Now 83 Years Old "I am eighty-three vears old and I doc tored for rheumatism ever since I came out ol the arm), over (ifty years ago. Like many others, t spent money freely for so called 'cures, and i nave trad about 'Uric Acid' until I could almost taste It. I could not sleep nights or walk without pain; my hands were so sore and stilt J could not hold a pen. But now tam again in active business and can wa'.k With ease or write all day with comfort. Friends are sur prised at the change ' HOW IT HAPPENED. Mr. Ashelman Is only one ot thousands who suffered for years, owin-, to the gen ual belief in the old. false throrv that "Uric Acid" causes rheumatism. This er roneous belief induced him and legions of unfortunate men and women to take wrong treatments. Von might just as well attempt to put out a tire with oil as to try and get rid of your rheumatism, neuritis and like complaints, by taking treatment supposed to drive Uric A eld out of your blood and bodv. .Many physicians and scientists now know that Trie Acid never did. never can and never will cause rheumatism: that it is h natural and nec essary constituent of the blood: that it Is found in every new-horn babe, and that without It we could not live! HOW OTHERS MAY BENEFIT FROM A GENEROUS GIFT. These statements may i eem strange to some folks, because nearly all suf ferers have all along been led to be lieve In the old "Uric Acid" humbug. It took Mr. Ashelman fifty years to find out this truth. He learned how to get rid of the true cause of his rheumatism, other disorders and re cover his strength from "The inner Mysteries." a remarkable book that is now being distributed free by an au thority who devoted over twenty years to the scientific study of this trouble. If any reader of the Har rlsburg Telegraph wishes a copy of this book that reveals'startling facts overlooked by doctors and scientists for centuries past, simply send a post card or letter to H. P. Clearwater, 127 B Street Hallowed, Maine, and it will be sent by return mail without any charge whatever. Send now! Vou may never get this opportunity again. If not a sufferer yourself, hand this good news to some afflicted friend. SATURDAY EVENING, C. V. NEWS Carlisle Schools to Open When Ban Lifts, Tuesday Carlisle.

COAL PRICE TO BE ! SIA TON MORE IN NATION SHORTLY | Increase of Miners' Wages to Be Borne by Public After Elections Washington. Nov. 2.— Evidence J that it is not politics, but news of vital importance to fifty million Americans which has been adjourn ed by President Wilson, at least un til after election day, came to light ! yesterday following the announce : tnent of the new wage Increase to I'anthracite miners. j Boiled down to essentials, the re ! suit of this increase will be a cor ! responding increase of at least >1 a j ton on anthracite or roughly $45,- ; 000,000 a year. Although all of this i must be paid by consumers of do- I niestic sizes of anthracite, no official mention of the increase is to be made ! by Washington until after election day. Anthracite operators who huve been in numerous conferences with Dr. Hurry A. Garfield, federal fuel administrator, over the increase to miners were astounded yesterday when they read his announcement of the wage addition and failed to tind any mention of the correspond ing retail price increase the bill must he paid. Negotiations between representa tives of the miners, the operators and various governmental agencies, in cluding the fuel administration, were concluded nearly three weeks ago. At that time it was distinctly understood by operators that a sim ultaneous announcement of wage and price increase would he made by Dr. Garfield. Sad News Was Concealed Since that time, however, the schedule of wage increases agreed to —und prematurely announced—by the miners has been laid before the President for his official approval, without which it could not go into effect. The wage increase has been officially announced. Hut not a word has been said about the cost to the public. Rumors that this most important phase of the negotiation would be held up until after election day*be cause of the fear that it might hurt the chances of Democratic Congres sional candidates have been current for some time. But it was not until Doctor Garfield announced only one side of the program that operators and others interested believed the thing would he attempted. Of almost equal importance as this "omission" is the story of what the administration Intends to do byway of explanation when it linally an nounces to American consumers of anthracite that they must pay $45,- 000.000 a year more for their coal. When the administration finally decides to let the public in on this fact, it will also, in all probability, try to camouflage the issue by an nouncing that the mine price of coal to all operators lias been equalized l>y elimination of the 75-cent differ ential ,n favor of so-called independ ent operators. This differential lias always been a sore point with the large operators and with the public. Although 80 per cent, of the total anthracite pro duction is from the mines of the operators who do not get the