YOUNG WOMAN
HANGS HERSELF
''Good-by, Ben," Parting Mes
sage to Brother Before
Attempted Suicide

Waynesboro, Pa, April "a
"Goodby, Ben, this is the last time
you will see me-" was the parting
message of Miss Anna Myers, of
Fayetteville, near Chambersburg,
who was found hanging to the end
of a rope in the attic of her home,
yesterday by her brother, who quick
ly cut her down and sent for phy-
sician, who succeeded in restoring
heart action but not consciousness
up to a late hour last night, Her life
is in the balance and the chances are
against her recovery, as it is stated
that she also suffers from poison.
Yesterday morning Miss Myers
came to the door of her home with
other members of the family to see
some guests off, who were taking the
trolley to Chambersburg. Her broth
er, Benjamin Myers, was the con-
ductor on the car. AS the car moved
off, she exclaimed: "Good-by, Ben,
this is the last time you will see me-
Her brother paid no special attention
to the adieu, regarding 1t simply as
a joke. On his return trip he alight-
ed from the car and going into the
house, asked where Annie was. On
being told that she was probably, up
in her room, he mounted the stair
way only to find that she was not
there. He thought of the attic and
going up there found his sister sus-
pended from a rope and apparently
lifeless. He quickly cut her down and
ran for DIR. William Z. Holland. The
physician after heroic work. finally
succeeded in re-eStablishing heart
action, but the patient could not be
reused to consciousness.

"LET CHILDREN

Scriptures to Constables
to Enforce Dog Law

Chambersburg, Pa, April 24-"Let
the children first be filled; for 1t is
not meet to take the children's bread.
and to cast it unto the dogs" Judge
Gillian quoting from Scriptures, told
the twenty-five constables of Franklin
county in urging them to see that the
recently enacted dog law of the state
is enforced. I'VE are in the midst Of
a great war;" he continued: "Over
two millions of our fellow citizens are
under arms; many more are being
called. Not only must they be fed.
but the people of the allied nations as
well. and they must be fed by us. We
are engaged in a most necessary and
righteous war. The civilization of
the world depends on a victory of
the allied armies. Any American who
in this hour does anything, either
by way of commission or omission, to
hinder the successful conduct of the
war dishonors the flag of his country
and forfeits his claim to the title of
citizen of the United States. Let it
not be said that in this country one
ounce of food which should go to a
human being shall be consumed by a
worthless dog whose owner Is not
willing to eXpend one dollar year
for license which would protect
him.
IT know it is only necessary that
your attention be called to your duty
under the law. But your energy will
be quickened when you think OF the
unspeakable Hun whose object is to
conquer and rule this nation"

much better than the most expen-
sive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-

manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut

very, cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the FAM

delivered q war sermon on Prayer
and Patriotism" which created such
profound impression that some of

message in the interest of patriotism.
Mr.. Hunt repeated the sermon last

sage consisted of a careful study of
Hezekiah and hfs intercession before
God during the siege of Jerusalem.

was threatened by the army of Sem
nacherib. Parallels were pointedly
drawn between'the ancients tscrisis and
the present world war.
