SAYS BliDf IS A
POISON FACTORY
Urges everyone to drink glass of
hot water before
breakfast.
Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
tieliind a certain amount of incom
liustile material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal
a certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which If not completely elimi
nated from the system each day, be
comes food for' the millions of bac
teria which infest the bowels. From
1 his mass of left-over waste, toxins
and ptomaine-like poisons are formed
and sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate In it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous
day's accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire ailmon
tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, billiousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,'
foul breath, backache, rheumatic
Htiffness, or have a sour, gassy stom
ach after meals, are urged to got a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store, and begin prac
ticing internal sanitation. This will
cor.t very little, but is sufficient to
make anyone an enthusiast on the
subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be
cause the akin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing
poor health, while the bowel poros do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
ait on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels.—Advertisement.
The True
Christmas Spirit
is making others happy.
There are many needy fam
ilies in this city whose
Christmas will be happy if
they are given a sensible and
useful gift of coal to keep
them warm.
Such a gift will reflect the
true Christmas spirit.
Remember those who are
less fortunate than our
selves.

MONDAY EVENING,
"Boys, do you ramember the big
convenUon hall I showed you in Chi
cago, last summer, when we made our
vacation trip?" asked Uncle Harry.
"Yes, indeed," Bald Jimmy.
"You mean where the candidates for
President are nominated?" said Joe.
'That's the place, boys." said Uncle
Harry. "That hall is big enough to
hold thousands of people, and when
a man makes a speech from the plat
form, at one of the conventions, he
is speaking to about as big an audl
wrrw
a 3QUTH amcwcan rcottXs. J
ence as ever gets together in one
building. But even an audience big
enough to till that hall would be only
a handful compared to the size of the
audience to which President Wilson
made a speech the other day."
"Do you mean when the President
spoke to the businessmen in Colum
bus?" asked Jimmy.
"No, no," said Uncle Harry, "The
audience 1 am thinking of numbered
about 100,000,000 people; yes, and a
good many more who live outside of
the United States. Why—"
"I know, Uncle Harry—l know!"
shouted Joe. "You mean the Presi
dent's message to Congress, don't
you ?"
| "Oh, yes, tell us about the mes
sage," said Jiminj'. "You promised
you would."
"AH right, boys. I'll be glad to ex
plain Mr. Wilson's ideas and what he
wants Congress to do. 1 referred to
all the people of the United States
as the President's audience because
every one in this country, and many
people in the European and South
American couitrles were anxious to
learn what Mr. Wilson had to say and
were 'listening' with their 'eyes to the
newspapers' the day the message was
delivered."
"Perhaps the most important part
of the message was what the Presi
dent said about increasing the size
of the army and navy, and the hope
he expressed that the United States
and the republic of Central Amer
ica and South America would become
even more friendly than they had
been in the past—most like brother
nations, and that Congress should do
everything in its power to increase
this friendly feeling.
"Now about the army and navy.
The President recommended to Con
gress that the regular United States
Army be increased from 107,000 men
and officers to 141,843, and that a sort
of voluteer army of trained citizens
be raised. The plan for this latter
army is that 133,000 soldiers bo raised
each year, for three years, making a
total of 400,000 men in 1918 or 1919,
if Congress passes the law. These
citizen-soldiers wili spend several
months a year in training, for three
years, and for three years afterwards
they will agree to join the army in
HOG CHOLERA IS
ON THE DECLINE
State Authorities Show That
There Has Been a Big D
crease in the State
Hog cholera, which in years gone
by caused loss of many thousands of
dollars In Pennsylvania, is declared by
officials of the State Livestock Sani
tary Board to be under better control
than ever before and this situation
prevails in the face of the fact that
there has been a pronounced increase
in raising of swine in this State in the
last few years and that the destructive
disease has been unusually prevalent
in other parts of the country.
The latest report shows 175 premises
under quarantine against 268 at the
same time last year, which was a low
figure. These cases are distributed
over thirty- seven counties and in a
number of instances the quarantines
will be raised by the first of the year.
| a statement by the Department of
Agriculture says "The department
feels that considering the increased
number of hogs In Pennsylvania, the
late butchering season due to the mild
weather and the fact that hog cholere
is quite prevalent throughout hog rais
ing States that the losses in this State
will be relatively smaller than they
have been for years."
During the past month quarantines
were raised on premises where cholera
had been stamped out in the following
counties: Carbon, Center, Crawford.
Lackawanna, Lycoming, Perry and
| Union.
New cases were reported in the fol
lowing counties: McKean, Elk, Hunt
ingdon, Beaver, Butler and Lawrence.
There are now thirty-seven counties
in which one or more premises are
quarantined as follows: Allegheny,
Beaver, Bedford, Berks, Blair, Bucks,
Cambria, Chester, Cumberland. Dau
phin, Delaware, Elk, Fayette, Frank
lin, Greene, Indiana, Huntingdon, Jef
feraon, Lawrence, Lebanon, Lehigh,
Mercer, Mifflin, McKean, Montgomery,

