THE THIRD JUDGESHIP BILL
THE Nissley third judgeship bill is
deserving of the serious consid
eration of the Legislature. The
courts of Dauphin county are
among the most important in the
State. The two judges are so over
crowded with work that it not infre
quently happens they must call in
judges from other districts to help
thera during rush periods. Sometimes
us many as four judges are sitting at
one time in this county, each on a
separate case and each case of more
than ordinary magnitude.
In addition to the large number of
civil and criminal cases that naturally
arise in a county of such diverse in
terests and cosmopolitan population as
Dauphin, all of the State tax cases
are by law tried out here, and they
alone number hundreds in the coui*se
of a year. Many election cases must
also be heard in the local courts, the
law providing for this on account of
the fact that this is the official home
and headquarters of the attorney gen
eral, and they also pass on the con
stitutionality of many laws of doubt
ful legality. All of this is work of vast
importance, in many cases involving
intricate points of law and much re
search.
The courts here arc admittedly be
hind with their work. This is not
surprising, although both judges are
industrious and spend hours at their
desks that would disqualify them for
membership in any self-?espeeting
labor union, and the only remedy, It
ould seem, lies in the direction of a
third judge to be at hand all the time
to take up a share of the ever-growing
burden.
PROBING THE MYSTERY
CORONER ECKINGER and the
county authorities are entirely
justilied in making whatever
expenditures are necessary to
solve the mystery surrounding the
finding of the skeleton of an unknown
wirl in the cellar of the house at 133
South Fourteenth street. The mur
der, as it unquestionably was, must
not bo allowed to go unpunished, if
any way can be found to bring to jus
tice the unknown slayer. There are
so .many unusual circumstances in this
case that the truth may never be
known, but that ought not to halt the
officials for a moment in their work
until the last clue has been run do%vn
and the movements of every family
that lias occupied the house since its
erection are satisfactorily explained.
Not only is this in line with justice
to the girl whose body lay so long in
its cellar grave, but others who may
be disposed to hide crime in a similar
manner must be given to understand
that the arm of the law is long and
t liut its servants in Harrisburg leave
no stone unturned to bring to book
those who inay be guilty when onee
the crime is discovered. If money
and time are required for this, they
should be freely given. The blood of
this young victim cries out for ven
geance and the public is anxious that
an example shall be set.
SAFEGUARDING YOUR CHILDREN
THE Woman's Home Companion
for March contains some ad
vice that every mother ought
to pin to the walls of her
nursery for daily consultation. In
the Better Babies Department ap
pears a special page for mothers
in which special, emphasis is laid
on the fact that this is the sea
son when contagious diseases, reap
their harvests among infants and chil
dren. The most common acute con
tagious diseases are diphtheria,
whooping cough, scarlet fever and
measles, all of which are preventable.
The following suggestions are given
as to how to prevent your children
from contagion:
Keep your home well ventilated
and free from dust germs.
Keep your garbage container cov
ered and free from leaks.
Keep your back yard clean. Never
throw out dishwater to freeze, melt
and breed germs.
Teach your children to avoid other
children who have bad colds, espec
ially "whoopy" coughs; who have
rashes, or whose skin is peeling off, or
w hose throats are tied up.
Train your children to wash their
hands before eating, to avoid public
drinking cups and towels, and to buj*
no food from stands, carts or baskets
unprotected from dust.
Send for your doctor If your usually
active child turns dull, listless and
WEDNESDAY EVENING,
complaining, or If your baby, who
cannot complain, shows any of these
symptoms: Dry, hot skin: persistent
vomiting; fretfulness and wakeful
ness: sneezing and coughing: lack of
appetite, refusing breast or bottle at
the usual time.
Many a case of severe illness, yes,
even death, may be prevented by ob
serving such easily remembered prac
tical common sense rules as these.
BAND CONCERT ASSOCIATION
THE announcement that an or
ganization will be formed in
the near future tor be called the
Municipal Band Concert Asso
ciation of Harrisburg, the sole objects
of which will be to give free band con
certs for the benefit of the general
public In the parks of the city, de
serves the hearty co-operation of the
people. Harrisburg enjoyed mightily
the splendid concerts given years ago
I under the direction of the park au
thorities. and it Is too bad that some
