WAR FUND GROWS
WITH BELATED
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Checks May Be Mailed to the

With the campaign officially closed
two days ago Harrisburg still is con-

Work fund. The quota of $1S0,000
has been oversubscribed to the
amount of S197,107.
Campaign headquarters, Room 704,
Kunkel building, will remain open
indefinitely. 1t is known there are
numbers OF persons who have not
been solicited during the campaign,
and It.. r.. Eckenrode. secretary of
the Harrisburg committee, urges
that these call at headquarters with
their voluntary subscriptions. Checks
should be mailed or given to George
w. Reilly, treasurer of the fund, who
is at the Harrisburg Trust Company.
Two more wards have gone over
the top in their race for their quotas,
leaving only two wards still under
their allotted amounts. 1t is report
ed that the canvassers of these two
wards are working hard to secure
their quotas, to make the fourteen
wards of the city one hundred per

In an effort to get subscription from
every house.
The subscription of S197,107 by
the city is peculiarly gratifying to

as that is in excess of the quota
which was allotted the entire county
by the headquarters of the Eastern
Division, of which Pennsylvania is
a part. The city managers now are

A Dead Stomach
Of What Use Is It?

Thousands? yes hundreds of thou
sands of people throughout America
are taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are numbering their own
stomach, the best friend they have
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws
of nature.
This is no sensational statement: n
is a startling fact. the truth of which
any honorable physician will not deny,
These thousands of people are swal-
lowing daily huge quantities of pepsIn
and other strong digesters, made es-
pecially to digest the food in the
stomach without any aid at all from
the digestive membrane of the stom-
ach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they
do more. Taken regularly for a few
weeks they build up the run down
stomach and make it strong enough
to digest its own food. Then indiges-
ton. belching, sour stomach and bead
ache will so.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere and by II. C.
Kern edy, who guarantees them.-Ad-
