WAS IN MISERY
ALL THE TIME
Was Just Worn Oui
"I have been ailing since last
spring with stomach trouble and
nervousness," says Florence Wil
liams. 1019 South 9th St., Harris
burg. "What I could eat did me no
good, in fact was the source of a lot
of pain and misery.
"My nerves tortured me, I would
get so nervous by spells that I would
jump and twitch at every thing, I
seemed to be expecting something to
happen.
"I was in misery, had no strength,
was simply worn out.
"I could not sleep at night and In
the morning would feel tired and
sluggish.
"My throat and head were always
clogged up, would catch cold easily.
I started to take Sanpan, and in jig
time I began to improve, at present
my stomach and nerves are well, 1
feel strong, rest well, head and throat
are clear, in fact feel entirely new."
Sanpan is being personally intro
duced at Keller's Drug Store, 405
Market street, Harrisburg, where the
Sanpan man is meeting the people.

on the Russian model and to paralyze the fleet so as to force gov

and received their just deserts, the minister added.
Admiral Von Capelle attempted to link the radical Socialists
with the plot. He said the ring leader had discussed the plot
with Deputies ftaase and Vogtherr in the radical Socialist con
ference room in the Reichstag building. The deputies had called
attention to the dangerous nature of the plot and had advised the
greatest caution, but had agreed to furnish propaganda material.
Socialist deputies interrupted "he

fore in the disposal system, few com
| plaints received because of failure to
make regular collections. The city
| of Wilkes-Barre is divided into dis
tricts by the contracting firms, and
collections of garbage are made
; twice a week in each section. Each
: day about ten tons of waste is gath
: ered and sent to the piggery in big
] auto trucks. Small one-horse steel
I wagons are Used in collecting the
i garbage, each holding about one and
one-half tons.
Far From City
The piggery is located about four
. miles from the city and at present
, about 425 hogs are being kept there.
Three men are needed to care for the
• pigs. Within the last few weeks
ninety small pigs have been added
i to replace some of the larger ones
i which will be sold.
The garbage as it is collected is
taken to a place near the outskirts
of the city where it is separated,
bones and rotten garbage being used
for fertilizer. The other waste is
sent to the piggery.
Before the contractors undertook
i their work the city was canvassed
and each householder was asked to
■fill out a card stating whether col
lection of garbage was wanted. At
i first, some difficulty was experienced
in having the residents use uniform
i receptacles and not dump all kinds
i of refuse in with the garbage. When
, ever cases of this kind were found
I the city was notified by the com-
I pany and the residents in turn were
j told to comply with the regula
tions.
While nothing definite has been
| decided about the ash collections in
| Wilkes-Barre, Dr. Raunick stated
i that he was told that plans are be
ing made also to handle this im
portant problem as satisfactorily as
the garbage disposal.

Week of December 10
The court was asked to-day to set
a date for the hearings of the issues

suggested the week of December 10
for the trials, stating to the court
that counsel for the property own

heard at that time. The court held
the question under advisement. It is

French Advance
Paris, Oct. 10. : —A further advance
has been made by the French troops
which took the offensive yesterday In
Belgium, in co-operation wfth the
British. Papegoet farm has been
captured, the war office announced,
and more prisoners have been taken.

