Fine Road.

Automobile tourists returning
from points in the West and
Western Pennsylvania, report the
roads as very poor in portions of
Ohio. According to a Philadel-
phian, Mr.. Hoyle, from Pitts
burgh to Breezewood, which is
about sixteen miles east of Bed
ford, is probably as fine a stretch
Of 116 miles of road as can be
found anywhere in the country.
The mountain scenery is perfect
and an altitude of 1899 feet is at
tanned crossing the Allegheny
mountains. From Breezewood to
Fort Loudon the road has been
put in splendid condition with the
exception of a few short stretch
eS, and men are at work on these.
Inc mountains between Everett
and Chambersburg are no longer
dread to tourists, and in a few
weeks will be in perfect condi-
ton.

EVANGELISTIC WORK.
Third Week Of the Big Meeting at Need
more Shows Unabated Interest.
Great Crowds.

Evangelist Charles Beard, of
Martinsburg, w. Va, is conduct
ing a series of meetings at Need
more in a big gospel tent, with
marked success. He is heartily
assisted by Rev. A. G. B. Pow
ers, of the Christian church, and
by Rev. E. j. Croft, of the Meth
odist Episcopal. The large at
tendance shows the interest
awakened. A choir of one hun
dred voices under the direction
of Rev. Powers, which, being
supplemented by sacred concerts
given by the Needmore band, So
los by Rev. Croft, and duets by
Revs. Croft and Powers, makes
the music an attractive and in
spring feature.
In the big tabernacle last Sun
day Rev. Beard preached a pow
erful sermon to the mothers, u.s.
ing the word Home" as a key
to his theme. His pathetic de-
scription of the tolls and sacrifi-
ces made by the mother for her
children; how the waywardness
and ingratitude of some children
crush the heart of the mother,
held the audience spellbound, and
carried a lesson that will not soon
be forgotten.
At two O'Clock in the afternoon
more than five hundred people
assembled at the Concrete Bridge
east of Needmore to witness the
baptism by immersion of twenty
eight persons, by Rev. Powers.
After the baptismal ceremony
the congregation repaired to the
tent where an experience meet
ing was led by Mr.. Amos Sharpe.
At night the tabernacle was
again filled to overhowing, the
special music being a quartette
composed of Ralph Truax, Dee
Garland, Robert Dixon and Wal
ter Peck, and Miss Della Bard at
the organ.
Services every evening this
week. All-day services will be
held next Sunday beginning with
preaching in the tabernacle at
1890; then, at 2:90, and 8o'clock
in the evening. People are in
vited to go early, take their din
ners along, and stay all day.

Commissioner Of Health.

zone ship drives east and another
west
With the self-same Winds that blow;
Ills the set of the sails and not the
gales
That sends them the way they go.
School will soon be over and
several hundred thousand boys
and girls will be out for a three
months holiday.
After their winters work in
school they need change and di-
version and healthful exercise.
Perhaps during the school year,
like many parents, you have
shifted the burden of your chill
dren's supervision upon their
teachers. Now for three months
the full responsibility must rest
upon the parental shoulders.
It's a serious problem how boys
and girls shall spend their vaca-
tions. Of course, if you don't
take a hand in it they will settle
the question for themsel s.
There are always other boys and
girls, perhaps many of them that
you are in no way acquainted
with and, of course, there are al
ways both good and bad diver
sions at hand for healthy young
sters.
Through their parents lack of
interest many children form bad
habits and cultivate evil asso-
ciates during school vacations.
Boys and girls minds need enter
tanning occupation and their bo-
dies need plenty of healthful ex-
ercise. The parents should try
to guide this natural craving and
where circumstances make it pos
sible to join and share in some of
the vacation amusements of their
children.
While the majority of us must
continue our regular occupations,
the summer usually offers some
chance to get into the open and
hark back to Nature.
Every boy and girl naturally
has something of the love of our
primitive forefathers for the
woods and streams. Cultivate
this and share it. Since our
schools have been teaching natur-
al history you will find them es-
pecially keen. They will have
things of interest to tell you. All
this will serve to give you an
agreeable change and it will en-
courage the girls and boys to take
an interest in the wonders of
Gods great out-of-doors. You
can do nothing better for their
health, enjoyment and future
happiness than to stimulate their
interest in these things.

How 10 Can Whole Tomatoes.

In the July Woman's Home
Companion appears a department
called THE Exchange" in which
readers gave each other the bene-
fit of helpful suggestions that
have been developed out of prac-
tical housekeeping experience.
A Pennsylvania woman tells as
follows how tomatoes can be can
ned whole:
Select medium-sized, smooth
and perfectly sound, ripe toma-
toes. Put a few at a time in a
colander or wire basket and
plunge them into boiling water;
then remove the skins and hard
stem end and put carefully into
wide-mouthed jars. Dissolve two
tablespoonfuls of salt in two gal
Ions of boiling water, fill the jars
to the very top, and steam about
fifteen minutes.
This steaming may be done
by putting the filed jars into a
wash boiler with hot water COW
ering about, three-fourths of the
jar; or, better still, by putting
them into a steam cooker. Then
seal.
These tomatoes may be eaten
cold with salt, pepper sugar or
mayonaise. They are especially
tempting each one on a lettuce
leaf, topped with mayonaise and
a slice of hard-boiled egg.

Struck BY Rock from Blast.

On last Saturd day, while two
men in a buggy We're coming
down the east side of Sideling
Hill on the Lincoln Highway, one
of the men, MIR. Jackson of
Brush Creek township, was struck
on top of the head by a small
stone that had been hurled near
ly an eighth of a mile by a blast
at the State quarry; but it cut
through his cap and opened a
small vein from which the blood
trickled to the ground. Cold wa
ter from a nearby spring stopped
the flow of blood. Workmen had
stopped the buggy at what was
supposed to be safe distance
from the blast, but the stone
found its way over tree tops and
came down with the foregoing
result.
