MONDAY EVENING,
Postmaster Leiby Named
as Fuel Commmissioner
Marysville, Pa., Dec. 17.—The coal
situation in Marysville has not been
relieved during the past several
weeks. Postmaster 13. B. Leiby has
just been appointed by County Fuel
Administrator D. H. Meek, of New
Bloomiield, as the district chairmiin
of this section.
Here many residents are without
coal and wood is being cut from the
.surrounding wooded sections. In the
Marysville public schools, but two
tons of coal remain in the cellar.
This will last until Tuesday evening.
Merchants do not have fuel to
heat their stores and packing cases
are being burned. The supply of coal
in several of the churches has run
low. The suggestion has been made
'that all church services, Sunday
school, prayer meeting, preaching
services, etc., would be held as union
services in order to economize in the
use of the fuel.
AMERICAN AMBULANCE MEN
SENT TO' ITALIAN FRONT;
■ LOCAL BOY WITH UNIT
Many an American youth will envy
the adventures which are suggested
in a letter just received by Mrs. Det

when 110 wrote was on the point of
starting on a 1,200-mile motor trip
lrom Paris to the Italian front.
Young Dptweiler had the honor of
being picked for one in the first
American ambulance section to be
rushed to the Italian battlefields. The
occasion was considered so impor
tant that the Red Cross had mov
ing pictures made ft the American
boys as they set off from the French
capital. The letter reads as follows:

Mother Dearest:

by twenty ambulances which the Ued

aid the Southern ally. We are going

Both sides held consultations lin
ing up their forces preliminary to
the convening of the House. Pro
hibitionists considered that the op
position had gained some strength
in the last few days but expressed
confidence in the adoption of the !
resolution by a narrow but safe mar- \
sin. Representative Randall, of Cat- I

than were necessary.
Opponents of the resolution gave j
no fisures but declared their belief j
the resolution would not be adopted.
Only about half the membership |

time, but the galleries were jammed, i
There was a good deal of sparring I
over control of the time for debate, !
which was arranged by equal di
vision.
The debate began amid a round
of applause from the Democratic

Congressmen emerged from under
veritable waves of telegrams from

HARRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH
the first American ambulance section
to enter Italy arid the Red Cross is
having "a movie" taken of us as we
leave Paris—so you may see me in
"The Regent" at home, or elsewhere.
I am expecting a wonderful experi
ence, only fear it will be "pretty
hot" for us down there, for you
know what's going on.
Twenty-eight men, all experienced
on the French front as members
either of Norton Hayes or American
Ambulance Field Service sections,
compose the first unit and a second
and probably several more will be
dispatched later if called for by the
Red Cross leaders who are now in
Italy.
G. B. Fife, a newspaper man con
nected with the Red Cross, is a mem
ber of the party and will be the his
torian of the long automobile trip.
The majority of the ambulances
are Fords as they have proved
themselves best for work of this
character in hilly countries. The
men will carry thfeir own supplies
and we will have as passengers a
few other Red Cross workers—Gor
don Sarre and George von Utassy,
are chef and sons phef.
Just wanted to let you know we
are "off" for the Italian front. My

WEST SHORE TOWNS SUFFER
FROM SHORTAGE OF COAL
With Probability of Continued Cold Weather Cbnditions
at Enola and Marysville Are Becoming Serious;
Wood Supply Entirely Sold Out
"Hundreds of persons in Knola and
vicinity are suffering to-day from an
acute shortage of'coal." 'This was
the brief statement made by Samuel
Mumpher, owner of a calr.ge coal and
wood yard at Knola. With a weather
forecast for colder weather during
the coming week, it is feared that
serious hardships will result from the
lack of fuell Two cars of coa were
reeeived at Enola Saturday, but this
only helped to relieve the situation,
women crowded Mr. Mumpher's office
begging for coal, saying that they
h-ad not a bushel in their cellars. The
large reserve of wood has also been
exhausted, according to Mr. Mum
pher. When the coal situation be
came bad, wood was substituted for
coal and as a result this supply of
fuel liati now been exhausted, with
no prospects of it being replenished.
According to the number of tons
of coal used in this vicinity last yea",
Enola Is ebtween 1,000 and a,OOO tons
behind schedule. Mr. Mumpher stated
to-day that he has twelve cars of
coal ordered, but is unable to say
when these cars will arrive. East
week he received one car from the
mines and his office was swamped
by eager people seeking coal. Many
of these people live at Marysville,
which place has been without coal
for three weeks. This car was di
vided between Enola and Marysville.
Summerdale, a small town north of
Enola, is practically without any fuel.
All efforts to secure coal from pri
vate operators have failed, according
to Mr. Mumpher. He offered certified
checks to the operators, but these

