A REMARKABLE BOOK ON DRINK AND DRUG HABIT Pronounced by Medical .lournolM the Most Valuable Work of KM Kind liver Published A Solution of the Worhl's Two Greatest Evils A ."00 page, cloth-bound book, en- i titled "Habits that Handicap," pub-! lished by the Century Company of New York, has attracted great "attention | among phvsicians and laity alike. Even the libraries of the country have been large buyers. The author, Charles B. Towns, has! -penalized in narcotic diseases for fif- j teen years. His researches have taken! him to most of the scientific centers of j the world. He was the discoverer of i the first dependable, definite treatment! for drug addictions now being prac ticed in the narcotic wards of many hospitals. He is also founder of the! Charles B. Towns Hospital, the largest! private hospital of its kind in New; York. The reviewer of one medical journal 1 write: "It is the production of a nia- I lured, well-poised, efficient man, who writes of what lie knows. Whoever reads it will see that Towns Is not a moralist, but a practical student of IT, use and effect." This critic might ! have also added that tlie style of lan-I guage used is simple, practical, full of! human interest appeal, and understand- j able to all readers. This treatise not only goes into full I detail of the many causes which en- ! courage addictions, but shows its pro gress by degrees and finally vividly de- j ucribeg the end. In prescribing methods of conquering! these brain destroying habits, the au thor pays particular attention to ways! i-f obtaining the willingness of patients to be cured and how to keep up their! pride and self-respect, during treat ment. While "Habits that Handicap" mav ! be found In many public libraries throughout the country anil are sold ; by some book dealers, the author Is' very anxious to see his work more widely distributed. Therefore, he has arranged with the Century Company to. distribute a limited edition on most i favorable terms. The publishers' price is $1.20 per copy, plus postage when! mailed—but for 20 cents in stamps or! coin to pay carriage, a volume will be mailed to one's home and the balance! •if SI.OO may be paid In ten days after receipt. This gives one an opportunity! to return the book if not satisfied with! its contents.

Deeter-Slesser Difficulties Will Be Aired in Court Difficulties between Benjamin Slesser and Frank Deeter, both of Conewago township, were aired yes terday In two cross suits filed respec tively before Justices of the Peace Rodfong and Bowers. Deeter brought the first suit before Justice Bowers, charging Slesser with threatening his life. A warrant was Issued for the latter and on March 13 Deeter and a friend started out with Constable Brandt to serve It. The trio hired an automobile and drove to the Slesser home where, it Is said, they found Slesser sawing wood. Before Con stable Brandt could go through the necessary legal procedure, Deeter and his friend, it is said, attempted to seize Slesser who resisted vigorously. A general mixup followed in which Slesser's father received a bloody nose. As soon as young Slesser heard the officer read the warrant he sub mitted quietly to arrest and last eve ning waived a hearing and furnished bail for court. As an aftermath of their trouble, Slesser brought suit against Deeter charging him witYi assault and battery. This hearing took place yesterday aft ernoon before Justice Rodfong and resulted in the defendant being hold under S2OO bail for court. This lie was unable to furnish and he was taken to the Dauphin county jail by Con stable T. K. Stipe. Dceter's defense was that he and his friend were deputized by Officer Brandt ami lierefore had a right to lay hands on Slesser. HUNDREDS OF BABIES TAKE This is "Flower Day" in the four-1 clay exhibit at Bowman's store in | honor of King Baby. In spite of the j inclement weather the first day of the exhibit attracted several hundred in terested spectators. The babies them selves were out in greater force to day in an effort to win one of the at-! tractive prizes that are being: offered. \ [Victor Chester Horn, 2831 North Sec-1 i ond street, was the fattest baby at the | | exhibit yesterday afternoon and ho} ■ won the prize awarded for that i | healthy characteristic.

Associated Aid in Charge To-day's program was held utlderl the auspices of the Associated Aid so- j cieties, with Headmaster Arthur E. j Brown, of the Harrisburg Academy as; presiding officer. Miss Helen Glenn, who has come to | Harrisburg recently from Phlladel j phia where she was social worker in the children's department of the Unl i versity Hospital and John Yates, sec retary of the Associated Aid Societies j were the speakers at this afternoon's j I session.

