PENROSE BOOMED
FOR PRESIDENCY
Senator Given Fine Greeting
When He Speaks to Manu
facturers in Rhode Island
Senator Boies Penrose's sweeping
\ictory in his campaign for re-election
as United States Senator last year and
the strength manifested by his friends
in the Republican organization in the
primaries throughout Pennsylvania
have made him more of a national
figure than ever. In Rhode Island on
Saturday he was boomed for Presi
dent of the United States with consid
erable heartiness, although he de
clined, as in various counties in this
State, to note the acclaim given to
him. On the same day in Washing
ton it came out that he was being
seriously considered by men promi
nent in the national councils of the
Republican for the chairman
ship of the national committee, which
will run next year's Presidential cam
paign.
A dispatch from Providence tells of
this greeting for him:
"Senator Boies Penrose was boomed
for President on a protective tariff
platform here Saturday afternoon at a
luncheon attended by more than five
hundred representatives of the textile
industry of New England. There was
a demonstration for the Pennsylvania
Senator when United States Senator
L.lppltt, of Rhode Island, another
speaker of prominence in Republican
politics and the business activities of
this section, praised him as a states
man of the McKinley school of pro
tection to the country's industries. In
his address Senator Penrose attacked
the policies o( the Dejnocratic party
and urged national preparedness, de
claring that there should be a dread
naught for each State. He said noth
ing regarding the Presidency.
"The luncheon was under the direc
tion of the South New England Tex
tile Association, of which 11. C. Dex
ter, Pawtucket. is president. Mr. Dex
ter discussed Senator Penrose's serv
ice in the Senate, and referred to the
fact that as chairman of the Commit
tee on Finance he had led the oppo
sition to the Underwood tariff bill in
the Senate.
"The splendid endorsement given
Senator Penrose by the people of his
State at the election last year places
him in line for the Presidency," said
Mr. Dexter.
"Senator Dippitt referred to Senator
Penrose as sound on the tariff.and a
statesman whose services the country
requires. He also declared that to the
Pennsylvania Senator more than to
any other man, should be given credit
for the defeat of the administration's
shipping bill during the last session of
Congress.
"Senator Penrose, accompanied by
a delegation of manufacturers, visited
several of the textile plants of Provi
dence and Pawtucket. He also visited
the State House and other public
buildings." (
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
WHEAT CROP GOES
OVER 1914 MARK
Interesting Figures Issued on
the Production in Pennsylva
nia by State Official
In spite of unfavorable weather,
shortage of harvest hands and the rav
ages of the Hessian fly the wheal
crop of the Keystone State will run
ahead of that of last year which was
one of the record-breaking. The crop
estimated by L. H. Wible, chief of the
Department of Agriculture's bureau of
statistics, shows 24.925.000 bushels or
19 bushels to the acre. This estimate
is conservative, made from first hand
reports received since the last week
of September and from districts where
threshing has largely been completed.
The crop last year was 24,200,000
bushels.
The quality of the wheat as well as
rye and oats is a little below the aver
age condition. This is due to the wet
weather that prevailed at harvest time
and while much of the grain was
standing in the tields. It was feared
at that time that the damage would
be greater. Less than two per cent,
of the 1914 wheat is now in the pro
ducers' hands. The price last winter
and Spring was too attractive to per
mit much wheat being held.
The total production of rye is esti
mated at 4,6 72,000 bushels or 90.000
bushels less than last year. The pro
duction will be 17.2 bushels per acre,
the acreage being three per cent, less
than in 1914.
Oats will far exceed the production
of 1914. The estimate of the 1915
yield is 43,095,000 bushels against 31,-
117,000 last year. The average is 39
bushels per acre. The corn crop, how
ever, will be less than last year when
the yield was 58,520,000 bushels. The
yield per acre will be 34.6 bushels.
Sixteen per cent, of the crop was cut
for ensilage. Storms damaged the
corn crop 10 per cent. Buckwheat is
estimated at 4,990,000 bushels, an
average of IS bushels to the acre.
This is a decline from last year.
The potato crop was badly affected
bv the weather and there will be only
75 per cent, of the average yield, the
estimate being 18,042,000 bushels or
66 bushels to the acre. Last year the
yield was 106 bushels to the acre.
Tobacco acreage is given as 5 per
cent, smaller than last year with an
estimate for 1915 of 1267 pounds to
the acre or a total production of 39,-
910,000 pounds, a decrease of 8,000,-
000 pounds.
The fruit yields are given as below
normal, apples showing only 75 per
cent, of the average crop. Prices of
peaches and pears are given as less
than lost year. •
Owing to heavy rains it is stated
that the pasture lands are in splendid
condition, which will enable livestock
to start the winter in fine state.
CELKBRATE ST. LIKES DAY
St. Luke's Day, to-day. was cele
brated by Bishop Darlington with
services in neighboring churches. Yes
terday he celebrated holy communion
and preached at St. Luke's church,

