For Forty Years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has Relieved
the Sufferings of Women.
It hardly seems possible that there is a woman in this
country who continues to suffer without giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial after all the evi
dence that is continually being published, proving beyond
contradiction that this grand old medicine has relieved
more suffering among women than any other medicine in
the world.
Mrs. Kieso Cured After Seven Month's Illress.
Aurora, 111.—"For seven long months I suffered
from a female trouble, with severe pains in my back
and sides until I became so weak I could hardly
walk from chair to chair, and got so nervous I
would jump at the slightest noise. I was entirely
unfit to do my house work, I was giving up hope of
ever being well, when my sister asked me to try
Lydia E. Pinkham'i Vegetable Compound. I took
six bottles and today I am a healthy woman able to
do my own housework. I wish every suffering
woman would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
J Compound, and find out for herself how good
it is."— MRS. KARL A. KIESO, 596 korth Ave., Aurora, 111.
* Could Hardly Get Off Her Bed.
Cincinnati, Ohio.—"l want you to know the good Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I was iu such bad
health from female troubles that I could hardly get off my bed. I
had been doctoring for a long time and my mother said,'l want you
tq try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.' Sa I did, and it
has certainly made me a well woman. lam able to do my house work
and am so happy as I never expected to go around the way I do again,
and I want others to know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has done for me." —Mrs. JOSIE COPNER, 1668 Harrison Ave.,
Fairmount, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Hundreds of music-loving people
attended the great oratorio, entitled
"Elijah," which was rendered by
the Harrisburg Christian Endeavor

capacity. Almost one hundred mem

of the West Shore towns. The hon
orary members occupied the seats
in the reserved section of the audi
torium. The chorus was seated in
a butterfly style which was very
effective. The men were all dress
ed in black and seated in the center
and the women were dressed in
white and grouped on each side of
the platform.
Charles S. Urich, president of the
Harrisburg C._ E. Union, presided
and gave a short welcome address.
He said, "The Harrisburg C. E.
Choral Union, composed of singers
from all denominations of this city
and vicinity is organized to advance
the interest of music in the various
churches and co-operate in union
efforts. Any person is welcome to
join the choral before the next re
cital, by making application to any
member or the secretary. Miss Anna

j Roy G. Cox, soprano; Mrs. H. L.
| Hertzler, contralto; M. D. Hollen

fectively. Miss Ruth Hoover gave
excellent assistance in the ladies
tvio. The chorus throughout, under
the efficient leadership of Prof.
| Frank A. McCarrell, broke all
records of the eight years' history,
for effective, appreciative and high
class singing.

SCOUT CAMPAIGN
WARMLY ENDORSED
[Continued From First Page]
that had come to bis own sons from
the Scout organization and heartily
endorsed the campaign.
Flavel L. Wright and Andrew E.
Buchanan, head of the "Blue" and
divitions of the campaign
teams then addressed the captains.
The canvass was declared under way
after Scout Organizer Buddy and
Howard C. Fry had introduced the j
teams' membesr as to the methods of I
procedure.
They're off, the Bpy Stout cam- |
Pftigners are, and when they come J
I back Saturday they'll bring $12,000 j
along with them.
The campaigners, 120 strong, re-j
eeived their final instructions at a j
noon luncheon to-day in the Board |
of Trade building from Lewis C. j
Buddy, national field service com- I
missioner. and immediately dispers-;
ed into every section of the city to
enlist the support, financial and mo-!
ral, of the good people of Harris
burg in the future citizenship of the
city.
For that is just what the cam
paign means; that is the motive be
hind the "big drive" to bag that
$12,000.
The canvassers were surcharged
with a fervid enthusiasm by Mr.
Buddy, who is a human fountain of
youth, as they heard him extol the
righteous and patriotic cause of de
veloping the lads oi Harrlsburg into
a "physically strong, mentally
awake and morally straight" citi
zenry.
Three-Year Basis
The immediate object of the cam
paign, as set forth in a folder sent
out by the Citizens Campaign Com
mittee, which is composed of forty
two prominent is the
raising of $12,000 to provide a
gadget to develop Boy Scout activi
ties for the next three years. This
amount will make it possible to en
roll at least 3,000 lads in the local
Boy Scout troops. To-day there are
only 250 Boy Scouts in Harrisburg.
] The circular says: "An adequate
budget will make possible the hand
ling of these boys. It will lead
many to turn from wrong to right;
good boys made better, all boys
made resourceful, at a minimum
overhead expense.
"A hundred men in this city have
been giving gratuitously of their
time and means to xnis character
building boys' work.
"We offer you this opportunity to
make a subscription towards a
i three-years' budget. This is an in
vestment in the future citizenship of
our city. We are all busy men. but
we know this work is worth while."
Two Divisions of Canvassers
The canvassers are divided into
two divisions, the "Blues" and
"Reds," and a great rivalry between
them was clearly manifested at the
luncheon to-day. The two divisions
are composed of ten teams, each of
which consist of six canvassers.
During the four-day campaign
luncheons will be held in the Board
of Trade Building and the team cap
tains will report (he results of their
canvass which will be recorded on
a large bulletin board. Prominent
citizens will speak at the luncheons
each day and Mr. Buddy will see
that the flow of enthusiasm con
tinues to run high.
Crowds have been watching the
strong right arm of the big scout on
the old Commonwealth Hotel build
ing all afternoon. Before evening it
should begin to move into what will
culminate by Saturday the "Boy
Scout Salute," signaling the com
pletion of the $12,000 fund.
Scouts Giving Exhibitions
"More power to your right!" cried
a man of affairs to-day after the
fashion of the boy in the street, as
he stopped to look at the big scout.
Boy Scouts are giving exhibitions
in first aid and other activities of
their organization each night this
week in the large show windows of
several of the department stores,
j hast night they entertained hun-
I dreds of people who stopped to "take
I in the free shows."
I The exhibitions are being given in
I these stores: Dives, Pomeroy &

Washington, May 9. —Prohibition
UP a wur meusure was endorsed
Inst night by the Federal Council
of the Protestant churches of North
America and a committee was ap
pointed with Governor MHliken, of
Maine, as chairman to appear be
fore the Senate agricultural commit*
tec to urge passage of the bills to
this end now pending, that the action
was taken largely on economic

made and its use by the government
in manufacturing munitions of war.
