LOCAL OPTIONISTS ARE
Gaining. SAYS Governor
DR.. Brumbaush Declares Inreads Arc
Being Made on the Opposition
Both in Senate and House-Special
Trains to Bring Crowds Tuesday

Among those who are taking an &C
tive part in Governor Brumbaugh' I
campaign for local option is j, DEM.
o 'Neill, Commissioner of Allegheny
county, who is given to making temper
ance speeches on the slightest provo
cation. With t. Larry Eyre, of Ches
ter, the two viii make team that
knows the political and Legislative
game clear through.
Governor Brumbaugh last night gave
this review of the local option stu
alton;
s.We are winning all the time. We
are gaining ground every minute. With
III the last week great change has
come about in the situation right here
in Harrisburg. Inroads have been made
both in the House and Senate.
This change is due to the fact that
legislators are getting the right point
of view. They are realizing that it is
not thing to be settled on the basis
of either wet or dry. They are appre-
eiating the fact that it is funda-
mental right that the people should
settled their own affairs. 1t is the
right of the people to rule.
They are realizing that there are
two distinct questions involved in To-
cal option. One. as l have stated, is the
right of the people in local communi-
ties to pass upon the liquor question.
The other is that it should no longer
be burden upon the shoulders of the
Judiciary. 1t is crime to lay it at
the door of the Judges. 1t has been in
eumbent ON the judiciary.
THE great controlling principles
that govern the question are beginning
to operate. We are beginning to see
that as a fundamental right the issue
should be lifted out of partisan poll
ties. 1t never should have been in par
tiSan politics. 1t is shame that it
has not been taken out of politics long
ago. These are hard-headed facts. -
In Philadelphia special arrangements
are being made to send large delega-
tion of local option friends to Harris
burg next Tuesday. Many of the large
industrial establishments viii shut
down for the day to enable their en-
of the establishments will pay the ex-
penses of the men. Special trains will
leave Philadelphia on Tuesday morn
ing at $50 o'clock on the Penusylva-
mia and Reading roads, returning a.
midnight, after the night meeting in
the Chestnut street hall.
Pittsburgh and other cities also will
send large delegations. E. z. ,Wallower,

Brumbaugh statewide committee to
further the passage of the local option
bill, is busily engaged in arranging for

To End Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deaf
ness and head meises will be glad to
know that this distressing affliction can
be successfully treated at home by an
internal remedy that in many instances
has brought complete relief after all
else has failed. Sufferers who could
scarcely hear a watch tick tell how they
have had their hearing restored to such
an extent that the tick of watch was
plainly audible seven or eight inches
away from either ear.
Therefore, if you know someone who
is troubled with head noises or eatarrh.
or catarrhal deafness, cut out this
formula and hand to them, and you will
have been the means of saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. The prescription can be prepared
at home, and is made as follows:
Secure from your druggist oz. Par
mint (Qcuble strength, about 75c
worth. Take this home. and add to it
= pint of hot water and OF. of granu-
lated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times day.
The first dose should begin to relieve
the distressing head noises, headache.
dullness, cloudy thinking. etc, while the
hearing rapidly returns as the system is
lnvigorated by the tonic action of the
treatment. Loss of smell and mucus
dropping in the back of the throat, are
other symptoms that show the presence
OF catarrhal poison, and which are often
entirely overcome by this eflicaeious
treatment, Nearly ninety per cent. of
all ear troubles are said to be directly
caused by catarrh, therefore. there must
be many people whose hearing can be
restored by this simple home treatment.
Every person who is troubled with
head noises. catarrhal deafness or ca
tarrh in any form, should give this pre-.
seription trial. There is nothing bet

HARRISBURG PEOPLE
PRAISE SIMPLE MIXTURE

Many in Harrisburg praise the simple
mixture of buekthorn bark, glycerine.
etc.. known as Adler-i-ka. This remedy
is the most THOROUGH bowel cleanser
ever sold, being even used successfully
in appendicitis. ONE SPOONFUL re-
lieves almost ANY CASE of constipa-
tion, sour or gassy stomach. ONE MIN
UTE after you take it the gasses rumble
and pass out. Adler-i-ka cannot gripe
and the INSTANT action is surprising.

been met at home, and the mills are
establishing prestige which they ex-
pect to maintain, even when Europe
again enters the market with her
products. American-made silks have
formed the bulk of the silks used here,
and there is no good reason why we

There is general widening of
