Secret of "Norba," the Piano Player, to Bs Revealed Saturday In'the windows of the C. M. Sigler Inc. Piano Store there is being held a novel exhibition for the purpose of dem onstrating player-pianos. It is in the form of a figure either wax or human which for two hoyrs plays continuously a player-piano with a realism so great that those who have viewed <j>f about equally divided opinion. , ,Ju9t as you are sure that the figure is human, something happens to make I you think th:vt it is wax. And if yoa think it is wax. something happens to make you think that it is human. [There's mighty good reason to think both ways, for the work is carried out in such a way as to fool the best. The secret of "Xopba," the figure, will be exposed on Saturday evening at the close of the exhibition, until which time the crowds gathered in front of the store are given the opportunity to registered a guess as to their conviction. The face and the eyes of the figure are absolutely immobile and the features so regular that they couldn't be anything e'.se Out wax. Then again, what's that which makes you think that he is hu man!

THOUGHT HE HAD ''CHRONIC DYSPEPSIA Bnt Now Eats Corned Beef, Cabbage, Pork* Onions and Mince Pie for Dinner and Never Feels a Pain Do you belong to the "No thank you" lociety of the dinner table where the mere sight of certain foods makes you feel the paiu you know would be yours if you ever ate themf Corn Beef, Cabbage, Pork, Beets, On ions, Turnips, etc., are all good healthy *trengthening foods and a strong, healthy stomach can always digest them. Yet if the stomach kicks back ; nad simply won't work on such strong fare it's folly to fall back on artificial digesters that push the stuff through whether the stomach wills or not. What a weak, easily upset stomach really needs is not a digestive aid but a stomach strengthened Any reliable i physician will tell you it's dangerous to continually dose the stomach with pep sin digesters and the like. His own pre scription will act on the stomach in stead. No physician ever wrote a bet ter stomach prescription than that em bodied in the famous MI-O-NA Stom ach Tablets that H. C. Kennedy and most every other druggist in this vi cinity sells ,with the positive guaran" tec that they must put a complete and lasting end to stomach misety or money back. Mi-o-na strengthens the walls and muscular fibres of the stomach and induces prompt normal working of your own stomach machinery. It gives relief in ten minutes to all the common and uncomfortable symptoms of sour rising, ?[as, belching, burning, bloating, shoot ng pains, etc., and in a few weeks will put the stomach in such a clear and perfectly healthy condition that it can digest a typical New England boiled dinner without the slightest effort or distress. —Adv.

An Easy Way to Get Fat and Be Strong The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight, is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing on useless "flesh creams," or following some fool ish physical culture stunt, while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimilates the food you eat. Thanks to a remarkable new scientific discovery, it is now possible to combine into simple form the very elements needed bv the digestive organs to help them cojivert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This master stroke of modern chemistry is called Sargol and has been termed the greatest of flesh-builders. Hargol aims through its re-generative, re-constructive powers to coax the stom ach and intestines to literally soak up the fattening elements of your food and pass them into the blood, where they are carried to every starved, broken down cell and tissue of your body. Ypu can readily picture the result when this amazing transformation has taken place and you notice how your cheeks fill out, hollows about your neck, shoulders and bust disappear and yon take on from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is absolutely harmless, inexpensive, eflieicnt. 0. A. Gorgas an!l other leading druggists of Harrisburg and vicinity have it and will refund your money if you are not satisfied, as per the guarantee found in every package. Oration:—While Sargol has given ex cellent results in overcoming nervous dyspepsia and general stomach trouhliw it should not be taken by those who do not wish to gain ten pounds or more. —Adv. Of Course They Do Recently I advertised the new Screwless Eyeglass Mount ings that I introduced in Har risburg a few weeks ago. I have heard it remarked that screwless mountings were going to cut my profits to a minimum by reducing break age of lenses. I'm "tickled to pieces" to have some of my competitors take that short sighted narrow view. Of course these new screw less mountings will reduce breakage. That's what they are intended to do. But, if you stop to think yon will see where this is a good, live, strong talking point in their favor. It's a talking point tbat will make sales and new customers. I'll take chances by pleasing my old customers and making new oives- The Screwless Eyeglasses are giving fine satisfaction, and no doubt they will soon take the plnce of the old styles that have caused so many broken lenses. The only mounting that never costs you a cent for new springs. They arc guaranteed indefinitely. With H. C.
