    BUST DEVELOPED
ONE OUNCE
' A DAY
Judge from my picture as to th«
truth of what 1 say to vou—that the
crowning feminine attribute is a bust
of beautiful proportions, firmness and
exquisite development. Then ask your
self how much you would like to have
such a photograph of yourself, showing
the glory of womanhood with its lines
of infinite charm ana grace. It would
be worth far more than a two-cent
stamp, would It not? Then let me give
you my message—let me tell you of
what I have learned and let mo give
you recent pictures of my self to prove
what I say—for If you will write me to
day
I Will Tetl YcuNlow—FßEE
1 will tell you gladly and willingly.
Why should any woman neglect an op
portunity to escape the pain and heart
ache of being skinny, scrawny angular
and unattractive in body? Misery is
not our heritage. Nature planned that
you—a woman—should have the rich,
pulsing lines of warm, living flesh
molded after the mother of us all, the
description of whom, perfumes our
sacred literature with love and admira
tion for the divinity of woman's form.
For why should there be that pitiful
aspect—the face of a woman and the
form of a man.
Write To Me Today
I don't care how fallen, or flaccid, or
undeveloped your bust now is—l want
to tell you of a simple home method—l
want to tell you how you can gain per
fect development one ounce a day. No
physical culture—no ruissage. foolish
baths or paste—no piasters, masks or
injurious injections—l want to tell you
of an absolutely new method, never be
fore offered or told about—lnsuring im
mediate success and permanent beauty.
Send No Money
Just write me a letter—address It to
me personally—that's all. I will ans
wer it by return mail —and you can
develop your bust one ounce a day—you
can be what you want to be. Believe me
when 1 say that you will bless me
through years of happiness for pointing
the wav to you and telling you what I
know. Please send your letter to-day
to the following address:

This Long Remedy

threatened with Lung Trouble would
investigate the many cases where re

"Gentlemen: Last December I took a
sudden cold which developed Into Pneu

could for me, but could not clear my
lungs. One day I" saw a testimonial in
one of the papers telling of the good re
sults someone bad from taking Eck
man's Alterative for a trouble of the
lungs. I began taking it and soon felt
good results. My lungs began to clear
up and I began to gain in strength and
was soon well enough to take up my
work again. I am in better health
now than I have been at any time. I
am a missionary worker for the New

other years aa this is the flrat year
the present company has been In exist
ence. It has been a profitable year
and a number of extensive Improve
ments for the benefit of the Mr. Har
risburg Passenger who takes his 235
rides every year.
Pay-as-you-enter cars have been in
creased in number by the purchase
of seven new cars and the overhauling
of fourteen others. report says
this pay-as-you-enter type has been
adopted as the standard of the com
pany, as they materially reduce the
accidents to passengers. The com
pany operates forty-two cars of this
type.
Another convenience to slr. Pas
senger has been the installation of the
electric push button in the cars. Ac
cording to the report only seventeen
of the 129 cars owned and operated
by the company do not have the elec
tric buttons. Not only have the cars
been made more convenient and safe,
but tracks have been laid to parts of
the city and nearby towns where there
has been need of additional traffic fa
cilities. The most important extension
made this year is the Rockville line
where approximately 3,000 feet of
trackage has been laid. The other ex
tension was the laying of 1,070 feet
to form a new loop from Prospect
street to Twenty-first street. This gives
a more convenient approach to Reser
voir Park and better service to Belle
vue Park.
In addition to these extensions, ap
proximately 10,000 feet of trackage I
either was relaid or resurfaced and
paved, and sections of tracks which
had fallen into disuse were removed
In Third street from Chestnut to Mul
berry street, and in Meadow Lane from
Second to Third street, lines that had
been in disuse for years. These tracks
were removed because of the agree
ment with the Pennsylvania Railroad
by which a line to Rockville was made
possible.

"During the year, we converted four
teen (14) closed cars with open plat
forms, into the Pay-Within type, which
it has been the policy of your Board
to make a standard type of car, and
which has materially decreased the ac
cidents to passengers boarding and
leaving the cars, and has been generally
very satisfactory to the patrons and
employes. While converting these cars,
they have been given a general over

buttons have been Installed, which en
able the passengers to signal the mo

These improvements have proven a
great advantage to the passengers.