way has not been found to continue
them.
For a long -time, under the direction
of George G. Kennedy, when he was
superintendent of the Water Depart
ment, and later through the energy of
| the then Park Superintendent Y.
Grant Forrer, large sums of money
were subscribed for weekly concerts
at Reservoir Park, but the work of
raising these subscriptions became so
burdensome that those in charge of
the growing park work found it im
possible to continue them, so that dur
ing the past two or three years only
occasional concerts were held. The
people missed this popular and whole
some form of outdoor summer amuse
ment, and they will no doubt be glad
to co-operat© with and support any
movement looking toward their re
sumption.
THE STEEL TRADE
THINGS are looking up in the
iron trade. The United States
Steel Corporation reports an in
crease of unfilled orders to the
amount of 411,92S tons last month,
which was double the quantity that
had been predicted. The corporation
reports that this is the greatest accu
mulation of orders in any one month
since last April and" that the whole
iron and steel industry is showing
signs of improvement daily.
The steel trade has long been re
garded as a barometer of business, i
If It is active the remainder of the
business of the country is extremely
likely to be in the same satisfactory
State. Over 60 per cent..of the ca
pacity of the steel plants of the coun
try are now being operated and when
it is remembered that last December
not more than 40 per cent, capacity
was in operation, the slow but steady
gain may be noted. A continuance of
this increase in two months' time will
see front 70 to 80 per cent, of the
mills active, and while that will not be
up to top notch, yet it will be suffi
cient to send a thrill of business
throughout the land that will do much
toward restoring things to normal in
many lines of industry.
HELP THE POLICE
BY phoning for the police when
he saw a man climbing a back
porch, a Philadelphia suburban
ite assisted in the capture of a
much-sought second-story man.
It is the duty of every citizen to
aid the police wherever possible.
Otherwise good citizens ure sometimes
the slowest to aid justice by appear
ing against wrongdoers. They dislike
publicity. But when appearing at a
hearing for the good of the commun
ity, fear of publicity is nothing more !
nor less than cowardice.
Too many of our good people com
plain because of police inefficiency
who would not turn a hand to aid in
the apprehension of a criminal or help
one whit in putting a stop to a crim
inal practice.
IIE.\I<TH SAFEGUARDS
PASSENGEIiS on interstate vessels
may hereafter drink freely of the
water supplies thereon without
fear. Secretary of the Treasury
W. G. McAdoo is sending out to-day
an amendment to the interstate quar
antine regulations which prohibits
such vessels from serving to their
passengers water from the lake or
stream over which the vessel is being
navigated unless Its purity is assured.
This is a part of the general scheme
which the United States Public Health
Service is putting into operation for
the protection of the health of the
traveling public. Other regulations
have been promulgated in the past
prohibiting the use of common drink
ing cups and common towels upon
interstate trains and at depots, and
requiring the furnishing of pure water
to passengers and employes of com
mon carriers, and requiring the post
ing of warning notices upon recep
tacles containing impure water at or
near railway stations where it might
be used for drinking purposes.
Inasmuch as over sixteen million
people travel every year on thevGreat
Lakes alone, these regulations are hav
ing a most important effect upon the
public health. Not only in that they
prevent passengers from contracting
disease and carrying it to their homes,
but also because such regulations have
a decided educational value. As a re
sult of the regulations requiring the
certification of water supplied on
trains many of the smaller cities of
the United States have made radical
improvements which are a necessary
preliminary to the issuance of a cer
tificate and have demonstrated th<? fact
that many sources of water supply
hitherto regarded as above reproach
have been found to fall far below the
minimum standard of water purity
promulgated by the government Octo
ber 21, 1914.
The importance of these regulations
may be judged from the fact that
nearly every case of typhoid fever re
ported In Harrisburg in the past three
years has resulted from water drunk
at some point outside the city. We
in Harrisburg are spending thousands
of dollars a year to protect our people
from diseases due to impure water
and it is gratifying to note that the
national government is at last awake
to a condition that our local govern
ment recoguized years ago.
FevenTng chat I
The Judges of Dauphin county court
and the members of the bar who At

