SWEET AIR.

Mr.. Granville Bloom is spending
some time with his granddaughter,
Mrs. Donald Miller.
we were sorry to learn last week
of the death of Miss Caroline Penn.
She was an estimable lady and lived
to an old age, beloved by all who
came in contact with her. She was a
devoted Christian for 81 years OF her
life. She died at the home of her
nephew, Mr.. Calvin Pickett, with
whom she had resided for about IL
years.
MIR. Walter Condor moved his saw
mill to the farm Of Mr.. Donald Miller
several days ago to saw barn frame,
but owing to the weather has been un-
able to do the work.
Mr.. Elmer Hood, who built fine
barn on his farm near here, has made
quite an improvement by removing
the old log barn and frame stable
which have been used for many years.
Many of the roads are yet impass-
able Ivy snow drifts which i'm some
places are several feet high.
Mr. Elmer Hood was In MT. Airy one
day last week.
Master Burton Hood, who has been
suffering with bronchitis for several
weeks. IL somewhat improved.
Mr.. Elmer Hood and daughter,
.Sophronia, and sons, Chester and
Albin, OF Woodbine, and Mr.. Sylvester
Hood, of Mt. Airy, were Sunday guests
at the home or MIR. and Mrs. o. ID.
Brashear, of West Falls.
we are glad to learn that MIR. and
Mrs. Harry Moore have moved tu the
home OF Mrs. Moore's parents, MIR. and
Mrs. Frank Glennan. This was Mrs.

her back among US.

 In the middle of the floor stood the Boule cabinet. and before 1t, with his back to the door, stood a man ripping savagely away the strips of burIap in which it had been wrapped. talking to himself the while in a sort of say age singsong and pausing from mo- ment to moment to glance at hud- dled bundle lying on the floor against the opposite wall. For a time could not make out what this bundle was. Then. straining my eyes. I saw that it was the body of a man, wrapped round and round In some weblike fabric.
 And as I stared at him caught the glitter of his eyes as he watched the man working at the cabinet-a glitter not to be mistaken-the same glitter which had so frightened me once be fore. What was the meaning of this ferocious scene?
 My heart leaped into my throat, for Godfrey. with a sharp cry of "Stopr' sprang to his feet and dashed into the room, Simmonds at his heels.

 Then. as I stood there staring, it seemed to me that there was sort of flicker in the afr above the mans head, and he screamed shriliy.

Plato on Exercise.

Plato, who was 'thighprovvs' if ever there was one, was wise enough to know that intellectual and spiritual progress were dependent on physical development, and he had no sympathy for the Sic1kly sentiInentality and dis regard for the laws of physical health manifested by some who pose as his modern disciples. The father of idea1- ism asserted that the way to awaken everything, which is the expression of the symnetry hidden within the soul, was through exercise of the physical body. Moreover, he was a believer in the religion of fresh air, and it was in a school in a grove that he taught and founded the great philosophical system which bears his name His name, originally AristocIes, ss was changed to Plato because of his great breadth of shoulders, developed by exercise. He was a wrestler of great skill, and proficient in many other sports. There are many modern philosophers whose thoughts would be clearer if they followed the example

The Tree-FeIling .sCure''


 Having preached and practiced the wood-chopping -tcure' for several years am pleased to learn, through the medium of a newspaper cable from Berlin, that no less a parsonage than Emperor William of Germany has derived great benefit from this form of exercise. The felling of trees and the chopping and saving of logs and carrying them to wagon tend not only to reduce surplus flesh, as in the Kaisers case, but also to put more meat on those who are too thin It is true that other forms of exercise are necessary to produce these results quickly and with certainty, but wood chopping is far from being the least important part of the treatment. The Kaiser adopted a method which have used uccessfuIIy in hundreds of cases Many boxers who have trained at my place have found tree-felling and saw ing of great assistance in making weight. The fact that thFee-fe11ing and wood-chopping must be carried on in the open is, of course, an inn portant part of the "cure,'' since it necessfta.tes deep breathing of pure air The motions used in chopping and saving exercise and strength many of the most important muscles and organs of the body. The perspira- tfon induced by such activity rids the system of poisons. For those who are weak and run down it is necessary to begin gradually and avoid exhaustion In beginning the cure thin people may even lose a little weight at first before they begin to gain.

The Philadelphia Symphony Orches- tra. will play in Bridgeport for the first time on Monday evening, at the Park
 Theatre, under the auspices of the Wednesday Afternoon Musical Club.
 With the orchestra will come the most interesting and promising of the younger conductors in America, Leo
 pold Stokowski hitherto unheard,
 but already much praised here In years MT. Stokowski is in his early and even romantic; and he conducts with a plentiful fire of gesture and
 pose By blood he is half-PoIish and half-Irisfl, happy mixture for rnu- sician; by education he Is an Oxford man. and by profession he was first Qrganlst and next conductor, original
 ly in Cincinnati from 1909 through the spring of 1912, and then in Phil adelphia. from the following autumn
 onward. In his two years of work
 there he has bettered the perfor-
 mances of the orchestra, already a ca-
 pablo band, widened the range and
 freshened the interest of it's concert
 and won a new public to them
 As a conductor, MT Sokowski holds
 his men in firm and elastic control,
 and he has quick ear for euphony
 and quality of tone. His dramatizing Imagination and his prevailing emo tionaI ardor animate and color his 1 readings of all the music that he OnQOTtakSS- ne pears ana ISelS II In the warmth of youth and he does. not spare in vigor and even exuberance of expression He seeks brilliancy and vivacity, sweep and fire. Yet in his quest for these telling qualities, he does not neglect sustained me1odic line. artful progression and the subtle handling of phrase and contrast.
 Emotional and dramatic as he is. as it were, in character. Not one of the younger conductors in America is so Individual and temperanental, and so full of talent and accomplishment. With reason his reputation has al
 ready preceded him in Bridgeport.
 As an added attraction to the con cert of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra will be the first appearance in Bridgeport Of Frances Aida, the
 celebrated lyric soprano from the
 Metropolitan Opera House. Her suc- cess in such operas as .sOte11o,'' seFaIT staff, 2 La Boheme'' and sRigolet- to-" has awakened a desire to hear her in concert. In addition to her Ioperatic work this season, Mime. Aida
