August Wolf, Chambersburg,
perhaps has a solution of the
tramp problem. He offers to pay
the county 25 cents a ton for
stone quarrled by tramps at
VOLTS lake and agrees to sell the
crushed stone TO Chambersburg
for GO cents per ton. He thinks
tramps ought to work and any
how, "lf they refuse just go to
work and kill them, instead of
locking them up and sponglng
off the county"

SOLDIERS ARE
AS BAD AS The
INSURRECTOS
START RIOT IN MEXICAN AND
NEGRO QUARTERS AT CALVES
TON, AND BURN TWO HOUSES
BEFORE SUBDUED.

Galveston, Tex, March 13.-Galves-
ton is under a form of martial law
today as result of soldier riots in
the Mexican and negro sections of
the city. In order to prevent a re-
newal of attacks on Mexican resi-
dents, 1900 soldiers are restricted to
the camp and provost guards patrol
the Mexican and negro quarters.
Colonel Bailey today cut down
leaves of absence to 10 daily. Twen-
ty-five soldiers are in the guard
house, following Sundays battle be-
tween soldiers and Mexicans and ne
groes, in which two houses were
burned.
The riots started when the soldiers
entered the houses of Mexicans and
negroes. Furniture was demolished
the occupants driven out and several
buildings set on fire.
In street fight that followed, Pri-
vate Winfield Joel, 144th company of
coast artillery from Fort Moultrie,
was stabbed in the side. He was the
first patient to be taken to the mill
tary hospital.
Policeman Patrick Reagan and 9th
er patrolmen attempted to subdue
the soldiers and several of them were
knocked down by policemens clubs.
The fire department was called out
but the riot was not quelled until
Colonel Bailey and so picked men
had appeared. A military guard was
thrown about the disturbed sections

SURE TO BREAK
ASEVERE COLD

The most severe cold will be brok-
en-, and all grippe misery ended after
taking a dose of Pape's Cold Com
pound every two hours until three
consecutive doses are taken.
You will distinctly feel all the dis
agreeable symptoms leaving after the
very first dose.
The most miserable neuralgia
pains, headache, dullness, head and
nose stuffed up, feverishness, sneez-
ing, running of the nose, sore throat,
mucous catarrhal discharges, sore
ness, stiffness, rheumatism pains and
other distress vanishes.
Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years research at cost of
more than $4,000, and contains no
quinlne, which we have conelusively
demonstrated is not effective in the
treatment of colds or grippe.
Take this harmless compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine, made any
where else in the world, which. will
cure your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other
assistance or bad after-effects as a
25-cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

Why Hesitate
AN OFFER THAT INVOLVES NO
RISK FOR THOSE WHO ACCEPT
1T.

We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that
we offer to furnish it free of all cost
if it fails.
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the
large intestines or descending colon.
To expect cure you must therefore
tone up and strengthen those organs
and restore them to healthier activ-
ity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are
eaten like candy, and are particular
ly ideal for children. They act di-
rectly on the nerves and muscles of
the bowels. They have a neutral ac-
ton on the other organs or glands.
They do not purge or cause any in
convenience whatever. They will
positively overcome chronic or habit
ual constipation and the myriads of
associate or dependent chronic all
ments. Try Rexall Orderlies at our
risk. Two sizes, 1Oc and 25c. Sold
only at our store-The Rexall Store.
