saults thus covered virtually the en
tire Somme front of the British. The
night successes included the capture
of a strongly-fortified German posi
tion known as the "Wunder Work."
Apparently to-day's attack had not
spent its force when the official bul
letin was issued, as it declared that
the British were continuing to pro
gress. ♦
The French on their part drove in
to the south of Combles, which already
was nearly hemmed in by the entente
forces and report an advance so far as
the village of Rancourt.
Heavy fighting also has taken place
on the Verdun front, Paris reporting

Where Was the Telephone
When the Lights
Went Out? 1
I
The Automatic Telephones at the Cumberland
Valley exhibit room, 308 Market street, were the
only ones in the city in service when the lights went
out during the electrical storm last night.
On the manual exchange boards not a call could
be connected until some one lit the gas. Not so
with the Automatic. It works in the dark as well
as in the light. And with what precision!
The Automatic gives the only sure service.

two German attacks there, both of
which were repulsed.
Heavy strokes are being delivered
by General Sarrail's forecs against
the Bulgarians on the Macedonian

Bucktail Survivors Arc
Holding Big Reunion
Smethport, Pa., Sept. 15.—Set in
lavish displays of flags and bunting,-
Smethport, the McKean county seat, is
joining in the reunion to-day of the
old Bucktail Survivors' Regimental
Association. It was on April 17, 1861,
from the Bennett House in this place
that Thomas Leiper Kane first issued
his call for volunteers for the rifle
regiment composed of sturdy pioneers
and woodsmen of McKean, Potter, Elk
and Cameron counties.
LOSES $75,000 HE STOLE
New York. Sept. 15.—Charged with
having stolen in ten years clothing
valued at between $50,000 and $75,000
from the firm that employed him,
George W. Simm, a salesman, accord
ing to Assistant District Attorney
Bohan, confessed he had sold the
clothing at half the price and had lost
most of the money in Wall street
speculations.
Magical Usit
Now all you ladies who suffer (yes,
suffer, for you do) from unsightly
wrinkles can drive them away for
ever. Usit, the pure nut-oil skin food,
the "Arab's Secret," a preparation used
by famous Eastern beauties for cen
turies can be purchased at any first
class drug store.
This wonderful preparation (not a
face cream), Is positively guaranteed
to clear the complexion of all wrinkles,
whether caused by age, worry, work
or exposure. Rub it Into the skin
•with the finger tips at night Just be
fore retiring, and in a short time every
wrinkle will disappear, your hungry
faded skin will get back Its healthy
color, Its well nourished smoothness
and the lines in your face will be re
placed by youthful roundness. No
other treatment is necessary.
Usit is well named the "Wrinkle
Chaser" for no wrinkles can exist
where it is used. It is guaranteed to
contain nothing that will cause hair
growth.
Go to your druggist to-day and get
a bottle of Usit for 50 cents. Try it
to-night and see how fine your face
fee's in the morning. But remember
Usit is put up only In opal bottles.
Take nothing else.
The most painful cases of sunburn
are relieved instantly by Usit.
For sale by Gorgas, the druggist,
and dealers everywhere.

OF YE OLDEN DAY
[Continued From First Page]
burg's business districts Central,
East End and the Hill.
Promptly at 7.25 the streets will be
' plunged in sudden darkness just like
, they were in the days when John Har
ris was a mighty prominent citizen
'round here.
Five minutes later the curtain, or
curtains, figuratively and literally will
rise simultaneously on Harrisburg's
great uniform Fall opening display
by the city's progressive merchants.
It's to be one of the three "big nights"
which have been set aside for the pur
pose by the co-operative movement
of the merchants and the Chamber of
Commerce.
When the Curtain Rises
The Harrlsburg Light and Power
Company has been asked to co-operate
In the lighting end of the program, in
J a way to startle the thousands of peo
ple who will crowd the streets to gaze
upon the latest things in Fall wearing
apparel, millinery and scores of other
things that Harrisburg's merchants
will have on sale.
Wednesday night, by the way, is to
be the window trimming contest night
i and the committee of arrangements
want to drive home the effect of light
and shadow as effectively as possible
in the demonstration. Hence the plan
to keep the electric signs and window
Illuminations turned off until 7.30.
This feature will have to be handled
entirely by the merchants themselves
as these lights are regulated by
switches in the stores. The street
lights however, will be swung oft at
7.25 and on again at 7.50 from the
electric light plant.
Other Features
That's only a part of the program
for the three evenings, however; band
concerts, the street cabaret, the great
dance on Market Square—these are
features that will be worked out for
Thursday or Friday night. But the
details of these plans are in the hands
of the Rotary Club.

STORM DID MUCH DAMAGE
IX CITY'S LONG PARKWAY
Twelfth street playgrounds were
flooded by drain stoppages, Reservoir
park and Wildwood roads, and cer
tain points along the river front park
were more or less seriously washed out
and other damages to the extent of
several hundred dollars was done last
evening by the big storm.
Park Commissioner Gross and V.
Grant Forrer, assistant superinten
dent,made a flying trip of Investigation
this morning and decided then to close
the upper road from the breast of the
dam in Wildwood. The new Wild
wood culvert and the drains on the
new Cameron road held wonderfully.
CAN'T FIND PULLET;
SURGEONS WON'T PROBE
Examination by X-ray failed yester
day to reveal the location of the bul
let in the abdomen of V. Hunirnel Fa
ger, Jr., accidentally fired into him by
a young companion Wednesday at the
Cove. Drs. George B. Kunkel and H. B.
Walter decided that It would be use
less to attempt to probe for the bullet.
The youngster's condition was report
ed as progressing favorably and it Is
expected, that he wiU recover.
STEELTON
POLE REMOVAL IS
STRONGLY URGED
Businessmen Endorse Sugges
tion of Councilman McEntee;
Point Out Advantages
Elimination of all poles and over
head wires in Front and Second
streets and the lighting of these thor
oughfares with electric lamps placed
on ornamental standards, as suggested
to borough council by T. T. McEntee,
representative of the Fourth ward, is
being strongly urged by businessmen
and progressive citizens.
Both Front and Second streets, the
principal highways of the borough, are
thickly studded with unsightly poles
of telephone, telegraph, electric light
and trolley companies. Both streets
are comparatively narrow for the
i heavy traffic and the conglomeration
of poles has for years been a handicap
to the borough's businessmen.
BURY JOHN H. KEEFER

who was killed when he plunged
through a skylight at the bridge shop

YOU WANT PINK CHEEKS
Every woman wants pink cheeks.
They mean not only beauty but health.
Then put the color in your cheeks,
not on tnem. The glow of health is
the red of healthy blood showing
through translucent ekin. It is im
possible without rich, red blood.
When a girl's color fades and she
looks debilitated, is short of breath,
when her heart palpitates after every
Blight exertion and she has pains in
various parts of the body she needs Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
They are the remedy best suited to re
etore the blood, bring brightness to the
eyes and put color in the cheeks and
lips.
t The only other treatment needed costs
nothing. It is this. Give the patient
plenty of sunlight, moderate exercise
every day, not enough to cause fatigue,
and use care in the diet because the
food craved is often not the best for the
condition.
Two hooks, "Building Up the Blood"
and "What to Eat and How to Eat"
give just the information that every
mother of agrowing girl needs. They
are free. Write for them today to the
Dr. Williama Medicine Co., Schenec
tady ,N. Y. Your own druggist sells
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or you can
. send fifty cents iot ft lull-eue package.
