Church Folk Hear Jewish
Relief Proclamation Read
Many congregations yesterday heard
Governor Brumbaugh's Jewish War re
lief proclamation read from the pul
pits of Harrisburg's churches. The
Governor Saturday made public his
edict Axing Thursday, January 26, as
the day. Special effort will be made
to raise funds for the suffering Jewish
people on Europe's battle fronts that
clay.
Many of the younger Jewish people
of this city have volunteered to serve
the local Jewish war relief committee
ns solicitors on Thursday.
PIMPLES AND SKIN
ERUPTIONS DANGER
SIGNS OF BID BLOOD
First Sign of Blood Disease.
Pimples, scaly Itching skin, rashes,
burning sensations and .Scrofula denote
■with unfailing certainty a debilitated,
weakened and impure state of the
blood. The trouble may have been in
jour blood from birth, but no matter
Jiow you were infected, you must treat
it through the blood. It is a blood dis
ease. You must use S. t?. S., the stand
ard blood tone for 30 years, if you ex
pert relief. For purifying the system,
nothing is equal to it. The action of
S. S. S is to cleanse the blood. It soaks
through the system direct to the seat
•if the trouble—acting as an antidote
to neutralize the blood poisons. It re
vitalizes the red blood corpuscles, in
creases the flow so that the blood can
properly perform its physical work.
The dull, sluggish feeling leaves you—
the complexion clears up. Even "long
standing cases respond promptly. But
you must take S. S. S. Drugs and sub
stitutes won't do. Get S. S. S. from
y our druggist. If you need expe-t ad
vice write to Swift Specific Co.. Atlanta,

j The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
| merce trade excursion party is as-
I sured a hearty welcome and a rous
ing evening get-together meeting in

, Chamber, and A. E. Buchanan, divi
sion passenger agent of the Pennsyl

ager George If. Mosser, Hotel Chair-
I man Riley and Entertainment Chair
man Dr. McKee of the Altoona Chani
! her and Manager McWilliams of the
' l.ogan House made it plain that the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
party would be given the. keys of the ;
; city.
To Show 'Km a l{eal Hunch
Last year, the Pittsburgh trade!
excursion visited Altoona: but it did'
not have a band and this year, Har-1
risburg will give Altoona a new im- j
) pression of what can be done in the!
i way of trade excursions. Further de-
I tails of the visit to Altoona will be I
announced later.
Through the co-operation of the j
Altoona hotelmen and Chamber of!
. Commerce there, every member of the j
I party will be given good hotel ac- \
1 commodations over night. Dinner and i
breakfast will be served at the Logan
' House.
Saturday afternoon Secretary Mc-
Colgin visited Huntingdon and Lewis
town and made arrangements for the
trade excursion visits to those cities.
! Secretary Clark of the Huntingdon
| Chamber of Commerce stated nothing
! would be left undone to make the
i visit of the Harrisburgcrs an event. I
1 E. M. C. Africa, president of the I
J. C. Blair Co.. which operates the
i first and one of the greatest fine pa- '
per tablet factories in the world, will !
keep open house for the visitors. |
Guides will be provided to show the i
party through the factory which is i
only a block from the square.
The Huntingdon Chamber of Com- j
merce operates a "community house" i
for the use of farmers and their!
wives who visit Huntingdon. Free j
reading and rest rooms are provided i
for both sexes. This new develop- i
ment of commerce organization ser- !
vice in a town of moderate size will 1
be found interesting says Secretary j
McColgin.
At Lewistown the secretary found I
Burgess Leopold and Secretary Bur- !
kett of the Board of Trade in con-!
ference upon the very matter he went j
there to see about. Arrangements j
were made for the party to take 1
, lunch at the Coleman House imme- j
diately upon its arrival in special
street cars from the 11N" Junction, j
After luncheon a joint half meeting
will be held between the Harrisburg- j
ers and the businessmen of Lewistown.!
It will take place In the courthouse, i
just opposite the hotel. Special street j
cats will be waiting in front of the;
courthouse to take the party back to
junction, where the trip westward will!
be resumed.
Clean Streets Other Places
The borough of Lewistown will have
the brick paved streets swept and
flushed on February 17, the day
the visit is made. Lewistown is proud
|of its large mileage of brick paved
streets and desires -the Harrisburg'
people to see and appreciate its im-1
provements.
Conferences relative to their par-]
ticipation in the William Penn High- j
way meeting in Harrisburg in March !
; were held to-day between officers of |
the Johnstown Chamber of Com
merce and Secretary McColgin. Later'
in the day Mr. McColgin will confer t
, with interests In Tyrone relative to
the Trade Excursion visit there in,
February and the William Penn High-'
way meeting. The Bellwood Cham-!
her of Commerce will also be. inter- i
viewed. To-raorrow arrangements
will be made for the trade excursion
luncheon and visit in Bellefonte on 1
I February seventeenth. Lock Haven
' also will be visited to-morrow.
Officers of the Harrisburg Chamber
plan to leave nothing in regard to <
trade excursion stops or the William !
I'enn Highway meeting to chance. ;
Those taking part in the trade ex
! cursion may rest assured that this
year's trip will be unsurpassed in the!
way of local receptions say the offi-;
cials. This is the first time an ad- j
vance visit has ever been made to i
every town on the route of the trade!
j excursions.
Widening of "The Narrows"
Absolutely Necessary
In the development of the plans for
the William Penn Highway across the!
State, touching the most populous
cities and towns, one of the most im
portant matters under consideration j
is the necessary provision for a wider I
j roadway from Clark's Ferry to Dau- j
: phin. Under present conditions this !
section is a menace to travel and a
serious interference with the main j
; trunk line of the Northern Central
! railway. Particularly is this true im-!
j mediately south of Clark's Ferry where j
the railroad's rights of way encroach
upon the highway to such an extent !
as to render it little more than a lanej
and increasing constantly the danger i
of accident by the heavy automobile'
traffic.
Inasmuch as the interests of the!
Northern Central liailwav company!
will require increased trackage be-1
tween this city and Williamsport, it is'
probable that some arrangement will
have to be made for the utilization oft
I the old canal bed so as to permit of a!
: new roadway from Clark's Ferry to J
| Dauphin along the river. This would ,
eliminate several very dangerous grade;
j crossings and provide the necessary!
j roadway.
State Highway Commissioner Cun- ■
( ningham and his force have had thisj
I matter under consideration for months;
and it is understood that they are in!
! touch not only with the railway i
! officials, but also the local and county j
officials with a view to corvecting a!
i very serious situation. t

