West Fairview People
Deplore Councils Action
in Fireplug Matter

West Fairview, Pa, Dec. 6.-Resi-

the square are disappointed over the
action of council in refusing to au-
thorize the installation of a fireplug
at First avenue. Councilman Elmer
Erb. living in this section of the
town, and chairman of the plug
committee, explained to council the
need of plug at First avenue. At
ter making a strong plea for coun-
cils consent to place a plug here
Mr.. Erb was opposed by Councilman
Smeltzer, who claimed that council
did not have the money to install the
additional plug. A councilman TO-
day in discussing the matter said
that two plugs are located in the
immediate vicinity of Councilman
Smeltzer's property in Third street.
A plug also is located in Third street
at the front of his residence and an
other in Main street at the rear of
the property. Councilmen against

Finding Of Automobile

Philadelphia. Dec. 6. - The finding
yesterday of blue automobile in the

street, partially cleared up the mys-
terry of the disappearance of ]. Wal
ton Lyman. wealthy auto tire manu-
facturer, who was last seen April 2S,
The blue roadster. which was owned
by Lyman and in which he was last
seen before he disappeared, was drag
ged up intact from the river by work
men on the dredging boat Schuylkill.
Examination of the car showed it was
a 1913 model. The license tag. num-
bered 6044. which it bore, was found
by detectives to belong to Lyman.
Police boats were graphing late
last night in the place where the car
was found in an effort to find the
body of Lyman. How the automobile
with its owner went over that dock,
which is near the ShackamaNon ferry,
is as deep a mystery now as when
Lyman disappeared four and one-half
years ago, when his family and auto
mobile associations to which he be-
longed spent thousands of dollars in
nationwide search for him.

called in the burlesque world and
seventy companies scattered all over
the United States set themselves i'm
divtdually and collaterally to raise
$4,000 for this patriotic charity.
Great! Well, we should say so. Just
imagine what joy their enterprise
must bring to the Yankees in far off
France. And 1t shows what determi-
nation. enthusiasm and a little sacri-
tice will do. Order was given by the
Columbia and American burlesque
theatrical managers on a certain day
that the actors and actresses were to
canvass the house every night for
oen week. Some feared the audience
might be offended, but not a bit of it.
Within six days the $4,000 had been
collected and a check sent which
purchased 10000 complete kits.
Theatrical folks of this sort have
the hardest kind of life, travelling
night and day, little sleep, no home
comforts. They have some idea what
young soldier, perhaps leaving
home for the first time. must endure.
The kits included three packs of
cigarets, four bags of smoking tobac-
co, rice papers and an individual tin
of tobacco. 1t takes such small sum
to make a soldier contented with the
sweet, soothing American weed that
it is your duty, like the burlesquers,

New York: Wives and mothers
throughout the land will be glad to

is to give the young men good social
surroundings and entertainment some
of the boys are addicted to drink. His
experience is most interesting and
convincing. Here is his report: Some
weeks ago in discussing with a busi-
ness man one of the evils we have to
combat. namely the drink habit, he
mentioned Tescum and the wonderful
cures that had been effected through
its use. When returned to the home
after my interview l found upon max
ing inquiry that one of our boys knew
all about 'Tescum,' having used it
while in New York and through its
use rid himself of the liquor habit. He
tells me that since using the remedy
six months ago he has not taken
drink. Before taking the treatment

worst cases and the most remarkable
results followed. Not one of the five
has shown any signs of alcoholism

their word of honor they have not
taken a single drink of liquor since
the third day after beginning the
treatment. Their physical condition
has improved wonderfully. 1 am ia

mend it as a harmless, reliable home
remedy containing no habit-forming

where other remedies fail. l feel it
my duty when something so valuable
as Tescum is offered to the public to
put my stamp of approval on it. May
IL continue it's successful fight against
the great destroyer of homes, the
drink habit"
NOTE - Tescum is odorless, color
less and tasteless and can be given
secretly in tea, coffee or any food. The
manufacturers guarantee it to stop

only the fieshy part of his neck and
