BRUM BAUGH'S inaugural message Is a strong, epigrammatic paper, cohering and emphasizing in vigorous language but. in comparatively brfsf Dorm every one of the points of the personal platform upon which he bas ed his canvass for the governorship. Jn full It is as follows: Fellow Citiuens of Pennsylvania: In assuming the duties of the office to which you have elected me, I am .humbled and steadied by the greatness of the obligation Imposed and the abidr conviction that I can do my duty • only when aided and guided hv the Divine. In His name and for His peo ple I enter upon this new field of en deavor. Fortunate, indeed, are we that our Commonwealth is enjoying to-day the blessings of peace and the inherit uujee of a worthy record through suc cessive administrations of its public affairs. To add an additional chapter to an already honorable record is my !earnest desire. To this end I solicit IJ-oiir active co-operation and your un selfish support. This Commonwealth i«nd the colony from which It gTew (have a record of achievement so splen idid that we may take an honest pride !ln maintaining Its traditions, in ad 'vanolng its interest!?, In publishing its virtues. In resenting its assailants and proclaiming our happy lot that we are Pennsylvanians. Throughout the campaign I stood 6quarely upon my nlatform pledges, *nd was elected because the people believed I would use my utmost en deavor to secure legal enactments em bodying these declarations. I shall jtssuredly do so. When 590,700 voters of this great Commonwealth give us a. commission, they have a right to demand its fulfillment.

State Thin People Can Increase Weight Thin men and w< n n who would .like to increase their weight with 10 or 15 pounds of healthy "stay there" fat should try eating a little Pargol with their meals for a while and note re sults. Here is a good test worth try ing. First weigh yourself and measure yourself. Then take Hargol—one tyb ■let with every meal—for two weeks. ■Then weigh and measure again. It isn't a question of how, you look or feel or what your friends say and think. The scales and the tape measure will (ell their own story, and most any thin ■man or woman '-an easily add from live to eight pounds in the first fourteen days by following this simple direction And best of all, the new flesh stays put. Sargol does not of itself make fat but mixing with your food, It turn.3 the ■fats, sugars and starches of what you iliave eaten, into rich, ripe, fat-produc inp nourishment for the tissues and blood—prepares it In an easily assimi lated form which the blood can readily accept. All this nourishment now passes from your body as waste. But 'Sargol stops the waste and does it quickly and makes the fat-producing contents of the very same meals you are eating now develop pounds and pounds of healthy flesh between your skin and bones. Sargol is safe, pleas ant, efficient and Inexpensive. George A.

DRESS WARM AND KEEP FEET DRY Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts and Get Rid of Uric Acid Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub ject to rheumatism should eat less moa'. dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all, drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid •which Is in the bowels and uaorbed into iiie blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this o.cid from the blood and cast It out in tbo urine; the pores of the skin are blbo a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the aWn pore* are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulating and circu lating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jau salts: put a tablespoon ftil in a glass of water and drink be fore breakfast each morning for a week.Thls Is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal aotlon, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. -.lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and -is made from the acid of grapes and combined with Hthia and is used with excellent results by "thousands of folk's who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas • ant, effervescent lithla-water drink which overcomes uric acid and is •beneficial 'to your kidneys as well. — Advertisement. ' I TUESDAY EVENING, | lure and the Executive which, if wise, both shall surely heed. If we give the I people the laws they have demanded and we have promised, we shall per form a distinctly valuable service to the Commonwealth. If we fail to do this we'must bear the consequences. 1 pledge myself to an unselfish serv ice to the whole people of Pennsyl vania, and ask yoor aid and active support both in securing good laws and. in enforcing those now on the statute books. The State Over-Lawed We have been over-lawed. We have gone too far upon the theory that leg islation is the cure of our social, eco nomic and political ills. We have ac tually made legal criminals when, as a matter of duty, we should have ad dressed ourselves to the vastly move worthy task of educating our people Into an increasing love for liberty, re spect for law and devotion to our American civilization. We should never make a law that in its opera tion will work harm to the many and good only to the selfish or potential few. It is the business of government to make it easy to do right and diffi cult to do wrong. We need few addi tional laws. We could well afford to repeal many more than we enact. I trust, therefore, that we may all plan together to reduce enactments to a minimum, to reject all laws that do not hold the assurance