IN ERECT GOD'S TEMPLE IN EVERY HOUSEHOLD. URGES REV. HINGKLE That there is much in store for every life and that God has great things for each person to do was the belief expressed by the Rev. Milo Hinckle in his sermon at East Main Streets Friends church, Sunday. Extracts from th sermon are as follows: "Make the home God's temple so that people may feel it is dedicated to God's services. A simple service for humanity is an opportunity to serve God and the opportunity never comes twice. Has God blessed you with this world's good, and what are you doing with it?

I have more respect for the man who stays away than the one who votes carlessly. MISSIONARY DENIED ENTRANCE INTO INDIA Members of St. John's Lutheran church were informed today that the Rev.

MOUKIHN5 L.3 MUELLER TAKES STAND TO REPLY TO ALL CHARGES County commissioners decided Saturday afternoon to continue the hearing to determine the truth or falsity of statements affecting he ability and. integrity of John W. Mueller as bridge engineer. Additional testimony will be introduced Wednesday. As far as could be learned, all persons who Intend to testify against Mueller, have taken the stand with the exception of Alvin Threewits, who has information concerning bridges near Abington. After two days of hearing testimony, during which hearsay and rumor of any nature whatever was submitted, the only fact bearing directly upon any irregularity in the conduct of the office of bridge engineer was in regard to the contract for the fill for the temporary bridge, which was testified to by T. J. Stevens Saturday. Permits Change in Plans. Stevens alleged that Mueller In an oral statement to John Duke, prior to the letting of the contract, promised Duke to use cinders for the fill, although the specifications called for earth. Mueller explained and Stevens agreed with him that cinders made a tetter fill than earth, and consequently the county lost no money in the transaction, but rather made money through tbe fact that the cinders cost only 37 cents a square yard, while bids on gravel were 90 cents, but Wilfred Jessup, representing Peacock, made the following statement: "It is not any concern in this matter whether the county lost or made mon ey, but it is the practice of an engineer permitting one contractor to change specifications through an agreement prior to the letting of the contract, which concession is not given to the other contractors." Mueller explained that had he known cinders were available for the fill he would have specified them, and that it was merely through the enterprise of Duke that he was granted the concession. Engineer Mueller will take the stand in his own behalf Wednesday. BOWMAN PREDICTS 9,000 VOTES CAST L. S.

Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried: some days headachy, dull and unstrung: some days really incapacitated by illness. If we all would practice the drinking ct phosphated hot water before breakfast, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls wiih pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy, cheeked people everywhere. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our present mode of 'living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons in the bowels which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day. nerore tne fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day's accumulation of indigestible wast." and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advi?ed to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the Indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who h2d their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleepless nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone Its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system. Adv.
