Jubilee Meeting To-day's meeting was in the natiure of a jubilee. The members were in high spirits over the opinion of Judge Kun kel sustaining the bequest of the Fleming residence in North P'ronti street to the Civic Club and the ses-! slon was one or the largest and most enthusiastic in years. The feature of the afternoon was the annual report Common Sense Will Stop Horrible Rheumatism The famous Opie, a great English painter, was once asked what he mixed his paints with. "Brains," he replied. Rheumatism cannot live long in a body that is cared for by a head full of brains. Brains or common sense Is an avowed enemy to rheumatism.

Mrs. Henderson dwelt at some length 011 the work of the club along lines of child labor and good I citizenship and noted that the club will encourage the bringing to Har risburg next Fall of the exhibit which lately attracted so much attention in Philadelphia, setting forth the causes of feeble mindedness and means of | prevention. President's Report 1 The report Is In part as follows: "Judge Kunkel's decision that the Civic Club legally owns 'Overlook,' flic beautiful property bequeathed to it by Mrs. William Fleming, was will not reach down to the throne room of the trouble. What nature wants is more power to the blood. Many forms or rheumatism are caused by secret deplorable diseases. Nature surely uses common sense and tells the man to get rid of this bad blood. Here is a chance for vou to use your common sense. How? Get a bottle of S. S. 5., the greatest blood purifier ever known.

In a measure, the disappointment or not having our own clubhouse, has been modified by the splendid co-oper ation of the various agencies engaged i in the betterment of Harrisburg. ! "Much of the best work done by the club this year has been in co-operation with these agencies. "The Health Department and Dr. Kaunick were assured last Spring of the hearty interest which we had in ihe two weeks' task of making Harris j burg healthier » d cleaner. "Through the courtesy of the (school board, the park and street j commissioners, and the anti-tubercu losis society we were able to open the | Susquehanna school building. Fifth and Seneca streets, Tor the summer ; months as a vacation school for tuber cular children, bringing the children from the out-door school at Loehiel to share the benefit. | "At the request of Mr. Boyer, then (president of the school board, the Civic Club bought and made eighty jone suitable costumes for the out-door children to wear in the municipal pa rade last September. "We also acted as judges as to the school that made the best appearance in the parade. •VTlie passing of the curfew ordin ance by the City Council, the eighth of I last June was of the greatest interest |to the Civic Club, but the failure to ! have a signal sounded at nine or nine (thirty o'clock is to be regretted as the children in the streets will have 110 | way to know when to go home. Donated Clothing "The annual appeal for clothing for the patients of Harrisburg and Dau phin county at Mont Alto met with a generous response, four barrels of warm clothing were sent there by the Ichairman of that committee, Mrs. Wil liam Bailey.

"We endorsed the Patriot's bringing to Harrisburg the Westfield Pure Food Exhibit, had a Civic Club afternoon, and did what we could to further the interest.

Municipal Department Miss Ra hel Pollock, chairman of Ithe1 the municipal department reports: "The municipal department met with a great loss in the death of Mrs. A. S. Koser who had been the faith ful secretary for many years. The ; greatest work for the department was having the curfew law passed and the I j fly contests. The committee for the! eurfew r had worked hard for two' years, they were Sirs. A. 1,. Martin, j chairman; Mrs. George A. Gorgas, j Miss Fannie Eby and Mrs. Robert J Irons. "The first contest for June and July in which there were 314% pints of Hies' ; brought by the children. Five cents aj pint were paid for these flies. With one j prize of So, one $2.50 and one for sl.l i The same prizes were duplicated by Sir. Strouse, of the Globe Clothing] store. "The second contest was for August and September and 717 pinis of flies j were bought for which five cents a j pint were pair and five prizes given.! Total number of flies in the two coti-| tests 1021% or over sixteen bushels.) j cost $70.40. Ten stores used Civic j Club trai>s but these flies were not j | paid for. "The committee on smoke nuisance j reports strong opposition by all the [companies making smoke. There rmust be a city law compelling the , companies to do everythin possible to j prevent smoke. j "The Civic Club has been asked by Dr. Raunick through this department l (to use their influence to have the city I provide an ambulance, and a sanitary i hospital. Educational Department ! The educational department, Mrs. ■ j fl. U Hosford, chairman, reports: I Through the efforts of the educational' I department, the Susquehanna 1 school at Fifth and Seneca streets was* open during the summer for the bene- j fit of the tubercular children from I j lioth open-air schools in the city. All j it he work being under the supervision l of the Civic Club. I.cngtic of Gitori Citizenship "This work is carried on In 16 schools. Five new members took up 'this work. At Christmastime the de partment with the aid of many mem j bers and outsiders, provided enter tainment for each of the open-air j schools. The Susquehanna school was j presented with a Victrola and 30 rec ords. About 40 children at the Lo chlel school were given a turkey din ner. Fifteen records were also do nated to this school; 20 records to tlie Penn school; 40 records were given to j t lie Downey building to be used for the defective children and 30 records i to the Y. W. C. A. for use in their in dustrial work. The matter of present ing a piano to the l.ochiel School has been taken up. The continuation of the open-air school during this sum mer has been taken up with the I school board and approved. The same arrangements were made as last year. A much larger garden plot has been secured as a result of a request to the school board, and the out-door depart ment will co-operate with the educa tional department and the gardening work will be carried on much more extensively than was possible last year. We are greatly indebted to City ! Commissioner Lynch lor having the i ground prepared for the gardens. The | officers elected for the coming year are Mrs. H. G. Keffer, chairman, and Mrs. M. G. Hilpert. vice-chairman. Out-Door Department. "The out-door department. Miss Buehler, chairman, reported: At the Patriot office, Saturday morning. May 1, 656 children applied for seeds, all of them were supplied and the back yard gardens started. The town was divided into nine districts, each in charge of a committee, and three in spections were made in the course of the summer. The severe storms of midsummer made havoc of the little gardens, and some gave up, but a sur prising number repaired damages and continued to the end. Eighteen prizes were given, ranging from $5 to sl. "After the children's competition was well under way the Telegraph of fered SIOO in prizes for various kinds of gardens through the Civic Club. Thanks to the generosity and public spirit of the Telegraph many corners of the town were brighter, and many people are learning how much can be done to beautify the town with very small outlay of money. "The work for the summer and next year looms up before us. the Civic Club stands for much that is worth while in this community and we must I measure up to It, the municipal de partment will have its smoke and noise nuisance to look after as well as the interest we hope to create In ambu lance and sanitary hospital. "The educational department its special work in out-door schools and among foreign and defective children. The out-door department will continue to make Harrlsburg a healthier and more beautiful place to live in. We owe many people thanks. The news papers. the School Board, the City Council and the Chamber of Com merce, they have all helped to make the Civic Club of Harrisburg what it ought to be, let us as the club's mem bers adopt this creed borrowed from far-off California: ""Keep us, God, from pettiness, let' us be large in thought, word and ' deed, Let us be done with fault find ing, and leave off self-seeking.

