"I COULD NOT BE STILL AFTER A BLESSED RELIEF" SHE SAID "With such blessed results, my conscience would not let me refuse to endorse such a worthy medicine as Natonex. I have nothing but gTatitude and praise for Natonex which, in my mind, is a wonderful medicine. I have reason to be grateful because it gave me the only relief I got after spending thousands of dollars." This was the splendid statement of Mrs. Margaret Altemose. of Noxen, Pa., who has told of her severe case and its relief so that others can profit by her experience. "I doctored and doctored, and was always told I had something different. Instead of getting bet ter I get worse.

ASK TROLLEY ON HERR STREET Public Service Commission Requested to Extend its Line on That Thoroughfare The Public Service Commission has received the following letter from owners of property on Herr street especially the section which will be developed In the expansion of the city. On August 17, 1917, your Honor able Board recommended that the Harrisburg Railways Company build a new line on Herr street under the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, to the Hill with proper connections, cross overs and otherwise, to afford ample facilities for the present pop ulation in that section, and for its prospective development. It is cer tain that war conditions prevented the accomplishment of your recom mendations, and this company was Justified in not doing this work, but these conditions have certainly changed, and now the strongest pressure has been, and is now being brought by the United States and State authorities, and by all Cham bers of Commerce, and other pro gressive bodies of all cities, to have public and private work done to the limit. Plans are now under way in this city by the Chamber of Com merce, and others to promote build ing of homes, which are much need ed, and yet the one great help, and that which would be of greatest use in this direction, so far, has been denied this city. There are one hundred acres of vacant land within a few squares of the physi cal center and also of the center of population, the greater part of it has all other facilities, including sewers, electric lights, water and gas. and yet for the want of etreet cars, this plot is now available for houses. Two years ago good and sufficient reasons were given your honorable body for this street car line extension. To-day these reasons are all greatly intensified and added to. The State Arsenal with its many employes is without proper street car facilities. It is proposed in this neighborhood to construct the arm ory and buildings necessary to ac i commodate the troop of State police \ to be stationed in or near this city. In closing it can .be said that with proper street car lines, this section of the city, almost within its cen ter. will rapidly build up with 1 houses so badly needed. The construction of the proposed memorial bridge at State street will stop the operation of cars for some time, and a great portion of the pop ulation on the Hill will have to walk to or use automobiles. Several years ago a petition signed by more than four thousand people, mostly living on the Hill, and all interested, asking the Harrisburg Railways Company to do just about what is contained im this communi cation. was presented to the Rail ways company, and is still In their possession. _ CAPITAL, CTTT REALTY CO..

Tax Receiver Bill Simply Slaughtered The Senate bill providing for county receivers of State and county taxes in counties containing between 135,000 and 200.000 population got the worst defeat of the session. Only fifteen members voted for it and 135 against it. Mr. Cook, York, attack ed it as a vicious measure when Mr. Millar, Dauphin, called it from the postponed calendar and out lined objections to it on the ground of expense. Mr. Lanius, York, sup ported him, saying the York dele gation was united on at least one measure. No one spoke for the bill. The House passed the amend ments to the escheat law by 185 to 1 and cleared the calendar of ap propriation bills. A quarter of a million dollars was added to the memorial budget appropriation, making it $750,000. The bill for bidding sale of foods, drugs and preparations containing wood alco hol was the last House bill to be passed as immediately after all House bills were dropped as there is no hope of passing them. The House refused to concur in the Senate amendments to the teach ers' salary bill. The House refused to drop from the calendar, the Geological survey supplement which was moved by Mr. Benchoff, Franklin, chfcirman of the committee in charge.

DEATHS Heart Disease, Pneumonia and Tuberculosis the Fac tors, Report Shows Washington, June 25.—The Cen sus Bureau's annual compilation of mortality statistics for the death registration area In the United States shows 1,062,822 deaths as having occurred in that area In 1817, representing a rate of 14.2 per 1,000 of population. Of these deaths, nearly one-third were due to three causes—heart disease, pneumonia and tuberculosis—and nearly an other third resulted from the fol lowing nine causes: Bright's disease and nephritis, apoplexy, cancer, diarrhea and enteritis, arterial dis eases, Influenza, diabetes, diphtheria and bronchitis. The death-registra tion area of the United States lu 1917 comprised twenty-seven States, the District of Columbia and forty three cities In nonregistration States, with a total estimated popu- 3 lation of 75,000,000, or about enty-three per cent, of the esti mated population of the United States.

June 25.—The question of reparations is still delaying comple tion of the Austrian treaty owing to the difficulty of aligning the small eastern states on any general scheme for a division of the finan cial obligations and the claims re sulting from the break-up of the Hapsburg monarchy, with conse quent elimination of Its responsibil ity for reparations. American experts have conducted negotiations with representatives of the states inheriting parts of the Hapsburg domains, including Po land, Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia and Rumania, for several weeks, but the results have been unsatisfac tory to the Council of Four, and French experts are now trying their hands. The problem Is decidedly compli cated, because, on the one hand.
