The erection of the new Camp Cur
tin 'Memorial Methodist church at Sixth
and Camp streets, funds for which are
to bo raised in an extensive campaign
next week, is in part of importance to
the Camp Cur tin community because
of the gymnasium facilities which are
to be provided in the building.
In the basement of the new struc
ture, which is to bo a modern institu
tional building, there will be a fully
equipped gymnasium, 30 by 70, with
shower baths and locker rooms. The
benefits offered there may be enjoyed
by any persons of good character in the
(-immunity, regaidless of church affilia
lion. The Camp Curtin church will
thus endeavor to meet a need of the
entire community, not only of its own
membership. There has for some time
been a demand uptown for some such
gymnasium facilities.
CfDEK AS A SOFT DRINK
Ceases to Become Such Three Weeks
After Being Made
lly Associated Press.
Wheeling, W. Va.. April 15.—Cider
ceases to become a soft drink . three
weeks after it has been made accord
ing to a ruling just made by Prohibi
tion Commissioner Fred O. Bins. He
holds that the sale of cider after that
time is a violation ol the state's pro
hibition law.
Cider, according to Commissioner
Bine, accumulates more alcohol weekly
and by the time three mouths have
passed, becomes true applejack.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy— lf You Know Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets
The secret of keeping young is to
feel young—to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels —there's no need
of having a sallow complexion—dark
j rings under your eyes—pimples—a bil
! ions look in your face—-dull eyes with
I no sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per
| cent, of all sickness comes from inac-
I tive bowels and liver.
| Or. Edwards, a well-known physician
j in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com
; pound mixed with olive oil to act on the
I liver and bowels, which he gave to his
patients for years.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action, yet always effective.
They bring about that exuberance of
spirit, that natural buoyancy which
' should be enjoyed by everyone, by ton-
I ing up the liver and clearing the sys-
I tein of impurities.
You will know Dr. Edwards' Olive
Tablets by their olive color. 10c and
15c per box. All druggists.

That number of vibrations is
the work done by the balance
wheel of your watch in one
year. And the rim of this
tiny wheel travels as far as
twice across the country in
that time.
Now are you surprised that
your watch will wear out the
lubricating value of a frac
tion of a drop of oil—for that
is all that can be put on at
an oiling—in twelve to fifteen
months 1
If you value your watch—if
you' want it to continue to
serve you as a reliable time
piece—don't neglect having
it cleaned and oiled.
There is no one in Harris
burg so well qualified for do
