OY DIES FROM INFANT MALADY Tenth Case of Paralysis in Franklin County Proves Fatal to Elmer Rock Chambhurg, Aug. 26. The tenth case of infantile paralysis in Franklin county within a fortnight resulted In the third fatality and is all the more alarming because the victim was a lad of 1 4 years, a strong healthy boy. He was Elmer Rock, son of John Rock, wh lives on the Carl farm near Greencastle, and had been helping his father plow on the farm. He became ill and seemed partially paralyzed while at work on Wednesday, he was helped to the house and grew worse and on Thursday died.

It was thought at first he had injured his spine. Health Officer But YoU vMust Drive It Out of Your Blood to Get Rid of It Permanently. You have probably been in the habit of applying external treatments, trying to cure your Catarrh. You have used sprays, washes and lotions and possibly been temporarily relieved. But after a short time you had another attack and wondered why.

You must realize that catarrh is an infection of the blood and to get permanent relief the catarrh infection must be driven out of the blood. The quicker you come to understand this, the quicker you will get it out of your system. S. S. which has MONDAY EVENING, Sal SaysJPiysician (90 Sonisk Qour Siomacfi troubles Warns against starvation diets and strong drugs, which may weaken the stomach and thereby do far more harm than good.

Says "Food Cure" is only true way to overcome indigestion, gas, souring of food, etc. A HIGHLY irritated acid stomach is Za a good deal like an open sore on your hand. If you keep rubbing it and irritating it, it may never get well, but let it alone and nature will soon make the cure. Every time your food sours and ferments, causing poisonous gases and acids, it further irritates the stomach walls, just like rubbing an old sore, consequently you go on having indigestion because your stomach never has a chance to get well. Starvation diets weaken the system, this in turn weakens the stomach and aggravates your stomach troubles.

What a dyspeptic needs, in my opinion, is food, good food, plenty to eat, but of the right kind. A dish of milk toast may, on account of its bad combination of starch with caesin, cause ten times as much disturbance in a super acid stomach as a piece of roast beef; and the highly recommended soft boiled eggs may, on account of the large quantity of fat in the yolks, cause serious indigestion, gas, while cold white meat of chicken, thoroughly masticated, will digest in the same stomach without difficulty. Stomach sufferers often suffer from an irritable temper, nervousness, dizziness, gas, about two or three hours after eating, due to the irritation of the stomach walls by the accumulation of excess acid in the stomach after the food, or most of it, has passed out. In such cases the very best remedy, in my opinion, is food, more food, but of the right kind. Try eating some cold white meat of chicken (thoroughly masticated) with a little hard toast at 4 p.m., and before going to bed, or.

drink some milk mixed with water and see how this takes up the excess acid and keeps it from irritating your stomach. But don't take milk and chicken both. If you do you may get into trouble. Never take milk or ice cream with meat or acid freits if your stomach is weak and don't take coffee with a meal, and better not at ail. Take weak tea made by yourself by pouring hot water on dry tea and at once pouring it off.

Don't let it stand. If you do it will extract tannic acid, and this is very bad for the stomach.

PREACHES AT MECHAXICSBtTRG Aug. 26. The Rev. William Moses, of the Vine Street M. E.

The Rev. Mr. Moses was pastor here about twelve years ago, and succeeded the Rev. Mr. Pyles of the Fifth Street Church, Harrisburg.

Maines, of Harrisburg, will preach next Sunday morning at the usual hour. hard toast (no fresh bread), stewed fruits, green vegetables, baked or mashed potatoes. If you want ice cream take it between meala with hot tea, never with a meal. Once your stomach gets well you can eat most anything and it will digest, but until it gets well (until the sore has a chance to heal) be careful of the chemical combinations of foods. Remember the most important thing is to avoid irritating your stomach.

Keep from rubbing the sore until it gets well.) If at any time you should notice an excess of acid or should suffer from gas, dizziness, souring, or belching of food, take from two to six tablets of Pepsinated Panzen to help your blood neutralize the excess acid and give increased strength to the pneumogastric or big stomach nerve so as to give your stomach more power to digest food. Pepsinated Panzen is not a secret remedy and contains no strong drugs. It is a strictly high class ethical product. The composition of its formula is givea below so that you may ask your own doctor or druggist about it if you wish. Pepsin Saccharatum, Magnesie Calcinee, Nat ricum Bicarbonat, Menthe Poivree, Clous Aromatique, and Oxalate de Cerium.

Pepsinated Panzen should be kept constantly in the house by every acid stomach sufferer and used at the very first warning symptoms such as drowsiness after eating, a full heavy sensation in the stomach, gas, or distress of any kind. It should be taken with milk or ice cream to help break up the curds. Pepsinated Panzen is recommended, however, only to help your blood neutralize the excess acid in your stomach and give your stomach increased power to digest food; the real and true cure must be looked for in what you eat and how you eat, rather than in drugs or starvation diets. Always be sure to eat slowly and masticate your food thoroughly. Further information on proper combinations of foods will be given in articles which are to follow this.

MUST TAKE HATS OFF TO YANKS Former Harrisburg Youth Tells of American Fighting Spirit "The world must take its hat off to the Yankee," writes Sergeant George Krause Erb, a former Bell Telephone employe in this city. "He sure is one of the bravest when it comes to fighting, as Fritz is willing to testify," he adds.

