I dresses and a prayer for the men 1
! who have fallen, after which a rib- I
| bon will bo pinned on each star in
I (he flag of the Church of God, for the
i men who have returned home. This.
! example is to be followed by other*
| churches, organizations, industries,,
and lire companies, each of whichh
will have separate sen-vices at some.j
later date. When all the stars shall,,
have been covered with their rib- j
irons, the flags are to tie rolled up I
and put away. The churches of I
Shiremanstown and Shippenshurg ,
will have services at the same time '
as the Church of God.
I Program Begins Tonight
The program will be opened with,
the, Demobilization Service, which j
takes place this evening at S o'clock ,
on the steps of "Old West" on the*
Dickinson College campus. The,
Rev. E.L. Coblentz will preside. To

tinue witli a luncheoen at the Mar
ket House at noon for the visiting

stand in front of the wourt house.
Tomorrow evening will be devoted to
amusements.
Friday Big Day
Friday, however, is the dary which
will see the crowning eventsof the
celebration. In the morning ait 9.30
o'clock there will be a grand histori
cal procession of costumed partici
pants in the county historical pag
eant. In the afternoon at two o'clorV
the pageant will be presented afv
Biddle field. The pageant, the joint
authors of which are William Homer
Ames and Harry D. Day and the
music of which was written by A.
Karl Kramer, depicts the progress
of the spirit of freedom and demo
cracy through two hundred years
ot county history. The pageant is
divided into a prologue, nine epi
sodes. and an epilogue, chosen with
reference to their historical value.
In so far as it has been possible, the
incidents and scenes most closely as
sociated with the history of parti
cular localities have been assigned
to those localities.
Represents Early History
The prologue is an allegorical I
representation of the Spirit of Free- !
dom. This is followed by the first I
episode, consisting of four scenes I
depicting the settlements of Ship- j
j Pensburg. Chambersgurg, the eastern
| section of the county and the trad
ing post in the vicinity of New Cum
berland, as well as the first settle
ment by LeTort. Episode two deals
with the treaty of '1736, made with
the twenty-three chiefs of the six
nations and formally deeding the
lands west of the Susquehanna to
the proprietors. The second scene
shows the establishment of the
county seat at Carlisle. Episode
three reveals the Indian wars with
the divers invasions, expeditions, and
flights. The fourth episode witnesses
the protest of Cumberland county
against tyranny, which meeting took
place In the First Presbvterian
j Church at Carlisle on July 12, 1774,
and was eleven months prior to the
famous Mechlenberg Declaration.
Episode five presents the Revolu
tionary period, and episode six the
Whisky insurrection, with Wash
ington's army holding its head
quarters at Carlisle. Episode seven
is the War of 1812. and Episode
eight the Civil War period. The
closing episode is developed to in
clude the war activities of Cumber
land county as a unit in the great
World struggle. The epilogue is an
allegorical representation of the
triumph of democracy.
Mrs. Ashley Cooper Ley, of New
York City, is stage director, and is
given assistance by W. Homer Ames,
author of lyrics; A. Karl Kramer!
composer of pageant music: Miss
Naomi Antoinette Ackley, director
of dances; Charles A. Goodyear,
director of chorouses, and J. Frank
Hollinger, director of the band. Spe
cial musical settings have been ar
ranged by the director of music who
is also the composer of the Victory !
March, dedicated to the returned j
soldiers.
Jacob H. Reiff is the original
chairman of the delegation which
will strive with Carlisle In its efTort
to do honor to the soldiers. Lieut.
Russel Kol.r is another man of that
locality who has labored earnestly
for the success of the celebration.
The New Cumberland township,
with Middlesex and North Middle
ton, are the three which have put
forth the greatest efforts and which
will take the most prominent part
in the program.

HERE IS ONE THING THAT
IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE
iheumatism Has Never Been
Cured by Liniments or
Lotions, and Never Will Be
You never knew of Rheumatism
—that most painful source of suf
fering—being cured by liniments,
lotions or other external applica
tions. And you will never see any
thing but temporary relief afforded
by such makeshifts.
But why be satisfied with tempo
rary relief from the pangs of puin
which are sure to return with in
creased severity, when there is per
manent relief within your reach?
Science has proven that Rheuma
tism is a disordered condition of the
blood. How then, can satisfactory
results be expected from any treat

ment that does not reach the blood,
the seat of the trouble, and rid the
system of the cause of the disease?
S. S. S. is one blood remedy that
has for more than fifty years been
giving relief to even the most ag
gravated and stubborn cases of
Rheumatism. It cleanses and puri
ties the blood by routing out all'
traces of disease. The experience
of others who have taken S. S. S.
will convince you that it will
promptly roach your case. You can
obtain S. S. S. at any drug store.

individual case, will be sent abso
