SOY DIES FROM INFANT MALADY Tenth Case of Paralysis in Franklin County Proves Fatal to Elmer Rock Chambersbiirg, P a - Aug. 26.—The tenth case of Infantile paralysis in Franklin county within a fortnight resulted in the third fatality and is all the more alarming because the victim was a lad of 14 years, a strong healthy boy. He was Elmer Rock, son of John Rock, who lives on thei Carl farm near Greencastle, and had| been helping his father plow on the | farm. He became ill and seemed | partially paralyzed while at work on j Wednesday, he was helped to thej house and grew worse and on Thurs- i day died. It was thought at first he had injured his spine. Health Officer! Sat SaysJPhysician (90 JBanisk Stomach (brouhles Warns against starvation diets and strong drugs, which mav weaken the stomach and thereby do far more harm than good. Says "Food Cure" is only true way to overcome indigestion, gas, souring of food, etc. A HIGHLY irritated acid stomach is a good deal like an open sore on X )\ your hand. It you keep rubbing it and irritating it, it may never get well, but let it alone and nature will soon make the cure. Every time your food sours and fer ments, causing poisonous gases and acids, it further irritates the stomach walls, just like rubbing an old sore, consequently you go on having indigestion because your stomach never has a chance to get well. Starvation diets weaken the system, this in turn weakens the stomach and aggravates your stomach troubles. What a dyspeptic needs, in my opinion, is food, good food, plenty to eat, but of the right kind. A dish of milk toast may, on account of its bad combination of starch with caesin, cause ten times as much distur bance in a super-acid stomach as a piece of roast beef; and the highly recommended soft boiled eggs may, on account of the large quantity of fat in the yolks, cause serious indigestion, gas, etc.; while cold w-hite meat of chicken, thoroughly masti cated, will digest in the same stomach without difficulty. Stomach sufferers often suffer from an irritable temper, nervous ness, dizziness, gas, etc., about two or three hours after eating, due to the irrita tion of the stomach walls by the accumu lation of excess acid in the stomach after the food, or most of it, has passed out. In such cases the very best remedy, in my opinion, is food, more food, but of the right kind. Try eating some cold white meat of chicken (thoroughly masticated) with a little hard toast at 4 P.M., and be fore going to bed, or drink some milk mixed with water and see how this takes up the excess acid and keeps it from irri tating your stomach. But don't take milk and chicken both. If you do you may get into trouble. Never take milk or ice cream with meat or acid fruits if your stomach is weak and don't take coffee with a meal, and better not at all. Take weak tea made by yourself by pouring hot water on dry tea and at once pouring it off. Don't let it stand. If you do it will ex tract tannic acid, and this is very bad for the stomach. Eat fresh fish (no salmon nor sardines), roast or broiled or cold meats, You Need Not Suffer From Catarrh But You Must Drive It Out of Your Blood to Get Rid of It Permanently. You have probably been In the habit of appflylng external treat ments. trying to cure your Catarrh. You have used sprays, washes and lotions and possibly been tempo rarily relieved. But after a short time you had another attack and wondered why. You must realize that catarrh is an infection of the blood and to get permanent re lief the catarrh infection must be driven out of the blood. The quicker you come to understand this, the quicker you will get it out of your system. S. S.