Dauphin County Bar Association
Monday evening paid a tribute to

upon the screen weft those of Presi-
Kunkel, Additional Law
Judge Mit.arroll—and Mr. Young.
P . : ? rh ,)icture an appropri
ate caption and the lawyers greeted
each slide with vociferous song. The
songs changed to cheering when the

they all swung into "Hello. Davey,
>oure a Friend O' Mine." Beneath
\.?m un £. s P'cture was the caption:
The Man Behind the Bench."
«. ai N employes of the Pennsylvania
Steel Company will miss the monthlv
X!?ki! °f: "Frog Digest." the
publication of which has been sus
pended under the company's recent
economy program. B. A. Hankin, for
many years connected with the Phila
delphia Record, edited the little pa-
P?'" " was tilled with breezy sketches
of happenings about the big steel
| plant that never get into the dailv
papers besides a great many special
articles pertaining to the operation of
the- big plant.
< ongressman B. K. Foeht is making
some interesting comments on things
in Harrisburg in his paper, the Lewis
burg News, these days. This is the
way he discusses a recent legislative
action: "Under the provisions of a
onstitntionai amendment adopted by
a vote of the people of Pennsylvania it
w-as proposed to do away with the
office of Secretary of the Interior,
which was thought to have served its
day of usefulness. But the amend
ment as voted on and carried by the
people had one step further to go,
and that was to be passed a second
time by the Legislature. On Tuesdav
the bill was called up in the Senate,
but did not receive a single vote. So
the Hon. Henry Houck will sit tight on
this job during the term for which he
was elected last Kali. No doubt
Henry said, when he heard of the vote,
Goodness gracious how lucky I am.
It seems I am better off than the fel
low who rushed up to the stamp win
dow in the post office and requested
that the clerk sell him live postal
cards as he wished to write all his
friends. Uncle Henry Houck has an
intection that i:< contagious, something
that radiates and diffuses and kicks
[dull care out of the window and raises
the curtains that admit what is equiva
lent to the glory o the morning—the
cheer and good -vill which only a
true and noble soul could transfuse.
Not one vote against the bill? That
was not it. It was not. one vote
against Henry! There are no votes to
be cast against anything which seems
to be Henry's, especially when the call
to him came through the medium of
the sabred ballot. All hail Henry.
Long may his glorious sunset linger."
Among the visitors to the city yes-'
teida> was the Rev. George Israel'
Browne, former rector of St.
Church, and now rector of St. John's
at Lancaster. He same here to see'
friends and visited the Capitol where!
he ran across >he Rev. C. F. Swift
a former member from Beaver. Mr.
Browne is noted for his strong ideas
and he and the Beaver man ran a tilt.
Ex-Senator James L. Adams, of
Pittsburgh, who was a visitor to the
city this week, is one of the best in
formed men on road improvement
matters in the whole State. He has
made it a study for years and Is prob
ably as well posted as some of the ex- i
perts. Mr. Adams is thinking out)
some of the provisions of the new
highway department atft.
R- kelson Bennett, prominent
" ilkes-Barre city otfleial, was in the
City for the third-class legislative
hearings. He has been active in civic
affairs in Luzerne county for years
and io one of the best-known authori
ties on the business of that great an
thracite district.
Frank "Wert, who started his news
paper career on the Telegraph, and
who was afterward city editor of the
Patriot and connected in an editorial
way with various Philadelphia and
Baltimore newspapers, is making
good as head of the Department of
Public Relations of the Mahoning and
Shenango Railways and Light Com
pany, a corporation operating exten
sively in eastern Ohio and western
Pennsylvania. A part of his duties
consists of editing a monthly publica
tion known as the Em-an-Ess Elec
tric News. The publicatibn shows the
earmarks of Mr. Wert's long experi
ence in newspaper work. It Is bright,
chatty and devoted largely to "safety

best little journals of its kind to reach
the Telegraph exchange desk.
Holler skating appears to have come

DIETING TO KEEP WELL
Some people are born with a tend
ency to certain diseases. What they
eat either aggravates this condition or
tends to correct it .
Anybody can see the Importance of
a proper diet, but human beings, un
like the lower animals, lack the in
stinct that tells them what to eat and ;
what to avoid.
It is a fact that proper diet and a
good tonic will keep people well under
most conditions and restore them to
health except In acute diseases where
the need of a physician is imperative.
Start to-day by writing to the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
N. Y„ for a copy of the diet book,
"What to Eat and How to Eat." It is
full of useful information and describes
the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for indigestion, nervous dys
pepsia, for those conditions of flatu
lency or gas on the stomach, discom- |
fort after eating, caused by lack of
tone in the digestive organs. Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills supply the stomach
with well-oxygenated blood without
which good digestion is Impossible. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are a nonalcoholic
tonic and are free from poisons.
A short course of treatment with
these pills will show in an improved
appetite, better digestion, refreshing
sleep and quiet nerves. Your own
druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
