NEW PLAN TO
TAKE SOLDIER
VOTE IN FIELD
Company Plan Given Up Be-
cause of Division of
Commands

Reasons why no attempt will be
made to take the votes of Pennsyl-
vania soldiers by organizations as
was done in the Civil War and dur
ing Mexican border service are con-
tanned in letter written by Attorney
General Brown to Governor Brum-
baugh. Companies and regiments are
now made up regardless of localities
where recruited and changes are con-
stantly being made. Mr.. Brown
writes:
1T has been deemed expedient
therefore, to take the vote by coun-
ties in each regiment or separate
military units and not by companies
and to open poll for each county
represented in q regiment where
there are more than ten voters from
such county except in case where the
preponderance of voters in q regi-
ment is from one county, in which
case 1t would be advisable to open q
poll for each company or combine
two Or more companies in one poll
ing place so that each poll would vote
approximately the same number OF
men. If less than ten men from one
county are represented in a regiment
that county and some other one oil
more counties should be Joined foi
on polling place"
Commissioners are instructed tc
| ascertain Immediately upon arrival
at camp from the officer in com
mand of a regiment or other unit
THE number of counties represented
in each company of the regiment
and the number of men, from each
county"
1t is also suggested that commits.
sioners to each camp meet at moor
on election day and then determine
any matters of dispute or doubt thai
may have arisen.

ECKINGER IS PUT
IN FALSE LIGHT
His Opponents Using Untrue
Statements to Injure
His Candidacy

Friends of Coroner Jacob Eckinger,
who is a candidate for reelection,
pointed out to-day that opponents
are not honest in their criticisms OF
his conduct of his office.
They are going about telling the
voters that a physician as coroner
could save the county much money
by acting as his own physician in
making postmorten examinations.
This is not true.
The law would not permit 1t.
The law is that in case of the COO
rer or his jury suspecting murder,
the examination must be made by one
physician selected by the coroner and
another selected by the district at
torney.
The coroner is not permitted to act
as his own physician.
Instead of running up fees need
lessly, the records will show that
Eckinger has been very economical
and that the coronet's office costs
the people here very little as com
pored with the expense of that ofhce
in some other counties.

When a medicine has been on the
market for more than half cen

than ever you may be sure it has
genuine merit.
For over fifty years S. S. S. has
been sold in drug stores. 1t is free
from any dangerous drugs or chem
icals, and is made from roots and
herbs of the forest, from a formula
handed down by the Indians. Its
reputation as a blood purified has be-
come so Widespread that to-day there
is hardly a druggist anywhere who
has not sold S. S. S. ever since he
has been in business.