Klnter, of Chambers burg, who Is also Cornoer, sent for Dr. Jamteaon. a pathologist, of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadel phia, and he pronounced the malady Infantile paralysle. A strict quaran tine will be established and meas ures taken to try to combat the spread of tho disease. PREACHES AT MECHAXICSBURG Mechanicsburg,. Pa., Aug. 26. The Rev. William Moses, of the Vine Street M. E. Church, Harrlsburg, preached a sermon in the Mechanlcs burg Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday morning. He was assisted by the Rev. Mr. McKelvy, of Harris burg. Mrs. George nW. Hershma san "Teach Me to Pray," with Mrs. H. A. Surface at the pipe organ. The Rev. Mr. Moses was pastor here about twelve years ago, and suc ceeded the Rev. Mr. Pyles of the Fifth Street Church, Harrlsburg. The Rev. J. Ellis Bell, the pastor, is at Ocean Grove, on his annual vaca tion. and will again till his pulpit on Sunday, September 8. The Rev. Mr. Maines, of Harrlsburg, will preach next Sunday morning at the usual, hour. hard toast (no fresh bread), stewed fruits, green vegetables, baked or mashed pota toes. If you want ice cream take it be tween meaU with hot tea, never with a meal. Once your stomach gets well you can eat most anything and it will digest, but until it gets well (until the sore has a chance to heal) be careful of the chemical combinations of foods. Remember the most important thing is to avoid irritat ing your stomach. (Keep from rubbing the sore until it gets well.) If at any time you should notice an excess of acid or should suffer from gas, dizziness, souring, or belching of food, take from two to six tab lets of Pepsinated Panzen to help your blood neutralize the excess acid and give increased strength to the pneumogastric or big stomach nerve so as to give your stomach more power to digest food. Pep sinated Panzen is not a secret remedy and contains no strong drugs. It is a strictly high class ethical product. The composition of its formula is giveu below so that you may ask your own doc tor or druggist about it if you wish. Pep sin Saccharatum, Magnesie Calcinee, Nat ricum Bicarbonat, Mcnthe Poivrce, Clous Aromatique, and Oxalate de Cerium. Pep sinated Panzen should be kept constantly in the house by every acid-stomach sufferer and used at the very first warning—symp- toms such as drowsiness after eating, a full heavy sensation in the stomach, gas, or distress of any kind. It should be taken with milk or ice cream to help break up the curds. Pepsinated Panzen is recommended, however, only to help your blood neutral ize the excess acid in your stomach and give your stomach increased power to digest food; the real and true cure must be looked for in what you eat and how you eat, rather than in drugs or starvation diets. Always be sure to eat slowly and masticate your food thoroughly. Further information on proper combinations of foods will be given in articles which are to follow this. Pepsinated Panzen can be ob tained in this city at 27c from Croll Keller, G. A. Gorgas, J. Nel son Clark and other druggists. been in constant use for over fifty years, will drive the catarrhal poi sons out of your blood, purifying and strengthening it, so it will carry vigor and health to the mucous membrances on its journeys through your body and nature will soon re store you to health. You will be relieved of the droppings of mucous iin your throat, sores in nostrils, bad breath, hawking and spitting. All reputable druggists carry S. S. S. in stock and we recommend you give it a trial immediately. 1ho chief medical adviser of the company will cheerfully answer all letters on the subject. There is no charge for the medical advice.

MUST TAKE HATS OFF TO YANKS Former Harrisburg Youth Tells of American Fight ing Spirit "The world must take its hat off to the Yankee," writes Sergeant George Krause Erb, a former Bell Telephone employe in this city. "He sure Is one of the bravest when It comes to fighting, as Fritz is willing to testify," he adds. , Sergeant Erb is now serving with Company D, 406 th Telegraph Battal ion, United States Signal Corps, re cruited entirely from employes of the I Bell Telephone Company. He receiv- I ed his training at New Jersey and was among the first troops to reach France, arriving there last August. Sergeant Erb lived at the Maple I Grove Hotel, Sixth and Maclay streets while in Harrisburg. His home is at Lebanon. He is having an interesting time in France. Several of his recent letters are appended. Extract from letter July 30: "I never for a moment thought I would have the opportunity to wit ness the sights I have in the past few weeks. As you have no doubt read in the papers, we have the Hun on the run, and I sincerely hope that we run him to death. I have had the oppor tunity to follqw pretty close in the wake of the departing Hun. Some of the towns I have been in a few hours after Fritz departed. Another time I had the opportunity to watch our boys take a town from the enemy. I wish I could describe to you the things one sees as he follows the retreating Hun. I have seen whole towns utterly de molished and not a single house left standing. In fact, the ruins hardly resembled houses at all, but looked as if some gigantic cart had deposit ed a number of piles of stone and rubbish. Woods utterly shot to pieces with only the bare and scarred stumps of trees left standing. Every where one sees evidence of the enemy's hasty retreat. Ammunition of all kinds, hand grenades, all sorts of German clothing, boots and equip ment are scattered everywhere. Talk about German helmets, they are about the commonest thing