Every day more men and women are
telling of the great relief they have
found by using the new remedy. It's
not a few, but many are rejoicing.
What is your complaint? You know
you are compelled to drink water. Will
you put the Mln-Ral-Cop In your drink

of the water. Neither does the water
have an unpleasant taste or odor after
wards. "I don't see how, by drinking
that water, I can be helped," is what
you may say.
Neither did the multitudes see how
until they tried it. They have changed
their opinions now and to-day they are
telling it better than I can ever expect
to tell it. Try it Just once, and it will
convince you. too.

was short, her system run down, her
appetite poor. After drinking the water
from her Min-Ral-Cop a few days, her

GRADUATES TALK
ON PREPAREDNESS
Fifty-two Steelton Seniors Re
ceive Diplomas at Thirty-sec- ;
ond Annual Commencement
Before more than 1,000 people, all'
thf.t could crowd into the High School
auditorium, fifty-two members of the
class of 1916 of the Steelton High
school participated in the impressive
ceremonies which marked their re
tirement from public school life last
evening.
The big hall was tastefully festooned
with college, school and class pennants
and a huge bank of daisies, the class
flower, encircled the stage. For the
first time the High School orchestra
fu.-nished music for the ceremonies
and performed its part as creditabiy
as any of the larger professional or-
I chestras.
The solemn-garbed students in their
essays and declamations caught the
spirit of the hour and seized upon
S "Preparedness" as the keynote of
i their discourse. *
To the tuneful strains of
Soman,' by the orhestra the fifty-two
graduates marched in and took their
places on the stage. The Rev. C. B.
Segelken, pastor of the First Presby
terian church offered prayer and the
salutatory oration was delivered by
Harry Paul Hocker.
Miss Esther Keim followed
with a recitation, "The Widow and
! Her Son," which she presented with
; ability. Another selection by the
orchestra followed.
Then "Preparedness" came to the
front again in a declamation, "The
Call to Arms," Patric Henry's stirring
plea, by Harry Edward Trawitz. This,
HARRISBURG rfjjjftl TELEGRAPH
was followed by "The Going of the
White Swan," a gripping recitation by
Henrietta Catherine Porr and the
rendition of "Hungarian Rhapsody
No. 2," by Florence Christine Finger.
Describes 1,1 fc in Trenches
Again in the declamation of George
Edgar Wolf, the spirit of the hour
wae echoed. He spoke on "Our Duty
to the Republic." This was followed
up by a clever story entitled "In the
Trenches" in which the boy members
of the class were each brought to the
attention of the big audience in their
beat garb by Esther Reah Lau.
In the essay presented by Harry
Devore Sellers, entitled "Prepared
ntss" the boys had "their inning" and
the girls their uncomfortable moments.
The valedictory essay, "Aim at a Cer
tain End," by Miss Azalea Wigfield.
The diplomas were presented by At
torney W. F. Darby, president of the
school board for 11 years, following a
few remarks by Superintendent L. E.
MiGinnes.
As he presented each member of
the class, Professor McGlnnes pointed
out. a few high lights in the class his
tory, called attention to the two pair
of twins in the class and pointed out
the fact that most of the graduates
were born during the Spanish-Amer
ican War, as is evident, he said, by
their names.
The address to the graduates was
delivered by Dr. A. C. Rothermel,
principal of the Kutztown Normal
school, the speaker who delivered one
of the addresses when the corner
stone for the Steelton High School
was laid. He declared tnat a High
School education Is the "key to the
knowledge of the ages," and urged the
students to make the best possible
use of the knowledge and training in
public schools. He also pointed out
advantages of higher education.
