Although the actual number OF
persons killed by lightning in
the United States is considerable,
the ratio is only one in a hum
dred thousand. Of those that
are struck, one in every three
RECEIVERS, and if artificial res
piration were more often employ
ed, the number of recoveries
would probably be greater still.
Most of our storms move from
west to east. 1t is not strange,
therefore, to find that lightning
strikes more frequently on the
western sides of cities than On
the eastern. In the country the
western slopes Of hills, especially
near the summit, are more than
ordinarily exposed to strokes.
The courses of large streams are
also danger zones, particularly
when the stream flows through
level valleys. Tall trees on the
shores of lakes are often struck
for damp ground is IAN excellent
conductor.
The city, is as a rule safer
than the country. The outside
metal work and the piping Of
large buildings. the wires, and
above all, the hot gases ascend
ing in columns from innumerable
chimneys. are conduits through
which the clouds discharge in
silence.
For protection against, light
ming, more measures are known
than are usually employed.
Lightning-rods, in sufficient
number and properly attached,
afford almost complete security;
but safely lies in the number of
the lines of wine rather than in
the size of material. A dozen
or twenty conductors of common
telegraph-wire although only
reasonably we'll grounded. are
better than a single large copper
rod, although thoroughly ground
ed.
Outdoors, during thunder
storms, sensible persons will
keep away from tall trees, wire
fences and wire clothes-lines,
telegraph and telephone poles:
and indoors they will avoid the
stove and the chimney-breasts,
water-pipes, steam-radiators, gas
and electric light fixtures and
telephones; nor will they sit at
open doors or windows. To hud-
die together in a group. as tim
id people so often do, is to court
danger rather than avoid it. The
safest place is lying down, for
lightning needs a vertical con-
ductor. youths Companion.

GETTYSBURG-A PEACE MEET

has there been anything like the
anniversary celebration which is
being held this week on the field
of the great battle or series of
battles, which marked the climax
in the war waged for the disso-
luton of the Union. Fifty years
after the sanguary event the
veterans of the two contending
armies meet at Gettysburg, go
into camp along the slopes
: where the three-day battle ragged
and review the scene of the aw-
full struggle with sentiments of
mutual regard. The human-in-
terest phase of the Gettysburg
reunion dominates all else. It is
a peace gathering of fighting
men.
Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, now
ninety-three years old is the only
surviving general who command
ed an sarmy corps at Gettys-
burg, and who lost a leg there,
expressed the sentiment of the
rank and file of the Union vet
Grams the other day when he
remarked: There will be a lot
of Johnny Rebs at the anniver-
sary, and l want to shake the
hand of every one of them. "
Swapping stories of the three
day battle will be the main pas
time at the encampment this
week. The spots where the
struggle was the most sanguin-
airy, where blood flowed like
water, will be searched out,
and those who have returned at
the end of fifty years will recall
that just here" some comrade
died, just there" another who
lived to tell the story Of the fight
lost an arm or a leg.
Volumes have been written
about the movement of Lees
army across the Potomac in
June, 1868, the march northward
across Maryland into Pennsyl-
vanla, the three-day contest
around Gettysburg and the re-
treat of the Confederate general
across the Potomac. The war
critics ymateur tacticians, many
OF them, who never smelled a
battle-are yet telling us how
Lee might have succeeded. might
have routed the Federal forces
and have pushed on to the CAP
ture of Baltimore and Washing
ton. The average student of
the wide-ranging and complicat-
ed movements at Gettysburg,
who does not attempt to go into
the mathematics of the war
game, contents himself with the
observation that, with regard to
battles as with regard to other
human performances, hindsight
is better than foresight.
In these days, when peace
presides over a reunited country,
and when at last we are begin
ming to live, literally as theoreti-
cally, up to that admonition
that we must in our patriotism
know no North, no South no
East and no West, we can re-
view the stressful storm of
emotions that surged during the
war period with contemplative
and dispassionate minds. The
struggle that eliminated at
Gettysburg, like that which was
decided at Waterloo, has passed
into history. On the battlefield
of Gettysburg this week soldiers
OF the two armies-50,000 of
them-are gathered in perfect
amity, and let us hope there is
not single one of the brave old
fighters who cherishes the least
remnant of bitterness. There
are so, 900 men of war at Gettys-
burg this week, but it is peace
meet, not a war meet. BALTIC.