parture. Sorry you missed Ford peace
| ship. Yours urgently, Watson."
"Hello. Sherlock!" called out a little
brunette as fhe passed me in Market
street Saturday night. To be candid
about it, she nearly knocked me oft
my feet with surprise. How the idea
ever trickled through her pretty head
that I was the man, I can't tell.,
Every time I see a baby carriage I
want to say "scat." I well remember
in Jacksonville, Fla., when a. couple
of women pushing baby carriages ran
me down on the principal street of the
city and won $25 for their trouble.
Now I come along to Harrisburg and
a lady pushes a baby carriage up
against me and the worst part of It
was I sat on a baby. Awfully sorry,
but the "precious dear" was too fat
anyway. This Happened In one of
your department stores.
"Watch me lamp that pin If he
event of war. So If his plan la made
into & law the United St&tea will, in
a few years have a citizen array of
800,000 that can be called Into ser
vice In the event of war. This is what
the newspapers are referring to aa 'the
Continental Army.'
"The President's suggestions about
increasing the navy, If approved by
Congress, would provide by 1921; 27
first-class battleships, 6 battle cruis
ers, 2D second-clasN battleships, 10
armored crulßers, 12 acout cruisers, 5
flrst-claaa cruisers, 3 second-class
cruisers, 10 third-class cruisers, 108
torpedoboat destroyers, 18 fleet sub
marines, 167 coast submarines, 6
monitors, 20 gunboats, and 36 supply
and hospital ships. Of course the
number of sailors and officers will
have to be Increased enough to man
these new vessels.
"The President also called these
subjects to the attention of the Con
gressmen and asked that they be care
fully considered; plans to raise the
millions of dollars needed to pay for
the increase in the army and navy;
assistance that the National Govern
ment may give the businessmen of the
country in building fleets of steam
ships to carry manufactured goods and
food supplies that are sold to South
America and other parts of the world;
new arrangement of the laws for the
Philippines and Porto Rico so that the
people of the«e island possessions may
have more self-government like the
people of the United States; and new
laws that will provide for the punish
ment of people living in the United
Stu.tes«that try to destroy property, in
their efforts to help other countries
that are at war with still other coun
tries, but at peace with the United
States. That refers to the attempts
made to burn and blow up factories
that were making war supplies for the
allies' armies. The President also ex
plained this country's attitude toward
Mexico by saying that the war in that
country was an affair of the Mexican
people and that the United States
could not, if it believed in justice and
liberty, take advantage of Mexico
when that country was having so
much trouble recently.
"Finally, boys, President Wilson
pointed out that the United States was
in no danger of war, and that his rec
ommendations to increase the army
and navy wero made simply to pro
vide the country with protection in the
event of trouble."
"What did the Congressmen do
about the President's suggestions?"
asked Joe.
"They will be busy all winter dis
cussing and considering new laws and
next week I'll tell you how Congress
works; I'll explain how a new law i 3
made."