BIG WORK AHEAD FOR WEST SHORE FIREMEN'S UNION Plans Considered to Broaden Scope of Work to Take in Public Improvements Plans for broadening the scope of work of the West Shore Firemen's Union are now being considered by Ira i K. Shanil, of West Fairview. the presi | dent, and it may be possible that at the next meeting tlie name of the or- J ganization will be changed so as to include both the Firemen's Union and j Municipal i.eague or Civic League. Mr. Shaull is a hearty advocate of j improvement along the West Shore i and was one of the men who gave the ' J movement suggested by the Telegraph ! some time ago a great boost. While | I West Shore folks were talking of the advantages of a municipal improve- j ment organization in their territory, I [ members of the fire companies in all I , of the AVest Shore towns koI together I and organized a Firemen's Union. Mr. Shaull said at the time that lie was Ulesirous of having the union take up j improvement questions of all kinds, | but that he believed an improvement organization would be formed. How- 1 i ever, such an organization was not , | forthcoming, and inasmuch as many questions based on public improve ments have come before th * union, Mr. Shaull now advocates the chang-i ing of the constitution and by-laws of the union so that the scope of work can be enlarged. The president of the | union also recommends that the name , ! o r the organization include some refer- | t ence to improvements. The Firemen's Union is composed of I some of the most prominent men in cross-river towns, and although there j I are many boosters in the section who ! 1 are not members of any fire company, j I the proposed change in the consti tutions will give them a voice in help ing to encourage improvement. Mr. Shaull has decided to recom- [ mend the incorporation of improve-' ment work with the work usually done by a firemen's union because he does not believe two big organizations, such as both would need t)c, could work successfully in the territory. He is sure that the one organization, which would be helpful to both the firemen | and improvements, could accomplish ' much good. The Firemen's UYiion has already discussed street conditions, water, dan gerous car stops and similar questions. Tree Planting in City Considered Important William Penn In his concessions to J the settlers of Pennsylvania specified that every purchaser of land should leave one acre of trees for every five acres cleared. Ex-Governor Penny-1 packer in his thumbnail history of I Pennsylvania says this was the begin ning ot the forestry movement in j America. In view of the need of tree planting at the present time, it would seem that Harrisburg might well give attention to the next Arbor Day in the general planting of trees in this city.

MORE STRENGTH FOR FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE If ail the old people in Harrisburg realized what Vinol will do for them, we would not lie able to get enough of it to supply the demand. We quote I from a recent letter received from j Mrs. A. E. Carson of Kingston, N. Y, I She says:—"l am fi9 years of age, and had been ailing for a long time with indigestion. I got run-down, ! was weak, diezy and could not sleep at night. I consulted two doctors i who said I had hardening of the ar teries and at my age could not ex | pect to be strong again. My daugh ! ter would give me no peace until I tried Vinol, as it had done so much I for her. I have taken five bottles tfmi ; my health and strength have cotnt back, so 1 am able to do all the house work for my family of (our, and I am ! recommending Vinol to all my I friends." The reason Vinol is so beneficial tn I old people is because it contains the very elements needed to replace de clining strength with renewed vigor, 1 viz: the medicinal elements of fresh cod livers without oil, peptonate of Iron, beef peptone, and a mild tonic | wine.