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
I % pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2% ounces of Pinex (fifty
cents' worth) in a pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. Take a teaspoonful
eveir one, two or three hours.
t This simple remedy takes hold of a
cough more quickly than anything else
you ever used. Usually conquers an
ordinary cough inside of 24 hours.
Splendid, too, for whooping cough,
spasmodic croup and bronchitis. It
stimulates the appetite and is slightly
laxative, which helps end a cough.
This makes more and better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made
for $2.50. It keeps perfectly and tastes
pleasant.
Pinex is a most valuable concen
trated compound of Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural pine elements which are
BO healing to the membranes. Other
preparations will not work in this plan.
Making cough syrup with Pinex and
sugar syrup (or strained honey) has
proven so popular throughout the United
States and Canada that it is often
imitated. But the old, successful mix
ture has never been equaled.

Power Plant
"The power plant is in very good
condition and working very economic
ally. A contract has been awarded
William B. Scaife and Sons Company,
to increase the water softening and
filtration apparatus, which has become
too small for the present output of the
plant.
Honilway and Track
"During the year we extended the
Market street ahd Whitehall street loop
from Prospect street to Twenty-first
street, which is the entrance to Belle
vue Park, which increased the track
age of this loop 1,070 feet.
"We also extended the terminal near
Rockville from the old location in
Ott's field, to a point about three hun
dred (300) feet east of the Rockville
bridge. This extension was made pos
sible by an agreement with the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company giving us
consent to occupy the old towpath of
the Pennsylvania Canal Company, and
providing us with a piece of ground
along the Fort Hunter road for a termi
nal, increasing your trackage approxi
mately 3,000 feet. This will be a great
convenience to the patrons, and, we be
lieve, will tend to increase the traffic
on that division.
"On account of the paving of the
streets, we resurfaced and paved Sec
ond street from Woodbine to Emerald
streetß, amounting to approximately
1,130 feet of single track; resurfaced
and paved 382 feet of single track in
Berry hill street between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets; resurfaced and
paved the piece of double-track on the
Steelton division on the State highway
(Cameron street extended) between
Harrisburg and Steelton, amounting to
2,656 feet of single track. We rebuilt
3,400 feet of single track with new,
heavy grooved rails In Race street
from Vine street to the Dock Street
Bridge, and paved the portion with
asphalt for which the company is re
sponsible. The old brick paving had
been in service about nineteen years
We also replaced 1,60 feet of sinitle
track, light rail construction, with
heavy grooved rail in Main street, from
Wood street to Eagle Farm Curve in
Middletown.