PICNIC ON AUGUST 6

The township trustees in session
today decided to hold their annual
picnic at Jackson park, August 6. The
families and relatives of the trustees,
with County Superintendent Williams
and Secretary Jordan of the CONNER
cial club, ex-superintendent, will at
tend.
The officials also took up the mat
ter of preparing the township con-
solidated and township schools for the
domestic science departments. The
schools will be furnished with equip
ment by the various township where
possible. Other schools which have
not the necessary room will be pro-
vided with a course similar to the
experimental departments in other
schools, except that the experiments
will not be done. Credits will be given
pupils who do the work at home after
their cooking and sewing has been ap-
proved by the teacher of the school.
Corn schools will also be feature of
the new work. Experimental work
will be done by boys on land donated
by farmers.

NOT IN FAVOR OF
DEPUTY TREASURER

81 am in favor of anything that is
for the good of the people, but | do
not see how a deputy-treasurer to col
Ieot taxes in the surrounding towns
will be any better than the present
methods" said County Treasurer
Chamness this afternoon. The people
living near Cambridge City, Hagers-
town and Centerville have been ask
ing for a deputy treasurer in each of
these places to receive the taxes.
The first objection to such a plan,
according to Treasurer Chamness is
that each deputy would have to be
supplied with different set of dupli
Gates, and that a man to do this work
would be obliged to have some knowl-
edge of the system and workings of
the county office. Also the treasur-
er's salary is not sufficient to employ
a great number of deputies. Some ar
rangement to pay them would have to
be made by the county, Chamness
says.
This year arrangements were made
with eleven banks in the smaller towns
of the county to receive taxes. Each
bank was supplied with certificates
which they filled out with the amount
of taxes paid. When amounts collect
ed by the banks were called for by the
treasurer, they were brought in, and
receipts issued to the banks for the
sum collected. The records were
then made in the county office.
This plan provides a responsible in
stitution for the collection of the taxes
where the treasurer could not intrust
the work to an individual with perfect
safety without bond. Mr.. Chamness
believes that people would rather do
business through their banks than a
deputy.

WHY RESINOL SOAP
KEEPS COMPLEXIONS
CLEAR AND HEALTHY

When you wash your face do you
realize that is is not enough to remove
the dirt-that your skin needs a sooth-
ing healing influence to keep your
complexion fresh and free from blem-
ish?
Ordinary toilet soaps do not assert
this influence. Many of them contain
free alkali which tends to dry the skin
and destroy its delicate texture Even
the best of such coaps can only clean,
they cannot heal and protect the skin.
Resinol Soap, besides being an abso-
lutely pure toilet soap. contains the
same soothing, healing, antiseptic
oalsams as Resinol Ointment, the value
OF which in the treatment of skin af-
fections is known throughout the medi-
cal profession. That is why Resinol
Soap does for the skin what cosmetics
are supposed to dot insures not on
ly a clean skin, but healthy skin, and
q fair, clear complexion. Resinol
Soap and Resinol Ointment are sold by
all druggists. Trial free: Dept Ar,
Resinol, Baltimore, Md.

z men ATTEMPT TO
ENTER MEAT MARKET

An attempt was made by two men
late last night or early this morning
to enter the rear of Zellers' meat
market on Main street between Tenth
and Eleventh streets, but the men
were seen by Patrolman Menke who
frightened them away. A dog, evident
ly the property of the men, bit the pa
trolman on the right hand, decorating
two fingers.
Menke heard noises while passing
the place. He went to the rear where
there is a court. AS he approached
the place two men suddenly sprang
from the shadows and ran down an al
ley towards A street.
A dog followed them and stopped
when it reached Menke. The patrol
man stated that the dog was a pleas
ant looking one" and he patted it on
the head. The animal jumped at him,
Selling his hand and inflicting deep
gashes. The animal then followed the
men.
Menke's wounds were examined to-
day by a physician who stated that
there is no danger of hydrophobia. Pre-
cautions against it were taken, how
ever.

Il stand firm on the principles

or" said Will J. Robbins when asked
if he favored the city receiving free
lighting from the municipal plant.
1T is unfair for the only citizens
who get their light from the city
plant to pay for the city lights. The
expense should be borne by all the cit
liens alike"
Mr.. Robbins stated that all received
the benefit of the street lights no diff
ference what company supplied the
lights for their homes, and that these
street lights were paid for only by the
patrons of the city plant
He believes that if the city paid for
its street lighting a lower rate could
be made to the patrons of the munich
pal plant.
