Cured His RUPTURE I was badly ruptured wh'le lifting a (trunk several years ago. D'octors said any only hope of euro was an oper ation. Trusses did me no good. Final ly I got hold of something that quickly (and completely cured me. Years have Ipassed-and the rupture has .never re turned, although I am doing hard work *as a carpenter. There was no oper ation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full in 'formatlon about how you may find a (complete cure without operation, If you write to me, Eugene M.

Miller, it was learned to-day that so far as the gentle public was con cerned nothing at all might have b«°n known of the marriage until the pop ular young people chose to give It out had it not been for a letter that Mrs. Lawrence wrote from Philadelphia. It appears that after the wedding young Lawrence returned home and nobody, apparently, was the wiser for his adventure. But a letter that was intended for him fell into other hands. "Dear Husband," It began, and it was then that the investigation started. Both the young persons concerned were graduated from Harrisburg high school last year and were extremely popular among their classmates. The romance that culminated in the matri monial adventure at Elkton, Mary land's Gretna Green, began while both were students at Central. Young Law rence is a clever basketball player, having played with Central and with the Hassett Boys' Club teams. i ANNOUNCE BIKTII OF DAUGHTER Special to The Telegraph Dillsburg, Pa., Aug. 20.—Mr. and Mrs. M.

When Biach left his work Tuesday morning he kissed his wife and two little daughters good by as he had always done before. When the baker returned Tuesday evening he was greeted at the door by his oldest daughter, a girl of 12, who tearfully explained that her mother had taken her two little sisters and gone away with a strange man. | Neither the wife and children or the man have been seen since and Biach chokingly begged the Squire to help him find her.

Fighting Disease Gerus There la a popular Idea that moat sickness la cauaed by a germ of the disease finding entrance to our bodlea through the food we eat, the water or milk we drink or the air we breathe. This UjJrue aa far as It goes, but it is also true that disease germs are enter ing our bodies every day without caus ing disease. The reason for this Is that there are forces within the body that are con stantly fighting these disease germs and it is only when this defense is weakened that the girnis get the upper 'hand and we become 111. One of the most powerful of these forces that work for health Is rich- red blood. Good, healthy blood increases the re sistance of the body to the diseases that are always threatening. It Is easier to keep up this resistance by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, eating proper food, avoiding articles of food that do not agree with us and getting plenty of fresh air day and night, than It is to cure disease after it gets a foothold. Keep up the resistance of your body to dlaefcse by these tonic pills, Which you can get at any drug store, fcnd you will avoid much «lck ness. Two booklets, "Building Up the Blood" and "What to Bat and How to E4t" will be sent free by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady.

They are now leaving causing a scarcity of labor in the coal and coke districts and prices may ad vance sharply." It is impossible for us to predict just what may - happen in the way of price and quality of coal this winter and we advise you to send us your order 3 at once and be on the safe side. On September Ist, the price of all coal, except Pea and Buckwheat, will advance 20c per ton. The price of everything seems to be going up so don't delay if you want good coal at the present low rates.
