Rheumatism Leaves
You Forever
Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are
Dossolved and the Rheumatic Pois
on Starts to I.cave the System
AVlthin Twenty-four Hours.
Every druggist in this county is
authorized to say to every rheumatic
suffprer in this vicinity that if two
bottles of Allenrhu. thy sure con
queror of l-lieumatism, docs not stop
all agony, reduce swollen joints and
do away with even the slightest
twinge of rheiunatie pain, he will
gladly return your money without
Comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvelous re- ]
suits have been accomplished in the
most severe cases where the suffer
ing and agony was intense and
piteous and where the patient was
helplesp.
Allenrhu relieves at once. Imme
diately after you start to take It the
good work begins. It searches out
the uric acid deposits, dissolves the
accretions and drives rheumatic
poison out of the body through the
kidneys and bowels.
It's marvelous how quickly it acts.
Blessed relief often comes in two [
days, and even in cases where the
suffering is most painful all traces
disappear in a few days.
Mr. James 11. Allen, the discoverer
of Allenrhu, who for many years
suffered the torments of acute rheu
matism, desires all sufferers to
know that he does not want a cent
of anyone's money unless Allenrhu
decisively conquers the worst of all
diseases and he has instructed George

THURSDAY EVENING,
SHOES TOO HIGH IN PRICE
TRADE COMMISSION FINDS
Large Profits Arc Being Exacted From the Packer Down to
the Retailer,' the Report to Congress Declares •
AY n shins ton, Aug:. 7.—The Federal
Trade Commission lius found that
the high price of shoes can not be
justilied by underlying economic
conditions. The commission after
exhaustive inquiry into the prices of
hides, leather and shoes is reporting
to Congress that the larger packers
control the hide supply and have
taken excessive profits and passed
increased costs to subsequent steps
in manufacture and distribution;
the tanner has taken exceptional
profits; that the manufacturer of
shoes has taken unusual margins
and that the prices charged by the
retailer are not justifiable; each fac
tor in the industry adding to the
burden he lind to bear before ho
passed it on to the next
The summary of the Commis
sion's report is as follows:
This report treats of conditions
in the Leather Tanning Industry
including the hide trade and the
boot and shoe industry, including
the merchandising of shoes. The
period covered by the inquiry is
from 1914 to 1918 inclusive, ex
cept in regard to certain financial
data. The outstanding facts estab
lished by the inquiry are as follows:
Between 1914 and 1917 the
prices of hides, the principal
factor in the cost of producing
leather, greatly advanced and
the differential between country
hides and packer hides increas
ed beyond the usual proportion,
due to the more marked in
crease in the price of packet
hides.
' Though there was an increase
m the cost of hides to the tan
ner, the prices of his product—
leather—-advanced to a point
that could not be justified by
the cost of producing it. This
conclusion is supported by the
high rates of return on invest
ment received by tanners.
The cost ot manufacturing
shoes increased greatly between
1914 and 1917, but, as evidenced
by the high rates of return on
investment, not. to an extent
that warranted the prices at
which manufacturers sold their
product.
The absolute margins of
profit taken by retail shoe mer
chants per pair of shoes grew
wider as their costs of shoes in-
creased because their rate of
profit remained substantially
without change.
As a result the public had
to pay prices for shoes that
could not be justified not only
because retail shoe dealers took
too much profit but because
the dealer had to pass on to the
consumer the excessive profits
received by butchers for hides
and also the excess profits of
tanners and shoe manufactur
ers.
During the progress of the war
in Europe, even before the United
States became a belligerent, the de
| mand for leather and leather goods
I for the Allied nations of Europe
had a marked effect on prices. The
demand was not only for large
quantities of leather and shoes, but
there was pressure for quick de
livery. Either one of these factors
would tend to stimulate prices and
both of them together brought
rapid and marked advances in the
prit-es of both leather and shoes,
and also of hides and skins.
When the United States entered
the war. there was immediate de
mand for shoes and other equipment
made of leather to meet the re
quirements of the Army. The shoes
needed by the Government were re
quired to be made of specified high
grade leather. Only the better
grades of hides could be used in
making such leather, and as a re
sult hides, especially the better
grades, rapidly advanced in price.
The situation became so acute that
iin 1918 the War Industries Board
undertook to provide means of
supplying the tanners with hides
at fixed maximum prices. Maximum
prices for leather was also fixed
for the shoe manufacturers. The
demand for labor in other indus
tries compelled tanners and shoe
manufacturers to increase wages.

