Red, ALL MY PAINS AND ACHES ARE GONE says Mrs. Carrie Ringgold, 1196 Christian street, Harrisburg. I have been a martyr for a long spell, suf fered with nervousness, would just lay and twist and twitch all night long, and when morning came I was just as tired and weary as on retir ing the night before. I was quite irritable, worried and fretted all the time about every thing. My stomach, as is the way with nervous cases, went back on me, and after eating would bloat and have pains in my stomach, It was a sharp gripping crampy pain. I had, pains in my back and had aches in my arms and shoulders, in fact, all over. I had been taking things right along, but found no relief. The Mis ter had been taking Sanpan with wonderful results and he persuaded me to try some of his, and the first few doses seemed to help some, so I got some for myself and took it regularly and it chased out my aches and pains, my nervousness, my stom ach trouble and everything in short order. I want you to publish this so that other sufferers may derive the help I received. Sanpan is being explained daily at Keller's Drug Store, 405 Market street, Harrisburg, by the Sanpan man.—Adv.

WITH LEMONS;; < > <> At the cost of a small jar of ordi nary cold cream one can prepare a full quarter pint of the most wonder ful lemon skin softener and com plexion beautifler by squeezing the Juice of two fresh lemons into a bot tle containing three ounces of or chard white. Care should be taken to strain the Juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon Juice is used to bleach and re move such blemishes as sallowness, freckles and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifler. Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage tt daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It naturally should help to soften, freshen, bleach and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It is wonderful to smoothen rough, red hands.

Young, a week ago Friday night. A Marysville car was taken at Mar ket square about 6.45 o'clock for Pine's Corners, from which point the Scouts hiked to the location of the rifle range near Conodogulnet creek, where they camped for the night. Large fires started by mem bers of the Rifle Club Association were utilized for making their supper and during the evening they were piled high with wood and brush which kept them burning all night. Bathing and swimming in the week were enjoyed in the morning and af ter breakfast the troop returned to Harrisburg. Those who accompanied their Scoutmaster on the trip were David Yowler, Raymond Moore, Marlin Dice, Isadore Hollon, Franklin Hope, Herbert Hason, Raymond Mohn and Stanley Hoamer.

Some brilliant vaudeville attrac tions are booked for the Majestic Theater for the coming At the season, which opens Majeatlc Monday of next week. These productions will not only be new to local theatergoers, but they will be brought here at far greater expense than other big acts presented at the above named thea ter heretofore. The headliner on the opening bill of the season is a pretentious musical comedy offering with fourteen people, entitled "Who's to Blame?" a musical show new to Harrisburg, and one that it certain to meet with popular approval. Grouped around this head liner are four other meritorlus acts. A new star is offered patrons of the Colonial to-day in the appear ance of Metro's beauti- Mnry Miles ful litlte actress, Mary Mintcr in Miles Minter In "Some "Soiuewhere where In America," a in America" play of to-day. The patriotic appeal is gen eral. It tells a convincing story and shows that when the test comes the American man or woman will not be found shirking. The Brooklyn Navy Yard, the scene where many of our greatest seaflghters were constructed, is pictured in this wonderplay. Thomas J. Carrigan heads the list of supporting artists. The added fea tures include a Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Drew comedy and Pathe News. To morrow only Triangle presents the biggest feature that Dorothy Dalton has ever screened, "The Flame of the Yukon." Miss Dalton will be seen in the role of a dancer who rules the Cafe Midas, which is in Alaska and caters to miners and prospectors. Don't wait until It is too late to see Arthur West and his clever associ ates In the new musical The Bill comedy, "An Heir For nt I'nxtnng a Night,' at the Pax tag Park Theater this week. This offering is one of the snapiest, brightest of comedies, and has the niftiest bunch of girls in the cast that Harrlsburg has seen In a long while. Other act* on the park bill are Jack Polk, a clever monologlst, with a brand new line of funny stories, and Mons. Herbert, in a pleasing musical novelty. REVOLT VETERANS MEET By Associated Press Petrograd, Aug. 17.

