"THEIR MARRIED LIFE"
Copyright by Interim lon*] Xfm Service
"Dear me. Warren," said Carrie,
caustically, "wherever did you set the
money to buy Helen sueli a stunning
coat and right on top of that give her
a chaise tongue? Seems to me divi
dends are paying well in the Curtis
family."
Carrie and Fred had Just arrived
with little Roy, and Helen could see
that she would have her hands full.
Already Carrie was sarcastic about
her sister-in-law's possessions, a
subject that they had quarreled
about more than once.
"That was a little speculation of
Warren's," explained Helen as she
took Carrie into her room to remove
her things.
"Seculation? You don't mean to
tell uie that Warren is doing any
thing reckless with his money?"
"Not anything particularly reck
less. Yon can be sure that I would
not allow that." Helen resolved
that Carrie would not learn any
thing more about it. so she changed
the subject adroitly.
Carrie fluffed up her hair at
Helen's dressing table and examined
her toilet silver minutely. Then
she turned to the chaise longue
which was piled with cushions and
stood at the foot of the bed.
"I must say that you and Warren
do the craziest things with your
money. To see this apartment any
one would swear that you were a
millionaire."
Helen laughed gaily, and followed
Carrie back to the living room. Bob
and Louise were sitting on the
Davenport, a book of engravings
between them. Bob was still the
eager boy that ho had been when
Louise had married him, and they
were still in love. Bob was always
reaching for Louise's hand under
neath the table and Louise still
flushed when he looked at her.
Helen had noticed it plenty of times
and thought it delightful.
Frances a Guest
Frances Knowles was sitting in
the big window chair, the sun strik
ing lights from her red hair. As
tliey all sat down together Helen
excused herself and went into the
diniiig room to see about dinner.
She was having the family with her
this year, and it always meant a
great responsibility.
When she had suggested having
Frances Knowles at the little party
she had added that it might be
just as well to have an outsider
present so that Carrie could not as
easily start a family discussion.
Warren had hesitated, not knowing
whether be angry or not, but had
finally decided to be good tempered
and had laughed.
"Have things th e way you want
them, but try to keep peace in the i
family by all means."
And so Helen had asked Frances,
and in the afternoon a few others
were dropping In for late tea. Car
rie and Fred always went home
early on account of Roy and old Mr.
Curtis, who was very feeble now
that his wife had died.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
Dinner was a series of long, tedi
ous courses, punctuated by frequent
remarks from Carrie concerning her
new maid, which made Mary flush
and Helen furious. Frances saved
the situation several times by a
light conversation which she used
to cover awkward pauses.
Dinner ended with more Jollity
and good will than a family dinner
had ended in some years, as Helen
remarked to Warren in an aside.
"Helen," said Farnces, slipping
her band in Helen's arm, "who all
is coming up this afternoon?"
"The Bells, of course, and Jack
Parmelee, and Dr. Marshall, and a
girl from the West that I haven't
met."
"Are you going to have friends
this afternoon, Helen?' questioned
Carrie, who stood just behind them.
Carrie Protests.
"Some people are coming up for
late tea."
"Late tea. that will be after we
have left, of course'."'
"About 5:30," said Helen, hoping
that Carrie would not take an op
portunity to make things uncom
fortable.
"t'f course, we are leaving early,
so that you need not be worried."
Poor Helen groaned inwardly.
"Since you and Warren have met
this Bohemian crowd you certainly
have put your relatives out of sight
and hearing."
"Now, Carrie." remonstrated Helen
weakly. She never knew what to do
when Carrie started these tactics and
Carrie knew it quite well.
"It seems to me. however, that
you are Influencing Warren. He
never used to be this way. Warren
was always a great family man."
"And he still is." said Helen
firmly, "and so am I, and we both
shall always be glad to have you
meet our friends. The fact Is so
obvicuv that it hardly needs an
argument to confirm it."
Carrie sniffed and with flaming
cheeks sailed out into the living
room. "Fred. I think we had better
take an early train," she said, with
ominous quiet.
"Leave now; why of course not."
said Warren, who was comfortably
smoking,
"We might interfere with Helen's
tea." said Carrie harshly.
Warren met Helen's eyes and rose
to the emergeijcy beautifully.
"I am sure that Helen never gave
you tbat impression, r'arrie." he
said calmly. "We'd be glad to have
you meet our friends. Sit down
and don't he foolish."
Ca-rie, much to Helen's surprise,
down, and the conversation be
came general. Helen, slipping out
five minutes later, met Frances in
the ball;
"What an awful woman." said
France 3 with mock seriousness.
"This family business is terrible,
isn't it, dear? I certainly feel for
you."

