10 TO LET CONTRACT FORCOALHAULING School Board Will Take Ac tion September 7; Approve Open Air School Plans Final action on the question of let ting a contract for hauling coal from the railroad yards to the various schoolbuildings probably will be taken at the meeting of the school board or. September 7. At a special session yesterday aft ernoon the directors discussed the reported attempts of a number of Harrlsburg dealers to force the board to pay at least *2 a ton to have the coal delivered. Secretary D. D. Hum elbaugh was authorized to get more definite Information from all dealers, and he is considering a plan to have the various men submit proposals in writing. During the discussion an anonymous letter to President George A. Werner was asked to explain what was the weight of the coal purchased from the dealers—2,ooo or 2.240 pounds per ten. President Warner explained the district coal supply Is bought di rect from the mines and the retailers have nothing to do with furnishing It except to haul it. Plans for the open-air school to be built at Fifth aOU Seneca streets were approved by the board and S. Howard Lloyd was paid $1,050 for the first part of his work. Bids will be opened September 21 and the erection of the building will be started as soon as possible. Requests Vill be made In the bidding for bids on four varieties of trimming.

The spectacular Rube rose to terrific heights during the days of 1911 and 1912. He began to skid badly around 1914 and 1916. He was then ; thought to bo on his way out. although still well under 30. But last season he reappeared from the mists, soon began to make win ning motions and point back toward the old days. This spurt was thought to be a mere flash—largely because the Rube was toiling with a pennant winning club. This season tells the true story. The Rube is working with a second | division line-up, one that has been in the rut most of the year. But he 'stands well up with the winners, with a pitching percentage as high as the Giants hold to-day. In place of being all through he should have many more seasons left, as to-day he is but 28, well short of the waning mark. GAINING AND HOLDING A high place in any sport is gained only by the hardest sort o£ work — rarely by any natural gift. Practice, practice and more practice usually tells the story. Norris Williams, unable to practice, found himself unable to regain his old place in the finals. A day or two ago we were talking about the erratic tendencies of a fine golfer. "The reason for this erratic work," remarked a friend, "is simple enough. He has quit practicing. He may have a 74 one afternoon and a few days later he may be lucky to get around in 85." It not only takes hard work to reach the top—it takes even harder work to hold it for any length of time. L. L. T.—Yes, Jackson and Collins are still below .300—and for the first time at this late date. THE OLD CONFIDENCE Ty Cobb has nny number of requisites for baseball success. No small part of the outlay is an abnormal confidence in his ability to keep on his way up. Last season Speaker led him all the year—and finished with a sub stantial margin. This season Speaker again led the Georgian for several weeks. But on the day, back in June, when Ty pased Tris for the first time by the margin of (a point he remarked to Harry Tuthill, the Tiger trainer: "This is the lust time Speaker will be ahead of me this year." And the margin of one point soon grew into 30 points, where it has remained for over two months. ANOTHER ANCIENT HERO FADES There was a time when Joe Grimm held all records for absorbing pun ishment. Night after night he resembled a sponge dipped in gore. But Joe Grimm is no longer king of the receiving tribe. The Crown Prince has gathered in poor Joe's faded laurels. Only the C. P. is, a number of kilometres out of range when the ensemble reaches its height FALSE RUMOR After watching moving pictures of British tanks in action, you can officially deny the old rumor that Ted Coy or Jim Thorpe hold the records, for line hitting power. Anv line the tank hits is the "line of least resistance. And the added thought occurs —what a wonderful fullback one of these would make.