of good to the many and so to facilitate legislation as to give to the people the few vital enactments they need and deserve. As speedily as may be, this we should do, and when this is done the Legislature should adjourn. For the moral and the economic wel fare of our people we must all stand surely and steadily. Our laws should be not only regulators of procedure, but educators of the public conscience. Our great assets are not material, but spiritual. A government that enriches life and widens a people's vision will endure. No other Is worthy of the name. If we address ourselves anew to this holy experiment we shall easily add unto It all essential material good. I am not unmindful that the quality of administration is the first concern and duty of the Governor. This I shall keep dally in mind. But I also submit that it is vital to the welfare of the people that the laws administered be of the sort that will insure to our people "peace, safety and happiness." To secure such laws and no others is my duty quite as much as it is your duty. I take this occasion to urge upon you the importance of certain well-defined wishes and admitted needs of our people. Local Option I urge upon you, gentlemen of the Legislature, the enactment of a County Local Option law. The people of this Commonwealth have a perfect right to decide for themselves whether or not intoxicating liquors shall be sold in their several counties. This issue Is before you. You must meet it, and meet it openly and fairly. I gave solemn assurance to the people that I favored such a law. Your Governor now asks you to join with him in its enactment. Every consideration of moment favors such procedure. The sooner we do so the better. Let' this vexed question be taken from partisan control and given directly to the peo ple. They will solve it better than we can. The selection of judges in the several districts should no longer hinge upon this question. It has already worked harm to the judiciary and has lessened the regard of our people for tho integrity and capacity of ttfe final legal guardians of the people's sacred rights. It is a dominant issue in the ! public mind. The party that has given J this great State Its industrial and edu-| cational development has now the sacred opportunity of giving the State a great moral uplift. I trust we shall not fail the people on this issue. I repeat I am unequivocably for county local option. Highways The people who are the producers in Pennsylvania have a perfect right to insist upon better transportation facili ties, both by land and bv water. AVe add substantial good to our people when we make it easy to transport, a miximum load at a minimum cost from farm and factory to the best markets and market stations. Four years ago, under the apprehension that the people would approve a SSO.- j 000.000 loan for roads, the State took I over more than 9,000 miles of high ways. To this, at the last session of the Legislature, additions were made. We now have under State control 10,- 200 miles of highways. The loan was not. approved. The roads were taken over. This was a mistake. The cur rent revenues will not properly care for these roads. They are becoming increasingly unsatisfactory. Unless largely increased revenues are pro vided it would be wise to admit this mistake ami begin again upon the road problem. We must have now a road policy that will meet reasonable ac ceptance and permit of a continuous j treatment for many years to come. The I people need, and must have at once, better transportation facilities. The State should find revenues ade quate to the construction of a few great highways, routed between the great centers of population. These I should be well built, and when built I placed under the earo of capable su pervisors, whose duty It should be to keep them daily in good repair. It la ' a strong constitution as sliown in -nervous symptoms, lan guor and repeated colds.

"Acid" stomachs are dangerous be i cause acid irritates and inflames the I delicate lining of the stomach, thus I hindering and preventing the proper i action of the stomach, and leading to probably nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble from which people suf fer. Ordinary medicines and medicinal treatments are useless In such cases, for they leave the source of the trouble, the acid in the stomach, as dangerous as ever. The acid must be neutralized, and its formation prevented, and the best thing for this purpose is a tea spoonful of bjsurated magnesia, a simple antacid, taken in a little warm or cold water after eating, which not only neutralizes the acid, but also pre vents the fermentation from which acidity Is developed. Foods which or dinarily causa distress may be eaten with Impunity If the meal is follow ed with a little hlsurated magnesia, which can be obtained from any drug gist, and should always be kept handy. Advertisement. I sheer folly to construct a costly road and, unsupervised, allow.it to deterio rate. These supervisors should be li censed roadkeepers and not political accidents. Unless a man knows how to repair R road and is willing to put his knowledge to use, he ought never to receive appointment and pay from the State. AVe also need State-aided roads. These may perhaps best be worked out on the county unit plan. The county, with power to,collect from each po | lilleal subdivision its quota of road taxes, should receive an equal sum I from the Commonwealth. The money [thus secured should be expended pro 'rata by the county upon