Wife to Blame if Husband Drinks, Says Druggist Brown, of Cleveland, Who Tells Wife What To Do A Xtw Treatment Given Without the Consent or Knowledge of the Drinker. Cleveland. O.—No wife has a right to blame her husband because he Jrinks, says Druggist Brown, of Cleve land. It is her fault if she lets him drink and bring unhappiness and pov erty to her home and she has no right to complain. A woman can stop a drinking husband in a few weeks for half what he would spend on liquor, so why waste sympathy on a wife who refuses to do it. Druggist Brown also say? the right time to stop the drink habit is at its beginning unless you want drink to deaden the fine sen sibilities of the husband you love. Be gin with the first whiff of liquor on his breath, but do not despair if he has gone from bad to worse until he is rum-soaked through and through. Druggist Brown knows the curse of strong drink because he himself has been a victim. He was rescued from the brink of a drunkard's grave by a loving sister who, after ten years' time, revealed the secret to him. She saved him from drink—rescued him from his own depraved self, by giving him a secret remedy, the formula of an old German chemist. To discharge his debt to her and to help other vic tims out of the murk arid mire he has made the formula public. Any drug gist can put it in the hands of anv suffering wife, mother, sister or daughter. Just ask the druggist for prepared Tescum powders and drop a powder twice a day in tea, coffee, milk or any other drink.

Friday, yard mVU I Astrich's Old Store WEDNESDAY EVENING, U.S. TO SEND 100 FLYERS A MONTH Training Begun For Company to Leave For France in September Washington, June 13. The United States Government has completed ten tative plans to send 1,000 aviators a month to France, and the first big overseas force of airmen will be ready to embark some time in September. These men will have received pre liminary training in technical schools and on aviation fields before they leave the United States, and. in fact, the majority of those who will go with the first contingent are now at work on the rudiments of flying. On arriving in France they will be given a short period of intensive training under French instructors, and will then start for the battle front. American manufacturers have prom ised to supDly all the training planes needed by this country and its allies and thus make it possible for the French and English to devote all of their energies to the turning out of the fast and powerful battle planes which will be needed to end the ques tion of the supremacy of the air. It is not unlikely that some of the great factories which in the past have been used for the manufacture of automo biles will be turned into airplane plants. This, in brief, is the situation to day. Experts from England, France and the United States are at work with the one purpose in view, of a co ordination of effort that will eliminate Germany from the fighting in the air. a step which will give America and her allies an advantage which It is believed in many quarters will go far to shorten the duration of the war. It is estimated also that nearly 500 of the young men who entered the training camps for reserve officers will bo available for service as aviators. The army officers in charge of these camps, it is said, have kept a careful watch of the men to determine those best fitted for the work. The program of 1.000 aviators a month is just double that which was first taken under consideration by the Aircraft Production Board, and has been accepted in part as a result of the data furnished to the Federal au thorities by members of the visiting French. English and Italian commis sions. TO ORGANIZE CHAPTERS Two public meetings will be held on Friday night at 8 o'clock, one at Berrysburg and the other at Pil low. for the organization of auxiliary branches to the Harrisburg Chap ter of the Red Cross.

The bridges will be rebuilt by the county. not taste the same, the craving for it disappears and 10. one more drinker is saved and knows not when or why he lost the taste for drink. One woman who used this prescrip tion on her husband says: "It is going on the fourth week since he has touched a drop of anything in the form of liquor or used tobacco of any kind. He seems already like a dif ferent man. Tescum has gained a wonderful enthusiast in me. I regard it as a Godsend. Just think, I have never seen ir.y husband sober for more than 48 hours in years and now it is going on one month since he had his last drink." Another one gratefully writes: "I have used tescum powders on my hus band and And it one of the greatest cures in this world. He hasn't taken a drink for almost five weeks and says he never will. My home does not seem like the same place and life seems worth living. I hope thousands gain what I have. This has been a good new year for me without drink in my home." NOTE—Tescum, referred to above, should be used only when it is desir able to destroy all taste for alcoholic drinks of every kind. The wife who approves of drinking in moderation and believes her husband safe should give it only when she sees, as most do in time, that the danger line is near. Since this formula has been made public J. Nelson Clark and other druggists have filled it repeatedly.— Advertisement.

I When this is done they will be able ,to start the greatest movement of defense in Russian military history. But before this can be done, every man in the United States interested in Russian trade must know about Russia and the great difference be tween Socialism and anarchism. Rus sia is strongly Socialistic, but has no anarchist movement. "After peace is concluded, people will begin to build up the countries of Europe and in Russia, which is not as much developed commercially as other countries, the upbuilding will be especially strong. Russian trade was increasing before the war, and Russia could not get materials in other markets like she could in the United States, especially ma chinery and textiles. But she must have this material because of the development of natural resources. With this material coming in, it will be similar to the industrial develop ment here after the Civil War, and i this because foreign capital partici pated.

Dean William McClellan and Vice- Provost Josiah Penman last evening addressed the class. Dean McClel-l lan is a member of the National De- j fense Council, and spoke mainly j of the present war and its present I and future influence on the young; men of the nation. He congratulated the graduates,' on their efforts through three long! ' ears of study gained between work ing hours. He reminded them that they are graduates of the University of Pennsylvania with all that means; not merely as having finished three years of study as members of an ex tension school, but heir to all the honor and tradition the old Univer sity of Pennsylvania confers upon those who yearly receive her de grees. Dean McClellan spoke of the time when the present war would be end ed and the master minds of the bat tlefield would be needed in the cab inets of the nations. Men of educa tion and experience, such as those whom he was addressing, he said. | would be in demand for the great period of international reconstruc- j tion which inevitably must follow the j present world conflict. "As for three years, four nights a j week at least, you have prepared yourself for the present, so continue I to study that when emergencies con front you. you wil be able and ready | to meet them as you have met your; daily difficulties in these past years of hard work," Dean McClellan urg- ; ed upon the graduates as one of the ! means of preparing for the future of which he spoke. "Not only young men but men of maturer age and judgment such as many of you are will be needed," he said.
