WHEN WILL HE OPEN ITT M f DON'T KcepTHA-TN m / MOB o- HEELERS \ j WOODBURY URGES STATE PENSIONS Noted Charity Authority Makes Ad dress Before State Poor Di rectors at Carlisle Dr. Frank Woodbury, secretary of the committee on lunacy of the State Board of Public Charities, to-day pre sented a paper before the State con vention of poor directors at Carlisle in which he strongly advocated a State system for the people who have given the best days of their lives to the ser vice of the Commonwealth. Dr. Woodbury discussed recognition and appreciation of faithful service especially In the line of charitable work and said in part: "President Eliot, of Harvard, some years ago enunciated the important truth that 'lt is not every man's duty to shoulder a musket in order to serve his country.' Many men and women render invaluable service to the state in other ways than by joining the ranks of the military or militants. The services rendered by the soldier are dramatic and powerfully impressive. The shattered and depleted regiments return from war with martial music, shot-torn banners fluttering in th • breeze, faded uniforms, and here and there an empty sleeve. There Is no lack of recognition or of adequate ap preciation of the services they have rendered. A grateful country gen erously provides for their needs and protects them from want. No one raises a voice In objection to this action, which is regarded as simply an act of justice. Everyone honors the old soldier who in the hour of his country's need failed her not; in the time of his need his country has not failed htm. "But men serve their country in other ways than by shouldering a musket. Is It not time. I ask you, for us to acknowledge the value of the work of faithful employes of the state, who. having given the best years of their lives to its service, find them selves 'in danger in their old ago of being cast naked to their enemies.' It [ls acknowledged that the wages or | remuneration given to many of these tollers is so small as to render It im possible for them to make any proper provision for their support when they become too old to work. Why should there not be a State pension for em ployes after many years' service that would support them In comfort in their old age? Perhaps thts could best be done through a system of State Insurance. I do not know. All that I care for is that this provision as a re ward for faithful sendee should be given by the State. It seems to me that this is a simple act of justice and on this plea I rest my argument. But It also seems to me to be a wise pro ceeding, on the lower ground of ex pediency. Its effect would be to ele vate the work to a higher standard and Inspire the worker with more Interest nd more desire to do his work well In order to retain his po sition. He will feel that he Is an officer of the State, and it will make him more loyal and zealous in pro moting the interests of the State. ■Finally, It will fill him with hope for VERMILAX A Marvelous "Toner Up" for Your Dog.

BEDFORD CHAMPIONS WHOLESALE GROCER High Type of Business Men and Necessary Factors to Modern Life Special to The Telegraph New York, Oct. 6.—The much harassed wholesaler, who has been criticised far and wide as an unneces sary middle man and therefore one of the causes of the high cost of living, has found a champion In E. T. Bed ford, president of the Corn Products Refining Company. Mr. Bedford says: "There are more than 3,000 whole sale grocers in the country. They have thousands of salesmen and can be commended as businessmen of hlfch, If not the highest, character of any in the country, with signal ability as "distributors. As such, they are the most economical medium through which the manufacturer can reach the consumer." This sentiment, coming from a man of Mr. Bedford's experience, has cre ated countrywide attention and Leslie's Weekly says of it: "Wholesalers; In the crusade for lower prices, the retailer and whole saler are constantly subjected to the charge that they are needless and that they are largely responsible for the increased cost of living. This is un fair. The retailer and the wholesaler have their functions or they would not exist. They maintain the balance of supply and demand. They meet the special requirements of the public. Their profits are not large and de pend upon the volume of their busi ness. They are as much entitled to a living as the farmer or the working man. Mr. E. T. Bedford, president of the Corn Products Refining Company, makes a spirited defense of the whole sale grocer. Others bear similar testi mony. Let. those who are seeking to eliminate the middleman bear in mind that he has a place to fill and fills It well. An excellent motto for all Is the old one, 'Live and let live!' " Tustin Replies to McCormick Charges Recorder Ernest L. Tustin. of Phil adelphia, a member of the Panama- Pacific exposition, has made some comments on the statements of Vance C. McCormick about the expenses of the commission which are Interesting In view of what Attorney General Bell said about the young man yesterday. "It is particularly unfortunate," said Mr. Tustin, "when the different States are endeavoring to make the Panama Exposition a success and are using ex traordinary efforts to supply the de ficiency caused by the war in Europe that Mr. McCormick should issue false and misleading statements with innu endoes that the commission Is guilty of gross extravagance. The commis sion numbers among its members rep resentative citizens of Pennsylvania, business and professional men. whose financial standing is quite equal to that of Mr. McCormick, and whose reputation is quite as good for truth fulness and fair dealing. They have, with two exceptions, served without compensation and devoted much of their personal time and energy to make the exposition worthy of the great enterprise it commemorates, and have made every effort to give Penn sylvania a fair and creditable repre sentation with as little cost as pos sible." On a more recent trip to the coast, he said, Mr. Ray and Mr. King had saved the State about SB,OOO by promptly making arrangements with a new contractor when the one who was to construct the Pennsylvania building at the exposition went into bankruptcy. Items for taxicabs are proper, he declared, because the dis tance from St. Francisco to the ex position site is too great to walk, and there are no cars to be taken.

Asiatic Cholera Breaks Out in Tarnow, Galicia By Associated Press London, Oct. 7, 8.35 a. m. —A dis patch from Rome to the Exchange Telegraph Company says: "A message from Vienna announces the sudden outbreak of Asiatic cholera In a most violent form at Tarnow, in Galicia. ' Forty cases, the message says, were reported on Tuesday." Tarnow on the Dunajec river, is a town of about 35,000 inhabitants. It is 135 miles west of Lemberg and on the line which the Austrians and Rus sians are taking on their way to Cra cow.

Acording to a cablegram from London, the British Government late yesterday afternoon isued an order prohibiting the exporta tion of raw wool from Engl;.nd to any other cbuntry. According to manufacturers and woolen experts, this order will vitally affect the situation in Philadelphia. They agreed that it would radically disturb the market in this country and would result in a substantial stiffening of prices. Clothing, carpets, blankets and other necessities manufactured from the raw product will, on account of the order, be scarce, unless an increase In Impor tations from China and Russia can be made. Should the order be extended to Include exportations from England's colonies, through the voluntaVy action of Australia and other dependencies, there would be no wool at less than $1 a pound. One of the largest dealers In this 1 city, Charles J. West, Is of opinion that, I cut off from England's supply and pos- I elbly Australia's also, the woolen In- Idustry in America will be In serious I danger of partial extinction. ; Germans Follow Line of Least Resistance By Associated Press London, Oct. - 7, 3.19 a. m. The correspondent of the Post In Petro grad in a disquisition contrasting Rus sian and German strategy to the dis advantage of the latter says: "Instead of following sound military principles of seeding out the enemy's strength and endeavoring to smash It, the Germans seem to follow the lines lof least resistance. Whether this is [the result of basing war upon the ex jperiences of the parade ground and ; maneuvers arranged beforehand, it is I difficult to say, but certainly the Ger man army is learning its business only now. Both the great German defeats, In Galicia and in Western Russia, ex emplify the same defect in tactics of following the line of least resistance. In both cases the Russians caught them In precisely the same trap. In the latter case the Russians left a gap of twenty miles open like a mouse trap door and the German! marched gaily in. They found no opposition untfl they met an unpleasant surprise at the fantastic bends of the river Is'ie men, and while trying to ford the Ntemen the jaws of the trap closed UDon them. -•""ii ii lr Tni r ii ir" 'WfHEN a man's win- W nin'he says he's "on VELVET?
