BLAKSLEE ADDS
To THE TROUBLES
Hints That There May Be Contest
Started if Pinchot Is
Elected Senator
HE MAKES CRYPTIC REMARK
Reports Current in Washington
That Palmer Will Get a
Job at Washington
HE MAKES CRYPTIC REMARK

James I. Blakslee, the fourth assist
ant postmaster general who has had
so much time to spare from his duties
to politicate in Pennsylvania, added
TO the fuss between Palmer and Pin
chot last night Blakslee found time
to make a virtual admission of the
defeat of Mccormick by predicting
that he would have $4,000 majority.
As other Democrats are claiming 100,-
600 the dismal state of Blakslee's mind
is obvious
But where the former secretary of
the machine committee shone was
when he served notice on Pinchot that
he would be contested if elected. This
is what Blakslee said:
Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer is
the only nominee of any party in
this State who can and will carry
the commission of the people of
Pennsylvania into the United
States Senate without a protest"
Washington dispatch to the Phil
adelphia Inquirer has this interesting
information: Reports that Attorney
General Gregory might resign to make
way for the appointment Of A Nit
chell Palmer. of Pennsylvania, as head
of the Department of Justice, follow
ing the election, We're circulated in
Washington to-day. The reports pre-
suppose the defeat of Palmer for the
senatorShip. In connection with the
report, friends of MIR. Palmer were
discussing an article in a New York
magazine, sent out for release to the
Washington correspondents, which
states that Palmer might have
been nominated for the Presidency
at Baltimore if he had been willing
to desert President Wilson. The whole
purpose of the story, apparently, is to
point out President Wilson's obliga-
tions to Mr.. Palmer, evidently with a
view to obtaining the attorney gen
eralship for him.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Palmer
was not in line for the chairmanship
of the ways and means committee, be-
ing far down on the list, the effort to
make him chairman proved embar-
rassing to the administration. 1t meant
that Claud Kitchen, of North Carolina,
would have to be sidetracked. The
result was that Mr.. Palmer was urged
to become n candidate for the Senate
in Pennsylvania.
"Now that the end of the campaign
is in sight, and reports from Penn
sylvania indicate a Republican land
slide, the effort to obtain the attorney
generalship for Mr.. Palmer has been
renewed"

Working at Hard Labor Though Death Threatened Him

Mr.. Jacob Karr, of Linden street,
has lived in Harrisburg many years
and scores of people know him as a
hard working man, but few people
knew that while he was toiling, death
in a horrible manner threatened him.
Often he would spend some of his
hard-earned, meager savings for a
remedy which should help him, but
anything and everything failed. Often,
when working in the broiling sun, he
would be overcome by dizzy attacks,
but he would fight them, overcome
them and continue to work. Often
the condition of his stomach was such
that 1t was almost by superhuman eff
forts that he was able to earn his
bread. What made things even more
pitiful was the fact that MIR. Karr
knew the cause of his sufferingsi no
diagnosis was necessary. lie knew,

positively knew, that monster worm
was thriving in his system; knew that
this worm was gradually, but surely,
weakening him and realized that a
terrible death would soon be his lot
unless this worm was removed. But
what could he do? Where could he
go for help? Years and a small for
tune he spent in his endeavor to find
a cure. but he only grew worse.
Discouraged, indeed, was he when
he called at Kennedy's drug store. He
explained conditions, and as the
Health Teacher claimed Quaker Ex-
tract would remove tapeworms here
was indeed an opportunity to prove 1t.
Mr.. Karr obtained the medicine Sat-
urday night late. He took it accord
ing to directions only few times, and
he expelled the worm. Oh, my, what
a monster! 1t is nearly eighty feet

egate from the local organization of
the Christian Endeavor society. He
is one Of the most prominent workers
of the Christian Endeavor society and
is a member Of the expert class. While
at the session he attended the morning
classes for delegates and studied inn
migration, evangelism and Christian
Endeavor methods. He will soon take
an examination in these studies and
will probably receive a diploma for
his efforts. The afternoon sessions
were devoted by the delegates to en-
tertainmentS.
On campfire night each delegation
presented a program. The Indiana
delegation gave a minstrel show, in
which Mr.. Hawkins participated. one
of the best features on this occasion
was a mock session of Christian En-
Pennsylvania presented PENIS treaty
with the Indians, while New York pre-
scented the landing of the Pilgrims.
The faculty and officers of the cOnven-
ton presented a program entitled An
African Wedding"
In the contest for best attendance
OF delegations for roth cities and
states a keen fight was on. Indiana
last year won the cup presented by
the management for the best state at
tendance and this year the IndianapO-
lis delegation secured the cup for best
city attendance. Ohio won the cup
for best state attendance. At the next
convention Ohio cities will endeavor
to secure the cup, as it belongs TO that
state, and city delegations must con-
test for it with attendance. The at
tendance at the convention this year
was about 500, and the Indiana dele
cation numbered about fifty.
At the next meeting of the Christian
Endeavor society of the Presbyterian
church MIR. Hawkins will give a COM
plete report of his trip to the conven-
ton. The meeting will be held Sunday
evening at the church, and the hour
for devotional exercises will be taken
by MIR. Hawkins.
A meeting of the Christian Endeav-
or methods class was held Wednesday
evening at the First Christian church.
A good attendance was a feature for
the hot weather session.