Sergeant Erb is now serving with Company 406th Telegraph Battalion, United States Signal Corps, recruited entirely from employes of the Bell Telephone Company. He received his training at New Jersey and was among the first troops to reach France, arriving there last August Sergeant Erb lived at the Maple Grove Hotel, Sixth and Maclay streets while in Harrisburg. His home is at Lebanon. He is having an interesting time in France. Several of his recent letters are appended.

Extract from letter July 30: "I never for a moment thought I would have the opportunity to witness the sights I have in the past few weeks. As you have no doubt read in the papers, we have the Hun on the run, and I sincerely hope that we run mm to death. I have had the opportunity to follaw pretty close in the wake of the departing Hun. Some of the towns I have been in a few hours after Fritz departed. Another time I.

nad tne opportunity to watcn our Doys take a town from the enemy. I wish I could describe to you the things one sees as he follows the retreating Hun. I have seen whole towns utterly demolished and not a single house left standing. In fact, the ruins hardly resembled houses at all, but looked as if some gigantic cart had deposited a number of piles of stone and rubbish. Woods utterly shot to pieces with only the bare and scarred stumps of trees left standing.

Everywhere one sees evidence of the enemy's hasty retreat. Ammunition of all kinds, hand grenades, all sorts of German clothing, boots and equipment are scattered everywhere. Talk about German helmets, they are about the commonest thing one sees these days, and I only wish I could send several home to you. but it is not possible since an order forbids it. The fields and roads are dotted with shell holes and the craters of airplane bombs, while some of the fields look as if the ground had been churned with a great paddle, but the papers and magazines can tell you about these things better than I can.

Believe me, I wouldn't miss this for any amount of money, and let me state that the world must take off its hat to the Yankee, for he sure is one of the bravest when it comes to fighting, as Fritz is quite willing to testify." Extract from letter July 21: "No doubt about this time all you people over there are as elated and excited as we are, over the happenings of the past few days. Everybody is treadiner on air, for at last we are showing the Kaiser that the American Army, instead of being a myth, is the real thing indeed, and oh what a pleasure it is to hand it to him in a real two fisted way. I can't begin to tell you how brave our boys have been and what they have done. Everybody is working as hard and as fast as they can and nobody seems to care how hard or how long they work. A bunch of us just quit hauling ammunition and supplies.

We hauled for two days and nights without a wink of sleep and very little to eat. but no one minded it. and we all were delighted as long as we could peddle a little hardware for the batteries to hand Fritz. No doubt we would be still driving if they hadn't decided to give us a little rest. Oh, it is wonderful.

It is just like a big hunt, and you drive, drive, drive and as each "victory becomes known you grin, and looking ever ahead, push on to the next goal. We can't be stopped! "I have had my share of shell fire and air raids lately, but have become quite used to them now.

Dr. Robert Bagnell Writes to Grace M. E. Congregation From France A letter from Dr. Robert Bagnell, now in France, was read to the Grace Methodisi Congregation, of which he is pastor, at yesterday's service.

The letter with its interesting facts of the country and the boys in khaki, says: "Somewhere in France," "August 1, 1918. "Dear Grace Friends: "I am now closing my third week in the lecture tour through the American camps. "I have seen many thousands of our American boys and have talked to many great crowds of them. Have also had the privilege of talking personally with hundreds of them. "They are splendid, clean cut, full of life and what the boys call "ginger and pep" and are making a great impression upon the French people.

Of course, we are all proud of what they are doing at the front but this Just what we expect. Our boys are subject to a great deal more temptation here than in the camps at home, though not any more than in civil life. Some of them drink, but I am sure a smaller per cent than in civil life, and out of the many thousands I have Keen but four or five hove been under the influence of liquor. I am sure too that the standard of morality is above that of the same men in oivil life. "Captain William Calder is in this camp and I had a fine visit with him to day.

What a fine, clean, splendid chap he is! I have had word from several other boys from Harrisburg and are from the church I hope to see before I leave France. "I hava traveled about twelve to fourteen hundred miles in France. The country is beautiful beyond description. The harvest is very goo.l and is now ripe. The old men, boys and women are all working in the fields and everywhere are found the evidence of thrift There are few fences here and individual ownership is often confined to a strip of land 50 or 100 feetfcwide by 50 to 200 yards long.

These strips will be sown or planted with different grains or vegetables and the effect is very artistic. I travel a great deal from point to point in automobiles of various kinds and so have good chance to see the country. "I am to leave this place where I am now located next Monday, to go to anotner important center for a week and then back to Paris on Au gust 12. From there I go over to Britain for a couple of weeks' speaking tour of the Allied camps then before my return. "I am located now in one of th most beavttiful spots in France.

Am living altogether with the troops, and I assure you I have much the best, meals I have had since I left home. "I am always thinking of you ami praying for you. It will be a good day when am able to occupy my own pulpit again. And I trust I may return much better fitted to serve the great cause of the nation and to render you a better service than before It is such a comfort to me to know that you are thinking of me and praying for me. I am sure you.

like me, are praying constantly for our boys. I am sure much of the superb quality they possess is the result cf the prayers at home: "This wiil probably be read to you on either the 18th or 25th of August. It will not be long from that time until God willing I shall be with you. Until then, God bless and keep you all." A. O.