one sees these days, and I only wish I could send several home to you, but it is not pos- | sible since an order forbids it. The fields and roads are dotted with shell holes and the craters of airplane bombs, while some of the fields look as if the ground had been churned with a great paddle, but the papers and magazines can tell you about these things better than I can. Be lieve me, I wouldn't miss this for any amount of money, and let me state that the world must take off its hat to the Yankee, for he sure is one of the bravest when it comes to fighting, as Fritz is quite willing to testify." Extract from letter July 21: "No doubt about this time all you people over there are as elated and excited as we are. over the happen ings of the past few days. Everybody is treading on air, for at last we are showimr the Kaiser that the American Army, instead of being a myth, is the real thing indeed, and oh what a pleasure it is to hand it to him in a ! real two-fisted way. I can't begin to 1 tell you how brave our boys have been and what they have done. Every body is working as hard and as fast as they can and nobody seems to care how hard or how long they work. A bunch of us just quit hauling ammu nition and supplies. We hauled for two days and nights without a wink of sleep and very little to eat. but no one minded it, and we all were de lighted as long as we could peddle a little hardware for the batteries to hand Fritz. No doubt we would he still driving if they hadn't decided to give us a little rest. Oh. it is won derful. It is just like a big hunt, and you drive, drive, drive and as each victory becomes known you grin, and looking ever ahead, push on to the next goal. We can't be stopped! "I have had my share of shell fire and air raids lately, but have become quite used to them now. The more I see of this game the better I like it. and with things going the way they are. the game can't be beat. It is just like a good old game of football, when you have the other team on the run. You just up and smash and push them all over the field. Well, we don't have much time to write, so will cut this real short. I know this is not a very long and interesting let ter, but Just now we are doing things. Later on we will write about them. Don't worry about me, for I am O. K. and enjoying myself immensely.

Dr. Robert Bagnell Writes to Grace M. E. Congregation From France A letter from Dr. Robert Bagnell, now in France, was read to the Grace Methodist Congregation, of which he is pastor, at jesterda.v's service. The letter with its interesting facts of the country and the boys in khaki, says: "Somewhere in France," "August 1, 19 IS. "Dear Grace Friends: "I am now closing my third week in the lecture tour through the American camps. "I have seen many thousands of 1 our American boys and have talked to many great crowds of them. Have also had the privilege of talking per sonally with hundreds of them. "They are splendid, clean-cut, full of life and what the boys call "ging er and pep" and are making a great impression upon the French people. Of course, we are all proud of what they are doing at the front, but this just what we expect. Our boys are subject to a great deal more tempta tion here than in the camps at home, though not any more than in civil I life. Some of them drink, but Xam j sure a smaller per cent, than in civil I life, and out of the many thousands I I have seen but four or five have j been under the influence of liquor. ; I am sure too that the standard of morality is above that of the same men in civil life. "Captain William Calder is in this camp and I had a fine visit with him to-day. What a fine, clean, splendid chap he is! I have had word from | several other boys from Harrisburg j and are f rom the church I hope to I see before I leave France. "I have traveled about twelve to I fourteen hundred miles in France. I The country is beautiful beyond de • i scription. The harvest is very good j and is now ripe. The old men. boys j and women are all working in the fields hnd everywhere are found the ! evidence of thrift. There are few | fences here and individual ownership is often confined to a s trip of land 50 ; or 100 feet,wide by 50 to 200 yards I long. These strips will be sown or j planted with different grains or vege , tables and the effect is very artistic. I travel a great deal from point co | point in automobiles of various kinds , and so have good chance to see the ■ ountry. "I am to leave this place where I am now located next Monday, to go to another important center for a week and then back to Paris on Au gust 12. From there 1 go over to Britain for a couple of weeks' speak ing tour of the Allied camps then before my return. "I am located now in one of th? most beautiful spots in France. Am living altogether with the troops, and I assure you I have much the best meals I have had since I left home. "I am always thinking of you and praying for you. It will be a good day when T am able to occupy my own pulpit again. And I trust I may returh much better fitted to serve the great cause of the nation and to render you a better service than be-1 fore. It is such a comfort to me to know that you are thinking of me and praying for me. I am sure you. like me, are praying constantly for our boys. T am sure much of the superb quality they possess Is the re sult of the prayers at home: "This will probably be read to you on either the 18th or 25th of August. It will not be long from that time until —God willing—l shall be with you. Until then. God bless and keep you all." A. O. CLUB OFFICERS Mochauicsiburg, . Pa.. Aug, 26. — The A. O.
