"Reduction" writes: "I am seeking
some safe method to reduce my flesh.
While my frame is large I am getting
real fat, and of course it is embar
rassing."
Answer: For many years I have
placed reliance in the formula known
as five-grain arbolone tablets packed
in sealed tubes with full directions
for home use. Some have reduced as
much as forty pounds in a few weeks.

C. %. C. asks: "I am constipated,
tongue coated, have headache, dizzy
spells and Indigestion some times.
Please advise?"
Answer: X advise that you begin
using three-grain aulpherb tablets
(not sulphur). These tablets are
laxative, act on the liver, kidneys and
bowels and tend to keep the blood
pure. by arousing the ellminative
functions. Relief should follow
quickly.
"Grateful" asks: "About a year ago
I was afflicted with a bad case of
dandruff. 1 used plain yellow minyol
and three treatments cured me. Now,
I want to know if I can Increase my
weight about 30 pounds?"
Answer: I have verv frequently ad
vised thin, aenemlc, bloodless people
to use three-gTain hypo-nuclane tab
lets at meal times. They assist diges
tion, increase the nutritive processes
and give strength and flesh to such
people. Several months' treatment Is
essential to produce results.

PROF. J. D. RENNINGER
Professor J. D. Renninger, one of
the new members of the Technical
High school faculty, severed his con
nections with that institution at noon
to-day to hurry to the colors of Uncle
Sam. He has received word to report
at Willow Grove to-morrow noon.
The Tech tutor is a Norristown man.
Mr. Renninger came to Tech from
the Ambler High school faculty,
taking up his duties as a teacher of
Freshman English with the opening
of the school term in September. Five
weeks ago Mr. Renninger passed the
physical examination, and was ex
pecting the call momentarily. Get
ting an inkling that he was to be
called this week, Mr. Renninger sur
prised his friends Saturday by ra
rylng Miss Elizabeth Zimmerman, at
Carlisle. The bride will remain with
her mother nt Scotland, Franklin
county.
In the two months that Mr. Ren
ninger has been at Tech ho has made
many friends with the students and
faculty. Sorry to lose his association,
the Maroon students showered him"
with congratulations when he left. In
round numbers, just one'dozen Tech
teachers are of conscription age-
Several others of the number have
been examined and are awaiting the
call to the colors. Almost one hun
dred graduates ami former students
of Tech are already in the several
arms of service.
Professor Warren B. Longenecker,
the new teacher of electricity, arrived
this morning to begin his duties. He
is a Penn-State graduate. He suc
ceeds J. C. Peet, who went to> the
University of Toledo.

The questions answered below are
general In character, the symptoms or
diseases are given and the answers
will apply in any case of similar na
ture.
Those wishing further advice, free,
may address Dr. Lewis Baker. College
Bldg., College-Elwood streets, Dayton,
Ohio, enclosing self-addressed stamp
ed envelope for reply. Full name and
address must be given, but only ini
tials or fictitious names will be used
In my answers. The prescriptions
can be filled at any well-stocked drug
store. Any druggist can order of
wholesaler.
Answer: In all such cases the assi
milative functions have not kept
place with waste functions and a
powerful harmless tonic treatment is
I needed. I find three-grain cadomene
tablets unexcelled and astonishingly
I beneficial in such cases and advisu
them for you.
"kaura" says: "Some time ago 1
contracted a very severe cold and
cough. I have tried many remedies
but they do not seem to help me at
all. I wish you would advise me what
to do."
Answer: What you need is a laxa
tive cough syrup, one that will drive
the cold from your system. The fol
lowing prescription will check your
cold and cough: Get a 2%-oz. pack
age of concentrated essence mentho
laxene and make according to direc
tions on the bottle. Take a teaspoon
ful every hour or two or until your
cold is better. This will relieve vou
in a very few days.
M. J. B. asks: "My hair is too oily
and my scalp itches with dandruff,
and of late it is combing out too
much. What is a good treatment?"
Answer: Obtain plain yellow minyol
from your druggist in 4-oz. jars and
apply as per directions. This cleans,
purifies, cools and invigorates the hair
and scalp, thus stopping the death of
the hair. Dandruff and itching are at
once relieved. Men and v.omen all
over the country now use it regularly.
• • •
"Weakness'" writes: "Havq been
doctoring for kidney trouble and now
want your advice. Frequent desire
is followed by burning pain and am
very tender and sore over region of
bladder. Also backache affects me
dreadfully. Can hardly move when 1
awake In .the morning. Weakness,
too, is a symptom."
Answer: I think if you will take
balmwort tablets regularly for a few
weeks your kidneys and bladder will
become normal and such symptoms
vanish. This Is unequalled for such
complaints In my estimation.
NOTE: For many years Dr. Baker
has been giving free advice and pre
soriptions to millions of peoplt
through the press columns, and doubt
less has helped In relieving illness and
distress more than any single Indi
vidual In the world's history. Thou
sands have written him expressions
of gratitude and confidence J
STRAWRIDES! NEVER AGAIN
FOR THESE BOYS AND GIRLS
Just why two score youths and
maidens were tired and sleepy yes
terday at work and school did not
transpire until to-day when one by
one the boys and girls solemnly de
clared "never again" for strawrides.
Reluctantly the story was told of
the strawride that left Front and
Market streets so joyfully at 7 o'clock
in the evening and did not get back
to the starting point until 7 o'clock
the next morning, and then only with
every lad and lass drenched to the
skin irr the cold, driving rain that has
swollen river and creek. And there
was no top on automobile that car
ried the party.
The party drove into Goldsboro
shortly after 9 o'clock in a gently
patter of rain. In ten minutes there
was a downpour that soaked the
straw. According to members of
the party, the driver decided to brave
the elements for the trip home at 11
o'clock. From that time until 7

