10 Young Man's Thumb Blown Off Trying to Kill Fox Waynesboro, Pa., April 3.—Chester Hahn, of Lewistown, Md., who Is vis iting his aunt here, is suffering from a gunshot wound in his right hand. For several weeks the premises of his mother, Mrs. Sallie Hahn, was visited by a fox that was preying chickens and seldom a day passed that reynard did not carry oft some of the fowls. Young Hahn, growing tired of these depredations, took his shotgun with the intention of killing the animal. He had spied it in a nearby woods, and while he was crawling through a fence with the gun, a twig of a bush became tangled in the trigger and caused the firearm to be discharged. The contents of the gun blew the young man's thumb off. He was taken to the Frederick hospital for treatment. MORE RHEUMATISM THAN EVER BEFORE Clergymen, Lawyers, Brokers, Me chanics and Merchants Stricken Our old friend Bheumatiz is having his inning this year, and a few words of caution from one who knows all about it may not be amiss. Wear rubbers in damp weather; keep your feet dry; drink plenty of lemonade, and avoid Btrong alcoholic drinks. If rheumatism gets you, or sciatica, and you have sharp twinges, gnawing pain or swollen joints or muscles, you can get rid of all agony in just a few days by taking one-half teaspoont'ul of Rheuma once a day. All druggists know about Rheuma; it's harmless, yet powerful; cheap, yet sure, and a 50-cent bottle will last a long time. Ask H. C. Kennedy, or any druggist.—adv.

Moran, local Willard representative. In charge of the Harrisburg Storage Bat tery Company, "is just as liable to wear out as tires and like the tire, it must be given careful attention by the owner If the longest possible life is to be obtained from it. "A storage battery is a chemical ap paratus consisting of positive and neg ative lead plates immersed in electro lyte, a solution of sulphuric acid. When the starting motor is used or the lights or ignition system put on the circuit, a certain electro-chemical action takes place between the positive and nega tive plates in the presence of the elec trolyte, and electricity flows through the wires. "As this chemical action continues the character of the plates change and the current will, ultimately, cease to llow and the batery will be dead. This condition, however, 1s forestalled by the generator, causing the currept to flow in the opposite direction, or to 'charge' tile battery. "Charging the battery does not mean that electricity is being stored up by the battery, but that by mean* of elec tricity the plates are being restored to the condition in which they were be fore the discharge began. "Because it Is a chemical appara tus. then, and not mechanical like a machine of iron and steel, the storage battery cannot be subjected to wear and tear of service without gradually deteriorating. Even when the battery Is at rest, some action is going on, and discharge is slowly taking place. "In time the plates lose their capac ity for reacting to the electrical charg ing. The insulation is all the time graduaHy wearing out and finally that gives way. Even with the best of care and with the best possible material, this is going to happen with any stor age battery. "But the battery does not always re ceive the best attention. It is the one accessory on the car which the aver age car owner seems to neglect. The car owner, however, should get his full money's worth from u good battery if he gives it care, although, as we have pointed out. he should expect to buy a new battery some day. This is just as reasonable an expense as buying a new tire. "From the foregoing it is perfectly obvious that batteries myst be made of the best quality possible to begin with and then, if they are to be kept in efficient condition they must have good treatment at the hands'of the owners. It Is impossible to prescribe any definite term of life for a storage battery for its period of efficiency may vary greatly, according to the two fac tors just mentioned, as well as in ac cordance with the quality and aondi tion of the starting jnotor and gen erator. PAY ATTENTION TO THAT LITTLE BALD SPOT Here's good news at last for men and women -whose hair is falling, who are getting bald, or prematurely gray and whose scalps are covered with dandruff that nothing seems to keep away and whose heads itch like mad. H. C. Kennedy has secured thf local agency for Parisian Sage, a simple, harmless hair treatment that Is so cer tain in its tonic action on the hair and scalp and so sure of giving the limit of satisfaction, that they sell it with offer of money refunded, if it does not abolish dandruff, stop itching head, and not only check excessive loss of hair but stimulate a new growth. Parisian Sage is a delicately per fumed liquid, antiseptic and scientifi cally prepared, which when massaged into the scalp goes right down to the hair roots, where most hair worries begin, and furnishes the famished roots with the nourishment that Is lack ing to make the hair grow better and show more life and vitality.

This revealed that of the 13 mem bers of the board, two of whom are not married, 10 are mothers, having In all 25 childrep. The youngest of the suffrage children is Roberta Bed ford, daughter of Mrs. J. Claude Bed ford. of Media, who is just eight old, and who is one of four daughters in the Bedford family. It was revealed that one member of the board, Mrs. Edwin Linton, of Washington, Pa., is a grandmother. Other members are mothers of mar ried daughters or sons already making their way in the business or profes sional world. The mothers among (he suffrage ex ecutives are: Mrs. George B. Orlady, of Huntingdon, president, three chil dren: vloe-j>residents, Mrs. J. O. Mil ler, of Pittsburgh, two; Mrs. George A.

Sauer a Boston physician who has studied both in this country and In great European Medical Institu tions says: "As I have said a hun dred times over organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or rundown, in stead of dosing themselves with habit forming drugs, stimulants and alco holic beverages I am convinced that in this way they could ward olf dis ease. preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases and thereby the lives of thousands might be saved who now die every year from pneu monia, grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and other dangerous maladies. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood. Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life Insurance. 1 was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact a young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The se cret, he said, was taking iron—nux ated iron had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was in Dad health; at 46 he was careworn and nearly ni in—now ut 50 after taking Nuxated Iron a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to en able your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you cat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a con sequence you become weak, pale and sickly-looking, just like a plant try ing to grow in a soil deficient in iron.
