8 Bulletin's "Penn" Gives His Impressions of Harrisburg Talks of Capitol Park Development; River Front Im provement; The New Business Section; Its Need of Hotel; and Its Men Writing in the Philadelphia. Evening over the name of "Penn,'' William Perrine, editor-in-chief of that newspaper, has much to say concern ling his impressions of Harrisburg as 'the result of a recent visit to this city. 'Mr. Perrine was hero for the Inaugural kjeremonies on Tueßdaymnd saw every thing worth Beeing in Town. This is ■what he writes.: •'Harrisburg for some years past has 'been steadily undergoing a change. It Is the sort of a change which is not so i much noticeable from one year to an other as It is after the lapse of a generation. Nothing In Harrisburg is ever done hastily or rashly; there 1& too much of the old Pennnsylvania Dutch stock In its breed to permit sud iden or inconsiderate changes, and there is still an abundant survival of .its once familiar aspect of tranquillity which hardly fell short of sleepiness mud which not even a State convention or a gubernatorial inauguration could quite disturb. It used to be—and lam not quite certain that there is much change in that respect—that there was !«. sort of Indifference, outside of a few men of broad pub lic spirit, to events of that Kind and to the functions of hospitality which properly attend them. The Capitol or the State government sometimes seems to be at the city rather than In and of It. The magnificent structure which Joseph M. Huston designed on "the Hill" stands forth altogether out of proportion to the sort of urban en vironment in which it Is situated. Yet one gets an Impression that since it ■came into existence it has had some effect as a stimulant to the sense of local advancement and embellishment. There is no doubt, too. that the edifice grows in admiration the more one be comes acquainted with It and the more one can dissociate it in his mind from the sort of harsh or condemnatory dis position which the sordid and also tragic circumstances of its construc tion have inevitably tended to raise against it. But one of the most re spected and influential citizens of Philadelphia told me tho other day that when he was visiting the exhi bition at Leipsic last year he was somewhat surprised to find the State Capitol viewed there as one of the two best models in the architectural display. He observed to a German con noisseur who warmly praised It that its author had been obliged to go to jail. But on hearing this fact there was no abatement of the critic's en thusiasm. 'Why,' he went on to say, •you should remember that even Pericles went to prison.' "The new Capitol Park will cer tainly be an outcome of a species of local pride which the presence of the Capitol itself has awakened. The aren which it is to cover to the north of •the Hill' had become shabby, half dilapidated and something of an eye sore in Its immediate contrast to the Capitol. A few years ago, when it was proposed that thi* region between Walnut street on one side and North street on the other, and from Fourth street down to the Pennsylvania Rail road tracks, should be converted Into a park, the idea was regarded as either a dream or a job. But the opposition to It on the ground of conseivative dis trust or of suspicion as to its integrity disappeared much sooner than It does usually when an innovation of this kind is submitted to public attention. In fact, the plan of the Capitol Park has reached that stage of development in which our own Parkway now is as a great public Improvement to which general sentiment, as well as public policy. Is committed. • ♦ • * "There are several hundred struc tures. chiefly dwelling houses or habi tations of an inferior sort, that are to be demolished tn the region which has i heen set aside for the Park. Some have 'been razed, others have been vacated and abandoned, and the rest of them are suggestive of Impending or even tual destruction. A 'tabernacle.' not altogether unlike Billy Sunday's on our own Parkway in its external appear ance and a scene of the recent Stough revivals, occupies a portion of the con demned tract. It is easy to see, how ever. despite the crudeness and dis integration of everything in the vicin ity. that when it is all cleared away there will be a noble vista for the Capitol. The opportunity will then exist for adorning this land in such a way that in connection with 'the Hill' it will be not altogether unlike the ap proach to the Palais de Justice in Brussels or the surroundings of the Capitol at Washington on the rise from Pennsylvania avenue. The effect of a boulevard along the line of State street, ending as that thoroughfare does at the Susquehanna river, can be produced In splendid fashion, together with a charming popular rendezvous in the broad expanse on either side of it, although it will be necessary for the Pennsylvania Railraod to' co operate in the obliteration of the com monplace condition of its trackage on the edge of the reclaimed area. Thus far all the preliminaries in this im provement. which is conducted and paid for under the authority of the Commonwealth and which ultimately CAN'T BEAT "TIZ" WHENJEET HURT "TIZ" for sore, tired, puffed-up, aching, calloused feet or corns.

