Holds Meeting Remark
able For Fervor
Ellzabetlitown, June ll.—Among
the remarkable religious services
held at the Masonic Homes, and I
there have been many, that of last
Sunday must be classed among the
most remarkable.
Jane 10 was the date selected by
Lodge No. 43, of Lancaster, to make
their annual pilgrimage to this I
shrine of Pennsylvania Masonry for
the purpose of furnishing the re
ligious services, and being accom
panied by their families and the
friends to the number of one hun
dred and ten, fulfilled their purpose.
When the time arrived for the
service to begin, an audience which
exceeded the capacity of the spa
cious assembly room and overflow
ed Into the lobbies and adjoining re
ception room to the number of three
hundred and ninety had assembled.
Superintendent X. Franklin Heck,
ler expressed the pleasure It gave
him, in behalf of the committee on
Masonic Homes, to welcome the
members of Lodge No. 43, with their
families and friends to the homes.
Mr. Heckler then introduced Mar
tin W. Wltmer, worshipful master of
Lodge No. 43, who eloquently ad
dressed the assemblage.
He then directed the services,
which were conducted by tho Rev.
CATARRH IS
DANGEROUS
You Must Stamp
It Out
Realize that Catarrh is dan
gerous. Face the truth square
ly that it can cause death—but
you can be relieved.
See what Mrs. Henry Waye,
R. F. D. No. 1, Wentzville, Mo.,
says about how she was reliev
ed of Catarrh through the use
of S. S. S.
"I am glad to ay that I
have never needed to take
any more medicine, as I have
never had any return of the
Catarrh, thanks to 6. 8. 6. I
highly recommend it."
It is an undoubted fact that
the careless way in which so
many sufferers from Catarrh
regard this troublesome disease
in its early stages is a promi
nent reason for its awful rav
ages. If they would take hold
of it when it is nothing more
than a supposed cold in the
head, permanent and lasting re
lief would be a simple matter.
You must treat Catarrh ser
iously, Catarrh is not merely
an inflammation of the tissues
of the head and throat as the
symptoms of ringing noises in
the ears, mucous dropping back
into the throat, continual hawk
ing, etc., would seem to indicate.
It is a blood disease; it affects
the entire circulation.
Catarrh is due to the pres
ence of Catarrh Germs in the
blood. The liver, kidneys and
bowels frequently become tor
pid and dull in their action and.
instead of carrying off the re
fuse and waste of the body,
leave it to ferment in the sys
tem. This is taken up by the
blood and, through its circu
lation, distributed to all parts of

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
W. Stuart Cramer, pastor of th®
First Reformed Church of Lancas
ter, and a member of Lodge No. 48.
The Rev. Mr. Cramer delivered
an able, eloquent and Inspiring ser
mon on the subject of "Love, the
Greatest Thing in the World." in
I which he studied the underlying
principles governing the nations
engaged In the existing world's war,
and presented In contrast the bene
fits and happiness to the world at
large to be derived by democracy
rather than aristocracy. The United
States being in this war because of
Its love of Liberty, Justice and
Equality, and Its conviction that
I lasting peace, prosperity and happl
! ness of the civilized nations depends
upon a victory for democracy.
The musical features of the serv
ice In addition to congregational
singing consisted of a piano solo,

and the singing of "Amrelca."
Flora at the Homes
The heme grounds have put on
their summer garb and everywhere
the visitor Is greeted with Flora's
smile and beauty.
The great snow white masses of
splreas have faded away and the
lovely lilacs have kept them com
pany, but the thousands of Iris,
which have mado the lake park a
thing of beauty, are still blooming.
The brilliant rhododendrons are now
in full bloom, as are also the geran
iums and pansles which fill the
parterres of Grand Lodge hall with
color and beauty. The yellow heath
er, which Is abundant on the slope
facing Grand Lodge hall, has been
and still Is a pleasing sight, admired
by oil.

the system. These impurities
in the blood irritate and inflame
the different membranes and
tissues of the body and start the
secretions and other disagree
able symptoms of Catarrh. The
head has a tight full feeling,
nose continually stopped up,
pains above the eyes, slight
fever comes and goes, the stom
ach is upset and the entire sys
tem disordered and affected by
this disease.
It is a waste of time to try
to relieve Catarrh with sprays,
inhalations, etc., alone. To per
manently relieve Catarrh, the
blood must be thoroughly puri
fied and the system cleansed of
all poisons, and at the same time
strengthened and built up.
Nothing equals S. S. S. for
this purpose. It attacks the
disease at its head, goes down
to the very bottom of the trou
ble and gives relief. S. S. S. re
moves the Catarrhal poison
from the blood, making this
vital stream pure, fresh and
healthy. Then the inflamed
membranes begin to heal, the
head is loosened and cleared,
the hawing ceases, other symp
toms disappear, the constitution
is built up and health restored.
S. S. S. also tones up the stom
ach and digestion, and acts as a
fine tonic to the general nervous
svstem.
If you are suffering with
Catarrh, begin the use of S. S. S.
AND WRITE us a statement
about your case and our phy
sicians will send you literature
about Catarrh, and give you
special medical advice without
charge.

