SHOT TEA BREAKS
A COLD—TRY THIS
Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take
a tablespoonful of this Ham
burg tea, put a cup of boiling
water upon it, pour through a sieve
and drink a teacup full at any time.
It is the most effective way to break
a cold and cure grip, as it opens 'he
pores, relieving congestion. Also
loosens the bowels, thus breaking a
cold at once.
It is inexpensive, entirely vege
table, therefore harmless. —Adv.

Stop Itching Eczema
Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by any druggist for3sc. Extra
large bottle, SI.OO. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short
time usually every trace of eczema,
tetter, pimples, rash, blackheads and
similar skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy,alwaysuse zemo,the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable
treatment for skin troubles of all kinds.

THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! JANUARY 3, 1918.
NEWS OF STEELTON
BOROUGH SUFFERS
FROM COAL LACK
Many Serious Cases Reported
to Dealers; Advice to Those
Who Have a Supply
Although becoming serious, the
I coal situation in Steelton Is not yet
I acute, was the opinion of W. E.
Abercrombie, manager of the Steel
ton Store Company. A member of
the Detweiler Brothers' coal concern
said that the situation here is the
worst it has been since the short
age existed. He said further that
many families are actually in need
of coal and in several instances the
conditions are serious.
Mr. Abercrombie said that he finds
in many sections of the town where
residents have been caught without
a supply and what little they had
on hand was exhausted and that the
borrowing and lending method is be
ing followed out. The manager stat
ed that it was not more than right
that those with a supply on hand
should hc)p out their neighbor who is
without a bit of fuel.
The Steelton Store Company an
ticipating the present shortage, held
back a small supply for persons un
able to purchase more than a bushel
at a time. This was done in order
to alleviate hardships among the
poorer class. A rush on this supply
was made when many unable to get
coal took advantage of the bushel
purchase method. This supply is ex
hausted.
The borough is without wood and
coal now, dealers report. It is im
possible to do anything now but to
borrow from someone who has a
supply of fuel on hand, is the advice
dealers give to customers.
Dealers started late last week to
refuse anv orders until a shipment
arrives. Several hundred orders are
booked ahead by local dealers, it is
reported.
Will Launch K. of C.
Campaign Here Tonight
The campaign for raising SIO,OOO
for the Knights of Columbus war
camp fund in the borough will be
launched at a meeting of the com
mittee in the G. A. R. hall this even
ing. Six teams of six members each
have been appointed to canvass for
contributions here. T. T. McEntee
has charge, with Postmaster M. M.
Cusack and James Coleman as other
members of the executive commit
tee.
Reports of the collections will be
made each evening at meetings of the
committees. The report of the open
ing day of the campaign will, be
posted at the committee meeting to
morrow night. The men on the com- |
mittees have been prominent in oth
er war fund drives and their is little
doubt but what the slogan will be
reached.
Children Insist on Using
Streets For Winter Sport
Children of the borough, accord
ing to the police. Insist on using
streets crossing street car tracks for
coasting. Officers have been instruct
ed by the chief of police to tell all
children to sled on streets where
they are not compelled to cross the
tracks, but as soon as the office*
turns his back the coasting is re
sumed. There is an ordinance pro
hibiting this practice and It will be
enforced rigidly, the chief said, if
the children do not obey the officers*
request. The ordinance provides
that the burgess name several streets
in the borough where coasting may
be carried on but this was not done.
It is likely that this ordinance will
be brought up before Council at the
next meeting
WOMEN TURN OUT IN
LARGE NUMBERS TO SEW
An appeal for sewers to work on
o. large order of Red Cross materials

Hampered by Water

days, was not delayed to any serious
extent. It was necessary for some of
the smaller departments to close
down this morning on account of the
low pressure of steam. The coal sup
ply is about as good as can be ex
pected, an official said. Every effort
is to be made to have the steady
stream of shipments arrive at the
plant daily, in order to avert a serious
shortage.
