He is just plain John J. Steinmetz, a citizen of the United States, of German lineage, born at Louisvilie, Keatucky, a fol- lower of the doctrine of spiritualism and a consorter with the departed spirits -of the lost Indian tribes, who is at present domiciled in a humble little Cottage IA this village, and who is advertising his calling by a big pla- card stuck in the front window, bear- ing the solemn words, "Divine Beal- er." The only mystery that remains is why there ever should have been a mystery. e • For several' weeks Mr. Steinmetz, has been operating at this point, and it is only a few days ago that the out side Portions the proVince wer startled with the anuoutkeement car ton declared, "He was a big eater and kept us up •all hours of th night, said he had to eat a lot because his relations With, the spirit took a lot out of him. Sometime he would. sleep half the forenow and expeet me to get him breakfas at any time, so I got tired waitin on them hand and foot." Besides i appears, there was some difficult over the clothing which the Diviu Healer had suggested should be WOr by the gee Elsie: l'Ile wanted t dictate the kind of clothes she wore.' Mrs. APpleton declared, "and he wa even trying to parade her around th town, wearing- a striped black an white toque to advertise her an show just how lie had made a cure. That, according to Mrs. Appleton was too much for her, so ,the 'friendl relations of the Divine' Ilealer„an Mrs. Appleton became strained, an 'the Healer left with. his family t take up his residence with Mr. Thos APpleton, a widower, at the sam time, IVirs. John Appleton declare that,"the Divine Healer didn't do th girl a partical of good." • There are others in Crediton, how ever, who differ entirely. That wa evidenced by the fact tliat when Mr Steinmetz called, his meeting togeth er this afternoon, there were at leas THE NEW TAXATION • OTTAWA, Nay 23—Thd n new tax- a atioannOUneed Hon. S.

Just why there should have been any mys- tery aS to the map's identy is some- thing which the Steinmetz's and the people of Crediton cannot understand though it is.a feet that the 'citizens o Exeter, Which is about six ,miles dis- tant, appeared to be in the habit of • to • him as "the unknown man:" only person in Exeter,. who could be located, who seemed to know his name, Was a woman of the same spiritualistic beliefs who made the statement that she had been aP- proached by the "Divine Healer" with the suggeStion that she should take`a part in a- spiritualistic seance, with the possible objective of becoming a , medium., . Based on Spiritualism. Judging from the 'address deliv- ered by Mr.- Steinmetz this afternoon to a gathei.ing of „,:abbiat One hundred people, ma,uyy.op,541tot-:,had. traveled for long miles...45,110-firliim, hemakes little secret' c;filrilae'f'ltbathe- is` an unusual typ'edfhdei',in hiS whole belief in divine' il,e4ling is based on spiritualism: Jusinewhy thee'Divine healer should have chosen such a humble site.aeoa Modest coitage in this modest villagefor the ,scene of his operations, was a little difficult for some to 'underStalnd. But the story is a ,simple one.. 4- present he and his wife and their five -year -Old daughter are 'living, with .Mr: Thos. Appleton, a 1aborerw11 up in years, who: contends that he was prostrated upon a sick hed, strtiggling with pain and appendicitis, When • the 'Divine healer, by the, ab:Plication of his hands, and his "healing water," on two occasions drovp, the pain away , and made of Mr. Appleton, a new man. Mr. Appleton 'assuredly was walking about his owat premises to- day with every evi4enPel,of being a well man. But pribi. to taking up his residence in the: home of Mr. Thos. Appleton, the 'Divine healer was located at anotlaei. li§ine--thp,t of Mr. John Appleton, a brother of The's: Appleton. From that home accor ing to the emphatic' declarations' Of .Mrs. John Appletonhe was ejected beca,uSe "he had foinned the habit of meddling ib the affairs of the fam- ily." So the history of, the Divine healer in Crediton lias not beenoen- tirely a pleasant one' The first home in which he appeared.wai that of Mr. John AppletOn, to , ,,,which place lie came directly from1Detroit. • According to the Statement of Mrs. John Appleton, Steinmet,z first came into the family last fall, when lie rented a house on Iroquois Ave. in Detroit, from a relative of the AP- pletons. There he made known the fact that he had been a healer for.the past eleven Years, and since John Ap- pleton had a 27 -year-old ` daughter, Elsie, in a hospital at London; the family were prevailed upon to haye the girl removed from the institution and taken to Detroit for the Divine healer to cure. She was • removed from the hospital in October last, and Spent five months in the home of the Steinmetzs on Iroquois .Avenue. "When I visited them," my. John Appleton stated, "I suggested to Mr. Steinmetz that there were plenty of People around Crediton who were stiffering from various diseases and that if he could come over to Can- ada, he could do a lot of good." So Mr. Steinmetz came, bringing the daughter Elsie. After that,: accord- ing to MrS. Appleton, the three ,mem- bers of the Steinmetz family spent a month in the home of John Apple- ton. They were boarded and lodged free for treatments given the girl), Elsie, in addition to being given one hundred dollars for' the services of 'the Divine r-Tetile,r in Detroit, Dot Tixed of Asked as to why there had, been a feeling 0,f coldliess growing up to- varcls tbe Divine Dealer', Ivire. AlMie' • 1'351; new!" teen, seated on long benches, that there Were as many, more outside, and that many OM them had come from a considerable distance in the hope of getting a cure. . .Services Simple The Divine Healer conducts his services in a simple • manner. • He opened with a ritual prayer, follow- ing which came an orchestral hymn number played on the gramophone, the notes coming seftly at first and then 'gradually gaining in svialumn. Next came an hour's address, during 'which Mr. Steininetz made it Perfect- ly plain that he was not a Miracle Man, but that he was just a Divine ,Healer, "doing no more titan any one •of you could -do if -you get your souls in the 'pro Pei' tune, With.' GO it" : There were plenty to accept the suggestions of theDivineHealer.‘ There were so many, as a matter of Tact, that he feiind it • difficult :to 'break away long enough. to Jet :the press learn a few details about him- self. Judging from the crowd, he be- lieved he would be until eleven o'- clock at night before he applied ,his hands and his healing water to all the applicants, as each . patient takes about ten or fifteen minutes. The day it appeared, was slightly -a- bove normal, the average number be- ing about forty, with sixty-two treat- ments the largestaininlierto be given in ond,d,dy. , ' Makes no Charge. As to pay,. Mr. Steinnietz made it Plain in his address that he has no charge. Some people, he pointed out had been kind enough to leave dol- lar bill. In many respects the citi- zens of Crediton appear to be divided as to whether or not to take the same vieWpoint as Mrs. Lawson. There, are several who say that after - they gave up their regular medical treatments and , tried the Divine Healer, they felt better for ,a time, then finally decided, , "there was nothing in it," and 'so went back to their regular medical men. The be- lievers and the unbelievers seem to be about evenly divided, while there are others who renaain neutral. One of the believers is, M.S. John Gower, w of Shipka, 'ho declares that she tra- veled some distance and was almost instantly' cured 'of rheumatism. A I Mrs. Jas. Hamilton, -of Mount Carmel I according te the statements of citi- zens, has given a demonstration of ,running -up and down steps, after re- ceiving treatment, where -before, she was crippled as a result of a motor accident, while a Mrs. John SimmS, declares that,she has been cured of stemache trouble. The Divine Heal- 'er gives his age as 50, though he ap- pears much younger. He is around 'five -foot -six, robust in build, with coal -black hair, Is clean shaven, and has a general appearance entirely the reverse of what one would expect- in a wonder worker. Wearing a grey suit, with striped necktie, he suggests, more nearly a successful type of mid: dle-class ,business man.
