American Women Get
Old French Beauty Secret j
Six years ago a well-known so
ciety lady while traveling in
i-ranee ran across an old French
receipt used by ancient beauties ;
u inch allowed a process for com
bining the well-known beautifying
• ils (.Alnjond, Palm, Cocoanut anil
■ live oils) with other nourishing
• übstauces. so that when applied
,o the skin, it quickly brought
aiioui an almost magical tranator
u-.ation.
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

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.

JUST A LITTLE
STORY
Jn a Harrisburg business es
tablishment was a young woman
who received sl2 a week. 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. Way
It was announced this morning by
Lor.n hetdquarter3 that the Mc-
Creath laboratories of this city are ,
not only "Hundred Percenters" in
; that every employe and firm mem
i ber owns a Liberty Bond, but each
I Bond has been paid for in full.
Tire Company linyx
i It was reported by C. H. Markley.
j 1010 Xovth Third street, this morning
that the United States Rubber Com
pany, for the United States Tire Com
pany, has bought $5,000 worth of
Bonds through Harrisburg. Mr.
Markley represents the tire company,
which bought $1,500,000 through the
New York headquarters and assigned
$1,000,000 to the various cities in
j which its agencies are located.
Patriotic Sunday (.'timing
J A patriotic observance in honor of
; the Harrisburg men who are in serv
| ice at home and abroad will feature
! next Sunday. It will be ' Honor Sun
: day" and the committee, of which
| Henderson Gilbert is chairman, is
j making great plans for its observ

the large majority of Harrisburg

1 >ltf Quirk Action
"If the Allies had lost the war.
and if a German tax collector an- j
| nounced that lie would sit at the j
(Courthouse on a certain morning;
j ready to receive Harrisburg's pro- |
| rata share of the German indemnity i
I fund, I imagine that recalling the
' experiences of Belgium and parts ot j:
I France, the majority of Harrisburg!:
! citizens would bo l.ned up waiting j
to pay. hours before the window
opened," said Andrew S. Patterson
this mornng.
"It would seem to me that the
same qu'ck action should occur now.
There is> every reason why we should
j buy our Bonds immediately—and not
; wait for a solicitor. Wc urge quick j

GERMAN TONGUE IS
DYING NATURAL DEATH
[Continued front First Page.]
i erty Bond industries when a Tele-|
i graph reporter inquired what effect |
; the war would have on German I
! speaking here. 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.
"When the German-American Al-j
! liance recently declared itself dissolv
-1 td and gave its treasury to the Red.;
I Cross, the local organization auto
matically disappeared." said he, "al-j
| though we have not broke up formal
lv the Maennerchor Society. However. >
i that does not amount to much. It
, | has been dwindling away for years;
1 until now there are only twenty|
! members, old fellows like myself who
ij are rot skillful in speaking English, j
j The younger generation does not join;

. a natural death very soon.
Plan For Democracy
Mr. Moeslein has received the com-'
! munlcation of the Friends of Ger->
! man Democracy, the purpose ofj
I which is to further democracy by
: aiding the people to establish in Ger-j
many a government responsible to;
j the people, but he has not signed the:
! petition and is no' ureatly interestedi
lin it. He hatdiy thinks it necessary I
'! to identify himself with thisorganlza-1
tion which calls on American citizens |
! of German stock to assert manhood;
, by refuting this statement of the|
Kaiser:
"Ever, now T rule supreme in the
I United State", where almost one-lialf,
-i of the population is either of Ger-j
1 : n-.an birth or German descent, nndi
where 3.000,000 voters do my bid
j ding at the presidential elections. No j
' | American administration could re
■ . main in power against the will of;
[ the German voters who through that]
j admirable organization, the German-
Amlrican National League of the
[ | United States of America, control the!
' | destinies of the vast republic be-|
"| yond the sea. If a man was over
t; worthy of a high decoration at my
! hands it was Herr Dr. Hexamer, the
'president of the league, who may
I I justly be termed to be. by my grace.
1 the acting ruler of all the Germans
' \ in the United States."
"German speaking will go very
rapidly now." predicted the- veteran
1 pioneer. "Nothing can be done for
it. My three boys speak it some, but
5 my grandchildren who live with me;
1 cannot speak a word of it. They;
* used o teach It in the schools but;
i now the children prefer French or;
r | Spanish. I. too. must learn it better.
" although I a mold. I can understan 1
1 i it pretty well, the Engi'sh. except
} when they use such high words. I
? could understand evervthing that Pi>t
O'Brien said 4he other night. It
8 was fine. But Dr. Bagnell-—he was
hard for me; he used so many high
1 words."
As to the change in German lan -
SUMP in churches he also foretold
! that it would presently disappear.
' At present serrnon9 in German are
preached Sunday morning In the
| German Catholic Churches and the
Oermon Lutheran; F.ns'ish sermons
tin '.he evening. "But the yoting
, folks are against this," added Mr.
Moesiein, with a suggestion of *e
eret, "and it won't be lons before the
German is no longer heard in a Har
risburg church."
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?"
Thus E. J. Stackpole, who has just
returned from a visit to the Keystone
Division encampment in Georgia,
spoke byway of summing up his
impressions of that trip in an ad
dress before the Ilarrisburg Rotary
Club at noon to-day in the V. M.
C. A.
Mr. Stackpole described at length
the gruelling training to which the
Pennsylvania boys are being sub
jected, told how they are living the
life of the soldier in forty miles of
trenches constructed just as the
trenches are in France, how they
UJO the rifle and the bayonet and
tho splendid co-operation between
the Artillery. 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.
Nor funds that they can pay.
But the close co-operatiort
That makes them win the day.
It ain't the individuals.
Nor the Army as a whole,
But the everlastiu' teamwork
Of every bloomin' soul.
Sir. Stackpole. by invitation of i'
C. Linford Scott, the superintendent,
will repeat the address before the i
men of the liarrisburg Boiler and I
Manufacturing Company, at the
plant to-morrow afternoon.

Honored With Order of Saint
Gregory For Many Civic
and Church Activities

J)AVID E. TRACY
David E. 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. The
binding pressure retards blood circu
lation, thus robbing the weakened
muscles of that which they need most
—nourishment.
But science has fojund a way. and
every truss sufferer in the land is in
vited to make a FREE test right in
the privacy of their own home. The
PLAPAO method is unquestionably
the most scientitic. logical and suc
cessful self-treatment for rupture the
world has ever known.
The PLAPAO PAD when adhering
closely to the body cannot possibly
slip or shift out of place, therefore,
cannot chafe or pinch. Soft as velvet
—easy to apply—inexpensive. To be
