Pastor Charges Insincerity
Rev J. E. Eislinger, pastor of the
NJ. F. Church, said tonight that he
knew few places were closed in West
Berwick, but that in the uptown Sec
tions the candy stores and cigar and
newspaper stands were open for bust
ness.
Eve did not ask for Puritan Sab
BATH" he said, although we would
welcome that very thing. We asked
that Berwick be cleaned up; that gam
bling devices and betting be abolished.
The citizens committee joined the min
listers and the matter went to council
The borough authorities answered by
declaring for an old-fashioned Puritan
Sabbath. There is a question whether
they were sincere.
"The burgess modified this decree to
some extent by granting permission to
ice wagons, milk wagons and such
things to run on Sunday. 1t looks as if
the borough authorities were endeay-
oring to prevent the cleanup we had
demanded sby enforcing a law we did
not advocate but.which we believe in.
The coming week will determine
whether the borough officials are sim
cere or whether they have been bluff

Woman Tints Hair Many
Hues to Evade Police

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 2s.-Mrs.
Helen L. Wilder tinted her hair dif-
ferent color each time she visited pawn
shops to dispose of stolen articles
valued at thousands of dollars, ac-
cordng to information obtained by the
police to-day. Mrs. Wilder and her
husband, Carl L. Wilder, and William
Braid, of London, are held at the cen
tral police station charged with many
robberies.
Wilder has confessed, duplicating
his wife, and her makeup outfit has
been found. In the kit was a jar Of
reddish brown powder
In their visits to the pawnshops the
police were given different descriptions
Of the woman who pawned the jewelry.
On one trip she was described as black
haired. At another shop the police
were told that she had dark brown
hair. At another brokers' shop she
was described as having light brown
hair and another described her as red

That Sand0av Couldn't Lift

The girl that Sandow, Plachette and
numerous other professional strong
men could not lift defied the united
strength of five men at a private dem.
onstration in the Hotel Astor yester-
day afternoon Miss Annie Abbott
known as the Georgia Magnet" stands
about five feet two inches high and
weighs lis pounds. She is delicate as
puff ball in build, but is seemingly
lmpervious to the cave man tactics
brought to bear on her yesterday fer
demonstration purposes.
Medical men were present and the
general opinion was that there is moth
ing metaphysical about Miss Abbott:
powers, but that she uses the defences
OF the Japanese wrestler and the ele-
mentary leverage principles Of physics
She did what Johnny Coulan is doing
now in Paris. For four years she was
overseas, first with the British Red
Cross and then with the American
army, but no one succeeded in raising
her from the ground. When Sandow
challenged her they appeared together
at Windsor Castle before the King of

little Southern woman was more than
match for the enormous strength of

Miss Abbott claims to have control
of natural laws and to be able to n
crease or diminish the force Of gravi-
tation. but has no theory as to how it
is done and believes it is a gift handed
down to her from her father. She is
native of Atlanta, Ga. In soft, lisp
ing accents she encouraged bashful
males at the demonstration to try to
lift her. What actually transpred
was simple enough. Any one had a
chance to try to move her from the
foor-if he could.
The grip was below the arms. She
crooked at the elbow as she was seized,
but was equally resistant with her arms
hanging down beside her. There was
no other form of contact. Her whole
body was tense. Time and again she
was almost dragged out of her quaint
little blue silk frock, but not once did
her feet leave the floor. Her whole
body sagged and she had suspicion
of Houdini's straining wriggle.
After a convincing demonstration
with one man she was surrounded by
five. 1t wasn't their gentle handling
that kept her on the floor, either. They
used their united strength to lift her,
but bending one Of her knees behind her
she stood as firm as rock. In every

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's GRANDMOTHER Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance hun
dredfold
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can
always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre Of
your hair. e.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. This
ready-to-use preparation is a delight
full toilet requisite for those who de-
sire dark hair and a youthful appear
ance. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention OF disease.

WOMEN TOOPEN
SCHOOL KITCHEN
To Serve Noon Lunches AS Aid
To observation-disclosures Seals
To Be Sold

Mrs. q. c. Keister entertained the
committee of the Caild- Welfare and
Educational department of the Wo-
mans cub at her home on Church
ftleet, which was enthusiastically rep
resented by band of earnest women
who have the movement at heart.
Mrs. Keister, who is chairman Of
the Chid-Welfare movement, is Civ
ing her entire time to the movement
recently launched by the Woman's
club, and her efforts at this par
ticulaf time are directed to the sale
of Christmas Seals for assisting the
tubercular throughout this section, as
we'll AZ the national charity which
is too well known to require com
inent. Assisting Mrs. Keister in this
splendid work will be Mrs. Carl w.
~Aipor, both having had wide expert
ence along this line in other cities
before coming to Americas.
Coming up for discussion was the
vital need for health movement
among the children of the schools,
and a resolution was adopted at the
conclusion Of the discussion for the
establishment of a kitchen in the
basement of the Grammar school
building, from which place lunches
may be served at nominal cost.
This resolution was carried in view
of the fact that the school session
Is carried beyond the hour of the
monday meal, denying many chill
dfen the necessary midday nourish-
lhent which fits them for the after
neon session. Statistics were read
which shows an alarming percentage
Of andemourished students in the
schools, which brought forcibly be-
fore the club women the necessity of
immediate action.
IN the furthering of this movement
il is sincerity urged that the coop
Grafton Of the entire membership of
the Woman's club be given, together
with the support Of every other club
in the community.
Plans were formulated whereby
the community which met at Mrs
Keister's home will assist in putting
before the public the Christmas
Seals, adopting for their slogan,
christmas Seal Your Christmas
Nail and the purpose of selling the
reals win be tald with each seal.
