"Makes An Old Man
Feel Young"
Tonall Brings .Joy to ail Old Veteran
Reuben Snavely, a veteran of the
Civil War, eighty-three years old,
living at 290 West Main street, Mid
dletown, Pa., cheerfully makes this
statement concerning the virtues of
Tonall.
"My system was badly run down.
1 was tired and had all the time a
weak feeling.
"Charles B. Whitman, druggist at
Middletown, recommended Tonall to
me, and after using one bottle I
felt the wonderful benefit I got from
taking It. It seemed to take years
off my eighty-three years of living,
and made me feel much younger.
"I recommend Tonall to every
body now and know it is bound to
do a wonderful amount of good
to suffering humanity."
This testimonial was given Au
gust 5, 1918.
Tonall is sold at Gorgas' Drug
Store, Harrisburg. and at the Her
shey Department Store, Hershey, p>a.

Price Advance
i For over a year now we
have succeeded in main
taining our old prices,
principally by virtue of a
big Increase in sales,
which reduced our over
head cost.
For our fiscal year end
ing July 1, 1918, our sales
amounted to over a mil
lion dollars —an Increase
of 58% over the preced
ing year.
We had hoped to bridge
the war period without a
change in prices on
Vick's Vapoßub
but we find that our econ
omies do not keep pace
our rising costs. It is
with sincere regret, there
fore, that we are forced to
announce an Increase, ef
fective August 1, which
will make It necessary to
retail Vapoßub at
300, 600 & $1.20

QUEER FREAK OF
LIGHTNING BOLT
Shatters Every Mirror in the
Home of James F. Bell, but
Does Not Break Windows
Gettysburg, Pa., Aug. 16.—One of
the many freak things that light
ning will do was displayed at the
home of James F. Bell, in Straban
toVnship, during a storm Wednes
day afternoon. Scorched wall
paper all over the house shows the
path of the lightning, and every
room in the house was damaged
except the kitchen, and here the
family was congregated. The real
freakish part of the lightning's
work was the breaking of every
mirror in the house. Handsome old
Colonial bureaus had their massive
mirrors shattered, and smaller ones
were cracked and damaged. When
the excitement of the shock was
over it was found that not a single
mirror had escaped. It was all the
more strange when it was discov
ered that no other damage was done
to the furniture, and not a single
windowpane was broken.

Burns' August Furniture Sale—"Full Steam Ahead"
Lloyd George said the Allied Drive is "full steam ahead." Just so is BURNS' AUGUST SALE speeding up
the buying of furniture for the future. Mostly everybody is well acquainted with market conditions. The wis
dom of buying for future needs is most forcefully seen in the trend of times. The Committee on Revenue
of the House of Representatives, suggest a2O per cent tax on furniture. If the suggestion becomes a law the
customer will naturally pay the tax in the long run, even though the tax is placed on the goods at the factory.
What does this signify? Simply this: '
That NOW the 10 to 50 Per Cent Savings Over Present Market Values Can Be Had in BURNS' AUGUST
