At that time England, although she
had declared war on Germany, had

their big. guns at Calais, and throw

many would not have Calais within the
next ten days did not occur to him as
a possibility. In this and other con
Yersations at about the same time
Wangenhelm laughed at the idea that
England could create a large independ-
ent army. The idea is pTeposterous,''
ne said. 1T takes generations of mill
tarism to produce anything like the
German army. We have been building
II. up for 200 years. 1t takes 80 years
OF constant training to produce such
generals as we have. Our army will
always maintain its organization. We

our army Will be kept intact"
A few weeks later civilization was
outraged by the German bombardment

Of their carefully considered plans.

action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

OH! FOR RELIEF
FROM FLAMING
SKIN DISEASES

You know we'll enough that
you cannot reach the blood by
applying lotions, ointments,
salves, washes and other local
applications to the surface of
the skin. So when you use such
treatment for your tormenting
skin diseases, the most you can
expect is temporary discon-
tinuance of the pain, which
promptly returns, and keeps you
constantly applying the local
remedies, making no progress
whatever toward permanently
ridding yourself of the disease.
Why longer continue such
makeshift treatment? Go to
your drugstore to-day and get a
bottle of S. S. S., the reliable
blood purifier, and begin a treat
ment that will prove satisfac-
tory, as it has to thousands of
OtherS VINO were afflicted Just
as you have been. S. S. S., has
been used for more than fifty
years, so that you are not eX-
perimenting when you take it.
1t will promptly cleanse the
blood of every impurity, and
rout out entirely every trace of
disease germs.
Don't continue to suffer, but
begin taking S. S. S. to-day, and
write our head physician, who
will give you full instructions
about your own case. Address

City to Drive Hard to Do
Its Share in the Third
Loan Bond Campaign

"The war has come a lot closer
to us since the last Liberty Loan"
observed one member of the Lib
erty Loan committee for this district
in speaking of the conference yes
terday in Philadelphia, ''and we
must see to it that the Third loan is
subscribed and oversubscribed. l am
confident it can be DONE"
The representatives from this
district who attended the confer
ence in Philadelphia arranged by
the Third Federal Reserve District,
were George e. Lloyd, chairman
Cumberland county; John A. Kohler,
chairman Juniata county; b. W..
Pomeroy, executive secretary Juni-
alta county; p. +. Duncan, chairman
Perry county; j. Clyde Myton, eXecu-
tive secretary for the Harrisburg
district and Donald Mccormick,
chairman of the district.
1t is not officially settled as yet,
but the impression is that the quota
for this district will be $7,500,000,
and for Harrisburg alone $4,000,OO0,
the same as for the Second loan.
That the local committee will get
this no one doubts who has heard
them predict results and announce
plans for the canvass which will
not begin until the latter part of
April.
A unique method for squirting the
stingy one will be the publication
of the names of all persons who
refuse to subscribe to the loan, to-
gether with their reasons. A field
hitherto somewhat neglected will be
the farm population. for the farmer
has not been famously responsive.
A third departure will be the COM
plete canvassing of all schoolchil-
dren. The latter promises big re-
suits, judging by the response up to
date from schools all over Dauphin
county. Harrisburg, as before, will
be subjected to a house-to-house
campaign.

Terrifying Itching Causes
Continuous Torture

Do you sometimes feel like
you will scream if you do not
get relief from the tormenting
and terrifying itching and irri-
tating burning that makes you
feel like your very skin is
ablaze?
Possibly your disorder has not
reached the torturing stage as
yet, but there are thousands of
victims of skin diseases that
know too we'll the we'll nigh un-
endurable pain that comes from
eruptions, irritations, pi1nples,
boils, ulcers, eczema, psoryasis,
carbuncles and the numerous
other forms of torment that at
tack the delicate tissues of the
skin.
The only proper method of
treatment for any disease, is a
remedy that will reach its
source, that will remove it's
cause, and not simply palliate
its symptoms. Every form of
skin ailment comes from a col
ony of millions upon millions of
tiny disease germs that infest
the blood. Naturally, then, these
germs must be eradicated from
the blood before cure can be
expected.
