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

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.
