Wilbern, High Constable of Highspire, in answer to the censure which he claims to have received be cause he did not stop speeding of motorcycles and automobiles through the borough issued a statement deny ing that he was at fault.

His communication follows: "After a delay of. practically six months, the highway committee of Highspire borough has Anally found time to place in proper position the speed limit signs along the main thor oughfare. "The undersigned has on various occasions been accosted by citizens of the borough and reprimanded for not using his power to abate the reckless and unnecessary speeding of automo biles and motorcycles, but owing to" the fact that the highway committee neglected having the signs placed as ordered by council in the early months of this year, it was practicaJly im possible to have this matter remedied. Since the signs have been placed in accordance with the State laws, I de sire to inform the public that all driv ers of automobiles or motorcycles who do not heed the warning of these signs will be brought to Justice, without fear or favor. "I therefore ask all persons who may have occasion to pass through our borough to heed the warning of these signs which specify fifteen miles as the speed limit, as well as the 'Danger! Run Slow' sign. "Hoping all persons will kindly co-operate with the officer in strictly enforcing the laws, thus avoiding any chance of accident. Heretofore it has been the custom of many individuals to use the streets of Highspire as a speedway, the several serious acci dents have been narrowly averted. Our citizens are very anxious to have this careless running stopped." Signed. WILLIAM S. WILBERN, High Constable. FRANCES BUCAR Frances Bucar. aged 30 months.

Plans For Walnut St. Bridge to Go Before City and State Boards Plans for the proposed bridge across the Pennsylvania railrpad tracks at Walnut street, as prepared by J. E. Greiner and company, Baltimore, consulting engineers, were submitted to Council this morning by Commis sioner W. H. Lynch and were referred to the Planning Commission. If the city planners should pass favorably upon the proposition, then the plans must be referred to the Public Service commission of Pennsylvania. Two designs were submitted, one of which provides for the building of the west approach upon Walnut street in such a way as to leave as large a space as possible between the south side of the bridge and the buildings on the south side of the street; the other provides for the erection of the west ern approach entirely off the street and directly in the capitol park area. The structure is to be reinforced concrete except over the tracks where the girderß are to be of steel covered with concrete. The bridge as design ed will carry two lines of fifty-ton trolley cars and twenty-five ton trucks. The plans call for a 28-foot roadway, with 8-foot sidewalks. Safety bays are plans for each pier and seats are to be provided at these points. The lighting fixtures are designed for posts which can carry trolley wires. The bridge according to the first design would be 2,185 and for the second, 2,202 feet. By the first plan, estimated cost is $284,446.98, which, if the 10 per cent for engineering charges are added, would run the total to $312,891.97; the second plan calls for an estimated expenditure of $289,717.38 to which, if the 10 per for engineering charges be added, would cost $318,689.12 The city voted $300,000 for the job and If the work was completed by the city, engineer's department, the structure in Mr. Lynch's opinion could easily be erected within the appropriation. City Managing Financially With Good Balance on Hand Harrisburg is managing financially throughout the present month with close to $450,000 in the city treasury. City Treasurer Harry F.

SUSPEND MILITIA ORDER BECAUSE OF TROUBLE [Continued From First l'jige] which they might be called upon to preserve order throughout some of the States. There Is even the poss:- hllity that some of the troops in the event of a strike might be called upon to guard or operate mail trains and trains supplying the troops already on the border. The suspension or the orders pre vents the immediate movement of the troops from Kentucky, Ohio and Ver mont and the movement of all other mobilized units which were to have gone forward as soon as they were equipped. Some of the Kentucky Ohio and Vermont troops were about ready to go to the border. It is clear that the suspension is not a revocation of the orders and that if the railroad strike situation clears up the troops will be moved to the border line. The official explanation of the change at the War Department is that difficulties of transportation and equipment suddenly developed have made a delay necessary. It Is known, however, that the railway situation is the real cause. A telegram from Major General Fun ston made public by the War De partment disclosed that the General recommended the suspension of the orders. His telegram follows: "In view of a possibility of a gen eral railroad strike. I desire to call attention of the War Department to difficulties that will follow in main taining food supplies not only of troops in this department, but of the civilian population as well. These border States produce but little food stuff except cattle.

A Message To Thin Weak Scrawny Folks An Can;' Way to Gain 10 to 30 round* of !>o|l<l, llcultby Permanent Flesh Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say, "I can't understand why I do not get fat. I eat plenty of good nourishing food." The reason is Just this: You cannot get fat, no matter how much you eat, unless your digestive organs assimilate the fat-making elements of your food instead of passing them out through the body as waste. What is needed is a means of gently urging the assimilative functions of the stomach and intestines to absorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the blood, where they may reach the starved, shrunken, run-down tissues and build them up. The thin person's body is like a dry sponge eager and hungry for the fatty materials of which it is being deprived by the failure of the alimentary canal to take them from the food. A splendid way of working to overcome this sinful waste of flesh building elements and to stop the leak age of fats is to try Sargol, the famous flesh building agent that has been so widely sold in America in recent years. Take a little Sargol tablet with every meal and see if your cheeks don t quickly fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh form over your body, coverinjg each bony angle and project ing point. G. A. Gorgas and other frood druggists have Sargol or can get t from their wholesaler, and will re fund your money if you are not satis fled with the gain In weight it pro duces as stated on the guarantee in each large package. It is inexpensive, easy to take and highly efficient. NOTE:—Sargol is recommended only as a flesh builder and while excellent results in cases of nervous indigestion, etc.. have been reported, care should be taken about using it unless a gain of weight Is desired. 7
