee was to him like poi
son. So he never drinks it any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't
troubled with dyspepsia now and is

One Cure for Sarcasm.

Bunsen always was sarcastic.
One evening last week when he got
home his wife had new hat to show
him. 1t was some hat. Anybody
could have seen that it was the final
phrase in female headgear.
But Bunsen started to make re-
marks. He said 1t looked as If 1t had
been trimmed by a cross-eyed milliner
on an empty stomach. And he made
lot of other disparaging remarks.
Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears.
Bunsen had to go into the other room
to have quiet laugh at her expense.
The next day he had forgotten all
about the hat.
The day after that he was reminded
Of 1t. Mrs Bunsen handed him bill
for retrimming that hat-$1S34 1t
came to.
Bunsen paid 1t without murmur
and said the revised edition Of the hat
was Just exactly right. He is not
criticizing hats any more.

PENNSY SEEKS
PERMIT FOR SIX
TRACK SYSTEM
Sen. Leayitt introduces Meas.

Eminent Domain Scope.

A bill to permit the Pennsylvania
railroad to lay two additional tracks
across the State and thereby make a
six-track system between Jersey City
and Philadelphia was introduced in the
Senate at Trenton yesterday afternoon
by Senator Leayitt, of Mercer county.
The bill is general in its application,
charging the eminent domain powers,

acquire and by condemnation in order
to widen its roadbed, but was drawn
particularly in the interests of the
Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has been acquiring land contiguous to
its roadbed for a long time. 1t has
abandoned the project for a short line
extending from the point where the
railroad leaves the Elizabeth
line across the State to the Mo~rrisville
yards, near Trenton, a. plan upon
which the company worked for a
long period. and has recently been de-
voting all its energies to the purchase
Of property adjoining it's roadbed, with

The company has met with difficulties
in getting enough property, as in some
cases owners have held out for very
high prices. At first the railroad COR

MISSING MORTON
FORMER INMATE
OF sAN|TAR|UM
Brother Denies He Had Ever
Given Out Hint of Sui
eide Intent.

II was learned today that Walter A.
Morton, who wandered away from
home last Wednesday. and has not
been heard of since, had been in a
sanitarium for some time, from which
he had come apparently cured.
But after a while he showed the old
symptoms again and has taken to
melancholy b~rooding. which grew
steadily worse during the last six
months. 1t is thought by relatives and
friends that the telephone calls telling
of his intended suicide are the inven-
ton of some morbid practical joker
who had read of the several attempts
in Eagle Rock lately.
His brother, Thomas l.. Morton, VINO
is In business at Belleville avenue and
Crane street, where both brothers con-
duct the Model Storage Warehouse,
says that Walter had never shown
indications of suicidal mania, nor had
he ever limited at suicide, and that
he is certain to have heard OF 1T IL
he had.
Mrs. Walter A. Morton went on a trip
to Cuba, according to her brother-in-
law. with her mother. They had
planned this trip for months, and about
a month 8 Mrs. Morton's mother
went, telling her daughter h a SHE
would let her know il it was nice.
After hearing from her mother, Mrs.
Morton went two weeks ago, and Tom
Morton states positively that her going
had no connection at all with Walters
disappearance,
Tom is hoping daily to hear from
his brother, and has mo- yet notified
Mrs. Morton of the occurrence, not
wishing to worry her unnecessarily IL
the brother should turn up ina day
or so, as he expects him to do.
Walter Morton, with his brother, in
herited the estate of the late Robert
Morton, part of which is a majority OF
the stock of the Model Storage Ware
house Company.
