1 ij I iJ A MONDAY EVENING, LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED "Dear Mrs. Woodrow Will you please tell me how to stop worrying? My friends say that I am a born worrier, and I am afraid that it is true. I try my best to bo cheerful and, happy, but it doesn't fio much good. In spite of myself. I am blue and depressed and constantly fearing: that something bad is going to happoo to me or to thoso I love.

I do not want to go on this way, and I would like you to tell me if there is anything I can do to improve my spirits, for I know that this disposition to worry is growing on me. My health is good and so are my finances. Thanking you very much for any advice vou can give mo. Sincerely. In other words, my dear E.

you want to get out of the prison that you yourself have builded. Well, in the first place, don't tiink that you have some dreadful task before you, and that stone by stone and with infinite labor you will have to tear down those dreary wells in which you have enclosed yourself Instead, just quietly but firmly de termine to transform your prison into a palace, why not? All things are possible. Why are you condemning your self to imprisonment for life? Sure ly you are not superstitious enough to believe that there is some malign power in the universe which sentences you to misery. And why do you worry? Because you have ed the habit of doing so. And now it is the easiest thing fln the world for you to follow the fine of least re sistance and keep on.

SHE COULD NOT STAND OB WORK But Lydi E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Restored Her Health and Stoppd Her Pains. Portlan, Ind. "I had a displace ment anf suffered so badly from it that at times I could not be on my feet at all. I was all run down and so weak I could not do my housework, was nervous and could not lie down at night.

I took treatments from a physician but they did not help me. My aunt recommended Lydia E. Pin kham'a Vegetable Compound, I tried it and now I am strong and well asain and do my own work and give Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound the credit." Mrs. Josephine Kimble, 935 West Race Portland, Ind. Thousands of American women give this famous root and herb remedy the credit for health restored as did Mrs.

Kimble. For helpful suggestions in regard to such ailments women are asked to write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Lynn, Mass. The result of its long experience is at your service. After Baby's Bath 10,000 nurses will tell you that nothing keeps the skin so free from soreness as Sykes Comfort Powder its extraordinary healing and soothing power is noticeable on first application.

We have saved many a suit or dress or skirt for a man or woman who had actually decided to discard their old garments. After having them go our Dry Cleaning process, they were better garments than ever! We Call For and Deliver All Work Promptly l.T!f.7.J But this minute take the stand that you are going to wipe anxiety oft the slate forever, and begin to form the habit of looking on the bright side, and expecting the most delightful things to happen. Of course it is easier said than done, but anything in this world can be accomplished by persistence, when you fall down hard, don't be gin to moan and say, "I am worrying twice as much as I did before I tried not to worry." Take it lightly and admit: "I have had another awful worrying spree, but what of it? I'll make a fresh start." Quote Browning to yourself: "I hold we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake." And keep on, no matter if, like the frog in the well, you seem to fall back three inches every time you climb up two. Napoleon once wrote to his brother Henri: "I have seen with pain that you represent everything to yourself on the black side.

Take a resolution and stand by it with your whole strength." It was my sad fate to be thrown recently with a woman who views life through the darkest of blue glasses. There is no reason for it, for she has everything that most persons desire. But if the sun shines, the glare hurts her eyes. And if it rains, she is afraid she will take cold. She doesn't want to talk of anything but morbid and depressing subjects, and she uses the words "horrible," "dreadful," "awful" more times than I would like to count.

We drove through the woods, one of those lovely, soft October days when the world lies in a dream of beauty, and all she could say about it was that the Autumn always made her feel sad. It depressed her unutterably to see falling, leaf and fading tree on every side. I tried to cheer her up by pointing out the triumphant scarlets and golds of the maples, the magnificent russets of the oak leaves, the wistful blue of the sky. But she replied that her chauffeur was a very reckless driver and didn't half see, and the probabilities were that we would never get home alive. I'm glad she couldn't, read my thoughts.

I was wondering why in a world where brave men were toss ingaway their lives with light, high heroism, this perfectly trivial woman should spend all her time in attempting to preserve her quite unnecessary carcass? People always get like her when they begin to conserve, instead of spending. I am not speaking of money, but of interests and enthusiasms and sympathy and friendliness. In other words, they center their thoughts upon themselves. They are always bothering about their health, and whether they should or should not eat this or that; or they are leaping about for fear there is a draft somewhere. And they are always ailing The people who are invariably wondering if they are not going to make a mistake by following this path instead of that one, stand forever halting at the cross.

roads and never get anywhere. It is better to make a dozen mistakes than one hesitation. What are mistakes any way? Merely milestones that mark our growth. And who are we that we should. expect to strike twelve" all the time, when the wisest and greatest of the ages have frequently hit thirteen? I heard of a man who got exemption from the draft by having his wife swear that he was necessary to the support of the family, when she was receiving a good income from her father.

He died of the influenza. He gained nothing whatever, but lost immeasurably. He might have gone to France and been killed or wounded, or he might have gone through great battles without a scratch, and have returned home in safety. But in jiny event he would have retained his self respect. Instead, he yielded to his fears, unaware that by doing so he opened wide Then why worry? It gets us no his doors to a thousand other fears, where, and it is surely more pleasant and profitable to admire the silver lining, rather than silver in terror at the cloud.

