What class suffered most from
the epidemic Of influenza. Author
tiles everywhere agree that those in
temporary state of Glow vitality"
made up the major portion OF
fatalities.
If you are a fatalist, you will not
believe in preparedness, but if you
are Fighter" you will see the wis
dom of keeping your body and nerv-
Gus system strong so that disease
will not find fertile soil in which to
carry on it's ravages.
Medicine rightly used at the right
time is like the "Big Guns in War"
If your vitality is low, you catch
cold" all too readily, you are weak,
nervous and ailing with aches and
pains of unknown origin, you tire
easily and are irritable and often
sleepless at night; digestion Is
faulty, liver and bowels irregular,
appetite tickle and you never feel
bright and happy as you once did.
Strange tremors seize you, memory
seems failing and many of the joys
>of life are denied you, through lack
of energy and ambition.
Three grain Cadomene Tablets
were formulated by brilliant medi-
cal man, just for the treatment and
restoration to health Of those who
suffer as perhaps you do.
Millions Of packages have been
sold in the past few years, and your
druggist can supply you, and help
you fight disease conditions. -

MECHANICSBURG
, SHORT OF COAL
Several Carloads Received
and Distributed in Small
Lots Has Been Used Up

Mechanicsburg, Pa, Feb. 5.-To-
day the coal situation in Mechanics
burg is very serious and it is said
that at least 100 families are entirely
without fuel. Many of them have
been using bituminous coal for
some time, but that has been ex-
hausted.
In the latter part of the week sew
eral carloads of anthracite were re-
ceived by the local dealers and di-
Vided up among the housekeepers
of the town. One dealer says he
divided in small lots, to be taken
away in bags and on sleds and wheel
barrowS fifty-one tons of coal di-
rect from the car. People from all
parts of the town were waiting in
line at the different coal yards to
secure small supply. The wagons
We're kept busy all day Sunday dis
tributing the coal from the yards.
This shipment to the dealers help
ed out to certain extent but the eX-
treme cold weather yesterday and
to-day has again brought on a short
age that will cause great suffering
unless soon relieved.
1t is stated that there are three
or four carloads of coal on a siding
of the Cumberland Valley railroad
at Lemoyne. consigned to Mechan-
icsburg dealers, which they have
been unable to have delivered. This
matter has been taken up with the
Cumberland county fuel administra-
tor at Carlisle.
