Nearlj Everybody Reads It.
When Sunday ro.is around and
all that goes with it one of the
big problems of the day is the
matter of reading. The average
family is particular about the kind
of reading that enters the home
on a week-day, but on Sunday
the problem becomes even more
perplexing. "The Philadelphia
Press" each Sunday is an ideal
home newspaper and is arranged
with such thought that only the
best in news is printed., The
Magazine Section illustrated and
printed in color contains the best
in fiction, Fun and. Verse, and
dded to this are p ige s on Art,
cience, Music, Literi.y Criti
isms and a page of history of
-.he world's events for the week,
lead the Philadelphia Sunday
-Press."
Girl Drinks Poison.
Helen Reisher, aged 16 years,
of Chambersburg, committed sui
cide last Friday evening by drink
ing carbolic acid on the street
and dying in fifteen minutes.
Helen's love affairs had not been
running smoothly; but it seems
that she had been a rather way
ward girl for some time. At one
time she cut off her hair and put
on boy's clothing and ran away
and was gone several days be
fore her father, Senor Reisher,
was able to locate her.

WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown th at r asal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
' the body; and local treatments in
ic form of snuffs and vapois do little,
i any good.
To correct catarrh you should trc .t iu
:ai e by enriching your blood with the
iil-lood in Scott's Emulsion which in a
nedicinal food unci a building-tonic, free
tfoiualcohol or any burmftil drugs. Try it.

Why
We Have Grown.
Because we have always done banking on the highest, most conservative, most progress
ive and painstaking manner and because we have lived up to every promise these
are reasons why we outgrew our old home.
From a total of $160,000.00 in deposits four years ago to $316,000.00 deposits to-day,
is a good record. We are naturally proud of our beautiful and substantial home one
room of which is fitted for the free use of the public and convenience of our patrons for
private business engagements or other meetings.
Many of our largest and most prosperous depositors started their savings in a small way.
Do likewise. Begin to-day, by placing your savings at 3 per cent, compound semi-annual
