YANKEE HEROES,
PERSHING'S MEN,
IN U.S. HOSPITAL
Twenty-three Are Sick and
Weary, but Anxious to
Get Back
Philadelphia, May B.—Grimly de
termined and anxious* to get back,
twenty-three of General Pershing's
fighting men. all bearing evidence of
their encounters with the Huns,
passed through Philadelphia yester
day afternoon on the way to the
Army Hospital at Lakewood.
"Yankee Devils" is the name ap
plied by the Germans to the daunt
less American warriors and batter
ed heroes from "over there," offered
mute testimony substantiating the
reported wish of the Teutonic bar
barians to be sent against any save
American troops.
Two of the veterans are tem-
HE DARK HAIF
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody can Tell when you
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.
Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully durkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sago Tea and Sul
phur. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was ap
plied with wonderful effect. By ask
ing at any drug store tor "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound," you
will get a large bottle of this old
time recipe, improved by the addi
tion of other ingredients, all ready
to use, at very little cost. This sim
ple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap
plied—it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, tak
ing one strand at a time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, it is re
stored to its natural color and looks j
glossy, soft and beautiful. This prepa- |
ration is a delightful toilet requisite, j
It is not intended for the cure, mlti- ,
gation or prevention of disease.
Perfect Health Is Yours
If the Blood Is Kept Pure
Almost Every Human Ailment
Is Directly Traceable to Im
purities in the Blood.
You cannot overestimate the Im
portance of keeping the blood free
of impurities. When you realize that
the heart is constantly pumping this
vital fluid to all parts of the body,
you can easily see that any impurity
in the blood will cause serious com
plications.
Any slight disorder or impurity
that creeps into the blood is a
source of danger, for every vital
organ of the body depends upon the
blood supply to properly perform its
functions.
Many painful and dangerous dis
uses are the direct result of a bad
•ondition of the blood. Among the
FIRST CLASS TRAVEL
OVER ANY ROAD
Cross Country travel has
no frontier for the Packard
Twin Six. Distance brings
out the best there is in it —
its range is a continent.
The quality that is built into the Packard
meets the demands of hard and continuous
service. There is economy in its long life and
low cost of upkeep.
The Packard Twin Six will take you in i
safety and comfort where you want to go —
and as fast as you care to travel. The man

porarily deranged as a result of
shock and gas poisoning and all are
more or less incapacitated from
these causes. Three haye serious
bayonet wounds, one a saber wound,
another a shell wound in the back,
and still another wears a silver plate
in his head, which was laid open by
a shell fragment.
The contingent is in charge of
Lieutenant H. F. Sutton, of the
United States Hospital, at Camp
Stewart, Va. The intrepid band of
unconquered Sammies originally
numbered 200 wounded, but all save
the twenty-three who passed
through here have been quartered
in hospitals in Washington and Bal
timore.
Have Not Lost Spirit
Although sick and weary, the men
have not lost their spirit and all
fondly cherished the hope that op
portunity will be afforded them to
return to France to "get the Hun"
that caused their withdrawal from
active service. All bring a glorified
and wonderful message to the peo
ple of the United States of hope and
courage from the blood-stained
trenches. To see these plucky boys,
maimed by bayonet and cruelly torn
by shell, and to listen to their mod
est recital of their experiences
abroad, explains why the panic
stricken Potsdam clique see the
handwriting on the wall.
A casual glance at Private Mar
tin R. Tackaberry, of Tampa, Fla.,
would identify him merely as an
average American youth, unassum
ing and gentle. Tackaberry was run
through the left shoulder and bru
tally clubbed with a rifle.
"But I Got My Boche!"
"But I got my Boche—darn him,"
he said, with eyes ablaze, "with the
bayonet sticking clean through my
shoulder, I gave him five chambers
of my automatic and blew his face
away."
Edward Olson, a giant Swedish-
American from New York, is eager
to get back, although his body has
been terribly battered in battle.
There is a lump on his forehead,
where the frontal bone was con
caved by a shell fragment.
