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. Pullen, Car
jpenter. 811 A Marcellus Avenue. Manas-
Iquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice
»nd show It to any others who are
ruptured—you may save a life or at
leapt stop the misery of rupture and
the worry and danger of an operation.

"Dear Husband" Note Gave
First Hint of Elopement
Letter Fell Into Other Hands
Then Those For Whom
It Was Intended
Although the parents of both par
] ties refuse to-day to give out any in
| formation concerning the marriage of
Charles Lawrence and Miss Florence
A. 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

Second Case of Kind Within Week
at Steelton; Strange Man
Figures
Into the office of Squire James
Dickinson. North Front street, last
evening, came a nervous, very-much
worried looking Austrian. With him
was his pretty little 12-year-old
daughter. In a broken, incoherent
way, but in perfect English, the man
told the Squire how he had lost his
wite and two small daughters.
He said that his name was Yova
Biach, 330 Main street and that he
is a baker by trade. 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. This is the second case
of the alleged stealing of another
man's wife here within the week. On
Saturday Illia Vlnca, of 392 Mohn
street, reported to the authorities that
his wife had left home with a strange
man.

it is likely that Messrs. Soffel and
Fisher will visit Polk and Warren,

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.

This War May Effect
Coal Prices
We ave just been advised as follows from
a large wholesale coal company:
» "Eighty per cent, of the foreign laboring
men in this country are single, and liable for
military duty in their home land. 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.
