j| Which lolls How the Whole Right Wing of the Fairy Army j
Was Cut Off by the Gnomes' Stubbornness
P LUMPY was an adorable little cliap—there was no doubt about that. <
When he smiled the world smiled with him, and his mother smiled.
i» , and his father smiled, and his uunts and uncles smiled; but when
• J he frowned—oh, that was a different story.
!> And it was just through frowning that the Gnomes' stubbornness
i[ simply conquered him and all his Fairy friends one day. You see,
!> Hkcsd to have his own way. Oh, but he liked to have his own way.
<> AN hen he wanted to wear his best necktie he WANTED to wear it and
j[ that was all there was to it. But Plumpy's mother thought that little
boys should not always have their own way-—(and a very wise mother
<> she was). And that's how the whole thing happened.
J! You see, Plumpy got up one morning bright and early—for it was
< | picnic day in the town in which he lived, and he had watched mother the
|; day before pack the most splendid basket. His eyes had sparkled, and all
the little Fairies in his beloved hollow had just jumped up and down
( > in glee, punching him in the ribs and saying: "A picnic to-morrow,
1 lumpy. Won't we have fun? We'll show you all the little mountain
I > nooks where you can pick berries and do all sorts of wonderful things,"
1j and Plumpy had been so happy. But when he got up in the morning he
j 1 started to frown the very first thing, instead of smile—and that brought
II out a whole host of Gnomes in his Jlollow instead of Farles. And vou
]» never can guess why he frowned. Well, just because his mother had
vM. out an old, fadded necktie to wear to the woods instead of his beau
<► tiful new plaid one.
"I want to wear my new necktie, mother," pouted Plumpy.
j 1 'No son,'said mother. "We don't wear new neckties to go to picnics."
< Now if Plumpy had only been smiling instead of frowning the
1 1 would have helped him out, but thosfc frowns drove them all into
j ! little corners of his Hollow and instead the Gnomes just buzzed
' in - side - Plumpy could hear them nagging him on. "Don't vou do
it Plumpy, you want to wear your new necktie. .Just stamp your feet."
]! . And before you could turn, there stood Plumpy stamping his little
,j and shouting: "I won't wear this old thing! I will wear my new
1 necktie! I won't! I won't! I won't!"
I , "Very well, Plumpy." quietly said his mother, "vou have your choice.
i[ you wear your old necktie or stay at home from the* picnic."
« In Plumpy's Hollow all the little Fairies plead in low and tender
( , voices: Be good Plumpy. Listen Plumpy. Remember the mountain
1 nooks we will show you to-day."
! > But Plumpy pushed them back and stamped his feet again. Then all
the little (.monies' Stubbornness—(and a big army they were) just pranced
| > VP and down in Plumpy's Hollow, saying: "You said you wouldn't wear
( » old necktie, be as good as your word. Plumpy! Your mother won't
j make you stay home. She has her basket packed. Just be stubborn and
> you will conquer.
•! So Plumpy stamped away and pouted away and cried awav, and the
j t thing you know, the picnic had started and Plumpy was not. along.
, > and worst of all the lovely basket was carried away by the rest, while
«[ he stayed home with the cook.
\i .. hat « yon Gnomes! I hate you!" cried Plumpy. "You made me do
(i it, so you did!
!> th e ''ttle Gnomes only laughed a hard, bard laugh.
<' Why did you frown when you got up. Plumpy?" tliev asked. "Had
<; you smiled we would never have come out. As it is. we have won a big

FOODS
THEY BUILD OR DESTROY
Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the
Things You Eat.
(Copyright, 1916, by Alfred W. McCann.)
CHAPTER 12
Se'.f-flattery does not compensate
for the annual deaths of nearly 400,000
children under ten years of age.
When nearly 400,000 children under
ten years of age die in the homes of
our nation in one year, what is to be
said about the living, those who still
maintain the minimum of vitality nec
essary to keep them from crossing the
line?
When the grim reaper Death holds
• such a harvest, what are his attend
ants—Disease and Pain—doing in the
field of humanity?
The evils that resulted In the
(deaths of nearly 400,000 children in
the United States during one year had
some effect, surely, upon those chil
|dren whose vitality was still-a little!
1 too vigorous to surrender completely
as the occupants of the little white
caskets had done before them.
What is the effect of those evils?
What is the actual condition of the
school children of the present day?
All over America and Europe public
school children are being examined
;by physicians in search of disease.
1 Half the children in a school in the
|slums of Deeds were found by Dr.'
I Hull to be suffering from rickets, a
result of lime and phosphorus star
vation. How came that so? We shall
see.
In the Edinburgh schools 40 per
cent, of the children were found to be
suffering with diseases of the ear. a
result of general systemic disorder
brought about by insufficient food of
the right kind or an abundance of food
lacking in nutritive value.
