Stauffer .of Landisville, was run over and killed by an automobile on Monday near his home, while cross ing the street. The machine was bc-ing run by Mr. Epley, of Carlisle. The lad was carried to his home and Or. J. S. Koendig, of.Salunga, and Dr. Newton Bityer, of Lancaster, sum moned, but their efforts to save his life were futile. Coroner Dellinger decided that death was accidental. Public buildings, lodge rooms, large in / stitutions—should be decorated appropriate ly, and that can be ac complished if the serv ices of a skilled and ex perienced decorator are called upon.

NEED OF SMOKES GROWS AS BOYS WAIT FOR BATTLE American Lads Need Nico tine's Soothing While in Trenches With American troops now in the first battle line in France waiting for an attack that may materialize at any moment, the need for Amer ican tobacco is being more keenly felt than it was even in the train ing camps. The Harrisburg Telegraph's to bacco fund is the best arrangement yet offered fof giving the boys at the front the comfort of a good smoke. For every twenty-five cents sent to the Telegraph an American soldier in France will receive one of the American Tobacco Company's pack ages or kits containing tobacco, cigarets and clgaret papers, the re tail price of which is forty-tlve cents at home. The package is sent to France free of cost for packing, shipping and transportation -across the water. And a nice fe-ature of the arrange ment is that a return postcard is enclosed with every package and this is sent back to the donor as an ac knowledgement of the receipt of the kit by some American soldier. The boys at the front have an army of friends at home, every one of whom would be pleased to receive one of the postcards. In a smoke the soldier often finds his greatest consolation. In a smoke he remembers and forgets; forgets the trials of modern war and re members the sweet things at home. It helps him to while away the long hours of waiting in the trenches and | heartens him immeasurably. Letters and stories of those now fighting in France have told this until it is in deed an oft rapeatert story. There is a definite comfort to be derived from tobacco and there is nothing that can take its place. A trench is not a big city and there is not a cigar store around the corner. Everything done for the boys "up to date" is good, admirable, but,.the people who stay at home must real ize that tobacco is not a luxury in this use; not Something that can be done without. It is and always has been a vital necessity. Previously acknowledged ...$071.43 S. G. Glass 25 Ednu Scltzinger, Mt. Car mcl. Pa Jean .ScitzliiKcr, Ml. Car mel, Pa .SO Rot>crt K.