Throughout the Pacific coast Hood and
weather conditions prevail to-day that
impede railroad traffic. Heavy snow
falls. landslides and washouts are ob
structions with which trainmen are
contending.
_ A sudden cold snap gripped the
Northwest last night, records being
made for quick changes in temper- j
at lire. Great Falls, Mont., experienced
a drop from 30 above to 4 below zero
in thirty minutes. British Colfimbia

: eminent dam at Ledaire was carried
! away by an ice jam last night and to
day the area within the wall is Hooded,
i One of the government dredges is sub-
I merged. The loss will be heavy, as the
: water covers many acres and will have
to be pumped out after the break is
! mended.
i The wall was constructed as a pre
liminary step toward building a canal
over the I.eclalre rapids as an aid to

WILSON PREPARES
FOR SPEECH TRIP
[Continued From First l'age.l
| ing trip to New York and the Middle
| West to lay his plans for national pre
paredness before the country.
| A complete program for his "swing
! around -the circle" in the interest of
preparedness was laid before the
President to-day. It had been map
iped 'out by the White House office
i force while he was aboard the May
! flower preparing the addresses he will
I deliver. Scores of invitations for the
i President to include cities not on his
j scheduled itinerary had to be refused.
I Except for an unexpected visit to
j historic Yorktown the trip down the
! river with Mrs. Wilson was unevent
■ ful. The President spent most of the
j time working on his speeches on the
preparedness issue which has for
1 some time been overshadowed in Con-
I gress by the Mexican problem and the
i international situation, has again come
I to the forefront as a result of Presi
dent Wilson's decision to make a per-
I sonal appeal to the country in behalf
lof his program. In consequence,
friends and opponents alike of pre
paredness look for stirring times in
Congress.
Many members apparently are
waiting to hear from "back home" on
the subject of preparedness before
deciding upon a course of action and
. it is believed that the President's trip
: not only will bring out public opinion
I but arouse Congress to activity.
Many .More Invitations
I More invitations to speak in the
j Middle West and on later trips were
| received at the White House to-day
I and the President replied to all say
! ing he wanted to visit as manv cities
!as possible, but was uncertain about
I his exact plans. At the request, of Sen
j ators Stone and Reed, the President
I decided to visit St. Louis as well as
i Kansas City.
