U.S. REFUGEES
FROM RUSSIA AT
SWEDE CAPITAL
Sheldon Whitehouse, Ameri
can Charge d'Affaires.
Meets Countrvmen
Stockholm, Sept. 9.—The American
refugees from Moscow ha\> reached
Stockholm, twelve days after their
departure from the Bolshevik capital.
They were met by Sheldon White
house. the American charge d'affaires,
and a party of Americans and Eur
opeans who were anxious to lear the
lot of friends and relatives in Russia.
Immediately after crossing into
England, the Americans were im
pressed by the orderly conditions pre
vailing. The Finns near the border
had sufficient food, except flour and
sugar.
Conditions improved as the special
train approached Tornea, opposite
the Swedish border and on the
Swedish side they were almost un
believable for refugees from Soviet
Russia, which is staggering on.
hungry and miserable, toward a hope
less winter.
When the Americans left Russia
they say flour sold at a dollar and
twenty-five cents a pound, and that
It was seldom obtainable at any price.
The price of sugar was $3 a pound—
and the staple was scarce at that.
The refugees say that starvation
had become so prevalent in Moscow
that late in August the food commis
sion was forced to remove all regu
lations on citizens and permitted
them to enter the city with sixty
pounds of food each. This step, it
was asserted, was an admission of
the absolute failure of the food com
mission, which had no bread and was
forced, through the pressure of the
rebelling citizens, to let the people
take the food supply into their own

FEET LIKE FIRE
BRANDS WERE
BIG BOTHER
Unable to Walk or Work at last She
Gets Relief
Tanlac Benefited Her
"I can't begin to tell you how I
suffered with my feet and limbs."
says Mrs. Velma Gray, of North Sev
enth street. Harrisburg. Pa. "They
troubled constantly and crippled me
so that I was often unable to walk
about the house.
"It was awful. My feet would burn
like fire all the time and nothing I
could do would give me any relief
although I tried everything 1 could
think of.
"Then suddenly they would begin
to swell and they would puff up until
there w-as a great ridge at the top of
my shoes and I would have agonizing
pains in both feet and limbs.
"Finally I made up my mind to
try Tanlac as a last resort and to my
delight it began to help me right
away. Now the swelling and pain has
ail gone away and I can walk or
work all day without suffering.
"It is certainly a wonderful relief
and I cannot find words to express
my gratitude to Tanlac."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store where the
Tanlac man is meeting the people
and explaining the merits of this
master medicine.
From a Sick Bed to
Matrimony
"In June, 1917. I had been in bed
for ten weeks." says Mrs. Susanna
Sensenig. of East Earl. R. 2, Lan
caster county. Pa. "To-day I am
married and live on a farm and I do
all my own work, milk cows and
churn butter. I had dropsy so bad
I did not expect to live. My system
was all run down. Ankles swelled.
I bought a bottle of Tonall at Loch
er's Drug Store. Lancaster. Pa., and
after taking two bottles I could walk
upstairs and two months ago I was
married again. I had doctored with
three physicians, but not since using
Tonall. I would keep Tonall in the
house now for any si'kness which
may occur. My friends all are sur
priced and rejoiced over my com
plete recovery, and I tell everybody
about the merits of Tonall. and
thank my Maker I found the rem
edy."
This testimonial was given August
31. 1918.
Tonall is sold here at Gorgas"
Drug Store. Harrisburg. and at the
Hershev Drug Store, Hershev, and
Martz Drug Store, Steelton.

280 Americans Lie
in Graves in Paris
Paris. Sept. 9.—Upon the eastern ;
slope of Mont Valerien are buried j
the 280 American soldiers who have
died in Paris hospitals. Although in
use only three months, the cemetery
is sought out by reverent Americans ;
and the graves, marked by the in- 1
tertwined colors of two republics,
are constantly decorated with .
flowers.
Not content with acting as god- i
mothers to the American soldiers in
Paris on furloughs, French mothers, ;
whose sons have died that liberty j
might live, have adopted the boys |
from the United States even in ;
death. To each little cross on Mont
Valerien there is pinned a card j
showing that some woman has vow- j
ed the grave never shall be without j
a wreath or vase of flowers.
From the slopes of Valerien the >
beautiful panorama of the Paris re- j
gion spreads out, for the imposing ,
hill is one of the most effective de- !
fenses ot the city. Visitors have said ;
it seemed to them that even in death ,
the young Americans are standing !
guard over the Paris they died to j
protect.
The oldest grave in the cemetery ;
is that of Private Bought, of the )
102 d infantry, who died March 26. ,
Most of the plates tacked to the !
wooden crosses, however, say the j
soldiers lying there belonged to the |
Marine Corps. "Mort Pour la |
Potrie. 'is the inscription.

about to be pre
sented is invariably considered a good I
piece of news. That this is a fact is
proved by the billing announcing the
attraction at the Orpheum Wednesday,
matinee and night. The offering is
known as "Bringing Up Father at
Home." and is described as the best
of the series involving adventures and
doings of this noted newspaper i
comic. Manager Gus Hill, who took j
"Father" right out of the conlines of ;
the dailies and placed him upon the |
stage, declares that the unique and
unusually popular personage is never
so funpy as on this particular occa
sion. He is. of course, dominated as
always by "Mother." who will be on
hand to see that he does not overstep
the bounds of good nature and get
himself into all kinds of trouble.
"Father." as most of his admirers are
prone to admit, is an easygoing, re
calcftrant and vacillating sort of hu
man. Despite all these shortcom
ings, he is not quite the fool as his
friends, or rather, acquaintances might
be inclined to believe. This has been
proved in the past as it will no doubt
be shown in this instance.
In "The Bird of Paradise." which
will be seen at the Orpheum, Friday
night and Saturday,
"The lllrd of mgat.
Paradise" Richard Walton Tulty.
the author, presents an
alluring regime in a beautiful land.
The scene is in Hawaii, and the tale
of romance, intrigue and superstition
is carefully woven. The period is in
the early '9o's. Luna, a native prin
cess. falls in love with Dr. Wilson, an
American, who has come to Hawaii for
1 the bacillus of leprosy. Instead, he
marries the little girl and gradually
sinks lower and lower. Mr. Morosco.
under whose direction the piece is
produced, has collected a clever cast,
headed by Rita Romilly. a 19-year-old
actress of exceptional ability.
It is said to be a big play that grips
the heart and brings the sob to the
voice. Richard Walton Tully has
1 spent years on the peals that rise out
of the warm waters of the South Pa
! cific and the claim is made that the
! tropical atmosphere of our distant in
sular possession is faithfully repro
duced in "The Bird of Paradise." Oli
ver Morosco's stage settings have re
ceived unstinted praise for their
truthfulness. A native Hawaiian band
of singers will sing the plaintive
I Ikuahuli and other songs of the South
Seas during the action of the play.

"The Death Dance," showing at the
Colonial Theater to-day and to-mor
row, is said to
"The Death Dance" be a corking
at the Colonial o 1 d - fashioned
m e 1 o - d rama,
with all the elements which go to
make up one of the kind you used to
see on the legitimate stage, and Alice
Brady, as a dancer of the underworld,
■w ho, despite her surroundings, has
somehow managed to keep herself
straight. There is a mingling of love,
jealousy, revenge, suicide and murder
enough to satisfy even the most in
veterate seeker after thrills, and the
star is given the opportunity not only
for Fome clever emotional work, bpt
also for some exceedingly difficult and
graceful dancing. In the end every
thing comes out to the satisfaction
of all concerned and you will be more
than pleased at having seen the
dramatic picture.

stupendous motion picture. "Crashing
