LEASES 300 ACRES OF
GROUND FOR PROVING GUNS
Trenton, N. J., Aug. 3.—William
E. Massev, of Ocean county, repre
senting the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, obtained from the State Board
of Shell Fisheries to-day a lease lor
300 acres of oyster lands in the tribu
taries of Great Egg Harbor river.
The company is establishing a prov
ing ground for big guns in the neigh
borhood and it was feared that if
oystermen were working on the
grounds It might be dangerous and
would interfere with the proving of
the guns.
The attorney general rendered an
opinion to the fisheries board that it
had the authority to make a lease to
the company. It is not the intention
of the company to cultivate the oys
ter beds, but If It is found to be a
legal requirement of the lease they
will cultivate the beds to keep within
the law.

Guardsman Who Takes
Place of Claster Also
Has Appendix Removed
A peculiar coincidence which 1* in
citing widespread comment among
the local Guardsmen at Mt. Oretna is
the seizure of Private Nelson Barber,
of this city, a member of Truck Com
pany No. 1, motor supply train with
appendicitis.
lie succeeded Joseph I. Claster, also
of this city, in the motor supply
train when he was stricken with ap
pendicitis several weeks ago. When
Private Barber enlisted he was given
Mi-. Claster's uniform and assigned
to his duties. Because appendicitis
is neither contagious nor infectious
the guardsmen place no connection
between tho two but think it odd the
men should have been stricken with
the same infliction.
Mr. Barber was operated on hero
to-day and is getting along good.
Mr. Claster is improving fast.
I Felt Bad All Over
Today Am Feeling Fine—
Sanpan Did It.
says Mrs. Mary Keefer, 1131 Monroe
street, Harrisburg. "X felt bad all
over for a long time. My stomacn
and intestines were sick and sore,
after eating was troubled with bloat
ing and pains in my stomach, had
pains in my back and limbs felt
drowsy and lifeless, just had no am
bition for anything.
"I was very nervous and irritable,
sometimes I felt all exhausted. I
tried a lot of stuff, but it was like
throwing good money after bad, did
me not a particle of good, and I was
disgusted with all medicine. Finally
a friend advised me to try Sanpan.
I got a bottle, and in a very short
time I beg&n to improve, and to-day,
I am feeling fine.
"My stomach is not sore and is
working perfectly, my nerves aro in
good shape, I sleep well, the pains
have left my back and limbs and I
attribute my good health to Sanpan.
It is one medicine that gives results
and I am glad that I tried it. It is
a wonderful medicine."
Sanpan is now being introduced at
Keller's Drug Store, 405 Market
street, Harrisburg, where the Sanpan
man is explaining it to the people.