differ ential. consumers find it almost im possible to locate a retailer who sells anything hut "independent" coal. In other words, retailers have taken advantuge'of the 75 cents a ton difference. Elimination of the differential will save the public from the payment of that particular gouge, hut the saving will be in finitesimal compared to the bill of $46,000,000 a year. These "details," which the fuel ad ministration intimated have not yet been "worked out," were known to [ everybody in the wage conferences j weeks ago. One of the first points I made clear was that it will be im possible to put any of the increase on | steam sizes on anthracite. The reason for this is that steam ' anthracite is only about 80 per cent, as efficient in producing heat as bi tuminous coal. It, therefore, never commands more than 80 per cent, of the soft coal price, which is now $2.90 a ton at the mines. As a gen eral rule the price of steam anthra cite is only 70 per cent, of the soft coal price. With bituminous production soar ing to a point where steam sizes of anthracite are not as badly needed as last year, any increase in the price of the hard coal would virtually drive it off the market. It follows, then, according to operators and officials of the fuel administration, that the wage increase must he borne by do mestic sizes. The increase in wages has been es timated to average $1 a day for 150,- 000 miners. Total anthracite pro duction averages about 290,000 tons a day. Of this. 05 per cent, is pre pared sizes—pea. nut, stove and egg —and the other 25 per cent, buck wheat and smaller sizes and for steam purposes. This figures out an increase of at least $1 a ton. The wage increase be came effective yesterday. But con sumers who must pay the bill are to be spared this painful rtews until they have had opportunity to cast their ballots on election day—after which it cannot affect the result. Consumers here and elsewhere who will pay the bill for the increase granted to the miners cannot help themselves by ordering in advance, for the readers must pay the sl-a -ton increase duting from November 1. Coal mined on and after that date will not begin to reach tills city for from ten to fifteen days. By that time the election will be over. Any formal announcement by the administration will he more or less unnecessary. The people who must pay the hill will get all the in formation from the retailers when they inquire into prices. Nut coal, now selling at $10.25 a ton {n this city, will cost $11.2 5, and correspond ing Increases will he made on all other prepared sizes. i DAVID I*. MeKEE DIES Blain, Pa., Nov. 2.—David P.

ROVER'S ORDER ISOLATES CITY OF LANCASTER Drustic Punitive Action Is Taken by Health Chief of the Stale "Tliq course of the Stale Depart ment of Health in regard to the quar-antine established last night at. midnight against Lancaster for vio lation of tlie orders of the depart ment, and relative to the action of Mayor E- V. Babcock. of Pittsburgh, in issuing a proclamation raising certain restrictions in that city to morrow, will depend upon develop ments," was the statement made at. the State Health Department to-day. This department is one of the few open", almost everything else at the Capitol having closed because of the approach of the election. During the day Dr. B. F. Royer, the acting commissioner of health, will consult with the Attorney Gen eral over the long distance telephone and outline procedure which may be necessary. No intimation that any further drastic steps Will be taken in regard to Lancaster has been given. Many telegrams protesting against the order have been received, includ ing some from traveling men who have threatened to appeal to the United States Railroad Commission. However, representatives of the United States Health Service-are act ing In conjunction with Dr. Royer. Order Is Obeyed Reports from Lancaster, said men at the State Health Department, were that the quarantine was being obeyed by railrads and trolley lines. Representatives of the depart ment have been instructed to make observations on the effect of the Babcock proclamation in Pittsburgh to-morrow and Monday. The city of Lancaster was placed under quarantine last night by Act ing Commissioner of Heajth Royer for failing to observe the closing ban in the matter of sales of liquors and almost at the same time Mayor E. V. Babcock, of Pittsburgh, is sued a proclamation raising the ban in defiance of the state. The Royer order fofbids any trains or trolley cars to allow pass engers to enter or leave the city and was taken with the sanction of the attorney general. The action is the most drastic ever taken by a state official. The proclamation is as follows: "WHEREAS, an interview with the President Judge of the Courts of Lancaster county has been widely disseminated and published in the newspapers of the city of Lancaster, in which interview Ihe said Judge is quoted as having stated that in , his opinion the Commissioner of I Health does not have legal author i ity to close the saloons, which state ment the said Judge has not seen ' lit to retract or deny. "AND WHEREAS, by reason