|| Make Skin Smooth J
There is one safe, dependable treat
ment that relieves itching torture in
stantly and that cleanses and soothes
the skin.
Ask any druggist for a 25c bottle of
zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that pimples, black heads,
eczema, ringworm and similar skin
troubles will disappear.
A little zemo, the penetrating, satis
fying liquid, is all that is needed, for
it banishes all skin eruptions and
makes the skin soft, smooth and
healthy.

TANLAC PUT HIM
BACK ON THE
JOB, HE STATES
H. F. Minahan, Forced to Lay
Off by Failing Health, Tells
How Master Medicine Bene
fited Him and Sent Him Back
to Work.
"Tanlac put me back in a position to
earn money and brought back my old
appetite," says H. F. Monahan, of
2144 Greenwood street.
•'Kidney trouble and a lame back
had made me lay off, but your modi
cine put me back on the job again,
and I certainly think it is the goods.
"I used to work for an express com
pany, but hustling heavy weights
strained my back severely, and I had
to transfer to a wagon job. I was out
In all weathers, and getting wet gave
me a cold that settled in my kidneys
and I had to lay off.
"I tried to pret fixed up so I could go
back to work, but there was nothing
doing until I started in on Tanlac, and
that sure did turn the trick.
"It Just seemed to know what my
trouble was and it went right to it.
Took only two or three davs to make
me feel like my old self, and now I'm
back at my old job. one I had before I
went with the express company, and
making good money again.
"I know I wouldn't be working to
day if I hadn't taken Tanlac, and I'll
speak a good word for it whenever I
get a chance."

so highly praised by grateful thou
sands. Is now being specially intro
duced here at Gorgas' Drug Store. 16

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sluices of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom
ach, lame back, can, instead, both look
and feel as fresh as a daisy always by
washing the poisons and toxins from
the body with phosphated hot water,
each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to flush from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and ten yards of bowels the pre
vious day's Indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary tract before putting more
food Into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
Is wonderfully Invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, Kases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast, and it
Is said to be but a little while until the
roses begin to appear in the checks.
A quarter-pound of limestone phos
phate wiil cost very little at the drug
store, but is sufficient to make anyone
who Is bothered with biliousness, con
stipation. stomach trouble or rheuma
tism n real enthusiast on the subject
of Internal sanitation. Try it and you
are assured that you will look better
and feel better In every way shortly.

The Department s staff, although
, very busy now with the Infantile par

shown the typhoid came from water

; is generally blamed on Ice cream. The
water supply is carefully followed and
the suburban supply is also being j
checked up. Recently improvements
were made to filters in vicinity of the j
city.
After going through places where
milk is received in Harrisburg, the
State inspectors will follow the milk to :
its shipping point and then go to the j
farms where it is produced and re- |
port on conditions and on the sur- j
rounding country. It will be one of !
the most careful investigations and j
will be of value not only to Harrisburg. j

CINCO CIGARS
Now Five Cents Straight
Owing to the'increased cost of pro
duction, the manufacturers of CINCO
Cigars, OTTO EISENLOHR & BROS.,
INCORPORATED, have advanced
their seling price <o the dealers, and,
in future, this cigar will be sold to
the consumer absolutely at five cents
straight, instead of six for a quarter,
as heretofore.
The CINCO Cigar has attained a
national reputation, and, through the
maintenance of a high standard of
quality, has become the largest seller
in the world, and the manufacturers
deemed It advisable to advance the
price rather than sacrifice its long
established high quality.

