467 AUTOMOBILES
SOLD IN QUARTER
New Law Requires That Au
thorities Be Advised of
Vehicle Sales
Second hand automobiles to the
number of almost a half-thousand
were sold in Harrisburg during the
quarter year period between July
1 and September 30 according to
reports received at police headquar
ters.
Reports have already been re
ceived by officials of the police de
partment of the sale of 467 auto
mobiles during this time. There is,
however, a ten-day period of grace
during which sales may be re
ported. It is expected these figures
will be considerably boosted.
These reports are now being re
ceived at police headquarters and
the State Highway Department, in
accordance with a law enacted by
the recent legislature, which be
came effectiye on July 1. For July
the total sales reported are 130;
August, 175, and for September to
date, 156.
Practically every make and style
of automobile is mentioned in the
reports. Manufacturers' and en
gine numbers are given and a full
description of the machine made.
This information is given to as
sist in tracing stolen automobiles
and in locating the thieves. Detec
tives of the Harrisburg and other
police departments are required to
scan the reports at their respective
headquarters, to discover if any cars
reported missing have been sold.

CATARRH IS
NOTINCURABLE
BUT YOU CAN'T RELY ON
SPRAYS AND
INHALERS
There is no use permitting
yourself to be deceived. Per
haps, like thousands of others
afflicted with Catarrh, you are
about ready to believe that the
disease is incurable, and that
you are doomed to spend the
remainder of your days hawk
ing .and spitting, with no relief
in sight from inflamed and
stopped-up air passages that
make the days miserable and
the nights sleepless.
Of course this all depends
upon whether or not you are
willing to continue the old
time, make-shift methods of
treatment that you and many
other sufferers have used for
years with no substantial re
sults. If you are still content
to depend upon the use of
sprays, douches, inhalers, jel
lies and other like remedies by
themselves, that are applied to
the surface and cannot reach be
low it then make up your mind
now that your Catarrh will re
main a life companion and will
follow you to the grave.
You must realize that the dis
ease itself and not its symptoms,
is what you have to cure. Of
course you know that when you
are cured of any disease its
symptoms will disappear. Ca
tarrh manifests itself by inflam
mation of the delicate mem
branes of the nose and air pass-

The first hearing to be held by
the Public Service Commission on
an application for an airplane pub

day by Commissioner John S. Rill
ing to the Easton Aero Service
Company, whose projectors said that
they wanted a charter for a $lO,-
000 corporation to deliver news
papers, carry mail and packages,
stating that they would have Eas
ton as headquarters and carry pack
ages as far as New York and Phila
delphia if required. The interest
ing question for the Commission is
whether such a corporation should
be restricted to any particular routes
or territory or have the whole sky
as a field. Ylecision will be reached
next week. The projectors said
they had bought a plane and had a
licensed operator ready for busi
ness.

The blood is laden with the
Catarrh germs, which direct
their attack against the tender

nose and throat. These germs
cannot be reached by sprays or
douches, which, of course, have
no effect whatever upon the
blood.
S. S. S. is a purely vegetable
remedy, made from roots and
herbs direct from the forests,
which combat promptly any
disease germs or impurities in
the blood. This great remedy
has been used for more than
fifty years, with most satisfac
tory results. It has been suc
cessfully used by those afflicted
with even the severest cases
of Catarrh, because it drives
out from the blood the Catarrh
germs, and eliminates every
foreign substance from the
blood. S. S. S. is sold by drug
gists everywhere.
For the benefit of those af

blood diseases, we maintain a
medical department in charge
of a specialist skilled in these
diseases. If you will write us

long considered one of the most dan
gerous places on a State highway
in the vicinity of this city, were
taken before Public Service Commis
sioner John S. Killing to-day. The
State Highway Department com
plained of tho crossing some time |
ago, setting forth that it was on the I
Susquehanna Trail and William Penn |
Highways and one of the most truv- I
eled sections of road In this part 1
of the State. The State engineers
prepared a plan for a subway at the
! place and submitted it to-day to the
officials and engineers of both the
Pennsylvania and Reading systefrs. j
No objections were interposed al
though the alternate suggestion was
advanced that the road be continued
up along the canal and past the
Dauphin station to the bridge
through which Stony Creek passes, !
which it was argued would do away
with the Northern Central and Read
ing crossings as well.
Commissioner Rilling had an ex
tended conference with the engineers
and a recommendation will be made i
I to the Commission which will make
I the order and have a further hear- I
ing to apportion costs. It is believed i
that the subway plan of the High
way Department will be favored.
Just as soon as the contract is
signed for the big Memorial Bridge
the commission will begin to hold j
hearings on apportionment of costs. |
