"IT HAS PROVEN A REAL BODY BUILDER" HE TELLS "It has been proven to me that this new medicine. Xatonex, has the real body building powers. I will be glad to tell anybody what it has done for me." declared Charles Mc- Coy, car repairer at the Pennsyl vania shops, and who lives in Enola. Pa. "I suffered from stomach trouble and constipation and in the last few months it got so bad that I could hardly keep at work," Mr. McCoy explained. "I was so con stipated and my system so clogged up with poisonous waste that my food would not digest. After eat ing I would suffer from terrible pains in my side. I always felt weak and run down and some morn ings I could hardly get up courage to go to work. "When I read of Xatonex and saw how people were endorsing it I thought it must be just the medi cine I was looking for, so I had my wife get a box for me.

"I am absolutely innocent of this crime which the indictment charges me with." This letter was ten pages long and was addressed to J. P. Healey, | of Brooklyn, an acquaintance of Dr. Wilkins. The second letter was ad i dressed to Mrs. Elizabeth Muller, ; formerly a housekeeper for the Wilkins, who now lives at Monti cello. X. Y.

Orderly Who Wrecked Ambulance Disappears Clarence Himes, orderly at the j Harrisburg Hospital, who was op- I crating the ambulance early yester | day morning when it smashed into a pole at Fourth and Market streets, badly wrecking the machine and in- I juring two occupants, has been miss | ing since the accident, hospital at ! taches reported to-day. Himes re i turned the ambulance to the hos pital, and disappeared shortly there after. When a call came early yesterday morning and Walter Bax. regular driver, was not located immediately, Himes. an orderly, is said to have informed the telephone operator that he could operate the ambulance and started off with it. To-day it is said that he has had very little experience operating any machine and does not 1 have a driver's license. In turning the corner at the high rate of speed, unusual even with the regular driter, the ambulance struck the light pole and was so badly dam aged that an entire new body will be necessary to put it in usable con dition.

I am no longer bothered with the pain in my side and besides. I feel great and feel like working once more. The change is even noticeable in my looks, for I am beginning to pick up flesh. It has been proven to me that Xatonex has the real building power and I have already recommended it to several of the men at the shop who are now taking it." To some people such an endorse ment as this may seem remarkable. But it is no more remarkable than the statements given by people here daily. How Xatonex. with its com bination of famous Nature reme dies. is designed to build better bodies, is fully explained by the Xatonex representative at the Gor gas drug store, 16 North Third j street.

River Dotted With Small Pleasure Craft The churches were not as largely attended yesterday as they usually are. The day was an ideal one to spend in the open and many who are accustomed to be in their places in the sancutary. took advantage of the fine weather and spent the hours in the country. There was a delightful breeze going nearly all day. Auto mobiles by the hundreds could be seen along the River Drive. Paxtang and Reservoir Tarks were filled, as well as the parks along the River Front. Then. too. hundreds of peo ple went out of the city either by rail or trolley. It was the last Sunday prior to the beginning of the church vacation period. Scores of people went to beautiful Wildwood, where they spent the day under the trees. Many of them took lunches and did not return to their homes until cooler weather and darkness drove them away. The river was dotted with canoes and craft of all descriptions, hun dreds of those who are devoted to this pastime spending much of the day on the water. Capitol Park, too, was filled with men. women and chil dren. there being scarcely an unoc cupied bench during the hours of light. They shared their luncheon with the squirrels and pigeons. The quite little ones romped on the grass, the watchmen relaxing their vigi lance and forgetting for the time being the rules of the State.
