writes:
"I Suffered with
catarrh of the bron
chial tubes and had
a terrible cough ever
since a child.
"I would sit up In
bed with pillows
propped up behind
me, but still the
cough would not let
me sleep. I thought
and everybody else
that I had consump

"So reading the
papers about Pe

try, without the
least bit of hope that
M „ It would do me any

ing three bottles I noticed a change.
My appetite got better, so I kept on,
never discouraged. Finally I seemed
not to cough so much and the pains In
my chest got better and I could rest at
night.
"I am well now and cured of a chronic
cough and Sore throat. I cannot tell
you how grateful I am, and I cannot
thank Peruna enough. It has cured
where doctors have failed and I talk
Peruna wherever I go, recommend it to
everybody. People who think they
have consumption better give It a
trial."

ure yourself. Then tak*? Sargol—one
tablet with every meal—for two weeks.
Then weigh and measure again. It isn't
a question of how you look or feel or
what your friends say ami think. The
scales and the tape measure will tell
their own story, and most anv thin man
or woman can easly add from five to
eight pounds in the first fourteen days
by following this simple direction. And
best of all. the new flesh stavs put
Sargol does not of itself 'make fat
but mixing with your food, it turns the
fats, sugars and starches of what you
have eaten, into rich, ripe fat produc

blood prepares it In an oasily assi

passes from your body as waste. But
Sargol stops the waste and does it
quickly and makes the fat producing

TUESDAY EVENING,
EMPEROR WILLIAM,
OF GERMANY, IS 55
YEARS OLD TODAY
Birthday Is Occasion For General
Holiday in All Parts
of Country
Special to Tkt Telegraph
Berlin, Jan. 27.—Emperor William
celebrated his flfty-flfth birthday to
day, hale and vigorous in body and
mind, and able still, as was shown by
his recent wood chopping exploits, to
undertake the physical work of a man
In the prime of life. All clusses of his
subjects joined in observing the duy,
celebrations being held by the univer
sity and technical school students, by.
the Academies of Arts and Sciences,
by army and navy officers, by civic
organizations and by municipalities
and veteran associations throughout
the empire.
The day in Berlin was ushered in
by the traditional sounding of a choral
from the lantern of the castle dome
by a corps of trumpeters at 7 a. m.
and by the "grand reveille" by massed
military bands, which marched from
the castle to the Brandonburg gate,
the whole length of the crowded Unter
den Linden ;ind return.
After divine service in the royal
chapel his Majesty held a birthday
levee and received the congratulations
of his ministers, of the ambassadors
and ministers accredited to the Ger
man court, of the high military and
naval authorities and of the court
society.
Sleets U. S. Ambassador
In the progress of the diplomatic
corps through the Linden to the castle,
always a great attraction for the
spectacle-loving citizens of Berlin, the
United States ambassador, James W.
Gerard, in an automobile and wearing
civilian attire, without gold braid or
decorations, was a conspicuous figure
among the foreign representatives, all
in gorgeous uniforms covered with or
ders and riding in their carriages of
state. His Majesty had a cordial
greeting for Mr. Gerard and conversed
for several minutes with him.
The levee was followed by a cus
tomary military event, the giving out
of the password for the day, which
was, as always, "Long life to his Ma
jesty." The emperor, attended by his
sons and followed by a glittering
suite, walked from the castle to the
guardhouse near the arsenal, where
all the officers in Berlin were assem
bled for the ceremony.
High Honors Conferred
The highest honor conferred to-day
was to Prince Guido Henckel von Don
nersmarck, who received the Black
Eagle. He is a member of the
"princes' trust," in which his partners
are Prince Maximilian Egon zu Fuerst
enberg and Prince Christian Kraft zu
Hohenlohe-Oehringen, and which pos
sesses enormous interests in real es
tate, mining and shipping concerns.
A newspaper publisher, August
Scherl, proprietor of the Lokal An
zeiger and numerous other publica
tions, was honored with the second
class of the Red Eagle with the star.
The same decoration without the
star was conferred on Professor Paul
Ehrlich, the eminent physician.
Dr. Wilhelm Bodea. the director of
the Royal Museums, was raised to the
hereditary nobility.

