8 COBLENZ COURT CONVICTS HUNS IN ENEMY PLOT Trio of Germans Found Guilty of Distributing Prop aganda By Associated Press "Coblenz, Feb. 6.—Three Germans have been convicted in military courts here during the past few days on the charge of circulating enemy propaganda among American troops in the occupied area of Ger many. The distribution of material which Intelligence officers regard as propaganda has been arrived at in various ways. It has been given away as post cajds and sold in stores. One shopkeeper was convicted after having offered for sale a watch fob with American and German flags crossed upon it. At Treves recent ly a thousand post cards were con fiscated by AmeHean officers. They pictured a beautiful German woman with a handful of strings and at the other end of the strings were com paratively tiny French, British and American soldiers dancing to her caprice.

"I was nervous, had no appetite, and suffered with pains from indi gestion," says Mrs. Leah Fox, of Palmyra, Pa. "On account of stomach troubles I had, I could not eat, my system was rundown and caused much nervousness. At Boger's Drug Store in Lebanon, Pa., I bought Tonall and immediately after I be gan using it, 1 began to pick up, my appetite came back good and strong, and I gained in flesh. I find so many people who use Tonall, praise it as doing wonders for them, and my friends everywhere give it the best endorsement, and recom mend It above all others." This testimonial was given Jan. 25, 1919. Tonall is sold at Gorgas' Drug Store, Harrisburg, and at the Her shey Drug Store, Hershey, Pa., and M. K.

D. Hammelbaugh Wei- Plans Appeals From In- comes Delegates of Associa creased Taxation tion of Secretaries County commissioners, when they discovered to-day that an attorney for the coal companies holding land in this county, was comparing prop erty assessments with sale prices in various districts, anticipated that the •companies will make a hard fight to prevent any big increase in the valuation of the coal fields. The lawyer when questioned did not deny the purpose of his search and the commissioners said they be lieve the information which is gath ered will be used in the court pro ceedings which will in all probabil ity follow when the coal land values are advanced. The officials declared they will see that similar comparisons are made in an effort to have all county prop erty assessed on an equitable a basis as possible. To-day they conferred with borough counclimen, the asses sor and other officials from a town near Harrisburg. It was found that the values of some of the properties were too low and tney were ad vanced. Similar conferences will be held during the next few weeks' before the appeals are heard. The com missioners said it wil lrequire at least two months work to complete the tri-ennial assessment but that they are determined to have the valuations correct when they are fixed finally. Plans for the coal land procedure will be completed as soon as the report of the expert engineers Is re received. Every effort will be made to have a complete and accurate record ready to present when these cases are heard. All the officials anticipate an appeal to the courts by the coal companies and are pre paring to furnish, conclusive proof of the actual value of the lands owned by the operators.

A mutual insurance company to insure school properties throughout the state was favored at the sixth annual convention of the Association of School Board Secretaries of Pennsylvania at the Penn-Ha'rris Hotel to-day. A committee was au thorized to study means for the in stitution of such a company if it be found practicable. The commit tee will be named during the after noon. Speaking on "Application and En forcement of the Compulsory School Attendance Law," Harry L. Graham, of Butler, told that the compulsory school attendance laws in this state aer miserably inadequate. Radical changes are needed in the school law, for the present laws have fail ed in promoting attendance. Knowledge And not age should be the measure on which judgment is passed whether or not a child should be permitted to leave school, Mr. Beaver declared. The age system has failed. If the knowledge system prevailed, children desiring to leave school would apply themselves with greater energy for they would real ize that the sooner they get the necessary information the sooner they will be able to leave school, he believes. As the system now is, many children merely dawdle along until they are old enough to leave school, Mr. Butler declared. The address of welcome was de livered by D. D. Hammelbaugh, sec retary of the Harrisburg board. Mrs. E. H. S. McCauley, of Beaver, responded. Addresses in addition were given by A. L. Castle, of Ches ter, who spoke on "Insurance on School Property"; R. S. Kelly, Mon essen, "Standardization of School Equipment and Supplies"; Ferdi nand Reisgen, Ford City, "Ttaxation and School Finances," and John D. Hughes, of Scranton, "Prevention of Waste in Schools." Dr. Nathan C. Schaeffer, superintendent of public instruction, gave an exterporaneous talk on the. subject of taxation in its relation to school finances. At this afternoon's meeting the sucjects discussed were: "Problems of Secretaries of Fourth Class Dis tricts," by A. H. Palmer, West Tay lor township; "Proposed School Legislation," F. L. Bensinger, Franklin; '.'Problems of Secretaries of Third Class Districts," A. D. Jac quett, Unlontown; "Unifying Ac counts of School Districts," R. S. Scobel. Erie; "Problems Caused by Conditions Arising from the War and the Epidemic," Charles H. Mey er, Johnstown; "Our Association; its Future," William J. Byrnes, Jr., of Lower Merion township; "The Sec retary's Duties in Connection With the School Employes' Retirement System," Dr. H. H. Baish, Harris burg, secretary State Retirement Board.

D. The medical books name many drugs that will move the bowels. The drug store shelves are loaded down with laxatives, purgatives and pills.. The trouble with most of them is the after-effects. Consti pated people know that pills work all right for a little while, but they soon lose their effect, and a change has to be made to something else. The constant taking of pills results in a form of bowel Inactivity that is difficult to cure. The system be comes so accustomed to laxative drugs that the organs just won't work without them, and so the pill habit becomes as .bad as constipa tion itself. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., seems to me to have the right idea. He says the bowels should first be gently moved with Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, and in 'the mean time laxative foods only should be eaten. Figs, prunes, olive oil, spin ach, bran vegetables and fruits are fine for constipation. Chew every bite thoroughly, eat little meat and be as active as possible. Now, doesn't that seem sensible? Pleas ant Pellets will start the bowels working right; then it ip up to you to keep them right by right eating Try Pleasant Pellets for sick head ache, coated tongue, biliousness dizziness, torpid liver or to break up a cold. They are just fine! Dr. Pierce's Anodyne Pile Oint ment soothes, cools and heals piles In a most gratifying way. Per haps there Is no other remedy for this torturing trouble that relieves so surely and quickly. Dr. Pierce believes Anodyne Pile Ointment will overcome any case that can be overcome by medical treatment Try It right now. Dr. Pierce's Anurlc Tablets are Intended for people who suffer from kidney disorders whose backs ache, and whose systems are over run with uric acid. Nearly every body has too much uric acid. Anurlc Tablets dissolve uric acid quickly as they are made double strength.

State Agricultural Statistics Reveal Extent of Gain in a Year Pennsylvania's ranking as an ag ricultural State was never more em phasized than during the past year, when the war attracted attention to the possibilities of the farming in dustry and brought to the general public for the first time figures which showed that Pennsylvania ranked tenth among all the States in the value of its farm crops. Pennsylvania's diversified agricul ture depends on no one crop, but the nine staple crops are corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, buck wheat, hay and tobacco. Its rank ing in the production of these nine crops is eighth with such great agri cultural states as Illinois, lowa, Min nesota, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and South Dakota leading in the order ■ named.
