Vou know how glad you are to get

your favorite ©tie.
Our boys in France are having a
hard time trying to get any 1 satis
faction out of French tobacco.
There's plenty of it, but somehow,
their smoke palate rebels at the new
ilavor. They want, most of all, the
old, familiar brand'of pipe tobacco
and "makin's" and the cigarets they
used to have at home.
That's why you hear the new "S.

No Substitute
For
Well-Iced Refrigerator
REAR porches, window boxes and venti
lated pantries are dangerous and ex
pensive substitutes for the ice box.
Food placed out of doors is exposed to the
germ-laden aii* and soon becomes unfit for
use—athough the quality seems impaired.
To properly care for food you must have
a uniform temperature of 40 degrees F. day
and night. This is possible only bv the use
of a well-iced refrigerator.
The cost of one roast allowed to spoil will
buy ice for a week. The expense of one case
of ptomaine poisoning will buy ice for a sea
son for the average family.
Keep your refrigerator going ever day in the year
and by so doing practice true economy.

Residents of City Are
Showing Interest in
Offer of Trees at Cost
At the Park Department offices to
day a number of inquiries were made
by persons who in all probability will
be among the lirst to start shade-tree
planting this fall and take advantage
of the offer of the city park officials
to sell trees at a small cost.
Park Commissioner Gross and As
sistant V. Grant Forrer said to-day
that the residents of the city have
an excellent opportunity now to ob
tain the best shade trees for planting
as the stock at the nursery at lslanS
Park includes many healthy trees, all
of which are at least five years old.
The department is using about 150
trees for planting along River Front
Park and has many more which are
now large enough to be removed and
will bo sold. Complete information
about tree planting will be given to
any one communicating with park de
partment offices, Mr. Forrer stated.

German Plotters in
U. S. Seek to Hurt
Red Cross Work
By Associated Press
Washington, Oct. 12. De
claring that efforts to disparage
the work of the American Red
Cross are being made in various
sections of the country as part of
an anti-patriotic ' propaganda,
General Manager Harvey Wilson
to-day told all Red Cross division
managers to begin a nation-wide
campaign to the move
ment to its source and combat it.
"It is evident that rumors and
innuendoes, critical of and cal
culated to embarrass the Red
Cross, are being industriously cir
culated as part of an nnti
patriotic propaganda." the tele
gram reads. "Insofar as such
statements or questions are mere
ly efforts to obtain information
they should be earnestly and sin
cerely met, but many of the
stories, utterly unwarranted in
Tact, emanate simultaneously
from too many different parts of
the country to be merely acci
dental.
PUTS MORE FORCE
INTO HIS SERMONS
Pastor 'tells How He Got Back
His Grip After Five Years
"Before I used DR. CHASE'S
BLOOD AND NERVE TABLETS, I
used to be so weak that at times I
had to hold on to the pulpit while
delivering my sermons," said W. H.
J. POWELL, of Camden, Arkansas.
Uev. Powell Is preslidng elder of the
Fordyoe District. West Arkansas
Conference, and is well known
throughout the west.
"There were nights when the
slightest noise would awaken ine—
the closing of the door or the flap
ping of the window shade. I was
nervous to an extreme.
"Another distressing effect of my
Illness was that 1 lost control of my
bowels at times. Sometimes It
seemed as though there was no feel
ing in my lower limbs. 1 couldn't
kneel down without grasping hold of
something to keep from falling.
"One of my parishioners recom.
mended DR. CHASE'S BLOOD AND
NERVE TABLETS to me. I thank
God I found this remedv for I really
believe I should have died kad I not
found it. My strength has been re
stored and I feel ten years younger."
Rev. Powell's case Is but one of
thousands of similar cases that have
been helped by Dr. Chase's Blood and
Nerve Tablets. Those tablets, which
are designed to help the siek, half

DAUPHIN CLAIMS
TO BE UP MONDAY
Appeal Board Will Finish Up
Early Next Week; May*
Deny Chance to Enlist
The district appeal board resumed
session this morning in the House
caueas rooms at the Capitol and ex
amined all the claims for exemption
from Adams county. The board re-,
mained in session all day and ad
journed until Monday morning at 9
o'clock.
Next week an effort will be made
to clean lip all the'claims that re
main to be acted on and these will
include all of Dauphin which have
been before the board for some time.
Efforts are being made by the
board to appeal in behalf of the Brit
ish and Canadian recruiting station
to patriotic British subjects living
in this district who are willing to do
some work to assist in listing British-
Canadian subjects in this district.
A letter written to David E. Tracy,
chairman of the board, by S. G. T.
Steele, colonel of the British and
Canadian recruiting station is as fol
lows:
Sir: With reference to War De
partment telegram, dated Washing
ton, September 12, 1917, from Gen
eral Crowder (copy attached), I have
the honor to request the favor of
your kindly informing me, whether
the following information can be ob
tained from the records on file at
your otiice, namely:
Serial No., surname, christian
name, address, country of origin, of
all British subjects, including British
colonial subjects, and subjects of the
Oversees Dominions, in your divi-j
sion, if nit, would you kindly let me
know the name and address of the i
chairman of the local board to whom
I should apply.
I am well aware that the comple
tion of this information may involve
some clerical labor. I should be much
obliged, therefore, if youwould lurid
ly let me know the names and ad
dresses of any local patriotic British
ladies and gentlemen, who would be
public spirited enough, either to col
lect the information required by us
in their own spare tiirfe, or who
would superintend the collection of it
by a specially paid clerical staff.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) S. G. T. STEELE,
Colonel British and Canadian Re
crliting Mission.
May Not Be Able to Enlist
The question as to whether or not'
the young men of Harrisburg can
enlist even if the orders are given to
examine all registered men, is caus
ing great anxiety. Many rumors to
the effect that the right of volunteer
enlistment is to be denied registered
men have been circulated. Several
newspapers have given the wrong
version of the matter and as a re
sult. many Qf the young men of Har
risburg who are registered, do not
know exactly what to do. Colonel
Frank Sweeney of the state draft
headquarters, to-day stated that
there has not been any change In the
reading of the law.
Up to this time every registered
man who has not been called for ex
amination by his local board is free
to enlist. Once he is called, how
ever, he loses that right and must
present himself for examination. Un
less this law is changed, the issuance
of the new orders to examine all reg
istered men, as is contemplated, will
automatically stop the enlistment of
all registered men. However, Secre
tary of War Baker in his address
to the members of the Chamber of
Commerce stated that it is probable
that new laws will be made regard
ing the draft system. Until the new
orders are issued, every Harrisburger
who has registered, and has not been
called may enlist without any fear
of being summoned for examination
by his local board.
