I THE DAY OF WEAKNESS After you have had a trying ex perience, or worn yourself out with an unusually hard day's work, yciur body is not in shape to resist disease. Its vitality is lowered, and the forces that re sist infection are lacking in power. Certain infections are always present. One of the worst of these is that of influenza. If your strength is lowered, it is likely to effect a lodgment, and no man can ever foretell what this will lead to. For such periods of weakness you need a good tonic. Your heart should be strengthened, your cir culation made more vigorous, your digestion toned up. The tonic that many thousands have found most satisfactory is Peruna. It has been used as often to ward off ill nesses as to overcome them. In the tablet form you may carry it with you, using it whenever you realize you are not up to full phys ical power. It's better to prevent than to be ill, and for such condi tions Perunn is heartily recom mended by thousands. Munulln is the ideal laxative. It Cleans the waste from the system, L , , tones up the X. _ P\. liver and A helps you OOTiiStMl* ov e r c o m e 18S3C the consti- ■ mi 1 "tab- Thn Peruna Co , EDUCATIONAL School of Sosmerse : Troup Building If.

Boyd Crumrine Dead, Historian and Lawyer Word whs received here last night j by James C. Kirk, of the State Insur- j | ance Department, notifying him of the : J death of his uncle, Boyd Crumrine, of | Washington, Pa., which occurred Sun- i day evening. Mr. Crumrine was the oldest mem ber of the Washington county bar, and well Known among attorneys through out the State. For some years he was the editor of Pennsylvania State Re ports, and was an authority on histori cal facts relating to Western Penn sylvania. In 1888 he compiled and published a history of Washington county from tlio lime it was a part of Virginia, through the days of the Whisky Insurrection in which Wash ington county played so prominent a part. Later when the Washington county Historical Society was organ- I ized, he caused tablets to be placed throughout the county marking the location of houses and other buildings that figured in the struggles between the United States government and those who believed that whisky should not be taxed. For a number of years Mr. Crum ] rine had been a member of the ad j visory commission of the Division of Public Records, at the State Library, serving on that board until his death. His work as an attorney soon brought him to the front rank as a lawybr, and his wise counsel to the younger attor neys who would frequently consult ] him, invariably brought them Into fav orable notice.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH EXPECT EARLY DECISION NOW Judge Henry Expected to De cide Jitney Injunction Suit Within Short Time That an early decision will be handed dowji by Judge Charles V. Henry of Lebanon county, presiding here in the .case of local jltneurs, who are asking an injunction against the Mayor and other city officials to re strain them from enforcing the pres ent jitney license ordinance, is antici pated by attorneys and others inter ested. Indications this morning, lawyers say, were that an opinion would be handed down within the next week or ttn days. The application for the preliminary injunction was not pressed this morn ing by lawyers representing the ap pealing jitneymen because the final hearing and argument was held in the <?ase to-day. The next move will be a decision from the court. In the meantime the city authorities will be at liberty to enforce the ordinance just as though the proceedings for the injunction had not been begun. The arguments this morning by counsel for the Jitneymen and by the City Solicitor, were confined to the legal phases of the case. Dr. Shope Proposes Way to Safeguard Children A resolution for safe-guarding the school children has been introduced by Dr. Samuel Z."

Dr. Shope further j suggests that large street signs be i placed at either side of the "highway I playgrounds," explaining that the j f-trfeets are closed during recess hours I to all traffic except street cars. The | addressees were requested to co-op erate in bringing about the proposed i "safety first" move. !

SUGGESTSISLAND AS IDEAL BEACH Commissioner Gross Believes City Should Spend Money There "Island Park is the ideal place for a municipal bathing resort," said Park Commissioner E. Z. Gross to day. He was asked what Harrisburg was going to do about the Indepen dence Island proposition. Commis sioner Gross continued: "In the first place, we do not have the money to buy Independence Island. If the cash wet*e available, It would be more profitable, in my opinion, to spend it on improvements at Island Park. Shore facilities are better. Island Park covers a larger territory, and two bridges lead to it, with a small fee lor toll. The advan tages offered for a municipal resort at Island Park are many. However, what we need is money. Until the cash is in sight, the only thing we can do is to talk about it." Assistant Superintendent of Parks, V. Grant Porrer was of the opinion that Island Park would make a great municipal bathing resort, and believed that Independence Island, if pur chased by a syndicate, would prove a profitable investment also. ' "Both places will pay, and the more wc get the_ better,' he said. No new developments were reported to-day in the negotiations for the pur chase of Independence Island by a New York syndicate. E. Charles Ens ininger said: "the deal is still on If there is no sale, then I will take up plans immediately to make extensive Improvements myself. I have given until Monday for a final answer from the New York people." FARMERS ARK WARNED Washington, D.
