A telephone call came to a well

the Harrisburg S. P. C. A. The mes
sage was that unless the company
blanketed Its horses by afternoon the

once the Society Headquarters was
called up for an explanation. None
could be given. No one had called
from the office, nor had the agent nor
any of the members given any such

It was a piece of petty spite work,
cloaking itself in legitimate guise.
The company—which takes good
care of its horses —was appeased but
the S. P. C. A. was not. Theirs is not
an underhand, anonymous way of do
ing business. When there is com

in this community and in neighboring
counties.
The Worcester S. P. C. A. last win
ter did a splendid work In bird protec
tion that Harrisburgers might well
copy. Boy Scouts distributed bird
food in the outskirts of the city aa
far as ten miles, also placed grain in
the bird houses which the society has
set up in different sections. Many
hundreds of pounds of grain were
given free by the merchants, who
were tendered a vote of thanks for
their hearty co-operation with the
humane work.
A practical winter work of S. P. C.
A. in different cities where the win
ters are severe is to station watchers
at the foot of steep and slippery grades
to warn drivers. In many instances
the roads, where particularly bad,
were sanded, and in certain very dan
gerous spots the watchers were lo
cated at a point where teams could be
directed to safer side streets. Har
risburg's many miles of paved streets
become very slippery in icy weather
and householders can do a splendid
anticruelty work if they report dan
gerous spots to the S. P. C. A.

Saloniki, Greece. Dec. 9 (corre- i
spondence of tne Associated Press). —
The camp of the British Mediter
ranean expeditionary force lies to the
west of Saloniki—or Thesaloniki, as
the Greeks have it—among the rolling
foothills of Mount Kortchou. Al
though a very considerable force has
already left for Dolran, on the Serb-
Bulgarian frontier, there are still some
11,000 men gathered in the camp.
The first lot of British troops landed
in Greece were Irish, as the command
ing officer, General Sir Bryan Mahan,
is Irish. They were what was left of
the Irish division sent out to Gallipoli,
whence they came on to Saloniki. But,
as the general told the Associated
Press: "They are not as Irish as they
were." "Not," he added, "that they
are any less Irish—only there are
fewer of them." For a great many
were killed, wounded and taken pris
oner in Gallipoli, and have been re
placed by what material was at hand.
Whatever they are, they are beyond
any doubt content to leave Gallipoli.
The climate of Saloniki is nothing to
boast of at this season. It rains every
day. The rough, badly paved streets
are muddy and *full of chuck holes.
The roads—such as they are—are
knee-deep in mud. Flour is scarce
and the food Is bad and dear. The
price of everything has gone up three
times since the arrival of the foreign
troops. A British sovereign, for the
first time in its life in a bankrupt
country like Greece, is worth less than
its face value in local money. While
French is fairly current as a language,
English is not spoken at all. Yet
despite all of these mateiai drawbacks,
the British Tommy in his camp out
side Saloniki is so delighted to escape
the heat, the flies, the unslaked thirst
and the stenches of Gallipoli that he
finds Macedonia a sort of paradise by
comparison.
Through Tdrkish Quarter
The road from the harbor to his
camp lies through the old Turkish
Quarter of the town, at a steep angle
up narrow, winding streets. From
almost every house hangs a projecting
second story in which the latticed win
dows of the haremlik do not always
conceal the eager, curious, unveiled |
faces of Turkish women watching the
passage to and fro of so many strange
soldiers. Shops open their whole
fronts direct onto the street. The
shoemaker or tinsmith sits, cross
legged, at his work in what would be
the show window. The camp-bound
Tommy, like everyone else, is forced
to bargain for his purchases from the
sidewalk —a proceeding which does not
Improve the already badly jumbled
traffic arrangements. At the bakeries
there is always a mob of clamoring
humanity, struggling for the chance
to buy the round, fiat loaves of black
bread, made with fourth-grade flou:
the only flour available—of which
there is never enough to supply the
current daily needs of the inhabitants
of Saloniki, the refugees and the Greek
army. The foreigners bring their own
food with them: if they did not they
would run serious risks of starvation.
Kasy to Get I.ost
At every cross road the returning
Tommy loses himself in a dense crowd
of Greek soldiers, so slight in compari
son with the stocky, deep-chested
French, so diminutive in comparison
with the tall, wiry British. The Greeks
seem to be gathered just where the
foreign soldiers must pass in going to
and from camp. Whether the purpose
be to give the Greeks an object lesson
in soldierly bearing or to impress the
allies with the number of Greeks, is
not clear. Greek army packmules
choke the way at every turn. The
streets are scarcely passable. The
noise, the confusion, tl a mixture of
half a dozen strangers—all of this in
contrast to the silence and the patter
ing of the wind-blown sand in the
desert land of Gallipoli enchants the
British Tommy. He is as one intoxi
cated with a revelation that there is
still normal life in the world.
Finally the way to the camp leaves

