OUCH! LUMBAGO!
v RUB PAINS FROM
SORE, LAME BACK
Rub Backache away with small
trial bottle of old
'£t. Jacob's Oil."
Back hurt you? Can't straighten
til' without feeling sudden pains, sharp
aches and twinges? Now listen!
That's lumbago, sciatica or maybe
from a strain, and you'll get relief the
moment you rub your back with sooth
ing. penetrating "St. Jacobs Oil." '
Nothing else takes out soreness, lame
ness and stiffness so quickly. You
simply rub it on your back and out
comes the pain. It is harmless and
doesn't burn the skih.
Limber up! Don't suffer! Get a
small trial bottle of old, honest "St.
Jacobs Oil" from any drug store, and
after using it just once, you'll forget
that you ever had backache, lumbago
or sciatica, because your back will
never hurt, or cause any more misery,
it never disappoints and has been rec

Class Men to Study
Civic Advancement
Special to The Tele graph
Newport Pa., Nov. 15.—When Gover-
J nor Brumbaugh arrived at the Metho
dist Episcopal Church here yesterday
afternoon to address the Men's Bible
''lass he found the big church packed
to the doors. All the othrfr Sunday
Schools had been dismissed so as to
allow the members to hoar the Gover

CIVIL WAR VETERAN
Tells How to Retard the Infirmi
ties of Old Age.
"I am 77 years old, and for 35 years
have worked on the P. C. & St. L,
R. U. Also a Civil War Veteran. I
suffered from a general nervous
breakdown and would have such
weak, dizzy spells I would have to go
to bed for a day at a time. When
£l visiting friends In Bradford, Ohio, an
,* old doctor recommended that I try
Vinol. That very day 1 bought a bot
tle and continued to take it regularly.
It has done me a world of good, built
me up so I feel stronger in every way,
and have, gone back to work again,
and I want to recommend Vinol to any
old comrade or aged person who needs
strength lor it is a grand medicine."
W. 11. Bowers, Steubenville, Ohio.
The reason Vinol is so beneficial to
old people is because it contains the
very elements needed to replaPe de
clining strength with renewed vigor,
viz.: the medicinal elements of fresh
cod livers, without oil, peptonate of
Iron, beef peptone and a mild tonic
wine.
We ask every aged person in Har
risburg to try Vinol on our offer to
return their money if It fails to create
strength.

TO DECIDE CORN
CONTEST IN FEB.
County Superintendent Sham
baugh Maps Out New Plan
For Students
RURAL LIFE DAY" DEC. 3
Prizes to He Awarded at Coun
ty Directors' Association
Meeting
Dauphin county's first annual school
corn conlest will he Anally decided at
the meeting: of the county school
directors' convention In February.
Prof. F. E. Shambaugh, county
superintendent, announced this plan
to-day in explaining the system of
judging by elimination in order to
determine which of the scores of
young" student farmers of the county
have produced the best specimen of
corn. The same system will be fol
lowed out every year.
Friday, December 3, will be "Pat
rons' and Rural Life Day" in all the
county schools. The rooms will toe
prettily decorated with corn, pump
kins, sheaves of v.heat and other
products similar to the old-fashioned
"harvest home" celebrations that are
still a feature of many Fall church
services. Incidentally there will be
programs of addresses, music, etc.,
appropriate to the occasion.
Tlio Individual Displays
The big feature however will be the
individual corn displays by the boys
in each room. Every boy farmer who
has raised corn for the county con
test will bring ten ears of the choicest
variety to school. The best In each
room will be selected by a committee
of practical farmers appointed by <he
teacher for the purpose and their
selections will be exhibited at the next
district teachers' institute. From the
institute display the first and second
best exhibits will be chosen for final
exhibition at the county directors'
meeting in February. And from this
exhibition, the winning boy com
grower of Dauphin county will be
picked out.
Not boys' exhibits alone, however,
may be judged accoVdlng to Prof.
Shambaugh. If there be any girl en
trants, their displays will be consider
ed also.
Whether or not prizes will be given
hereafter to the best corn growers has
not been definitely decided. Professor
Shambaugh said to-day, but is pos
sible that only certificates of merit
will be awarded.
Farmers From Missouri
The "home work credit" idea will
be worked out more generally during
the coming year, too, according to
Prof. Shambaugh. By this plan the
boy or girl is given credit for farm
or domestic work at home as well as
for the theoretical work in the school.
Superintendent Shambaugh said ho
has been more or less disappointed at
the lack of Interest In the corn con
test. "Manv of the teachers told me"
said he, "that the boys' fathers laugh
ed at them when they asked for a
small piece of ground to till. To my
mind the teacher personally should
have gone to the paretit and explained
the situation. I believe most of Dau
phin county's farmers are from
Missouri and that If they are given to
understand a thing, they'll co-oper
ate."
Will Drum For Votes
For Republican President
Believing in the efficacy of a "sing
ing" campaign like the one used to
create enthusiasm for Lincoln, James
W. Nagle, a Philadelphia broker who
enlisted in the Civil War at Camp Cur
tin has volunteered his services to the
Union Ijeague. which is starting a cam
paign in Philadelphia for the election
of a Republican President next year.
Mr. Nagle has the drum he used in
the Lincoln "singing" campaign.
When but 11 years old Mr. Nagle ran
awflv from home and joined a regiment
of soldiers forming at Harrisburg. His
father. General James heard of
his action and telegraphed tX Governor
Curtin, who sent young Nagle to his
home in Pottstown. The boy managed
to persuade his mother to permit him
to travel with the "Lincoln Singers."
He finallv succeeded In joining the
army, wlien he was 14 years old. in
1863. He became a member of the 39th
Pennsylvania Volunteers and was in a
brigade that came up at the close of the
battle of Gettysburg.
"I've had my drum since I was a
small boy; it's in fine condition, and I
am sure it will stir up patriotic Re
publicans," asserted Mr. Nagle, who Is
66 years old. "Nothing stirs up en
thusiasm like a flft, drum and bugle
1 want to get a eornetist and a lifer,
and the three of us can go about boom
ing the campaign of the Union League.
We will get an old songbook and play
the airs that pleased folks hack in
Civil War days. What the Republfcan
party needs to do Is to put into the
background a lot of the modern things
and make their fight along patriotic
lines. I feel sure this old drum will
beat back to the fold a lot of voters."

