"WONDER MEDICINE"
FROM THE WEST
COMES TO HARRISBURG
Nu Vim, The Iron Weed
Tonic That Created Such
a Sensation by Relieving
the Sick and Run-Down
—Soon to Be Demon
strated at Gorgas' -
Drug Store
"Out of .the west," like young
Lochinvar, has come a remedy with
a wonderful but well-earned repu
tation.
The sick, the ailing, the discour
aged—rheumatic cripples—the weak,
pale and poorly nourished—sufferers
from stomach, kidney, liver and
bowel disorders —have flocked to
the western demonstrations of Nu
Vim, listened to the testimony of
their friends and fellow townsmen.
Doubters have been convinced by
the hundreds. They doubt no more,
because they have seen in their own
homes, on their own bodies, the
proof that Nu Vim well deserves the
name of "Wonder Medicine."
Nu Vim's introduction In Phila
delphia. Camden. Wilmington and
other eastern cities has been fol
lowed by seemingly impossible re
sults, after all else had failed.
Stories told by those who had suf
fered hopelessly for years before
Nu Vim came, are well-nigh incred
ible.
It will be a joyous day for the
sick and suffering of Harrisburg
when it is announced, "NU VIM IS
HERE."
Watch for that day—wait for it
hopefully—go to these 'demonstra
tions and be convinced' that there is
a "Balm in Gtlcad" —a new health
hope—a new promise of release
from pain and illness even for the
most downhearted und discouraged.
Mark well the place—soon, very
soon, the demonstrator of N'u Vint
will be in Harrisburg at Uorgas'
Drug Store. . ...

HAHJRISBURG TELEGItAPH
CALLS 28TH BOYS
"CRACK" DIVISION
Pennsylvanians Always in
Thickest Fighting, Says
Returned Pastor
Philadelphia, Feb. 17.—Pennsyl
vania's Twenty-eighth (Iron) Divi
sion became known as tlic "crack"
division of the American army, a -
cording to tho Rev. Robert P. Zeb
| ley, who has returned to his home,
j oJO4 Chestnut street, after almost
j two years spent in Y. M. C. A. work
t abroad.
j "Wherever the lighting was most
I furious and it seemed us if the Ger
■ mans might have a chance to break
; through or stem the American of
j fensive the men of the Iron Division
| were sent," ho said,
j Mr. Zebley formerly was pastor
|of v Grace Baptist Church, Camden.
He was one of the fifty-seven "Y"
workers on board the Oronsa when
that ship was torpedoed.
"I was with the Twenty-eighth
Division at Camp Hancock," he said,
"and the wonderful drive at Cha
teau Thierry. Tho men went into
action on the south side of the
Maine in June and were lighting
continuously as long ajs the Amer
icans held the sector.
| "At La Channel, where Quentin
Roosevelt was shot down, the ground
I changed hands eight times. The
lighting was in the open, and there
were no dugouts except holes just
I big enough for a man to get in.
These were mtjde by the boys about
twenty-five or thirty yards apart as
they climbed up the hill and finally
held the ground. Eight Germans
fell to every American. 1 was fol
lowing along with the headquarters.
Praises 107 th Artillery
"X want to say a few words about
the 107 th Field Artillery. The First
battalion went out across the river
Vesle right in front and brought
back prisoners, the only incident of
the kind 1 believe of the war.
"The machine gun men did tre
mendous work; sometimes food
reached them once a day and some
times not, but it made-no difference
to their magnificent courage. Every
bit of food iiad to bo taken over the
river to Fismes and Fismette across
a pontoon bridge at night under
shell lire and machine gun tire.
"The Y. M. C. A. men took sup
plies to the machine gun battalion in
the same way and under the same
lire, and was highly commended af
terward by the senior captain.
"We went to the Argonne. In
stead of resting after the live days'
march the Twenty-eighth went right
into thccenter of the forest, the in
fantry supported by five times the
usual artillery. The light artillery
was right in the infantry trenches
when the battle opened.
"A French general said we would
never get the Germans out, and a
great english statesman declared
that the Huns could not be driven
out of the Argonne, but if this was
done the battle was over. In a month
the Germans were out of the Ar
gonne and a month later the armis
tice was signed."
German Spike as Souvenir
"LOok at this souvenir," said Doc
tor Zebley. "It will give you some
idea of what the Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania boys were up against."
The minister showed a four-prong
iron spike, thousands of which, he
said, were placed in front of the
gun nests to throw down the Amer
icans as they attacked.
"What impressed me was the
splendid spirit of brotherhood which
was manifest among the men and
officers. Cigarets and chocolate were
served to the men. A great quantitv
was given away, but the men in
many cases insisted on paying for
them.
"Much of the criticism leveled at
our work in France in general has
been made by wounded men, who
after being wounded never saw a
Y. M. C. A. worker, because bv an
arrangement with the Red Cross at
the suggestion of the army the Red
Cross took care of men after they
were wounded."
"The Salvation Army workers did
splendid service.
"We showed motion pictures at
Chateau Thierry in two dugouts
right in the front-line trenches. En
tertainments were eonstantlv given
just back of the artillery lines."

