The habit of taking strong purga

iich drastic purges eventually prove
Murious and are only Justified In ex
reme cases owing to the tendency

ion. Your bowels should move at
past once every day without the use
f such artificial stimulants.
If sufferers would only take a few

SOME MYSTERY
IN RIVER CASE
Identity of Owner of Clothing
Found in Boat Near West
Shore Is Unknown
Wormleysburg, Pa., July 6. —The
owner of a set of man's clothing
found in a boat floating down the
west shore of the Susquehanna river
directly across from this borough
yesterday afternoon, has not called
for the clothing. It is believed the
occupant of the rowboat was drown
ed while in swimming.
The boat was found floating down
the river by Howard Huber, of this
place, who was working on the
river for McCreath Brothers. He
with several other workmen secured
a rowboat and followed the craft
down the river to the Cumberland
Valley railroad bridge where they
overtook it.
In the boat was found a hat, shirt,
trousers, $3.11 in money, a brass
check issued by the Central Iron
and Steel Company to its workmen,
No. 236, and a boat check with the
name of John Pall.
According to a story of Huber
this morning, he saw a man undress
ing in the boat. He later saw him
jump in the river and from his ac
tions he "Judged he was not a very
good swimmer. His attention was
taken to his work and when he look
ed again the man had disappeared
and the boat was floating some dis
tance down the river.
A. P. Dintaman said thii morning
that the man hired the boat at
11.30 o'clock and was to have re
turned It at 1.80 o'clock. Huber saw
the man about 1.15 o'clock.
The city directory- does not con
tain the name of John Pall and of
ficials of the Central Iron and Steel
Company say the holder of check
236 Is William Shearer, Front street,
Harrisburg, and that he waa work
ing to-day.