Not a few have been back and forth
from the front, wounded and cured,
as many as, three times. Batches of
unwounded have been "lent" for a
fortnight to till their fields. The hoß
pituls are often full, but though there
is adequate care of the war patients,
there is no encouragement for the or

then that he took the name of Wash
ington, when forced to enroll under
some title.
Later he was engaged as a house
servant and then he had a new chance
to study at Intervals. All the while he
saved, and even borrowed and begged,
until he felt he had money enough to
reach Hampton Institute, 500 miles
away.
Arriving at Richmond, penniless
and 85 miles from his destination, he
got work along the James River docks.
He again saved some money and
reached Hampton with 50 cents in
his pocket. There he swept and dusted
rooms and soon 'the teachers were at
tracted by his earnestness.
No man knew the troubles of the
reconstruction period better than
Booker T. Washington, and he was
always frank to discuss them. It was
his very frankness as to the shortcom
ings of his race that earned for Wash
ington a profound respect in the South
from both whites and negroes. Wash
ington said that the sight of ignorant
negroes in the pulpits and In the pub
lic offices at that time, finally spurred
him, on to educate himself so that he
could teach others. He saw that his
race must be taught to work.
Becomes a Teacher
The first success of Washington's
life came in the late 70's, when he was
made a teacher at Hhmpton. Then
came a greater one. The white peo
ple of the "Black Belt" in Alabama
had decided that the negro needed
educating and sent to Hampton for a
man to take charge. The heads of the
pioneer Virginia institution picked out
the only man who could assume the
responsibilities of that task. He was
Booker T. \\ hington.
Washington began in Tuskegee in
1881 with a small county appropria
tion, a shanty and an abandoned
church. His first aids were an ex
slaveholder and an ex-slave. The first
recitation room was made from an old
henhouse on the place, and Washing
ton told often with a chuckle how an
old darky he had enlisted to help him
clear out the place, remarked that
he never before had "cleared out a
henhouse in broad daylight."
At the end of the first year Wash
ington had thirty pupils at the school.
He had to "hunt up" his people. His
greatest opposition came from his own
race. They looked upon education as
a means of gaining a living without
working. He then hit upon his great
plan of vocational education and de
cided to teach his race how to work
as well as read. He needed a farm,
and finally bought an abandoned plan
tation for SSOO, paying down $250,
more money .than he had ever seen
before.
This came from his old teacher,
I General J. F. B. Marshall, at Hamp
ton Institute. In three months he had
paid off that $250; the balance he
owed, and secured an additional SSOO,
with which he bought 100 additional
acres of land.
Progress at Tuskegee
Coming from that period to the
present. It is interesting to note that
Tuskegee now has more than 1,500
students, and several hundred chil
dren besides in the training school.
Nearly 200 officers, teachers and help
ers are employed oh the place, and
since 1882 about 10,000 men and wom
en have been sent forth to do good
work in the uplift ,of the race.
More than forty trades or indus
tries are taught at the school. There
has been no serious race problem in
central Alabama and a good many
other sections of the South since
Booker T. Washington started things
going at Tuskegee. The plant is now
.worth about $2,000,000.
In addition to his prominence as an
educator, he gained Considerable fame
as an author. An honorary degree of
master of arts Was conferred upon
him by Harvard University in 1896,
and in 1901 he was given an honorary
degree of doctor of laws by Dart
mouth College.
An incident of Washington's career
made him the center of a nation-wide
discussion during the administration
of President Roosevelt. He sat down
to luncheon with the President at the
White House either by formal or ln-

laundry soap contains harsh, drying

for your toilet.
Many toilet soaps contain this

formal invitation. There was a storm
of protest from many quarters, and
some hostility was shown toward the
negro educator afterward.
To those who may fear for the fu
ture of the Institution, now that its
maker is done, the words of Washing
ton a few years ago may be of more
than passing interest. He said:
"Somehow Tuskegee has kept go

will keep on doing so."
It has been said that Washington
did more than any other man to break
down the prejudices between whites
and blacks. He made friends among
the former as easily, if not more eas

curl, but the soft fluffiness and livelv
luster, your hair will acquire. The plan
—merely to apply to the hair before
retiring, a little pure silmerine (in
liquid form), using a clean tooth brush
for the purpose. The most effective way
is to divide the hair into stratids, moist
ening each of them separately from
root to tip.
The delightful wavy effect in evi

any stranger that your hair is natur

ounces of liquid silmerine from your

months. This, by the way, will leave
ino sticky or greasy trace and cannot
harm hair or scalp in any way. The hair
will be quite manageable at all times,
no matter how you do it up.—Adver
