20 An Ideal Remedy for Nursin Compound of Simple Laxative Herbs Safe For Baby and Mother. Constipation is a condition that af fects the old. young and middle-aged, and most people at one time or an other need help in regulating the action of the bowels. Harsh cathartics and purgatives should not be employed to t relieve constipation, as their effect Is' only temporary while they shock the system unnecessarily. A remedy that can be used with per fect safety for the Uniest babe and j that Is equally effective for the strong- : est constitution is found in the com- ' hination of simple laxative herbs! known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin j «nd sold In drug stores everywhere i for fifty cents a bottle.

The schedule of amendments of 1909 refers to the municipal officers elected in odd numbered years. Mayor Royal was elected in February, 1911, and took his office in April of the same year for a three-year term. Another amendment, however, al lowed the extension of his term for a little more than four years—in other words until the first Monday of De cember, 1915. And the Clark act provides that the mayor of any third class city shall take his seat on the first Monday of January. If this contention should hold good -—and in the opinion of many of the attorneys of the Dauphin county bar, the question should only be settled by the courts —City Council must pro vide for the contingency before it goes out of office. The question of whether City Coun cil could, under the circumstances, hold a special election to till the va cancy. has been suggested by some lawyers, but this has not been de cided. The opinion seems to prevail that if Mayor Royal loses his job for a month, his work will be taken care of by his four fellow members. The Treasurer Tangle While the same situation as to Mr. Copelin's successor exists, another p"hase of the city treasurership hinges upon the relative language of the act of 1901, the school code and the Clark act. The act of 1901 provides that the city treasurer of any third class city shall be ex-officio collector of the city, school and poor taxes. The school code provides that the school board may elect its own treasurer, but that it also may designate someone, either the school treasurer or anyone else to collect the school taxes —provided no city treasurer is elected. Mr. Cope lin. the courts recently decided, hav ing been elected by the people, can serve as school and city tax collector. The Clark act provides that the city treasurer shall be elected by the City Council. How. it is pointed out in school and city circles to-day. can the new city treasurer act as collector of school taxes, since he will not be chosen by the people directly, but by Council? Furthermore, if this pro vision of the 1901 act is applicable to the collection of school taxes, does it not hold true of both city and poor taxes? In other words, wondering munici pal circles wanted to know to-day, can the new city treasurer by law serve as collector of either city or school taxes?

NEW COURTHOUSE AND CITY HALL URGED [Continued From First Page.] might become possible, according to Conimissioner-elect Wells. "For many years Harrisburg has not been represented by two county commissioners," said Sheriff Wells to day, "and the fact that the people de cided to place two members from the city on the county board, is an indica tion to my mind that the taxpayers of the county all want to see the county and city offices comhined in a modern fireproof building that will centralize the public's business. Great Saving In Kn.l The saving to the taxpayers would be great in the end because rents and so on need not be paid out. For in stance there Is the house of detention far away from the city. Ample ac commodations for 'he youngsters could he provided for in a new build ing and these could be fed from the kitchens in the jail. If these quarters could be provided I would suggest that a gymnasium of some sort for the recreation of the little folks could be added. "Three court rooms are necessarv for handling the business of the coun ty and a modern spacious structure would permit this. They should be placed on the top floor and the other offices grouped on the lower floors with an eye to the convenience of the public. Quick elevator service would bring the top floors comparativelv nearer the streets. "As to costs, this would have to be divided between the county and the city and in view of the fact that the county owns this site, I should think this item could be considered in pro portioning the shares. Harrisburg. T presume would have to float a loan for the purpose. Of course this is a question, more or less of the future, but T mean to present the subject for consideration early In the new year.'

