How to Eradicate
All Superfluous Hair
Advise by a Skin Specialist
A» soon an women of to-day learn
that permanent removal of ugly, repul
sive hair growths can only be gained
by reaching the hair root and not by
using common, worthless depilatories
■uch a« burning pastes, powders, evil
smelling liquids, etc.. the better It will
be for their happiness and safety. Nor
can the electric needle be depended up
on to give absolutely perfect results
without danger of horible scars or
facial paralysis. The best means I have
ever found that never falls to remove
all signs of disfiguring growths of hair
on the face, neck, arms or hands, is a
•Imple. inexpensive preparation called
Sirs. Osgood's Wonder. It is absolutely
Jiarmless, cannot injure the skin or
complexion and in a surprisingly large
feumber of cases has succeeded in kill
ing the hair down to the very roots,
Source of all growth. When the roots
are killed no more hair can grow. You
can get Mrs. Osgood's Wonder from
Kennedy's Medicine tore or any up-to
date druggist or department store, on
the guarantee of your money back if it
fails. Signed guarantee with every
package. There is no longer need for
anv woman to suffer the embarrass
ment of this humiliating blemish. Let
me caution you. however, not to apply
this treatment except where total de
struction of hair is desired.—Advertise

other splendid view of the .veteran
fiagbearers as they approach the
Capitol. The impression Is so life
like that it is hard to Imagine that
one is not actually viewing the scenes
as they occurred. The wavering line,
the tottering steps, the feeble effort
to effect the springy step of youth,
the standards beneath the folds of
which men died and others performed
deeds of t.T. told heroism—all are here.
For the last time the veterans are
trouping the colors, for the last time
the "Hags go by" in the hands of the
gallant soldiers who carried them
through scenes of carnage to victory
fifty years ago.
It is a sight to bring a lump to the
throat and a tear to the eye. It will
never be repeated, save through the
instrumentality of the wonderful mov
ing picture machine, and nobody who
can see it should miss it.
The Telegraph Pictorial has caught
the very spirt of the occasion and in a
form that will be preserved for the
citizens of a hundreds years and more
to come, thift they may know the
manner of men who saved the Union,
and who, a half-century later, were
still In full enough vigor to rally once
more at the call of the colors. By no
1 means miss this wonderful picture.
After its use here the film will be
sent to San Francisco to be a part of
the State's exhibit at the Panama Ex
position. Theater managers who want
the use of the pictures for exhibition
purposes next week should address
i the Telegraph Pictorial Department,
Telegraph Building, Harrisburg, Pa.

is In jeopardy from fire in tlie
prfsont hazardous housing of the
headquarters equipment. Tlie ques
tion of Its removal depends upon
tlie building of a fireproof city
hall and courthouse."
Mr. Hoyt in discussing the situation
in this city with a Telegraph reporter
said:
Pity iu (.rave Danger
"Harrisburg is in danger at all times
of losing thousands of dollars by lire
in case its fire alarm system is thrown
out of service. And according to Mr.
Diehl a tire In the present quarters in
the old Board of Trade building is
likely to occur at any time. This
would put the alarm system out of
commission for at least several weeks.
If. during the period that the system
was out of commission, a fire should
occur In any part of .the city, a vast
amount of property might be burned
before the firemen could locate the
blaze."
The report of Chairman Hoyt in full
is as follows:
"This city was visited by Engineer
J. H. Howland, May 12 to 14. 1914,
for the purpose of discussing with city
officials and interested citizens the find
ings in our report of December, 1913,
and of advocating the adoption of the
recommendations, especially those con
sidered most urgent.
Work to Bo Done
"The water department intends to
have all services metered in another
two years. Of the mains given in the
1914 report as contemplated, none has
been laid, but the 12 and 16 inch in
Front and Market streets and a 12-inch
line in Nineteenth and Sycamore
streets are authorized for installation
in 1914. The further strengthening
ot the distribution system along the
lines recommended will be considered
as soon as the necessary funds can be
provided. Slightly improved protec
tion is contemplated for the pumping
station. It was stated that the prac
tice of opening closed valves on con
nections to force mains for all second
alarm fires would be considered and
adopted if considered feasible.
