OLD
HOME
WEEK.
A Letter
From the
Author of
the "OId
Homestead
DEN MAN
THOMPSON
>3@@@44@9~DN@@H

II is particularly appropriate at this
time when Old Home Week has re-
Gently been observed in so many cities
and towns, to refer to letter from
Denman Thompson, he who made the
"Old Homestead" a household name in
America. This noted author and artist
who has done so much to encourage
love of home, writes: Il am glad to in
dorse Father Johns Medicine as a tonic
and body builder and an excellent rem
edy for colds and lung troubles" The
| Importance of avoiding patent medi-
cines containing poisonous nerye-dead-
ening drugs and weakening stimulants
warrants again calling your attentionto
the fact that Father Johns Medicine is
not a patent medicine, but the prescrip-
tion of an eminent specialist who pre-
scribed it for the late Rev. FIR. John
J O'Brien of Lowell, Mass, fifty years
ago by whom it was recommended and
from whom it derived it's name. 1t is
a uure food medicine, free from alcohol,
morphine, opium or poisonous drugs or
weakening stimulants in any form. 1t
lnourishes the blood and drives out all
impurities. It's gentle laxative effect
Strengthens the stomach and corrects
the digestion. 1t restores health and
strength to rundown systems. When
you ask your druggist for Father Johns
Medicine, remember that the 81 bottles
contain three times the quantity of the
50-cent size. No honest druggist will
try to force you to take some other
; preparation when you call for Father
Johns Medicine whose history of SO
years of success and its reliable In
dorsements proves beyond doubt its re-
markable value.

PLACING ELECTRICAL SIGNALS
Hall System Adopted BY the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Being In
stalled Here.

The new Hall electrical system is
being installed on the Pennsylvania
railroad. The wreck train is up the
track today, placing poles for the new
system, which is considered the safest
ever invented.
AS the name implies it is an electri-
cal arrangement, and when a train en-
ters a block 1t raises a signal which
prevents another train from entering
until It goes down. which it does when
the train reaches a point 500 yards dis
tant, clearing the track. This prevents
rear-end collisions.
The wires which work the signals are
all underground.