"Cliurlcy's Aunt," sic. will came for
Comedy Willi Music an evening of
comedy. "Char

plays ever given to the stage. Old and
young, are said to practically laugh
themselves sick at the antics of
"Dirk" Rabberly* the Harvard col
legian, who is compelled to masquer
ade as the aunt to help his pals out
of a dilemma. To see a man dressed
as a woman and disport himself on
the stage as such, has ever been of
interest to the gentler sex.

the latest light musical farces con
cocted bv Irving Berlin and 1 Will
Smith, who were responsible for that
wonderful New York Century Theater
success, "Yip-Yip-Yayhank."
Though claim is made that
"Naughy. Naughty" is distinctly a
musical show presenting over twenty
musical numbers with a numerous
girl chorus, its sponsors state that
It sets a new style in musical com
edy entertainment equal to that seen
in straight drama. Nance Mellon has
the prima donna or title role which
has brought her more rapidly to the
fore than "Home at Last." in which
she sang the leading soprano part.
Harry Bugler, Jr., is the principal fun
maker. He has created the char
acter of "Flip" which is said to he
the best thing h" has done. An Eng
lish butier is Introduced liy George
Cox. He has played every comedy

ed on for a clever characterization.

I.ilo Fee's beautiful first picture.
"The Cruise of the Mnke-Believes"
wilt be shown at the Regent Theater

an exquisite romance, is just a simple
and charming -story of a poor little
slum girl and her dreams, but Fila
Lee imparts to it a dainty charm and
vivacity that will make it a pro
duction to be long remembered by all
who see it. Miss Fee. it is recalled,
is the famous vaudeville star, "Cud

"Fatty" Arbuckle, the irrepressible

Dorothy Gish will be presented

"The Birth of a Nation" remember

Griffith masterpiece.

SENATORS MEAN
TO SPEAK FREELY
ON LEAGUE PLAN
Mean to Take Wilson at His
Word and Take Open
Stand
Washington, Feb. 17.—Before the
end of the present week Republican
leaders in the Senate intend to dis
regard the President's appeal to keep
their mouths shut about his League
of Nations plan until ho reaches the
United States and tries to convert
the into his views. This statement is
made on excellent authority.
Such powerful factors in the Sen
ate as Senator Lodge. Massachusetts,
and Knox. Pennsylvania, acknowl
edged diplomats and authorities on
international affairs, scrupulously
have refrained from precipitate com
ment on the constitution of the pro
posed league as cabled to tliis coun
try. It is emphasized!that this was by
no means because of the President's
desire for silence by the Senate until
the President's arrival in Washing
ton, but was because they and some
other Senators desire to obtain a
thorough understanding and grasp
of everything that is proposed in the
league's constitution and then speak
their minds freely and forcibly on
the floor of the Senate. •
Tlie Senate has given ample evi
dence that it is sick and itred of
"pussyfootifig" in arranging peace
with the Central Powers. Having in
mind the President's expressions in
regard to open covenants of peace
openly arrived at a strong Senatorial
[faction is determined to (ako the
President at his word and make their
part of the negotiations frank and
open.
Senators Oppose Surrender
The stnnd of a groat many Sena
tors is that the Constitution divides
equally the power of making treaties
between the President and (lie Sen
ate. The Senate does not propose to
surrender one jot or little of this
power, and believes the President-is
assuming in attempting to force
silence on this or any other similar
mater, just as much as (he Senate
would be presuming in attempting to
dictate to the President in his ncgo-