"The sentiment of those interviewed
was favorable to the installation of a
ful! paid fire department, although no
action has thus far been taken on this
recommendation. A bond issue of
$25,000 has been authorized for pur
chasing four automobile chemical and
hose wagons and two tractors, two or
three pieces of which are to be pur
chased this summer. Ground has been
purchased and the erection of a new
fire station at Derry and Twenty-first
streets is planned this year. An'auto
mobile tractor for the large aerial lad
der and the establishing of a drill
school are improvements advocated by
the commissioner and the chief.
Need of City Hall
"The superintendent of fire alarm
appreciates that the system is in
jeopardy from fire in the present haz
ardous housing of the headquarters
equipment: the question of its removal
depends upon the building of a fire
proof city hall and courthouse. A new
10-circuit repeater was installed in
April. 1914, and appropriations were
stated to have been made for the re
maining recommendations for head- I
quarters equipment, as well as for the
gong circuits and rearrangement of
house instruments recommended. The
installation of a department telephone
switchboard is being considered. A
few new boxes are about to be in
stalled, but these are not of the suc
cessive type as recommended. A lib
eral extension of the underground sys
tem. with red lights and posts along
Market street, and the standardization
of wiring in fire stations are improve
ments contemplated for the present
year.
"It was stated that the council was
considering the drafting of a modern
building cocfce, including provisions for
extending the fire limits, which they
hoped to have adopted by another
year. Regulations covering explosives
and inflammables, together with the
adoption of the national electrical
code, were matters that were ad
mittedly essential and it was stated
would receive consideration at an
early date.
Co-operation' Sought
"The co-operation and support of
the Mayor, members of the Counci.l
and heads of departments, president
and secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce. one of the leading newspapers
and others were solicited through per
sonal Interviews. The following rec
ommendations were particularly urged:
Placing the fire department o;i a full
paid basis and establishing a drill
school, removing the fire alarm head
quarters equipment to a fireproof
building and the adoption by ordi
nance, of a modern building code."
The report is signed by the follow
ing committee on fire prevention: Geo.
W. Hoyt, of New York, chairman;
Edw. Mllllgan, J. A. Kelsev, C. A.
Ludlum. R. D. Harvey, H. A. Smith,

DR. THOMAS G. FOX
Special to The Telegraph
Huminelstown, Pa., Juno 19-—Dr.
Thomas G. Fox, widely- known
throughout Pennsylvania as a physi
cian, died at his home here yesterday
afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. Death was
caused by a stroke of paralysis. He
lived here all his life. He was horn
here July 19, 1827 and was the young
est of five sons of George and Eliza
beth Fox. His brothers were notable
men. They were Richard, John E.,
James and Abner. He had no sisters.
His ancestors were English, German
and Dutch who came to this country
about 1750. His grandfather, John
i FoX, who belonged to the Society of
Friends, emigrated from Devonshire,
England, to Germantown, and moved
from the latter place to Derry town
ship, where the family have been large
landowners ever since, and the sub
ject of agriculture was always a de
light to the deceased. The deceased
when a boy was taken from the local
school and as an apprentice learned
printing under the tutelage of Thco
philus Fetin. a former proprietor of
the Telegraph, whose kindnesses to
the youth were dear to his memory
throughout his whole life. From the
Telegraph he went to Philadelphia
and filled a clerkship in the Exchange
Bank in which his brother, John E.
Fox, was largely interested. While
thus employed ~e also took up the
study of medicine and was graduated
with honors in the class of 1852 and
at the time of his death, it is said, was
its oldest living alumnus. At the time
of his graduation his father, being an
invalid, he returned to his home in
Hummelstown, then Derry township,
to care for him and there began the
general practice of medicine.
Had Big Practice
In 1853 he was married to Diana
Hershey, daughter of Henry and
Nancy Hershey, of Derry township.
He always enjoyed a large general
practice and long before its general
adoption in this country he, with the
late Dr. Jacob Shope, of Hummels
town, were treating tubercular pa
tients with the fresh air treatment and
egg and milk diet. To the date of his
death he continued a keen interest
in the advance of his profession, par
ticularly surgery, although he ceased
the practice of medicine In 1873, when
he became prothonotary of Dauphin
county. He was in this office until
1879, when he suggested as his suc
cessor his young and efficient clerk,
the late Ehrman B. Mitchell, who
was elected to succeed him.
