Commission Confirmed Him
at Star Chamber Session;
He Sends Resignation
People at the State Capitol were
dazed to-day by an announcement
from Secretary of Agriculture Charles
K. Patton, that, the State Commission
of Agriculture had confirmed the ap
pointment of E. 13. Dorsett, of Mans
field, as chief of markets after all.
The secretary's explanation was that
the action was taken at "an adjourn
ed meeting" after the commission had
adjourned its prolonged session in
the Governor's office when- Dr.

Cleveland, O. —No wife has a right
to let her husband drink; for alcohol
ism is a disease and a drunkard is a
sick man. says Druggist Brown, of
Cleveland. A woman can cure this
disease—stop a drinking husband in
a few weeks for half what he would
spend on liquor in the same time.
The habit can be broken and the
disease cured. Thousands of cases
prove it and every community lias its
reformed drunkard. Druggist Brown I
says the right time to stop the drink
habit is at its beginning, Left to run
its course it will deaden the fine sen
sibilities of the man you love. Begin
with the first whiff of liquor on his
breath, but do not despair if he has
already gone from bad to worse until
he has become a rum-soaked sot.
Druggist Brown knows the curse of
strong drink for he himself has been
a victim. A loving sister, without his
knowledge or consent, rescued him
from the brink of a drunkard's grave,
and for ten years kept her secret.
She saved him from drink—rescued

FRTDAY EVENING, HXRmSBURG TELEGRItPH FEBRUARY 8, 1918.
Brumbaugh left them to nettle theii:-
troubles and where Dorsett whh given
a hearing. Where, why and how the
adjourned meeting was held the sec
retary did not say except to remark
that he was not at it when action
was taken and no explanation of the
holdup of the announcement was
vouchsafed.
When the announcement of confir
mation of Dorsett had been allowed
to sink in Mr. Patton announced that
Dorsett had resigned to take effect
March 1.
"Have you accepted it?" was asked
"I have not. but I probably will,"
was the answer.
Dorsett is out making speeches in
beliHlf of the state marketing cam
paign. but has not been paid and
there is slim chance of him getting
any pay for a while. Since he has
been confirmed he will be paid eventu
ally. but not until the Supreme Court
passes upon the legality of the Patton
appointment by the Governor after
rejection by the Senate. Then he will
be reimbursed.
There are hints to-day that the
commissioners abated opposition so
that they would not hit the Governor,
who backed Dorsett, and so that he
could get paiil some time. A number
of high Officials opposed Dofsett from
the start.
him from his own depraved, besotted
self by giving him a secret remedy,
and formula of an old German chem
ist. To pay his debt to her and help
other victims out of the murk and
mire he has made the formula public.
Druggists everywhere dispense il
daily as Prepared Tescum Powders
put up in doses. Get it from your own
druggist and drop a powder twice a
day in tea, coffee, milk or other drink.
Soon liquor does not taste the same,
tliQ craving for it disappears and 10,
one more drunkard has been saved
and knows not when or why he lost
his taste for drink.
Warning Note:—Tescum should be
given only where it is desirable to de
stroy all taste for alcohol and all
pleasure in its use. Those who en
courage moderate drinking should not
give it until the so-called moderate
drinker reaches the danger line as
most of them do in time. Druggist
Brown has such confidence in prepar
ed Tescum Powders that he personally
guarantees results or he .will refund
out of his own pocket the price charg
ed by the dispensing druggist. It is
sold in Harrisburg by J. Nelson Clark.

NEWS OF STEELTON
THAW BENEFICIAL
TO STEEL PLANT
Enables Borough Highway De
partment to Rush Snow
Removal Program
The two days' thaw has been bene
ficial to the borough in many ways.
It relieved the congestion of cars In
the yards of the steel plant and
opened up the streets enough to per
mit the resumption of garbage col
lections.
A force of men, the garbage truck
and several wagons are working
daily to remove the snow from Front
street. This work is expected to be
completed in several days and then
the garbage collections will be re
sumed.
The refuse and ashes have been
piling up considerably and residents
are getting restless. Members of the
Highway Committee request that
residents put up with a little Incon
venience until the snowcleaning pro
gram is completed. Unless there is
another heavy snow, it will be pos-'
sible to resume collections regularly
in a week, officials claim.
At the steel plant the thaw en
abled the transportation department
to loosen up the freight car conges
tion to a great extent. Freezeups
were also repaired and the steam
power improved.
A request for the removal of
icicles from buildings was made by
tile police to-day. Tills action has
been taken to prohibit injury or loss
of life to pedestrians.
The demand for' coal was not as
great during: the last two days as
it had been for several weeks. Coal
dealers are very optimistic over the
situation, believing that Kteelton will
get more coal if the railroads open
up.

Christians Is to supply the smiles. '
His address was an appeal for the
optimistic attitude toward life.
A feature was a prayer service for
the fifty men of the church ,in the

France" and enroute. Refreshments

MEANING OF "SINN FEIN"
"Sinn Fein" (pronounced Shinn
Fain) is a Celtic expression meaning
"ourselves alone," and is the name
and motto of an Irish party which
construes it as meaning both for and
by the Irish alone. It dates actively
from 1906 and claims to be more
practical and comprehensive than
any of the old parties that have
aimed at Irish independence or self
government. Among other things, It
proposes to establish a purely Irish
parliament, army and navy, mint,
civil and consular service .judiciary
and school system; also the economic
reorganization of Ireland by its own
people on a purely Irish basis, in
cluding merchant marine, stock ex
change, banks, etc.; all official and
business matters and correspondence
to be conducted in Gaelic, the use of
English language to be boycotted in
public offices, schools and business.
These and many other interesting re
sults are to be accomplished by pas
sive means and peaceable methods.
It is not stated exactly how, but by
some kind of social and political
pressure without violence.

A Dead Stomach
Of What Use Is It?
Thousands? yes hundreds of thou
sands of people throughout America
are taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are murdering their own
stomach, the best friend they have,
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws
of nature.
This is no sensational statement:
it is a startling fact, the truth of
which any honorable physician will
not deny.
These thousands ot people are
swallowing daily huge quantities of
pepsin and other strong digesters,
made especially to digest the food
in the stomach without any aid at all
from the digestive membrane of the
stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve
distressed stomach in live minutes;
they do more. Taken regularly for
a few weeks they build up the run
down stomach and make It strong
enough to digest its own food. Then
indigestion, belching, sour stomach
and headache will go.
Ml-o-na stomach tablets are sold
by druggists everywhere and by H.
C. Kennedy, who guarantees them.
