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.
In sending orders it is necessary to'
Rive full name, age, occupation and
-omplete address, as this proposition is
made only to heads of honorable and 1
appreciative families needing the infor-1
matlon the work contains. Merely ad-1

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

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.

Government. It was news, however,
to Captain Deschelles that cable dis

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

! added that he would make a request
i that his ship be equipped with guns
when he returns to France.

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

—ask your doctor —he does know.
Don't allow baby to be kissed—you
don't know what disease the kisser

Don't for a minute doubt that your

I ing whooping cough red cough,
j Don't forget that whooping cough
caused more deaths in Harrisburg last
j year than did diphtheria.
Don't forget that membraneous
croup is diphtheria pure and simple.
Don't forget that ten babies fed on
the bottle die to one fed at the breast.
Don't forget that the only way to
make cow's milk like human milk is to
feed it to the mother.
Don't nurse the baby at night after
it is three months old.

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. Ex
perience has taught some of the coun
ties that unless the work is properly
done, attempted valuations are found