Vera Zassu lich. The speakers called on the au dience to defend the fatherland against the foreign tyrant and were greeted with ine greatest en thusiasm. SCOUT UNIFORM IS PROTECTED Army Reorganization Law Recognizes Roy Scouts of America The streets are full of uniforms these days, and It is sometimes hard to tell whether the soldier-like chap approaching is a<boy belonging to the Boy Scouts of America or a militia man. Especially is this true if the militiaman is small and the Bdy Scout is large. Yet the boys of the Boy Scouts of America have the right to their uniform, and the fact of its similarity to the one worn by the army men has been recognized by Congress. | The uniform of the Boy Scouts of America is protected by Section 125 of the Army Reorganization Law passed by Congress and approved June 3, 1916. That section is, in part as follows: It shall be unlawful for any per son not an officer or enlisted man of the United States Army, Navy or Marine Corps, to wear the dulv pre scribed uniform of the United States Army, Navy, or Marine Corps, r any distinctive part of such unt ■TP 1 : or a uniform any part of which is similar to a distinctive p ? r :,_ 0 ' i. he du 'y prescribed uniform the United States Army, Navy, or Marine Corps; Provided, that the foregoing provision shall not be construed so as to prevent officers or enlisted men of the National Guard from wearing In pursuance of law and regulations, the uniform lawfully prescribed to be worn by officers or enlisted men of the National Guard; nor to prevent ?L ei VJ? er ?* 0 * or tfanlzatlon known x} e America, or the Naval Militia, or such other or ganizations as the Secretarv of SSL designate, from wearing their uniforms.' The boys of the Boy Scouts of America have piled up a long list of deeds of service to Uncle Sam, will ingly performed, and In recognition of this Congress granted the Boy Scouts of America a Federal charter and in the Army Reorganization Law gave them the right to their uniform. It is In the wearing of the uniform and doing of things together, as scouts, that they absorb the force and truth of the scout law which states: A scout is a friend of all, and a brother to every other scout." The movement stands for patriot ism, the patriotism that causes the boy to love his country, and, instead of boasting about it, serve it bv beine a good citizen. Gentlemen of Harrisburg!