POLICE SEEK MAN
WHO THREW STONE
Assailant Fractured Skull of
Motorman on Trolley Which
Killed George Fox
County authorities and private de
tectives of the Harrisburg Railways
Company are making a thorough
search in an effort to locate the person
who threw the large stone at Motor
man Martin A. Brandt, 1310 Berry
hill street, who was running the car
which killed George W. Fox, aged 43,
of Paxtang, near Rutherford on Satur
day night.
Brandt is in the Harjysburg hos
pital in a serious condition suffering
from a fractured skull and concus
sion of the brain. The attack was
made on his return trip from Hum
melstown after he had struck Fox,
who died from a fractured skull and
shock. His legs were also crushed.
Coroner Eckjnger spent the day
working on the case but at a late hour
this afternoon had not set a time for
the inquest. It will probably be post
poned pending the result of the in
juries to Brandt. The stone which
struck him was hurled through the
vestibule window. He continued run
ning his car, but passengers saw that
his condition was serious and called
the conductor to bring the car to this
city. Fox is survived by a mother and
two sisters. His funeral will be held
on Wednesday.
Brandt, when he regained conscious
ness, could not give the authorities a
description of the man who threw the
stone through the car window.

quate police protection was responsible
for the boldness of the burglars, who
entered the room In which Mrs. Trego
was sleeping. Last week an attempt
was made, according to Mr. Trego, to
enter the first floor of his home, the
night after four other houses in the
vicinity were entered.
Rob Five Houses at Paxtang
Early vesterdav morning five houses
In Paxtang were entered, food and
money stolen, and attempts made to
rob six other residences. That a gang
of burglars is making a systematic
visit of residences in the city and
near by is the belief of people in that
town, who are planning to organize a
vigilance committee. So far more than
fifty robberies and numerous attempts
have been reported.
The places entered last night In
Paxtang, with the loot which was
taken, follow: Dr. J. J. Mullowney,
small sum of money and. provisions;
John H. Attlcks, provisions; Thomas
Lyter, revolver and flashlight: William
H. Cordry, money and produce; Harry
Crouse. $4.
Entrance was gained through win
dows on the first floor and after steal
ing the supplies the thieves took two
baskets at the residence of Dr. Mul
lowney and carried the provisions to
the store of T. H. Loser. Here they
took large delivery baskets from one
of his wagons and carried the food
away.
Attempts were made, apparently
with a small screwdriver, to pry open
the windows at the following homes:
H. F. Evster, Edward Davis, H. G.

Rutherford and John Mosey.

NAMES POURING IN FOR
PROPOSED HOTEL
[Continued I lmu First Page]
other suggestions. Up to the present
time the name which seems to have
most general approval, having been
®ent in by at least three persons, is
"The Penn-Harris." This name is
urged because it represents the State,
the city and the great William Penn
highway.
The fact that this splendid hotel is
to be managed without a bar has at
tracted much attention. At the morn
tog service in the Market Square
Presbyterian Church yesterday the
Rev. Dr. Hawes somplimented the
men who have macfe possible the new
hotel and congratulated the city upon
the prospect of a great place of enter
tainment without the stigma of liquor
upon it.
Among those who have suggested
a name for the hotel ara the follow
ing:
H. L. Stroh, Washington, D. C.: —
"I Have been reading in the Telegraph
with much Interest the push of the
solid men of my native city of Har
risburg in the building of an up-to
the-minute hotel.
"Those of my acquaintances of this
city, who have visited Harrisburg, say
they cannot understand why an
aggressive city such as Pennsylvania
State Capitol should be lacking In
modern hotel accommodation; as they
with one accord speak of Harrisburg
and Its environments as a garden spot.
"Am very glad results are showing
and would suggest a snappy name for
the hotel as the 'Penn-Harris.' "
X. G. W. writes;—"ln naming the
new hotel, it seems to me one thing
should be kept in mind. When we
speak of the Bellevue-Stratford, the
Brunswick, Casey, Sterling, Ft. Pitt,
William Penn, etc., we do not have to
name the town we mean.
"It is, perhaps, unfortunate, that
Pittsburgh already has a William
Penn hotel, since the Harrisburg
hotel will stand on the highway 01
that name. Possibly we could find no
better name, than that of the city
itself. Let us hope, however, that Dr.
Hamilton or someone else will be In
spired with a name ts appropriate
and interest-creating as that which he
gave the water carnival,
"It Is a matter in which every citi
zen should take an interest and in
which the hotel company should be
deliberate. Given a distinctive name,
the hotel will be one of the best ad
vertisements the capital could have."
E. L. McColgin, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, writes as fol
lows:
"Permit me to suggest the 'Fort
Washington' as a name for the new
hotel. This name has appealed to me
as being suitable for a variety of rea
sons. It is dignified and has not been
worn threadbare by being used as a
name for inns, taverns and hotels
throughout Pennsylvania, as is the
case with some names.
"The flame Fort Washington w:Il
always be Identified with the history
and patriotic interests of Harrisburg,
because the fort marked the high tide
of the war of the rebellion in Penn
sylvania, and the whole nation for
that matter.
"A number of Pennsylvania hotels
bear 'fort' names; Wilkes-Barre has
the Fort Durkee and the new hotel in
Johnstown is named the Fort Stan
wlx."
A. B. Millar, secretary of the Pub
lic Utilities Commission suggests the
"Hotel Necessity" as deacriblng the
present conditions.
One who Is Interested in the mat
ter, but who does not give his name
says: "I think your new hotel should
be named 'Hotel Federal'."
STATE AUTHORITIES AGAINST
WALNUT STREET BRIDGE
City Solicitor Seita as a matter of
course will submit to the Public Serv
ice Commission without unnecessary
delay the plans and all details of the
proposed Walnut street bridge over
the Pennsylvania railroad.
At the same time It is expected the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
file a vigorous protest. It is also prob
able thrat the City Planning Commis
sion, already on record as unanimously
opposed to the bridge at the Walnut
street location, will submit Its protest.
Governor Brumbaugh and other
State oinclAls are strenuously opposed
to the proposed structure In view of
the plans which are already outlined
for the Improvement of the Capitol
Park extension and favor either an
overhead ornamental bridge or sub
way at State street.