Of such food, which may be ade
quately described as foodless food,
there are tons now being consumed
by the school children of America. If
the consumption of such foodless
foods Is followed by results prejudi
cial to the health of the little ones we
must know what those results are.
Of 10,500 school children the Brit
ish Dental Association found Bfi per
cent, suffering from defective teeth,
( the result of a diet lacking in the
mineral elements upon which the
bones and teeth depend for their ex
istence. Those who refuse to accept!
this statement must deal with the re- i
j suits of the experiments of Dr. Geis
of Columbia University in his analy
sis of the mineral content of defec
tive teeth.
In the Dundee Schools 50 per cent,
of the children were found to be suf
fering from defective vision. In Ala
meda, Cal., the superintendent of
schools says that out of 3,600 pupils
more than 300 are afflicted with phys
ical defects observed even to the lay
jman.
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, in the
Crispen Motor
Car Co.
413-417 S. Cameron St
month of December, 1911, announced
the results of the first three months'
work conducted by Dr. William J.
Gallivan, chief of the division of child
hygiene of the Boston Board of
Health.
The school physicians under Dr.
Gallivan examined 42,750 children and
only 14,957, a little more than one
! third, were found to be in a condition
that could be called healthy; 27,795
of the children examined were de
scribed as "defective."
In this historic center of the learn
ing and culture of the United States
an investigation covering three months
discovered among the children of the
schools 19,518 cases of defective teeth,
9,738 cases of diseased tonsils. 3,509
cases of skin disease, 575 cases of
rickets, and 1,611 cases of malnutri
tion.
The Bureau of Medical Research re
ports that "in'rural as well as in city
schools nearly one in three have trou
ble with the eyes: nearly one in five
are mouth-breatliers. because of ab
normal growths in the air passages,
besides many who are obviously pre
disposed to tuberculosis and nervous
trouble."
At the annual meeting, June, 1913.
of the Second District Dental Society
of New York, Dr. A. Freed man Fool
reported on the work done bv the
new Municipal Dental Clinic of New
York City, which has been operating
since the first of January, 1913.
Up to that time 1,694 children in
New York City had been registered in
the clinics, two of which arc In Man
hattan, three In Brooklyn and one In
the Bronx.
Of these 1,694 school children only
eleven were found to possess normal
teeth.
I)r. Foot's report, which was alarm
ing in the extreme, stated: "The six
year molars of nearly every child were
broken down wholly or in part, and
in a great many instances the molars
were decayed through the gums.
Where it was not already too late
these molars were drilled and filled
with gutta-percha.
"At tho lowest estimation more than
60 per cent, of all the children ex
amined possessed defective teeth. In
many instances the defects were so
extensive and far advanced that cor
rective treatment, even if it could have
been applied, would have been of lit
tle value."
Well indeed may this report ask the
question, "What will be the future
health chances of such children?"
Are they to be useful to society or. a
drag upon the race? How does it
look to you?
The American teeth of to-day are
among the poorest on earth, In spite
of the fact that the diet of the Amer
ican people is said to contain a greater
variety of foods than that found in
any other nation of the world. Alas!
such flattery does not compensate for
the annual deaths of nearly 400,000
children under ten years of age In the
United States alone.
Dr. T. Van Winkle of the Depart
ment of Health, examining the teeth
of 231,081 New York City children
outside the dental clinics, found 131,-
747 defective. A special examination
of the teeth of 500 school children be
tween the ages of fourteen and sixteen
selected at random revealed 486 de
fective cases.
In tliis respect the discoveries of
Dr. Geis concerning; the mineral defi
ciencies of starved teeth will receive
attention in their proper place. Wo
are now moving rapidly, but we must
not go too fast.
DISPLAY ROOM
ADDED TO SHOW
Space Includes Large Show
Windows of Emersen-Brant
ingham Building
With every foot of space in the up
per hall sold, consisting of about 17,-
000 feet, B. R. Johnson found It neces
sary to lease the large showroom on
the first floor. This has excellent
display windows the full length of
I Market street and will add to the ad
vantages of the location from the dis
play standpoint as well as for con
venience and the additional room it
permits. Ten thousand pounds of
southern smilax will be shipped by
express for decorating purposes. The
color scheme will be in white, gold
and green, and the exhibits will be
divided by tree boxes with signs sus
pended from the ceiling. The Sara
Lemer orchestra has been engaged for
afternoons and evenings. All the
motorcar men with one or two excep
tions have signed up and these spaces
will no doubt be closed Tuesday to
make this, not only the biggest and
best, but the most complete show of
models.