were repulsed but that south of the
railway on a front of 2,000 yards the

German Soldiers No Match
For French and British
in Great New Offensive
By Associated Press
British Front in France and Bel
gium. Oct. 9.—The blow struck by
the llritish and French forces to-day
against u wide section of the Ger
man dtftnse between the Houtholst
forest and Broodseinde has resulted
in another great success. Over much
of tills fiont the attacking troops
swept forward to a depth of 1,200
yards or more, overrunning many
important strongholds of the shat
tered enemy.
This afternoon the allies were dig
uing in almost on the outskirts of
.louthoist forest, the British were
beyond Poelcapelle after sanguinary
hand-to-hand fighting, and further
soutn had gaified the Passchendafclc
ridge within less than 1,000 yards of
Passchendaele, thereby wrenching
away almost all that remained to
•he Germans of their famous Pass
i '•ondaele-Gheluvelt ridge system of
fortillcations.
German Losses Heavy
Again the German losses have
been great and reports from all along
the line indicate that their organiza
tion and morale were hit hard.
It has been another wonderful
performance on the part of the allies
and the victory has been more re
markailc because of the tremendQus
natural difficulties to the advance.
The rain of the last two days had
turned much of the battle ground
into a morass, through which the
French and the men of the British
empire l!oundered knee deep. How
they could make their way forward
over such ground, much less fight
over It, Is the amazing thing. This
fact undoubtedly contributed to the
day's trluMpb. for German prisoners
said that nobody on their side had
thought the allies would advance
under such conditions. The appear
ance of the mud-covered allied
troops (oming out of the marshes
be fore lit German lines apparently
unnerved the enemy. They surren
dered in large numbers in many
places, or ran away as fast as they
could.
His C'ountcrnttaek
The Germans attempted one coun
terattack of considerable cize. This
was astride Ypres-Roulers railway
and was smashed by the British ar
tillery fire.
As in the battle last Thursday, a
large body of Germans was caught
unawares and virtually wiped out.
An entire German division—the
22 7th—was brought up during the
night to relieve the division in the
line between Poelcapelle and the
Houltholst forest. The men were
transported in motor lorries from
Uoulers and arrived at the advanced
positions about 3 o'clock this morn
'ng. They were ignorant of the na
ture of the country and when caught
in the attack some two hours later
they were bewildered and put up Ut
ile resistance.
Freneli Push Ahead
The French pushed forward rap-
Idly. however, reducing numerous
German pill boxes and redoubts and
had accomplished all set
out to do by 10 o'clock. This meant
that they were some 500 yards be
vond Mangelaere and almost at the
edge of the Houtholst forest. Heavy
casualties were inflicted on the Ger
nans by the preliminary bombard
ment and during the fighting. At an
•arly hour, the French reported the
capture of several hundred prisoners
and also that their own losses were
light.
Some of the hottest work Of the
day occurred in town of Poel
capelle. In last Thursday's drive the
British had established themselves
In the western half of the village
ind vigorous fighting had continued
there ever since. At dawn to-day
hand-to-hand fighting amidst the
ruins began in earnest and the Ger
mans were gradually pushed back
to the eastern outskirts of the town
where they took up a position In a
big brewery. This place was well
fortified and every window furnished

8,000 MEN TO •
BE EXAMINED
IN THIS CITY
If Washington Decides to Call
Every One, Local Boards
Will Open Quarters
If Washington decides to examine
every man registered now, the three
Harrisburg boards, which have exam- !
ined but a few out-of-town men. will j
be required to secure new offices, j
About 8,000 men will b examined j
alone In addition to half that num
ber remaining in the county.
The first district examined its men
at the home of Dr. V. Hummel Fager,
the second district at the office ot
Or. Thomas 10. Bowman and the third
district in the office of the Directors
ol" the Poor. As these three places
will be inadequate to handle the large
number who will be examined, new
quarters must be selected. So far
none of the three boards has taken
any action on the matter and they
are awaiting official orders from
headquarters.
The members of the boards of the
three districts of Harrisburg are as
follows;
District No. I—W. W. Caldwell,
chairman; John E. Fox and Dr. V.
Hummel Fager.
District No. 2—Fred R. Smith, 1509
State street, chairman; Dr. Thomas
E. Bowman and Edwin E. Thompson.
District No. 3—John C. Orr. 1933
North Third street, chairman; J. W.
Bayles and Dr. C. R. Philips.
Mar Oo October 111
Reports have been circulated that
negroes are to be sept In the next
call. This matter was denied at the
state draft headquarters. The third
contingent from Dauphin county will
hi all probability leave Harrisburg
October 19 or 20. Definite Informa
tion on this matter was not obtain
able, as the orders have not been re
ceived from the authorities.
All the boards in the second mid
dle judicial district have sent fifty
per cent, of their required quota to
camp. The Paxtang board has sent
fifty-five per cent., Elizabethville has
sent about fifty-two per cent, and
the Steelton board exactly fifty per
cent.
If all the men in these boards are
examined under the new orders, the
question of securing the
quotas will be easy. It is certain
that the extra men examined will
not be sent away for some length of
time.
Appeal Board Adjourns
The District Appeal Board ad
journed late yesterday and will not
resume sessions until Friday morning
at 9 o'clock. Yesterday the hoard

of the white men who are available
for military service.