British War Car Immune
From Machine Can Fire
Demoralizes Germans
At the British Front on the Somme,
Sept. 17 (via London, Sept. 18).
German prisoners freely admit the
demoralization of their infantry by
the new British armored motorcars,
the so-called "tanks."
"There was no standing against that
sort of thing," said one German of
ficer. "Of cburso we surrendered,
those of us who were alive. Wo tired
at a tank with our rifles and turned
our machine guns loose on It. But the
bullets only made blue sparks on the
armor. We had thought the British
slow and stupid, in spite of their cour
age and stubbornness, and yet they
gave us a surprise like this."
A column of German prisoners
parsing one of the tanks, dubbed the
i.reme de Menthe" by its "crew,
standing quietly beside the road after
the battle spread out their hands and
shook their heads at the sight of It.
"Gott in Htmmel," ran the course
of their exclamations. "It Is under
control! It won't break out and be
gin firing again! Will we ever for
get our first sight of the thing as it
came at us out of the morning mist?
. i 1?!* w ? r usln S a piece of machin
ery like that, It is butchery!"
n-m u C l! ar now that the Kreat
British attack caught the Germans
just as they themselves were massing
troops at many points to attempt to
recover some of tho high ground thev
had lost, and got in the first and
test blow. As a result, it is ad
mitted by prisoners, the German
losses were immense.

