    CATARRH CAUSED
BY A GERM
MUM Be Dntroynl Bi'fore Catarrh It
self Can He Cured. Wonderful
It rati Itn from Breathing
Mnllrnteil Air
Medicine that acts on the blood alone
will never cure latarrh. And neither
•will the spravs, douches, lotions, creams
and other temporary reliefs that so
man) catarrh victims make a habit of
using. To cure catarrh so it won't come
back you must first drive from your
body the millions of germs that are
nourishing in the inner recesses of your
nose and throat and are causing the
disease.
There is a preparation used to do this
called Hyomei (pronounced High-o
me), Hyomei is a germ killing vapor
ized air formed from the purest oil of
Eucalyptus combined with other heal
ing and antiseptic Ingredients. You
breathe Hyomei through the mouth and
nose by means 6f a'little hard rubber
Inhaler which druggists furnish with it.
This medicated germicidal nlr pene
trates into every fold and crevice of
the mucous membrnne of your nose
and throat, kills the catarrh germs that
lodge there. soothes. reduces and
heals the swollen inflamed membranes,
stops the discharge and opens up the
clogged nose and air passages In a truly
wonderful way. It gives blessed relief
in five minutes from Vntarrhal distress
of every kind and If you make a prac
tice of breathing Hyomei for a few min
utes each day for just a few weeks not
only will all the symptoms of catarrh
vanish but the disease itself will be a
thing of the past. No one neesd try
or buy Hyomei on pure faith. H. C.
Kennedy and many other leading drug
gists In Harrisburg and vicinity sell it
with the positive guarantee that it must
cure catarrh or that the money paid for
it will be refunded. Hyomei is very in
expensive and with this protecting guar
antee behind your purchase there is ab
solutely no reason why any sufferer
from Catarrh should not give it a fair
trial.—Advertisement.

Giant British Biplane
to Carry Tons of Bombs
Duluth, Sept. 17.—Details of the
giant aircraft Canada, said to be the
first of a fleet of air destroyers being
constructed at Toronto for the British
army, were received here to-day in an
uncensored letter brought across the
border, mailed in the United States
and signed by an aviator in the service
of the British Government.
The Canada is a biplane, and is
said to be unique in many features.
Its control is automatic, and it
carry 10 bombs weighing 200 pounds
each, says the letter. Every part of
the machine was designed in the
United States, it is stated. The craft
is equipped with two rapid-fire guns
so placed that they can fire toward the
front, the back or upward. The craft
has two 1 80-horsepower motors. The
letter says the Canada has been
given a trial trip and has been ac
cepted by the Government.