LIBERTY BELL TO RETURN SOON Councilmanic Committee Starts From Philadelphia For San Franeisco By Associated Press Philadelphia. Nov. s.—The council manic committee which will escort the Liberty Bell home from the Panama- Pacific Exposition left here to-day In a special train for San Francisco, where It is due to arrive next Tuesday afternoon. United States Senator Pen rose Is a merrjber °r Party and will be one of the orators of the Philadelphia delegation where ad dtesses are made at the many stops on the return journey. According to the present plans, next "Wednesday will be Liberty Bell fare well day at the exposition, as the relic I is due to leave San Francisco the next day. The bell will arrive at the Panama-California Exposition at San Diego Friday morning and will remain there until midnight Saturday. It Is due in I<os Angeles Monday morning. November 15. for a seven-hour stop. On the journey east the special train will make many stops in Arizona, New i Mexico, Texas. Louisiana, Mississippi. Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Illi nois, Indiana. Ohio, New York, New Jersey and in Pennsylvania. There were so many requests for a vim of the bell from New York State that the committee at the last mo ment changed its itinerary and instexd of having the bell come directly east from Pittsburgh the route was changed so that it will go north from Western Pennsylvania to Buffalo, across New York to Albany and then down the Delaware valley to this city. It will arrive in Philadelphia on Thanksgiv ing Day. There will be a fitting wel come home celebration. Th" journey of the bell to and from the Pacific Coast will cost the city of Philadelphia about $75,000. BRYAN AGAINST" WILSON'S PLANS [Continued Krotn First Pngr.) Congress against adoption of the plan. Mr. Bryan's statement says: "We Cannot Criticise" "I have read the President's speech at New York with sorrow and con- I cern. He Is doing what he believes to | be his duty, and so long as a man fol lows his conscience and judgment we cannot criticise his motives, but we may be compelled to dissent from his conclusions. I feel it my duty to dis sent. and as he has given his views with clearness and emphasis, those who differ from hint are under a like obligation to express themselves with equal clearness. "He says that his position is differ ent from that of the private individual in that the individual is free to speak his own thoughts and risk his own opinion. This sentence Is a little ob scure. Insofar as he expresses his own opinion, he does not differ from the private citizen except that he speaks under a sense of official respon sibility, but where a nation's fate is involved in a policy every private citi zen who loves his country and tries to serve It is conscious of responsibility. The President will not assume that he Is more deeply Interested In the wel fare of his country than the millions who elected him to be, for the time be ing, their spokesman. And if, as he evidently believes, he is giving voice to the opinions of his countrymen, he Is, of course, anxious to have them be as frank with him as he has been with them—how otherwise can he know whether he represents or misrepre sents their views? New Policy Announced "He has announced a policy which has never before been adopted in this country, and never endorsed by any party in the country, and he has no way of knowing until he hears from the people whether he has correctly interpreted the will of the public. His appeal is not to any party, but. as he says, to men of 'all shades of opinion." He asks for the hearty support of the country, meaning, of course, that he wants the support, provided the people favor the policy which he has outlined. He could not. of course, ask them to support a policy which they did not. endorse, especially if they considered the policy dangerous to the country. "From my view of the subject, the plan as he proposes is not only a de parture from our traditions, hut a re versal of our national policy. It Is not only a menace to o'ur peace and safety, but a challenge to the spirit of Christianity which teachers us to in fluence others by example rather than by exciting fear. "The President says that we should be prepared 'not for aggression, but for defense.' That Is the ground upon which all preparation for war is made. Vi'hat nation has ever prepared for war on the theory that It was pre paring for aggression? It Is only fall to assume that the European rulers who are involved In the present war thought that they were contributing toward the maintenance of peace when they were making elaborate prepa rations for defense. It is a false phi losophy. and. being false, it Inevitably leads into difficulties. The spirit that makes the individual carry a revolver —and whoever carries a revolver ex cept for defense?—leads him not only to use it on slight provocation, but to use language which provokes trouble. 'Speak softly, but carry a big stick." Is one of the delusive maxims employed by those who put their faith In force. There are two answers to it—first, the man who speaks softly has not the dis position to carry a club, and if a man with a soft voice is persuaded to carry a olub his voice changes soon as he begins to rely upon the club. "Wliy Reverse Our Policy?" "If there is any truth in our religion, a nation must win respect as an indi vidual docs, not by carrying arms, but by an upright. honorable course that Invite confidence and insures good will. This nation has won its position in the world without resorting to the habit of toting a pistol or carrying a club. Why reverse our policy at this time? The President himself admits there is no reason for a change. He says: " "The country is not threatened from any quarter. She stands In friendly relations with all the world. Her resources and her self-respect and capacity to care for her own citizens and rights are well known." And to make the statement more emphatic, he adds: There |s no fear among us." Questions for Wilson "If we're not threatened by anv i nation. If our relations with all nations are friendly, if everybody knows that we're able to defend ourselves. If nec essary. and if there is no fear among us, why Is this time chosen to revo lutionize our national theories and to exchange our policy for the policy of Europe? Wh}' abandon the hope that we have so long entertained of setting an example to Europe? Why encour ags the nations of Europe in their fatal folly by imitating them? Why Impose upon the Western Hemisphere a policy so disastrous? May we not expect all Latin America to be stimu lated to preparation If we enter upon a new era of preparation? And will not such a policy make conflicts between these republics more probable? We shall do infinite harm to the neighbor ing nations as well as to ourselves if we are drawn Into this policy whlc.i provokes war by a preparation which i<s impor lble without a large Increase Parlor and Library Suites A large section of our second floor is devoted to parlor and library suites.

