business wns ruined by the Kwlndle.
In Philndclnhia. according to de
tectives. Ochmnn wns the ugent for the

He did this, it Is said, b) taking n few
ample furs to dealers and offering them
nt about half actual maiket value.
As n rule he had no difficulty get
ting fur merchants to ngree to take
from three to six thousand dollnrs'
worth of the furs off his hands at this

a hotel room nnd shown the turn. He
paid his money nnd took the furs to

Hut Dlmer. although he had heard
nothing of the scheme, wns suspicious.
He insisted he wanted an tnppraisal
mnde Orhmnn and Hernstein readily
igrerd he sn; s. So Dlmer went out
to Hnd an appraiser. Hv mere nreident
he ran into Hrenner. whom he knew

The safety report jus.t compiled by

resulting in disability of more than
three days. This is n marked improve

Body of Prospect Park Hero Back
The boil of Prlvnte Walter Schelble.
of Trospect Park, has reached his home
nt HIS Lafayette avenue. It wns ac- i
companled by n milltnr guard. The
funeral will probably take place to
omrrow. Private Seheible was attached I
to Company I), .Vlfith Infantry, nnd '
died overseas of pneumonia. The
American Legion posts of Delaware
County nnd the Hoy Scouts of the
neighborhood will attend.
On the train the hov developed
severe coughing spells, nnd death seemed
! close many times. The slightest move
ment of the point of the tuck would
I hnve meant the formation of an abscess
whith, physlclnns say, would have been
! fatal.
The tack rcmtlned In Its original
resting place, nnd all the jolts of the
train nnd the coughing had not budged
the point. So the anxious father
brought his boy to the Jefferson IIos
pltal yesterday. Thero the boy once
more faced death ns the bronchoscope
was being inserted tho forceps npplletl
to remove the tack.
Hut the surgeon performed the opera
tion skillfully nnd dexterously removed
the tnck from the lung without the
slightest Injury to tho boy. No anes
thetic wns administered nnd fifteen
minutes after tho completion of the
operation the boy wns declared per
fectly well.
TYPHOID IN ORPHANAGE
8wlmmlng Pond Near I. O. O. F.
Home Blamed 'for Twenty Cases
Twenty children in the Odd Fellows'
Orphnnnge, Chelten and Ognntz ave
nues, have been stricken with typhoid
fever during the last few days, accord
ing to Dr. A. A. Cnlrns. chief medical
Inspector of the Health Department,
All the typhoid crscs have been re
moved to the (lermantown and Epis
copal Hospitals, nnd physicians of the
Health Department yestcrdny gave all
the remnlning children nnd adults In
the home n thorough examination.
Dr. Cairns said last night he be
lieved the children got typhoid from
swimming in n pond near the orphan
nge. A careful examination of the milk
nnd footi nt the home proved, ho snul.
that they were not the cause of the
transmission of the disease. Also, he
said, the fact that no adults were nf
fected, showed the food was nil right.

USED AND ENDORSED BY SOME OF THE BEST-KNOWN MEN IN THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD
VOUR engine, fine as it may be, will be a better engine when Oildag replaces
oil as its lubricant. Oildag does more than lubricate. It builds new surfaces,
gradually, improving compression, reducing internal friction by half, insuring
longer motor life and less motor trouble, and marked operating economy.
Oildag's potency lies in the Colloidal Graphite
which it contains; a new form of graphite, produced
in the electric furnace, that has the power of com
bining with metal friction surfaces, forming an
amalgam as close grained and frictionlcss as polished
glass and with wonderful durability.
Dr. Edward G. Achcson, the genius of the elec
tric furnace, produced Colloidal Graphite and is the
man behind Oildag.
Fill your engine with Oildag. Daily you notice
improvement in its pulling power and its dash.
tter 2,000 miles, with the "graphoid" surfaces thor
oughly established, your engine is so free from fric
tion that it could run ftjr hours without a drop of
liquid lubricant, if your crank case were accidentally
drained, and no harm would result.
e are state distributor for Oildag. We arc just starting
and expect to wre uder and wider ten nones from week to week.
Hut ion need not wait. Comt tn our service station or look lor
the b k reen and yellow OILDAG sign that marks our dealers.
