With a single application the complexion immediately becomes uiost wonderfully clear, pink and \outhful in appearance. if a little of the preparation, which comes in a delicate, creamy lurm, is gently rubbed on the face just before retiring or at some convenient time during the day vou can almost see the hungry skin eat up or absorb the cream which uoes not feel the least bit sticky ,j. greasy. 'inrough its tonic action on the skin the dormant facial muscles i evive, enlarged pores contract, lines, wrinkles and crows feet dis appear and the skin becomes clear and more girlish looking in ap pearance. Beauty Doctors say that it is the only treatment in the World that will actually remove wrinkles and make an old face look young 1 and beautiful. This old French Beauty Secret lias been plaaed on the market un der the name of Am-o-nized Coc_>a Cream and it can now be obtained from any good druggist. Instruc tions come with each package giv iig the proper method to employ for removing wrinkles, reducing enlarged pores, correcting flabby skin, sagging muscles, etc. l.ocal druggists are having a big call for Am-o-nized Cocoa Cream js many women have made them j-c-Ives look from 10 to 20 years • unger by its use. ■ H l Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and Fresh Every Day Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash out poisons. | ii ! Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work | veil, sleep well, look well. What a i glorious condition to attain, and yet: how very easy it is if one will Dnlyj adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise,; splitting headache, stuffy from cold,' foul tongue, nasty breath, acid s*.om- ( ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices ot the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal* pois- i onous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick, or wtll, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it to wash from 1 the "stomach, liver, kidneys and bow els the previous day's indigestible ; waste, sour bile, and poisonous tox-' ins: thus cleansing, sweetening and, puiifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an em pty stomach is wonderfully invigorat ing. It cleans out all the sour fer mentations. gases, waste and acidity nd gives one a splendid appetite 'or breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phos phate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flush ing of all the inside organs. The millions of people who ore bothered with constipation, bilious! spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter-pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro nounced crank on the subject of • internal sanitation.—Adv.

She lived at home and paid no board. The firm called her into the office and asked her whether she {iad bought or intended to buy a Liberty Bend. The girl repiied that she couldn't afford it. "Well," said the head of the ilrm. "so that you can afford it Ve are going to give you an in crease. of SI a week —and we want you to buy a. Bond." So the yoiuig lady went back to her position, and there told other employes that she had made the tlrm "come across." "i forcetf them to give me a raise," she declared. So the ih'm fired her. Harrisburg employers are look ing with suspicion on the person or persons able to buy Bonds who are not buying Bonds—just as the farmer looks with suspicion at one rotten apple in a barrel of good ones. the mills, factories, shops and stores of the city. To-night this committee will make its first report at the Har risburg Club, when total subscriptions not only of all employes seen so far, but all employers will be returned. Some interesting figures are ex pected. Xcw Hundred ,I'eioent.

Significant, but notj I surprising, for although Mr. Moes-j ! lein speaks English indifferently he; 1 is recognized now as the soul of pa triotism, taking part in every activity i leading to the overthrow of his na-.j i tive land. He has swung with the! ' great mass of Americans to the only; | logical conclusion, that Kaiserismj j must not prevail.

HJLRRISBUftG TELEGRAPH PENNA. DIVISION IS ON ITS TOES ; E. J. Stackpole Tells Rotarians Soldiers He Saw in Camp Are Anxious to Fight "The morale of the men in the training camps is high. Their one (ear is that they may not set to France in time for a part in the war. They know full well what the Hun lias done and why we are in the war and they are anxious to light. It re mains for us at home to do our part, to keep our spirits up and to do our utmost to provide everything in abundance which our soldiers need. I can assure you, after a visit to the camps, that the soldiers are all that we can ask and that they have their eyes on us back home and desire nothing so much as that we do our full part; and, that done, who can doubt the ultimate result?"

Engln-*ring, Infantry and other branches ot the service. He said the men are confident of themselves and of their ability to win and that they expect the folks at home to stand solidly behind them. He read several stanzas from Rud yard Kipling on "Teamwork" which he said was necessary between the men at the front and those at home if the war is to be won quickly and without unnecessary sacrifice: It ain't guns, nor armament.

Tracy, president of the Ilarrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Company and ex-president of the Chamber of Commerce, has been appointed a Knight of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great by Pope Benedict XV. This distinguished honor has come to Mr. Tracy by reason of his many useful activities i as a citizen and churchman. It is a custom for the head of the Catholic church to accord a mark of honor and distinction to Catholic laymen in different parts of the world who are of unblemished char acter and who are deeply interested in the welfare of the civic commu nity as well as in the progress of religion. In the case of Mr. Tracy. Pope Benedict XV has conferred upon liini the title of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great. This honor was instituted by Pope Gregory XVI in the year 1831. who placed the order under the patron age of Saint Gregory the Great, who was pope at the close of the sixth century. Mr. Tracy belongs to the civil di- i vision of the order. The recipient of the decoration is entitled to wear an eight-pointed enamel, d gold cross in the center of which is a blue me dallion on which is impressed in gold the image of Saiht Gregory, and at the side of the head near the right ear is ' a dove; in a circle | around the image appears in golden letters "S Gregorious Magnus." The badge is the cross of the order sur-, rounded with silver rays. The rib bon of the order is red with orange borders. Mr. Tracy has had an active part in all the civic work in Harrisburg for a number of years and in addi tion to his fine Chamber of Com merce record he is always remem bered with appreciation by the citi zens of Harrisburg for his efficient work as a former president of the old Board of Public Works. His friends throughout the city are con gratulating him to-day upon the high honor which lias come to him and it is a common remark that the Pope could not have conferred this distinguished honor upon one more worthy to receive it. The Rt. Rev. A. F. Kaul. of Lan caster. who was ordained to the priesthood in Lancaster by the first Bishop Shanahan, has had conferred upon him the honors of domestic prelate, with the rank of monsignor.

Rupture Kills 7,000 Annually Seven thousand persons each year are laid away—the burial certificates being: marked "Rupture." Why? Be cause the unfortunate ones had neg lected themselves or had been merely taking care of the sign (swelling) of the aflliction and paying no attention to the cause. What are you doing'.' Are yon neglecting yourself by wear ing a truss, appliance, or whatever name, you choose to call it? At best, the truss is only a makeshift—a false prop against a collapsing wall—and cannot be expected to act as more than a mere mechanical support.