Physicians the world over recom
mend the Inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more importance than out

pores do not absorb Impurities into
the blood, causing ill health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in It, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous day's indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and tox
ins; thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so hot water ana
limestone phosphate act on the ellm

Those who wake up with bad
breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or
have a dull aching head, sallow com

subject to bilious attacks or consti
pation, should obtain a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate at the
drug store. This will cost very little
but is sufficient to demonstrate the
value of Inside bathing. Those who
continue it each morning are assured

the town between the high walls of
twin burial grounds—one Jewish, the
other Greek. A little farther on Is the
old TurKish cemetery. But the Turks
are no longer masters of Macedonia.
The headstones of their graves are
scattered and broken; the graves
themselves no longer marked. The
i cemetery has become the corral of
hundreds of Greek army mules —the
dusty, unwatered cypresses shade the
mule drivers rather than the tombs of
the Mussulman dead, their faces
toward the East. Close by a long
series of barracks built of brick shel
ters tens of thousands of refugees from
Macedonia and Thrace and from Ser
bia. the derelicts of war.
The road in the open country be
comes an incredible succession of mud
holes along which swing columns of
broad-shouldered, blue-clad French
men making their way to their own
camp lying to the south of the British
compound. Trains of supply wagons,
officers' automobiles, motor trucks, or
"lorries," as the English call them,
force Tommies and "poilus" alike into
the soggy .fields. Two huge tractors
draw each a gray-painted French
4-inch long-range gun, on whose muz
zles are painted their names. One is
"Boche Chaser," the other is "Death
Spltter."
Along the road hundreds of itinerant
vendors of everything portable set up
improvised stands in the fields.
Neckties, hot chestnuts, suspenders,
writing paper, raw shrimps, socks,
sweetmeats, fortunes told, photographs
taken—and bang! goes Tommy's pay.
Enterprising Semitic merchants have
even Installed barrels of beer in the
fields as stations of refuge for the
thirsty soldier too long on the way.
Beggars, of course—cripples, little
girls in tattered, hollow-cheeked mis
ery, the old of every race and kind.
Finally the tent city asppears, seem
ing to cover unending acres of hill
tops. The road ana a stream separate
the French from the British. Along
the stream the British Tommies kneel,
washing their clothes against the rocks
as any French washwoman might.
Where the stream trickles over a live
foot rock, making a meager waterfall,
a number of men. stark In the chill
air, are bathing. Halfway up a slope
a squad of signal men are doing drill.
The flapping of their flugs In the sharp
wind can be heard In the valley like a
volley of far-away rifle shots. Below
them a company Is lined up for inspec
tion. each man's roll spread out on
the grass while the sergeant goes
through the equipment to see that all
Is there. For the Greeks say that
thirsty Tommy sometimes parts with
his water bottle or his extra pair of
shoes in return for refreshments.

squad of men are going through the
: exercises--"to the beggars fit."

returning from route march. They
might be at Aldershot. They turn out
to pass a hollow where half a dozen
men are cursing earnestly over the'
vagaries of four sheet Iron boxes cun- 1
r.ingly put together in a compact i
square to form a very successful stove,
whence comes the smell of roasting
mutton. Near. at hand, before the
butcher's tent, a line of new-killed j
hogs hung up by the heels are drip- i
ping still.
From time to time smart officers, j
with red tabs on their ccrtlars to indi
cate that they belong to the staff,
plunge over the edge of a miniature
cllft toward the camp stables. wher&
the horses are picketed In the open.
As they ride off toward the outlying
hills they pass through a cloud of
acrid smoke coming from a sort of
cairn in which the camp refuse is
burning.
Atop of one hill is a flagpole with
the flag of the Red Cross—the camp
hospital, presided over by a gray med
ical colonel of gentle manners and an
air of wonder and bewilderment at
I finding himself so far away from Eng

In rows on the hillside, as children
playing at housekeeping mark the
walls of the rooms. Within these
bounds are medical tents, hospital
tents, dispensary, operating tents—all
the paraphernalia of caring for the
sick and wounded.
Soldiers Pouring In
Oil the opposite hill are the staff
tents, with a stamp on the canvas that
shows them to be from India. If
there are not enough benches for offi
cers and guests, someone sits on one
upturned box. The food is largely
tinned—the Greeks have scarcely :
enough to supply their own soldiers, :
much less the foreigner on their soil.
Every day more transports arrive,
pouring out their soldiers—Greek,
Fench, British. Horses, kicking help
lessly, are lifted bodily from the en
trails of the ship. Wagons, cannon,
ammunition cases, stores—all clutter
the quals. Silently the French slip up
the railway line to the front, scarcely
before one can realize that they have
arrived. This camp does not grow
much. But the British camp for all .
