SMOKES BIG
THINGS IN LIFE
OF U.S.SOLDIERS
Third Artillery Chaplain Says
Cigarcts Aid Him in
His Work
The Rev. Walter J. Fornes, chap
lain of the Third Artillery, knows
what a smoke means to a soldier. He
says:
"Smokes are the big things in a
soldier's life. It kept me awake
nights trying to figure how to obtain
30,000 cigarets of one particular
brand every three days, not to men
tion the many other brands required.
Smokes are a real need, the soldier
evidently finds."
Chaplains, it may be said, do more
than administer spiritually to the en
listed men. They are In charge of the
regiment's post exchange and charg
ed with caring for the physical com
forts of the men.
The secndlng of smokes to the sol
diers and sailors is endorsed by the
national, states, naval and military
authorities. In fact there is a nation
al organization, bearing the author
ization of the Secretary of War and
Navy, collecting a general fund for
this purpose. •

working good and there would not
be any change this year. It had been

RID NEYSN EVER
CAUSE BACKACHE
Rub pain, soreness and stiff
ness right out with
"St. Jacobs Oil."
Kidneys cause backache? No:
They have no nerves, therefore, can
not cause pain. Listen! Your back
ache is caused by lumbago, sciatica
or a strain, and the quickest relief Is
soothing, penetrating "St. Jacobs
Oil." Rub it right on the ache or
tender spot, and instantly the pain,
soreness, stiffness and lameness dis
appears. Don't say crippled! Get
a small trial bottle of "St. Jacobs'
Oil" from your druggist and limber
up. A moment after it is applied
you'll wonder what became of the
backache, sciatica or lumbago pain.
"St. Jacobs Oil" stops any pain at
once. It is harmless and doesn't
bum or discolor the skin.
It's the only application to rub on
a weak, lame or painful back, or for
lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma
tism, sprains or a strain.

ANNEXATION OF
WEST SHORE DIES
Opposition of Majority of
Towns Seems to Have Par
alyzed Proposition
The annexation of the West Shore
to Harrisburg which about a month
ago was being agitated in every town
on the west side of the river has al
most been forgotten.
In Lemoyne and Wormleysburg,
where the plan was favored by many
taxpayers, the proposition has ceased
to be the subject of discussion. Enola,
Midway, West Fairview, New Cum
berland and Camp Hill practically
killed the proposition when it came
before taxpayers at mass meetings
held in each of the towns.
A petition was circulated in Le
j moyne and signed by a large per
centage of taxpayers and was to
have been prescribed to the West
Shore Firemen's Union, which or
ganization inaugurated the move.
The petition was not presented and
the union has not mentioned the
proposition at its meetings.

Politlcul affairs in Germany are

the German Emrferor to Berlin. All
parties sem determined that Chan

hardly probable that the Emperot
will be willing to oppose this agita

peror will appoint another Prussian
bureaucrat in Michaelis' place is not
yet clear. Some leaders favor Prince
Von Buelow, the former chancellor,
but Socialist opposition against him
Is still strong.
