Disabled Soldiers Attract At
tention Throughout
London
London, Sept. 10. —Disabled Brit
ish officers who have been dis
charged from the service but who
are unable to live on their pensions
are attracting attention by the novel
methods they are using to earn a
little extra money.
Two of them appeared in Blooms
burg recently. Each wore his serv
ice tunic with wound stripes. Be
tween them they trundled a street
piano and the man who turned the
handle wore the ribbon of the Mili
tary Cross. On the back of the
piano was a placard bearing these
words:
"1914—Not too proud to fight."
"1919—Not too proud to ask a
gratuity."
"I am not at the last myself,"
said one of the officers, "but I
couldn't see my friend go into the
street with his machine alone. He
cannot get work and he cannot get
his gratuity, and he cannot live on
a pension of SIOO a year. His leg
was shattered, and he wears a sil
ver splint. He was in a hospital
nineteen months. They give him a
pension of SIOO a year, but he can't
get medical treatment, and the
money due htm as gratuity is not
paid him by the Government. No
doubt the Government will eventu
ally pay it, but meanwhile he has to
live.
"We are going to take this ma
chine back. We had no idea the
experience would be so humiliating.

NEW DISCOVERIES WILL
COMBAT "FLU" EPIDEMIC
Now York, Sept. 10.—A new gen
eral outbreak of "Spanish flu," pre
dicted for the coming winter in
a recent warning by Dr. Royal 8.
Copeland, Health Commissioner for
New York City, has given rise to
alarmed speculation as to the pre
paredness ot medical science to
cope with another epidemic of the
dreaded disease. Dr. Copeland. an
ophthalmologist of international
reputation, and late a member of
the medical section of the Council
of National Defense, says that the
country is to undergo another siege
of the influenza which took such
a great toll of lives last year, and
the health department of New York
is laying its plans accordingly.
Whether the recurrence of the
"flu" is to prove as generally fatal
as it did when it first raised its
head a year ago depends almost
entirely on the progress the coun
try's medical men can make in the
perfection of a serum to fight tho
disease, and practicing physicians
are greatly encouraged in this con
nection by what has been done by
experts of the big medical schools.
The uncertainty as to the nature
of the infection, the varied charac
ter of the effects found in the lungs
of different patients, and the mul
tiplicity of the various complicating
organisms which invade the lungs
when weakened by the influenza,
have combined to make exceedingly
difficult the task of finding a serum,
but recent experiments by promi
nent members of the staff of the
Harvard Medical School indicate
that science will face a new epi
demic with a far greater hope of
success than before.
Although the Harvard Medical
School has been very much handi
capped by the large number of its
experts who have been in military
service, and is said to have had
no available funds for making an
intensive study of the last epidemic
of the influenza, a number of its
instructors have made independent
investigations for the Government
which have shed important light on
the nature of the disease and on the
best methods of fighting it.

JOHN MITCHELL
DIES IN HOSPITAL
Former Mine President Un
derwent Operation Ten
Days Ago
New York, Sept. 10.—John Mit
chell, former president of the United
Mine Workers of America and one
of the most widely known labor
leaders in the United States, died
late yesterday afternoon at tl}e Post
Graduate Hospital.
Mr. Mitchell was only 49 years
old. Although he underwent an
operation ten days ago for the re
moval of gall stones, his condition
had been reported as entirely satis
factory and his death was wholly
unexpected by his friends, as he had
been ill only a few days before he
was taken to the hospital.
With Mr. Mitchell when he died
were his wife, a son and daughter.
Governor Smith, who had called to
inquire ab.out his condition, arrived
only a few minutes after he had
breathed his last. It was said by
his physicians that while there had
been every reason to expect his re
covery, Mr. Mitchell had failed to
rally from the effects of the opera
tion.
Since 1915 Mr. Mitchell had been
chairman of the New York State
Rirrihburg telegrxfb
members of Harvard's medical
staff, who were serving at the time
In the medical corps of the Navy,
Indicate that many of those who
will be attacked by the "flu" this
coming winter will be saved by a
serum developed from convalescent
patients, a thing which was prac
tically unknown At the time of last
year's sudden spread of the disease.
One of the experts, Dr. F. H. Rapo
port, conducted experiments with
315 serums, finding 54 per cent
positive. In a joint report for the
Navy Department. Drs. E. W. Good
pasture and F. L. Burnett have
made noteworthy contributions to
the understanding of the various
germs which follow the influenza
and which so often have proved
fatal to the weakened patient. Drs.
L. W. McGuire and W. R. Redden
experimented with 151 patients on
a serum from convalescents, and,
with only six resultant deaths,
found that the serum greatly re
duced mortality and shortened the
course of the disease. Dr. J. J.
Keegan and Dr. M. J. Rosenau re
ported findings equally encouraging.
It is largely for the purpose of
fighting just such epidemics as this
predicted new outbreak of the "flu"
that the alumni of Harvard are
said to be campaigning for addi
tional funds. Two and a half mill
ions of the eleven million dollar
endowment fund which is to be
raised this fall are to be devoted
to the needs of the Harvard Medical
School, to provide adequate income
for general medicine and surgery,
for pediatrics and obstetrics, and
for the intensive study of occupa
tional diseases and such world
wide epidemics as the "Spanish flu."
Medical men enlisted in the big
campaign contend that the success
with which the coming epidemic
will be met will depend largely on
how well the laboratories and re
search departments of the big medi
cal schools are equipped to face the
situation, and the large share of
Harvard's general endowment which
is to go to its medical school shows
that Harvard's alumni are anxious
to see the problem of the influenza
solved, and solved immediately.
The largest lot cataloged is one
containing 1,500,000 Russian squir
rel. Among the expensive pelts
are 8,000 sable, 7,000 Russian sable,
and 700 silver fox. The Russian
sable alone, it is believed, will
bring $2,000,000, Philip B. Fouke,
the auctioneer, said.
Large lots to be sold include:
5665,000 muskrat, 230,000 marmot,
310,000 white hare, 150,000 civet
cat. 200,000 Australian opossum,
280,000 American opossum, 190,000
ermine, 110,000 Japanese fox, and
6 00,000 pounds of rabbit skins.
The sale will continue through
September 20.

