Salt rheum is one of the worst and unfortunately one of the most common of all diseases. How it reddens the skin, itches, oozes, dries and scales, and then does this all over again! Sometimes it covers the whole body with inflamed, burning patches and causes intense suffering, which Is commonly worse at night. Local applications may do some good, but they cannot permanently relieve.

The disease will continue to annoy, pain and perhaps agonize, until the blood has been puriled and the general health improved. Ask your druggist for Hood's Sar-saparilla, the good old reliable family remedy. It has given perfect satisfaction in thousands of cases. Insist on having Hood's Sarsajparilla, for no substitute acts like It. Get It today.

Interment in Grand View cemetery. "The Birth of a Nation." The stirring picture dramatization by Griffith of Thomas Dixon's novel, The Clansman," had a very successful run during its five presentations in Tyrone on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Large and enthusiastic audiences followed the thrilling story to its close at each performance. The people Vwho expected to see the story reproduced exactly as it is written were disappointed, for the writer of movie plays heeds first of all the necessity of being pictorial and changes plots, characters and situations to suit his purpose. Accordingly the.

theatre scene came at the close of the first part instead of at its beginning as in the book. This wonderfully realistic scene aroused much enthusiasm, but not so much as the battle scenes and the lurid effects, produced by the picturization of Sherman's march to the sea and the burning of Savannah. The Ku Klux riders furnished another exciting feature of this most thrilling portrayal of the troubles of the south during the -re construction period. A twenty-piece orchestra is part of the company which comprises as well many utility men who did their part toward making the play realistic. Delivered Series of Addresses.

Rabbi Wertheimcr, the learned Jew ish rabbi, who has since last Tuesday taught or preached twice daily in the Presbyterian church in this place, last evening delivered, the "last of his series of addresses. At every service ie has spoken to large congregations but last evening's exceeded all others in size. The other churches dismissed early and their attendants swelled the crowd at the Presbyterian church until by 8:15 only standing room was left. After a preliminary song service Rev. Bieber led in pray er and then the ex-rabbi told the story of his conversion from Judaism to Christianity.

Dr. Wertheimcr pro-faced his recital with a reading from the 107th Psalm so vividly descriptive of the lot of the Jew during his centuries of wandering. The speaker was born of German speaking Jewish orthodox parents and brought up strictly In. the law. The first incident he related was of the early morning prayer time of his parents on one particularly cold winter morning when they looked after their forty-five minute devotions before lighting a fire.

He was thankful for the privilege of devout parentage. He was early taught to spit out at the mention of Christ. He next showed himself a student at the reformed rabbinical school In Cincinnati. This was a step away from orthodoxy. This course took eight years.

His first call was to Dayton, where he officiated in an old synagogue. Preached 'monotheism, unitaranism and on social ques tions. He usually made.many gentile not Christian auditors of a Friday evening, did all the teaching In Sunday school on Saturday from 8 o'clock in the morning until 5 in the evening. Preached there ten years and had many friends among his own people. His present differences with his own people are not religious, but spiritual differences.

In Dayton he was often called upon to make addresses. He went to hear Bob Ingersoll in Cincinnati in. obedience to his motto: "Hear the other side." lie had read about sixty of Ingersoll's books. The speaker was happily married to a concert pianist and organist and they allowed themselves many musical treats. They had pleasant home and a darling child, when there came a crash that spoiled all earthly joys.

His wife died, leaving him widower with two children, this af-. fliction he murmured against" providence. His housekeeper proved to be a Christian Science missionary and soon the rabbi was imbibing this philosophy with his every meal. Next he came into contact with a spiritualistic judge and learned-something of the practices of spiritualism. His mental condition at this time was pathetic.

In his sorrow stricken and dazed state of mind, he fell in with some sunny disciples of- Christian Science, one of whom afterwards became Mrs. Wertheimer. He took courses in the new religion and became one of Mrs. Eddy's authorized agents. He afterwards became convinced of the futility and nonsense of this spurious imitation of Christianity.

