SCIENTISTS BUY PROPERTY.
(Hopkinton Leader.)

The Christian Scientists of Hop
kinton now have their own place OF
Worship. They have purchased from
the J. Plat estate the residence and
two and one half lots cornerlng on
Chestnut and Second streets just east
Of the Philip Hotel, the consldera-
ton being s2,50O.00. The location is
an ideal one from every standpoint.
For the present two large rooms
have been fitted up in the building
and will be used for the services. The
congregation expects eventually to
thoroughly renovate and remodel the
entire building for church, Sunday
school rooms, and reading rooms in
connection.
The first service was held there
last Sunday. The history of the local
Christian Science Society is similar
to that Of other localities, a few earn
est followers of Mrs. Eddy meeting
together in private homes to study
the weekly lesson sermon. Then as
the number grew it was thought ad-
visable to rent a public place, so the
hall in the west side of the Philip
Hotel was secured and services have
been held there for. the past two
years. i. 80 =. g.

| be thankful Thursday, that he was
still in the land of the living. A day
or two previous, he met with pain
full and well-nigh fatal accident, be.
ing kicked in the face by a horse.
| Only the fact that he was not close
| enough to the horse to receive the
| full force Of the blow, saved him
from fatal injury. R. B. Hogan dis
| covered him lying in the field in a
state of Inconsistencies and hastily
| summoned aid. The lad is recovering
nicely from his injuries and will
soon be as good as new. No doubt
he will give the horses heels wide

1t is easy, in complicated civiliza-
ton like ours, to have altogether too
much regard for consequences. Let
only the thing to be done be right in
itself, and the thing to be said be
true in itself. But sit down and figure
first on the consequences, and in nine
times out of ten you will neither say
what is true nor do what is right

Ely Hiqher.

Dust by its own nature can rise only
so far above the road and birds which
fly higher never have it upon their
wings. So the heart that knows how
to fly high enough escapes those little
cares and vexations which brood upon
the earth, but cannot rise above it into
that purer air.-H. w. Beecher.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is cansed by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. Then
this tuble is infamed you have d rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out ten are caused by
Cstarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.

Strikes Match Near
Gasoline; Badly Burned

DR.. C. A. R. Moore. one of the best
known physicians of Mount Jackson,
is recovering from injuries received
in an accident recently which came
near costing him his life.
DR.. Moore, after an all-night pro-
fessi onal trip, was, with the help OF
George Sh own, recharging his auto
mo bile with gasoline. Because of a
leak, the machine was partly dis
mantled and thoroughly flushed Not
suspecting that any gasoline remain
ed in the retort, DR. Moore struck a
match 10 examine the supposed leak,
when an explosion occurred, which
enveloped him in flames and hurled
his assistant out of the building.
Every hair was burned from his
head, including his eyebrows and
mustache. His ears were burned al
most to crisp and the skin on his
neck and face scorched and parts of
his clothing destroyed. 1t is little
less than miraculous that he was not
either totally blinded or killed out
right.
DR.. Moore is still suffering greatly
from his burns, and his face is badly
swollen.

Specials Are Now
Sto6pirid on Sou thern

The new through traiHs on the Balti-
mere and Ohio Railroad from Lexing-
ton to Baltimore, which run over the
tracks of the Southern Railway be-
tween Strasburg Jun on and Har-
risonburg, are now making stops
along that portion of the Southern
Railways line. The order was issued
Monday and went into effect at once.
1t was announced today at the office
OF Supt. S. A. Jordan, of the Shen-
andoah division of the Baltimore d
Ohio Railroad, that the through
trains have been ordered to stop on
signal to receive and discharge pass
engers at any station in charge OF an
agent on the Southern Railway be-
tween Strasburg Junction and Har-
risonburg.
Southern Railway agents will sell
tickets for the Shenandoah Specials
to any point along that line between
the two towns named and also for
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad points
between Strasburg Junction and Har-
pers Ferry, but not beyond the latter
place. The through trains also stop
on the Southern line to discharge
passengers from points west of Har-
risonburg.
The westbound train will not, how
ever, stop at any place on the South
ern line to discharge passengers from
points east of Harpers Ferry. For
example, passengers from Baltimore
and Washington and other eastern
cities cannot get off the Shenandoah
Special at Woodstock. Mt. Jackson,
Edinburg. or any station between
Strasburg Junction and Harrison
burg, because both roads are COM
petitors in the eastern cities.
The new order is, however, a. great
to people living in the
lower Virginia Valley, as it enables
people living anywhere between Lex
ington and Harpers Ferry to make
quick trips without waiting for a /
night train to take them home. Large
of people come to Winches-
ter from points along the Southern
Railway between Harrisonburg and
on train No s, arriving |

Use OF CALOMEL IS
RAPIDLY FALLING OFF
Fewer People Risking Dangerous
Drug-Thousands Taking Dod-
sons Liver Tore Instead.