We are ROW spending more than $250,000,000 a year on pre paredness—ten times as much as we are spending on agriculture—and I feel sure that the taxpayers are not in favor of increasing this sum at this time when a change is not only un necessary, but a menace to our na tional ideals. "There has not been a time in fifty years when there was less reason to add to the expense of the army and navy, for we are not only without an enemy, but our preparedness Is In creasing relatively as other nations ex haust themselves. And there never was a time, and there never has been a time, in our whole history when our duty to the world more imperatively demanded self-restraint and the coun sels of peace.

TELEPHONE CO. BOUGHT IN BY BONDHOLDERS [Continued From First Page.] point was reached when it was seen that it would again be profitable to the holders of the securities. Earning* Increased Since January 1, 1912, the earnings increased steadily with rehabilitation of plants over the entire territory. Mr. Tracy attributes a full measure of the company's success to the operating manager. Cameron L. Boer and the district managers located at Lewis town, Hanover, Carlisle, Hagerstown, Chambersburg and Martlnsburg, W. Va. Mr. Tracy found It necessary to at once rebuild the toll lines radiating from Harrisburg and also to replace obsolete switchboards and telephones with equipment of the highest and most modern type. This has been done out of the earnings of the various plants and practically with out borrowing capital. It is understood there is to be no change in this policy and that the organization, as now constituted, will undergo little if any change. New Plants Installed Under the receivers new plants were installed at Mechanicsburg, Carlisle, Shippensburg, Newville, Gettysburg-, Hagerstown, Martinsburg, W. V., Wiiliamsport, Md., Steelton, and Hunimelstown. In addition tho toll lines from to Win chester were rebuilt, as well as toll lines between Chambersburg, Hanover and Gettysburg. During the receiver ship of Mr. Tracy the Eastern Penn sylvania Independent Telephone Asso ciation was organized. This associa tion includes all independent com panies east of Altoona, comprising in its membership the big Keystone Tele phone Co., Philadelphia; Consolidated Telephone Co., with headquarters at Hazleton; United Telephone & Tele graph Co., with headquarters in tho C'alder Building in Market Square; the York Telephone & Telegraph Co., with headquarters at York; the Columbia Telephone Co., and scores of smaller companies who took ad vantage of the opportunity to join with their fellow independents in pro tecting themselves agaiwit the en croachments of powerful Interests. The president Is Charles A .Carl, gen eral manager of the United Co., of this city, Mr. Carl having succeeded Mr. Tracv at the semi-annual meeting. O. K. Kines. auditor of the Cumberland Vtlley Telephone Co., Is secretary and treasurer of the organization. Necessary steps will now be taken to have the sale of the property con firmed by the Dauphin county court and the receivership ended in the United States District court. With (ho new capital available under the plan of reorganization the Cumberland Val ley will become a big factor in the in dependent telephone business In this territory, its officials predict.

Va.. and other points for a little rest. Mayor-elect Ezra S. Meals talked on the possible reapportionment of the City Council when It reorganizes the llrst Monday of January, 1916. Dr. Meals says he believes the re arrangement of the offices in such a way as to give City Commissioner Wil liam L Gorgas jurisdiction of the park department and Commissioner-elect E. Z. Gross the control of the financial de partment, would work out nicely. "The office of superintendent of finance has less to do perhaps than any other Commissioner under this form of government. He'll have still less after the first of the year because we'll have a City Controller. The City Treasurer attends to the collection and disbursements, the City Assessors levy the tax. Now what will he have to do? "As for the park department I think that Mr. Gorgas Is an older and more experienced man. a man of property, and therefore Inclined to be more con servative than a younger man who rep resents no large amount of property. Such a man Is evidently what the peo ple prefer. He will be an Ideal man for the place I should think. "As for the police department." con cluded the Mayor, "we must have good policemen." Penrose Here on Way to Exposition United States Senator Boies Penrose was here for about ten minutes to-day on his way to Fan Francisco with the Philadelphia delegation which will bring home the Liberty Bell. The Senator was visited In his car at Union Station by a number of peo ple. including officials, and ex pressed himself as entirely satisfied vlth the result of the election and that it was significant of Republican suc cess. He said that he was going to take the trip for a change and that he vould meet the Western people.
