Uy to Union—The Shamokin and

hearing before Public Service Com
missioner Billing,' late yesterday,
that it could not enforce an order of
the commission to give excess fare
certificates for six-cent fares because
the trolleymen's union, of which
their employes are members, had
forbidden it. The question of whe
ther such a reason could be held
sufficient for not carrying out the
order was raised. The original com
plaint against the fare, was brought
by the miners committee of Mt. Car
mel and vicinity' which also com
plained that the order for certifi
cates was not being carried out.
Members of the trolleymen's union
intimated to-day that they would

Pungent Song About
Kaiser Hun Bill
If ever the Kaiser wakes up long
enough to look at the following song
he'll feel like doing things to Andrew
B. Sterling and Arthur Lange, the
writers of a new song just out, called
"What'll We Do With Him, Boys?"
Here is a part of the song's rip
loaring chorus:
What'll We Do With Him,
Boys?
Akdiiw B. Sterling. Arthvr Langs.
What we do with him, boys? What-'ll we
do, . . 1 L die oo • die

Of course, the idea is to catch the
Kaiser first. A few pacifists think
this impossible. But Sterling and
Lange, being no pacifists, have al
ready done so in their ludicrous song
which is being universally sung in
Greater New York.
Tonall Health Talk;
A Disordered Liver
SIfiNS Til \T CANNOT HE MISTAKEN
A bad liver leaves poisonous bile
in the blood, which disarranges the
whole human system. The complex
ion takes on a yellow hue, loss of
appetite follows, then a dry cough
or a liver chill. There is indigestion,
fullness, fermentation, flatulency
and an oppression in the stomach.
The tongue is coated, the headaches,
depressed spirits and spells of weak
ness and dizziness. The bowels are
constipated and loose by turns. The
skin shows the poisonous state blood
by pimples, blotches and liver spots.
In sympathy with the liver, the'
kidneys become clogged and pains
in the back and under the shoulder
blades occur.
Shortness of breath, palpitation of
the heart and many other symptoms
of liver complaint appear.
Do not wait unOl all these symp
toms come, before beginning treat
ment. The liver must have assist
ance, prompt action is necessary to
relieve the body of these poisons.
The liver and kidneys need to be
strengthened and invigorated.
Tonall nets promptly on both these
great filtering functions, and has a
wonderful reputation as an efficient
treatment for liver derangement. No
poisonous drugs (see Prof. Beck's
analysis wrapped with every bottle).
Tonall is sold at Gorgas' Drug
Store. Harrisburg. Pa., where the
Tonall chemist will explain Its merits.

Try This If You
Have Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
falls to remove dandruff completely
and that Is to dissolve it. This de
stroys it entirely. To do this, Just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub It in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft,
and look and feel a hundred times
better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
ple remedy has never been known
to fay
STEELTON NEWS ITEMS
STEELTON MAN
IS CANDIDATE
Charles W. McCoy, Prominent
Resident, Recommended
on "Dry" Platform
Charles W. McCoy, Harrisburg
street, a prominent social and wel
fare worker, has been recommended
as a candidate the Genfcral As
sembly on a "dry" platform by the
executive committee of the Church
Federation of the borough. A spe
cial meeting of the Council of the
Church Federation will bo held Mon
day evening, April 15, for the pur
pose of making formal endorsement
of the candidate. Mr. McCoy is well
known in Steelton and has been in
fluential in building up the Boy
Scout move here.
The Rev. H. H. Rupp, pastor of
■the First Reformed Church and
president of the Federation, this
morning Issued the following state
ment:
"After careful consideration of the
political situation and the merits o£
several prospective candidates, tho
executive committee of the Church
Federation of Steelton, at a meet
ing Tuesday evening, unanimously
decided to recommend the candidacy
of Charles W. McCoy, of Steelton, for
the General Assembly, on a "dry' 1
platform, and calls a special meeting
of the Council of the Church Fede
ration for Monday evening, April 15,
for the purpose of making formal
endorsement.
Mr. McCoy has the esteem of every
one in Steelton, being one of its
most popular citizens. He is the
president of the Dauphin County
Building and Loan Association, an
active member of the Municipal Lea
gue and chief scoutmaster of the
Boy Scouts. In the latter capacity
he has tet only effected an organi
zation which is the pride of Steelton,
but he has exerted an influence
among the boy 3 for good which is
greatly appreciated by the parents.
"When the Y. M. C. A. was or
ganized some years ago, he was sec
retary to the board of directors, and
is still connected with that organiza
tion. He is vice-president of the
Steelton district of the Dauphin
Countv Sabbath Schoo.l Association
and through his work along Sunday
school lines is widely known
throughout the county. He is an
elder in the First Beformed Church
of Steelton; is treasurer of the con
sistory, and for the past ten years
has been the efficient superintendent
of the Sunday school of that church,
making it a 'front lin' school. He
is very active in the Church Federa
tion of Steelton, being a member of
the council, secretary of the com
mission on social service, perhaps
the most important commission on
the church federation.
"Thoug ha native of Cumberland
county he has been a resident of
Steelton for the past twenty-eight
years, all that time having been con
nected with the steel compajiy and
at present holding the position of
assistant foreman in the templet
shop, bridge and construction divi
sion. He is a property holder, has
two married sons, and a daughter in
the Steelton High school.
"Mr. McCoy is not without politi
cal experience. Three years ago he
was a candidate for the office of bur
gess of Steelton. on an independent
Republican ticket. He made a splen
did fight, and though he was with
out political backing of any kind, he
not only carried his own ward
against the 'machine' by a large ma
jority, but came within a hundred
votes of winning the election. His
strength as shown in that campaign
was both a cause for gratification on
the part of his friends and a source
of amazement on the part of his
political opponents,
"As Mr. McCoy is a straightfor
ward, clean, upright. Christian gen
tleman, it is safe to predict that he
will have the support of the vo ers
of the county pretty generally, irre
spective! of party affiliations."