of the said published interview, or for some other unknown reason, a con siderable portion of the saloons of the city of Lancaster have publicly opened in defiance of the orders of the Commissioner of Health: "AND WHEREAS, by reason of the said published interview, or for some other unknown reason, the mayor, police authorities, and the local Board of Health of the of Lancaster have since October 31, 1918, refused to co-operate with or assist in any way the Commissioner of Health in the enforcement of the orders which have been issued dur ing the present epidemic: "AND WHEREAS, by reason of the said published interview, it is useless for the Commonwealth to institute prosecutions for violations of the said orders because the alder men of the city of Lancaster are unwilling to return such cases to court, and if returned, true bills would in all probability not be found by any Grand Jury of Lancaster county: "AND WHEREAS, every other available process for securing an observance of the orders of the Com missio"her of Health in the city of Lancaster has been exhausted, THEREFORE, I, Benjamin Frank lin Royer, Acting Commissioner of Health, have this, first, day of No vember, 1918, declared the city of Lancaster to be under quarantine and have directed the railroad com panies, the streot railway companies and other common carriers to dis continue aftor twelve o'clock mid night this day tho carrying of pass engers to and from the city of Lan caster except federal and state offi cials and representatives on official business, and shall take such other measures us present conditons will permit to further make the said quarantine effective; this quarantine to continue until the Acting Com missioner of Health is assured that the said orders are being and will continue to be strictly complied with in the city of X>ancaster, or un til the general order directing the closing of amusement places and saloons is rescinded. "This action is taken for the pur pose of protecting the people living outside of the city of Lancaster from any possible further dissemination of influenza due to premature relax ing of restrictions; for the purpose of protecting other municipalities from similar lawlessness under the protection of duly constituted au thorities which might result from the precedent which the city of Lan caster would establish; and for the purpose of preserving the dignity and efficiency of the laws which have been adopted by this Commonwealth for the protection of the lives and health of its people. "With deep regret, 1 realize that this action may be burdensome to citizens of Lancaster who have been loyal to the state, many of whom have been affected by the regulations and have faithfully and cheerfully supported their requirements. To these I can only say that the burden has been deliberately placed upon them by their fellow citizens .and officials." The following telegram whs sent to D. N. Bell, General Passenger Agent, Pennsylvania •ailroad; Ed son J. Weeks, General Passenger Agent, Reading Railroad; W. F. Eckert, Superintendent of the Wil mington and Columbia Division of the Reading Railroad; the Superin tendent of the Conestoga Traction Company, Lancaster and other rail road and traction officials: "In the pursuance of the authority vested In me by law as Acting Commissioner of Health of the Commo'nwealth of Pennsylvania, I have this first day of November, 1918, declared the city of Lancuster to be under quarantine and do hereby direct that after twelve o'clock midnight of the said first day of November, 1918, all railroad companies, street rullway companies and other common car rier# shall discontinue carrying of passengers to and from the city of Lancaster except federal and state officials and representatives on offi cial business, "This quarantine to remain In ef- C.

Comment On Habcock When advised of the proclamation issued by Mayor Babcoek, of Pitts burgh, Dr. Uoyer made the follow ing statement: "Judging from the proclamation of Mayor Babcock as it has been reported to me by tele phone, it sounds like an invitation on the part of the Mayor of a great city to i.nvite lawlessness and dis order. It certainly cannot be in the interest of public health and public wolfare. It is very unfortunate that on the eve of an election tho Mayor of a great city should not stand solidly back of the state and show a greater willingness to en force orders. "I must defer making any an nouncement regarding what action will be taken by the State Depart ment of Health i.n enforcing the closing order until ufter I have con ferred with the Attorney General's office and with representatives of the Public Health Service. "The deaths in Pittsburgh today were greatly in excess of yesterday, also the inlluenza epidemic Is spread ing rapidly in the following towns in Pittsburgh district and has not yet reached its' height In any of them. The towns are Curtlsville, Glassport, Moon Hun, Oakdale, Eli zabeth, Carnegie, Braddock, and the collerles of Alliquippa, Woodawn, and Colona. Approximately sixty per cent, of the collerles in the vicinity of Pittsburgh are closed at the present time."
