Sickness and Disease Not Real

Christian Science teaches there is, in
reality, no such thing as Sickness or dis
ease. The sickness and disease are illu-
sions; not that il is hypochondria or imag-
nation in the common acceptance of
those terms, but that out in the great
scientific fact of being no such thing is
or can be found that sickness or dis
ease cannot properly be said to be a
part of being; that being, in its scientific
purity, is as free from sickness and dis.
ease now as it was possible for it to be
before the so,called finite world began, or
as it ever will be, when all seeming evil
is swept away and His kingdom is come
on earth.
Through the teaching and understand
ing that the ills of the flesh are not
the realities of being, the world is not
only being healed of its present load of
misery and wretchednsss but steadily and
quietly the work OF reformation and re
generation is taking place. not only in
those who have espoused this glorious
cause, but in the minds of all men ev-
erywhere who hear of its wonderful
teaching.

Ing umbrellas over 1t several years
ago. Crops of clover were planted but
failed to grow very we'll. Then hay
was next placed in rotation and that

This year the old clover which was
planted many years ago came up with
the hay and has, doubly enriched the

Time Fuses Near
Altoona.
THE MOTIVE A MYSTERY
Men Dressed AS Women
Said to Have Done the
Job.

ALTOONA, Pa, July 12.-Penn-
sylvania railroad detectives are in
vestigating today what appears to
have been a deliberate attempt to
either destroy railroad property or
to wreck trains at Bellwood. seven

early today.
Shortly before midnight while a
local train from Harrisburg was
passing q water station west OF Bell
wood, there was terrific explosion,
and an investigation revealed that a
heavy charge OF dynamite had been
put of with a time fuse.
Later railroad detectives and sig
nal men found So sticks OF dynamite
done up In packages containing eight
to ten sticks each with fuses attach
ed. They were scattered over the
four tracks and some OF the explosive
wal! found in a water trough between
theftracks.
Shortly before two a. m. there was
alsecond explosion about $50 feet
from the Bellwood station. Still later
there was an explosion of dynamite
in two passenger coaches which had
been stored for the night on the Bell
wood division track OF the Pennsyl-
yania at Bellwood. One was so bad
ly damaged that 1t is unfit for SER
vice.
An investigation showed that the
dynamite had been set of evidently
with time fuses. Patrols were sent
out Immediately by railroad officials
and all stations in the Middle dlvis-
tonwere notified to be on guard. All
trains east and west were held up
until the tracks were cleared.
It was reported early today, but
.not-confrmad; Athatftheetiynamite1was'
planted by two men dressed as wo-
men with the aid of accompllces hid
ing beneath a culvert near where the
explosion occurred.
The first explosion tore hole Is
inches deep in the ballast. but did no
material damage to the track.

similar to the British, and likewtss
can attack the German flank south Of
Belloy and Estrees. For the moment,
however. the two armies are engag-

Meanwhile the Germans renewing
the attack on Yerduns have icaptured

for time at the beginning Of June.
This position is the point Sfurtherest
from Verdun on the French line Of
defense. so that It's loss Il not taken

Cause Man to Rave

Atremendous sound as OF some per.
son. engaged in delivering passionate
plea emanated from the court house
this morning and mahy persons were
quickly gathered in the basement Of
the building thinking that some youna
attorney was making an address In
one OF the Justices courts.
This was not the case however and
the sound came from the room that
the elcity is still using for pail. Harry
McElfresh Of Clarksburg was taken
from a B. & o. train early this morn
ing and placed in the jail to allow him
tojrecover from a trip to Bellairc. The
heat or the brand OF liquor caused him
to rave and shout all morning. His
wife Of Clarksburg with one Of her two
little boys came to Fairmont about
noon and after Harrys rawlings had
abated he was taken home.
Another boy that Harry had taken
with him on the trip was lost and his

Lincoln District Protest Will
Be Argued Tomorrow
Morning.
BIDS FOR BONDS ARE IN
And Date Has Been Set For
Letting Contract for
Work.

A petition asking for an Injunction
restraining the county court from is
suing s650.000 bonds voted in Lincoln
district was filed today In the circuit
court and win be heard by special
Judge kemble White. Attorneys ]. A.
Meredith Of Fairmont and E. G. Smith
Of Clarksburg, appeared before the
county court this afternoon and ask.
ed that they be allowed a hearing on
behalf OF the citizens in Lincoln dis.
trict who contend that the recent
bond election was illegal and fraudu.
liant. The court will hear the men
tomorrow morning.
This afternoon the Lincoln district
committee who have been appointed
to superfntend the construction Of the
roads and to cooperate with the coun.
ty court in the matter held meeting
for the purpose of discussing the of.
fers that have been received for the
bonds. Both the court and the com.
mittee are going ahead with their
plans and are evidently not much con.
cerned with the claims Of the citizens
who hive instituted the Injunction
proceedings.
The date announced today for the
awarding Of the contracts on the Lin
coin district road work Is August 3.
The bids will be opened at that time
and as soon as the contracts can be
signed the actual work OF construct
ing the thirty.fye miles or more OF
road will begin.
The county court has received tenta.
tive offers from number Of bond and
banking houses in Ohio. The best Of.
fer yet received Is premium OF &c.
$40 from the Provident Savings bank
Of Cincinnati. The Fairmont district
bonds were, sold alta discount instead
OF premium. The members OF the
court have evidently learned few
things about bonds from thier expert.
ence in Fairmontland Manningtonidis.
triCs and this issue probably will be
placed at good advantage instead
Of O loss.
A representative OF this banking
firm arrived in Fairmont. last night
and held a conference with the court
today. He strongly advised the policy
OF using the sinking fund for the. puf-
chase of the outstanding bonds OF the
issue. The sinking fund heretofore
has only drawn four per cent. interest.
BY the plan Of buying our own bonds
on the open market five per cent. In
terest can be obtained and consider
able saving accomplished. Other Of
fers received to date for the bonds
are Tillotson and Walcott company.
Otis and Company. Handen Miller and
company. OF Cleceland. who figure the
premium to be worth s4,S50; and Sid
new Splitter company of Toledo, who
offer only s2.210 as premium.
]. R. Wilson. Of Warrington. who
was appointed chief engineer on tho
Lincoln district roads has been at
work preparing the estimates for the
various contracts. 1t is likely that
the road connecting Fairmont and
Warrington districts will be among
the first OF the new roads to be com.
pleted as the heaviest Of the traffic
of the roads in the district ia over this
pike. 1t is estimated by the court
that It will require all Of this season
and next Spring and Summer to com.
