'LENOIR MEETS
TRAITOR'SDEATH
Executed on Charges of Hav-
ing Held Intelligence With
the Enemy
BIZ Associated Press

Paris, oct. 24-Pierre Lenoir, con-
victed on a charge of having held
intelligence with the enemy, was exc
cuted at Sante Prison at O'Clock
this morning.
Pierre Lenoir was the third per-
son to be executed on charges aris-
ing out of attempts made by Ger
man agents to conduct a "defeatist'
campaign in France in 1915 and
1916. The others who met death
as a result of revelations made
against them were Bolo Pasha, exc
cuted April Il, 1915, ana Nj. DuNdi,
who faced the firing squad July II,
1918. Both were directors of the
Germanophile newspaper Bonnet
Rouge.
Paid Out Large Sums
Lenoir, who as a young man had
led an idle and dissolute life, came
into public notice early in 1918 when
the arrest of Senator Humbert, own
er of the Paris Journal. was follow
ed by charges against several men
who were alleged to have acted as
agents of the Germans in buying
the newspaper from NJ. Humbert. 1t
was shown early in the investiga-
ton that Lehoir had paid NJ. Hum
bert large sums of money whicn
he had received from Germans, and
that Lenoir had received a commits
sion of about 100000 for his work.
The money handled by Lenoir came
into France by the way of Switzer-
land, German agent named School
Ter acting for Germany in that coun-
try.
Lenoir was doomed to death on
May s, 1919, and desperate but futile
efforts were made to gain Il commu-
tationgof his sentence. Lenoir was
removed to Sante Prison after what
appeared to be his last chance for
life had vanished, but on Septem-
ber 10, last, when the firing squad
was in position and all preparations
for his execution had been made,
his life was spared for a time in a
most dramatic manner. His attor-
ney asserted that Lenoir could give
evidence wanted in the case of Jo-
seph CaillauX, who was yesterday
brought before the high court OF
the French Senate on a charge of
'conspiring to bring about a prema-
ture and dishonorable peace with
Germany" Lenoir was given a
searching examination by judicial
authorities, but subsequently it was
announced that nothing he had laid
before the officials would justify Il
mitigation of the sentence of death
passed upon him. An appeal to the
Court of Revision was rejected OH
October 81.

SAUERKRAUT AND
"HOT DOGS" FOR
WOODCHOPPERS
Brave Band to Fare Forth Into
Wildwood's Wilds After
Winters Fuel

Saurkraut and hot dogs" to say
nothing of rolls and coffee! If you
can beat that menu by anything at
all, there's no use in coming to the
housekeeping at Wildwood to-mor-
row afternoon. But unless the COM
mittee in charge is very much mis-
taken, Just the magic sound of "hot
dogs" and saurkraut snould have
half the city of Harrisburg out chop
ping wood.
And after all, think of the exer-
else. Frank Musser, who is chief
OF the chopping team of the Rotary
club, said with confidence when in
terviewed last night that there was
no doubt of another Rotary victory
this year. He claimed that the team
of last year was so far in the van
that the others looked like his eX-
Majesty in Holland.
Wood Is Ready
The wood is ready, the axes are
sharp the food is prepared, the
trucks are ready to haul it away -
all that remains is to see the brawny
sons of toll in action. And by the
way, there will be some who remem-
Der the Sons of Rest, who contrib
uted so largely to the building of
the Penn-Harris. This morning their
president said that the Sons would
positively be on the ground to give
advice and offer comment, provided
suitable leaning places were ar
ranged.
AL. X. Thomas, who spent his
earlier years as a lumberjack in the
Canadian woods, has been unani-
mously selected as the captain of

