Scores of Ships Believed
to Have Been Sunk by
U-Boats 'Without Trace'
Ldndon, Sept. 18. The Daily Mail
is a'uthority for a statement that
Lloyds is preparing an exhaustive in
quiry into the loss of vessels posted
'missing," which are not inclunded
in the weekly admiralty report. The
Daily Mail says that some times a
half dozen or more missing vessels are
posted a day. The Daily Mail says:
"The reason for the increase is not
difficult to discover in view of the
'sink without trace' cipher message
o£ the German Minister to Argentine.
* * * Many steamers which have
been posted this year as missing rep
resented over 250,000 pounds each."
Eleven Men Drown as
U-Boat Sinks Vessel

street bridge, and was lined $5.00.
Failure to Collect Ashes
Cause of Many Complaints
Complaints are being received al
ready by city officials because of the
failure of the Pennsylvania Reduction
Company to make collection of ashes.
In some of the districts tho ashes
have accumulated for weeks. The
company in reply to inquiry by the
city said it was almost impossible' to
get enough men to use for the col
lections because of the big prices
ing paid at the aviation plant being
built at Middletown. Efforts will be
made during the next week to employ
enough men and start regular col
lections.

CALLS ON WIFE,
GETS HER EFFECTS
Husband Fined $25 For Dis
orderly Practice When He
Takes Her Belongings
Paul Hunter, cofored, may consid
er himself reasonably lucky to-day,
although he paid a fine of $25 when
he appeared before Alderman Lan
dis In police court yesterday.
Hunter, who is employed by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company as
cook at Bellwood, camo to Harrls
burg because his wife lived here. But
evidently the atmosphere of his
boardinghouse did not agree with
the cook, for at a late "hour Satur
day night he packed his effects, and
according to his wife's story, gather
ed up all of her effects and prepared
to leave for parts unknown, leaving
wifie behind.
Mrs. Hunter thought differently
about the matter, and appealed to an
officer, who encountered Hunter as
he was leaving with a grip belonging
to his wife. The officer tried to halt
the man, but Hunter ducked into an
alley. When secured a valuable re
volver was found in the bag. The
man carried shells for the weapon
in his hand.
Hunter was represented by an at
torney who protested that a man
couldn't be held for carrying con
cealed weapons in a handbag. After
considerable cogitation, Judge Lan
dis imposed a fine of $25 for dis
orderly practice. Hunter's lawyer
then attempted to persuade police
court that by imposing a fine of $lO
his client could raise the required
sum, the family would be happily re
united, and the wife would not be
left to shift for herself. The alder
man seemed visibly touched and
prospects of a $lO line looked good
for a time, but as the minutes sped
by and the argument continued with
out intermission, these pleasant pros
pfects faded as snow fades before an
April sun.
Hunter decided not lo go to jail,
after all, but arranged to pay the
$2.5 fine.
To Relieve Catarrhal
Deafness and Head
Noises
If you have Catarrhal Deafness or
head "noises go to your druggist and
get 1 ounce of Parmint (double
strength), and add to it >/* pint of hot
water and 4 ounces of granulated
sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful four
times a day.
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head noises.
Clogged nostrils should open, breath
ififj; become easy and the mucus stop
dropping into the throat. It is easy
to prepare, costs little and is pleas
ant to take. Any one who has Ca
tarrhal Deafness or head noises should
give this prescription a trial.—Adver

System Was Badly Run Down and
Stomach Nagged
Him
. NOW FEELS TIP-TOP
"Although for the past eight years
I have been suffering terribly from
my nerves and indigestion, my health
has at last returned to me," said C.
I. McClain, of 69 Lincoln Way West,
Chambersburg, a conductor for the
Cumberland Valley Railroad.
"Yes, my nerves and stomach are
coming back to where I want theni,"
Mr. McClain continued. "It wasn't
so long £go that I thought I would
have to suffer from indigestion as
long as I lived. Stomach trouble
just kept nagging at me right and
left. Every meal meant distress
afterward and the gas that formed
in my stomach from fermenting food
was very painful.
"My wife used to cook special food
for me in the hope of relieving my
condition, but It did no good. 1 had
been reading a good deal about
Tanlac and finally decided to see if
the claims made for It were true.
"You can tell the world that I am
convinced. Ever since I took that
first bottle I have been getting bet
ter. Now the indigestion has dis
appeared. My nerves are quiet, hut I
really feel iike living. I can eat what
I please without the distressing after
effects. I gladly give Tanlac my en
dorsement."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here
by Gorgas' Drug .Store, who have
secured the exclusive sale of this
master medicine in Harrisburg.
