ThePitifulCry,Oh, Ny StOmach!Oh Stomach
Was Heard For Years, Almost Continuously, But No More
Mrs. Peter Wtekn of This City, Cured By Quaker Herb Extract

One of the first persons to call on
the Health Teacher when he first came
to Harrisburg was Mr.. Peter Witte-
kind. who said:
For over three years my wife has
suffered tortures from stomach trou-
BILE. Often, yes very often during the
day and night she would moan and
CRY oh, my stomach! oh, my stomach!
All the people consulted agreed that
her complaint was not cancer, tumor
or ulcer, but catarrhal condition, yet
it seemed no medicine would help her.
After eating, no matter how careful
her diet, her stomach would bloat,
gas seemed to form which created
heart pressure, shortness of breath
and dizzy spells. The pains she had
would not last long, but while she had
them, she would look as though she
were in death agonies. Her blood
circulation was poor as her hands and
feet were cold as ice. Her breath was
most offensive and her attempts TO
disguise this fact only made matters
worse. was told to call and learn
whether or not the Quaker Remedies

PATROLMAN MAY
BE APPOINTED
Council Likely to Select Success
sor to Jones; Other
Business

With the return of Chairman 7. J.
Nelly. of the police committee of
Steelton's borough council. from a
western trip it is altogether likely that
council at its meeting this evening will
settle the matter of appointing a pa
trolman to fill the vacancy caused by
the DISMISSAL of Clinton Jones
The appointment of a successor to
Jones has been before council since
August II, when Jones was dismissed
after long -drawn-out squabble be-
tween Burgess Fred Wigfield and the
police committee of council. There
are about score of applications for
the place and the police committee has
declared it will recommend the best
man for the place. Just who this will
be is not known.
Other matters to come before coun-
Gil this evening are the passage of a
new license ordinance, requested by
the Merchants Association, and plans
for opening a road from Sixth and
Swatara streets to the new Luther r.
Kelker park. At the last meeting OF
council favorable action was taken on
the park development plans and it is
likely that council this evening will
take some definite step toward obtain
ing this proposed entrance,

Man Attempts to Nail
Himself to Church Floor
Br Assoeiated Prcts

San Francisco, Nov. S.-Attempting
a stranger who gave
his name as Thomas d. Thornton.
caused great confusion among the
worshippers at st. Mary's Cathedral
here yesterday when. with a length
of gas pipe, he drove a four-inch
spike through each instep and nailed
one of his feet to the floor.
He uttered no cry of pain and was
restrained by ushers who were SUM
moned by those near him.
The action took place while the
most sacred portion of the Roman
Catholic mass was in progress. The
fact that the congregation was kneel-
ing gave the man the opportunity to
remove his shoes unnoticed and drive
the nails before being interfered with.
1t was necessary to use a hammer 20
pry the spikes loose. He was re-
moved to a hospital where he will be
examined as to his sanity.

London Newspapers
Comment on New Note
Bp .4ssociatcd PrcSS

London Nov. S.-The Daily Chron-
icle thinks that the argumentative
value of most of the points made in
the note is not high. With regard to
the three hundred ships detained at
Kirkwall, it ventures the opinion that
what will strike most fair-minded peo-
pie is the extremely short period for
which most of them were held. which,
1t adds, speaks volumes for the Brit
ish admiralty's desire to deprive
America of any real grievance"
The Daily Telegraph asks; rs
this not case in which strict severity
is more likely to He merciful in the
for the highest ethical doctrine?
Moreover, we are happy to think that
the large proportion of the American
people are sympathetic towards us
and appreciate the difficulty of our
problem. They would not desire us
to surrender one jot or little of our
fixed determination to conquer the
enemy, nor would they be pleased to
observe signs of weakness or tenden-
cies towards a compromise, the effect
of which would be rather to prolong
than curtail the war"
The Morning Post in an editorial,
says:
These are strong expressions, but
they lose some of their force when 1t
is recognized that the order in council
did not institute the blockade, but was
q compromise, conceived with anxious
regard to American and other neu-
trail interests being allowed the enemy
countries to receive all manner of sup
plies and inflicting some damage upon
neutral traders
The Post finds the contention that
vessels should be examined at sea alb
surd in actual practice, though, like
many other contentious in the note
quite open to argument.

OLD OFFICERS TO
RETURN TO PLACES?
[Continued From First Page. I

IL
Warden. Wetzel served under ex-
Mayor Gross and has been considered
one of the best police officers in the
city.
Frank to Succeed Drabenstadt
Harry M. Frank, a former detective
and plain clothes man under DR.
Meals and member of the forces of
both eX-Mayors Mccormick and Gross,
is another of the city's crack officers
whom, rumor hath 1T, is to be ap-
pointed to the new force. Frank, It
is said, will be a sergeant and will
likely succeed Police Sergeant Amos
Drabenstadt.
In view of Mayor elect Meals kindly
feeling toward ex-Alderman William
L. Windsor, Jr., it is believed that the
former alderman and chief of the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad de-
tectiVe service, is the most likely can
didate for the head of the new detec-
tive bureau. John NJ. Welsh, a former
city detective, is said to be favorably
considered for return to the detec-
tive service.
AS to Ibach and White
Whether or not Harry G. White and
Joseph Ibach, detectives now in the
employ of the city, will be retained
or whether Ibach is to go, and White
alone to be retained was a subject of
considerable discussion in municipal
circles to-day. One report is that
neither may be continued in the city
service. On the other hand, friends
of the two say that both will stay on
the job.
Who will be who among the patrol
men is a matter of discussion, too.
Among the names more prominently
mentioned to date are Bertron A.
WELLS, formerly police sergeant and
elected Tuesday as constable of the
Sixth ward, and John Benner, for
mer patrolman under Meals. Wells,
1t is said, prefers the elective office of
constable, however.

If you have rheumatism, catarrh or
stomach troubles call on the Health
Teacher just as soon as you can and
let him tell you all about these won

daily at Croll Keller's drug store, No.
405 Market street. 1t costs nothing
to talk to him.
Remember that Quaker Extract also
eXpels Tape Worms in less than
hours and the Health Teacher is here
to prove it. Also note that the reme-
dies are sent TO him fresh from the
laboratories twice a week, therefore
to get it at Keller's No. 405 Market

obtained nowhere else.-Adv.

The Health Teacher said:
IF it should be case of catarrh,
by all means let her try the remedies.
Even though they should not help her
they positively can do no harm and
in case of failure refund of half of
purchase price will be made" This
honest, fair proposition was accepted
and Mr.. Wittekind went home with
the remedies. That was on the even
ing of October End.
Last Saturday he again called, ac-
companied by his wife. and he asked
her to relate her experience which she
did as follows:
