Boloomsburg Man Taken For
One Who Broke Jail
Sunbury American.
J. Guy Sleppy, a prominent
Bloomsburg mechanical draughts
man, and well-known in political
circles of that town, had a trying
experience here early this morning.
He got in from Philadelphia, and
not being able to catch a train,
went to the Central Hotel to get a
room. There was none empty,
and he started for the City Hotel,
when he was promptly arrested by
a local officer, on suspicion that he
was the man who escaped from jail.
It was with difficulty that he finally
proved his identity and spent the
reßt of the night in the City Hotel.

Mayor Stabler and Oheif 1
Harder of Williamsport j
Like Ice Oream j
Mayor Stabler and Chief of Po- j
lice Harder have been looking up *
the law on the Suuday closing or- j
diance and they are now convinced j
more than ever before,{that the law j
can be enforced in this city and 2
several arrests may l>e made very j
soon. |
It is known to the police depart- j
ment that several places have been <
doing business on Sunday which j
the oddiance prohibits and it is j
quite likely that several of the j
places will either close'next Sunday *
or their owners will suffer arrest. <
Ice cream has been pronounced j
by the supreme court to be food, j
Chief Harder stated that the de- ]
partment will not go ahead and I
make the arrest of dealers selling (
it on Sunday until it is sure that a <
conviction can be had.
Couldn't Get Coffin
Into The Hearse
The body of Isaac Bordner, which j
was interred in Riverview ceme- j
tery, Northumberland, Wednesday |
afternoon of last week, was the (
largest corpse that has ever been <
handled by a Northuml>erland I
undertaker. Mr. Bordner was '
more than seven feet tall and was :
built in proportion. When the pall- '
l>earers, Messrs. Frank Geise, Peter 1
and Frank Neidig, William Knatise,
John Rhosides and William Strause,
went to remove the casket from the '
home near Lithia Springs, they
found the casket too large to pass
through the door and it had to be
taken out through a window. More
trouble wa# encountered when the
hearse was reached, as the casket i
was 92 inches long and would not
permit the closing of the hearse
door. The body was finally haul
ed to the cemetery in the dead
wagon. He was 6 feet 8 inches
tall, and weighed 31 o pounds.

THE next time you see the
local dealer, get him to
give you the history of
some of the I H C manure

get the story of other spreaders ,
and draw your own conclusions j
as to which spreader does the
best work at the lowest cost.
Durability pays. The spread

the longest time is the cheapest

"The Liver Pills act
So Naturally and
Easily."
Such a statement, coming from
the cashier of a bank, shows what
confidence responsible people have
lin these pills. Mr. A. L. Wil»on
after trying them wrote:
•'I have used Dr. Miles' N«rv«
and Liver I'llls and also your
Antl-Paln Pills, on myself, wit*
good results. The Liver Pills
act so naturally and so easily
that I scarcely know that I '
have taken a pIH. Frequently
being troubled with headache I
take an Anti-Pain Pill and gat
Immediate relief In every case."
A. L. Wilson, Sparta, 111.
Mr. Wilson was for a number
of years cashier of the Ftrat 1
National Bank of Sparta.
Dr. Miles'
Nerve and Liver Pill*
. are different from others. Many
kinds of liver pills are "impossible"
after one trial on account of their
harshness. Dr. Miles' Nerve and
Liver Pills do not act by sheer force
but in an easy, natural way, with
out griping or undue irritation.
They are not habit forming.
If the first bottle falls to benefit, yowr
i druggist will return the price. Ask him.