German Positions Over
Four-Mile Front Taken
London, Sept. 18.! German posi
tions exceeding foiir miles in length
were captured Saturday night and Sun
day.by the British and French armies
in the continuation of their offensive
north and south of the Somme river in
France. In addition, quantities of war
material and a large number of pris
oners fell into the hands of the entente
?i Ue^T"' 00 L prisoners being taken by
the French alone. Heavy counter at
tacks against the British yesterday re
pulsed with large losses to the Ger
mans.
Near Thiepval the British took a for
tified position over a front of a mile,
known as "The Danube Trench;" near
Courcelette an advance of about 1 OOu
yards was made, and finally the strong
ly defended position at the Mouquei
farm, over which there had been
numerous hard-fought battles for sev
eral weeks, fell into their hands.
To the south of the river the French
pushed back the Germans and occupied
the remainder of the towns of Verman*
dovillers and Berny still in their hands
and also captured all the ground be
tween Verman dovillers and Deniecourt
and between Deniecourt and Berny, the
gain being ouer a front running north
east two miles and thence east another
mile.
The advance of the British apparent
ly- straightens out the salient that had
projected into their lines between
Thiepval and Courcelette and brings
their front here to within a scant mile
of Orandcourt and the Albert-Bauaume
Railway. Grandcourt now is being
bambarded by the British. Th* success
of the French seemingly obliterates
another of the many saw-tooth salients
which mark the entire front of the
Somme, and Is another move of the
right flank of the Entente toward the
pocketing of Peronne.
Von Mackensen Forced
Russians and Rumanians
in Loop of Great U
Amsterdam, via London, Sept. 18.—
Details of Field Marshal Von Macken
sen's victory over the Russians and
Rumanians in the Dobrudja district
are given in a copy of the Berjin
"Vossische Zeitung" received here.
The paper says:
"A German division moving along
the Danube east of Silistria drove back
a Rumanian division upon the Rus
sians, who formed the right and
center of the line. The Germans then
got. on the flank of the Russians and
at the same time German and Bul
garian cavalry, operating on the Ger
man right, drove a Serbian division
back along the railroad. Thus Field
Marshal Mackensen's troops formed
the letter U with the Russians, Ser
bians and Rumanians crowded within
the loop.
"The Russians held their front for
some time until Mackensen concen
trated his forces on thm and their,
resistance collapsed."
The "Rester Lloyd" says:
"The battle of Dobrich, which
cleared Mackensen's right flank, last
ed three days and nights. The' R
umanian forces cama up only on the
'third day. The brunt of the fighting
was maintained by the Russians and
the Serbians."

BLACKMAILER
SOCIETY FOLK
[Continued From First Page]
cording to Hinton G. Clabaugh, head
of the Chicago bureau of the Federal
Department of Justice. Both are at
liberty. They will become witnesses
for the government, however, when
the eight members of the alleged syn
dicate. arrested in the raid on a fash
ionable apartment hotel Saturday
night, are brought to trial, Mr. Cla
baugh said.
Operations of the syndicate which
now appears to have been of inter
national proportions, were not on?y
confined to the blackmail of wealthy
men and women, according to infor
mation developed to-day. Among the
effects in the office of "Doc" Edward
Donahue, one of the men caught in
the Saturday night raid, was stationery
of the "United Turf Exchange," with
"headquarters in New York and offices
all over the world." There were also
cipher codes for deciphering messages
received by wire, telling what horses
to bet on, how much to bet, what races
and positions to play.
Fake newspaper clippings detailing
the wonderful clean-ups made by a
young eastern plunger in pool rooms,
apparently had been used to lure vic
tims. One letter found in Donahue's
room, at the fashionable South Side
apartment house, was from the "horse
man's association" of Louisville, Ky.,
signed by J. C. Saulsberry, secretary,
and addressed to A. T. Karger. The
secretary said he was sorry to hear of
"Mr. Karger's notoriety lately and
hoped he wouldn't have another oc
currence like that again." >
According to Department of Justice
officials here to-day, the "United Turf
Exchange" must have been an ex
clusive affair. The rules stated that
members using the club rooms in the
evening must appear in full dress.
According to the Federal officials
to-day here are some of the things
done by the syndicate:
They fleeced a multimillionaire of
New York out of $40,000 by threaten
ing him with arrest for alleged viola
tion of the Mann act, two of the mem
bers of the syndicate Imperuonating
secret service agents for that purpose.
They frightened a wealthy Phila
delphia woman who had been too
friendly with a stranger in a cafe into
giving them $35,000. They took $lO,
000 from each of five Chicagoans, two
of whom are women. They brought
about their own arrest by allegedly
taking $3,500 from Mrs. Regina Clip
per of Philadelphia, and afterward
kidnaping her.
It was said to-day that the organiza
tion had worked as a whole since the
first of the year, and It is believed to
have cleaned up in that time $1,000,-
000. The government officials say that
for one known victim of the syndicate
there are probably twenty unknown.
Those under arrest gave the names
of Henry Russell, Edward Donahue,
Helen Evers, Mrs. Frances Allen, Mrs.
Edward Donahue, James Christian,
Frank Crocker and George Bland.
George Irwin, alleged director of the
group, is still at large.
The chief charge against the band
is the alleged kidnaping of Mrs.
Regina H. Clifford, of Philadelphia,
one of their alleged victims, who is
wanted as a Government witness.
She was spirited away to Canada, it
is charged, at the time she wanted to
testify against the gang.
"The chief offenses charged against
the band occurred in Philadelphia,
and for that reason they will be taken
there for trial," said Clabaugh.
"They will be arraigned for prelim
inary hearing here Tuesday and will
be started for Philadelphia immedi
ately afterward."
Clabaugh said there were fifteen
known victims of the gang and that
the amount obtained from these vic
tims will reach probably $250,000.
From one person $40,000 was obtain
ed and $35,000 from another, Cla
baugh said.
The authorities refused to reveal
the names of the victims. Some, it
was said, are men prominent in poli
tical life, who were victimized while
at the Republican convention here in
June.
During the raid, which had been
planned for many weeks, an elab
orate opium outfit was found in one
of the apartments.