1 15 feet, "and is one of the largest and
I handsomest flags in the city."
I In the atfldavit Dr. Melbane swears
I "that the charges contained in a letter
from one Maurice Zeizler, to Joseph H.
j Tumulty, dated January 4, 1916. in
! which Melbane is charged with utter
ances derogatory to the American flag,
are absolutely false. That he never
used the language charged to him by
the said Zeizler, either in his store or 1
elsewhere, or any language to any one
reflecting in any manner on the Amer
ican flag, and any charge that he did
so is a malicious falsehood."
Zeizler gave out a statement in re
ply, in which he says that he has
made affidavit that Dr. Melbane in
sulted the flafe by claiming "it is not
my flag; I am a Southerner."

but this era of prosperity is not spas
modic. Millersburg has always been
noted for its thrift and when other
towns were battered by hard times,
[his town was merely touched, and
touched so lightly that recovery was
a matter of but a few days.
This borough lias a population of
approximately 3,000 and a conserva
tive estimate of the number of per
sons employed shows that more than
one-fourth of the entire number of
residents in the town are working in
the various_ industrial plants. There
a h°ut 830 men. women and voung
folks working in the mills and fac
tories and this leaves approximated
2,150 persons to take care of the
stores, offices and homes. Included
in this number, too. are the school
children, and the men who work on
the railroad. There are few towns in
Pennsylvania where a record of this
kind has been attained.
"Get There" Spirit
Millersburg has a real, true "get
there spirit and its progressiveness
is evidenced on every side. Paved
streets, good water and electric lights
are among its valuable assets. Its
schools are established on an excel
lent basis and all of its stores are
modern and seemingly prosperous.
Pretty homes are to be found in all
parts of the town and with co-opera
tion on the part of every person the
borough has grown to be a .self
sustaining settlement and just pack
ed to the borough limits with spirit
which would do credit to a much larg
er town.
All of Millersburg's industries are
housed in good substantial buildings
and everything possible is done to
care for the employes and make them
comfortable.
Materials For Allies
ar materials for the allies are
playing a part in the industrial life
of the community, too, and dyes, taps
and reamers made here are either be
nig shipped to the allies' governments
of Europe or to plants in the United
States which are manufacturing mu
nitions for them. Millersburg products
are shipped to all parts of the world
and the freight agent here never ex
presses surprise, no matter how far
a crate or box is to be shipped.
The largest industry in the town
in the Johnson-Baillie shoe factory
where 17,000 pairs of shoes are manu
factured weekly. The plant was start
ed about 20 years ago and at that
time a very few persons were em
ployed. The factory and the • town
grew up together and now during
working hours the factory buildings
hojuse one-sixth of the town's entire
population. More than 500 persons
are on the payroll and this number
is kept rushed at all times, "overtime"
frequently being recorded on the com
pany's books. Misses', children's and
ladies' shoes are made at the plant
and these are worn by persons in all
sections of the United States. The
Johnson-Baillie plant is made up of
big roomy frame and brick buildings.
The company's original building could
be placed in a corner of one of the
present structures.
Keg Stave Machinery
A short distance from this shoe fac
tory is the P. K. Lenker Machine
Shop where machines for making
staves for nail kegs and small bar
rels are built. Mr. Lenker designed
the machines and has been building
them here for many years. Five ma
chines make up a set for a stave mill
and an average of eight sets are built
each week. A dozen men are em
ployed at the shop and they have
never been known to be idle. At the
present time there are orders on hand