Washington. August 4, 1917. My dear Mr. West: In reply to your letter of the 13th of July, I do not hesitate to say that I think one of the great est services the boys of America can render to their country at this time Is to return to school In the fall and pursue their courses with greater application, if possible, than they have ever done before. This is necessary if they are to prepare themselves In the highest degree for the great responsibili ties of American citizenship which will devolve upon them in the near future. The boys of to-day must be the guiding force of the nation in the regular order of things, and they must not permit the excite ment of the war to heflect them from the paramount duty of se curing the best possible education to fit them for the great tasks ahead of them. While they are doing this, those who are. or who become, members of the Boy Scout organization will find time to tender splendid service to their country along lines which only the boys of America can work. Let me say that the kind of work that the Boy Scouts of America have done and are doing is an essential part of war serv ice, and is of immeasurable value to the country. With best wishes, I am. Cordially yours, (Signed) W. G. McADOO. James E. West, Esq., Boy Scouts of America, Fifth Avenue Bldg., New York City. * Interesting Meeting of Troop 12 Scouts Troop 12, of Memorial Lutheran Church, held an interesting meeting last evening in the scout rooms of the church. Parents and visitors were Invited to see the boys go through their stunts and a large number turned out to greet the boys. • Scout Executive J. H. Stlne opened the program with a short talk on the history of the Boy Scout movement. This was followed by a musical num ber and then the boys gave a con cise but very interesting demonstra tion of the fundamentals of scouting. Those who attended fully enjoyed tho entire evening's program and went away with a better understand ing of what scouting really is. TROOPS ON VACATION The following troops are now taking a short vacation from scout meetings preparatory to getting an early and active start in September: 4, 7, 8, 10, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19. Wm. Strouse & Co. AUGUST 17. 1917. Rotary Clubs Boost Boy Scout Movement The Rotary Clubs in many cities have taken a lively interest In the Boy Scouts of America, following the rec ommendation of the last international convention at Atlanta. The Boy Scouts find a keen ally in this organi zation. In many places the Rotary Club has taken up a relationship that almost puts the Scouts in tho position of being Junior Rotarians or the Ro tarians of being Senior Scouts. Both organizations have "service" for their watchword. One of the latest instances of the kind is told in a letter from one of the Boy Scout National Field Commis sioners. It says in part: "You will be interested to know that I hit one of the highest marks in my Rotary experience yesterdav when after making my address at the Ro tary luncheon, they a motion unanimously, with every man stand ing, to furnish the entire budget of SIO,OOO the membership of the club and $5,100 was actually pledged by fifty-eight members present before they left tho room. "The enthusiasm and action at the luncheon was one of those momentary cyclones that swept the men off their feet and which was as much a sur prise to them as it was to me." Troop 11 Boys to Go to Camp Near Carlisle The Boy Scouts of Market Square Church, Troop 11, are keenly await ing the time to start for their annual camp. They leave in a body early to-morrow and will go via the Read ing railway to Craig Head; about four miles from Carlisle. Scoutmas ter Ed Manser has had a big job on his hands getting sufficient tentage and cots for the nearly fifty boys who have signed up for the two weeks, but is now prepared to han dle the whole bunch in a highly ef ficient manner. Special care has been taken in the organization of the commissary department, which is to be under the general direction f Chef Favlnger, who recently served at Camp Harris. The boys at a recent meeting voted to name the camp this year "Camp Stine" in honor of the new scout executive. They expect .to have a lot of news for the other troops when they re turn home. LOSE SCOUTMASTER Troop 14, of the Zlon Lutheran church has recently lost Its popular Scoutmaster, Wm. Breitinger, who was forced to resign because of the unusual demands made upon him in his business. The troop hopes, however, to be able to go ahead with scout work and soon to obtain an other Scoutmaser. W. Frank Wit man, chairman of the troop com mittee is temporairly in charge of troop activities. Scouts of Troop 13 Return From Camp Troop 13, John German, scout master, has returned from a splendid camp on the Juntata river. The boys all had a fine timo and are ready for a big program of winter activities at the Boyd Memorial. Meetings of the troop will he held on Tuesday even ings and it in hoped that many of the Scouts will qualify for first class examinations before the first of the year. While at camp the boys helped to build the new lodge, of which the troop is very proud. Practically all of the shingling was done by the boys. "SUCH ABIG CHANGE" SAYS MRS. ZIEGLER Used To Fool So Tired niul Miserable Rut She's Bright niul 'Happy Now TAN Li AC THE REVIVIFIER "Words cannot tell you how hi*p py I am over the return of my health and energy," cries Mrs. S. Ziegler, of 539 Rockland street, Lan caster, Pa., whose happy smile con firms her words of praise for Tan lac, the master medicine. "I was a sufferer from nervous in digestion for over a year and all that time everything I ate caused me pain. Even eo'.d water would dis tress me and when 1 did force a llt lo food down, such quantities of gas would form that I would have a heavy feeling in my stomach and I would have pains in my back and around my heart, that were so bad sometimes I thought I would die. "I had awful headaches, too, and 1 was so nervous. 1 couldn't sleep or rest and would get up feeling so tired and without any energy or ambition. "Finally I started taking Taniac and It gave me almost Immediate relief and now I have so improved that I can eat anything with a rel ish and never suffer a bit afterwards. I sleep soundly every night and wake up fresh and rested and I haven't had a sign of a headache In weeks." Taniac the famous reconstructive tonic, is now being introduced here at Gorgas' Drug Store where the Taniac man is meeting the people and explaininlg the merits of this master medicine.
