Ready by Saturday; Shooters
Out Early

Plans are being formulated for the
official opening of the rife range of

delphia division. who is the director
general of the rifle club, is anxious
10 have the members all out not later
than Saturday.
The rifles arrived Saturday morning
and will be distributed to the mem bers
for practice this week. Several of the
officials were at the range on Saturday
and made good scores. f. l.. Watson
and j. \. Hobart, of Harrisburg, and
\. !. Greiner, of Middletown, were the
best shots. it is probable that arrange
ments will be made for a match pe-
tween clubs from other divisions on

English Railroads Drop
Tourist Tickets and Eats

London, May 22.-The congestion on
the principal English railroads and the
necessity for economy will result in
the suspension of tourist tickets and
the withdrawal of a number of dining
cars from service.
1t is thought that the suspension of
tourist tickets will cause a greatly les
sened volume of passengers on their
way to holiday resorts at considerable
distances from their homes. The with
drawal of the dining cars will also tend
TO prevent persons from taking long
and unnecessary Journeys. In addition
a considerable saving in coal and re-
pairs will result.
The transportation of military and
naval supplies is the most important
function of the English railroads at
present, and passengers and ordinary
freight must give way before the var
needs.

Common Sense VIII Stop
Horrible Rheumatism

The famous opie, a great English
painter, was once asked what he mixed
his paints with. "Brains," he replied.
Rheumatism cannot live long in a
body that is cared for by head full
of brains. Brains or common sense
is an avowed enemy to rheumatism.
The poisons with which every rheu-
matte body is filed, arise in the kid
neys, or stomach or blood. This
poison goes into the blood. It is
stronger than the ordinary force of
the blood. It lodges in the muscles
and joints. 1t gathers around nerves
and presses upon them. It inflames
the flesh. Pain comes and remains
until the cause Of the trouble, the
acids and poisons, are driven out of
the blood.

she raped loudly on the panel.

most have been an answer to her sum-

in front OF the two women and the
former again knocked loudly. He had
his hand on the dOorknOb and his

door opened in his face and Virginia

fiOurished an automatic pistol in his

such scenes of violence, fancied he

to his fallen adversary. Without
further ado, therefore, he caught Goes

But the victor in the struggle did

Virginia began railing at him
through Il storm of tears. She would
soon have been in Mysteries, but an
unforeseen diversion came from Jake,
who unceremoniOusly burst the frail
lock of the closet and bounced into
the room.
George COe, who was no coward,
would have tackled him then and
there, but the gunman leveled a wick

breast.
"You stand just where you are, Mr..
Coe," scowled Jake, cor I'll drill a hole

The discrepancy between the cord

Prof. Hugo Winkenwerder dean of the
