HEURALGIc PAINS

Shooting pains in the head with giddi.
ness, noise in the ears and tender.
ness of the scalp-pains in the neck and
shoulders or extending down the arms
to the hands, these are the most COM
mon symptoms of neuralgia.
There are a number of causes of neu-
ralgia. 1t is most common in families
whose members have nervous DISPOSE
tions and it is very often q result Of
anemia or lack of blood.
Hot applications give temporary re-
Lief in neuralgia and should be used.
They cannot cure the trouble because
the pain is the complaint that the un-
der nourished nerve is making and it
will not be quieted until the nerve is
fed. The only way to reach the nerves
with nourishment is through the blood.
That is why thin blood SO frequently
leads to neuralgia. When the blood
becomes thin the nerves lack nourish-
ment. Build up the blood, supply to
it the elements that the nerves need
and you begin to correct the neuralgia.
The free booklet Diseases of the
Nervous System" will interest you.

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody can Tell when you
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with Won
derful effect. BY asking at any drug
store for ''Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large bottle
of this old-time recipe, improved by
the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen comb or soft brush and draw
it through your hair, taking one strand
at time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two it is restored to it's natural
color and looks glossy, soft and beauti-
full. This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite. 1t is not intended for
the cure. mitigation or prevention of
disease.

Lewis NJ. Bricker. head of the West
Shore Bakery, entertained the Harris
burg Rotary Club at its meeting last
evening. The session was held in the
auditorium of the new bakery in Le-
moyne, large apartment with a stage
at the front which Mr.. Bricker uses for
meetings of his statesmen and for the
entertainment of employees. 1t is sepa-
rated entirely from the rest of the
bakery, which is one of the largest
and best equipped in the State. The
room was beautifully decorated in
bunting and flags and at the front
We're the Rotary flag and the Stars
lights. ~
After the regular meeting of the
club, during which Mr.. Bricker recited
the history of the West Shore Bakery
from IT'S small beginning to the pres
ent, the members were entertained at
luncheon, most of the dainties being
from the ovens of the big plant itself.
Ihen followed an inspection of the
bakery.
Mr.. Rricker began his career as a
oaker in Lenoyne with a small shop in
which he made up 80 barrels of flour
a week. To-day the plant is using an
average of 40 barrels and is turning
out on an average $4,000 loaves of
bread a day, which are sold within a
radius of $50 miles of this city, besides
hne line of rolls and cakes
The new bakery, erected to meet
the growing demands of the trade, was
started in September of last year and
finished in May of the present year. 1t
Is a large structure and occupies a plot
200 by about 1S7 feet. 1t is sanitary
and automatic. The flour need never
touch the hand of man from the time
II leaves the barrel until it is ready for
delivery. and even then it is wrapped
In paper by an automatic machine, the
most modern in the country. There is
no finer equipment anywhere than that
Just installed in the bakery. The build
ing is done in white from top to bot
tom and is spotleSs.
The Rotarians voted to keep flowers
in the rooms of the sick wives of men,
hers and some of the members ex-
pressed the conviction that in the pres
ent typhoid fever outbreak it might
be possible for the board of health to
correct conditions in faulty milk and
ice cream plants without publicity that
hurts the business of the dealer for a
long period after the evils complained
of, in many instances not intentional,
have been corrected. The club took
no action on these cIIopeStiopS

Wade Hampton Wigton. retired rate
clerk. to-day received many congratu-
lations from fellow railroad men. His
long career with the Pennsylvania rail-
road is the subject of much favorable
comment. Mr.. Wigton began his du-
ties with Thomas l.. Wallace, retired
freight agent, and served under four
different agents. Referring to Mr..
Wigton's retirement, Mr.. Wallace said
to-day:
The years have been passing rap
idly away. 1t seems but a short time
since. about forty-four years ago, it
was my privilege to assign Mr.. Wigton
10 position in the freight office.
Through all the changes and IN
crease in the work of the railroad as
the years rolled along, he has been
taithful and conscientious in fulfilling
all his duties. In season and out of
season, he might be found at his desk.
Many Changes Take Place
Think of the changes that have
taken place in the mode of doing busi-
ness as We see the advancing tide of
population and a new system adapted
TO It's increased volume. And he goes
under the fostering care of our dear
old PENNSYLVANIA railroad-who says,
Your SEVENTEEN birthday has come;
stop and rest, and we will keep YOU
ONA -OeSSeAiio SsiI Z anu pIONlut
for our wants
Think of forty-four years of hand
ling invoices and realize that at least
million and half stand to his credit
And his numerous trips to the ware
house give a beaten path
His retirement is just too soon to
see the realization of that promised
freight depot that for thirty years past
has been needed and worked tor by
myself and each succeeding agent. But
his fellow employees and the public can
very soon rejoice in an accomplished
TACT that the old has passed and they
are living in the new.
Business Is Different
After fifty-seven years of active life
about and around the old Pennsylvania
railroad station seeing the changes
necessary to take care of the increased
business has been an interesting study
in the growth of our city. When | took
charge, there was a population of H.
600 and the work was done by an
agent, two clerks and two warehouse
men. We were handling business OF
from $685. 600 to S150,000 a year. Then
came the Civil War, the opening OF
the Allentown route, and receipts
quickly jumped beyond the million
mark.
Il am glad his fellow employees have
not forgotten him in this hour of de-
parture."