service in the First Reformed Church

Old Sleuth Is Back on Job,
With Whiskers and All
Now York—lzzy the Dip was
calmly pursuing his chosen profession
i of picking poekets. He balanced his
; neat bamboo cane lightly between
| his well manicured fingers and look
ed scornfully at the old man before
! him.
"Izzv the Dip I have you In my
power," said the old man.
"And who are you?" demanded
Izzy.
t "Old Sleuth, the famous detective,
said tlie cold man calmly removing
, his goggles and Rivington street lace
I curtains.
No, this is not a mental relapse to
! the days when we used to put the
jlO cent classics inside of our geog
raphies and follow the villain and
the hero when we were supposed
to be chasing the forty-fifth parallel
of latitude around a Taftlike globe.
It is a page torn from yesterday's
police blotter. Honest Injun!
Three men were jostling passen
gers in a crowded elevated train that
was going over the Williamsburg
i Bridge yesterday. In the corner a
i harmless looking old man pretended
! to read the music note type of an
I Kast Side paper. He wore blue gog
: gles and a set of whiskers that would
have been the envy of the late Sen
ator Pfeffer. Suddenly a green motor-
I man tripped up the train at Marcy
j avenue with that peculiar hesitation
j lick on the air brake that always in
| dlcates that the regular motorman
i has a day off.
The old man with the goggles
| seized the three men; yes sir, all of
j them at once.
At the same time he flashed—
j never mind how he held three men
! and flashed anything at the same
| time, it's part of the story— a shield
| showing that he was a detective. The
I men fought, but the old man with
j the goggles and the lace curtains
; hung on until a patrolman came to
j help him.
| Then they landed in the Bedford
avenue police station three men who
said that they were Isador Chaust of
1041 Bryant avenue,Tho Bronx;
Abraham Feldberg of 36 West 113 th
and Louis Myers, of 201 Seventh
street, Manhattan.
W hen all this had been done the
old man with the goggles explained
that wearing goggles and whiskers
was not his regular business and
that he was really on clean shaven,
goggleless days Detective George
Patten of the Seventh division. He
charged the men with attempted
grand larceny and said he was rid
ing about in disguise looking for
pickpockets when he ran across
the three men.

Premature Old Age
Can Be Avoided When We
Obey Nature's Laws
One of the most fruitful'causes of
old age that comes too soon is an im
poverished condition of the blood.
There may be many causes for this
condition, but in most cases, the
victim is more concerned with results
and relief. Impaired digestion and
nervous exhaustion are the result of
neglected anaemia, or starvation of
the blood.
The logical relief is to build up the
richness of the blood— not to try to
whip the weakened nerves and
muscles into unwilling action.
One element upon which tho blood
largely depends is Iron. This is
found in a most active and condensed
form In Dr. Chase's Blood and Nerve
Tablets, compounded with Nux Vom
ica. Gentian and other remedies that
build up blood and nerves alike. These
tablets are unlike other tonics be
cause they stimulate only by feeding
the blood the nourishment it lacks
The action of DR. CHASE'S
BIJX)D AND NERVE TABDETS is so
positive, so ronfarkable in effect, that
patients are urged to weigh them
selves before taking them, and then
watch their monthly increase In
weight. Price 60 cents; Special
Strength (stronger and more active)
90 cents.