the roads of the several townships. The routes should be as far as possible those con necting county seats, and the plans and perhaps all, surely part, of the supervision of construction be ap proved and supplied by the State. Roads should cost less than in the past. The people should know all the while what is being done and what ex pense is involved. A good highway is not only a public necessity but an ac tually attainable good for our people. The State has now many miles of privately owned roads. These are maintained: some well, some badly, by the fees exacted from the users. These should be acquired and made a part of the public road system of the State. It is no credit to us that toll roads, once .a blessing, now an irritation, should continue to exist In Pennsyl vania. So vital is this matter and so im minent is the demand that I urge you to reduce your appropriations In other directions as far as possible in order to give the highways the largest pos sible appropriations. Civil Service The public service should be as effi cient and economical as private serv ice. I believe in and would approve a sane and practical State civil service. Education Under the school code our schools have made commendable progress. With few exceptions the provisions of that code are so essentially wise that they should not be changed. Your State Board of Education, to whom the law delegates the duty of suggesting such school legislation as should be enacted, will in due time advise you concerning the laws, if any, that would increase the efficiency of our schools. I commend their findings to you. As the number of pupils to be educated increases the appropriations should In crease. More attention must be given to vocational education. We have the largest number of farmrers of any State in the Union. Surely agriculture should command greater attention In our schools. I favor the creation of many rural high schools in which both boys and girls may be taught how to earn on the farm and in the home an honest livelihood. An education that does not increase the size of the loaf on the family table Is scarcely worth the attention of our people. All edu cation, no matter how liberal and cul tural, should be so imparted as to mako it usable. The facilities for training teachers should be improved, .better supervision provided and higher education encouraged. But the em j phasis of the State's concern should rest upon the schools of the many— l the great common school so dear to our people and so essential to their welfare. We need a greatly enlarged permanent school fund. Universal edu cation is the best safeguard of our lib erties and money devoted to right edu cation is the State's best Investment. Woman Suffrage The resolution passed by the last Legislature submitting an amendment to the Constitution providing for wom an suffrage should be re-enacted and the voters allowed to determine for i themselves whether or not women shall vote In Pennsylvania. Appropriations to Charity Pennsylvania leads all States in its support of dependents. Its record should be maintained. But there is neither sense nor justice in unstudied appropriations to our many charitable institutions and agencies. These con stitute important and wholly worthy objects of public concern and support. The legislature should know from competent authority their real needs and should follow such knowledge in making its appropriations. Moreover, the bounty of the State should never exceed the assured income of the State. It should not again occur that the ob ligation of lessening this bounty should be placed upon the Executive. It may be that some wiser and surer method can be devised to insure these funds doing the greatest good and reaching directly the institutions and agencies whose service is best or most needed. Surely the supervision of the State should follow absolutely its gifts. The State can afford to be generous only when it is just. Labor and Its Claims. The people who toll are among the choice assets of our Commonwealth. For their protection, their comfort, their advancement, their happiness, we are all securely pledged. 1 shall wel come any laws that promote these es sentially wise ends. We must enact a fair and certain Workmen's Compen sation Act. its provisions should se cure reasonable compensation to those i who in their dally toll suffer from acci dent or disease. It should assuredly make for the prevention of accidents. This compensation should be guaran teed. The funds for its prompt pay ment should be counted among the costs of production. In scope it should not include labor upon the farm nor domestic service. Great care should be exercised to see that the law be drawn in strict compliance with constitutional limitations. The present Inability Act needs amendment to the end that it way be in full accord with the above proposed act and that both alike may guarantee to our workers the certain and speedy relief they merit and should have. Our Child quate and unsatisfactory. No child under sixteen should be allowed to work. He should be In school. The small sum he earns prior to sixteen at the cost of his physical and mental de velopment Is a pittance compared with the loss he and the Commonwealth i sustain under the present law. Such "penny wise" and "pound foolish" laws are unworthy this great State. When a child Is not at work under law he should be in school. He should never be a licensed loafer In the streets. The hours of toll sh.>u:d be supplemented by hcurs of study in school.