AUTOMOBIIiE NOTES
The Harrisburg Auto Company an
nounce having been in business for
fourteen years. In that length of time
! sixteen different makes of cars have
! been sold by this firm. After having
tried them all, George G. McFarland
came to the conclusion that the Reo
made the best showing, considering
first cost and upkeep expense. Rec
ord sheets were kept of all cars sold
and during service every car was care
fully listed. This made it possible to
make actual comparison of cost. The
result was in favor of the Reos and
to-day no other car is sold by this
company. The Reo business has since
grown from the sale of one car until
one thousand are now scheduled for
this territory this season. Seventy
seven carloads are now in storage for
, local Spring delivery.
Two new Jeffery delivery trucks
have been announced by the Jeffery
company. News was received by J. A.
Bentz yesterday. One Is a three
quarter ton delivery car with elec
trical equipment selling at S9OO. The
other is a one and one-half ton truck
with electrical equipment selling at
$1,400. The famous Jeffery Quad is
also made in two and three and .one
half ton models.
The International Harvester Com
pany has recently included two new
models to their motor truck line.
These are the Model E, 1,500 pounds
capacity, and Model F of 2,000 pounds.
These trucks have the sealed gover
nor, a protection to the owner against
the abuse of his truck in the hands of
a reckless driver, as it eliminates the
possibility of speeding. The governor
cuts down the gasoline supply when
the truck reaches a certain speed.
NATIONAL TWELVE
IS NOW HERE
New Twin Six Is Being Ex
hibited by the Penua. Auto
Sales Co.
i Among the Twelves that are being
j introduced this year is the National at
I $1990. This car reached Harrisburg
this week and is being shown at 5
Grace street, by the Pennsylvania Auto
Sales Company. Concerning the ad
vantages of the Twelve, Davidson savs,
"Flowing power, utmost flexibility,
minimized gear shifting, and smoother
riding are but samples of its sum
totaled advantages. Longer life is one
of the reasons for the twelve-cylinder
construction, because vibration is so
eliminated and every one knows that
vibration wrecks and shortens the life
of machinery more than anything else."
But Davidson has not changed his
attitude born of many years' automo
bile eperience. He still claims that it
is not so much the number of cylind
ers under the hood as what these cyl
inders accomplish. In order to test the
merits of a car Davidson oelieves one j
should judge it as a whole car and !
not by any one of its separate features
or peculiar advantages. Davidson be- I
lleves in making a car "perform" and
if the owner is satisfied i'lth the per- i
formance obtained It is due to the merit!
of these particular parts or features. !
It is upon this basis that Davidson
sells the National car. For he savs I
that although the National Is as moil- 1
ern as the most modern of cars, he
does not emphasize the specific mod-1
ernized features at the expense of the 1
car as a whole, but rather prefers to ]
let people judge the car by the way |
it perforins as a whole.
MINERS ASSERT
DEMANDS FAIR
Special to the Teleeropli
New York, Feb. s.—Following the
statement by the anthracite coal op
erators in yesterday morning's news
papers the United Mine Workers of
America gave out a statement de
fending their new demands. At the
same time the operators made it plain !
that their statement had been made !
simply to acquaint the public with the I
facts of the situation and was not a I
formal rejection of the demands of the
miners. The statement of the mine
workers is as follows:
"From all parts of the country, espe
cially the great cities and distributing
centers, come accounts of shortage of
anthracite coal and of a consequent
profitable market. It is only just that
the miners should also have a share
in the prosperity that their arduous and
hazardous labor has made possible.
"Increases in the wages of miners
in the anthracite regions have by no
means kept pace with the rates in
other Industries. In the ten years fol
lowing the award of the Anthracite
Strike Commission, while the rates
of wages of the anthracite miners re
mained practically stationary, the
workers In the other Industries, in
cluding the miners in the bituminous
fields, demanded and were granted
wage Increases, and the anthracite
miners were forced to pay their share
of the better wages for men of other
crafts through the added costs of the
commodities that formed the neces
sities of their living.

"TV/TAN is not born to solve the prob-
JLYJL lems of the universe, but to find
out what he has to do and to restrain
himself within the limits of his com
prehension."
So spoke one of the world's greatest
philosophers. And the same immortal E
truth has been echoed down the cen- |
turies. •
Notably, in this era of specialization, c
the greatest awards are to those who
concentrate on a single aim and accom
plish it with exceeding skill.
Maxwell Motor Cars are products of
concentration. They are built by or
ganized specialists, whose collective aim
is the creation of a car of such excel- F
lence that we can be justly proud to
trade-mark and brand it with our name. I
The achievement of this aim is facili- j
tated by the great volume of business
necessary to make a low price possible.
Thus we "restrain ourselves within the
limits of our comprehension," by evol- ;
ving a car of character that will capa- j j
bly serve a wise and economical public. • V
