Magazines Needed For
Soldiers, Says Red Cross

Appeals for thousands of maga-
zines a month to be given the SOL
diers passing through Harrisburg on
troop trains were issued this morning
by the Canteen Division of the Har-
risburg Chapter, American Red
Cross.
Between three and five thousand
soldiers pass through Harrisburg in
day, oftentimes, it was explained.
Many of these troop trains are des-
tined for points as far west as San
Francisco, and the journey is very
tiresome for the soldiers. There
fore the Canteen Division workers
endeavor to keep them supplied at
all times with magazines and all
possible comforts and conveniences.
The supply of magazines has become
depleted, and hence the call is is
sued.
In calling for the literature, Red
Cross workers emphasized that only
such periodicals as will interest SOL
diers should be sent. 1--WE want no
woman's magazines. but mechanical
and popular magazines"
Magazines not older than the jan
uary issue are wanted. Those who
Wlsh TO contribute should call Red
cross headquarters, Bell 1895 and
arrahselnents Will be made for the
receipt of the magazines.
children of the city are also asked
TO make Smile Books" for the sol
diers. These mile books are made
OF cardboard by the school children
Ihe first page has an attractive pic
ture pasted on, usually the cover
OF magazine. On the inside pages
are pasted number of jokes and
several short stories, clipped from
magazines and newspapers. The
DOCKS have met with great favor
among the men.

Daily ReaIth Talks
The Best Way to Treat
Constipation
By S. C. BABCOCK, NJ. D.

The medical books name many
drugs that will move the bowels.
The drug store shelves are loaded
down with laXatives, purgatives and
pills. The trouble with most of
them is the after-effects. Consti-
pated people know that pills work
all right for a little while but they
soon lose their effect, and a change
has to be made to something else
The constant taking of pills results
in a form of bowel inactivity that
is difficult TO cure. The system be-
comes so accustomed to laxative
drugs that the organs just won't
work without them, and so the pill
habit becomes as bad as constipation
itself. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y,
seems to me to have the right idea.
He says the bowels should first be
gently moved with Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, and in the meantime laxa-
tive foods only should be eaten.
Figs, prunes, olive oil, spinach, bran,
vegetables and fruits are fine for
constipation. Chew every bite thor
oughly, eat little meat, and be as ac-
tive as possible. Now, doesn't that
seem sensible? Pleasant Pellets
will start the bowels working right:
then it is up to you to keep them
right by right eating. Try Pleasant
Pellets for sick headache, coated
tongue, biliousness, dizziness, torpid
liver or to break up a cold. They
are just fine!
DR.. Pierce's Anodyne Pile Oint-
ment soothes. cools and heals piles
in most gratifying way. Perhaps
there is no other remedy for this
torturing trouble that relieves SO
surely and quickly. DIR. Pierce be-
lieves Anodyne Pile Ointment will
overcome any case that can be over
come by medical treatment. Try it
right now.
DIR. Pierce's Anuric Tablets are
intended for people who suffer from
kidney disorders-whose backs ache.
and whose systems are over-run with
uric acid. Nearly everybody has
too much uric acid. Anuric Tab
let's dissolve uric acid quickly, as
they are made double strength.
