FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 4, 1914
wood railed a meeting of the ways
and means committee to perfect an
internal revenue measure tentatively
drafted In preliminary conferences.
A bill will be introduced as soon as
possible.
The President's Speech
Following is the full text of Pres
ident Wilson's address to Congress:
"I come to you to-day to discharge
a duty which I wish with all my heart
I might have been spared; but it is a
duty which is very clear, and. there
fore, I perform it without hesitation
or apology. 1 come to ask very earn
estly that additional revenue be pro
vided for the government.
"During the month of August there
was, as companC with the correspond
ing month of last year, a falling off
of $ 10,«529,ri38 in the revenues collect
ed from customs. A continuation of
this decrease in the same proportion
throughout the current fiscal year
would probably mean a loss of cus
toms revenues of from sixty to one
hundred millions. I need not tell you
to what this falling off is due. It is
due, in chief part, not to the reductions
recently made in the customs duties,
but to the great decrease in importa
tions: and that is due to the extraor
dinary extent of the industrial area
affected by the present war in Eu
rope. Conditions have arisen which
no man foresaw; they affect the whole
world of commerce and economic pro
duction, and they must be faced and
dealt with.
Treasury is Sound
"It would be very unwise to post-
pone dealing with them. Delay in
such a matter and in the particular
circumstances in which we now find
ourselves as a nation might involve
consequences of the most embarrass
ing and deplorable sort, for which I,
for one, would not care to be respons
ible. It would be very dangerous in
the present circumstances to create a
moment s doubt as to the strength and
sufficiency of the treasury of the
I nited States, its ability to assist, to
steady and sustain the financial opera
tions of the country's business. If the
treasury is known, or even thought,
to be weak, where will be our peace of
mind? The whole industrial activity
of the country would be chilled and
demoralized. Just now the peculiarly
difficult financial problems of the mo
r.. Nt are being successfully dealt with,
with great self-popssession and good
sense and very sound judgment; but
they are only in process of being
worked out. If the process of solu
tion is to be completed, no one must
be given reason to doubt the solidity
and adequacy of the treasurv of the
government which stands behind the
whole method by which our difficul
ties are being met and handled.
Treasurj Could Get Along
The treasury itself could get along
for a considerable period, no doubt,
without immediate resort to new
sources of taxation. But at what cost
to the business of the community?
Approximately $75,000,000. a large
part of the present treasury balance,
is now on deposit with national banks
distributed throughout the country.
It. is deposited, of course, on call I
need not point out to you what the
probable consequences of inconveni
ence and distress and confusion would
Ibe if the diminishing income of the
t treasury should make t necessary
I rapidly to withdraw these deposits.
| And yet without additional revenue
■ that plainly m:ght become necessary,
|and the time when it became neces
i sary could not be controlled or deter-
Imined by the convenience of the busi
ness of the country. It would have
jto be determined by the operations
(and necessities of the treasury itself.
•Such risks are not necessary and ought
; not to be run. We can not too scru
pulously or carefully safeguard a fi
i nancial situation which is at best,
'while war continues in Europe, diffi
cult and abnormal. Hesitation and de
| lay are the worst forms of bad policy
j under such conditions.
Ought Not to Borrow
I "And we ought not ,o borrow. We
ought to restore to taxation, however
we may regret the necessity of putting
additional temporary burdons on our
people. To sell bonds would be to
make a most untimely and unjustifi
able demand on the money market;
untimely, because this is manifestly
not the time to withdraw working

ANTHRACITE COIL
! PRODUCED IN AUGUST
Total Tonnage Shows a Slight In
crease Over That of
One Year Ago
The production of anthracite coal
in August was slightly larger than
that of August a year ago. Most of
♦he large producing companies report
a normal tonnage, but two ef them
j were ahead of last year's record, and
1 the orders from Canada are reported
I coming in earlier, though not in
I greater volume, than last year. Au-
I gust shipmejits will approximate
i 5,400.000 tons
The labor situation continues quiet
and some of the operators are inclined
to attribute this to the lasting bene
ficial results of Billy Sunday's cam
paign in the anthracite coal regions
last winter. They tell of prayer meet
ings in the machine shops at noon and
of cottage me.etings at night and state
that the saloon in many districts is
neglected for these.
