to Eat
"My son-in-law was so bad from
stomach trouble that he was re
duced to almost a shadow and was
afraid to eat anything, as all food
caused bloating of gas which pressed

much. Our druggist persuaded him
to try Mayr's Wonderful Remedy

can eat anything and works hard
every day." It is a simple, harm

Gettysburg Board of Health
Working Hard to Overcome
Spanish Influenza Epidemic
Gettysburg, Pa., Oct. 14.—The
'local board of health is taking rigid
steps to prevent, if possible, any
spread of Spanish influenza through
out the town. While the
jin the town are not yet alarming, all
I steps are being taken that would
i help to stay the disease in its course.
I Although almost two hundred cases
at-e known }o exist in town, only
three deaths have as yet been report
ed. The disease has spread much
more rapidly in some of the rural
districts of the county than it has
in town and this, together with the
conditions at Camp Colt drying the
past two weeks, during which time
one hundred, and twenty-fouif of the
boys died, has made the citizens use
I every precaution to prevent conta
gion.
| The disease at the camp is appar
ently abating, seemingly to have run
its course, and few new cases are
being reported.
The Methodist Church has been
offered to the board of health to be
used as a hospital, the board accept
ing the offer In case it becomes nec
essary. At the meeting of the board
of health Friday evening, at which
was present Dr. Phillips, of the State
; Department of Health, this action
'wa s taken:
i "To recall Miss Kate Briel, the
j civic nurse, from Xavier Hall Hos
: pital, where she was allowed to go
i during the height of the epidemic at
Camp Colt.
| "To call for volunteers, either
practical nurses or others who are
(willing to help out in an emergency,
to be instructed by Miss Briel.
: "To hold the Methodist Church in
readiness for an emergency hospital
(where many of the patients could be
taken and cared for.
"To supply needed articles for sick
in the homes, and to help furnish
the emergency hospital, if needed.
"To instruct the people of the
community regarding the necessity
for every care and immediate attcn
tention in case they show the first
signs of influenza."
NO CASES AT LIVERPOOL
Liverpool, Pa„ Oct. 4.—At a spe
cial meeting of the local board of
health it was decided to keep
churches and Sunday schools closed
until further notice. As there are
no cases of influenza in town the pub
lic schools were allowed to keep
open. All Liberty Loan meetings and
Red Cross meetings were ordered con
celled by the board of health.

Old Carlisle Industry
Goes Out of Business
Carlisle, Pa., Oct. 14.—Because of
the scarcity of labor, trouble in se
curing materials and other war time
problems, the stockholders of the E.
J. Gardner Axle and Machine Com
pany, one of the oldest local indus
tries, have decided upon dissolution
and steps were taken to-day to put
the plan In force.
The plant was founded in 1883 by
the late Franklin Gardner and sev
eral changes in ownership took place.
It manufactured axles and other steel
products and had a considerable
trade. At one time employing up
wards of 100 persons, the force in
the past few months has been 40 and
all of these will be taken care of at
local industries on war work.
By a peculiar provision in the deed
for the land on which the plant is
located it must be used for manu
facturing purposes and the plant will
probably be leased.

Misled on U-Boat War,
Bernhard Now Says
; Copenhagen. George Bernhard.
: writing in the Berlin Vossische Zei
| tung, says that the submarine war
fare would never have been pro
claimed if the German people had
not been deceived and misled. Dis
cussing the peace steps taken at
Washington in 1916 and 1917, the
wfiter says:
"If we had known tha* President
' Wilson had been continually re
[ quested to act as peace mediator and
even that specified conditions had
been submitted, our action would
have been different. Had we known
that at the moment unrestricted sub
marine warfare was declared Presi
dent Wilson had agreed to accept
the role of mediator, the German
people, in the great majority, would
never have tolerated a policy which
brought upon them the reputation of
being double-tongued."
All this, says Bernhard. goes far
toward making President Wilson's
sharp words understandable.
"It also explains," he concludes,
"Ambassador Gerard's unmeasured
speech, when one recalls that the
German Government permitted him
to make a friendly address in the
presence of high officials at the very
moment when the submarine cam
paign was already decided upon." j

