EWS OF STEELTON
COATES NAMED
'CRAWLINK DEVIL'
BY HUN GUNNERS
Colored Soldier Braved Fire
of Enemy to Repair
Wire Fences
How John J. Coates, a former
workman at the local steel plant and
now a member of the 317 th Engi
neers. a crack colored outfit, became
known among the Germans as the
W "Crawling Devil," is told in a letter
1 writtety by Corporal John D. Scott,
now a member of a casual compauy
at Camp Upton.
Scott was sent to a hospital at
St. Nazalre and there heard a nurse
speak of the "Crawling Devil." He
inquired and was told that Coates
had been given this name by tlie
Hun machine gunners, who had
watched him crawl out of the
trenches and repair wires in face
of intense machine gun and shell
-fire.
: 4 ,tt in his letter tells how several,
captured German machine* gunners
were telling Coates' captain how
they flnally get the "Crawling Devil"
when Coates appeared and reported
to the captain.
John J. Coates was well known
here and was employed as a laborer
in the steel plant for several years.
He left the borough in 1917.

Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises
Tells Safe ainl Simple Way to
Treat aiul Relieve at Home
If .you have catarrh, catarrhal
deafness -or head noises caused by
catarrh, or if drops in your
throat and lias caused catarrh of the
stomach or bowels you will be glad
to know that these distressing symp
toms may be entirely overcome in
many instances by the following
treatment which you can easily pre
pare in your own home at little cost.
I Secure from your druggist 1 ounce
of Parniint (Double Strength.) Take
I this home and add to it U pint of
| hot water and a little granulated
sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one
tublcspoonful four times a day. An
improvement is sometimes noted af
ter the first day's treatment. Breath
ing should become easy, while the
j distressing head noises, headaches,
; dullness. cloudy thinking. etc.,
! should gradually disappear under the
j tonic action of the treatment. Ldss
| of smell, taste, defective hearing and
i mucus dropping in the back of the
| throat are other symptoms which
I suggest tlie presence of catarrh and
! which may often be overcome bv this
| efficacious treatment. It is said that
I nearly ninety per cent, of ail car
j troubles are caused by catarrh and
j there must, therefore, be many peo
j plo whose hearing may be restored
i by this simple, harmless, home treat
; ment.

"It just occurred
♦* • i
to me,"
remarked the Ad man, "that some people do not
know what the Hershey Creamery looks like."
"I believe you are right," said Mr. Hershey.
"You see," said the Ad man, "we have been talk
ing a great deal about the inside of your plant and
how you make ice cream and so on."
"It would be a good idea to put a picture of your
freezers in the newspaper so that people will become
acquainted with your facilities.
"You have without doubt, the finest equipped
plant in the state, and the people will certainly be
glad to see what it looks like."
"Yes," observed Mr. Hershey, "we have put a
great many thousand dollars into our building and
equipment, and I surely would like to ha*"* nonle
come and visit our plant.
"Very few people have seen how ice cream is
made. I have told you in detail about our entire
business, but it would please me more to have peo
ple come fcere and visit us and see for themselves
just how we make HERSHEY'S SUPERIOR ICE
CREAM.
"You might invite the people through the news
paper to come to visit our plant, and tell them that I
will be only too happy to. show them through out
place from top to bottom."
"That's fine," remarked the Ad man, "very fine.
The more people visit your plant the more will they
appreciate all the facilities you have for making the
best quality ice cream that can be made.
"From what I have seen and\what you have told
me there is no question but that you make the finest
quality ice cream in the state."
So now, dear reader, you are especially invited
to visit the Hershey Creamery Company's plant and
see with your own eyes the things you have read
about in these talks. You will surely marvel at
some of the things you will see here.
When you eat HERSHEY'S SUPERIOR ICE
CREAM, of course you are delighted with its de
licious taste and superb smoothness, but you have,
perhaps given little thought to where and how it is
made.
The Hershey Creamery Company's Plant is real
ly your plant, so you see it is really your duty to
inspect it. The picture at the bottom of this talk
shows the freezers. There are many other interest
ing pictures to show you and some of them will be
printed in this paper.