THIRD-CLASS CITY
BILL IS PASSED
Police Civil Service Goes to
Governor; House Holds Pro
longed Sessions
Senator Crair's bill providing civil
service for police forces of third-class
cities ivas passed in the House by 122
to 32, after a debate between mem
bers from third-class cities late yes
terday afternoon.
Mr. Ramsey, Delaware, said ths
third-class cities wanted to be let
alone and that many members did
not believe in the practical side of
civil service. Mr. Aron, Philadel
phia. moved to drop the bill from the
calendar, but did not press the mo
tion. Mr. Wallace, Lawrence, and
Mr. Home, Cambria, urged the bill
as affording a needed feature in the
smaller cities and Mr. Black, Dau
phin, read a report of a survey of
Harrisburg's police force which rec
ommenced civil service. Mr. Sarig,
Berks, said Reading policemen favor
ed the bill.
The bill to enable second class
townships to share in the distribu
tion for firemen's relief associations
of tax on premiums from foreign Are
insurance companies was passed with
U® COltt naent,
The Senate bill >vas also passed at
the afternoon session. The bill
changes the periods of storage and
was attacked by Mr. Glass, Philadel
phia, who oa.d that this was not a
good time to change the cold stor
age law, and Mr. Walter. Franklin,
charged that the bill would remove
the requirement for labeling cold
storage food. Messrs. Stites, Mont
gomery; Stern. Philadelphia; Camp
bell, Butler, and Heyburn, Dela
ware, supported the bill. Mr.
Campbell says cold storage is a
blessing as It cares for the excess
production, and Mr. Heyburn said
the bill would make Pennsylvania
uniform with other states.
The House also passed the bill
amending the women's emplovment
law so that the State Industrial
Board may have authority to extend
hours for waitresses In summer ho
tels to fifty-four hours a week.
The Stadtlander bill giving right
to recommend candidates for regis
trars in first and second-class cities
to political committees was also
passed.
Members Clash ,
The Stern bill forbidding dissemi
nation of information relative to
birth control was passed in the
House. 188 to 3, at the night session,
after it had been termed "the chief
literary freak" of the session by Mr.
Maurer, Berks, the Socialist mem
ber. Mr. Maurer said that the bill
would arouse great interest among
folks who are not now paying any
attention to the subject. Mr. Stern
defended his bill and said that he
considered Mr. Maurer's criticism a
compliment because it came from
a "physical freak."
Messrs. Simpson, Allegheny, and
Davis. Cambria, quoted from the
scriptures in support of the bill.
The bill requiring all employers to
give their men two hours In which
to vote was passed by 152 to 18.
Mr. Flynn, Elk, said members should
vote for it out of compliment to Mr.
Rlnn, Lehigh, who presented the bill
and who, Mr. Flynn said, has not
taken up much time.
The House passed the Ruddy bill
to allow compensation after seven
days of idleness due to injury and
that permitting employes of school
districts to serve as election officers.
No Special Orders
The Hous refused to make the
Senate bill to suspend the full crew
law during the war a special order.
Mr. Flynn. Elk, made the motion but
was opposed by Messrs. Maurer.
Berks, and Black, Dauphin, who said
that the House had refused to make
a special order for the compensation
amendments. Mr. Cox said the House
had been absolutely fair in regard
to special orders and should not
change.
Speaker Baldwin named a com
mittee to represent the House at the
Valley Forge exercises on June 19,
as follows: Messrs. Gransback, Wil
liam Davis, Flynn, Whitaker, Gra
ham, Hollingsworth and Benninger.
The Smith bill proposing the "pro
hibition amendment" to the Consti
tution was affirmatively reported to
the House by the committee on con
stitutional reform Just before the
adjournment at 10 p. m. Mr. Stof
flet, Northampton, reported the bill.

PAXTANG PARK THIS WEEK.
Few vaudeville shows are as warm- |
ly appreciated by an audience as the
one playing the Paxtang Park Thea
ter this week. Every act on the park
bill can safely be called a hit, if the
approval of the audiences are any cri
terion. Miss Lenora Simonson, with
her wonderful soprano voic*. presents
a number of classy songs that never
fail to bring vigorous rounds of ap
plause from the music lovers. Conrad
and Daniels, xvivh piano and violin,
follow the headliner with a musical
offering that comes pretty near to
making the park show a classical con
cert.
Ben Smith, the lyric tenor, puts a
lot of real comedy talk in between his j
songs, and it is hard to tell which the i
audience likes best, the comedy or i
Mr. Smith's ballads.' Booth and Lean- i
der, the comedy cyclists, get their I
share of the laughs and furnish a few i
thrills with their daring feats on the '
wheel. Johnny Reynolds is a real *
sensation when he performs difficult 1
balancing stunts on the top of six
tables and as many chairs.