FIST IS QUICKER
THAN THE SWORD
Americans Billeted in Vladi
vostok Have Made Big
Impression There
New York, Sept. 10.—The Cos
sack sword may be mighty, but the
American fist is quicker.
The Cossack with the unwieldy
burnished blade, who was a little
late in removing the weapon from
his scabbard after he'd picked an
argument with a Yank —he'll say so.
Seven thousand American soldiers
are billeted in and around Vlad
ivostok, eager to get home. When
they do go they will have impressed
upon the Allied military outfits of
about thirty nations that cold steel
isn't absolutely necessary to main
tain physical supremacy in an ar
gument.
To-day, the American soldier
stands in Siberia as the unconquered
cave-man, dyed-in-the-wool cham
pion of his own rights. He isn't
looking for trouble—but when he
meets it—bing! Christopher Scaifc,
formerly director of Y. M. C. A.
Army and Navy work in Siberia, tes
tifies to that. Mr. Scaife has just
arriyed from Vladivostok.
"Often I have seen as many as 30
nationalities represented in uniform
in the International Red Triangle
hut at Vladivostok," explained
Scaife. "Naturally, dissension crops
out occasionally. Nothing serious.
Just a little scrap. And they don't
tr_l on our boys, either.
"Now take for instance a peeved
Cossack. H has his long sword,
which he will brandish upon provo
cation. In contrast, the American
soldier unlike the Cossack, the
Japanese or other soldiers in Si
beria, has no side-arm. Well, when
he gets into an argument with the
Cossacks he labors under handicap.
While the Cossack is tugging away
at his sword, Mr. American packs a
sledge-hammer fist blow upon Mr.
Cossack's nose, and Mr. Cossack
aviates to the solar regions before
descending."
Footpads Killed
Bank Messenger, Is
Belief of Police
Milford, Conn., Sept. 10. —Devel-
opments in the case of Benjamin
Binkowitz, a New York bank mes
senger whose murdered body was
found in woods here on August 20,
turned to-day to attempts to make
identity absolute and to determine
whether he was slain near where his
body was found or in New York
state. The body was disinterred but
was in__such a condition that his
mother, here to view it, was not. al
lowed to do so. New York police
officers present inclined to the belief
that Binkowitz met death here at
the hands of thieves who had trailed
him from New York.
Just Apply This Paste
and the Hairs Vanish
(Helps to Beauty)
A safe, reliable home-treatment
for the quick removal of super
fluous hairs from your face or neck
is as follows: Mix a stiff paste with
some water and powdered delatone,
apply to objectionable hairs and af
ter 2 or 3 minutes rub off, wash the
skin and the hairs are gone. This
simple treatment is unfailing and
no pain or inconvenience attends its
use, but to avoid disappointment be
certain you get genuine delatone.

A prominent New York Dentist has

Epithol which works wonders in
just such cases and it is sold here
in Harrisburg in one ounce jars by
H. C. Kennedy, Geo. A. Gorgas and
other leading druggists on_ an abso

quickly. Its promptness, certainty
and ease in overcoming diseases of
the gums are a revelation to those

Hun l.lttlr Chance of 111 Effects
from "Flu" People With
Thin W'cnk Blood Should

People with good red blood should

duty In the blood is to fight off germs
and waste matter and carry them out
of the system.
It's the advice of a noted physician
that people who are pale and have no
energy und who feel despondent over
their lack of strength and good red
blood should begin at once to revital
ize their impoverished blood. Renewed
blood, strength and force will be their
greatest fortification against the
"Flu."
Thin, weak blood can best be
strengthened by an effective blood
food such as Novo San (meaning new
blood). Novo San is not a stimulant
that gives you Immense strength
magically but is a pure and efficient
blood builder made of elements that
gain almost Immediate access to the

a blood builder because of Its power
to add white corpuscles to the blood

White corpuscles being the health
protectors of our system and as Novo
San is recommended to add white

can do nothing better for yourself
than to go to-day to any good drug
