EVERYBODY E
USING TONSILINE!

The Spanish influenza epidemic
has meant a wonderful increase IN
the sale of Tonsiline-The National
Sore Throat Remedy.
The moment medical authorizes
advised frequent use of an effective
garple to sterilize the throat, which
these deadly germs must use as a
gateway and breeding ground IN
entering the body. countless families
went to their medicine shelf or sent
to the nearest druggist for a bottle
of Tonsiline.
Also, the majority of those aifllct-
ed with this dreaded malady found
themselves suffering from decidedly
sore throats and many of them have
renewed their faith in this time tried
remedy.
For more than a quarter OF a CEN
tury Tonsiline has been relieving
most of the sore throats in the ter
ritory where it was sold. This rec
ord stamps it as being particularly
indicated right now as a preventive
and relief in doing its share toward
ending the present situation. 1t is

BODY HANGING THREE

and last night the body was brought
TO the undertaking parlors of 5. Har-
per Myers.
Exposed to the weather for almost
three months, the body could only
be identified by the clothing, a knife
and a razor which were found in the
pockets, and a pocketbook. That Mr..
Porter wandered away from home
during the hot weather in August
and committed suicide by hanging
himself, using a long grape vine to
make a moose, was the opinion eX-
pressed by DIR. j. II. Dearborn, coro-
ner of Cumberland county.
Mr.. Porter was well known in this
vicinity. For years he had been
farming at Bowmansdale, but about
a month before his disappearance he
removed to the home in East Coover
street with his family. After he left
home searching parties of borough
police. residents and detectives failed
to locate him and number of re-
ports that he had been seen were in
vestigated without any definite re-
suits.
Surviving Mr.. Porter are his wife,
two daughters, Catherine and Edna,
and one son, William, who is in the
United States Navy. Complete fu-
neral arrangements have not been
made.

STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead OF
taking tonics, or trying to patch up
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment - clogged
liver and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes Indigestion and stomach troubles.
II you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets the
substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain.

relief, so you can eat what you like.

KIDNEYS NEVER
CAUSE BACKACHE
Rub pain, soreness and stiff
ness right out with old
"St. Jacobs Liniment"

Kidneys cause backache? No!
They have no nerves, therefore can
not cause pain. Listen! Your back
ache is caused by lumbago, sciatica
or strain, and the quickest relief
is soothing, penetrating st. Jacobs
Liniment." Rub it right on the ache
or tender spot, and instantly the
pain, soreness, stiffness and lameness
disappears. Don't stay crippled! Get
a small trial bottle of "St. Jacobs
Liniment" from your druggist and
timber up. A moment after it is
applied you'll wonder what became
of the backache, sciatica or lum-
bago pain. "St. Jacobs Liniment"
stops any pain at once. 1t is harm
less and doesn't burn or discolor
the skin.
It's the only application to rub on
a weak, lame or painful back, or
for lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, sprains or a strain.

CAN DEMOCRATS
WIN ELECTIONS
BY DECEPTION?
Slogan of Don't Hamper the
President" Applies to
Democratic Leaders

Washington, Oct. 80. As the
campaign for the control of tho next
Congress gets into full swing 1t Is
more apparent than ever that the
Democratic leaders are trying TO de-
ceive the voters into believing that
Democratic Congress should be
elected in order that President Will
son should not be hampered.
It Is equally evident, however, that
In trying to make this the campaign
issue, the Democrats are going TO
run up against a stone wall, as by
such argument they are only con-
demning the leaders and the major
ity of their own party in Congress,
as shown by the records.
When the Commander-in-Ch Chief,
President Wilson, wished TO raise
an army to back up our declaration
of war with Germany he proposed
a plan of raising an army which
was also n plan of the War Depart
ment The Democratic leadership Of
the House opposed this plan by voice
and vote in April, 1917. Speaker
Clark led in hampering the Presi-
dent. He was aided by Chairman
Dent. of the House Military Commit
tee; Chairman Padgett, of the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs Chairman
Kitchin, of the Ways and Means
Committee, and also floor leader of
the Democrats, and nineteen other
Democratic chairmen of the leading
committees, all of whom voted
against the bill. Three other lead
ing Democratic chairmen did not
vote, although present This made
a total of twenty of the Demo-
cratic leaders who led their own
party in hampering the nation S
Commander-in-Ch on this first
vital war measure.
Democrats Again Hamper Wilson
on August 20, 1918, when the
COMMANDMENT Chief, President Will
son, asked for a modification of the
draft law that would enable America
to raise the Army of Victory, which
is now Foch's strong right arm,
practically all the Democratic lead
ers, from Speaker Clark down, and
an actual majority of the Democrats
in the House, fought and voted
against the request of President VIII
son. In this, a war crisis, when
Foch and Haig were calling upon
America for more manpower and
Wilson was trying to give them the
help they asked, Sc Democrats voted
against increasing the army as the
President and Commander-in-Ch
requested and only so voted in favor
of it. Under the leadership of Rep
resentative Kahn, the Republicans
gave III votes to,help out the Presi-
dent-or 81 more votes than the
Democrats gave him.
These were the two most vital
war measures of the present Con-
gress, for without the passage of
either of these bills Americas par
ticipation in the war would have
been impossible and the Huns by
this time would have been in Paris
and have dictated a victorious peace
not only to Europe but to the United
States and the rest of the civilized
world.
What Democrats Really Want
The stubborn tenacity with which
the Democratic leaders cling to the
deceptive argument that it is recess
sary to re-elect them in order that
the President may receive proper
support to prosecute the war TO a
successful close only indicates they

ARRESTED FOR PERJURY

Agnes Slesser. one of the princi-
pal witnesses in three cases dispos-
ed of at the last session of criminal
court, has been arrested on a charge
of perjury. She will be given a
hearing on Friday afternoon at 2
o'clock before Alderman George A.

one of the chief witnesses in suits
against her sister, Katie Slesser, held
on a serious charge; Joseph Tressler,
who had been arrested in a similar
case and George Myers, held for

is alleged at the trial of one of these
cases she gave evidence and at the
the trial of another one denied the
first statement by making a contra
dictory one. County Detective James
T. Walters made the arrest.
