KIDNEYS NEVER
CAUSE BACKACHE
Rub pain, soreness and stiff
ness right out with
"St. Jacobs Oil."
Kidneys cause backache? No!
They have no nerves, therefore can
not cause pain. Listen! Your back
ache is caused by lumbago, sciatica
or a strain, and the quickest relief is
soothing, penetrating "St. Jacobs Oil."
Rub it right on the ache or tender
spot, and instantly the pain, soreness,
stiffness and lameness disappears.
Don't stay crippled! Get a small trial
bottle of "St. Jacobs Oil" from your
druggist and limber up. A moment
after it Is applied you'll wonder what
became of the backache, sciatica or
lumbago pain. '.'St. Jacobs OH" stopß
any pain at once. It is harmless and
doesn't burn or discolor the skin.
It's the only application to rub on
a weak, lame or painful back, or for
lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma
tism, sprains or a strain.

HOSTESSES PLAN
FOR "BIG NIGHT"
Hallowe'en to Be Eve of Gaiety
—Parties Hinge on Street
Cabaret
With the approach of the mysterious
Evo of All Hallows, scores of pros
pective party hostesses and dance
committees are working out the thou
sand and one details of decorative
schemes, supper plans, favor selec
tions, game arrangements and so pn.
For Hallowe'en is to be a "big
night" in Harrisburg's social progrtm.
Of course there'll be two or three big
dances including the Hallowe'en dance
Monday, October 30 in Winterdale for
which a committee consisting of
Misses Anna Bacon and Emmellne
Stevens have issued invitations.
At the country clubs, both the Har
risburg and Colonial, big programs are
being discussed. Cards and dancing will
be a feature at the latter club.
Innumerable smaller dances are be
ing plannted and the worried farmer
whose best market customer has been
daily urging delivery of pumpkins and
yet more pumpkins and sheaves and
shocks of cornstocks for decorative
purposes, can testify most any day as
to the possible activities of the pretty
would-be hostess of Hallowe'en par
ties.
Then, too, the rapid approach of the
special season for ghostly witches on
flying brooms, glaring green-eyed
black cats and other shiver}- things, is
more than suggested by tne appear
ance of the window decorations in
downtown stores.
Orange and black predominate In
the color scheme; black cats with
varicolored eyes and Impossible arch
ing backs; owls that almost seem
ready to hoot at you through the
glass; more or less ugly witches in
high crowned hats and armed with
ever-ready brooms—these are all very
much in evidence.
Overshadowing everything, even the
most carefully worked out plans of
pretty hostesses, however, will be the
"big night" of the street cabaret and
dance in Market Square, Tuesday
evening, October 31.
Officially, it's to be the closing night
of the three-night program of the
merchants' Fall opening campaign
postponed, but some eager thousands
of youngsters aren't so particularly
concerned about that. To them, it
means that Harrisburg is to have a
real celebration of—
"Hallowe'en!"
Paul H. Nisley, 2306 North Sixth
street, who has been visiting his
parents for several days, left yesterday
