APPEL In Which He Assails Mail Order Rem- edies And Other Self Cures for Your Maladies. “With a general ban against adver- tisements of a special character, large advertising spaces are now being cupied with eloquent and eppealing as- sertions of the power of certain mail order remedies alleged to cure otier maladies,” said Dr. Theodore B. Appel, secretary of health, this week. “It is indeed quite surprising how many fairly inselligent people will be taken in by these glowing literary ‘spreads’, and consequently send their hard earned money to the quacks and unethical business men who thus gull the public. “If one is merely suffiicently literate to read an advertisement, and in addi- tion lives in a highly remote locality, there may be some excuse for him to become the prey of these conscience- less people, but it indeed is hard to understand why thousands of men and women whq pride themselves upon their intelligence and education suc- cumb to these high powered state- ments. “In the first place it is unreasonable for anyone to imagine that he can be effectively treated for disease 1 For example, consider rheu ‘Rheumatism’ as generally known is not always a definite disease but often a complex of symptoms due to many and varied causes, often obscure. To conclude therefore that postage stamp pills, often containing little else of ser- vice than a laxative, will be able to cure this painful disease is a woefully atism “The sections in Pennsylvania that cannot be served with proper medical attention are exceedingly few, if in fact they exist at all. And in most lo- calities physicians and even hospital and laboratory facilities are available “Dallying and self-treatment should not be countenanced for a moment with any disease. And that is what the use of mail order medicines really am- ounts to. Be examined by a reputable practitioner and follow the directions based on his diagnosis. “Spend money foolishly on many other things if you please to do so, but discount by 100 per cent any enthu- siasme that might be engendered by reading the ‘come-on’ of the mail order cure advertisers. Save your postage stamps and see your doctor.” MRS. ELLIE M. RUDOLPH. Mrs. Ellie M. Rudolph, aged 69, died of a homplication of diseases Tuesda; morning at her home in Loretto. Mrs. Rudolph was the daughter of Andrew ond Martha Topper and resided in Eb- ensbhrg until a few years ago. She is survived by the following children: Charles, Hutchinson, Kan.; W. Edward, Loretto; and Sister Nazareth of the Mercy Order, Pa. Mrs. Rudolph is also survived by one sister, Mrs. John McNelis, of Al- toona. The funeral will be held on Friday with a mass at 9 o'clock, and inter- ment will be in St. Michael's ceme- tery. sday CAMBRIA GETS BIG AMOUNT OF GAS TAX The sixty-seven counties of Pennsyl- vania will receive $1,369,597 as their share of the gasoline tax collected dur- ing the first half of 1929, State Treas- urer Edward Martin announced dur- ing the week. Each county will receive one-half cent of the tax which for the first six months of this year was three cents. It was raised to four cents on July 1st. Amounts received by a number of Name “Peony” Traced to Legend of Mythology In the days of the Greek gods and goddesses, the pecny first came to the world’s attention. Leto, Apollo’s moth: er, was the one to introduce it. Apol- lo was known as the god of healing and his son, Aesculapius, was the god of medicine, It seems that a pupil of Aesculapius named Paeon was the physician of the sods, and to him Leto first gave the plant which he employed to cure Pluto of a wound received at the hands of Hercules during the Trojan war, The fact that his pupil could sur- pass him in effecting such a cure made Aesculapius angry, with the result he attempted to kill Paeon, but Pluto, in- debted to Paeon for his own life, res- cued the physician of Mount Olympus from deatL by changing him into the | plant that had saved his life. Until | this day that plant bears Paeon’s name | and is known to us as the peony. The history of the peony in China and Japan is of a sentimental nature. Fittingly enough, the words “Sho Yo,” meaning “Most Peautiful,” were ap- | plied to the herbaceous peony, while | the tree peony held sway as the “King of IMlowers.”—Kansas City Star. Only Dame Nature Can Freshen Mind and Body | “The earth is the great reservoir of physical forces, and whilst no scien- tist has yet been able to discover how | intimate or how perfect is the connec- tion between the mental and the phys- | ical, there exists, no doubt, a correla- tion between the processes by which | the body and the soul are kept healthy and vigorous by drafts on the great | reserves of nature. “One grows tired of books and cloyed with all manner of art. Then comes a hunger and a thirst for na ture, Real thought gathering Is like berry gathering—one must go to the wild vines for the racy-flavored fruit.

Garden Memories Three thousand years ago the Magus | Zoroaster, it is said, met his own image walking in a garden; nowhere | else, we must suppose, but in a gar | den’s cloistered peace could such a meeting have been arranged. And when a man lets his thoughts drift | back to the happiness, so deep and | often so illusory, of his childhood’s home, it is in the garden that his memories crowd the thickest, not in the house itself.

Chil dren with malnutrition do not all be have the same way. Some are pale, dull and listless, with dark rings under the eyes, tire easily and have no am- bition for work or play; their work in school is often so poor that they must frequently repeat their grades. Oth A HT TT TT me A SCANDAL has wrecked more lives than SIN. INNOCENCE has always payed tribute to SOPHISTICATION. Such are two truths brought to throbbing life on the screen in this absorbing drama of a beautiful girl who became em- meshed in social intrigue which plunged her into the midst of a murder mystery and scandalized even the most sophisticated! zh AST please, and hard to manage; they eat and sleep badly. Still others are over ambitious, constantly active, restless: they find it difficult to concentrate. Children get into a condition of mal nutrition because their growth is not watched. To grow in height and gain regularly in weight is just as much a sign of health in a boy or girl of nine or ten as in a baby. nll Sand Blasting Effective For cleaning metal surfaces for one purpose or another demanded by the industries the sand blast takes the firs place.