the Kiwanis team, and he had his
outfit on the streets at an early
hour this morning, giving them set
ting up exercises to condition them
for the struggle of tomorrow. Mr..
Thomas confidently predicts a VIC
tory for his huskies.
Need More Axes
The Y. M. c. A. has chosen Doc"
Miller to lead them, and there is
no doubt but that he will far out
weigh the rest of the contestants.
The fire builders of the "Y'' are con-
fidently expecting him to supply
them for the rest of the winter. And
speaking of fire burners, Ross Swope
has been reappointed Boss Brush
Burner, with full powers over all
brush in the outlying districts of
Wildwood.
The Children's Industrial Home,
the Nursery Home, and the W
building are to receive the choppings
for fire wood, and inasmuch as last
years work resulted in sufficient
wood for the entire winter, it is al
most certain that with the evident
increased attendance this year there
will be enough for all three places.
So, Grant Forrer has the wood
and tools all ready, but there won't
be enough axes to go round; If you
have any at home bring it with you.
The gang will meet in front of the
"Y" building at 1.30 and proceed
directly to the Division street en-
trance of Wildwood Park. Those
coming up later may take the car
to Division and then walk straight
across the footpath. The saurkraut
and hot dogs" will be ready for you.

If your teeth are loose or if your
gums are receding and are sore, ten

or Geo. A. Gorgas and get a one

This is a famous dentists prescrfp-
tion for such serious gum diseases as
Pyorrhoea or Riggs Disease which
makes the teeth loosen and fall out
and usually brings prompt relief
from all the dangerous symptoms.
Loose teeth should tighten and gums
grow sound and healthy in short

to use, and not expensive as one
ounce will last for many weeks. Any
one suffering from Pyorrhoea or
Riggs Disease or Sore. Tender Gums
should give this remedy a trial.

Without an
Operation
Wonderful Healing Of Rupture
How a New Jersey Man
Got Rid of a Severe, OBJ
stinate, Right Inguinal
Hernia Without the
Slightest Trouble.

Below is a picture of Eugene NJ.
Pullen. a weil-known carpenter Of
Manasquan, New Jersey. If you
could see him at his work. particu-
larly when he handles heavy timber,
jumps and climbs around like a youth,
you would scarcely imagine that he
had formerly been afflicted with a
rupture.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-10-24

AT an early age, Eu.gene Pullen was
an express driver. He handled rail-
road baggage. One day after deliver
ing a heavy trunk on an upper floor
he felt pain in the right groin. The
suffering increased and il was not
long before the young man noticed
the swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear a t.uss throughout life or
submit to a drastic operation. All
surgeons know that hernia operations.
with anaesthetics, etc, are dangerous:
they may end fatally Moreover, il
is a we'll established fact that many
rupture operations are not successful;
the bowel soon breaks through the
sewed-up opening and protrudes
worse than ever.
Afraid of Operation
Like most others, Mr. Pullen de-
clined to take the risks of an opera
tion: the expense and loss of time had
to be considered, too. Hoping he
might get a little better encourag ge-
ment, he went to another physician
who, to his sorrow, gave him even
less hope. 1t was pointed out to the
young man that unless the rupture
were perfectly held all the time or
the surgeons knife successfully used,
he might expect an increase or dou-
bling in the rupture with further
complications, or the dreaded stran-
gulated hernia which kills so many
ruptured people.
Victim of Trusses
The victim bought a truss. hard.
spring-like affair, the best he could
get. 1t tortured him. He tried an
other-still no relief. He was COM
pelled to give up his express busi-
ness. The hard tasks of ordinary
men were forbidden him. He became
f.,c af,f IN,
tion he did not need to do bodily
work.
For six years Mr.. PulIen dragged
around, using various trusses, hard,
ment. One day his mother told him
something she had just found out 1t
was a simple and easy thing for him
to do. He lost no time.
Discarded His Truss
Relief came at once; he almost for
got that he had any rupture Aftere
and, although years have passed
and Mr.. Pullen is an energetic car
penter, working on buildings, climb
ing over roofs, lifting lumber and
such like. he is absolutely free from
the old hernia. He knows he is com
pletely, lastingly cured. There was
no operation, no lost time, no trou-