congested highways are pouring in the
maintenance division of the depart
ment from counties along the eastern
border of the State.
Approximately SB,OOO has been spent
by the State Highway Department dur
ling December, January and February
! for the removal of snow. Up to noon
to-day, according to a statement issued
Iby the State Highway Department,
I more than this amount has been au
thorized by the maintenance division
for snow removal in counties where
the main highways and township roads
have been obliterated by the blizzard's
force. In Montgomery county SB,OOO
will be required to remove the snow
and open the roads for traffic. Bucks
county, where the fury of the blizzard
reached its height, has not been heard
from, but George H. Biles, mainte
nance engineer, under whose direction
the removal of snow is being carried
on, says that he expects it will take
fully as much if not more to clear
Bucks county than has been author
ized for Montgomery.
Virtually every county east of the
Susquehanna river and many of the
northern tier counties report road
traffic at a standstill.
To Continue Warm
Signs of the disastrous storm had
about disappeared to-day. Last night
the wind died down as the tempera
ture went up.
Continued fair and warm weather
for two or three days Is the promise
given out at the local weather bureau.
Trains on the Pennsylvania railroad
were making time to-day except those
on the New. York division which were
still running from one to three hours
late. The first through train from
New York reached Harrisburg to-day
at noon. Men who were sent east to
help clean away the snow drifts re
turned home to-day. On the Phila
delphia division all trains were mov
ing on schedule time between Phila
delphia and Harrisburg.
Normal Conditions Are
Beginning to Exist in
New York and Vicinity
By Associated Press
New York, March 3.—New York
continued to-day to dig itself out of
the snow. The weather is fair and the
temperature rising with warmer days
in prospect, according to Weather Bu
reau announcements, to aid the army
of snow shovelers at work in the
streets and on railroads in the storm
area. With a foot of ice and snow
packed hard upon the heavy casing
of snow left by two previous storms,
the city is assuming something like
normal conditions after thirty-six
hours of blizzard weather. The re
moval of snow from streets and side
walks is the chief occupation of prac
tically every person not otherwise em
ployed, and everywhere in the greater
city the man with a pick and shovel
is the most prominent figure next to
the great mounds of snow left by the
previous storms which he builds still
higher. It was estimated that in New
York and vicinity, including the em
ployes of the railroads, that an army
of 50,000 men is engaged in raising
the snow embargo.
Journeys Resumed
Street car and railroad traffic Im
proved to-day. All trunk lines with
terminals in New York, Jersey City,
Hoboken and Weehawken began mov
ing trains to distant points for the first
time in two days and hundreds of
passengers marooned in stations re
sumed their journeys.
Mails that have accumulated be
cause of the traffic tie-up began mov
ing and local telephone service, which
was interrupted and in some instances
suspended, was almost normal. With
the resumption of railroad traffic the
threatened milk and meat famine
passed, and it was believed that the
supply of coal would be sufficient be
cause of the warmer weather. Diffi
culty in moving coal resulted in much
suffering during the past several days,
especially among the poorer classes.
Inability to make deliveries also re
sulted in a shortage of beer, and with
it the price advanced. This condition
was not expected to continue long
to-day.
Twelve Persons Dead
In the city and its suburbs twelve
persons are dead as a direct result of
the storm. Three of the lives lost
were those of laborers employed in
removing snow on the Long Island
Railroad. They were run down by a
motor train. Two other men. one a
snow shoveler, were killed by Long
Island Railroad trains. Two other
victims of the storm were killed by
fallen electric wires in Newark.
Wire communication with points
South and West, while far from nor
mal, was improved to-day.
Railroad traffic demoralization In
the East will result in heavy losses
by the theatrical interests. Several
touring companies are known to have
been delayed on Sunday and yesterday
and others are en route between cities.
The Charity Organization Society
made public a statement to-day in
which it was estimated that more suf
fering among the poor resulted from
the storm than any other In many,
years. It reported that yesterday it
had 2,781 families in its care, 546
more than last year at this time.
Philadelphia Recovering
From Effects of Storm
By Associated Press
Philadelphia, March 3.—This part
of the Middle Atlantic States is rap
idly recovering from the effects of
Sunday night's blizzard. «The Phila
delphia and Reading Railway sent out
its first train to New York since Sun
day at 7 a. m. to-day. The Pennsyl
vania Railroad, which resumed partial
service last night, announced that its
passenger traffic over the New York
division would be almost normal by
noon. One of its four tracks was still
buried under a 15-foot snowdrift at
Bristol. Pa.
Trains to the west and south are
proceeding from here with little delay
and all suburban steam lines are open.
Freight traffic in all directions remains
practically at a standstill. Malls from
New York were greatly delayed, none
having arrived in this city since Sun
day.
Four Philadelphia theaters were
closed last night because of the non
arrival of companies, but they are ex
pected to reach the city during the
day.
Pennsylvania passenger trains from
the West that had been held at Al
toona because of the blockade on the
New York division were started on
their way east last night.
Snowfall Furnishes Work
For Thousands of Men
By Associated Press
New York, March 3. Work for
thousands has been furnished in New
York and vicinity by the snowstorm.
No one willing to Join the army of