No opiaiea. BARRISBURG TELEGRAPH specific aid should be maintained in every industrial center. No child should be allowed to enter upon any form of service who is not certified by competent agents to be physically fit for such service. In this great Industrial State it is ,our duty to pay definite attention to the housing problem. Every family should be housed in a home that is pri vate. sanitary, safe and attainable at a reasonable rental. I urge your at tention to this important problem. We cannot breed good citizens in disgrace ful nouses. It would be a great pleas ure to me and a great blessing to our workmen if this problem were ade quately met now. Our Farms We have not learned how to make the most of our soil. The rewards of our toil on the {arm are not what they should be. The State should grow more food than it consumes. We ought not to be buyers but sellers of foods. Money should flow to us, not away irom us. The departments of the gov ernment charged with the conserva tion of our soil and the scientific de velopment of our crops have Bprung up, one at a'tlme, as their services were required and no effort has been made to articulate and co-ordinate these several agencies. There is at least departmental confusion If not ac tual duplication and conflict of activi ties. All this means waste in funds and lessened service to the farmer. I hope In this session of the Legislature to have such action taken as will sepa rate the teaching from the administra tive functions of these agencies and reduce each to an ordered and scien tific service. The funds for the ad vancement of our agricultural inter ests ought to express themselves much more largely in wheat and corn and potatoes and less in clerical and other forms of routine service. Let us legis late for the farmer rather than for the officeholder. Municipal Regulation Our cities have grown more rapidly than our rural districts. Our urban population is so complex that it scarcely knows how to apply the prin ciples of democracy. These people will learn, even if they blunder, when they have the fullest responsibility of con trol placed squarely upon them. They will learn much more slowly, if at all, while the State at long range Is the large regulator of their conduct and their corporate life. Our laws ought not to hinder but help these great groups speedily to find themselves In the difficult task of adjusting munici pal affairs to individual welfare. The State should give these municipalities wider freedom of opportunity to de velop as they would, and to place defi nite responsibility upon them so to regulate their affairs as to make our cities centers of moral uplift and ex amples of clean, capable administra tion. Conservation ' Once Pennsylvania was ricli In nat ural resources and unequaled in nat ural beauty. Much of its wealth has been taken from it. Much yet remains. Its ownership has passed to private and to corporate agencies. They have rights that must be respected. So also have the people of the State a claim upon these great natural assets. In their marketing the Commonwealth plays an essential part. In the returns the people ought also to Share. A rea sonable tax upon our great natural re sources as they flow to our markets is both fair and wise. Our public lands represent a new and increasingly valu able asset. We should speedily ac quire many more acres and assist na ture to reforest the same. The State can well afford to invest part of its income for the welfare of succeeding generations. Indeed, If we love our continuing Commonwealth more than we love our personal gain, we shall assuredly foster our resources and, whenever possible add to them. We fail to sense this obligation aright if we do not remember that our people are our greatest asset. What ever makes for their good is conserva tion of the loftiest kind. That they may be safeguarded in their health, their recreation, their education, their homes, their worship, their property, their regulated freedom, their toil, should be our constant endeavor. Conclusion Pennsylvania lias always given homo anil haven to the people of the civilized world. Hero we have had for a quar ter of a millenium the most hetero geneous population of any State. There has never been persecution or oppres sion. In peace, in order, in brother hood, we have grown into a mighty people, an empire of substantial pur poses. Our people are law abiding and liberty loving. They want the right things to prevail. They welcome the unselfish leadership of clean men. They want and must have a clean, cap able and conscientious administration of their public affairs. Those of ua that serve should be frankly honest with them. They have a perfect right to know, and they shall know, what this administration stands for and will st< adlly do. In the performance of public service let us adopt the finest code of ou r best citizens and put private integrity into public service. L«et ns all devoutly pray for this great State and by our words and our deeds humbly help our common God to save, to honor, to exalt this splendid Commonwealth lie ha 3 given into our care and keeping.

