20 IfANKEE THANKS HOME FOLKS FOR TOBACCO Lad at Front Writes Back Telling of Need For American Tobacco Sun Just won't be solemn When it sees the column Wheeling into line; Knows a way that's fitter, Starts right in to glitter, Simply has to shine. Moon just won't be cranky When It sees tlie Yankee Marching off to France; . Kvery moonbeam, happy, Feels so proud and scrappy, Simply has to dance. Keep the Sammees scrappy and proud by unloosening your purse and contributing a mite to the Tele graph Tobacco Fund. You have no idea what relish the soldier in France gets from real American to bacco. Recent letters tell that French tobacco is practically not to be procured, so that If a supply does not arrive constantly from home tlie jr.en suffer for it. "I am writing this, smoking one of the 200 cig arets that you were so kind to send over," writes a sergeant in the ma chine gun corps. "If you smoke, you will understand liow sincere are my thanks. I have been stationed in a remote spot for six weeks and had nothing that even looked like a smoke. Sometimes, at night partic ularly, I thought I would nearly go crazy hungering for just one pulf. With American tobacco to comfort one there is no # chance of homesick ness and it helps toward content ment in general." A lad from Texas who had been stationed in an ex posed height to intense cold in ac knowledging a pack of 300 smokes says he got down on his knees anu prayed for the person who made that contribution. OVEHHEATF.n I'M K CAtSKOF Flit 10 I\ CAUHIAOI. SHOP An overheated flue caused a small fire in the woodwork in a corner of the second floor of the carriage works of Charles A. Fair, at the east end of the Mulberrv street bridge, this morn ing. Th" flue passes through the woodwork from the small stove in ihe office on the tirst floor. Damage was confined to the woodwork, ana was slight. T.arnar Fair, son of C. A. I' air, dis covered the blaze while crossing the street to enter bis father's carriage works. He ran into the building and called his father, while another boy pulled an alarm at box 25, Crescent and Mulberry streets. 2.-> YEARS IX BUSINESS An American flag and a service flag containing twenty-two stars will be unfurled at tlie plant of the J.a iance-Grosjean Company in commem oration of the twenty-fifth anniver sary of the founding of the plant.

ENGINE WRECKED AT READING DEPOT [Continued from First Page-] the furnace of the engine, gave the J aspect of tire, and an alarm was ! pulled from box 41, at the station at 10.30 o'clock. Fell Off Train It is said that the Levan boy had jumped on a car of coal attached to ; a train that was moving out of the ; yards toward liutlierford. He was on the car, pushing coal off the side, in order to pick it up for home use. it was said by his brother that the fam ily Was without coal and the mother was suffering. They bad been unable to secure coal from city dealers. The boy lost his footing, fell off the mov ing car and in his scramble upon landing, got his left arm under the wheel. It was crushed by the heavy wheel and hospital physicians said this morning that as soon as he re. covers from the shock it will be am putated at the elbow. Engine 1020, which was at work in the yard at the time, was discon nected from its train and started back to the passenger station with the injured lad. The hospital ambu lance was ordered to report at the station to receive the boy. Out of Control It is thought that the engineer misjudged the distance because of the snow when he approached the station, for passengers and employes at the station foresaw the accident by the speed of tlie approaching en gine and jumped for safety. There was a report at the station after the accident that the engineer lost his head and fainted at sight of the wounded boy. Another report said the brakes refused to work. The engine, which approached the station backwards, crashed through the bumper, the iron gate and the end of the trainshed, throwing steam and smoke throughout the. station and the American Express Comnany office, situated next to the passenger platform, through which the engine crashed. A pillar, beside the back of the bumper over which the engine passed, was splintered by the force of the impact. Frank S. Levan. brother of the injured boy, was in the cab of the engine attached to the train that ran over his brother, and accompa nied him back to the station. He received a number of bruises when ■the engine crashed into the station. He is employed at Steelton by the railroad company. It was said at the hospital after the accident that both victims will recover. A Dead Stomach Of What Use Is It? Thousands? yes hundreds of thou sands of people throughout America arc taking the slow death treatment daily. They are murdering their own stomach, the best friend they have, nnd in their suhlimc 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 of 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 tho digestive membrane of the stomach. Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve distressed stomach In live • minutes; they do more. Taken regularly for ■ i 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. Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by druggists everywhere and hy 11. C. Kennedy, who guarantees them.