opened with a talk on "Proof Through
Its Unity." Mr. Jennings showed that
though the various books were written
at intervals and by writers who lived
far apart and had different customs,
yet the spirits is the same, and this
unity shows its divine nature.
In the evening he talked of the
"Proof Through Its Difficulties." He
said the Book is shown to be divine
because of the inspiration which made
the authors write things that were
frequently beyond human intelligence
and could be understood only through
faith in the Word.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
CLEAR HARDSCRABBLE
BY CHANGING STREET
LEAGUE SUGGESTION
Municipal League Proposes That
Front Street Be Rua Through
Settlement
Proceedings incident to the straight
ening of Front street from Herr to
Oalder were suggested to City Council
this afternoon as the most feasible
plan for the elimination of "Hard
scrabble."
The suggestion was offered by a
committee of the Municipal League
and is similar to the scheme embodied
In the "Hardscrabble" ordinance of
several years ago, which died ill the
lower branch of Councils.
"Hardscrabble" is the district lying
west of Front street between Calder
and Herr. The section of Front street
upon which it faces lias never been
formally opened. By straightening
the highway to conform with the city
map. the street would extend directly
through the houses in the section in
question.
Following the adoption of an ordi
nance formally opening the street, the
city could then apply to the Dauphin
County Court for the appointment of
viewers to assess damages and benefits
that would arise from the suggested
improvement.
The damages the city would be
liable for would probably run into
some thousands of dollars.
The matter was discussed before
Council by Ross a Hlckok, ex-Com
mon Councilman, who fathered the
original "Hardscrabble" ordinance.
In addition to the discussion of the
"Hardscrabble" matter, the extension
of the park system, the building of the
public comfort station and some of
the other matters generally covered
by the new Improvement loans were
referred to by members of the league.
The program was mapped out at a
meeting of the executive committee to
the league held shortly after noon.
Among the members of the league
present were the following:
Ross A. Hlckok, Vance C. McCor
mick, J. Horace McFarland, Herman
P. Miller, William Jennings, J. Aus
tin Brandt and James M. Lamberton.
Wants Congress to
Change Its Time of
Meeting by Amendment
Washington, D. C.,« Jan. 27.—Sen
ator Shafroth, of Colorado, is pressing
the Senate judiciary committee for
favorable action on his resolution to
amend the Constitution so as to make
the date of the convening of Congress
the first Monday in January following
the election instead of March 4, and
to have the term of the President be
gin the third Monday in January in
stead of March 4. In a statement pre
sented to the committee the senator
asserted that the proposed change in
the date of the opening of Congress
would prevent such a situation as
arose in the Hayes-Tilden controversy
in 1876 by making it Impossible that
a House composed in part of members
who had not been re-elected should
decide the election of a President.
Under his plan the newly elected rep
resentatives would settle such an issue.
Other arguments made by Senator
Shafroth in favor of his amendment
were that it would abolish the short
session: members would come fresh
from their campaigns to Congress be
fore they had time to forget their
pledges to the oeople, and legislation
by men who had failed of election
would be elimited.
Efforts Will Be Made
to Unionize Employes
of Federal Government
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Jan. 27. —A gen
eral campaign is to be conducted by

ernment employes, Secretary Morrison,
of the federation, announced to-day.
This step is in accordance with the
resolution adopted by the executive
council of the federation in session
here last week. It is proposed, ac
cording to Mr. Morrison, to bring as
many government employes as pos
sible into existing unions and then to
create new unions for those whose
line of work has not yet been union

Keeping the Body In Repair
Nature intended that the body should do its own
repairing—and it would do so were it not for the
fact that most of us live other than a natural life.
Nature didn't intend that we should wear corsets, tight collars or
shoes, nor live in badly ventilated and draughty houses, nor eat and
drink Bome of the things that we do, nor ride in street cars when we should walk.
The conseouence is that the body when it gets out of order must look for out
side help to make the necessary repairs.
For weak stomachs and the indigestion or dyspepsia resulting, and the multitude
of diseases following therefrom, no medicine can be more adaptable as a curative
agent than DR. PIERCE'S GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
This famous Doctor's prescription has been recommended for over 40 tuh,
and is today just as big a success. Restores a healthy appetite. Cleansea the blood.
