SPECIAL PRAYERS FOR RAIN
Scarcity of Water at Harrisburg and
Altoona Causes inconvenience.

Harrisburg. Pa, Dec. s. = Special
prayers are being offered for RAIN in
churches in certain localities of Dau-
phin. Perry. Cumberland and the sur
rounding counties.
Many wells have gone dry and farm
ers are hauling water from the river
and smaller streams. The recent snow
has done little to relieve conditions

Another letter received from the same
institution reads as follows:
"Three weeks ago l wrote to tell you
how satisfactory we found Peruna. We
recommend it highly for colds, coughs,
catarrh and neuralgia.
81 have used it myself as a tonic with
the best results, taken as directed half a
teaspoonfui every half hour"
4 remedy that would act Immediately
upon the congested mucous membrane,
restoring it to its normal state, would
consequently cure all these diseases.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
Owe reason why Peruna has found per-
manent use in so many homes il that it
contains no narcotics of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is per-
manent in its effect.
Ii has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of cataevh. There are
a multitude of homes where Pefuna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such 4 thing could not be possible if
Peruna contained any drugs of mar.
cotic nature.

Dear Sir:-"The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from laryngi-
tbs, and loss of voice. The result of the
treatment was most satisfactory. She
found great relief, and after further use
of the medicine we hope to be able to
say she is entirely cured. "-Sisters of

hood asserts itself This character figures
in all the lurid incidents of the play. he
saves a child from burning farm house by
bounding TO the second story in swing.
He helps the heroine through the difficult
ties which beset her, and to free her country
lover from the villainy of city sutton. One
of the most sensational scenes OF the play
reveals a country highway down a hillside,
and to save her lover the heroine utilizes a
bObsled. She makes a wild ride down the
course. racing on the way with a train for
a railroad crossing. While the production is
said to be heavy with these affairs, its lurid-
ness is relieved by. the humor of the tramp.
Julia West takes the part of the village
belle, who develops her courage in proving
her loyalty TO her country sutton. A good
deal of the comedy is brought out by Ger
trude Swiggert as an awkward country girl,
and the rascality is in the hands of John S.
Wallace The rugged hills of New England
afford opportunity for elaborate stage pic
lures.
