. FOR PRODUCE BOXES
Drder in Effect on Middle Division
Tomorrow Cuts Out Free
Shipments
In effect to-morrow on the Middle
tMvislon of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
Will be an order prohibiting baggage
men from carrying packages free for
railroad employes. This order hits dl
rectlv at the men who have been re
ducing the high cost of living by buy
ing country produce from farmers
along the division and having it ship
ped free to their home towns.
These packages will now be car
ried by the Adams Express Company
at a regular rates. It will mean an
Increase In cost of living for many
hundreds of employes. The practico
of buying country produce from
farmers has been carried on for many
years. Officials at Altoona and Har
risburg, as well as many trainmen,
shop foremen and superintendents,
have had special boxes made for ship
ping the produce. These boxes are
eent to the farmers early In the week,
and returned two days later filled
with butter, eggs, fruit, etc.
Baggagemen have handled the
boxes going and coining without any
charges. Occasionally, It is said a
basket of peaches or apples would be
sent to the home of the baggageman.
(Sometimes he too had a box that went
the regular trip each week. Now, thts
free privilege will he stopped. Boxes
Bent along the middle division to-day,
will have to be returned to-night, or
the owner must pay express charges
to-morrow. Needless to say rail
road employes are not pleased with
the order.

SCHOOL DAYS IN
THE STATE BEGIN
Bells Ring Today For Approximate
a Third of a Million Pub
lic School Pupils
School hells ring to-day for a third I
of a million public school pupils in I
Pennsylvania, it being the opening day j
of the fall term In most of the bor
oughs and In many of the township
school districts of the state. The
schools of the cities will begin their
term on Tuesday of next week, the
smaller districts commencing a week
ahead of the more populous com
munities. It is expected that within a
fortnight not very far from 1,400,000
pupils will be enrolled in the 2.560
districts comprising the state's public
school system.
The state school report shows that
there were close to 1,350,000 pupils
enrolled in the schools of the state a
year ago and there has been a consid
erable Increase. There are over 15,2 50
schoolhouses and 37,000 schools.
In speaking about the opening of
the school term Commissioner
of Health Samuel G. Dixon gives these
Interesting thoughts'.
Hundreds of thousands of children
will go trotting back to school within
the next few days. Immediately fol
lowing their return, measles, diphth
eria. scarlet fever and certain other
oommunicahle diseases, which reach
their lowest ebb during their vacation
period, will Increase toy leaps and
bounds.
The result will be disease and
death for the children and more or
less disorganization In the schools.
The responsibility for the spread
of much of the contagion rests with
the parents. Unfortunately In many
homes a cold or sore throat Is not con
sidered a sufficient excuse for keep
ing a child at home yet these are the
preliminary symptons of a number of
diseases of childhood. When Johnny
of Jane has a cold or a sore throat
they should remain at home and have
it cared for. If, as often proves to
be the case, It is the first stage of
scarlet fever or diphtheria this may
be of vital importance.
Even If it Is a more simple malady
a days' care may prevent a week's
illness. The child with a cold or sore
throat who comes In contact with a
source of infection is in an ideal con
dition to contarct disease. So primar
ily for their own protection and wel
fare and secondarily for the protec
tion of the other children they should
be kept at home.
Many Misguided parents apparent
ey feel that they are doing their chli
dren a great wrong in permitting
them to stay out of school on account
of what they consider minor ailments.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD
It's easy to make money, but harder
to hold It, Is the verdict of many suc
cessful men. It makes you feel good
to have a fat pocketbook on pay day,
but the question is how long can you
hold It. If you adopt the habit of
placing a specified sum each week in
our savings department we will hold
it for you and then you will have It