services were held at St. I-.uke"s
church, Alt. Joy. The Hev. Lewis

BUTCHERS MEET
ON WEDNESDAY
200 Expected to Attend Con
ference in City Council
Chamber
At least 200 butchers and farmers
who sell meats in the five city mar
kets. have been invited to a confer
ence to be held by the city health au
thorities in the city council chamber
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
This meeting has been called to give
the meat dealers a chance to obtain all
the information about the require
ments in the new State meat bygiene
law prohibiting dealers from permit
ing prospective customers to handle
meats for sale, and demanding that
the products be kept screened from
insects.
At the session all of the dealers will
be given a chance to ask questions and
exchange views on the subject, Dr. J.
M. J. Raunick, city health officer, said
this morning. Dr. Rannick is no\v
considering a plan to have all of the
meat dealers in each market house
occupy a certain section equipped for
that purpose.
Permanent plans will be made Wed
nesday for the protection of the meat
and at that time all of the dealers will
be asked to tell how they think the
requirements can best be obeyed. Sev
eral dealers in the city have already
fixed their stands temporarily. Dr.
Raunick said that morning that sev
eral meat dealers suggested hailing a
few supports in front of the stalls and
then placing mosquito netting over the
stand. This plan Dr. Raunick said
would not be satisfactory. He will ad
vocate ;• fixed method to be used by all
dealers who sell meat, in order to com
ply fully with the new act.
A PROPOSAL TO INUNDATE
THE HOLY LAND
Travelers in the Holy Land journey
ing northward along the beaten track
from Samaria to Nazareth must cross
the Plain of Esdraelon. called also the
Plain of Jezreel. and almost invariably
pass |he ancient site of the city of
Jezreel. A little north of the present
village (Zer'in) a deep valley slopes
downward to the Jordan, and through
this valley runs the railroad between
Haifa and Damascus. It was once
proposed to cut a canal from the Medi
terranean to the Jordan Valley, filling
up the trough of the Dead Sea and
paralleling the Suez Canal by a sec
ond route. If such a project were ever
carried out the inner or eastern end of
the canal would be within a mile or
so of Jezreel.
The same stream that would have
turned Naboth's vineyard into a "gar
den of herbs" for Ahab's delight now
waters fig orchards and forms a little
oasis among the mounds of rubbish
which cover the ancient site.—Chris

WATCH CHILDREN
SAYS DR. DIXON
Little Indispositions May Lead
to Serious Illnesses Warns
the Commissioner
A day in school when a child is
half sick may result in serious illness
and indisposition of children should be
watched in cder to head off the com
municable diseases to which children
are liable, says Dr. Samuel G. Dixon,
State Commissioner of Health, in bis
weekly health talk. He warns that
other children are likely to be exposed
and that parents should note health
conditions when children complain.
Dr. Dixon says:
"School authorities are naturally
anxious to secure regularity of attend
ance on the part of the scholars and
many parents feel that they are simply
doing their duty in forcing children
to go to school who complain of not
feeling well. It is much better for a
child to lose an occasional day's
schooling than to risk bringing on an
illness and exposing others.
"Children's recuperative powers,
generally speaking, are superior to
those of older people. Proper rest
and care will often ward off serious
illness, but this requires care and in
sight on the part of the parents, as the
children themselves are not apt to call
attention to their condition until they
become seriously ill.
"Loss of appetite, feverishness, lassi
tude. discoloration of the eyes, are all
indications which should be watched
at- symptoms of indisposition.
"The work which children lose In the
schools they can make up far more
readily than what they lose In health.

A NERVINE TONIC
In many severe nervous disorders
the best remedy is often a tonic. The
most active toniff treatment is recom
mended by the highest medical au
thority to arrest the progress of such
diseases.
It is impossible to reach the nerves
directly with medicine. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are a nervine tonic but they
act on the nerves through the blood,
enabling the blood to carry to the
nerves the elements needed to build
them up.
Neuralgia, sciatica, sick headache
and a number of more severe nervous
troubles are properly treated by build
ing up the blood with Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills and are often entirely cor
rected in this way.
If you are nervous you can help
yourself by refusing to worry, by tak
ing proper rest, sleep and vacations,
by avoiding excesses and by taking
out-of-door exercise. For medicine
take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the non
alcoholic tonic.
Sufferers from nervous disorders
who have been taking treatment with
out benefit should investigate the
tonic method. Write to-day to the
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenec
tady. N. Y., for the booklet, "Diseases
of the Nervous System." It will bo
sent free on request.

iams' Pink Pills or they will be sent
