FELT RIGHT
''Had Pains For Years
---Nerves Were Bad
III a d Stomach
Trouble"

Says Mr. II. Pierson, 111S Cumber-
land ST.. Harrisburg, Il allied for
years with pains in my back and
shoulders, which extended to the
cords of my back and they would
become stiff and sore.
"I felt tired and worn, was
drowsy and sleepy and lacked the
punch. My appetite went back OH
me, my nerves went to pieces and
on rising in the morning my stom-
ach felt sore and had a nasty taste
in my mouth. 1 never felt right and
tried the various advertised medi-
cines without any result.
81 saw a Sanpan advertisement,
and a man who was in a similar
condition to mine had been helped,
so l gave it a trial and it drove away
all aches and pains, steadied my
nerves, fixed up my stomach and
made a new man out of me-"
Sanpan is being introduced as
usual at Keller's Drug Store, 405
Market ST., Harrisburg.-adv.

WASTE OF GARDEN STUFF.

Two factors In the high cost of fruit
and vegetables have received but little
notice from the consuming public.
reief TO the questions Of grading fruit
and vegetables and the licensing Of
hucksters.
Fruit and vegetables arc graded by
selecting the finest specimens, and then
they are sold at a price to cover the
entire crop. while the greater portion
produced Is wasted. We pay as much
Tor dozen apples as half a bushel of
wholesome cooking apples should cost.
II fruit and vegetables were sorted
sufficiently to Gull out the partly de-
cayed and badly bruised portion, these
10 be sold as such, a vast amount Of
STUFF would come on the market at n
moderate price. and at the same time
fancy fruit could be sold by the dozen
TO those in quest of that grade.
Nearly all cities issue hucksters' IL
censes, and the huckster, by working in
union with the storek eepers, create a
monopoly inside the city limits. The
producer is kept from access to the city
with his load of fruit ana vegetables
unless he takes out license, and. this
would not be profitable to the average
producer. The result Is to allow the
hrcksters and other dealers to exact
from the consumer as high a price ss
possible and at the same time set the
price to the producer. Public markets
should be provided in cities and the
privileges of the market limited to the
producer only.-New York Sun.