, had maintained his teams and kept
men on the payrolls even when he
was without work for them. When
the two cars arrived on Saturday, he
was compelled to hire teams from
another dealer In order that the coal
could be delivered with all possible
speed. Many families have secured
a little coal from Harrisburg dealers,
I but these retailers must supply their
| own customers before looking out for
j suburban trade. In a number of in
stances men were compelled to carry
soft coal from the railroad' yards in
order to keep their families from
freezing. Mr. Mumpher also said that
it was impossible to buy any soft
< coal for the use of his customers and
that ho had made several efforts to
do so.
There seems to be immediate dan
ger of closing the schools of Enola
and East Pennsbofo township on ac
count of the fuel situation. A school
director said to-day that the board
had been fortunate in filing the bins
of lar&er buildings at the beginning
of the year. However, In some of
the smaller buildings additional coal
was placed in the cellars only last
week, before the present cold wave.
This school official further said that
he believed the schools had enough
fuel to do until shpring, although he
was unable to vouch for this asser
tion. The churches of town have a
limited amount in their cellars and
there is no immediate possibility ot"
uniting for the services, as was sug
gested by a West Shore coal dealer
recently.

Nerves Cry Out for Phosphorous
Like Muscles Call for Food
Saja Doctor Who Prraerlltca Phosphorated .Malt to Steady the Nervea, Clear
the llraiu nnd ilring liark the Joja of l.ife
Boston, Mass.—"Your nerves need
phosphorus like your muscles need
food," says t>r. Reid, "and the trou
ble with most men and women past
thirty is they have exhausted their
natural supply of plioaphorus and lind
themselves run down and unable to
do their usual work. Often they look
strong and robust as if they -could
do a full day's work, but, while they
may have strength of a certain kind,
ana often do, they lack the endur
ance that comes of healthy nerves
under perfect control. They lack de
cision and <lnd it difficult to concen
trate on one thing: and linish It. and
often show a disposition to take life
with easy indifference; or they are
vivous, irritable and easily startled
at any sudden noise or unusual oc
currence."
"But generally a lack of phosphor
us shows itself in a lack of general
interest, —apathy, indifference, to
such an extent that people are often
thought to be lazy whereas they, are
<nly nerve-starved. Such a condition
never comes on suddenly, though it
may reach a crisis and seem to. We
go on for months or years constantly
consuming more phosphorus than the
system secretes and that is the rea
son it is so often unnoticed till the
crisis is reached and a complete
nervous breakdown is close at hand.
Both mind and body are affected.
Mentally you are less alert. You see
less and feel less, either of pleasure
or pain. Nothing impresses you or
interests you as it once did. You
actually live less because your nerves
arc less alive. It is dangerous and
needless to run Into such a condition;
for if taken in t(me the nerves can
be supplied with phosphorus and re
stored to perfect health. A good test
for this condition is the following:
Walk around a block and then sit
down and write of what you saw,
people, show windows, street traffic
trees, —everything. Date this list.
Then take two five-grain tablets of
phosphorated malt after each meal
for ten days. Take the same walk
again at the same hour of the day
and write out what you see. You
will be astonished at the second list.
In all probability you will have from
two to ten times as long a list as
the first one."

"I have seen phosphorated malt
produce astonishing results in a very
short time. Recently a patient caniu
lo me physically run down and on
the verge of a mental collapse. Hi*
daily work had become drudgery and
he got neither rest nor recreation
li'om his sports or holidays. He could
neither sleep nor concentrate hlx
rnind on his work. 1 udvised him t<
eat less and take two live-grain tab
lets of phosphorated malt after
meal. Jn ,less than ten days ha
walked into my office full of vim and
vigor,—his eyes bright, his step tirm
and his manner that of a man of
lu.enty-llve though he was well past
tifty."
Tlie value of malt is well known tot
all physicians. 11 is a remarkable
tonic and tissue builder. Combined
with phosphorus and. phosphates as
in phosphorated malt it increases
mental stamina, balances the blood
and ids the system to convert food;
into living tisjue, The old liquid
forms of malt are not pleasant or
convenient to take and most of them
contain alcohol, which produces n
needless stimulation always followed
t>y a dangerous and depressing reac
tion. Phosphorated malt has tho
tissue building properties of malt
without the evils of alcoholic stimu
lation. In it mnlt is so combined
with other ingredients as to produco
a line exhilaration and a noticeable
feeling of well-being. After a few
days of it you will wake in tho
morning vigorous and refreshed,
ready to rise and begin the day's
work with double confidence, opti
mism and endurance.
Note: The feeling of exhilaration
often notice? ble after a few weeks'
use of phosphorated malt is not tha
result of stimulation. It is the buoy
ance that comes of perfect health—•
a life stream flowing freely, laden
with the nourishment the body needs
and flushing out through the elinii
native system the poisons of which
the body needs to be rid. The fino
exhilaration of perfect health anil
faultless nourishment is so rare t'
most people as to be remarkable and
strange. Phosphorated malt is sold
by all druggists and especially in
Harrisburg by J. Nelson Clark, H.'C.
Kennedy and others.