The doctor who could meet this nervous

FOODS
THEY BUILD OR DESTROY
Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the
Things You Eat.
(Copyright, 1916, by Alfred W. McCann.)
J)
CHAPTER 3
In the last four years one million
five hundred thousand children under
ten years of age have died in the
United States.
With little knives and forks, with
little baby spoons, with chubby little
hands that show many of the out
ward signs of health, the nation Is
digging graves.
The stricken parents of children
who are sent away before their time
should move the world to prevent
these preventable tragedies, but the
impulse does not come, as a rule, until
it Is all over.
It Is no time to educate parents
after the child Is laid low. The time
to do it is now. for all the food knowl
edge this side of heaven will not put
life and health Into the tissues of a
corpse.
But parents, bound up with old
fashioned traditions, heed the work of
child conservations as a whirring and
exaggerated warning out of the
mouths of faddists. They will not ac
cept the plain facts unless they are
proven in some picturesque fashion. I
intend tq provide such picturesque
proofs.
They will not peep behind the
traditions unless they receive a shock
that excites their curiosity. 1 In
tend to provide such shock.
They will not stir from the beaten
path tramped hard with the little feet
of millions of children unless they
are pushed by brute force. I intend
in this series of articles to employ
such brute force.
In the last four years in the United
States three million little feet have
ceased their pattering and still the
world refuses to heed. No, this is
not an idle statement made in a year
of sensations. Its proof is found in
the mortality statistics prepared by
the bureau of the census, Depart
ment of Commerce, and submitted, in
1915, to the Hon. William C. Red
field, secretary of commerce, by Wil
liam J. Harris, director of the census.
Gruesome? Yes. True? Yes. But
what of it unless we are ready to take
soundings, even though to do so
means parting with much old-fashion
ed. care-free, happy-go-lucky indif
ference that sits on an eggshell of
happiness, ever ready to crack?
There Is a peg in our shoe. It
hurts our foot. It bruises and cuts
the flesh. It sets up a serious irrita
tion. We go to a doctor. He applies
oil and lotions. He carefully band
ages the sore spot. We go right on
with the treatment and complain
that in spite of our physician's skill
we can't get that foot to' heal. Of
for more than thirty sets of machines
for firms in Virginia alone.
1.000 Cliair Seats a Bay
Chair seats used by hundreds of
residents of Harrisburg and Central
Pennsylvania in general are made in
this busy borough. In the plant of the
Halifax Chair Seat Company, owned
by J. H. Klingman and Arthur J. Fas
nacht, 1,000 seats are turned outi
daily. These are sold to the vari
ous chains of five-and-ten cent stores
in the East and also to many de
partment and hardware stores in many
towns and cities. During last year
251,480 seats were manufactured, and
this year Mr. Klingman, the senior
member of the firm, hopes to pro
duce a total of 300.000. The seats
w.hich have a covering of imitation
leather, have a cotton and seagrass
fitting and a metal bottom. They
find ready sale but there are not many
persons who know they are made
here. The plant, which employes five
men, was originally located at Halifax
and it was because of its location
that it came to be known as the Hali
fax Chair Seat Co. When Mr. Kling
man decided to move to Millersburg
he permitted the original name to
stand.
Taps, Dyes and Reamers
At the plant of W. L. Brubaker &
Brothers, near the depot, taps, dyes
and reamers are manufactured by
the hundred. The majority of them
at the present time are being fur
nished jobbers in New York and a
great many are being forwarded to
the allies, where they are put to their
respective uses. Some of them are
being carried on auto trucks which
are doing duty on the battlefields of
Europe. The Brubaker shops employ
75 men and when hundreds of in
dustries all over the country more
than a year ago were forced to close
down, this was one of the plants which
continued to work as though (the
country had been enjoying great pros
perity. The company is so rushed
with orders now that recently a num
ber of new ones were turned down.
There are enough orders on hand now
to keep the 75 men busily engaged for
the next six months. Besides supply
ing many concerns in this country,
the Brubaker products are shipped
direct to Italy, Japan, England, Aus
tralia and Russia.
Thera are two other concerns in
Millersburg which manufacture taps,
dyes and reamers and they are the
plants of A. J. Polk & Son and the Al
vord Reamer Company. The former
shops are at the present time sup
plying taps and dyes for the allies.
They are being used to make up .lets
of tools which are in use on the bat
tlefields. Reamers are supplied, too,
to an American plant making muni
tions for the allies. The reamers made
in the Polk shops are used in the
manufacture of shrapnel cases. This
plant also does work for the Amer
ican government and at present has
orders on hand for some of its pro
ducts which are to be shipped to the
Panama Canal Zone. Twenty-five men
are employed at the shops.
Will Put on Night Shift
At the Alvord Reamer Company's
plant 38 men are employed and with
in the next few days an additional
force of fifteen men will be put on to
make a night shift. The concern
manufactures reamers and mill cut
ters of various sizes and ships them
al over the world. For the past sev
eral months the company has been
so rushed with work that it was
necessary to make plans for a night
force. This shop is one of the most
prosperous in the borough. Adjoin
ing it is the Millersburg Fifth Wheel
Works where parts for wagons are
made. In addition to welded rings
which are put to various uses. Among
the most noteworthy are those which
are manufactured for a certain ship
building company on the Atlantic
coast. The company at present is en