WELFARE WORK IS
MOVING STEADILY
State Studying Condition of Immi
grants and Working on Labor
Bureau Problems
Steps are being taken at the State
Department of Latior and Industry for
a study of the immigrants who will
come into Pennsylvania this fall and
they will be followed vip not only as
to what lines of industry they take up
but as to their housing and living
conditions and other details which
will aid in the establishment in the
future of State employment bureaus.
Special attention is also to be given
to the Immigration that takes place
In case there is a revival of industry
in the State when the. countries which
ordinarily furnish the unskilled labor
are at war. This is considered to be
an excellent time to begin studies.
The State has been making an ex
tensive study of employment bureaus
in other states and has had the
co-operation of the I'nited States Bu
reau of Industrial Relations in its
investigations. It is probable that a
system of employment agencies will be
worked out before many months.
Safety in Quarries
Owing to the Illness of James E.
Roderick, the State chief of mines, the
completion of the inquiry into safety
and other conditions in quarries, ore
hanks and similar open-air operations
directed to be made by the last Gen
eral Assembly has been delayed. Chief
Roderick has been ill for several weeks
and his recovery will be prolonged,
but before his illness he undertook
the inquiry and considerable data has
been gathered which will be submitted
to the Legislature In January.
It was the idea to have the quarries
investigated so that a system of in
spection, similar in part to the mine
inspection, could be devised. Several
bills for such systems, notably for
slate and cement quarries, have been
drafted in recent years.
To Secure Uniformity
A series of conferences will be held
this week at the State Department of
Labor and Industry for the purpose of
working out a plan for standardization
of accident reports required from
manufacturing establishments, rail
roads, quarries, mines and other op
erations, and national, state, manu
facturers and labor organizations will
participate. For some time prelimi
nary meetings have been held and
ideas presented by governmental,
labor, corporation and insurance ex
perts.
During the week a conference of
Pennsylvania people will be held and
it will be followed by a meeting at
which officials will come from Wash
ington to represent the national gov
ernment and from other states to dis
cuss the uniform provisions. The
Public Service Commission and State
Department of Mines are co-operating
with the Department of and In
dustry and it is expected that forms
will be much simplified.
Grade Crossings, Too
The subject of grade crossings will
be given consideration by the Public
Service Commissioners at meetings
during September and when the first
meeting is held to-morrow reports on
a number of crossings will lie taken
up. including some in Erie county
which were Inspected by the members
of the commission.
Several forms of grade crossings
have been under study. Including
those In Philadelphia, where an ex
tensive program is under way; grade
crossings In boroughs In half a dozen
counties; municipal viaducts such as
those in Wilkes-Barre, New Castle,
Butler and other places: rural grade
crossings and intersections of steam
and electric railroads. For months
data regarding traffic and accidents at
crossings have been gathered and the
j problems are being gone over by engi
' neers.

The great Russian Doctor
Metchnikoff years ago declared
"that the lower bowel was re
sponsible not only for most fail
ures and unhappiness, but prema
ture deaths." The thought of car
rying around a lot of decomposed
matter in the lower bowel for
hours, and in some instances for
days, is suicidal. When food has
passed through the stomach and
intestines all nourishing and life- ■
giving qualities have been ex
tracted. When it passes into the
lower bowel it is then ready to be
evacuated, and unless it is, the in
testines becorue clogged, which in
turn creates indigestion, paralyzes
the fiver, poisons the blood and
sets up all manner of ailments.
Until Tu-80-Lax was discov
ered. people treated Constipation
through the stomach. The medi
cine had to go through the stom
ach and intestines in order to
reach a little clog that was block
ing the outlet of the lower bowel.
Tu-80-Lax avoids all this injuri
ous, unpleasant and uncertain
method—by evacuating the lower
bowel, making it clean and sweet
a;, any other part of the bod}'. The
constipated man is an irritable
man —"the constipated woman
soon fades and becomes unpre
possessing, if not positively peev
ish. Should the sewer pipes of
Harrisburg become blocked—the
streets would soon be flooded
with putrid matter, which would
breed Malaria. Yellow Fever and
other killing disease. If a sewer
pipe can create such disaster—•
what effect will a clogged bowel,
which is the human sewer pipe,
do to the general health of .the
community? Two-thirds of the
ailments peculiar to women are
caused by straining and consti
pated condition of the bowels.
We want the whole world to
become aroused to the importance
of keeping the lower bowel as
clean as any part of the body, and
by so doing, happiness will be
secured. Life can be prolonged
and the possibilities of men can be
fully developed.
