sOYS AND GIRLS
ENROLL RAPIDLY
IN JR. RED CROSS
Teachers Take l'p Important
Work With Much En
thusiasm
While not all of the teachers in
the Harrisburg and Dauphin county [
Schools are forming Junior Red I
Pross chapters the memberships are
Colling; in at a surprising rate, ac
cording to word received by Mrs.
Lyman D. Gilbert to-day. Super
intendent Downes of the city schools
and Superintendent Shambaugh of
the county schools are urging ac
tivity on the part of all the teachers.
President Wilson and r>r. Nathan
C. Schaeffer, the latter the superin
tendent of public instruction for the
state, have endorsed the Junior Red
Cross in no small way.
The majority of the school
teachers of the city and county are i
connected with the lied Cross in
some manner; and hence their ac
tivity in behalf of the Junior Red
Cross is a natural one.
Banner (iocs to Some School
As pointed out above, a very
Kindsome banner is to be given the
:Harrisburg school room which en
trolls the largest Chapter meniber
iship before Washington's birthday.
[This banner was donated by a well
[known Harrisburg man who has !
[four or five children of his own and :
who says that he wants every one \
of them to belong to the Junior
Red Cross.
| There are no rules or regulations ;
[regarding this contest, other than
that the memberships must be bona
: tide and the teacher's statement will
be final.
i The contest will close February
22, so far as the banner is con
kerned, and the announcement of!
khe prize-winning school rooms will (
Be made the following day.
Bk McNeil's Cold Tablets. Adv.l
Interested asks: "I am constipat
ed, tongue Coated, have headache,
dizzy spells and indigestion some-
Mines. Please advise?"
Answer: I advise that you begin
t sing three-grain sulpherb tablets
• not sulphur i. These tablets are
laxative, act cn the liver, kidneys
and bowels and tend to keep the blood
pure, by arousing tiie eliminative
functions. Itelief should follow
nuickly.
"Manager" writes: "I have pains
in my spine and frightful headache in
hack of head, fainting spells, twitch
ing and trembling. nervousness,
sleeplessness, loss of appetite and
strengtli. and In fact am a "lias been,'
when it comes to performing accus
tomed work and duties."
Answer: "In all such cases the as
similative functions have not kept
place with waste functions and a pow
erful harmless tonic treatment is
needed. I find three-grain cadomene
tablets unexcelled and astonishingly
beneficial in such cases and advise
them for you.
"Jane" says: "Some time ago I
contracted a very severe cold and
cough. I have tried many remedies,
but they do not seem to help me at
all. I wish you would advise me
what to do."
Answer: What you need is a laxa
tive cough syrup, one that will drive
the cold from your system. The fol
lowing orescriptfbn will cheek your
cold and cough: Get a 2~-oz. pack
age of concentrated essence mentho
laxene and make according to direc
tions on the bottle. Take n teaspoon
fut every hour or two or until your

Washington Makes Effort
to Untangle Tuscania
Names Garbled in Sending
Washington, Feb. It. —Cablegrams
are going forward to the American
embassy in Ijondon from the War
Department to-day in an effort to
complete the list of Tuscania sur
vivors and untangle names which
have been garbled in transmission.
latest advices to the department
continue to indicate that few more
American soldiers were lost than the
161 already reported buried in Scot
land. Reports place the American
dead at not more than 170. although
the list of saved is far from com
plete. About 260 of those on the pas
senger list still are unaccounted for.
but the department has a number of
names of survivors it has been un
able to decipher. Some of these are
supposed to be duplications and some
names of men of whom there is no
record.
The Associated Press list of unre
ported. made by checking both of
ficial and unofficial advices against
the passenger list, stands at 171.

The questions answered below are
general In character, the symptoms or
diseases are given and the answers
will apply in any case of similar na
ture.
Those wishing further advice, free,
mav address Dr. Baker, College
Bldg.. Co! lege-El wood streets, Dayton.
Ohio, enclosing self-addressed stamp
ed envelope for reply. Full name and
address must be given, but only Ini
tials or fictitious names will be used
in my answers. The prescriptions
can be filled at any well-stocked drug
store. Any druggist can order of
wholesaler.
cold is better. This will relieve you
in a very few days.
Celia asks: "My hair is too oily
and my scalp itches with dandruff,
and of late it is coming out too much.
What is a good treatment?."
Answer: Obtain plain yellow
minyol from your druggist in 4-oz.
jars and apply as per directions.
This cleans, purifies, cools and invig
orates the hair and scalp, thus stop
ping the death of the hair. Dandruff
and itching are at once relieved. Men
and women all over the country now
use it regularly.
"Worried" writes: "Have been doc
toring for kidney trouble and now
want your advice. Frequent desire
is followed by burning pain and am
very tender and sore over region of
bladder. Also backache affects me
dreadfully. Can hardly move when I
awake in the morning. Weakness,
too, is a symptom."
Answer: I think if you will take
br.lmwort tablets regularly for a few
weeks your kidneys and bladder will
become normal and such symptoms
vanish. This is unequaled for such
complaints in my estimation.
NOTE: For many years Dr. Baker
has been giving free advice and pre
scriptions to millions of people
through the press columns, and doubt
less has helped in relieving illness and
distress more than any single indi
vidual in the world's hlstoryi Thou
sands have written him expressions
of gratitude and confidence similar to
the following:
Dr. Lewis Baker. Dear Sir:—We
have used three of the medicines you
advise, th? double four, the essence
nientho-laxene and the rheumatism
prescriptions, and 1 want to say they
all worked like a charm. They are the
best I have ever used and I feel I
could not keep house without them. I
am very grateful and pleased to rec
ommend any of these medicines pre
scribed. Verv truly yours.

WOUNDED MEN AT
FOR TOBACCO FIRST OF ALL
Soldiers in France Find Solace in Weed When Sear Death:
Picture Taken by Official Canadian War Bureau
Thousands of brave women have
given up all lightsome life to help
win this war by nursing the unfor
tunate men who are wounded or ill
with disease. Taken in every coun
try. although we seem to hear little
about the German women in this
work, there are perhaps half a mil
lion women engaged, in some acti
vity connected with the war. The
woman nurse is eminently better
fitted for this duty than man. This
has been proved. A kind, heartful
smile from a woman puts the suf
ferer "in instant touch with thoughts
of home, love and loyalty. It is the
testimony of a great many of these
nurses, in their letters home that
tobacco is such a delight to the
wounded that no one. however
gifted, could describe their emotion:
< >ne woman, a head nurse some
where in France in correspondence
with an old friend, tells of an in
stance something like the one il
lustrated here. The soldier had been
shot in both legs and was on the
way to have them amputated. The
case was very serious, in fact, the
chances 100 to one against the crip
pled man. There was, for some rea
son or other, a lack of anaesthetic
and this soldier was bearing the in
tense pain with difficulty. Suddenly
