Contractor Admits He
Used a Naughty Word
South Bethlehem, Nov. 2. —B. F.
Beatty, contractor, who carries mails
to and from the post office at 4 a.
ni. and other miscellaneous hours,
finds it so difficult to handle his
horses that several citizens prosecut
ed him for words he hurled at the
steeds. He was before Squire Cope
last night.
"How about this; why did you
swear at the team?" asked the Jus
tice.
"Swear? I never swear!" answer
ed Beatty.
The line of witnesses laughed in
unison.
"You have heard the testimony,"
put In the squire. "What's your re
ply?"
"Well, I might have said 'd—n,'
but I didn't say more."
Five dollars and costs w'ere paid
by Beatty.
GET NEW KIDNEYS!
The kidneys are the most overwoik
ed organs of the human body, and
when they fall in their work of filter
ing out and throwing oft the poisons
developed in the system, things begin
to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or
stiffness in the lower part of the back:
highly colored urine; loss of appetite,
indigestion; irritation, or even stone
in the bladder. These symptoms indi
cate a condition that may lead to that
dreaded and fatal malady, Bright's
disease, for which there is said to be
no cure.
You can almost certainly find imme
diate relief in GOLD MEDAL, Haarlem
Oil Capsules. For more than 200 years
this famous preparation has been an
unfailing remedy for nil kidney, blad
der and urinary troubles. Get it at
any drug store, and if it does not give
you almost immediate relief, your
money will be refunded. Be sure you
get the UOT.D MEDAL brand. None
other genuine. In boxes, three sizes.

FRIDAY EVENING,
ASH PROBLEM
THRESHED OUT
City Officials Meet Bonder of
Pennsylvania Reduc
tion Company
A conference between city officials
and a representative of the American
Surety Company, bonding: t'he Penn
sylvania Reduction Company, which
is being held this afternoon, will de
termine what action the city will take
in the carrying out of the resolution
passed by Council authorizing the
employment of sufficient teams and
men to make regular collections of
ashes and garbage.
While It was not stated definitely,
a number of the officials expressed
the belief that the bonding company
would compel the reduction company
to put 011 a much larger force and ful
fill all ,the requirements of the con
tract, which runs until next Febru
ary. Should the surety firm take
such aotion the city will not be com
pelled to go on with the work. Health
Officer J. M. J. ltauniek said to-day.
Preparing for any emergency, how
ever, Dr. Uaunick announced he bad
already secured some teams and ex
pected to get more in a day or two.
should it be necessary for the city to
put 011 a force. Dr. liaunick said,
however, thut he would not make any
more preparations to go on with the
work until he knew whether the
bonding company would compel the
reduction corftpany to make regular
collections.

of the Americans in the trenches

critical periods, when the enemy by
shelling the approaches to the posi

accomplished successfully. Appar

what .was going on.
With the men back in billets, it
now is permitted to mention for the
first time that the casualties were
negligible. In fact, more men are
suffering with "trench feet" than
with wounds.
• From ar military standpoint the
experience gained by the Americans
is considered of a very high value in
the training of contingents which
are yet to arrive on French soil. It
was a tired, dirty, wet, mudcaked
body of men that returned to bll-
The men had only two clear
days while in the trenches. They
were mud from their hats to their
shoes. Before anything else they re
quired a bath, first with gasoline
and then with water.
To-doy the sun was shining
brightly an dthe returned soldiers
spent most of the time sunning
themselves suid their belongings.
Some of the fields in this section of

Clouds of red dust arose in these

to brush. To-night the returned bat

RAILROAD * RUMBLES
RAILROADS LOSE
ON MAIL PLANS
Government Pays Out yery
Smalf Portion of Money
Provided
Something has happened to tlie
$3,000,000 a year increase in com
pensation to the railways for carry
ing the mails that the Postmaster
General has told the the
Interstate Commerce Commission
would result from the new space
basis of mail compensation which lie
put into effect on November 1, 1916,
says the Railway Age Gazette, In its
current issue. "The money cannot be
found In the latest reports of rail
way earnings, and, incidentally an
explanation of the reasons why it
does not may serve to explain why
,mail is sometimes received less
promptly than formerly."
For the calendar year 1916 the
railways' revenues from mail pay
were $265 per mile as compared with
only $255 in 1915, the Gazette says.
Up'to March of this year they still
showed an Increase. Something has
happened since that time with the
result that for seven months of the
year the railways had actually re
ceived only $278,000 out of the
promised $8,200,000 increase.
Railroads Are lxisci's
"What has happened to the $3,-
000,000 has been exactly what the
roads foresaw. Formerly the rail
roads were paid for carrying the mail
on the basis of weight, just as the
Post Office Department itself re
ceives Its pay on the weight basis. In
other worts, the Post Office Depart
ment proposed, and got Congress to
approve tentatively, a plan whereby
it pays the railroads per car mile
what it used to pay for a 3-ton car,
and then proceeds to take the mail
out of two or three cars or trains and
loads it into one.
"The Post Office Department has
tried to make the public think it has
increased the railway mail pay when
in fact it has reduced it, for no one
believes that the volume of mail car
ried is not much greater than it was
last year."

Governor Refuses
State Police For
Philadelphia Election
Philadelphia, Nov. 2.—Howard R.
Slieppard, chairman of the Town
Meeting party campaign' committee
yesterday made public a letter from
Governor Brumbaugh refusing Shep
pard's request to send the state po
lice to Philadelphia on election day.
The Governor wrote -in part:
"I beg to advise you that the state
police never is sent into any mu
nicipality save upon ■> the request of
the sheriff or mayor, that they have
never been used in an election con
test in all their history; that they are
sent only when local authorities re
port a condition of riot or disorder
that has gone beyond the control of
the local police power provided by
law, and that no men in this force
have gone under any other auspices.
Under these circumstances and the
absence of any requests from the
constituted guardians of the peace
in your country, it is the judgment
of the head of the force and of my
self that we would not be warrant
ed in taking the action indicated by
you."

Complexion Sallow?
| Then VVliy Not Treat Your Skin ';
j As Beautiful French Women Do? |
Paris:—Science has discovered that
faded, mottled, aged-looking complex
ions can be virtually renewed and
made surprisingly beautiful by means
of the following recipe: Merely wash
your face with clear, warm water and
rub in a teaspoonful of Creme Toka
lon Roseated; wipe the face and ap
ply Poudre Petalias—a very fine com
plexion powder prepared especially
for shiny noses and. bad complexions.
If your face is badly wrinkled, pet a
box of Japanese Ice Pencils to use In
connection with the roseated cream
and you should get quick action on
even the deepest wrinkles. Thus do
famous French actresses preserve the
rare beauty of their complexions, and
if you were to pay hundreds of dol
lars for special treatment you prob
ably would not be anything like as
well off as by using this simple and
inexpensive recipe. The articles men
