tion and with an aptitude for me
chanics under the draft law and
probably 2,000 such men will be

doctors who were called under the

"Aching Bones, Tired Feel
ing, No Life, All Gone,''
Says J. Guy Bowman
"I had a bad cold, felt tired, i
could scarcely move along, and was
barely able to work at my trade,"
says J. Guy Bowman, of 149 River'
street, Middletown. Pa.
"I worked at the shoe factory, j
My samptoms were aching bones,
tired feeling, and was lifeless and
listless. A feeling of malaria or
ague.
"I have used three bottles of Ton- i
all purchased at 'Whitman's Phar->
inacy. Middletown. and after using;
it I now feel fine, and do my work
witu pleasure.
On account of the great benefit l
I received from Tonall, after taking j
only three bottles, I gladly recom- :
mend Tonal!, for I know it will do
all it claims to do, and any person
who has not used Tonall does not'
realize what they are missing—for j
the roots, herbs and barks have cer- :
tainly a wonderful effect. I am,
twenty-eight years old. too young
to be knocked out yet. but by the
use of Tonall I have no fear now
for years to come."
This testimonial was given Au
guts 3. 191 S.
Tonall is sold at Gorgas' Drug
Store. Harrisburg. and at the Hcr
shey Department Store, Hershev, Pa.

will not get more than 8.000. Prl- '

made on the hatchings of eggs sent
out. Efforts to secure ruffed grouse
to stock state preserves have been
unsuccessful. Every one having the

1 anthracite region is not as well

the >Vestern and southwestern sec

busy. These activities will diminish

Sales of hunters' licenses have
been made already in some counties
■ where the arm bands were sent. The
j men who like to get their licenses
early have been right on the job
and the state will get a pretty fair
sized amount of income this fall

No Trade of Him

definite clue as to the whereabouts
of William Porter, who has been
missing from his home in East
Coover street, since Thursday night,
has been found. Porter, who is aged
j about 50 years und was employed
'at the J. k. Hinkel Manufacturing"
Company plant, comptatned of the
effects of the extreme heat on
Thursday night and started to take
a walk. Shortly after 9 o'clock his
daughter, who was returning from
a mission down Main street, met
her father, spoke to him. and went
home, supposing he would soon re
turn from his walk. Instead, that
was the last seen of Mr. Porter, al
though searching parties were insti
tuted that same night, when he
failed to put in an appearance, and
the entire countryside scoured.
Police of this place and Harris
burg have been notified, and yester
day Boy Scouts started out early in
the hope of locating the unfortunate
man. whom it is thought was af
fected by the-heat and wandered off.
It is said that he was seen in a store
in Bowmansdale on Friday night,
but that when addressed hastily left
without replying. Nothing more
definite has been heard and his fam
ily are consumed with anxiety.
Mr. Porter has a son in the serv
ice of the United States.

; have been arrested for failing to kill
! dogs whose owners refused to license
'them. This is the first time in years
iin which the state has gone after
\ the men charged with administering
! law for failing to do BO and several
convictions have been obtained.
Owners who decline to license their
dogs have also been prosecuted and
in some cases the dogs were also
shot.
State policemen and game protec
tors have made raids upon commun
ities largely inhabitated by aliens
and shot dogs and confiscated guns,
but have had more trouble in some
farming districts where farmers
have refused to register dogs and
fail to keep them penned up at night.
The code was enacted largely to
stimulate sheep raising. The law
against aliens having guns and dogs
is a separate one.
In addition to the "officers, agents
of the State Department of Agricul

licenses has been little obeyed, but
where complaints of raids on sheep
have been made.

federal service. One more infantry
regiment and additional cavalry are
urged, while, if artillery can be ob
tained. that branch of the service
will be asked. No state' government