TAKT. Point a Pic, Quebec, Aug. 30.—1 strongly commend President Wilson's attitude toward the Pope's peace pro posals. The present union of the democratic peoples of the world in a titanic struggle to dffeat German militarism is providential and affords an opportunity for the greatest step forward in Christian civilization taken in centuries. This opportunity and the enormous sacrifices the allies have made and are making to cut the cancer of mili tarism in the body politic of the world must not be wasted by a patched-u J. compromise peace with the Hohenzol lirn-Prussian military caste still in control of German's military and for eign policy. Such a peace would be a mere truce, to be ended when the Kaiser, the Crown Prince and Luden dcrff think it wise. All the world must continue arma ments after such a peace in mere self-defense; the world's blood and treasure spent as never before will have achieved nothing. , Our goal permanent peace. That is impossible until by force of arms we have estab lished international morality and the sacred character of every nation's obligations as a .basis for interna tional law. We do not seek to force democracy on the Germans by defeating their present lulers and the idea of German drbtiny to be won by forcible con quest. We shall show them the fu tility of the false philosophy with which they have been poisoned by tlfly years' teaching of Bismarck and the Kaiser and reveal to them the hideous futility of the sacrifices they have made to the Frankenstein of military autocracy. The survival of the monster will be fatal to the safety of democracy. Il must be destroyed because without real and lasting peace the peoples ■/ ho embrace democracy cannot secure its great benefits. The victory in the present war of the unprepared democ racies of the world over a military power developed to its highest effi ciency by half a century's discipline and application of the most scientific principles will make the German people see when the scales thus fall from their eyes, and not until then will the nations of the world be able to use their, power Jointly to secure world peace. Hence, let there be no ' peace without victory of righteous ness over wrong.

The results have been so beneficial -"•p in my own ease, I made up my mind to let my friends know about it, and you are at liberty to publish this .■ *\ .

There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor means anemia. Anemia means iron deficiency. The skin of anemic men and women Is pale; the flesh flabby; the muscles lack tone; the brain fags, and the memory fails, and often they become weak, nervous, despondent and mel ancholy. % If you wish to preserve your youth ful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the Iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron Nuxated Iron just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt." _ Former Health Commissioner Wm. R. Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says; "I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and experienced its health-giving and strength-building effects, and in the interest of public welfare I feel it my duty to make known the results of Its use. I atn well past my threescore years, and want to say that I believe my # own great physical activity Is largely due to-day to my personal use of Nuxated Iron. From my own ex perience with Nuxated Iron I feel it Is such a valuable remedy that it ought to b$ used in every hospital and pre scribed by every physician in this country." Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who has studied abroad In great Eu ropean medical Institutions, said: "Senator Mason Is right. As I have said a hundred times over, organic Iron Is the greatest of all strength builders.

SIMPLE HERBAL REMEDY BEST FOR BILIOUSNESS AND CONSTIPATION It's quite easy to move the consti pated bowels and obtain temporary relief by taking Calomel. Salts and other drastic purgatives. But at what cost? Habits are quickly formed which leave their victims worse oft than before. The habit of drinking plenty' o pure water is a good one, since the | lack of fluids in the body is one of the chief causes of constipation. "Drink more water." says authority, and take a few doses of a purely vegetable remedy like Lebanon Herb Tablets, if you wish to conquer con stipation. These little tablets act directly on the kidneys and liver, but do not cause purging, only a gentle movement of the bowels being apparent. Begin to night; you will feel one hundred per cent, better by the morning. Simply ask your druggist for a 25c box of Lebanon Herb Tablets and take to-night as directions advise. Thev are only sold on a guarantee of satis faction or money back. Geo. A.

The secret, he said, was taking or ganic iron—Nuxated Iron had filled him with renewed life. At thirty he was in bad health; at forty-six he was care-worn and nearly all In. Now at fifty, after taking Nuxated Iron, a miracle of vitality and his face beam ing with the buoyancy of youth. Iron Is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change your food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out o? It. and as a conse quence you become weak, pale and sickly looking, just like a plant try ing to grow in a soil deficient in Iron." Dr. Schuyler C, Jaques, Visiting SUrgeon of St. Elizabeth's. Hospital, New York City, said: "I have never before given out any medical Informa tion or advice for publication, as I ordinarily do not believe in it. But in the case of Nuxated Iron I feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention it. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish quickly to in crease their strength, power and en durance will find It a most remark able and wonderfully effective reme dy." NOTE—Nuxated Iron, which was used by Senator Mason with such surprising results and which Is pre scribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists, and whose Iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and America. Unlike the older Inor ganic Iron products it is easily as similated, does not Injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion as well as for nrvous.