In the top of his head is a silver
plate as big as an individual butter
dish. He has a bullet wound in his
left leg, and a bayonet wound in his
right shoulder. He proudly exhibit
ed the helmet, chevrons and boots
of a German lieutenant whom he
said, he killed in a hand-to-hand
struggle.
"I got him," he said. "He was
pumping his automatic at me. when
r jumped and caught him around
the neck. I knocked him down and
stuck him.
"That was five days before I got
mine. They ordered us over the top,
and I was over in god shape when
I was caught in the Germans' coun
ter barrage. After the shells had
ripped me up a big Boche stuck me
with his bayonet.
Saved l>y Women
"The last thing I remember, a
Red Cross woman, and a Salvation
Army girl were dragging me oft to
a field hospital. I would not be here
now if it hadn't been for those brave
women."
most serious are Rheumatism, with
its torturing pains; Catarrh, often a
forerunner of dread consumption:
Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas
and other disfiguring skin diseases;
Malaria, which makes the /strongest
men helpless, and many other dis
eases are the direct result of impure
blood.
You can easily avoid all of these
diseases, and rid the systenv of them,
by the use of S. S. S.. the ivonderful
blood remedy that has been in con
stant use for more than fifty years.
S. S. S. cleanses the blood thor
oughly, and routs every vestige of
impurity. It is sold by druggists
everywhere.

calls for monetary aid that would
be forthcoming—the drives for the
sale of Liberty Bonds, Red Cross
memberships, Y. M. C. A., Knights
of Columbus and Jewish camp funds
and recreation huts, Red Cross con
tributions and a score of minor re
liefs —it was the opinion of many
that the people would not respond.
" 'lt can't be done!' a well known
citizen said to me the latter part of
May, 1917.
"But it has been done!
"Furthermore, the oftener these
campaigns come along the easier it
becomes to get the aAswer. That is
easily explained. The people of Har
risburg are absolutely awake. The
first Liberty Loan campaign was the
| hardest of the three. The third was
the easiest. The fourth, to use the
street boy's expression, will be 'a
cinch.'
"But we really deserve little credit
for what we have done in the Lib
erty Bond campaigns.
"Does a man deserve world-wide
commendation for simply taking
care of his own interests? In buy-,
ing Liberty Bonds we put our money j
away for ourselves. We loaned it to
the government, it is true—but we
are the government.
Time to Measure Up
"The second Red Cross campaign
for $100,000,000 will give all the
people of the United States a sec
ond opportunity to prove that they
are willing to shoulder some of the
burden of this war. Harrisburg is
asked to give the National Red Cross
not less than $150,000. My personal
idea is that the total will be nearer
$200,000.
"When we bought Liberty Bonds
w*6 aided the government in its war
preparations. But when we give to
the Rod Cross we ourselves say to
the men of Harrisburg and sur
rounding territory:
" 'You fellows are going across to
fight for us; and we know it! We
folks at home can't all follow you,
although thousands of us will be
with you after awhile. Some of us
are too old, and some of us must
pursue useful occupations, and some
of us are physically unfit. But all of
us on this side are with you over
there —in spirit; and to prove that
we are we're giving our money to
the Red Cross. And, boys, every
time —over there—that you see the
insignia oj the Rod Cross just recall
that the people back home are back
of you, doing everything they can
for you'."
Announcement was made to-day
that two of the half hundred Per
shing veterans, who were sent home
several weeks ago to talk for the
Liberty Loan will be in Harrisburg
to talk for the Red Cross.
The Pershing veterans will address,
a mass meeting to be held in Chest
nut Street Auditorium the night of
May 14.
Another speaker that evening will
be Miss Kathleen Burke, nationally
known Red Cross worker. Miss
Burke is going to tell of what she
encountered in Belgium from August
of 1014 until the Belgians were com
pelled to evacuate Antwerp. Dur
ing that period, and in the months
that followed, Miss Burke saw many
incidents of German atrocities that
have burned themselves into her
memory.