Studying the symbolism of the Jewish atonement he became certain that there was virtue in the shed blood of Christ. He said to himself again and again: "God does something of the blood, Mrs. Eddy makes nothing of it." Still however the thoughts of Calvary repelled him. The 53d chapter of Isaiah helped him here as he began to glean other than Jewish meaning from Its teachings. The speaker then showed the successive steps by which the study of Isaiah and the other.

prophets led him to an undoubted belief that the man of the cross was the man of the throne. The composite unity of Jehovah puzzled him, but he oon settled this to his satisfaction from the Hebrew version of the Scriptures. The speaker showed how the Jews misread the meaning of the paSsover sacrifice. Dr. Wertheimer soon published a statement giving his change of position and denouncing Christian Science as a masterpiece of satan.

The rabbi closed with an enumeration of what he had been saved from in forsaking Judaism and Christian Science. i Advertise in tne Altoona Tribune, Former Warden of Sing Sing Will Answer Indictment Covering Prison Reform Work OSTENSIBLE CHARGE IS PERJURY White Plains, N. March The trial- of Thomas Mott Osborne, former warden of Sing Sing prison on an indictment, charging him with perjury in connection with investigations of the prison, will begin tomorrow before Justice Morschauser and. a jury in the supreme court Both District Attorney Frederick E. Weeks, who will; prosecute.

Osborne, and George Gordon Battle of counsel tor the defendant, have Indicated their belief it will take not longer than two days- to complete the jury. The witnesses Mr. Weeks will call include a number of Sing Sing inmates who testified before the indicting grand jury and probably Rudolph Diedling, who as a state prison commissioner investigated- Sing Sing conditions before the grand jury conducted its inquiry. The perjury charge against Osborne, arises from what are alleged to be conflicting statements before Commissioner Diedling in October and before the grand jury in December, defending Osborne's knowledge of immoral conditions in the prison. Interest in the trial has been heightened, here by.

iha ele.ver.th dts-. covery of a telephone device in the office of the district attorney. The private detective agency, whose agents are reported to have recorded conversations of Mr. Weeks, with his assistants and others, denied it was retained by Mr. Osborne or his attorneys.

White Plains, N. March 12 When Thomas Mott Osborne, wealthy retired manufacturer, lecturer, writer, Harvard graduate, twice mayor of Auburn, N. and .1916 Dodge lecturer 'at Yale, withdrew last December' as warden of Sing Sing prison at Ossining, N. Governor Charles S. Whitman announced that he assumed that Osborne would be re-appointed if 'acquitted of the charges contained in two indictments which had just been brought against him by a West chester county grand jury which for six weeks had been Investigating conditions at Sing Sing.

The indictment on which he is now being brought t3 trial accuses Osborne of perjury. The other pending bill charges him with neglect of duty and immorality. During his stewardship of approximately thirteen months at Sing Sing, Osborne organized a system of discipline, a personal-dealing method of conducting convict government, known as the Mutual Welfare League. under which the responsibility for their conductxwas imposed upon the inmates, was the outgrowth of a similar association which Osborne had, while chairman of the state commission on prison reform, organized at the state prison at Auburn after he had for six days lived a convict's life at Auburn under the name of "Tom Brown," in the fall of 1914. Tire progress of the Mutual Welfare League was watched by penologists, sociologists and others, including many men and women of note through out the country who believed they recognized in it a system of reform from within instead of from without, George Gordon Battle, of counsel for Osborne, arguing recently in the supreme court at Poughkeepsie on a motion to dismiss the indictments, emphasized what lie declared was the wide public interest in Osborne's methods.

"The eyes of the world are upon Mr. Osborne," Mr. Battle, declared. "Prison reform is on trial." Under the Osborne system the inmates elect delegates who in turn elect an executive committee. A court is appointed, either by the delegates or by the committee, known as the Mutual Welfare Court.

Before this tribunal are brought inmates charged with offenses constituting a breach ot prison discipline. The court" acquits or convicts, and Its verdict is always' subject to appeal to the warden, who approves or disapproves, Sergeants-at-arms appointed by the executive committee act on a prison police force, co-operating with the prison guards in maintaining order. At the head of this government of some men is the warden supervisor, advisor, final arbiter. Under this sys. tern Osborne believed the.

spirit of the inmates, and of Sing Sing as a One phase of this treatment of convicts was associated with the per-jury Indictment brought against Osborne, The prisoners were often voluntary confessors of crimes-committed within Sing Sing's wails, and Osborne members of the executive committee regarded these. admissions as confidential. This the which.OBborne took when he appeared as a witness before the grand Jury last December. At the recent" hear- ing on the motion to dismiss the in- dictments, Mr. Battle quoted grand jury minutes to show that Osborne had declined to reveal confessions of; immorality, made to'liim by convicts, the witness testifying that "there is no immorality case so far as the prison is concerned." A previous investigation conducted by Dr.