gaged in building submarines for the
American government and the rings
which are used to encircle the tor
pedo tubes are being produced at the
Fifth Wheel plant. This concern em
ployes fifteen men.
Another Shoe Factory
At the extreme upper end of Mil
lersburg is a shoe factory where in
fants' and children's shoes are made.
Eleven years ago this factory, owned
by the Millersburg Shoe Company,
was a barn. It was remodeled and
eight or ten persons were employed.
The business adventure was a success
and the concern has been running
steadily ever since. There are 85
j persons employed now and this force
Is capable of producing from 75.0 to
1 1,000 pairs of shoes daily. The out
course not. Some day it will occur to
us to remove the peg from our shoe.
Nature, helped a little anil encour
aged by the physician, will do the
healing, but not until the cause of
her woe has been removed.
All the fancy serums, anti-bodies,
tonics, and therapeutic agents of
modern science will not insure us
against physical disorder while that
peg remains in the national shoe.
That peg is the preventable tubercu
losis, preventable pellagra, prevent
able cancer, preventable anaemia, pre
ventable nervous prostration, prevent
able diabetes and Briglit's disease,
preventable illness of childhood. It
is the mysterious cause of the baffling
disorders which defy the deft scalpel
of the surgeon and the skilful treat
ment of the physician.
It is the unseen force whose work,
unknown to doctor and nurse, laughs
defiance at the soundest scientific
truths ol' the hospital laboratory, sus
pending the power of medicine's most
useful knowledge and defeating the
purpose for which it is applied.
It was named at the Sixth Interna
tional Congress on Physiotherapy held
in Berlin. April, 1913, in the follow
ing words:
"Natural immunity to disease is
very closely allied to nutrition. An
infection of the mouth with thrush is
not possible in a normally born and
breast-fed child. As soon as a slight
disturbance of the nutrition occurs
the child loses this natural immunity.
"The bottle-fed child is at a great
disadvantage as compared with the
breast-fed child. One-sided nutrition
with carbohydrates (starches, sugars,
glucose, syrups, candies, white bread
stuffs. denatured breakfast foods, etc.)
injures the immunity of children.
"Tuberculous children, nourished
with such carbohydrate foods, suc
cumb more easily than when nourish
ed on natural food.
"The water content of the body is
inversely proportioned to the natural
Immunity. Refined foods increase
unnecessarily the amount of water in
the tissues and permit a rapid rise in
the body weight. Children fed on
such a carbohydrate diet become
water-logged, fat. and show slight re
sisting' power against infection. The
lack of absorbable calcium salts in
the diet favors the water-logging.'
These words, describing the peg,
mean little to you now, but before we
have proceeded very far they will be
read under such a clear, white light
that you will marvel over their sim
plicity. You will then understand
why the peg must be removed, and
perhaps you will help to remove it.
look for the future Is exceptionally
bright and at present the factory is
rushed with orders for Spring goods.
In recent years additions have been
built to the factory and the most
modern machinery installed, so that
it is now one of the most up-to-date
plants in Central Pennsylvania.
Wood Workers Busy
Two wood wor* plants and two
broom factories make up the remain
der of Millersburg's Industries. The
A. Douden Planing Mills, which were
established more than 30 years ago,
make a specialty of veneered wood
work and to carry on this branch of
the trade a mammoth press is used.
This mill has furnished the wood
work for hundreds of building opera
tions in this territory and many places
in Harrisburg are adorned with the
Millersburg product. The plant em
ploys sixteen wood workers. The Mil
lersburg Manufacturing Company also
produces wood work for buildings and
the 20 men employed there are al
ways busy. This concern was founded
forty-five years ago and like the Dou
den mill, furnishes much material
for building operations in Harris
burg.
4,000 Brooms Made Daily
Four thousand brooms a day is the
record of the Union Broom Works,
owned by C. W. Day & Brother. This
factory has been in continuous op
eration for thirty-three years. There
are 35 men employed. Twenty-five
grades of brooms are made and in
their manufacture broom corn, reed,
bamboo and rat'an are used. The
broom corn brooms are for general
house work and the heavier material
is used in the brooms made for fac
tories, shops and cars. For many
years past the. Union Works have been
furnishing brooms for the Pennsylva-.
nia, Cumberland Valley and a num
ber of other railroad companies. The
standard at the plant is 1,000 brooms
daily but sometimes the output is
above this figure.
The Keystone Broom Works, where
five men are employed, produces from
fifteen to twenty dozen brooms daily
and ships them to various stores in
all parts of the State. Fifteen grades
are made. The company's business
is exceptionally good and indications
are that the present conditions will
be greatly improved.
Active in Building
Millersburg, besides her industries,
is interested in building and during
the past few years many homes and
other buildings have been construct
ed. One of the largest, structures
erected during the last year or two
is the Brubaker building. The first
floor of this contains seven store
rooms, the second seven apartments
and the third floor Is given over en
tirely to the Masohs. On this floor
the lodgemen have their meeting
rooms, kitchen, banquet hall, ipool
and billiardroom and cardroom. The
entire building is one of the most up
to-date in this part of the State and
shows again the spirit of progressive
ness which exists in Millersburg.

When such training has become
general and when all of the stores

wage problem will solve itself. For
the prlnlclpal cause of the low rate of

A study of the salesgirls in various

them live at home and are therefore
