HADRISBURG SAVED BY
NATIONAL GUARDSMEN
Marching as to Battle Citizen
Soldiers Have Strenuous
Maneuvering
Selinsgrove, Pa., July 21. —Harris-
burg was saved from the hands of the
enemy yesterday. "Hostile" forces in
vading Pennsylvania were repulsed by
the regular and militiamen of the
Third Brigade, National Guard of
Pennsylvania, now in joint camp of
instruction here.
Marching as to battle, the soldiers
left camp early yesterday morning and
returned last night victorious, having
repulsed forces advancing in large
numbers from Buffalo, N. Y„ their ob
jective point being the capture of the
capital.
The maneuver in mimic warfare had
to do with the protection of a march
ing column. The problems were
worked out by individual battalions.
The maneuver Held of 10,000 acres was
. divided Into three sections. Colonel F.
> W. StiUweU'B Thirteenth Infantry,
Srranton. were In the first section.
Majors E. H. F. Conrad, W. A. Raub
and R. J. Burke commanding the
First, Second and Third Battalions,
acted as an advance guard of a bri
gade, being Opposed by the advance
guard of an invading division.
The invading army was on the
march from Buffalo, having for its
objective point the Capitol at Harris
burg. The two invading battalions
were dislodged in each instance, for
the three battalions of the Thirteenth
worked out Uie problems separately
and communication was shut off from
the main opposing force.
The Ninth's problem. Colonel Dor
rance Reynolds, commander, was simi
lar. The First, Second and Third Bat
talions, under command of Majors O.
F. Harvey, George W. Coxe and Wil
liam I. Ravert. marched to Salem.
Here an advance guard of a hostile
force was driven back from entrench
ments in disorder.
In the separate battalion maneuver
In the third area, under Major William
H. Straub. the men marched 3ft miles
west of the camp ground and there,
assuming that an enemy was ap
proaching, Major Straub endeavored
to stop the advance by burning a
bridge across Middle creek at Kantz.
The maneuver was successful.
"Dead and wounded" soldiers were
picked up by the squads and first aid
treatmentadministered whenever prac
tical.
Ideal weather conditions continue,
resulting last evening in several thou
sand spectators witnessing the evening
parade by the Ninth Infantry and
guard mount.
To-day more military problems are
to be worked out and then the cavalry
will also engage In the war gama.

ARMY WORM SHOWN
AT CLOSE RANGE
Dr. Surface Gives Some Facts Re
garding the Pest That Is
Sweeping Over State
This expert statement about the
pestiferous army worm has Just been
issued by State Zoologist H. A. Surface,
who has known the worm and its
tricks for years:
The army worn is a kind of cut
worm which is present every year, but
doefe not commonly appear in such
numbers. When there are compara
tively few specimens present they ob
tain plenty of vegetation for their food
and. consequently, do not crowd each
other to the starvation point, and do
not "m'fc-eh" forth as an army. It is
only when they are very numerous
and find insTffficient vegetation for
them to live in one spot that they
travel, and at that time are given tho
common name by which they are
known.
The pests feed voraciously and con
tinue to grow until they are over one
inch in length, when they become
quiet and change to chrysalids, and
later into the soft gray moths, often
seen flying around lights in the even
ing. The army worm moth is known
by the white point in the middle of
its forewing.
While the larvae are feeding vora
ciously they are easily destroyed. The
main question each person has asked
after the first Inquiry of "What is it,"
is how to destroy them. When march
ing toward cultivated crops they have
been kept back by plowing a furrow
with the vertical side from them, so
they cannot climb it easily, and then
dragging a log behind a horse ridden
by a boy. Of course, such measures
are entirely impractical on lawns. For
tunately. here it Is easy to resort to
arsenical poisons and thus end them.
They can be killed either by dusting
or spraying with an arsenical poison,
without injury to the grass, and with
out danger to the residents of the
property.
A good method Is to mix one part
or arsenate of lead or paris green with
about thirty parts of any kipd of pow
der, such as slaked lime, ashes, road
dust, or eyen fl6ur. and dust It very
lightly over the infested lawn. It re
quires only a very light dusting to get
ahead of the pest.
Another method is to sprinkle or
spray them with an arsenical material
In water. One-half ounce of arsenate
of lead or paris green, in one gallon
of water, applied as a spray will effec
tively settle them. It is sometimes
even sufficient to sprinkle it quickly
over the lawn with a sprinkling can,
although the material applied as a
spray sticks better on the vegetation,
and is more efficient as a poison than
when the same strength of material is
applied from a sprinkling can, even
though much more may he used with
the latter. Whatever one has been
using as a means of destroying cab
bage worms can be used with advan
tage for destroying the army worms.

WHAT NEURASTHENIA IS
Neurasthenia is a condition of ex
haustion of the nervous system. The
causes are varied. Continuous work,
mental or physical, without proper va
cation periods, without proper atten
tion to diet and exercise, also worry
over the struggle for success, are the
most common causes. Excesses of al
most any kind may produce it. Some
Jiseases, like the grip, will cause neu
rasthenia. So also will a severe shock,
intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are over-sensitive
ness, irritability, a disposition to worry
over trifles, headache, possibly nau
sea.
The treatment is one of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring a nonalco
holic tonic. As the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed toward build
ing up the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills act directly on the blood and with
proper regulation of the diet have
proved of the greatest benefit in many
t-ases of neurasthenia. A tendency to
inaemia. or bloodlessness, shown b>
most neurasthenia patients, is also cor
rected by these tonic pills. Your own
druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Two useful books "Diseases of the
| Nervous System" and "What to Eat
and How to Eat" will bo sent free by
the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Sche
nectady, N. Y., if you mention this pa
