One of the most useful useful gifts
for some peoples a smoking
Jacket. Once we gave our old Uncle
Peters one OF those costly nicotine
REFERS. It had blue satin cuffs and a
braided collar. The coat was held to-
gether not by buttons but by gold
braid knots. The garment made a hit
with Uncle Peters, but not the knots.
For years his smoking jacket had
been a flannel ~undershirt, gracefully
decorated with suspenders. Every eve
ming he sat by the stove, smoking a
uiue which would have sufocated a
steamship stoker. He nev told US
what he burned in the pipe, and we

.HAlLSTORM MOST
 UNUSUAL FEATURE
 OF JUNE WEATHER
Observer Jennings Figures Indicate That Normal Con
 ditions Prevailed Here

Hailstones, the size of a, robins egg, coming unexpectedly and not ac- companied by rain until much later than usual, are included in the June report of Cooperative MeteorologicaI Observer William Jennings to the United States government for Bridge port. t~
 Observer Jennings records having measured one stone that was three quarters of an inch in diameter, and states that the fall of hail in advance of rain is most unusual. The storm which came on June 27 was most abrupt and was not followed by rain until a five minute hail period had been observed.
 Otherwise, and irrespective of the general belief that June was an ex- tremely cold, month, the records tend to show thattin temperature and raAn- Mall it was normal, the maximum tenn perature being 70 degrees on June If, with a minimum of 45 on June n1ak- ing a mean temperature for the month of 68 degrees, which is at little vari- amce for the normal June during 40 years which is but 6 of a degree lower.
 The greatest variance of the mer- oury in the thern ometers on any one day was noted on June 1, when the column moved upwards 34 degrees. Tn eleast daily range occurred on June 2S, when but ' degrees differ ence was recorded.
 The precipitation for the month is given as 1.48 inches though it is a fact that slightly more rain, esti- mated at one and one-haIf inches fell. as the records for the month close at 8 o'clock on June 80, and there was a heavy rainfall between that time and midnight.
 There were eight clear days, 12 partly cloudy and 10. fully overcast during the month BThunderstorms occurred on June Is, 22, 26 and 27. The highest barometer was 3O.25 at
 sa. m., June 27 and the lowest 29.6s at 7:30. June 23.

Stagnant Blood Given
A Quick Impulse
Wonderful Activity Inn.
parted by a Famous
Remedy.

The appearance of pimples, boils, skin
eruptions and all evidence Of impure blood,
calls for S. S. s., the famous blood purifier.
Cathartics, purges, bowel movers and lax
atives won't do.
No amount Of bile will destroy certain
germs which cause blood and skin eruptions.
They are away down deep in the tissues,
perhaps in the very marrow of the bones.
And such a condition calls for the searching
influence Of s. S. s. 1t is indeed a remark
able remedy, since 1t is taken up by the blood
stream and never loses its medicinal infiu-
ence. On and on 1t goes, through and
through the entire system and always with
the same definite action to dslodge germs,
destroy their activity and stimulate the liver,
lungs, kidneys, bowels and skin to throw
them out completely.
1t stimulates stagnant blood, provides
rational exhilaration to the nerve centers and
thereby the natural functions of the body are
aroused to cast out intruders, no matter how
strongly intrenched they may be. 1t refutes
the ancient theory that to destroy within US
the germs that eat into our vltals calls for
drugs that destroy our very existence. Get

vortising will be great and perma-

vertising will be great and perma-
nent.
All this inheres in the breezy story
that comes from San Francisco. This,
the most interesting single episode in
the past threeyears of church publicity
experience, occurred when the Adver-
tising Association of San Francisco
was asked by the Church Federation
to suggest methods for increasing the
attendance upon the churches. TAX
ing seven churches as q laboratory, the
Advertising Men made an elaborate
study of the equipment and the cost
of the churches and the proportion of
attendance, uJst as they would any
secular business.
Their findings were valuable and
stimulating, so far as they confined
themselves to known facts; but the
Ad Men could not resist the tempta-
ton to preach at the preachers; to
criticise their theology, and what they
felt to be the revival methods of the
churches. In this they went beyond
their depth, and all readers of the Ad
Mems report expected laundering re-
torts from the preachers-especially
so since the ministers criticised were
seven men whose names and person
alities were known to everybody. The
Ad Men called them mentally lazy"
many years behind the times, mot
acquainted with their stock" have
failed to bring the message home to
the people" 'are not delivering the
goods" etc.
The ministers replied by a printed
"critique" on the Ad Mems report.
With elaborate suavity, and appre-
citation and well-concealed irony, they
analyzed the report, and in a more
compact and business-like document
than that of the Ad Men themselves,
pointed out the failures of the adver-
tising Investigation" A phrase from
the ministers rejoinder is that the re-
port was "a disappointingly superficial
investigation, surprising in a body of
businessmen, and which compelled the
committee to base its conclusions upon
imagination rather than upon fact, and
to conjure doctrines, revival methods
and decadent conditions which prob
ably do not occur in any church in
San Francisco"
incidentally, the preachers reminded
the .Ad Men that they had not said
anything about the primary purpose
of their investigation, which was how
to increase the attendance upon the
churches!
When in good spirit Church and
press get to working together with
such candor and vigor the effect is
bound to be pronounced upon both.
THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-07-02

of the Associated Advertising Clubs in
America, where also special attention
was given to church publicity, the oc-
easion symbolizes the growing impor-
tance of this new form of religious
activity, from the respective angles of
poth religious and publicity experts.
mo more significant trend of reli-
glon has developed in our times than
this one toward scientific publicity 1t
reveals new solicitude on the part
or the church for the big, unchurched
world. 1t shows that she is taking
thought for the people, and is willing
10 compel them to come in" The
church is learning the democracy of
direct appeal to all classes of people;
for this new publicity movement
which has already established itself
in the organized Christian activities
OF America, is carrying its invitation
into the marketplace of everyday life,
like the prophets of old.
Church advertising campaigns are
under way in more than a score of
cities and, despite the approach of
summer, there have recently been
many signs of quickened interest on
the part of both church and press.
Ministerial unions and church fedora
tions have taken up the subject In
one case, that of the small town of
Narberth, suburb of Philadelphia,
the "Go-to-Church" display ads are
signed Jointly by the Roman Catholic
priest, and by the three Protestant
pastors. This is illuminating, as re-
vealing the essential solidarity of the
message of all the churches. The
claims of the advertising campaigns
deal with the fundamentals of reli-
gion which lie deeper than all de-
nominational lines.
A Sweeping Movement
Publicity has not only found a place
on the programs of great conventions,
like those of the Ad Men, of the Bill
Posters. of the Sunday School Train
ing Institute, of the Men and Religion
Congress and of Journalism Week at
various colleges; but also within three
years at least four notable books on
the subject of church publicity have
.anneared. The most important Of
these is the first, which was a scientific