An interesting development is the
shipment by the Lehigh and Wilkes-
Barre Coal Company of 1.000 tons of
egg coal to San Francisco through the
Panama canal. This is the first ship
ment of anthracite by this route. An
thracite has been shipped to San Fran
cisco bv bont in small quantities as
ballast around the Horn, but this, was
a matter of months. It is estimated
that it will take the Lehigh and
Wilkes-Barre shipment thirty days to
reach its destinaion
No exodus of reservists of the war
ring and interested nations is reported,
although many of the mine workers
are natives of them. Russians, inlud
ing Poles. Lithuanians and Slavonians,
predominate and next tome Italians,
Irish. Austrians and V .Hungarians.
Welshmen. Germans and Englishmen
in the foregoing order. j
I'nlfornis for Rending Men—The
Rending Railway Company awarded
the contract for the making of the
winter uniforms for the employes to
the Snellenbcrg firm, of Philadelphia.
Reading employes running into the
Philadelphia terminal will meet the
inspector of uniforms there from Sep
tember 14 to 19. The uniform special
will leave Philadelphia on the 21st
with the inspector and the tailor and
will come to Harrisburg during the
week of September 21.
Steel Bn«sage Cars.—The first of
the six new steel baggage or express
cars to be built by the Reading Rail
way Company at its shops in Reading i
was turned out on Wednesday and !
has ben assigned to trains Nos. 1 and
6 It will be used by the American
Express Company. It is No. 1671. The
int Tior is equipped with everv con
venience for the messengers. The car
comes to Harrisburg every other day.
CLERKS FIGURING
PROPOSED FARE RAISE
Rate clerks of the Pennsylvania J
Railroad are busy figuring out new
passenger tariffs to be filed October 1
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the State Commission.
The general basis of the proposed
higher rates will he 2'4 cents per
mile. In effect, the present one-way
fare will be applied to round-trip
rates, so that 2U cents will be the
minimum except as to commutation
rates not being changed this time and
mileage tickets, which are to go on a
2Vi cent basis.
This Fall the Pennsylvania Rail
road plans to make only one time
table change. It is intended to give
it effect September 1.".. The various
l extra summer trains to seashore
• points will be discontinued and the
schedules rearranged.
It is stated that the long-distance
through trains will continue as now
and that very few and not important
changes will be made in local subur
ban service.
TO ABANDON RAILROAD
Special to The Telegraph
Gettysburg, Pa., Sept. 4.—Operation
of the East Berlin Railroad will be
discontinued September 8 by the
owner. William G. Leas, and it will be
"sold for junk" unless a bidder for the
whole concern comes forward in the
meantime. The road, which was orig
inally known *as the East Berlin
branch, runs from East Berlin through
Abbottstown to Berlin Junction, where
it connects with the Western Mary
land. Abandonment of the railroad
will cut off Abbottstown and East
Berlin, two of the largest towns in

HOW I MADE "
111 HAIR GROW
Woman With Mnrvelouslj- Beautiful
Hair Gives Simple Home Prescrip
tion Which She I'sed With
Most Remarkable Results
I was greatly troubled with dandruff
and falling hair. I tried many adver
tised hair preoarations and various pre
scriptions, but they all signally failed;
many of them made my hair greasy so
it was Impossible to comb it or do it up
properly. 1 think that many of the
things I tried were positively injurious
and from mv own experience 1 cannot
too stronly caution you against using
preparations containing wood alcohol
and other poisonous substances I be
lieve they injure the roots of the hair.
After mv long list of failures, I finally
found a simple prescription which I
can unhesitatingly state is beyond
doubt the most x'onderful thing for the
hair I have ever seen. Many of my
friends have also used It., and obtained
wonderful effects therefrom. It not
only is a powerful stimulant to the
growth of the hair and for restoring
gray hair to its natural color, but it is
equallv good for removing dandruff,
giving the hair life and brilliancy, etc.,
and for the purpose of keeping the
scalr In first-class condition. It also
makes the hair easier to comb and ar
range in nice form. I have a friend
who used it two months and during
that time It has not only stopped the
falling of his hair and wonderfully in
creased its growth, but it practically
restored all of his hair to its natural
color You ran obtain the Ingredients
for making thlß wonderful preparation
from almost any druggist. The pre
scription is as follows:
Bav Rum. 6 oz.; Menthol Crystals, '
drachm. I,avona de Composee, 2 oz. If
you like it perfumed add 1 drachm of
your favorite perfume. This, however,
is not necessary. Apply night and
morning: rub thoroiiKhly Into the
scalp.—Advertisement.