The use of calomel, which is a
poison and form of mercury, seems
to be decidedly diminishing nova
DAYS. Dodson's Liver Tone takes its
place so reliably in cases of consti-
patton and liver trouble that its pop
ularity is spreading more widely all
the time.
Dodson's Liver Tone is harmless
vegeta bie-liquid. What calomel
does unpleasantly-often with dangec
for constipation and sluggish liver,
Dodson's Liver Tone does for you
safely and pleasantly, with no pain
and no grippe. 1t does not interfere
in any way with your regular bust
ness, habits or diet.
So successful, so reliable and so
popular remedy has its imitators,
naturally. But beware Of them. You
can easily detect the difference.
Dodson never makes extravagant
statements. His Liver Tone has been
made from the first to take the place
OF calomel. He saws that 1T ''livens

agreeably and makes you feel good.
BIZ you are not satisfied completely
with Dodson's Liver Tone, Walton ~

chAUTAUQUA

The Woodstock Chautaudlia prom.
ises to be joyous week OF entertain
ment. Besides the excellent musical
talent rendering delightful concerts,
and lectures of educational nc
cative Importance. there will be a
number of purely entertaining events.
One OF the best of these IS Avon
Players, an organization of we'll
trained college people, in the inter-
probation OF the play "Rada. .
"Rada" is Weird dramatic poem
by Alfred, the English poet who has
recently been widely recognised in
America, and secured by Princeton
University for series of lectures on
poetry and literature next winter. In
the hands of the Avon Players, direc-
ted by Mrs. Miriam Lee Farley
Lippincott, of Swarthmore College.
"Rada" is delight.
The dramatization of the old fairy
story, Cinderella" has been arrang-
ed by Miss Anna Oppenlander. di-
rector Of the Junior Chautauaua
movement. Children will especially
enjoy this performance. The Avon
Players give the lovely old tale all
its mystic fairy beauty and make it's
people real people to the great de-
light of every child who sees it.
Children and grown-ups as we'll en-
JOY the lecture of Chauncey J. Hawk
ms. on Bright Eyes and Wild
Hearts of Our North Woods" His
pictures are extraordinary photo
graphs of the animals of which he
speaks. Some of the woodland and
forest scenes in which he has caught
natural poses of the animals are Id
themselves a sheer delight. Mr..
Hawkins pictures have received
comment in the most impor-
tant magazines as examples of pho
tographic skill. He has had init
mate personal experience with the
subjects of his lecture, and he pre-
sents his Story of them in faccinat-
ing way.
The Dunbar Singing Band, nine
men IN band, present a program of
action songs, marching songs, male
chorus, and lively instrumental music.
Their strongest feature is comedy and
excellent good. humor. They are
rapidly becoming famous as attrac-
lions of Chautauqua.

After payment of liabilities there is
q balance of 1928 II.
When he amount expended for
improvements of roads and reser-
voir is considered, it is evident that
the finances of the Gown is in very
satisfactory condition. The amount
received from the Water Fund is
50, 1ll.66, nearly three times the in
terest upon the original bonds for the
installation of the system.
This amount will naturally increase
every year, and shows that the water
system is not only a blessing to the
town in giving it pure mountain
water. but that it is paying invest
ment, the revenue from which is dis
tined to increase every year. One
thing that is badly needed in Wood
stock is supervisor of streets, whose
duty 1t should be to prevent encroach-
ment on the streets, the injury of the
grade of the side walks by unneces-
sary, and sometimes, dangerous
offsets, to superintend the trimming of
shade trees and to see that the bitches
are kept in good order.
On Main street aud in other parts
of the town are pools of stagnant
green water, menace to helth, if not
to the lives, of our people. Let US
have supervisor who Will see that
such otfencive places shall not con-
tinue to exist.
We need sewerage, but before we
can have satisfactory system of
sewerage, we must have more water
than the present system will supply.
The town is now laying a
pipe line from the slate spring to the
reservoir which will increase the
water supply considerably. The pay
meat for this improvement we are in
formed will be made from the general
fund, without any increase of the
bonded Indebtedness of the town.

For the SHENANDOAH HERALD.
Davis, W. Va.

Woodstock is situated in broad
Valley with beautiful country sur
rounding it. 1t should be beautiful
little towH with these surroundings
but before town can be beautiful it
must be clean and the trouble is, it is
not very clean.
Take for instance Main street, it
should be kept clean, a man should
be kept for that purpose.
In this day of automobiles thou
sands of strangers pass through Main
street, on the Valley Pike, which is
the highway from New York to At
lanta. 1t is also the road used to
Hot Sprin gs. Luray Caverns and
other noted points. We should Ger
tainly try to impress these strangers
with clean well kept street at least.
We also need street sprinkler and
he streets shold be sprinkled every
day. The bitches should be rid of all
weeds and rank growth which are
now choking them. This is highly
important where there is no sewerage
system and where the waste water is
piped into the streets to go where il
will.
The above are just few of the
many things that could be remedied
al slight cost and which would do
much to impress strangers and add
to the health and enjoyment of our
citizens.
trust these remarks will not be
considered out of place at this time.
am ready and willing to work with
any of our citizens for more beauti
full and sanitary town and for its adj
lvancement and prosperity.