Bulletin of Department of Labor
and Industry Makes Some ,
Interesting Notes
Under the caption "Short Hours: An j
Aid to Efficiency" .the bulletin of the
Slate Department of Labor and In
dustry makes a plea for short hours In
industrial establishments. The bulle
tin quotes extensively from a state
ment on the methods followed by a
Willlamsport company and says that
!• was attended with no loss in pro
duction and that it brought "an im
mense gain in the contentment and
efficiency of their employes."
The article savs in part: "Until re
cent years it has been considered that
the longer the number of working
hours per day the larger the output—
regardless entirely of the fact that
human energy does not work with
perfect uniformity, but Involuntarily
slackens and stops and starts up again.
In spite of all efforts of the will the
human body does not work with regu
larity. * * * The best results are |
obtained from keeping well within the |
limits of fatigue. Then the worker 1
can accomplish his tasks with greater |
uniformity, having regular periods of i
rest after reasonable hours of labor."
CITY CAMPAIGN IS
ATTRACTING ATTENTION
[Continued From First Page.]
represents the essence of political
trickery such as was never known in
the day of party convention and con
ference.
Public Disgusted
"Why, if this thing goes on much
longer" said a prominent businessman
to-day, "we shall find it extremely dif
ficult to get men of business training
and public spirit to serve in public of
fice. They will not submit to the
harum-scarum methods which are
now characteristic of present day poli
tical campaigns. We have to-day the
miserable spectacle of one man whose
administration as mayor was the sub
ject of constant criticism a few years
ago, being permitted to figure as a
more or less unopposed candidate for
the chief office In the city. I don't
see that the bosses of either of the
prominent parties have any excuse to
offer for their failure to encourage
representative men to stand ' for the
mayoralty. I'm disgusted with the
whole business!"
This citizen may have been suffer
ing from the summer heat, but he was
expressing in more or less vigorous
English the real sentiment of many of
his fellows.
Four Candidates for Mayor
There are four candidates for mayor
and they will appear upon the ballot in
the following order: Harry F. Shees
ley, a former member of Select Coun
cil; William F. Burgoon. a grocer in
the western section of city; Dr. Ezra
S. Meals, a former member of the
House and former mayor, and Edward
M. Winters, a stenographer. Friends
of Meals are endeavoring to give him
fifty-one per cent, of'the primary vote
so that he may have no opposition in
the general election. Sheesley and
the other two candidates are hoping
to spoil this program.
There are sixteen candidates for the
four places in the City Council, a sort
of four to one situation. The list
starts with W. L. Gorgas, a present
member of the City Council, and Su
perintendent of Finance and ends with
ex-Mayor E. Z. Gross. Those between
the first and last names are Daniel W.
Sohn, of the Commercial Bank; John
K Royal, who has enjoyed the salary
and emoluments of City Treasurer,
Prothonotary and Mayor and who is
still hopeful that the Democrats will
continue him at the public crib; Owen
M. Copelin another more or less suc
cessful Democratic guest at the pub
lic feast, having Just about concluded
a long term in what is known by poli
ticians as the Juiciest job, that of City
Treasurer; M. Harvey Taylor, present
head of the Parks and Playgrounds; J.
L. Yoder, of 621 Harris street: Albert
P. Doranze, 1318 Susquehanna street.
City Commissioner Harry F. Bowman,
head of the Department of Public Saf
ety; Charles E. Landls, who has been
active in Washington party affairs;
City Commissioner William H. Lynch,
chief of the Department of Public
Works; J. Edgar Rodenhaver, a well
known printer; Charles C. Steiner, a
former President of Common Council;
Raymond Breach, 315 James street;
A. H. Nuss, 1715 State street, and J.
Grant Koons, a former member of Se
lect Council. v
The long lost Job of City Controller
has developed seven candidates in the
laat few days, several of the aspirants
coming under the wire at the last
hour for the filing of nomination pe
titions. Those who are candidates are
Ashton D. Peace, Secretary of the Har
risburg Republican Club, who has
many enthusiastic supporters; De-
Witt A. Fry, a former member of tho
old Council and long identified with
the Central Iron & Steel company;
Clarence F. Snyder, of 362 Broad
!street; Sam. T. Kinslnger, formerly
of the Common Council; Wllmer
Crow, who *-ar. a candidate for tho
Legislature last year and is well known
In business circles; Harry, M. Riley,
formerly clerk to the highway com-
missioner and an old guard Democrat
and Leo 11. Lentz, of 10" S. Second
street.
It Is difficult to think of Henry W.
Rough as a candidate for anything but
City Controller, but the old reliable
statistician and baseball fan was so
manifestly the proper man for County
Controller when that office was
created he now appears on the ballot]
as the unopposed candidate for the,
new place. He will continue as I
county controller with the consent of I
everybody.
Those jobs of supervisor in the first!
and second districts always excite
more or less discussion every year. It'
is a grave question in the minds of |
some people whether the law ever
contemplated that the office of super
visor should be continued after the
creation of the modern department of
Public Works, but until the Court
shall have determined that momentus
question the supervisor will go merrily
on his way. In the first district
Charles A. Tress has as opponents this
year William Ehler and Daniel E.
Taylor. All the boys know him aB
"Bottle" Tress. He is the son of
Lewis Tress, who served the city in
the capacity of supervisor for many
years. In the uptown district George
W. Kautz, a popular Democrat, has no
opposition.
Of course, the contest for school di
rector is of unusual interest, those who
are candidates being Robert A. En
ders, president of the Sixth Street
Bank, Dr. C. E. L. Keene, George W.
Kennedy, a present member; Alexan
der S. Miller, a former member of the
old Council; Millard F. Saul, a pres
ent member of the School Board, and
A Carson Stamm, who is the choice of
all parties and is certain of election;
j Harvey B. Bair, a well-known tobacco
i manufacturer, and Dr. M. L. Wolford,
I a physician who has figured in Wash
ington party affairs. While there is
great interest in the nominees for
school director the wild scramble for
other jobs is causing as usual the im
portant selection of these managers of
school affairs to be somewhat over
looked by the public. It is likely,
however, that public interest in this
subject will increase after the primary
election when the lines are more defi
nitely drawn.
HIGHER TARIFF FOR GREAT
BRITAIN IS NOW PROPOSED
London, Sept. 17.—Among features
which a well-authenticated report says
will be found In the budget which
Chancellor McKenna will shortly lay
before Parliament are proposals for
taxation of imports on a scale which
in advance is proclaimed to be the
introduction of radical tariff changes.
Probably the last idea in the mind of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer is
to afford any handle for a revival of
political polemics on this vexed ques
tion, but the necessity of providing
money to carry on the war may force
him to have recourse to this method
of raising revenue.
DANDRUFFY HEADS
BECOME HAIRLESS
If you want plenty of thick, beauti
ful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means
get rid of dandruff, for it will starve
your hair and ruin it if you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve It, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gent
ly with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hun
dred times better. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. It is inex
pensive and four ounces is all you
will need, no matter how much dan
druff you have. This simple remedy
never falls. —Advertisement.

To the Citizens of Harrisburg, Pa.:
As a candidate for City Council, under the commission form of gov
ernment, I wish to malfe a statement to the people whose vote and sup
port I am asking. I believe it is necessary for a Councilman to devote
all his time ito the duties of his position and, If nominated and elected,
I promise to do this. I promise to give to the city that same honest,
conscientious, industrious service that I would give to my own business.
I also promise to make every J5^553E555^3385E5552£3S

and shows the actual cost of Ice to be $1.36 per ton delivered at the
homes of the customers. Ice is now selling in Harrisburg at from six
to twelve dollars per ton. This same ice can be made and sold, delivered
to customers by the municiptu ice plant, at a fair profit to the city at
25 pounds for 5 cents (four dollars a ton). Ample provision has been
made to store the surplus ice made during the winter months an 4 the

Remember, water and ice go hand in hand and, as the Water Depart
ment has always been a good profit-maker, an Ice plant can be made
the same.
The right of a city of the third class to create and operate an ice
plant, has been questioned. There never was a doubt on the subject worth
consideration but to make assurahce doubly sure Mr. Rodenhaver ap
pealed to the Legislature for an enabling act and the following bill was
passed with practical unanimity in both branches of the General As
sembly during the session of 1913 and approved by Governor Tener on
the 25th day of June of that year:
Section 1. Be it enacted, etc., That each city of the third class Is
hereby authorized to manufacture ice, and to sell the same to the
Inhabitants of such city at such rates as shall be fixed by ordinance,
and to that end may erect, equip and maintain such buildings and
other structures, and may purchase or hire and maintain such ve
hicles. as may be deemed necessary for such purpose.
Approved the 25th day of June, A. D. 1913.