BUCKWHEAT IS
MUCH NEEDED
Pennsylvania Farmers Urged
to Plant Big Crop This
Year
Farmers of Pennsylvania are urged
to plant buckwheat as a means of
increasing the food supply of the
State and of utilizing fields which can
be sown late in June, in a bulletin
just Issued by the State Department
of Agriculture. The bulletin also calls
attention to the great Importance of
undordraining farmland now so that
It can be productive of a maximum
yield. Undcrdrainage, it is declared,
will pay for itself.
In regard to buckwheat, It Is point
ed out that Pennsylvania is the lead
ing state in its production and that
its soil seems to be peculiarly adapted
to It. "The crop can be produced In
from seventy to eighty days and in
many places in less time, so that when
buckwheat Is sown In the latter part
of the State, or in the southeastern
part of the State, the beginning of
July, It will be ready to harvest the
middle of September and the land can
be seeded with rye or wheat," says
the bulletin. "Land that has not been
farmed for some years and newly
cleared land and land that has grown
up with weeds. If plowed now and
cultivated, wllwl produce an average
crop If fertilizer Is employed. At the
samo time It will clean up the weeds.
No better crop for exterminating
weeds can be sown.
PRIVILEGE* NOT REQUIREMENT
Some confusion has arisen relative
to the privilege granted to subscribers
for one SSO bond or one SIOO bond
to pay the full amount at once, with
the assurance of an Immediate allot
ment in full and delivery of an In
terim certificate a* the earliest possi
ble moment.
It should be clearly understood that
this is a privilege and not a require
ment. The subscriber for one SSO
bond or one SIOO bond may avail
himself of this privilege of full pay
ment. or he may pay 2 per cent upon
application and the balance as pro
vided for other bonds; that Is, 18 per
cent on June 28, 20 per cent on July
30, 30 per cent on August 16, and 30
per cent on August 30.
The subscriber, therefore, for a SSO
bond or a SIOO bond has the assured
certainty of obtaining a bond either
by the cash payment In full or the
payment In the stated Instalment.
Subscribers for larger amounts will
have to await the allotment when all
the subscriptions are in and may not
obtain the full amount of bonds sub
scribed for.

A Free Prescription You Can Have
Filled and Use at Home
New York.—Dr. Beck, a New York
State eye specialist, and Dr. Judkins,
a Massachusetts physician, were ask
ed to make a thorough test of the
popular eye remedy, Bon Opto. Their
reports were most interesting. Here
they are:
Dr. Beck reports. "When my atten
tion was first called to the wonderful
eye remedy. Bon Opto, I was inclined
to be skeptical. I make It a rule to
test every new treatment which is
brought to my attention. Having
specialized In eye work for the past
twenty years. I believe I am qualified
to express an Intelligent opinion on
remedies applicable to the eyes. Since
Bon Opto has created such a sensa
tion throughout the United States and
Canada, I welcomed the opportunity
to test It. I began to use It in my
practice a little over a year ago and
I am frank to say that the results ob
tained are such that I hesitate to tell
of mv experience for fear it will sound
Incredible. Some of the results I have
accomplished with Bon Opto not only
astonished myself but also other phy
sicians with whom I have talked
about it. I have had many Individuals
who had worn glasses for years for
far-sightedness, near-sightedness, as
tigmatism and other eye weaknesses,
tell me they have dispensed with them
through the adoption of the Bon Opto
principal. Many eye troubles can be
traced directly to muscular contrac
tion and relaxation and since Bon
Opto method tells how to exercise and
develop the eye muscles, It reaches
conditions not possible through other
means. I advise every thoughtful
physician to study Bon Opto principal,
give it the saoie careful trial I have
end there Is no doubt In my mind they
will come to the conclusion I have,
namely, that the Bon Opto method
opens the door for the cure of many
eye troubles which nave heretofore
been impossible to 4ope with. The
treatment is so simple in its applica
tion that It can be used at home by
anyone of average Intelligence. In
my own practice I have seen It
strengthen the eyesight more than 50

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair
V
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tle, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and % moves every particle of dust,
dirt, uandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves It'fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months.—Advertisement.
also used it with surprising: effect in

