'I felt it my duty to write you a letter of thanks for your wonderful Petersons Ointment. I had a running sore on my left leg for one year. began to use Peterson's Ointment three weeks ago and now it is healed" :" A. C. Gilbrath, 7O3 Reed Street, Erie. Pa.
 I'd rather get letter like that. says Peterson of Buffalo, than have John D. Rockefeller give me a thousa nd dollars. It does me a lot of sooG to be able to be of use to my fellow man.
 For years I have been selling through druggists a large box of PETERSoN'S OINTMENT for 5 cents. The healing power of this oint- ment is marvellous. Eczema goes in a few days. old sores heal up like magic; piles that other remedies do not seem to even relieve gre speedily conquered.

 A flash of hot. soaring anger. which astonished me. passed over mo at the bclittling phrase applied to the man who had Ndone us both such signal services. But with mighty effort of will power I was enabled to keep every vestige of it concealed. My com mon sense told me that Dicky. having relieved his mind by coneoct- ing the phrase and repeating it in my hearing. in all probability would never refer to it again, especially after the way l had taken his caustic jest.
 'T'll promise anything you like" I said carelessly. "if you'lI use your in- fiuence with your mother to let me out of here. She has declared that I mustn't leave this bed for two days. and must have all my meals carried mp. and all that sort of thing.

 He looked at me speculntively and sympatheticaIly. I saw that my ruse had succeeded. that he had put the incident of Maj. GrantIand's nick name as far from his mind as he be- lieved 1t to he remote from mine.

I'll tell you. there must he some pretty good physicians around here-there always are in these resort towns-and I'll have one run in today to look at you. Then if he says you're in no danger of an- other nervous collapse you can beat it pronto."
 After my first involuntary protest I accepted his plan as a good one. my doughty mother-in-Iaw would ac- cept nothing less than n physician's verdict. But all thought of that sub Ject was banished by the sight of Dicky-who had been dressing all the time he talked-fumblIng in his over coat pocket, the same one from which had dropped the pieces Of that torn telegram.

Church Completed
Committee Composed Of Sew
era! Faiths Studies Extent
Socialism Has Permeated
the Various Religions

Ralph NJ. Easley, chairman of the
executive council of the National
Civic Federation, in statement
issued last night, said that the re-
suits of an investigation Of the radical
tendencies in the various churches
would be set forth within the next
two weeks.
Easleys statement, while it disclaims
Federation responsibility regarding
criticism of the Rev. DR.. Bernard |.
Bell, president of st. Stephens College,
Annandale -on-the Hudson, discloses the
existence Of department on revolu
tionary movements, of which Dr..
Conde B. Pallen is chairman. This
department, it is said, has named a
committee to study "the extent to
which Socialism has permeated the
churches.'
"The church committeee," Easley
said. "is made up Of thirty men and
women OF the laity and clergy, and in
esbyteran, Protestant Episcopal,
Baptist and Congre gational representa-
tives, whose report on the radicalism
of the clergy and leading laymen in
their denominatiopal groups will be
subls tt',l at meeting of the fedora
ton to be held January 27 and 28."
Bishop Cha les Sumner Burch, Of the
New York diocese, yesterday refused
to comment on the report involving
criticism of Dr.. Bells alleged radical
utterances, nor did he discuss the
statements OF the Rev. Percy Stckney
Grant in the Church of the Ascension
last Sunday. in which the Fifth Avenue
rector asserted that the church should
be used as forum for social and eco
nomic discussion, regardless of the doc
trine of consecration.
Haley Fiske, president of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company and
a member of the board of trustees of
St. Stephens College, defended DR..
Bell as an liable man, no more a So
cialist than | am"
DR. Bell himself denied that he had
any connection with the Rand School,
profits and rent collecting wrong, bat
admitted that he had said the sociology
of st. Paul was bosh.
DIR. Bell said that Bishop Burch had
complimented him upon Whitsunday
sermon which was considered too radi-
cal by Everett Wheeler, Arthur 0.
Townsend and William Greenough, the
last two being attorneys.
1t was reported that Wheeler, Town
send and Greenough had prepared
report summarizing their views. Town
send limited that the action in regard
to DR.. Bell was only an incident in
general move to rid the Protestant
Episcopal Church of radicalism which,
he said, was especially rampant in the
denomination.
Townsend attacked DR.. Bells widely
discussed book. "Right and Wrong
after the War" and said the circula-
ton of such doctrine as this book con-
tains would do 'incalculable damage to
church and community, irremcdiable
injury to all society"

siding, said in passing sentence: 1T
is the purpose Of the court to see that
wrongdoing in Saratoga County shall
be stopped. 1t is not the intention OF
the court to be cruel, but to impose a
sentence which will show that wrong
doing shall not be condoned.'
When court convened it was rumored
that several Of those indicted by the
special grand jury in the gam bling
in lestigation would plead guilty, the
entrance Of former Senator Bracket
into the case as special assistant to
Deputy Attorney Bascom having
caused CONSERVATION in the camp
of the gamblers and bookmakers. A
large crowd, including persons from
all parts of the county, were present.
Latus's case was called first, and in
accepting the misdemeanor plea Dep
uty Attorney Bascom announced that
the defendant had been of material
aid to the prosecution and it was ex-
pected that he would assist in other
cases to be called. Just before the
DENIM case was called conference
was held between his attorney, w. E.
W Woolard, of Albany, and Mr.. Bascom.
with the result that the guilty plea
was offered.
Abram (Rachie) Brown, Of New
York City, and George Reno, charged
with conspiracy, were arraigned to-
gether, and both pleaded not guilty,
