one of the cleanest cities in the state?
Did the Mayor do it? No! Did
the ministers and the church people
do it! Yes, they did, with the good
aid of The Times. They fought
and sacrificed for the cause and the
honor for the victory will never fall
on the mayors head.
The mayor mentions the lodges.
They were not antagonized; but tell
me, if you know, and if you please,
who has built thousands of hospitals
and orphan homes in this and other
countrys. Who goes outside of their
own circle and helps up the outcast
and downtrodden? Who spends
millions of dollars to help the people
who sit in darkness? The church,
Mr.. Mayor. Any Sunday School tot
knows that and the mayor ought to
know it.
No mayor should play the city's
best citizens and the city's best insti-
buttons, it is unworthy a man placed
in that chair.
As to me and my audiences / can
truthfully say that for twenty-seven
years of my ministry never suffered
from lack of good audience and the
church attendance is as large today
as it was year ago. But they would
be larger yet were it not for the
young people being enticed away by
the Sunday theatre.
The agreement mentioned in a pre-
vious issue of "The Times" and re-
fered to by me is not identical with
that mentioned by the mayor and it
is doubtful if the mayor had anything
to do with that.
1t is hardly worth while for the
Executive to glory in detective work
done. We know who engaged them
the first time and the second time
influential power was brought to bear
upon the authority. The swift cur
rent swept him along.
The merchants of our city are al
right, but when an agreement is
made to close on Sunday and all but
one or two close the doors and stay
away from the store in good faith,
then-what are those who settle
down in the store for said day, open
the door and invite trade? They are
sneaks Mr.. Mayor. Did you get it?
| have heard that someone high up
is sore because we ministers asked
the merchants to close on Sunday.
Say, why did not he do it? Here is
the law:
Violation of Sunday. Sec. 1895.
Any person who shall keep open his
shop, warehouse or workhouse, or
shall do any manner of labor, bust
ness or work, except only works of
necessity and charity, or be present
at any dancing or public diversion,
show or entertainment or take part
in any sport, game or play ON the
first day of the week shall be pun
ished by fine not exceeding Ten
Dollars; and such day shall include
the time between midnight proceed
ing and the midnight following the
said day, and no civil process shall
be served or executed on said day.
If | was an executive and had
sworn to enforce the law and did not
do it, then l should consider myself
guilty of perjury.
Won't the mayor write something
in the future worthy of a Mayors
pen. CHR. CHRISTENSEN.

RED LIPS AND HEALTH

The first place that anemia, or thin
blood, shows is in the lips and gums
and the membranes that line the eye
lids. You may be naturally pale and
still be healthy but when these MEM
braneslose their bright red color your
blood is deficient in quantity or color.
Thin blood is danger. It invites
disease. The organisms of the blood
fight off disease germs. Thin blood
means less power to do this. For in
stance, when you cut yourself it does
not heal so quickly if your blood is thin
and weak.
To build up the blood there is one
remedy that has been a household word
for generation, DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. They tone up
the entire system, make the blood rich
and red, strengthen the nerves, in
crease the appetite, put color in the
cheeks and lips and drive away that
unnatural tired feeling. Plenty of sum
light, good wholesome food and fresh
air will do the rest.
Two books, Building Up the Blood''
and "What to Eat and How to Eat''
give just the information that every
mother of growing girl needs. They
are free. Write for them today to the

about by gradual solution of the
sewage problem along lines which
Harrisburg has already taken"
1--WE want to do all we can." re-
turned MIR. Lynch. "and we want to do
1t in an intelligent way. We think
we've done a great deal; we've spent a
great deal of money in constructing
our interceptors, in clearing Paxton
creek. Harrisburg, to our mind, has
done as much as any other city, and
more, perhaps, than most of them"
Flowers for Harrisburg
You've certainly made a mighty
good start" was Mr.. Emersons en-
thusiastic reply. You've collected all
your sewage into one big volume
and unloaded It on the other fellow
lower down. Now the State would
like you to finish the Job. You don't

In the course of the discussion Chief
Engineer Emerson handed the city
some verbal bouquets for the steps 1t
already had taken toward ultimately
solving the sewage problem.
Incidentally. Mr.. Lynch and Mr..
Emerson lightly spared over the re-
cent controversy between the State
and city on the sewage disposal ques-
'ticn. Both smilingly did a little polk
ing with their 'lefts" as they shook
hands with their rights, figuratively
speaking. 1t was all on the question
of whether or not the city had really
and fully complied with the States
order of July 25, 1911. Mr.. Emerson
pointed out that the requirements of
the order had never been entirely car
ried out; Mr.. Lynch with equal good
humor replied that the State had never

the opinion that the claimant has not
suffered the loss of use of his hand
