Randolph Woman Falls Down Stairs
And is Badly Burned.

RANDOLPH, Oct. 22-Mrs. Frank
f. Conner fell down the cellar stairs
with a lighted lamp in her hand Sun
day evening. Her husband left her
lying on the couch when he went out
to the barn for Il moment and when he
came in he heard her call. He looked
into the sitting room without finding
her and then, guided by her voice,
stepped to the cellar door to see her
at the foot of the stairs envelOped in
flames. He caught up a thick wooden
shawl and wrapping, her in it, smother
ed the fire but not before her clothes
were nearly burned off from her.
A physician was called and she was
taken to the sanitorium, where it was
found that she had fracture at the
base of the skull, long scalp wounds
at the right side of her head, her left
eye bruised and her left arm and side
badly burned. There were also few

the oldest II daughter of IL and the
youngest baby of seven months. Her
mother, Mrs. Howard Dodge of Wor-
cester, arrived Monday. Mrs. Conner S

He was introduced by Diedrich
Stolte and in his opening remarks re-

There is no question of such general
interest to mankind as the one of
healing. The universal demand and
cndc"ocr Of humanity is for Il larger
measure of health and happiness than
is today attained, and there is mani
fcstly great need of some better means
of healing than that in general use
In the Bible-that remarkable and
unique book which is believed in, re-
spected, and loved by millions Of pco-
ple as the standard of morals and right
living and as the true record of the
appearing of divinity on earth Tor the
salvation of mankind-in both the Old
and New Testaments of this book there
are many statements which point TO n
means of healing both sin and disease
which Christ Jesus proved to be far SUI
perior to all others, a healing and saw
ing power which should be searched
for and found along very different
lines from those generally followed
and which is above and apart from all
that is material.

popeyed with delight over your first store-bought
sled, did grandpa take you out for rides the
dazzling fresh snow, he acting "horseg' And did
he go it barefooted unmindful of the crystals of
frost that cracked beneath his tread if they had
been rose petalsf
We know a grown-up whose old grandad did that
In the years ago. And other queer things, too For

thermometer below zero, chop hole through the ice

There were husky folks in those days But
they lived simply, ate plain food, worked much
In the open and didn't try to turn night into day.
We began, however, to say something about feet
Grandpas feet, which didn't mind the cracking
snow or the icy water rarely found themselves ram
footed. But when he did wear shoe it was care
fully fitted and removed the minute he entered the
house. Grandpa also practiced footwashing re-
igiously did the folks the Bible tells about.
We don't suppose he did these things because he
had any theories to test or fads to exploit. Any
schoolboy today could tell him that the pores of the
feet among the busiest of the bodys poison out
let's and that therefore, it's good thing to go bare
foot now and then to wade in the dew or to do any
OF the outdoor novelties which aid nature in its hard
task OF EXPERIMENTATION. Grandpa didn't know that,
for he had had the chance study physiology

society, at least change the hose at short inter-

Above all, don't be ashamed if your foot is long
