NATURAL HEALTH
The Facts About an Interesting Case
OF Serious Female Trouble Bene-
fitted By The Use of Cardui.

Walnut Cove, N. C.-Mrs. E. A.
Rothrock, of this town, says: About
two years ago was in very bad health
for three or four months.
At this time l had serious female
trouble, which lasted severely for nine
weeks. l got awfully weak and could
scarcely go. and my doctor said l
ought to be in bed.
My two sisters, who had used Cardui
with good results and who now use 1t
as tonic, recommended 1t highly to
me, saying 1t Is a fine medicine.

thing to help me. and as other medi-
cines had failed to relieve me, l
thought l would try Cardui. the wom-
ans tonic. At this time was almost

of the second bottle of Cardui. The
trouble stopped. l suffered less pain,
and began to get back my strength
and health. I took five more bottles
and got back my natural state Of
health, also my flesh, and could do my
work easily.
This spring was run down in
health; had over-worked myself. l
took nearly three bottles OF Cardui, as
q tonic, and 1t brought me back to my
natural state Of health.

NEW STEEL KING
GETSP.R.R. STOCK
J. Leonard Replogle Acquires
Remaining 210,000 Shares
For $14.600,000
Stcciai 10 Tie Tcltsrnhh

Philadelphia, Nov. 1S.-One of the
largest stock deals ever transacted in
this city was consummated yesterday
when a syndicate headed by J. Leon
ard Replogle purchased 24O, 900 shares
of Cambria Steel Company stock from
the Pennsylvania Company, subsid-
lary of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at
a price estimated at $62.50 a share. It
was said that the entire purchase price
of s14,6O0, 900 would be paid in cash
and that checks for S5,000,000 as first
payment had already been deposited
in various Philadelphia banks.
rms sale marks the complete sepa-
ration of the Pennsylvania Railroad
from Cambria Steel.
considerable dramatic interest is at
tached to Replogle's purchase because
he started his business career as Il
water boy at the age of / in the Cam
brla plant at Johnstown and rose front
place to place until he became the
president of the company. He resigned
from this post last March and since
then he has been maneuvering so as to
become big stockholder in the COM
pany. 1T is understood that he has
put his own fortune and all he could
get from those whom he managed to
interest in the syndicate into the pool
for the purchase of the shares
Although the full details of the ne
gouations preceding the sale are not
known, 1t is understood that Replogle
ana Bonner were rival bidders for the
huge block of stock and that Replogle
won only after many all-night and all
DAY conferences with railroad officials,
bankers and steel magnates. Mr..
Replogle. who is only 3s years old, by
yesterdays purchase, becomes one of
the youngest steel kings of the country.
Neither Group Has Control
The entrance of Replogle into the
company as big stockholder and no
longer an employe creates what ap-
pears to be a rivalry of interests
among the stockholders. Donner, who
IS supposed to be backed by Henry c.
Frlck. controls the 112. 600 shares he
recently purchased. besides whatever
ne mad before, probably amounting in
all TO 100000 shares. Reploele now
mas $4,000 shares and probably some
more he had bought in the open mar
ket. There are 5000 shares of Cam
Dria stock outstanding. so that neither
bonner nor Replogle has a majority.
Much of the companys stock is held
by small investors, and thousands OF
shares have changed hands recently

BUILDING RECORDS
MAY BE SMASHED
More Than Million and Quarter
Dollars Put Into Houses So
Far This Year

Building operations for 1915 already
represent an outlay in dollars and
cents of more than a million and a
quarter and contractors and builders
fgure that Harrisburg will boast of n
record twelve-month in the building
world II the present late Fall rush
continues
While the present year is bound to
be a record breaker. il won't hold a
candle to 1916 judging from present
prospects, say the real estate dope
sters. AS rule the year runs an
average total outlay for building
operations of a little more than a
million dollars; the chances that the
new year will be started away with a
quarter of million dollar permit are
mighty bright.
No intimation as to when the Penn
sylNania railroad will begin the erec-
tion of its new freight stations south
OF Mulberry street has been made
pubic but 1t is generally expected
that this job will be started early in
19l6. And builders and contractors
figure that the company will put from
S2OO.OOO to S250,000 into the struc-
lures.
Many Small Homes
Scores of smaller houses will be
built during the early Spring. too,
and many of the dwellings throughout
the, city which are now in course of
construction will be ready for occu-
pancy. This is especially true in the
Thirteenth ward, in Bellevue and at
Riverside. In the Thirteenth ward
FL. A. Nipple will probably finish the
erection of twenty modern, two-story
Drlcks. half Il dozen of which may be
under roof before snow flies. The row
which Will fill the north side of Derry
street between Twenty-siXth and
TWenty-fifth streets will cost approXi-
mately $4,000.
Contractors and real estate men are
viewing with amazement, however. the
remarkable showing of new buildings
Tor 1915. Up to and including to-day's
permits, the aggregate outlay amounts
TO $1,236,125. The total for the first
ten months of 1914 was S1,21S,4O0.
One of the biggest single permits
OF the month was issued to-day to
DR.. b. T. Behney who expects to put
up four two-story bricks in the south
west corner of Emerald between
Fourth and Orange streets. That per-
init incidentally boosted the months
aggregate to date to $29,425.
Bigger Ones Coming
That total, by the way, means that
the record of November a year ago
will be mighty hard pushed for place
as the total outlay for the Fall month
was $34, 600. Stevens Memorial church
is hguring on beginning work on the
$4,000 annex next month, too.
When building operations of the
last two months have been completed,
Harrisburg can boast of some scores
of mighty comfy new homes and some
thing considerably out of the ordinary
in the way of modern garages, store
and apartment houses and store
houses. The biggest dwellinghouse
operation attempted this Fall perhaps
was the contract undertaken by Mr..
Nipple. F. j. Henley will spend S12,-
600 building half a dozen houses in
Berryhill street. w. G. Porr will put
eight in Chestnut street at a cost of
$4,000, and A. III. Shaffer will finish
his $4,000 storage garage in South
Cameron street before the first of the
new year.
