Examiners Find ChristOph's Books
Are Well Kept.

After having made a thorough ex-
animation of the records of Frank
Christoph, former county clerk. the
field examiners for the state board Of
accountants have only words of the
highest praise for the efficiency with
which Christoph did his work. A

They have been here four weeks and

In regard TO the work of Christoph
the examiners say that he kept his
books with the very incest of pre-

ton that his one aim was 10 do the
work of his office TO the best of his
ability. They find that S9,SO1.5S is
the amount of the trust fund turned

PENROSE ELECTED
At BIC EXPENSE
Rep. A. Mitchell! Palmer Claims
Million Dollars Was Spent in
Pennsylvania to Put Him in
the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. - Rep. A.
Mitchell Palmer before the commit
tee on privileges and elections made
the fiatfooted statement that more
than Sl,OOO.060 was spent in Penn
sylvania to accomplish the nOmina-
ton and election of Sen. PenrOse".
Mr.. Palmer and Rep. Arthur r.
Ripley appeared before the commit
tee 10 urge the passage of the Norris
resolution for an investigation of eX-
penditures in the primary and general
election in Pennsylvania and Illinois.
| This would involve the expenditures
on behalf of BOies Penrose and Roger
Sullivan.
The republican state committee.
the Philadelphia city committee and
the Pennsylvania Protective union
have filed accounts in which they ad-
NIT having received and disbursed
$432,OO0," said Mr. Palmer to the
committee. The expenditures of the
republican committee of the other 81
counties which have been accounted
for will average at least So. 200 to the
county. making an expenditure of
S335,000, so that it is admitted that
$3.50. 900 was spent for the purpose of
,nsuring Penrose's election.
The organized liquor traffic was
never more active in the history of
Pennsylvania and was openly and
avowedly organizing in support of
PenrOse and spending huge sums of
money to accomplish his election.
Witnesses will be produced who will
show that brewers were taxed by the
barrel and individual wholesale and
retail dealers all assessed large sums
for election purposes. The liquor
fund reached several hundred thou
sand dollars. Bribery of voters was
common in many parts Of the state.
The corrupt practices act of the
state was openly, flagrantly and will
fully violated by the failure of the
Pennsylvania Protective union to file
any account OF its receipts and dis
bursements at the primary and by
the failure of the organized liquor as
ISOLATION to file any account at any
time. The federal corrupt practices
act was violated with like impunity."
Rep. Rupleys statement was corro-
bOrative Of that of Mr.. Palmer.

The Pains

Dr.EC. Underwood says that there is no
expression of neuralgia which is more dis
tressing than that known as Sciatica. The
cause of this condition is usually exposure

common causes is rheumatism; indeed this
is so often the cause that some wrisers in

How to Relieve Insomnia.

To relieve this distressing condi-
ton it is always best to do the thing
which is easiest and near at hand.
Very often one cannot sleep because
of nervousness. This may be caused
by overexertion and a resulting ex-
cessive fatigue. If nerves and muscles
are tired, and all of a tremble, they
need quieting by warm baths-a pro-
longed warm bath at bedtime, fol-
lowed by vigorous rubbing of the skin,
will be very soothing and induce sleep
when other methods have failed.
There is indeed nothing so restful as
bath after day of travel or work.
1t is really necessary for sanitary rea-
sons, too-for during the day we are
exposed many times to infection and
all the time to dust which is always
contaminated with bacteria. After
the bath it is a good practice to eat
or drink something glass of hot
or cold milk, d sandwich or some fruit.
Many persons wake up during the
night, probably two or three hours
after retiring, and remain wide awake
until daylight. Food upon retiring
will break up this habit Whatever
may be the cause of sleeplessness, it
is best to give baths and food fair
trial before resorting to the use of
medicines.

ARE QUICK TO HEAL
MODERN BULLETS MORE HUMANE
THAN THOSE OF THE PAST.
Soldiers Are Not Long Absent From
the Front, Even When They
Would Be Considered Quite
Seriously Injured.

The bullet covered with hard nickel
now in use makes the surgeons task
very simple, as rule. Formerly,
when large bullets of soft lead were
used, the soldiers lot was not very
happy one These often broke up in
side the body, shattered bones, and
frequently remained embedded in the
muscles, bones and other parts.
The result was slow-healing, tester
ing wounds which kept the soldier i'll
for a long time. The modern long,
slender bullet generally passes through
the body withoutsdoing any vital in
jury. Even when it goes through the
intestine, the stomach, the kidney,
etc., the wound closes up without any
very serious after-consequenees, A
good deal, however, depends on cir
cumstances. If the soldiers stomach
is empty-as it generally is in bat
tfe-so much the better for him when
he gets bullet through it.
When he is tired and half starving,
however, the shock is very great, and
he may become utterly helpless from q
slight wound. A curious fact, difficult
to explain, is that bullet fired at a
range of 800 to 600 yards has more
penetrating power than one fired at a
range under or over that distance.
In the former case it passes through
the bone without doing very much
damage; in the latter it skaters the
bone and makes recovery slow. A
ricocheting bullet causes very bad
wound as rule. Small as it is, if a
bullet strikes a large bone. like the
hip, it gives a blow like that of a
crowbar.
We are hearing a great deal about
dum-dum bullets in this, as in all wars,
both parties making charges against
one another The probability is that
neither side is using them. The bullet
now in use consists of core of lead
covered with " Fftthh g hard nickel case