Inflamed lids, catarrhal conjunctivities,
smarting, painful, aching, itching
eyes, eyes weakened from colds,
sinoke, sun, dust and wind, watery
eyes, blurred vision, and in fact many
other conditions too numerous to de
scribe in this report. A new and
startling case has just come under my
observation, which yielded to Bon
Opto, is that of a young girl, 12 years
old. Two prominent eye specialists,
after a thorough examination of the
young girl, decided in order to save
the sight of her right eye, the left
eye must be removed. Before permit
ting her (o be operated on, the young
girl's father decided to use Bon Opto.
In less than three days a marked im
provement was noticed At the end
of a week the inflammation had al
most disappeared, and at the end of
six weeks the eye was saved. Just
think what the saving of that eye
means to this little girl. Another case
is that of a lady ninety-three years
old. She came to me with dull vision
and extreme Inflammation of the lids
and the conjunctiva was almost raw.
After two weeks' use of Bon Opto the
lids were absolutely normal and her
eves are as bright as many a girl of
sixteen."
Or. Judklns, Massachusetts physi
cian, formerly Chief of Clinics in the
I'nion General Hospital. Boston, Mass.,
and formerly House Surgeon at the
New England Eye and Ear Infirmary
of Portland. Maine, and medical author
for many years, reports:
"I have found oculists too prone to
operate and opticians too willing to
prescribe glasses while neglecting the
simple formulas which form the basis
of that wonderful home treatment for
eye troubles. Bon Opto. This, in my
opinion, is a remarkable remedy for
the cure and prevention of many eye
disorders. Its success In developing
and strengthening the eyesight will
soon make eye glasses old fashioned
and the form of eye baths which the
Bon Opto method provides, will make
its use as common as that of the tooth
brush. I am thoroughly convinced
from my experience with Bon Opto
that it will strengthen the eyesight
at least 50 per cent, in one week's
time In many Instances. Dr. W. H.
Devine, director of medical Inspection
in the Boston school*, in his report
published February 20, 1917, states
that only 14.01# out of 89.175 exam
ined. need to wear glasses now, a
marked decrease over the previous re
port. Bon Opto is hastening the eye
glasses sge in bespectacled Boston.
Victims of eye strain and other
eve weaknesses and those who wear
glanses will be glad to know that ac
cording to Dr. Beck and Dr. Judklns,
there is real hope ahd help for them.
Many whose eyes were falling say
they have had their eyes restored by
this remarkable prescription and
many who once wore glasses say they
have "thrown them away." One man
says, after using it: "I was almost
blind. Could not see to read at all.
Now I can read everything without
my glasses and my eyes do not hurt
any more. At night they would pain
dreadfully. Now tl|ey feel fine all the
time. It was like la miracle to me."
A lady who used it says: "The atmos
phere seemed hazy with or without
glasses but after using this prescrip
tion for IB days everything seems
clear. I can read even fine print with
out glasses." Another who used It
says: 'I was bothered with eye strain
caused by overworked, tired eyes

which Induced fierce headache*. I
have worn glasses for several years,
both for distance and close work and
without them I could not read my own
name on an envelope or the typewrit
ing on the machine before me.f X can
do both now and have discarded my
long distance glasses altogether. I
can count the fluttering leaves on the
trees across the street now. which for
several years have looked like a dim
green blur to me. I cannot express
my joy at what it has done for me."
"It is believed that thousands who
wear glasses can now discard them In
a reasonable time and multitudes
more will be able to strengthen thein
eyes so as to be spared trie troubla
and expense of ever getting glasses.
Eye troubles of many descriptions
may be wonderfully benefited by the
use of this prescription at home. Here
is the prescription: Go to any active
drug store and get a bottle of Bon
Opto tablets Drop one Bon Opto tab
let in a fourth of a glass of water
and let It dissolve. With this liquid
bathe the eyes two to four times
dally. You should notice your eyes
clear up perceptibly right from the
start and inflammation and redness
will quickly disappear. If your eyes
bother you even a little, it is your
dutv to take steps to save them now
before it is too late. Many hopelessly
blind might have saved their sight If
they had cared for their eyes in time.
NOTE Another prominent physfj
cian to whom the above article was
submitted, said: "Yes, the Bon Opto
prescription is truly a wonderful eye
remedy. Its constituent ingredients
are well known to eminent eye spec
ialists and widely prescribed by them.
I have used it very successfully In my
own practice on patients whose eyes
were strained through overwork or
misfit glasses. It Is one of the very
few preparations I feel should be kept
on hand for regular use in almost
every family." Bon Opto referred to
above, is not a patent medicine op a
secret remedy. It is an ethical prepa
ration, the formula being printed on
the package. The manufacturers
guarantee It to strengthen eyesight
50 per cent, in one week's time In
many Instances or refund the money.
It Is dispensed by all good druggists
in this city, Including H. C. Kennedy.
