Home Via SSOO Bonds
Camp Meade. May 3. —Gus Cantor,
a private in the Three Hundred and
Fourteenth Infantry, but a business
man of Mount Carmel, Pa., as well,
hit upon a novel scheme of obtain
ing: a leave of absence from camp.
It la buying: a SIOO Liberty Bond for
every day wanted. Cantor wanted a
Tew days' leave of absence to at
tend to some personal business in
Mount Carmel, so he suggested to a
Liberty Bond salesman that he would
buy a SIOO Liberty Bond for every
day he would aid him in getting
away from camp. The salesman had
a talk with Cantor's company com
mander and succeeded in getting; the
soldier a pass for five days. Cantor
pulled out a checkbook and wrote a
check for SSOO, and he is now at
tending to his business affairs.

A. S. NEAL
The body of A. S. Neal, 1728 Lo
gan street, was found concealed in
some bushes in Wildwood Park, at
the upper end of the lake near the
boathouse, where he is thought to
have wandered while mentally de
ranged as a result of a continued
iliness of four years. He disappeared
from his home one month ago, leav
ing word that he would seek a home
in the mountains, and a, prolonged
search failed to reveal his where
abouts. The mountains north of the
city were scoured by friends arid
state police to no avail. Late yes
terday Mr. and Mrs. Willis Cooke
accidentally discovered the body
while gathering dandelion blossoms.
Foch's Appointment
Spur For New Tales
of French General j
London. —The appointment of Gen
eral Foch as generalissimo of the Al
lied forces has brought out a new
crop of stories about him. Some of
the best are related by M. Meunier-
Surcouf, Deputy from Saint-Brieuc,
who served for twenty months on
Foch's staff at the beginning of the
war.
"October 30, 1914," says M. Meun
ler-Surcouf, "General Foch learned
that the English cavalry had been
attacked by superior forces and had
had to give considerable ground to
the south of Ypres. The two points
of support were lost, the line had
been broken and the flank of Gen
eral Dubois was in danger. General
Foch hurried to St. Omer. arriving
at 1 o'clock in the morning.
"Marshal French was awakened.
" 'Marshal, your line is broken,'
said General Foch.
" 'Yes, the marshal replied.
" 'Have you any reserves?'
" 'I have nothing.'
Give* Own Reserve* to British
" 'All right,' said General Foch, 'I j
will give you mine. We must stop
the hole at once. If the line is
pierced at one point we will be lost,
because of the overwhelming num
bers of the enemy, i have eight bat
talions of the Thirty-second Division
that General Joffre has sent me.
Tame them and—Forward!'
"Marshal French was greatly
moved. He shook hands warmly
with General Foch, saying, 'lt is a
fine thing you have done for me.' At
2 o'clock the orders were given, the
gap was stopped and we were ad
vancing.
"Another time! It was to the
north of Ypres and the English had
been forced back. A division of the
First Corps was almost annihilated.
In vain Sir Douglas Halg charged at
the head of a brigade of the Guard.
His staff was killed and his trsops
were shot to pieces. He was obliged
to give way.
"General Foch hurried again to
Marshal French, whom he found at
Vlamerthingue November 1. General
Foch begged Marshal French to for
bid the retreat. Marshal French re
fused. He could do no more, he
said; his troops were worn out.
Snvea British Again
"Foch argued. He showed the
danger, the incalculable conse
quences of losing the battle. 'You
must hold!' he cried. 'Fight to the
death! You must never retreat in
full battle. The rout would be
frightful. To-day it would be a ca
tastrophe. Hold. I will come to
your aid.'
"While speaking he wrote on a
scrap .of paper he picked up from
the table his idea of what should be
done and passed it to the marshal.
The British general took the paper,
wrote on it. 'Execute the order of
General Foch,' signed it and gave it
to one of his officers.
"As soon as the orders were is
sued the English stopped their re
treat and counterattacked. We sup
ported them. The Germans were
stopped. They are still stopped."
Another of the anecdotes of M.
Meunier-Surcouf relates to General
Foch's method of choosing the mem
bers of his staff. It seems that at
the beginning of the war the colonel
of an infantry regiment called for a
sergeant to volunteer "for an ex
tremely perilous mission." Several
sergeants stepped from the ranks
and the colonel, picking one, said,
"Report for duty on the staff of Gen
eral Foch."

WaahlnKton.— "America will stand

same threat toward the Kaiser." said
Mr. Gerard, "that the Kaiser made
toward America when he received
me at his Potsdam palace in October,
1915. Force must be met with force,
and autocracy must be met with au

Rummage For Nursery
Home to Bring in Articles
Needed at Institution
Collection of waste for the Nur
sery Home will begin in the near
future, it was announced to-day by
officials in charge of the collection.
Thrift bags were recently distributed
throughout the city, the purpose be
ing to have people place their waste
in the bags. This waste will be sold
and the proceeds used for the sup
port of the Nursery Home.
The Nursery Hon)e, at 1321 South
Cameron street, Is a school for chil
dren below the age of fourteen
jears. The waste saved by Harrls
burg housewives will be sold at a
high figure, officials say, and it is es
timated that many children can be
supported with the money realized.
Commenting upon the campaign
for saving waste, a worker said to
day:
"No better movement than the
waste saving campaign could have
been launched to enlist all who are
interested in united efforts for the
common welfare. By this method
people come to realize what can be
accomplished by intelligent war on
waste.
"At the present time the country
is suffering from, an unprecedented
shortage of manufacturing ma
terials. There is also an alarming
falling off in contributions to char
ity at a time when charity demands
have greatly increased. The thrift
campaign accomplishes a two-fold
purpose in relieving both these con
ditions."
Tendency to
Constipation =====
USE THIS LAXATIVE!
Dietitian* advise a "careful diet," but that is trouble
some to most people; physical culturists advise "certain
exercises." which is good if one haa both the time and the
inclination. Doctors advise diet and exercise and medicine.
The question is. shall it be a cathartic or purgative med- >
icine? Or a mild, gentle laxative? y A(< jEt
Thousands have decided the question to their oWn satis-
faction by using a combination of simple laxative herb* f
with pepsin known to druggists as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. A small dose gives a free, easy movement of tha
bowels. It is the best substitute for nature herself. In fact; L
sine* the ingredients are wholly from the vegetable kingdom f.
it may truthfully be said it is a natural laxative.
Its positive but gentle action on the bowels makes it an t
ideal remedy for constipation. The dose is small, and it may '
be taken with perfect safety until the bowels are regulated and J
act again of thetf own accord. >
The drufgiat will refund your money it it tails to
do aa promised. '
