Mechanicsburg People Greatly
Concerned Over Increase in
Typhoid and Incendiarism
Mcchmiiesburg, Pa., April 7. Com
batting typhoid fever, which threat
ens to become epidemic, and a series
of incendiary fires. Mechanicsburg is
doubly afflicted, and making an ef
fort to locate the origin of her troub
| les.
Indignant citizens are concerned
! over the delay in locating the source
| of the typhus outbreak, and think
i the people should co-operate with
I the State Health Department in every
I way which will be for the good of
I the town, and give information they
i may possess, which will lead to its
[ detection.
Dr. E. E. Campbell, president of
Irving Qollege, publishes a letter in
which he states emphatically that
the "truth" of the water situation
should be knftwn. Four persons have
already been victims of the typhoid
fever; two from town and two from
Irving College, while another student
is seriously ill at her home, where
she was taken in the early stages
1 of the disease.
It is estimated that between thirty
and forty cases exist at present, with
a number of persons threatened with
the fever.
Owing to the serious condition of
| many within sound of the church
I bells, janitors yesterday were re
quested to tap the bells lightly and
I ring but a short time,
j Incendiary tires are also ttie cause
of considerable anxiety, as all of the
I conflagrations lately have been of
j incendiary origin. It has recently
, developed, while investigating the
| cause of the lire which destroyed sev
! eral sliyls, that an attempt was made
to set lire to the frame building of
the I'otts Manufacturing Company
located on the corner of East Allen
street, and in close proximity to the
main plant. The fire had been built
and the match applied, but after
I burning a small bole in the side of
j the building, the fire died out. A lot
' of partly burned matches were scat
j tered about.
| An effort is being made to discover
. the fire bugs, and it will go hard with
I them when brought to justice.

JUDGE DEFINES A
"JAILBIRD"
"By committing an offense a
man becomes a jailbird, regard
less of whether he is imprisoned
or not," President Judge George
Kunkel said to-day when an at
torney pleaded that a prison sen
tence should not be imposed on a
young man who was pleading
guilty to a false pretense charge.
"We don't' believe punishment
makes them worse than they
before, and, even if it is
the first offense, when sentence is
suspended it only encourages oth
ers to violate the law because
they see that the other fellow
was not sent to jail."
When a former employer of
the defendant testified that he
had confidence in the man and
would look after him, Judge
Kunkel permitted him to enter
bail and be under the custody of
Probation Officer James T. Wal
ters. The defendant, Paul Elder,
pleaded guilty to increasing ex
press charges on packages which
he delivered, keeping the balance
above 'the amount due to the
company.

Wages of Railmen ?
Are to Be Raised; Order ,
to Issue in Few Days f
By Associated. Press.
Washington, April 7.—Wage ad
vances to be given members of the
four leading trainmen's and engine
men's brotherhoods were discussed
finally t.o-day between Director Gen
eral Hincs and the chiefs of the
brotherhoods, and the order probably
will be issued within a few days.
The order will readjust wages so as
to restore most of the differentials
between various classes of employes
existing before January 1, 1915. These _
wage relationships were disrupted by
the general wage increase granted
last year.
A few rates will be lowered, it. was
said, but the general level will be |
raised. It was reported after the con
ference to-day that the brotherhoods'
application for time and a Half pay
for overtime had not been granted.
Neither the brotherhood chiefs nor
Director General Hines would com
ment on this point.

Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets—the sub
stitute for calomel—are a mild but sure
! laxative, and their effect on the liver is {
; almost instantaneous. They are the re- '
suit of Dr. Edwards's determination not
i to treat liver and bowel complaints with
; calomel. His efforts to banish it brought 1
out these little olive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets dothe good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take [
hold of the trouble and quickly correct it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the j
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
withthegums. Sodostrong liquids. It
is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
' lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy"and
! "heavy." Note how they "clear"clouded I
J brain and how they "perk up" the spirit!. I

SEBORRHEA A
HAIR SCOURGE
Seborrhea is the scourge that
kills the hair.
It propagates the dandruff bacilli
and eventually causes baldness.
If your hair is falling out, it is"
fighting for its life.
Nature fights to supply new hair,
but with seborrhea in the seba
ceous glands each succeeding hair
is weaker.
Baldness keeps coming closer
and closer—unless FAMO is used,
j FAMO destroys the dandruff ba
j cilli. It ends all itching.
] FAMO causes the growth of new
| healthy hair.
It retards grayness—it contains
J no alcohol.
j FAMO intensifies the natural
color of the hair and adds a new
I luster and sheen.
Every member of the family
j should use FAMO regularly.
Even where the scalp is healthy,
i FAMO should be used as it will
I keep seborrhea away.
Also, it will make the hair soft
I and fluffy. Its use is a daily habit
I you will enjoy.
FAMO comes in two sizes—a
| small size at 35 cents and a big
| bottle at sl. Your money will be
! returned if you are not satisfied.
Seborrhea is the medical name for a
morbidly increased flow from the sebaceoum
I plands of the scalp. The seborrhean exrrr
j iiott forms in scaler 'or flakes and is com
monly known as dandruff.