From Old Whig Family
Dr. Fox was from a family of Whigs,
his uncle, John Philips, as such rep
resented this district in Congress in
the early part of the last century and
his uncle, John Fox, a sterling Whig,
was one of the most potent factors
in the county's affairs, and when the
Republican party was formed the de
ceased was one of its most zealous
members and as such was elected a
member of the House of Representa
tives in the general assembly in 1861
and 1862. He was a close political
friend of the Camerons. From his
early manhood to the time of his death
he took a keen interest in civic and
public affairs and gave as his opinion
that a man who takes no part or inter
est in the affairs of government, local,
State and national, was one of our
worst types of citizen. He was not
ambitious to hold high position and
declined nominations from the party
to the State Senate and Congress.
Siiakcs|>eariaii Scholar
Dr. Fox was of a literary turn of
mind and was excelled by few men as
a Shakespearian scholar and possess
ed a choice of works that is rare and
during his ripe old age, even to the
Itime of his death, continued his read
ing and enjoyment of the works of the
"Bard of Avon." His influence in his
community did not wane with advanc
ing years. He constantly kept in touch
with the youth about him and they
never ceased to seek and profit by his
advice. Every child in his community
knew and revered him and for many
years past joined yearly in the cele
bration of his birthday v on the lawn
of his residence.
In the wars in which the country
has been imbroiled, some member of
his family has participated in defense
of his country. His grandfather was
in the Revolution, his father a boy of
14 carried a drum on his back and
walked from Hummelstown to Balti
more and became a drummer boy in
the War of 1812, the deceased himself
an emergency man in the Civil war,
and his youngest son, George, was
a volunteer surgeon in the Spanish
American war. He and his wife, who
died ten years ago, were the parents
of a large family, four sons and four
daughters. •
The surviving children of Dr. Fox
are: Dr. E. Webster Fox, the noted
eye specialist, of the Medico-Chirurgl
cai College, Philadelphia; ex-State
Senator John E. Fox, of this city;
James G. Fox, formerly a member of
the Legislature from Chester county
and at one time register of that coun
ty, who is now in charge of the Her
shey farms, near Hummelstown; Mrs.
John H. Gray, of, Philadelphia; Mrs.
J. Paul Nissley, of'Hnmmelstown, and
Miss Mary Fox and Miss Elizabeth
Fox, both of Hummelstown.

the slopes may follow closely the com
pletion of the wall and the grano
lithic walk along the steps.
' Oppose Dumping of Earth
There is much opposition to the
proposition of dumping the dirt along
the slope between Mulberry and Mar
ket streets, owing to the fact that this
would mean the destruction of all the
planting and the trees along the bank.
It was never contemplated that the
slope should be extended to the steps
at that point. The plan has always
been to maintain the space between
the slope and the steps as a secondary
or depressed park with benches. But
there is a strong opinion favorable to
the using of the material where it is
needed in filling out the narrow spaces
and the creation of a proper grade
from the top of the bank to the park
strip skirting the shore line. It is
believed that unless some steps are
taken at the present time to utilize
1 Wlial Became ol the
WsmM $1,000,000?
THE
CJH MILLION
M> DOLLAR
MYSTERY
J
this material in this way the city will
be at great expense within a year or
two for tilling out where it will be
necessary to treat the bank as indi
cated.
Interest in River Front Operations
Much interest centers in the op
erations along the river front at the
present time. Gangs of men are en
gaged from Iron alley all the way to
Kelker street in placing the concrete
steps upon the stringers, in construct
ing the wide granolithic walk from
the top step toward the slope, in tilling
out between the steps from the space
west of the wall and in installing the
stringers of the steps north of Calder
street. Other subcontractors are dig
ging out the dirt which lies along the
shore line outside the steps and this
material is being used to fill in be
tween the stringers and back of the
wall.
There is considerable Ailing neces-
sary along the bank near the Mul
berry street bridge, and the Harris
Park embankment will also need some
additional till at several places, so that
altogether the important question
which now confronts the superintend
ent of parks and playgrounds is the
availability of this material which is
likely to be lost to the city unless
some plan Is immediately worked out
for its utilization.
The Completed Walk
Work on the construction of the
Front street subway is progressing
rapidly and within a week Stucker
Brothers Construction Company, tho
contractors, expect to have the ex
cavation completed.
The same contracting company fs
also pushing the work on the construc
tion of the river wall, too. From Iron
alley northward a stretch of several
hundred feet of the wall along the top
of the wall has been finished.