Greatest Blanket Sale We Have Ever Held Will Come on Wednesday Read Detail in This Paper Tomorrow III 111 lii Mk TTH I III i1 1 ffik NY iii.ii i 1 UNDERSTAND. 1 vHV I WANTED Mly jt Y0UTO41T jrW5 I DO Wffl JOT I DOTY THAT Two Real Beat's THE Harrisburg Telegraph scored, two real news, beats of an important character Saturday and yesterday. The Telegraph gave to the people of Harrisburg Saturday afternoon iirst news of the abdication of the Kaiser. Xot only that hut it had the news so early that thousands of people in nearby towns were given it in their regular editions. It was 011 the street first and had sold hundreds of copies before any other newspaper carrying the news had appeared, livery' reader of the Telegraph in Harrisburg had not the news but the olliclal confirmation in the form of a proclamation issued by Prince Max.

It was hours before this proclamation was printed by any other local newspaper. Yesterday in a special war extra the Telegraph published the first news of the tremendous turnover in Germany, with Berlin falling to the revolutionists, the Crown Prince's palace raided, the arrest of Bertha Krupp, the surrender to the Socialists of the great Essen munition works and much other news of a sensational nature. This was the first extra ever published by a Harrisburg newspaper 011 a Sunday and it contained news of such vital importance' that Mayor Keister gave special permission to the boys to ery it. These beats were made possible by the fact that the Telegraph is the only evening Associated Press newspaper in Central Pennsylvania, The Associated Press is first with the news. The Telegraph carries all its dis.

patches. DRUG1STS STILL 1 1 not Influenza Epidemic is Decreasing in Most Sections and The Demand is Slackening But We Are Still 18,000 Gross Behind On Orders and it Will Take Some Time to Catch Up. THREE MILLION JARS SHIPPED DURING OCTOBER On Monday, October 21, we addressed an advertisement to the wholesale and retail drug trade, advising that we were badly oversold, due to the influenza epidemic, stating that all deals and quantity shipments were postponed, and requesting that Vapottub be purchased in small lots only. This condition still prevails. At this writing we have back orders for eighteen thousand (18,000) gross and our orders each day are double our daily output.

The epidemic, however, is decreasing in most sections, the demand is slakening and we arc working night and day to catch up. In the meantime, we ask the trade to be patient with us. EXORMOVS SHIPMENTS HAVE WIPED OUT EXCESS STOCKS On October 1st we had on hand a the factory and in twenty ware houses over the country a tremend ous stock of VapoRub, accumulated during the summer months. This is, now gone we actually shipped during the month of October over three million jars of VapoRub. We are speeding up our factory as much as possible and the problem now.

is to distribute the factory's output as quickly as possible. We have, there fore, for the time being, abandoned freight shipments and are shipping either by Parcel Post or express trying to give each Jobber at least a little stock. IMMEDIATE SHIPMENTS TO DRUGGISTS IX INFLUENZA DISTRICTS Preference is being given to those sections stricken by influenza. In order to reach these sections as quickly as can be, we are, during this emergency, making shipments by Parcel Post, to retail trade, of not more than three (3) dozen 30c size in any one shipment. We prefer that the Jobber order these shipments for their trade, but to save time we will, if the need is urgent, ship direct on receipt of a check or money order.

Naturally, no new accounts can be opened dur ing this rush. SAMPLES AND INFTXENZA BOOKLETS FREE ON REQUEST we havo prepared a little folder giving all the informatioin available 00 far on Spanish Infulensa its origin the symtoms and the treatment, and those will forwarded to dr.Egists on request. We will By ITcManu STOCKS NEEDED to reorganize: classes Reorganization of all classes in ele mentary hygiene will be effected at a meeting or the members to te. held, at the Civic Club, Thursdny. The meeting wil be held in the.

evening at 8 o'clock. It is requested by the committee in charge that nit who wish to enroll in any or the classes snouia present themselves for rcgis'jation at this meeting. InfluenzaGerms Smoked Out Tobaccoless CIGARETTES A sensible way of relieving Grippe, Influenza, Colds, Catarrh, Hay Fever, Sore Throat and all other ailments that require direct and immediate application In order to get instant relief. The medicated smoke disinfects the air passages that cannot be reached any other way. It eliminates the annoyance of dosing the system with drugs that upset the stomach.

At all the box. FOR CORNS 1 BUNIONS CALLUSES G0RGAS DRUG STORES also be glad to mail to any Individual one of these booklets, together with a quarter ounce sample, free. HOW TO USE VAPORUB IN TREATING SPANISH INFLUENZA In every case call a physician VapoRub should be used only in connection with the physician's Internal treatment. Apply hot, wet cloths over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Dry lightly and rub VapoRub well in until the skin is red spread on thickly and cover with hot flannel cloths.

Leave the bed covering loose around the neck, as the body heat releases the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the inflluenza germs. In case of head or chest cold, which often accompanies Influenza, the vapors tend to keep the air passages open, loosen the phlegm and make the breathing easier. In addition, VapoRub is ab orbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface and thus aids' in relieving the congestion within. HOW TO USE VICK'S VAPORUB AS A PREVENTATIVE It is questionable if there is any thing which will prevent Spanish Influenza, except avoiding those persons who are spreading the disease by coughing, sneezing and spitting, and by keeping up the bodily resistance by plenty of good food and exercise in the open air.

The Public Health Service recommends that the nasal passages be coated with a weak solution of Menthol in liquid petroleum as a protective. For this purpose VapoRub is excellent. Just put a small portion up each nostril from time to time during the day and snuff well back info the head. KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY INHALING VAPORUB1 Colds irritate the lining of the air passages and thus render them, a much better breeding place for, germs. At the first sign of a cold use VapoRub at once.

Melt a little in a spoon and inhale the vapors arising, or VapoRub can be used. a regular benzoin steam kettle, such as most druggists carry in Btock; mis is not available, a very good substitute to use is an ordinary tea kettle. Fill half full of boiling water in a half a teaspoon ot Yapo Rub from time to time keep the kettle Just slowly boiling and lnhala the steam arising.
