WIDOW TOLD TO
MARRY NLONDON
American Woman and Royal
Duke Are Meeting With
Difficulties

Rome. Sept 1s.-Mrs. Philip Van
Valkenburg, of New York, was in
formed by the American embassy
to-day that her proposed marriage
to the Duke of Oporto, brother of the
late King Carlos of Portugal, pre-
ferably should be arranged to take
place In London.
While Mrs. Van Valkenburg has
divorce certificate issued by a Con-
necticut court, 1t is believed that the
best solution of her difficulty would
be found in a non-Catholic ceremony
where divorced persons can be re-
married in a religious ceremony, and
also In country where the relatives
of the prospective husband can offer
no objection to both a civil and
religious marriage.
The objection of the American en-
bassy to performing a civil marriage
between the parties, both of whom
have called on Ambassador Page, are
that the embassy has no evidence re-
garding the previous marital state
of either party. For the same reason
1t would be difficult for Mrs. Van
Valkenburg and the duke to have a
civil marriage performed in Italy as
neither of them are Italian citizens.
The difficulties of the wealthy widow
the American colony with interest.
Mrs. Philip Van Valkenburg was
divorced from her first husband, Lee
Agnew, of Chicago, in 1906, in New
York. The same year she married
William Hays Chapman, then 76
years old. Mr.. Chapman died the fol-
lowing year leaving an estate of
100000 to his widow, who then was
less than thirty-one years old. In
1903 Mrs. Chapman became the wife
of Philip Van Valkenburg, son of a
New York banker. She obtained a
divorce from him in Putnam, Conn.,,
February, 1914, on the grounds of
desertion. Since then she has spent
most of her time abroad.
The engagement of Mrs. Van VAL
kenburg to the Duke of Oporto, who
is 52 years old, was announced in
Naples early in August.

Penbrook Parade to Be
Held Wednesday Evening

At a meeting of the Penbrook
citizens last evening in the school
building it was decided to have the
parade Wednesday evening at 1850
O'Clock in order that all the men
may have the opportunity of parti-
cipating in the patriotic demonstra-
ton. This parade was arranged for
last Saturday but had to be post
poned because of rain. The school
teachers will act as lieutenants for
their respective rooms with Princl-
pal Bell in charge of the school di-
vision. Trucks will be provided tor
the primary grades and touring
cars for Civil War veterans. The
Red Cross Auxiliary will march in
the parade and wear their new caps.
All other civic and fraternal organ
izations are expected to join in to
make the affair a success.
The parade and finance commit
tees have arranged for the Munich
pal band of Harrisburg to play from
$50 to $50 and red lights will be
purchased by the committee and by
all the citizens who wish. The
homes will be illuminated and decor
ated for the occasion.
The speaking will be at the town
hall after the parade.

Don't Dose The Stomach
Treat Catarrh by Natures Own Meth
od-Eycry Breath of Hyomci
Brings Relief

Nearly everyone who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and cure
II by drugging the stomach. Tempo
rary relief may be given, but a cure
seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure ca
tarrh would be a change of climate :
but now with Hyomei you can carry
health-giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it a few
minutes four times a day, treat your
self successfully.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but little and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket
a medicine dropper and a bottle OF
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime,
and II one bottle is not enough, an eX-
ira bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
for a small sum. 1t is the most eco
nomical of all remedies advertised
for catarrh, and is the only one that
follows nature in her method of treat
ing diseases of the respiratory organs.
Remember, that il Hyomei does not
help you, H. c. Kennedy will refund
your money.-Advertisem