tuary, was turned back about half |
way to I ondon. Meanwhile the fifth
group crossed the Essex coast at |
about 12.15 a. m., and steered to- |
ward London byway of the north j
bank of the Thames. Some of thesej
raiders were turned back by the;
outer defenses, but one or more ]
penetrated into southeast London,!
where bomos were dropped."
"The sixth group followed along j
the same course about a quarter of j
an hour later. Some of these ma- j
chines penetrated into vhe southeast j
outskirts of London where tome ,
bombs were dropped. Meanwhile:
one or more enemy machines drop- I
ped bombs in the (southwestern oui- j
skirts of London. The (seventh j
group which approached along the .
south bank of vhe Thames was ms- I
parsed by. gunfire before reaching i
ihe outer London defences.
"In addition, individual raiders j
attacked the Kentish coast betweei.
midnight and 1.30 o'clock. Reports j
indicate that each group consisted !
of three or four machines, the total
numbers of raiders engaged being j
about thirty. Of this total only j
about three machines succeeded In ,
actually penetrating into the heart
of London. The raiders were har
rassed by our gunfire during the j
whole of their flight, and were also '
attacked by our aircraft. The facility |
with which they were able to escape ,
observation by taking advantage of'
the clouds prevented any decisive !
engagement.
"Full reports have not yet been |
received but those already furnished
point to comparatively light casual
ties and damage, considering the
number of the machines and the de
termined nature of the attack."
English Planes Score
Hits in Prussia
London. Oct. 31. The communi- i
cation dealing with aviation issued |
this evening says:
"Following on these of Monday i
night and yesterday morning, an- I
other raid into Germany was carried i
out by our machines last night. On !
this occasion, the steel works and j
station at Volklingen (Rhine prov
ince of Prussia) were with
excellent results. Direct hits were
observed on a furnace and power
house and on a train. The weather
which was brilliant during the early
part of the raid, turned later into
rain and snow. In spite of this all
of our raiding machines returned,
except one."
COAL FAMINE NEAR AND
COLD WEATHER COMING
[Continued from First Pajre.]
the mines, on the basis that if there •
were any real hardships threatened
in the places close to the mines, coal j
could be rushed to those places in a ;
comparatively short time. Mr. Fry
stated that the trade commission has j
recently shipped into the northwest I
t'nited States and Canada 700.000 tons |
of anthracite coal. Mr. Fry stated j
that the conditions are becoming
worse every day, and that no relief j
could be expected. He said that he j
is just simply waiting to see what l
will happen, as there is nothing the
dealers can do to relieve the situa- ]
tion.
Among the dealers seen this morn
ing who have no coal at all, are
Wierman and Wierman. White Hill,
and S. B. Leach. Lemoyne. The Fry
Coal Company has practically none,
while the United Ice and Coal Com
pany's supply is very low. McCreath
Brothers Coal and Wood Company i
said its supply is low. and the situa
tion is serious. One dealer said he
thought he was summing up the sit
uation in the entire city when he
said he had about 10 per cent, as
much coal as he should have.
Frank Wallis, head of the Wallis
Ccal Company, however, says this
morning that in his opinion the situ
ation was not as bad as has been
supposed. He said he thought there
is plenty of coal in Harrisburg. and
that many of the people are well
supplied. He even stated that his
drivers say that they have trouble
getting coal into the cellars when
they deliver it. as the consumers al
ready have a fair supply. He even
predicted a slump in the coal mar
ket. His reason for the present
shortage is that the Reading Coal
Company, which says they have sup
plied Harrisburg well in the past,
has during the past month sent the
coal to regions which are not so well
supplied. This dealer stated that in
his opinion the whole trouble comes
from the unequal distribution of the
coal to the tinal consumer.

