Weak nerves rob men and women
of all the JOY of life and quickly re-
duce the strong and robust to a con-
dition which is pitiable in the ex-
treme. This condition is brought
about slowly and stealthily in the
majority of cases, and the poor SUI
terer fails to realize what is wrong
until faulty memory, indecision, lack
of desire for work or recreation, in
somnia or some other unmistakable
symptom indicates weak nerves 1t
is then that many people make the
OF so-called nerve tonics, alcoholic
stimulants or drugs. Nothing could
be more harmful or more dangerous.
The nerves are weak and exhausted: /:
they need food and nourishment-
not drugs that will lash them into
temporary activity. Feed your nerves
and they will become strong again
ard your health will improve in con-
sequence. That is the advice of pres
cnt day physicians and specialists
and the nerve food they recommend is
Just one 5-gr. tablet of pure bitro-
phosphate taken during or immedi-
ately after every meal. Simple ad-
vice, but its excellence has been prov

HARRISBURG TO
BE CENTER OF
TOURIST ROUTE
New Penn-Harris Hotel TO
Bring Many Strangers
to This City

Frank A. Dudley. president of the
United Hotels Company. which will
have the active management of the
Penn-Harris, is in the city to-day
and will meet with the directors of
the Harrisburg Hotel Company this
evening. He is busy outlining some
automobile tours similar to the IA
NOUS Empire and other tours or
ganized by the United Hotels COM
pany, and stated to-day that Har-
risburg would be the starting point
of an important southern tour.
"The Southern Tour Association" +"
said Mr.. Dudley, lis being organ
ICED by prominent hotel and COM
mercial interests of the South. as
sisted by the United Hotels Com
pany, for the purpose of establish
ing automobile routes between the
North and the South.
The scenic route, which has been
determined upon, starts at Harris
burg and thence extends to the
South through Gettysburg, Harper's
Ferry, Winchester, Knoxville, Chat
tanooga, Birmingham and thence to
Mobile, with a branch going west to
New Orleans and another branch
east to Jacksonville and Southern
Florida points.
The mountain scenery through
this district is finer than anything
in the Adirondacks. This route is
dotted with familiar places of his
roric interest. The Tennessee river
section comprises some of the most
wonderful scenery in the South.
AT Birmingham, which is the
great industrial center of the South,
the capacity of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company is practically be-
ing doubled to provide for the man
ufacture of ship plates, structural
steel and other steel products.
Blooming mills are being erected so
as to enlarge the business of the COM
pany from a pigiron manufacturing
plant to a general steel plant. They
are also building n steel car plant
which will be the largest in the
United States. The same company
is erecting at Mobile a large ship
building concern. which will be sup
piled largely from Birmingham.
Heretofore tourists have traV-
eled east and west, but the roads
along these southern routes will be
in condition the coming summer so
as to permit of safe, convenient and
comfortable travel by automobile
north and south and the hundreds
of thousands of tourists who have
travelled east and west will now
have opportunity to visit southern
lands during the spring, fall and
winter months by automobile. Har-
risburg will be the starting point
south.
The organization of the company
will be held at Birmingham some
time in February, and thereafter the
preparation of maps and literature
will be commenced for distribution
throughout the north the coming
spring"

When Itching Stops

There is one safe, dependable treat.
ment that relieves itching torture and
skin irritation almost instantly and
that cleanses and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for 35c or ST bottle
of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little zemo, the penetrating, salts.
