The testimony which has lately been published in respect to its curative powers in con sumption is certainly very striking." He does not refer to testimony regarding Eckman's Alterative, since the medical profession never publicly recommends proprietary remedies. However, many cases of consumption seem to have yielded to this remedy. This success may be due largely to the fact that in Eckman's Alterative a calcium (lime) salt is so combined with other valuable ingredients as to be easily assimilated by the average person. It contains neither opiates, narcotics nor habit forming drugs, so Is safe. At your druggist or direct.

AUGUST 11, 1915. OTBfai Trn MiDDLerown could hear cop's SNORES ACROSS CIA So Witnesses Swear in Telling of Jones' Alleged Drunkenes at Hearing Decision as to what action the Police Committee will recommend that Steel ton's council take on Councilman Fred Wagenbach's charges against Patrol man Jones was reserved following last evening public hearing. The commit tee will investigate further before drawing up its recommendation. Officer Jones appeared at last eve ning's meeting with an attorney. A number of his friends paPked the rear of the council chamber and gave the session some of the appearances of a political rally.

This impression was strengthened by the presence of so many candidates. Councilman Benja min Capella, Committeeman Albert Sellers and Squire T. V. Gardner, three candidates for Justice of the Peace were present and Joseph Gore, a can didate for High Constable held down a chair in the rear of the room. Hear Cop's Snores Across Canal The charges against Air.

Jones con sisted of two affidavits presented to council by Mr. Wagenbach at Mon days meeting. These documents were signed by Benjamin F. Lipp, a special officer for the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and Steve Pop, watch man at No. 6 watchbox at the Steel Works, and assert that on last Friday night, or rather early Saturday morning, Patrolman Jones was seen by them in a visibly intoxicated con dition.

He staggered across the Mer chant Mill bridge, the affidavits say. stretched himself out on a porch and slept. Lights from an automobile, the deponents declare, showed him laying with arms extended and coat open. His snores the documents say, could be heard across the canal, a distance of about 125 feet. Both Lipp and Pop substantiated their affidavits.

In response to questions from Chairman Nelley and Attorney Wickersham who represented Jones, Lipp declared that he made the affidavits at the request of Mr. Wagenbach who came to him and asked what he knew about the case. Burgess Has no Hand In It The name of Burgess Fred Wigfield who at a former time suspended Jones and recommended his dismissal, was then brought into the case by both Chairman Nelley and Jones' attorney who sharply questioned Lipp as to whether or not he made the affidavit at the Instigation of the burgess. To all these questions Lipp replied that he held absolutely no conversation with Wigfield and had not seen him since the latest Jones' incident. He said he had attempted to get him cn the telephone the nignt he declared Jones was drunk.

"Well, why did you try to report to the burgess instead or your own superior officer," sharply queried Chairman Nelley after whispering with Mr. Sellers. "Because we have been friends for twenty years and because I thought the burgess should see the condition of his officer," soberly replied Lipp as he looked the police committee chairman straight in the eye. "As a taxpayer and citizen," continued Officer Lipp in reply to a query by Councilman Relsch, "I thought It my duty to inform Burgess Wigfield Of the conduct of his officers." Try to Break Down Stories The testimony of Lipp was sub stantiated by Mr. Pop, who Is a cripple and walks with a cane.

Both men held steadfastly to their stories although Jones' attorney made repeated efforts to break them down. When Patrolman Jones was permitted to make his defense he charged that there was evidently a "rrame up" against him. He protested his entire Innocence of the charges and ex plained that his failure to report be tween 1 and 4 o'clock that night was due to severe cramps In the stomach "This testimony of Mr. Lipp and Steve Pop," declared the officer, "is absolutely wrong." Besides his flat denial of the charges against him. Patrolman Jones offered to prove his innocence by showing he was sober at a quarter of eleven Friday night.

To do this his attorney called a number of witnesses who testified that they were together at the garage of E. G. Irvln, a whole sale liquor dealer at that hour. Joseph Gore, 129 Adams street, a former detective, swore he spoke to Jones about 1 o'clock when the officer went home for lunch. "He was sober then," Gore declared.

Patrolman James Pearson also saw Jones on his lunch hour, he said. He, too, declared he was sober. The witnesses at the Irvin garage Included E. G. Irvin, Charles L.

Soul lard, a painter, and Lawrence Cham bers, the man who was in the recent automobile accident at Dauphin, where Harry Erbe lost his life. Most of these witnesses swore Jones came to the garage and asked for Mr. Irvin and held a long conversation with him. STEELTOX PERSONALS Mrs. Fulmer Chapman has gone to York to visit Dr.

Must Check All Baggage Through to Destination Special to The Telegraph Washington, D. Aug.

11. The Interstate Commerce Commission in a decision yesterday affecting a great volume of passenger traffic, particularly from the East and North Central States to the South, abrogated the proposed rules of railroads which would have prohibited the through checking of baggage and sale of through parlor or sleeping car tickets on combination tickets used in connection with joint fures from junction points. For years travelers from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other trunk line territory going to points in the South and Southeast have checked baggage through to destination and have secured through Pullman car accommodations on combinations of tickets good only to and from the gateways to southern and southeastern territory. The Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio Railroads proposed to abolish the practice, for protection to their Jolint fares to conserve their revenues. The commission held that no railroad receiving the equivalent of its full local fare to the junction, whatever the character of transportation accepted by the connecting line, may lawfully withhold provision for Incidental services universally in demand.

Commissioner Harlan dissented from this opinion, saying the majority action permits evasions of the through fare. Million Dollar Order From B. and 0. Officials Special to The Telegraph Baltimore, Aug. 11.