Will be a source of no small pleasure to every Pennsylvanlan who visits the seat of government, have been free from scandal, although the amount of money that is involved will run into the millions. "It Is entirely under Harrisburg or local authority, however, that there has been effected, \argely In recent years and still continuing, a gradual transformation of the side of the Sus quehanna river within the municipal limits. Front street has always been a pleasant residential avenue. But it is now becoming not only highly at tractive. but extensive. Much of what was once marsh or meadow land, with a kind of malarial taint in it, has been transformed Into solid ground; the highway has been laid with modern paving, and the banks of the stream have been frequently strengthened with masonry. A treatment somewhat kindred to the one which Boston ap plied. years ago, to territory along the Charles river has been accorded to it. That is to say ,it Is regarded and man 's pun 9IIUSAB uu so A|dUl|S jou pdiiu driveway, but as a riparian park. Here, too, a long row of old houses Is to be cleared away in the vicinity of the cable ferry which runs over to In dependence Island. From the old stone house In which Simon Cameron once lived, or the neighborhood of John Harris' grave, there iB now a long line of attractive mansions on the way toward Rockville. In fact, the roac 1 . to Rockville. where the Pennsyl vania Railroad bridge crosses the Sus quehanna Ave or six miles from Har risburg, has been entirely macadamized beyond the city limits, and the drive along the river bank, looking over to the old hills of Cumberland and to the glorious vista of the upper reaches of the Susquehanna, furnishes one of those picturesque views which many of us become enraptured over when they are seen In a foreign land, but which we fall to appreciate fully and enjoy when we see It in our own. "As one rides along the banks qf the Susquehanna, especially as it was on Tuesday and yesterday, with the water up to the nine and ten foot mark, and looks around at the growing popu lation and takes into consideration the significance of the new Enola over on the Cumberland side—the 'classifica tion' and 'distribution' focal point of the freight service of the Pennsylva nia—he cannot but wonder, for the moment in his musings and specu lations, whether the time may not come when interest in the river at this point will not be chiefly pictorial or as a source of diversion. I remember that about twenty-two or twenty-three years ago, when General Harrison was President, he made a tour into the Susquehanna valley and that In at least one of his always meaty speeches he pictured strikingly the possibilities of the stream as a future inland water way for transportation to and from the C hesapeake—as if It might be so deep ened as to become something like a Pennsylvania Rhine, for a large part of the great German river, or from Holland to Mayence, is filled with ves sels of utility and commerce. The idea is, indeed, very old; It was In vogue even when Washington was President, or when It was proposed that the capi tal of the United States should be situated at Wright's Ferry, and some day when the Interior of Pennsylvania tends to become as populous as Eng land. with the same area, now Is, the navigation of the Susquehanna will be one of the grreat resources of advancing civilization. But as it Is now. a man like E. J. Stack pole, who has furnished or facilitated In the Harrlsburg Tele graph so many of the live ideas which are adaptable to the local life of his city. mSty look out restfully from his line mansion on the shore of the river and easily fancy at times that it is almost as primitive in its scenery as it was when Simon Snyder or William j !? y waß , G ° v ®rnor of Pennsylvania rs.ii j B , c^P ltal had been moved from "iladelphla, a 't er having tarried for a while at Lancaster. Viv«J / ♦ landscaping of this ri\er front or parkway ought to be a prime and constant object of the city's policy.

It is not so many years ago that there was a long gap between Harris burg and Steelton, but it is now erettintr to be so nearly closed up that the time is not far off when each will merge into the other. Doubtless if towns like it and others that are outlying depend encies of Harrisburg were to be united as they probably will be hereafter! there would be easily a pipulatlon of a hundred thousand within its juris diction. Now that the new Capitol has ; anchored the seat of government in the town and we in Philadelphia can no longer plead for its transfer hither and trains have brought It regularly within two hours and twenty minutes of us, we all have more than an ordi nary right to be interested In its future. It seems to need a good modern audi torium; the vacant lot where the Opera House was burned down doesn't look well, and it is curious, too, as it has been these many years, why a tol erably large, commodious, spick-and span hotel cannot be established in the capital of the second State of the Union. That at least is one of the things over which even an outsider, when he temporarily sojourns there, is fully entitled to pipe up an objection. • • • • "The capital of Pennnsylvania should be no mean city; its younger men, at any rate, are trying to make It more worthy of a Commonwealth which is as a nation within a nation." GOD IS TRUE God answers prayer; sometimes when hearts are weak He gives the very gifts believers seek. But often faith must learn a deeper rest. And trust God's silence when he does not speak; For he, whose name is love, will send the best. » Stars may burn out, nor mountain walls endure. But God is true, his promises are sure .

