RESISTANCE TO DISEASE

The power of your body to resist dis
ease and to fight it after disease gets a
foothold Is one of the most precious
possessions you have.
You weaken this power when you let
your general health run down, your
blood gets thin and your nerves I'M
steady.
You weaken it when you worry,
when o overwork or are guilty of
excuses of almost any kind, when you
do not get sufficient sleep and when
you are undernourished. either be-
cause you do not eat the right kind of
food or because your digestion is out
of order.
You preserve your power to resist
disease when you keep good hours, eat
proper food at regular intervals and
are temperate in all things. You in
crease and strengthen it when you
build up your blood and nerves by the
timely use of a tonic like DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, free from alcohol,
opiates and harmful drugs of any
kind.
These tonic pills and careful atten-
ton to your diet will go far toward
keeping o in health. Two booklets.

TEST ALL MATERIAL.
BOUGHT BY P. R. R.
Important Work Is Part of Altoona
Shops; An Expensive
Branch

Every time the clock ticks off a min
ute the Pennsylvania Railroad Sys-
tenn spends $19f.6s for supplies. In a
year it buys 500, 1922, 006 worth of
material of such wide diversity as coal
and soft soap, ink and feather busters,
steel and paint, garden hose and blue
vitriol.
The railroad is under obligations to.
every shipper, to every passenger and
to every stakeholder to see to 1t that
not a penny o fits resources Is wasted.
To fulfill this obligation the company
maintains at Altoona, Pa, q special
department. charged with the duty of
tests and inspections of practically
everything it buys.
An Important Branch
The Pennsylvania Railroad wages a
neVer-ceasing fight against the raw
ages of age. 1T keeps $50 men, includ-
ing 30-odd scientists. busy testing the
railroad uses. whether 1t be a piece of
plush for a car seat or a piston rod
for a locomotive.
The test department has only re-
Gently been housed in a structure in
Altoona. costing, with its equipment,
more than a quarter OF a million dol
lars. This investment make the COM
pany the possessor of one of the larg-
est and most complete plants in the
world for making chemical and phys
ical tests of materials. The test de-
partment itself is not new. Its work
has been carried on since 1874. The
Pennsylvania was the first American
railroad to undertake the systematic
testing of materials and supplies.
Tests Made During Year
In the chemical laboratory more
than $4,000 routine tests are made
per year, involving over a quarter of
a million separate determinations. Five
to six thousand special tests are also
made annually. involving $4,000 to
10000 determinations. The steel sec
ton OF the laboratory has facilities for
~analyzing 100. 600 samples per year.
Over 5000 track torpedoes are
tested in a year and these represent
2,4O0. 600. or more, that are supplied
for actual use. More than $4,000
yards of plush are tested annually by
examination of some 500 samples. The
total value of supplies, materials and
purchased equipment tested and in
spected by the department in q rep
resentative year exceeds $50, 900, 900
and the cost of making these tests is
a little more than one-half of l per
cent. of that value.

Cupid Laughs Out Loud"
When One Couple Ask For
License at Courthouse

Dauphin county marriage license bu-
reau- this morning, to take out the nee

trary to custom-as practically all
marriage bureau stories have it-didn't

In 1907 Helen and Walter made their
first visit to the marriage bureau, got
a license and were welded. The new
house of Helfrick didn't run smoothly,
however, and one day a couple of years
later Helfrick roundly abused his wife
because, as she said, she had asked him
to help celebrate Labor Day. So in
March. 1913. divorce proceedings were
begun. And on February l. 1918. Helen
y. Brenisholtz obtained a divorce from
Walter r. Helfrick.

No Need Being Old or

Lillian Russell says n woman who
has wrinkles before she's 40 is herself
responsible for them. Sunshine and
fresh air she considers more valuable
as complexion preservers than nos

The chief objection to cosmetics is
that at best they only temporarily
cover up defects. There are certain
true aids to Nature, which may be APP