While excessive thinness .might he
attributed to various and subtle
causes in different individuals it is a
well-known fact that the lack of suf
ficient phosphorous in the human sys
tem is very largely responsible for
this condition. Experiments on hu
mans and animals by manv scientists
have demonstrated beyond question
of doubt that a body deficient in
phosphorous becomes nervous, sickly
und thin. A noted author and profes
sor in his book, "Chemistry and Food
Nutrition," published in 1918, says
"* * * that the amount of phos
phorous required for the normal nu
trition of man is seriously underes
timated in njar.y of our standard text
books."
It seems to be well established that
this deficiency In phosphorous may
now be met by the use of an organic
phosphate known throughout Eng
lish speaking countries as Bitro-
Phosphate. Through the assimilation
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
the phosphute content when absorb
ed in the amount normally required
by nature soon produces a welcome
change in our body and mind. Nerve
tension disappears, vigor and strength
replace weakness and lack of energy,
and the whole body soon loses its

MOYER "GOAT"
OF DIRECTORS,
FISHER THINKS
State lianking Head Believes
They Know More Than
They Are Telling
By Associated Press.
Philadelphia, x Aug. 7.—Ralph T.
Moyer, cashier of the North Penn
Bank "has been made the goat by
the directors," according to Statu
Banking Commissioner John S.
Fisher. Moyer is under $25,000 bail
in connection with the failure.
"It is my opinion," said the Com
missioner, "that the directors know
considerably more than they are
telling." Mr. Fishet; announced that
$lOO,OOO of the bank's outstanding
accounts had been liquidated und
that the prospects of further gains
in this direction in tho near future
were good.
New Receiver Named
Commissioner Fisher also an
nounced that Frederick L. Homsher,
of Strasburg, Lancaster county, had
been appointed receiver of the
North Penn to succeed James W.
Macßurney, whoso commission was
revoked yesterday. Mr. Maoßurnty
was removed, the Commissioner
said, on the technical ground that
a new State law prohibits an ex
aminer from liquidating an institu
tion which has boon taken over by
the Banking Department if he has
nfh.de an examination of its affairs
within a your. Macßurney exam
ined the bank last September and
resigned as an examiner the first
of the year to become an officer in
I u trust company. When tho ap-
I pointment was made Macßurney
did not know of the new law and
| Commissioner Fisher, who took of
iice in January, was not aware that
Macßurney had examined the bank.
It is said that Macßurney's report
showed the bank was then in bad
condition.
More than $lOO,OOO of the assets
of two insurance companies, it is
learned, arc tied up in the North
Penn Bank, which lias an apparent
shortage of more than $2,000,000.
They are the New York National
Insurance Company and the Scncca
Fire Insurance Company, both of
I Buffalo. The New York National
was ordered liquidated yesterday by
the Supreme Court of Erie county,
New York.
James J. Boland, of Scranlon,
Pa., is the president of both com
panies and Commissioner Fisher
said that Boland obtained money
from the North Penn Bank to pu;-
cliase the two concerns. Later ho
established accounts at the bank for
the two .companies as well as a.
personal account. His personal ac
count, Mr. Fisher said, was over
drawn to the extent of thousands of
dollars.
Scraiiton, p a . , .Aug. 7.—There
were no developments here early
yesterday in the taking over of the
New York National Insurance Com
pany of this city and Buffalo by tho
New York insurance authorities as
a result of the North Penn Bank
failure. The offices of the company
were moved from tills city about
four weeks ago and are now located
at 92 Fulton street. New York, an]
the only official now residing here
Vice-President R. S. Houck, left for
New York as soon as he learned of
Insurance Commissioner Phillips'
action.
All the officers with one exception
are local people. Boland having
been in the general insurance busi
ness here several years. His wife
is the treasurer of the company
and Vice-President Houck is city
solicitor.
The same people are interested in