comes in our store." That is the way
a fellow expressed himself to his com
panion this morning while looking at
the duplicate scarf pin in the P. G.
Diener jewelry store window. By the
way, this is the time of the year most
people buy jewelry, and those who
want generous values will find Diener's
stock covers all that is desirable where
quality is wanted. This Is a one price
store all the year. The crystal room
has the finest display of cut glass I
ever saw in any store.
I wonder if the young man in a Sec
ond street grocery store remembers
selling a man a bag of nuts Saturday
and was told at the time the purchase
was for the squirrels in the Capitol
grounds.
Some girl was made happy Saturday
and I would give a nickel to have been
there when she opened that box of
flowers. I was in the Bouquet Shop
when the order was given for a cor
sage bouquet made of sweetheart
roses. You know this flower shop
makes a specialty of corsage bouquets
of sweetheart roses or violets. The
Bonnie Scotch heather is another
pretty flower they are having a run on
just now.
She was dressed in a blue suit
trimmed in fur and carried a book
and a pleasant smile. She spoke to
; ome fellow this morning coming out
of Forney's drug store, 31 North Sec
ond street, and he seemed so tickled
he almost walked right over me. I
Jon't blame him, though.
I am making myself at home around
Forney's and it looks like I am not
he only one who thinks this store has
i lot of practical things for Christmas
presents. They are having a big sale
>n University thermos bottles, cam
;ras. Moore's nonleakable fountain
jens and Parisian ivory goods. If you
,vant something for a toilet set, you
ion't want to pass this line up.
Mr. Policeman No. 14 had a far
iway look in his lamps when I passed
■iim Saturday on the northwest corner
of the Square.
I 1 had a long talk with Mr. Raker, of
the School of Commerce, and he said:
"Well, 1 see Sherlock paid our school
a visit." I wanted to tell him I had
been in the school several times, but
| thought t would wait until a more
propitious time to spring it. I see this
(school is a member of the Accredited
I Commercial Schools, which is a na
tional association and offers its grad
| uates the assistance of the Accredited
' school in every large city in the coun
try. This day and night school is
thoroughly equipped to give their stu
dents a business education that will
lift them out of the average class of
wage-earners. A diploma from the
School of Commerce is a passport to
a successful career.
I was standing on the corner of
Market and Third streets Saturday
night when a hungry-looking and
poorly dressed chap passed. One
young fellow standing in a crowd re
marked: "I'll bet that tramp is Sher
lock Holmes, Jr." I wanted to tell
this young sport that Sherlock was
not a tramp and that I failed to see
any medals on him that would make
one think he was a millionaire.
I always try to live up to a promise.
X said I was going to visit the City-Star
Laundry plant, and just to show you
that I have made good t will tell you
the number of people they work. It
takes about 140 people to handle the
100,000 pieces they launder each weelc.
With their perfect system of checking
each piece as it comes in and goes out
there is practically no loss. I take
my hat off to Mr. Orth and am frank
to say his plant is run along the most
modern lines.
A gentleman opened box 181 yes
terday afternoon while I was posting
some letters. I walked right up to
him and wrote the number down.
Someone has said, "He who indulges
wisely in the comforts of life adds
years to his life." This applies to the

the problem. One is a thorough edu
cation of the parent through the
medical examiner and visiting nurse.
The other, the penny lunch system
which has been adopted in some of
the larger cities. But that this could
work out successfully here I very |
much doubt. So far as I know, it has
been tried only in the cities where the
schools are much larger and the num
ber of children proportionately
greater. I cannot see that it is the
duty of all the taxpayers of Harrls
burg to feed the children of some as
would be the case if a greater school
tax were levied. There are charitable
organizations for that sort of thing.
"But is it not, in a way. wasting the
people's money to pay the salaries to I
teachers to instruct children physically .
unfit to be receptive?" he was asked.
"In a way, yes. I cannot give any
real suggestion of a solution (o this j
question because, had I formed any
definite opinion. It would by courtesy, j
have to be submitted first to the Board i
of Education."
Favors Domestic Science course
When told of the suggestion of a ,
young teacher In the Hamilton build- j
ing that domestic science be Intro-,
duced into the grammar grades and ;
the materials used to be sold to the
needy children for a few cents, Pro
fessor Downes became enthusiastic.
"Over and over I have made the ef
fort to have this course introduced
Into the grammar schools," he said.
"From time to time for six or seven
years I have agitated it for it is one
of my greatest wishes for the develop
ment of our school system but It has
always been prevented by a lack of
finances. Not only the Initial expense
of fitting out the room, but there is
the cost of the food and the salary
of the teacher. But it is what we need
and in time I hope it will be obtained.
However, the idea of feeding the
anaemic children from the foods
cooked does not seem feasible because
it would Interfere with the develop
ment of the course. In making only

New Ideas Hard to Put Through
"It Is very hard pulling to work out
iany new idea where the schools and
the people are concerned. Take our |
Parent-Teacher Associations and our I
i efforts for social centers. You know,
how hard it has been to accomplish
anything."
But that even something has been
done is worth the effort, 1» It not?"
"Undoubtedly! This new piohlem
must also be met and solved but I do
not see yet just how."
Dr. Keene, one of the newly-elected
members of the School Board, is fa
miliar with the penny lunch as it has
been adopted in the New York schools.
"I heartily approve of it," he said,
1 "and if it should prove worth trying ,
out here, I shall endorse it fully. This
is a matter which the board shall have
to look into when we meet. So far I
have been able to form no definite
conclusion as to the best way to meet
the problem of our ill-nourished chil
dren. However, let me say this from
the standpoint of a physician:

Dr. Keene also suggested education
by means of medical lectures to the
parents of the city as one means of
meeting the question.
"I am giving you only my personal
feelings," he said, "not the opinion*
of a member of the board. I think
that domestic science should begin in
I the lower grades of the grammar
schools. The High School Is not the
place for It only. It should come>