Augury for Solution Showing the decision of the Emperor and his supporters to reject a sub-1 marine policy practically certain to: bring about a break in relations with I the United States, if not actually war, ! the development is regarded here as { j a potent augury for a peaceful solu-: | Hon of the situation with Germany, j {By some it is regarded as the most I ! important development toward the j : continuance of good relations be- j 1 tween the countries that has como! I about since the period of strained re- j ; laflons began almost a year ago. Contest Ponding The passage of to-day's Berlin dis- ; I patches by the German censor is re- \ garded as showing the desire of the German Foreign Office to prepare the ! American people for such a contest | in the Reichstag as was recently seen j in Congress between the two factions over the armed ship Question. It is believed that the contest will ! result In probably harsh attacks upon | the United States and the German! government Itself by the Von Tlrpltz element and for that reason officials' j and diplomats reading between the I lines foresee an intention to prepare I the United States for what Is expected 1 to develop as a result of the Em peror's decision not to offend this ] country. Kaiser Reject® Plan About a fortnight ago, it is under- | I stood, a conference was held in Berlin j presided over by the Emperor him-! self and attended among others by Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg, ; Herr Von Jagow, and Generat Von | i Falkhayn, chief of staff, and it is be lieved Von Tlrpltz himself was called in. The discussion turned on sub marine warfare generally and parti cularly upon the attitude of the ! United States. Subsequent events In the American Congress were forecast 1 with remarkable accuracy. The general understanding was that i it was the Emperor himself who de ; cided that every effort should be made ! to retain the friendship of the United! States short of abandoning any prtn | ciplcs Involving the honor of the Gor-' man nation. The result was the re-1 jectlon of the proposed extension of ! submarine warfare to affect neutral' ! nations. Von Tirpitz's retirement fol-1 j lowed naturally the rejection of the : plans he fathered. It is realized in Washington that 1 I Berlin is now to witness a conflict [ between the Emperor and a powerful ! element In the Reichstag, wrought up to a high pitch of indignation over the j 1 condemnation of Von Tirpitz's plans, j plans. The German government is reliably! represented as having no intention of | departing from its announced policy' of regarding armed merchantmen of | the entente allies as warships. Some i time it will shape Its campaign so as; io obviate all possibility of trouble , with the United States and every ef-1 fort will be exerted, It is said to avoid J friction with neutrals generally. delphia, bringing out her points with expressive illustrations of conditions before and after the social service bureau was Installed. She described the children's ward in the general hospital as an excellent departure for baby work, particularly in the follow up feature which has come to be as important a part of the welfare pro gram as the care In the hospital. She told of a child who was received at the hospital in August, 1915, was held there for two weeks with chronic in testinal Indigestion, was released and sent home; came back after ten days with a diagnosis of malnutrition; spent thirty-two days more in the hos pital; was sent out. but came back In two months with bronchial pneumonia and later returned with still further complications that caused its death: all this, said Miss Glenn, could have been avoided with follow-up work in the home and it was just such cases as these that convinced the hospital authorities that the system now in vogue was needed. Now when a child is brought to the hospital, and they have about thirty new cases in addition to the old ones every month, a nurse immediately visit his home and on his return the home is in a tit condition to receive the child, whose health has been im proved in the hospital. Miss Glenn declared that the Visit ing Nurses' society, had it not already adopted the system, might accom plish equally effective results In this city, provided they co-operate closely with the hospitals. Fifty per cent, of the cases that come under the atten tion of such associations need the home care that they are now receiv ing. Work of the Associated Aid.

It was news, however, to Captain Deschelles that cable dis patches have since reported that Mr. Arnold, who was returning home, died at Lisbon the day after his arrival there. Gets Warning Information received by the State Department was that he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown at the time of his departure from Cairo. The night before the submarine appeared Captain Deschelles received the warn ing "Be careful, submarine sighted about 100 miles from Cape de Guarde" by wireless from Algiers. He re mained on the bridge all night and posted iifteen lookouts around tha ship. The captain said he did not person ally see the submarine or the torpedo, but both were seen by his first of ficer and a number of passengers. The ship was making full speed at the time. Orders were immediately given j to steer a zigzag course and no fur ther trace of the submarine was seen. "I regret to say I did not have any !gt ns," Captain Deschelles said, and ! added that he would make a request i that his ship be equipped with guns when he returns to France. None of the American passengers I saw 'he submarine. Torpedoed Dutch Vessel Is Sinking; Passengers Safe By Associated Press London, March I«.—A Reuter dis patch from the Hook of Holland says that a wireless message has been re ceived there stating that the large Dutch passenger steamship Tubantia. outward bound from Amsterdam to the river Plate, has been torpedoed and Is In a sinking condition near the Noordlilndcr lightship. All the pas sengers have been taken off on boats. » The London agents of the steamship Tubantia which is owned by the Hol- I land Lloyd of Amsterdam, have re ceived a message saying the vessel struck a mine and is sinking. An [ other dispatch says the Tubantia was ' torpedoed. I The steamship, which is of 10.000 • tons gross, left Amsterdam yesterday for Buenos Aires for a general cargo. She was to have stopped at Falmouth and peninsular ports, where the ma jority of the passengers were to have been taken aboard. A life-saving boat has left the Hook | of Holland to search for the sinking | vessel and Dutch torpedoboats are ! leaving Flushing to hurry to the res j cue of the ship's passengers in the i lifeboats. The Tubantia is 340 feet, long and 65 beam. She left Buenos Aires on February 4 for Amsterdam. CREW NUMBERED 300 London, March 16.

CAREFUL SURVEY WILL BE NEEDED [Continued From First I'age.] 1 time limit required for the issue of the 1 books this year—April 1. In brief, this Is the opinion of Cap- I tain Baird Halbcrstadt, mining engi neer and geologist, of Pottsville, in j answer to-day to the request of the j County Commissioners for an approxi ; mate estimate of the cost of complet i ing a proper coal land tax survey. "If the duplicate tax books are re j quired to be in hands of the collectors by April 1," Writes Captain Halber stadt, "the time is too short to make I anything like an accurate estimate of the values of these lands. In order to I make an appraisement of the values, a j careful and most thorough exami nation would have to be made of every I tract lying within the coal limits. 10,000 Acres of Coal Baml "There are," continues the expert, "approximately upward of 40,000 acres of land owned by the coal com panies in Dauphin county. This acre age is embraced in some 150 tracts, i some of which are entirely outside the i coal measure limits, others are entirely ! within these limits and some of them are partly within and partly beyond. These areas and conditions would | have to be determined as accurately ! as possible, which, as it will be readily seen, would necessitate an examination | of each seam of coal where it is pos sible to get at It, and a computation of ! the probable marketable tonnage In each seam and every tract so under |laid. "Of the tracts barren of coal, while I not requiring so thorough an exami j nation, there should certainly be some examination, unless all parties agree 1 on the assessors' valuations as at pres ent given. "To make a hasty examination," j continues the engineer, "if the time | be limited to April 1. would result j unsatisfactorily, and in the event of a I legal battle the information thus hur i riedly gathered would, because of its | lack of completeness, probably have i but. little weight, in court. Boesn't Care for Job "Personally." says Mr. Halberstadt, "1 would not advise that the work be done at all. unless it be done accu rately and in such manner as to carry weight with the several courts.