companies have applied to the mu
nicipal employment agency for large
numbers of laborers.
Besides its regular force the street
cleaning department had 5,000 men at
work removing snow last night and
to-day it was estimated t*-» 15,000
more would be needed If the principal
traffic streets were to be cleared of
snow. At the municipal lodging house
and the many charity missions it was
said to-day that last night fewer
•'ought shelter than on Sunday night.
This was accounted for by the fact
i bat many had worked as snow shov
slers and paid for lodgings elsewhere.
Unemployed Make Dcmnnd
While the city, railroads and private
"ompanles are seeking men to remove
:now there are nightly meetings by a
mall group of self-termed unem
nloyed, who assert their need of food
ind a place to sleep. Last night at
St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal Church
250 of these men were fed and offered
work at 20 cents an hour shoveling
snow. They refused to work at that
;irice, demanding 30 cents an hour.
HEIY CORDES DIES
i mm
rContinued from First Pase]
Mr. Cordes' illness had been discussed
in and about the Courthouse, but the
announcement of hs death was re
ceived with a distinct shock through
out county circles.
• Mr. Cordes was secretary of the
Board of Prison Inspectors and it Is
Ukely that the board will take appro
priate action at its regular meeting
on Thursday. Many of the county
officials will attend the funeral,
which will be held Saturday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, with services at his home
and burial in Oak Hill Cemetery.
The former prison inspector is sur
vived by his widow and two children,
a son Ray and a daughter, Mrs. B. W.
Jury. Mrs. Cordes is a daughter of
William Shader, formerly of this city.
Born In Germany
Mr. Cordes was a native of Bremen,
Germany. He came to this country
white a young man. Incidentally he
brought with him a knowledge of how
to use a rifle. His ability to shoot won
him many a laurel while in the Union
Army. In later years he was tho in
separable companion of William B.
Meetch, prison inspector; Harry W.
'Meetch, his son, and J. Harry Stroup,
on famous shooting trips to various
parts of the country.
For thirty years the elder Meetch
and Mr. Cordes were hunting com
panions, and the wilds of West Vir
ginia, the Carolinas, the Virginia
marshes, New Brunswick and other
parts of Canada were stamping
grounds for these huntsmen. Mr.
Cordes was an unusually good wing
shot, a unique characteristic, by the
way, because he had the use of but
one arm.
Won Spurs During War
The veteran prison inspector was
famous In Grand Army circles and he
won his spurs during the bitterest
battles of the Civil War. The fact
that in later years Mr. Cordes shot
with his right arm was due to the
fortunes of war. His left arm was
shot away at Jonesboro, S. C., during
the war.
As a Grand Army man Mr. Cordes
was known all over the country. Since
1882 he served as commander of Kil
patrick Post, No. 212, Mlilersburg,
and frequently he attended the great
G. A. R. encampments. Of the thirty
odd thousand boys of yesteryear who
gathered at Gettysburg last July, none
was more enthusiastic, perhaps, than
the veteran commander of Millers
burg. And Mlilersburg post will fire
a final salute and sound "taps" over
the body of its commander.
Prominent Republican
Mr. Cordes was one of the most
prominent Republicans in the upper
end of the county and he always bore
a large part in the activities of the
county government In 1894 he was
elected a poor director and served for
six years. After his term as poor di
rector he was chosen as a member of
the prison board and served until his
death. His place, by the way, will
likely be filled by the County Com
missioners to-morrow.
While Mr. Cordes served as a school
director in his home township,
civic duties to which he was elected
included the office of justice of the
peace. He was the unanimous choice
for the place last Fall. However, he
didn't serve, as his commission was
never lifted.
If Mr. Cordes was widely known in
G. A. R. and county circles, his fame
as a railroader was much more gen
eral. In his early days he served as
a telegraph operator at Marysville,
and left that service to enter the
Union army. He was numbered in
one of the first companies to be mus
tered into service at Camp Curtin.
After his return from the war Mr.
| Cordes again went into the railroad
service and up until the last five or six
years he acted as assistant train dis
patcher at Mlilersburg. He was re
tired about five years ago.
Mr. Cordes was a member of the
Lutheran Church of Mlilersburg and
was well known in Odd Fellows'
circles.

CHURCHILL'S H
HIIS GOOD EFFECT
Methodist Preacher Thinks Book'
Will Result in Much
Good
That the effect of
Churchill's novel,
"The Inside of the
Cup," Is In general a
good one and that

Uw whole will be obtain
• 'HI., ed from It, was the
'i conclusion reached by

' ot Dlllsburg In a re
view read before the
Methodist Preachers'
Meeting at the Y. M.
f - bu "ding yester-
The Rev. Mr. Long maintained that
Churchill's book was exaggerated and
criticism is made of doctrines which
have nothing to do with the work
and ministry of love for which the
.f. rc . h of to " da y stands. The things
criticised he says cannot all be found
in one church, but that in many of
the churches some of the things
spoken of do exist.
The fact that John Hodder remains
in the church is a victory for the
church, he asserted. The book he
says will have the effect of puncturing
the self-complacency with which tlu
church has been viewing itself. The
ideas of a man of the day will give
the church another viewpoint of Itself
and enable It to dig down and bring
U P those things which are essential
and throw out what is useless, anti
quated or outgrown.

a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever com
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek

over their own signatures that theyhavs
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved then
from surgical operations. ,