Rudolph Diedling, a state prison commissioner, had revealed that of nearly a score of convicts admitting immorality, some were officers of the Mutual Welfare League and had confessed to Osborne. Arguments on the motions to dismiss the Indictments indicated that, the perjury charge hinges on Mr. Osborne's grand jury testimony. that "there is no. immorality case" fthat is, whether -Mr.

Osborne had knowledge of such cases as existing at the time he was Many of these convicts had been Indicted, charged with immorality, prior to the two bills brought against Osborne. In February, Nathan. Kaplan, the first of these to be tried, testified in supreme court here that he had been "framed" b.V Osborne's enemies. The verdict in'. Kaplan's case was acquittal.

This charge that enemies were be hind the grand jury's Investigation of Sing Sing was made by Osborne as a grand jury and Mr." Battle in his argument to have "the Indictments dismissed.

Five witnesses testified at' the inquest.

II. C. Trout, operator of the turntable, was the first man called. Trout did not see the accident, hut. declared he had warned Grove about riding on an engine in the manner as when he sustained injuries.

Frank Specht, hostler at the said he saw Grove fall from the engine and went to his assistance. It developed that tho young man, who was acting as foreman at the time, had mounted to the tender of an engine which was being run onto the table. Another tender stood on the approach to the table. Grove gave the signal for the engineer to proceed, the locomotive started to back and the engineman looked to see that the table hit the track properly, when Grove, standing on a step, was crushed between the engine and the tank. A.

B. Champeno, a machinist, who was acting conductor at tho turntable last Tuesday, verified the stories cf the other employes. S. E. Thompson, a shophand, was next called.

He asserted the practice of boarding engines was dangerous. He saw Grove fall' from the engine, after being hurt. It was extremely hazardous for a thin man to attempt to ride between an engine and tanks, which are often left standing nearby, the witness said, and as Grove was of large physique and rather stout, the space was too narrow and he was fatally hurt. E. Moran, foreman, stated that uesday last was a clear day and that Grove could readily have seen his danger.

He displayed a map of the engine house and turntable. After queries propounded by the Jurymen- were answered, the evidence was considered and the following verdict was reached: "We, the following Jurors find from the evidence adduced that Benjamin Grove, came to his death by violating rules of the Pennsylvania Rail vv omens xoc Stockings, I2k pair Made of long, staple, c.ombed yarns, double Irish linen heels and toes.

Dealers in GOOD FURNITURE '-V Osborne had stated before the grand jury that he believed politics was behind the inquiry but that he denied at the same time that he had said in public speeches that b.e believed there was a "prison ring" engaged in a conspiracy to disrupt and disorganize the industries of Sing Sing. Prof. George W. Kirch wey, former-ly of Columbia university, succeeded Osborne as Sing Sing's warden, accepting the post, he said, as one actively identified with prison reform and intending to continue the work begun by his predecessor. He had been in office less than a fortnight when he went to Governor Whitman with a complaint that John B.

Riley, state superintendent of prisons, had ordered transferred from Sing Sing to another prison more than sixty con-, victs who included those prominently identified with the Mutual AVelfare League. Governor Whitman wrota Riley that the effect of this ordar "must be to break down the administration and render the warden's position intolerable." The governor demanded and received Riley's resigna- uop GROVE'S DEATH CAME Coroner's Jury Finds Young Penn-y Employe Violated Company's Regulations HAD BEEN WARNED, WITNESSES SAY That Benjamin Grove, aged 2' of 220 Beech avenue, the Pennsy ni-pioye who died from injuries sustained at tho East Altoona roundhouse last Tuesday, came to his death through his own negligence and by violating regulations, is the, verdict returned by a coroner's jury, following an inquest Saturday night.
