FIVE MEN FINED
FOR TAKING COAL
Charges Were Brought For
Carrying Away Fuel From
Enola P. R. R. Yards
Enola, Pa., Feb. 7.—Charged with
stealing: coal from cars in the local
yards of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, five men were given a
hearing last night before Justice of
the Peace I. W. Matter, of West
Fairview. The men were fined,
which was remitted; reprimanded
and also ordered to pay the costs,
which amounted to about the value
of the coal taken. A number ot
boys will also be given a hearing
before thre justice this evening on the
same charge. These arrests of per
sons charged with stealing coal from I
the railroad company to keep from
ireezing is the outcome of a cru
sade on the part of the railroad po
lice to stop the robberies. Recently
a whole carload of coal was taken
from the >ards.
The fuel situation here continues
to be acute. One car ot bituminous
fuel was placed on the siding of !
Samuel Mumper yesterday. This
makes two cars of coal to arrive
here this week. So great are the
demands for coal that people are
compelled to haul the coal to their
own homes. With warmer weather
the fuel situation here would be
greatly relieved.
Dr. E. C. Weirick said to-day that
unless more coal is received here or
the temperature takes a decided
rise, there is danger of a serious
outbreak of sickness in this vicin
ity.

What To Do When
Nerves Go Wrong
A SPHCIA LIST'S ADVICE
Men and women who suffer from
weak nerves, who tire easily, can't
sleep, have brain fag, low vitality,
general weariness, loss ot strength,
dulled ambition, lack of will power,
or any of those symptoms that so
surely arise from poor, unsteady, un
strung nerves, or nerve force run low.
should try eating a little Margo with,
their meals for a few days and note
results. This preparation is the
greatest ginger-up stimulant and
nerve vitalizer ever known for put
ting the good old "pep," ambition,
courage and real energy into a tired,
run-down and shattered nervous sys
tem.
Here is a test worth trying. The
next time you feel tired, blue, or when
your nerves are fairly crying out, eat
a Margo nerve tablet. Then wait fur
just ten minutes, and note results.
Margo seems to go straight to the
nerve cells and starts work the min
i.te it reaches them. It brings a ten
minute change from that awful dull,
weak, lazy, don't-give-a-hang feeling
to brightness, strength, clear headed
ness and courage. It calms and
strengthens the nerves of people who
get the "jumps" and fidgets, and
gives them poise, power and tremend
ous reserve energy. Margo nerve tab
lets are absolutely harmless, contain
no dope or habit-forming drugs, and
are always safe, easy, pleasant and
efficient. Kennedy's Cut Rate Medi

druggists in Harrisburg and vicinity

BACK HURTS OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Says Uric Acid in meat clogs
Kidneys and irritates
Bladder
A glass of Salts is harmless way
to flush Kidneys, says
Authority
If you must have your meat every
day, cat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost para
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel It from the blood. They be
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated, ob
liging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad
der weakness.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive; cannot in-
S Jure, and makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink.—Adv.
THURSDAY EVENING,
COAL RECEIVED
ON WEST SHORE
Nineteen Cars to Be Divided
Among Homes in Various
Towns Across River
West Shore towns from New
Cumberland to Summerdale, inclu
sive, have received nineteen cars of
coal this week, Robert L, Myers,
West Shore fuel administrator said
this morning. About 1,500 homes
were furnished with fuel by these
shipments. This amount of coal
will greatly relievo the situation
which has been acute for sometime.
In the opinion of Mr. Myers there
is no relief In sight for the schools
which have been closed on aocount
of the exhaustion of the fuel sup
ply. The fuel administrator emph
asized the fact that homes will be
furnished before public utilities. At
the present time the Lemoyne and
Camp Hill schools are closed. West
Fairview was able to open last week,
after being closed down for several
weeks. This institution had a small
reserve supply that will likely keep
the fires going for sometime. Direct
ors at Camp Hill expect to open on
Mondoy morning, while Lemoyne
officials will not express themselves
as to when they will open the doors.
Edward F. Raum, a member of the
Wormleysburg board said to-day
that this institution had enough
coal to keep school running this
week. Elkwood schools were forced
to close yesterday. New Cumber
land has enougli coal to keep the
fire burning for several weeks, a
director said to-day.
Mr. Myers said there was no dafi-
Ker of the United Electric Company
being forced to close down, its plant
having a good supply of fuel at the
present time. This concern fur
nished current for all West Shore
towns.
C. H. Bishop said this morning
that the company has enough coal
to keep the plant running until
March 1.

only those who were passing through

Tiie attitude of the Red Cross offi
cials here is that other necessities
than tobacco should first be purchased
with funds available, but that to
bacco is not. harmful.