S. McColgin, Secretary of Com merce Chamber Reiterates Warning to Investors While the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce to-day said that telegrams have been received from McAlester, Okla., attesting to the honesty of the Oklahoma land agents who have a "demonstration car" on the Pennsy siding east of the Market street sub way, nevertheless a warning was again sounded by the secretary, E. L. McCol gin, against purchasing land In the far west. The Chamber's secretary's statement when summed up indicates that he believes buying real estate from the Oklahoma people to be much like buying "a pig in a poke." Mr. McColgin's statement, Issued this morning, is as follows: "The Chamber of Commerce is not interested in the personnel of the peo ple selling land. It Is merely inter ested In local people buying land out of the state without seeing it. For it to give more publicity to the matter would merely be advertising the propo sition. It has advised people to use caution, and is not bound to do any more. "So far as giving out telegrams, etc., from unknown individuals in the Southwest is concerned, it merely looks upon that as free advertising, which It does not care to give. "The Harrisburg Chamber of Com merce feels that buying real estate in a far-off state by local people who have never seen it is an impractical way of doing business. The only way in which any investor in real estate can properly safeguard his Interest is to see what he is getting. "If any Harrisburg people buy southwestern real estate without look ing at it and later discontinue making payments on it or let It be sold for taxes after being cautioned by the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce, it is their own affair. It was for the purpose of stopping such unwise In vestments that blue-sky laws were en acted by a large number of states. "No telegrams have been received Indorsing the Oklahoma land sale scheme except from people who have a linancial Interest In the matter ex cept a second statement from the Commercial Club there which has every evidence of being sent after pressure had been exerted to obtain it." The full text of the telegram re ceived yesterday by the manager of the demonstration car after his refer ence of the matter to his home office follows: McAlester, Okla., Jan. 21, 1913. W. F. Gorsuch, care Oklahoma Car. near Depot, Harrisburg, Pa.: Commercial Club sent new wire to-day, telling of our success at land sale. American National Bank wired that we were promi nent business men and that we made the success of land sale pos- / sible. We also send strong wire.

Helps For the Housewife A delicious way of making lemon pudding is to use apples, stewed and mashed through a, colander, Instead of bread crumbs or flour. It entirely does away with the objectionable stickiness of the flour, and gives a better flavor than the crumbs. It is claimed that, during seasons when diphtheria and other contagious diseases prevail, as they have during the past few months, onions, cooked in some way should be eaten at least once a week. Onions are invigorat ing and prophylactic, and it is said that where children have freely eaten onions, none have died from diph theria or scarlet fever. There are so many ways of cooking onions, and so few but what like them, that they could be served regularly without be coming tiresome. During cold weather, when one has much to do with handling coal and ashes, the hands would be greatly helped if they are washed clean at night, then rinsed in borax water and dried. Borax is very healing and will keep the hands smooth. Put crude borax in a bottle and fill the bottle with water. When nil the borax is dissolved, add more until the water will absorb no more, and a rislduum remains in the bottom of the bottle. When ready to use, pour enough of this solution into the water you use to make it feel slippery, or very soft. It will not hurt the hands, as there is nothing harmful in the borax. Keep a bottle on the wash stand, and let the children use it. In warming over old biscuits, do not wet them, or sprinkle with water, but put them on a tin, set in the oven and cover closely with another tin. They will be like fresh ones. The oven must be quite hot, and the cover fit down tightly. If the oven is cool, the biscuit will dry out and be tough. To cool a hot dish in a hurry, set It in a vessel containing cold salted water. This will extract the heat more rapidly than fresh water.