To End Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises
Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and head noises will be giaa
to know that this distressing affliction
can be successfully treated at home by
an internal remedy that in many in
stances has effected aeomplete cure after
all else has failed. Sufferers who could
scarcely hear a watch tick have had
their heal ing restored to such an extent
that the tick of a watch was plaini>
audible seven or eight inches away
from either ear.
Therefore, if you know someone who
is troubled with head noises or catarrh,
or catarrhal deafness, cut out this
formula and hand to them, and you will
have been the means of saving soma
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. The prescription can be prepared
at home, and is made as follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 oz. Par
mint (Double Strength), about 750
worth. Take this home and add to It
V* pint of hot water and 4 ozs. ot
granulated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take one tablespoonful four times a.
day.
The first dose should begin to relieve
the distressing head noises, headache,
dullness, cloudy thinking, etc.. while the
hearing rapidly returns as the system
is invigorated by the tonic action or
the treatment. Loss of smell and mucus
dropping In the back of the throat, are
other symptoms that show the presence
of catarrhal poison, and which are often
entirely overcome by this efficactoua
treatment. Nearly ninety per cent. oE
all ear troubles are said to be directly
caused by catarrh, therefore, there must
be many people whose hearing can ba
restored by this simple home treatmenu
Every person who is troubled with
head noises, catarrhal deafness or ca
tarrh in any form, should give this pre
scription a trial.—Advertisement.

Agent Will Take Phila.
Woman Who Was Swindled
to Appear Against Gang
Philadelphia, Sept. 18. An agent
of the Department of Justice will
leave here to-night for Chicago to
appear against members of an alleged
blackmailing syndicate arrested in
that Qity Saturday night. With him
will go Mrs. Regina Clipper, formerly
of this city, but now residing in New
Jersey, who is expected to appear
against some of those under arrest.
Mrs. Clipper was a victim of the
alleged blackmailing syndicate ac
cording to the Federal authorities,
having paid over to the syndicate a
sum of money said to be less than
SISOO. Some of the alleged black
mailers were arrested and when Mrs,
Clipper was about to appear against
them they succeeded In getting her
into Canada. Government agents
here said to-day that the alleged
blackmailers had laid themselves
open to a charge of obstructing just-
Ice, rather than one of kidnaping.
It was the opinion of agents that Mrs.
Clipper may have voluntarily gone to
Canada to avoid being a witness and
possibly get her money back.
William Bugler, an alleged member
of the syndicate who was charged
with attempting to extort money
from a Philadelphia woman to pro
tect her son, was to have been tried
at the present term of the Federal
court here but as the woman has since
died, the case has been held lip in
definitely. Butler was arrested the
day after an alleged confederate was
apprehended in New York.
CHILD DIES SUDDENLY
Blaln, Pa., Sept. 18. Kathryn, the
3-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Boyer, of Philadelphia, died

vulsions at the home of the child's
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. E. D.
Boyer, here. The child ate a quantity
of fruit and is believed to have swal
lowed chewing gum. The funeral took
place this afternoon.