Brumbaugh, who was inaugurated Governor of Pennsylva nia to-day, is one of the moßt widely known and best loved men in the State. His popularity won for him the great est support given a Governor in recent years. What he has done in a public way.,first as a county superintendent, later as the organizer of the schools In Porto Rico, more recently in the schools of Philadelphia, are fresh be fore the minds of the present day. The human side of the educator, liis every day life, and his innate modesty and the human side, the most interesting, are known only to his intimates. As a dramatic, human force, rather than as an educator. Governor Brum baugh appeals to his friends as one of the most lovable and likable characters, lie has a magnetism that seems almost cultivated, yet is perfectly natural, and flows from his sympathetic soul. He is as the Germans say, "all soul; of boundless sympathies." The atmos phere of his personality Is borrowed from the sunny climes of the South. He is always bright and cheerful, kindly and considerate of his inferiors. Governor Brumbaugh is a rugged, healthy figure of a man, a perfect product of outdoor life and truly rep resentative of his German stock, lie is the picture of a powerful athlete, erect, and towering over 6 feet. He Is Impressive of the physical giant rather than the. intellectual. Nothing in his appearance betokens the lines of a stu dent or recluse. His leonine head, double-barreled square jaws, and thick yet well developed body, recall to mind one of the characters in Wagner's operas. The most striking facial char acteristic of the man is his heavy brows. His keen, discerning, kindly glance travels beneath this abundance of hair, overhanging his steel eyes. A Horn Comrade If the ethics of his profession per mitted, Governor Brumbaugh would be an ideal clubman. He likes com panionship and the good fellowship of the clubhouse. He is a born comrade, fond of the society of his fellows and the interchange of wit of the dinner table. As a long-time member of the Five o'clock Club, of Philadelphia, and a former president of this dining club. Dr. Brumbaugh is a free-from-care man of the world and the best enter tainer of that club of good fellows. Recently he was elected to member ship in the Union League of Philadel phia. The Governor's Family Governor Brumbaugh has always kept his home life in the background. He holds to the principle that a ptlb- j lie man is entitled to virtually the same privacy as a private citizen as regards his domestic life and the ac tion of his family. He proposes to continue this fixity of principle in pub lic life, if possible. Many men have tried to protect their family life* from the curiosity of the public, but the American people whole-heartedly care as much for the family of the Execu tive as the Executive himself. He is exceptionally fond of home life and will endeavor to maintain the secrecy of the home in I-larrlsburg as he has in Philadelphia. Governor Brumbaugh is just beyond the 52 mark, having been born on a farm in Huntingdon county, where his father now more than 80 years old, still resides-—the object of affectionate interest and care of his son. He conies of a family of teachers and preachers. His father, in his youth, was a teacher. Brumbaugh was a teacher at 16 years, superintendent of the Huntingdon county schools at 22. He is of German descent, and be comes one of that long line of German Governors of Pennsylvania, Simon Snyder, who was elected in 1850, was the first. After him came Ileistler, Schulze, Rolf, Ritner, Shunk, Bigler, and, more recently Pennypacker. His life has been filled with hard struggles and big successes. After his term as county superintendent he re signed, attended the Harvard Gradu ate School and the University of Penn sylvania to better fit himself fof the teaching profession. Some of his ca reer may be summarized as follows: Organized system of teachers' insti tutes in Louisiana in 1886-1889. Ad dressed county institutes in every part of Pennsylvania. Head of department of pedagogy in University of Pennsylvania before he received his doctor's degree in 1895. Read law with Judge Bailey at Huntingdon in order to prepare him self for broader service. First Commissioner of Education to Porto Rico 1899-1901. Acting Presi dent Porto Rican Senate. Helped or ganize the administration of the island. Organized modern school system. In creased number of schoolhouses from 614 to 1000. Still remembered as the greatest administration the island has had. Superintendent of Schools in Phila delphia 1906-1914. Head of school system in city of 1,600,000 population, with 182,000 pupils in the public schools; 5000 teachers, 300 buildings and a plant valued at $30,000,000. Organized school system on modern, efficient basis, 36 new fireproof build ings erected in six years. All high schools brought to first class. Physi cal education and manual training or ganized in elementary schools. Night schools reorganized. Teachers' sal aries raised. Organized first playground associa tion in Philadelphia, 1907.

Member State Board of Education, controlling 35,000 schools. 11,300,000 pupils, with a plant valued I above $103,000,000, receiving $7,500,- I 000 from the State each year. I American representative at Interna tional Convention of Sunday School [Workers in 1913 in Zurich. Author of :S--nday school textbooks, member In ternational Sunday School Association Committee on Education. Member College and University Council of Pennsylvania. President Division of Large Cities of Department of Superintendence Na tional Education Association. President National Society for Study of Education. President International Congress on Home Education. Governor Brumbaugh's early life was one of such discouragement that | few men rarely face and emerge suc cessfully. He virtually educated him- I self by working at the college table land acting as a Janitor. He shoulder led a family debt at 18 years of age, and saved his father's property from the sheriff's hammer. If there is any man who has come to the Governor's chair by dint of his own industry, achieving every advancement from his own education, to head of the schools in Philadelphia, it is Gover nor Brumbaugh. He is an up-stand ing product of German thrift and in dustry and rugged honesty. Handicaps in Youth Superior Court Judge George B.
