People with thin blood are much more
subject to headaches than full-blooded
persons and the form of anemia that al
ficts growing girls is almost always ac-
companied by headache together with
digestive disturbances and constipation.

curing headaches and pallor of the
face they show that the blood is thin and
your efforts should be directed towards
building up your blood A treatment
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills will do
this effectively and the rich, red blood
will remove the headache.

caused by thin blood than you have any
idea of. When the blood is impover-
ished the nerves suffer from lack of
nourishment and you may have in
somnia, neuritis, neuralgia or sciatica.
Muscles subject to strain are under
nourished and you may have muscular
rheumatism orlumbago. your blood
is thin and you begin to show symp-
toms of these disorders try building up
the blood with DR.. Williams Pink Pills

pear as the blood is restored to normal.

play among the children" as he de-
scribed his part in the "Romper Day"
entertainment. Ever since 1909 he
has made this annual event the most
popular day in the year for the little
ones. Up until that time the exhi-
bition of the children's exercises at
Reservoir Park was without u feast.
Mr.. Kunkel thought this was a mis-
take and he promptly corrected it.
The first feast was attended by one
thousand children and each year the
number increased until over four
thousand were fed at the last "Romper
Day." held on the last Friday in Au-
gust, 1915. The event was not held
last summer because of infantile pa
ralysis rulings.

Permanent Fund Provided
While it is not known to be GER
tainty, those who have been most
closely associated with Mr.. Kunkel
are of the opinion that provision has
been made in his will for a fund to
provide the eats on the annual
"Romper Day. in the future.
Although Mr. Kunkel was probably
best known in this city for his chari-
ldDle WOTh, ne was prominent III pO-
litical and financial affairs. He was a
lifelong Democrat and one of the
leaders of his party in the state. While
he was always ready to serve his
party, he could never be induced to
run for office in state, county or city.
At the time of his death he was treas
urer of the State Democratic COM
mittee.
Mr.. Kunkel was born in Shippens-
burg, Pa, in 1850. He was educated
in the country schools and until he
was twenty clerked in a general store
in his home town. He then came to
Harrisburg and entered the drug store
of Samuel A. Kunkel, who was
cousin. He later became bookkeeper
in the Mechanics Bank, of which his
uncle, Jacob c. Bomberger was owner.
In 1897 Mr.. Kunkel was made assist
ant cashier and he retained that post
until 1910, when he retired from active
connection with the bank. He was
one of the leading stockholders and a
director in the Mechanics Trust Com
pany and was a director of the Har-
risburg Railways Company, the Chest
nut Street Market Company and the
recently organized Harrisburg Hotel
Company, which is planning to build

Governor Tener appointed Mr..
Kunkel q member of the Capitol Park
Extension Commission and his l1nowl-
edge of real estate was cf valuable
assistance to the commission. Mr..
kunkel was one of the biggest realty
holders in the city,
Mr. Kunkel was member of the
Harrisburg Club, but was connected
with no fraternal organizations. lie
was famed as a story teller, and knew
more anecdotes and songs of bygone
days than most men.
Mr.. Kunkels grandfather was
Christian KunlSel, one of the early set
tiers of Harrisburg and in his day
large holder of realty. His mother was
Rachel Bomberger, sister of the late
Jacob C. Bomberger, who founded the
old Mechanics Bank, now the Mechan-
les Trust Company.
Mr.. Kunkel married Annie +. Eager,
in 1894, daughter of DR.. John Eager.
They had no children. Mrs. KunkeI
died in 1914. Mr.. Kunkel is survived
by brother, Charles A. Kunkel, pres
ident of the Mechanics Trust Company,
and the following sisters: Mrs. Anna
e. Montgomery, of Shippensburg; Mrs