GOVERNOR ASKS
ALL TO ASSIST
Appeal Issued to Help Fight
Influenza, Which Is Gain
ing Ground in State
A joint appeal signed by the Gov
ernor and other officers active in the
state's campaign against influenza
and calling upon everyone to give
free service to the sufferers was is
sued last night from the Capitol. It
sets forth the situation as it existed
at that time and to-day officials said
that they saw no change.
The proclamation says:
"The epidemic of influenza now
sweeping through Pennsylvania has
reached such alarming proportions
and is increasing so rapidly that tl'e
feci it our duty to cafl public atten
tion to the danger which threatens
the entire Commonwealth, and to
appeal for aid to all citizens, both
men and women.
"Up to the present time approxi
mately two hundred and seventy-five
thousand persons have sickened and
each day records a higher number
o L new cases than the day before.
"In Massachusetts where the epi
demic started earlier than here, ten
per cent, of the whole population
have been affected and a death rale
of five per cent, of the cuses has
been reported.
"The Commissioner of Health of
that commonwealth advises us that
except in Boston and vicinity where
the disease firrst broke out the num
ber of new cases continues to equal
the high water mark.
"We have no grounds to expect
an early abatement of the epidemic;
on the other hand all reports from
affilcted districts indicate ' that con
ditions will become worse before
they become better.
"The great anthracite and bitumi.
nous coal fields, the populous in
dustrial and shipbuilding centers
teeming as never before with thou
sands upon thousands of workers are
alike crippled in their output and
the gravity of the menace to our
continued output of munitions and
ships is very great. We must save
Pennsylvania's citizens. We must
win the war.
"To deal with the situation the
State Department of Health has di
vided the Commonwealth into nine
teen districts, each under supervis
ing medical and nursing officers re
porting to the acting commissioner
and with the help of all the forces
of the Adjutant General of the Com
monwealth and the use of all state
property under his control has as
sisted in establishing sixty-four
emergency hospitals in those dis
tricts most affected. The depart
ment has also enlisted the active co
operation of the Red Cross and the
Council of National Defense and
Committee of Public Safety and all
other relief organizations, but the
demand for workers still far ex
ceeds the supply. One-fourth of
Pennsylvania's doctors and one-third
of her nurses are serving under the
colors, the first call for help from
the Xew England states further di
minished the supply and similar
conditions in neighboring states ren
der it Impossible for them to give
us help.
"Notwithstanding all efforts which
have been made the sick in some
places may lie for days without a
physician's attendance. There is a
most distressing lack of nursing help
for tending the sick at their own
I homes and the same conditions pre
vail practically all hospitals, both
! those long established and those
hastily improvised for the emer
gency. Even the dead in the popu
lous centers lie too long unburied
and the receiving vaults and morgues
are more crowded than the hospi
tals.
"Citizens of Pennsylvania, the call
for immediate personal service is
imperative. The only solution of the
problem is by free community serv
ice, tending the sick, feeding the
hungry and bearing the burdens of
the weak.
"Both men and women are need
ed and should report for duty to
their local health authorities or Red
Cross chapter.
"Disaster to the essential war
industries of the nation and calamity
to our people can only be averted
by united and vigorous action. Each
community should as far as pos
sible finance its own relief require
ments, calling for aid from the
Commonwealth or from state or na
tional relief organizations only when
'needful, thus equalizing the bur
den.
"We call upon- the clergy, the
press, educators, teachers and all
those molding public opinion to
bring tij the hearts and minds of
our people the gravity and necessity
of this appeal."
The signers are Martin G.-Brum
baugh, Governor of Pennsylvania; B
Franklin Royer, Acting Commis
sioner of Health; Charles Scott, Jr.,

Delaware division, the American