pany, of Buffalo, N. Y.
American Legion to
Keep Out of Politics
The American Legion has pledg
ed itself to keep clear of politics,
according to an editorial in tho
American Legion Weekly of this
week. The magazine is one re
cording the progress of tho Legion
and is sent to every new member
for three months without charge.
The editorial follows:
"Mingling in local politics is a
temptation and pitfall which posts
throughout the country must avoid.
Everything bearing on partisan poll
tics was put aside at the Paris cau
cus and again at the St. Louis cau
cus when the American Legion was
founded. Partisan politics has been
barred successfully from every con
sideration and step in the develop
ment of the Legion thus far. This
must continue to he.
No doubt wily politicians of every
denomination will be courting the
local posts. There will be crafty
campaigns to procure an indorse
ment of this or that local issue or
candidate for public office. It would
be more than a blunder for a local
post to engage in any such activity.
It would be an act of bad faith.
Policies—not politics, is the watch
word; and the policies are confined
to the pronouncements of the St.
Louis caucus and the temporary
constitution, pending the groat "No
vember caucus, where all the men
who were in service are to express
themselves."
U. S. Invites Marshal Foch
to Pay Visit to America
Paris, Aug. 6. Marshal Foch,
commander-in-chief of tho Allied
armies, during the war, is reported
by the Echo de Paris to have been
invited by the United States Gov
ernment, as well as several organi
zation i n that country, to visit
America.
New York, Aug. 7. Marshal
Foch. of France, representing the
veterans of all the Allied armies of
which he was in supreme command
will be invited to attend the first
national convention of the Amer
ican Legion, the national organiza
tion of American veterans of the
great war, which is to be held in
Mineapolis. November 10, 11 and
12, it was announced at the nation
al headquarters here last night. Tho
invitation to Marshal Foch. signed
by Henry D. Lindsley, chairman of
the National Executive Committee,
was forwarded through Ambassador
Jusserand, at Washington.
BETTER NOW THAN LATER
The consensus of opinioh in bank
ing circles seemed to be that it was
fortunate that the issue of Govern
ment ownership should be brought
up at this time instead of later on
when the carriers have been returned
to private operation and would have
to bear the brunt of the fight against
a nationalization of the country's
transportation system. In the words
of one banker: "I welcome the de
mands of the railroad men. It is a
good thing for the country and means
an early settlement of the question.

Army Pay Check Plot
Laid to Young Officer
Atlantic City, Aug. 7.—Lieutenant
Eric V. Verill, the .thirty-year-old
Army officer arrested here yester
day at the instance of Federal au
thorities, got away with more than
$31,000 of Uncle Sam's money by
"raising" pay checks and "borrow
ing" the checks of brother officers,
according to operaties on the case.
Verill was turned over to United
States Marshal Yoll last night by
Henry W. Lewis, United States
Commissioner, after a hearing and
was taken to New York for court
martial proceedings.
STOCK DIVIDENDS
Apparently a number of companies
are getting ready to announce stock
dividends. Such annonucements are
not feasible at present owing to the
doubt which exists as to whether
such disbursements are taxable, and
until this point is cleared up by a
Supreme Court decision few com
panies would so disregard the inter
ests of their stockholders as to make
the actual declarations. In the case
of lar'-re holders of stock the Govern
ment would take a heavy toll of the
stock dividend, should it be decided
that the dividend was subject to the
income tax. At any rate stock in
creases are being proposed by sev
eral companies which have been in
a position for some time to cut a
melon. For th e present, however, the
stock, even though authorized, will
remain in the treasury of the com
pany.
