So many Harrisburg people are ask ing how to recover their strength after sickness that we are publishing this information for their benefit. After grijjpe, pleurisy, pneumonia or any illness what you need is new strength and richer blood. The most certain way to get this is by taking Yinol. which contains beef and cod liver peptones, iron, man ganese peptonates and gvlcerophos phates. It creates strength, improves ihe blood, sharpens the appetite and restores the entire system to a healthy, robust condition. North Adams, Mass.—"After a long illness of pneumonia I was left in a weakened, delicate condition, and for a long time had searched for a body builder and strength creator. I was attracted by an advertisement of Yinol, and tried a bottle, and soon noticed a vast improvement. I continued its use for a while, and am now as able bodied and strong as any man in town." Samuel Wood. North Adams, Mass. Try a bottle of Yinol. Tour money ■will be returned if it does not restore your vitality and strength. Gecrge A.

A cash register in the office was also broken open and $lO taken. The robbers broke into the office about 2.30 o'clock and with hammers cracked oft the combination knob of the safe and placed dynamite or nitroglycerine In the hole with a fuse attached. It required three charges to blow open the safe and the detonation awoke the people In the neighborhood. The third explosion threw the safe door into the large plate glass window in the office, breaking the pane into small pieces. The reports awoke R. M. Hall, living across the street from the bakery, and he Immediately started out to hunt of ficers but when he returned with others the robbers had fled. The men came to town in an auto mobile, which they left standing along the railroad at the edge of the town, and when they ran away they went to the machine and rapidly drove oft in the direction of Hagerstown. There were three men in the party one re mainging outside, while the others op erated in the office. It is believed the robbers intended to start a fire In a barn on the farm of C. M. Hunter, a short distance from town, in order to take the people out of the neighborhood. When Mr. Hun ter went to the barn yesterday morn ing he found a bundle of cloth, contain a lot of nails and matches, the whole package was saturated with oil. This was placed under a pile of hay In the loft, with the Idea, it is believed, that spontaneous combustion would fire It. Several weeks ago what was at that time thought to have been a plot to rob the postofflce, here, was frustrated by Postmaster Warelilme; becoming suspicious of several strangers com ing In and out of the office and had them watched, They disappeared, hut the same night a largo bakery storage building, shout a square or more from the postofflce, was set on tire and com pletely destroyed. Germany Is Far From Famished and Not Ready to Quit, London Belief London, Jan. 22. With the great est confidence it can can be stated that there is no expectation here of peace until after the next campaign.. Noth ing haa come from the centrai powers recently to satisfy British leaders that the enemy is prepared to consider peace on any but his own terms. Balfour's mild and temperate pres entation of Great Britain's position ap parently invites a reply from the Ger man Chancellor, but whether the lat ter dare answer it in the face of the present opposition from von Tirpita von Reventlow and the pan-Ocrmanic party remains to be seen. It is un likely that Hoiiweg s next move will be anything more than a repetition of his previous stand, except for a slight modification in the tone of the de mands.

BAER In the government postal service ' for almost half a century, Andrew J.

Hummelstown then and shortly after being mustered out he came to Har risburß on a visit, lie was a young land handsome fellow, much resem bllns John Wilkes Booth, the assassin l of President Lincoln, and on his ar i rival in Harrlsburjj he stopped at the Farmers' Hotel.

The strong resemblance of young Baer to Booth was noted by some of the people in the hotel, who did not know him. and soon the story spread that Booth was there, and arrange ments were made to capture him. The provost guard stationed here was in formed and a squad of soldiers ap peared at the hotel to arrest the man they supposed to be Lincoln's mur derer. Friends of Mr. Baer got wind of the story and gave him the "tip," and as the soldiers entered the front door of the hotel Baer slipped out of the back door and hastened to his Hummelstown home. Another episode in the veteran's life was his being in the Johnstown flood. He was on the ill-fated day express that halted at tlifc Johnstown station when the flood came, and was about to run for safety from his postal car when he glanced in the parlor car and saw a woman, helpless. Mr. Baer tore down the curtains of the car, wrapped the woman in them and carried her to a place of safety up the hillside just as the great volume of the flood struck the train and swept it and many passengers to destruction, i The woman he saved was the in valid wife of Elijah Halford, of In diana, secretary to President Harrison, who was on her way home.