ty. in charge of Sergeant Heronymus,
of Reading, arrived in this city at 11

where they were examined. The
youths are volunteers and have form

Advices from Palestine that with
| the advent of favorable weather the
j British are resuming their active
j campaign up the Syrian coast. The
capture by British troops of Beer
sheba, approximately forty miles
southwest of Jerusalem, is reported
j in an official statement to-day.
I When the operations in Palestine
! halted last spring the British had
pushed up the coast from the Sinai
| peninsula to the gates of Gaza, on
! the coast In Southern Palestine,
I while in interior Palestine their col
j umns had advanced on a virtually
I parallel front to the vicinity of Beer-
J sheba. There were reports that there
i had been a penetration as far north
| ward as Hebron, which is less than
twenty miles from Jerusalem, but
apparently there was no definite ad
vance of the British main force to
this point.
Reports early last month stated
that the British and revolting Arab
forces from the southern interior
had effected a junction in Southern
Palestine and that combined opera
tions by these forces against the
Turks might be expected shortly.
Infantry fighting on the French
front last night was of limited ex
tent. The most Important was an
attack by the Germans northwest of
Rheims. This effort made against
small posts north of the Loivre, was
repulsed by the French.
Stores and Bridges
Destroyed by Italians
in Retreat From Carso
By Associated Press
London, No. I.—All the British
guns with the Italian army were sav
' ed, according to a British correspon
| dent at Italian headquarters, who
j says that the spirits of the British
gunners are good. Lack of trans
-1 port which could not be allotted to
them was their whole trouble. One
j gun was so near to having to be
abandoned that the breach mechan
! ism was destroyed. However, the
| gun was saved eventually.
I The correspondent, who accom
panied the retreat of the third Ital
i ian army from the Carso, in a dis
patch dated Tuesday says that the
troops were cheerful and good tem
] pered and it was evident that firm
ness of command could reorganize
I them into a fighting force. The Duke
j of Aosta, commander of the third
| army, was calm and confident Mon
| day night as his army had saved
j nearly all Its guns.
The right wing of the second army
! also fell back regularly from Ba
i botin and Gorizia. The troops on the
left of the second army also were re
tiring steadily from their mountain
I positions so as to get into line with
I the left of the new defensive front
The Italian general staff, the writer
j says, naturally, has placed a severe
j ban on all descriptions of what hap
i pened during the last few days, but
j has permitted the sending of a de
scription of the destruction of Ital
ian stores. The correspondent says:
"The sky was constantly springing
into a livid flare like an instantane
ous sunset followed by a deep grum
bling roar. The vast clouds of smoke
were outlined against the glowing
! heavens. Ammunitions depots were
; being blown up, stores were being
j burned and bridges destroyed. The
j glare of explosions gave light to
j ghastly brilliance over the throngs of
the retreating army.
"A rainstorm broke and lasted for
; three hours, often with extreme vio
;| lence. It added to the hardships of
the retreat, already severe enough,
and must have meant death to many
of those wounded while covering the
retreat. But it delayed the enemy's
; udvance by swelling the rivers,
i softening the ground to mud and
; 1 making air reconnaissances and
: bombing raids on congested roads
; and railways impossible. Such are
j the outlines of the story of which ful
! ler details are not permitted.
"The situation undoubtedly is
grave but the silence which the inter
ests of the army now impose must
not be construed as an indication
that things are worse than they
actually are. The blow has been
severe but it will not crush Italy."
