TOILET CONTRACT
FOR COALHAULNG
School Board Will Take Ac-
ton September z; Approve
Open Air School Plans

Final action on the question of let
ting a contract for hauling coal from
the railroad yards to the various
schoolbuildings probably will be taken
at the meeting of the school board
or September Z.
At a special session yesterday aft
ernoon the directors discussed the
reported attempts of a number of
Harrisburg dealers to force the board
to pay at least 50 a ton to have the
coal delivered. Secretary d. d. Ham
elbaugh was authorized to get more
definite information from all dealers.
and he Is considering a plan to have
the various men submit proposals in
writing.
During the discussion an anonymous
letter to President George A. Werner
was asked to explain what was the
weight of the coal purchased from
the Dealers. 900 or 2.240 pounds per
ten. President Warner explained the
district coal supply is bought di-
rect from the mines and the retailers
have nothing to do with furnishing
1t except to haul it.
Plans for the open-air school to be
built at Fifth avi Seneca streets were
approved by the board and s. Howard
Lloyd was paid $1.050 for the first
part of his work. Bids will be opened
September 81 and the erection of the
building will be started as soon as
possible. Requests will be made in
the bidding for bids on four varieties
OF trimming. The board authorized
the installation of gas for cooking at
the Steel building. The Harrisburg
Gas Company will make the installa-
tion at a cost of 500.

Senator Mason's statement in regard
to Nuxated Iron was shown to several
physicians who were requested to
give their opinions thereon. =
DR.. Ferdinand King, Ia New York
Physician and Medical Author said:

statement in regard to Nuxated Iron.
There can be no vigorous iron men
without iron. Pallor means anemia-
Anemia means iron deficiency. The

Taft Strongly Commends
Wilson's Appeal as Light
to Blinded Teuton Nation
By WILLIAM H. TAFT.

Point a Pic. Quebec. Aug. So.-I
strongly commend President Wilson's
attitude toward the Pope's peace pro-
posals. The present union of the
democratic peoples of the world in a
titanic struggle to defeat German
militarism is provtdential and affords
an opportunity for the greatest step
forward in Christian civilization
taken in centuries.
This opportunity and the enormous
sacrifices the allies have made and
are making to cut the cancer of mill

must not be wasted by a patched-u1.
compromise peace with the Hohenzol
ltrn- Prussian military caste still in
control of Germans military and for
eign policy. Such a peace would be
a mere truce, TO be ended when the
Kaiser, the Crown Prince and Luden-
dcrff think it wise.
All the world must continue arma-
ments after such a peace in mere
self-defense; the worlds blood and
treasure spent as never before will
have achieved nothing. Our goal Us
permanent peace. That is impossible
until by force of arms we have estab-
lished International morality and the
sacred character of every nations
obligations as basis for interna-
tional law.
We do not seek to force democracy
on the Germans by defeating their
present rulers and the idea of German
destiny to be won by forcible con-
quest. We shall show them the flu
tility of the false philosophy with
which they have been poisoned by
nifty years teaching of Bismarck and
the Kaiser and reveal to them the
hideous futility of the sacrifices they
have made to the Frankenstein of
military autocracy.
The survival of the monster will
be fatal to the safety of democracy.
IL must be destroyed because without
real and lasting peace the peoples y no
embrace democracy cannot secure its
great benefits. The victory in the
present war of the unprepared democ-
racies of the world over a military
power developed to it's highest eff
and application of the most scientific
principles will make the German
people see when the scales thus fall
from their eyes, and not until then
will the nations of the world be able
to use their, power jointly to secure
world peace. Hence. let there be no
peace without victory of righteous

SIMPLE HERBAL
REMEDY BEST FOR
BILIOUSNESS AND
CONSTIPATION

It's quite easy to move the consti-
pated bowels and obtain temporary
relief by taking Calomel, Salts and
other drastic purgatives. But at what
cost? Habits are quickly formed
which leave their victims worse off
than before.
The habit of drinking plenty OF
pure water is a good one, since the
lack of fluids in the body is one OF
the chief causes of constipation.
Drink more water" says authority,
and take a few doses of a purely
vegetable remedy like Lebanon Herb
Tablets, if you wish to conquer con-
stipation.
These little tablets act directly on
the kidneys and liver, but do not cause
purging, only a gentle movement of
the bowels being apparent. Begin to-
night; you will feel one hundred per
cent. better by the morning.
Simply ask your druggist for csc
box of Lebanon Herb Tablets and take
tonight as directions advise. They
are only sold on a guarantee of salts
faction or money back. Geo. A. Cor
gas can supply you.-Advertisemen

ORPHAN GIRL DISAPPEARS

Waynesboro, Pa, Aug. 80. - The
disappearance of Maggie Gsell, an
orphan girl. from the home of her
guardian, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, who
lives along the Waynesboro road
about three miles from Chambers
burg, is causing considerable worry
to the latter. The girl left the farm
of Mrs. Smith on Sunday after milk
ing the cows, and putting them to
pasture. She has not been heard
from since, and her whereabouts is
a complete mystery to the woman
who took her in and has mothered
her ever since she was five years
old. Maggie had no money and took
with her only the clothes she wore
at the time. She was garbed in a
blue dress, plaid coat and blue hat.
