Your Tonic
0k for Spring
flj * should do these things
-clear away waste;
J dispel inflammation;
ja invigorate the bodily
processes. After a
heard winter your
| blood may be clogged,
r your digestion not up
to the mark, and
stagnant areas (catarrh)
l J exist in the membranes

Peruna
Invigorates
all your body, helps to soothe
away all inflammation, restores
the irregular appetite to a healthy
condition, and clears away all waste.
It's a real tonic—especially good in
catarrhal conditions like indigestion,
after effects of grip, convalescence,
and siting lassitude. You may
tike it with perfect safety, confident that it
has been of benefit for 44 years to thousands,
and hence possesses real merit. What it

GEORGE W. HARRIS
George W. Harris, governor of the '
third district of the International As- •
sociation of Rotary Clubs, of Wash- j
ington, was guest of honor at the noon
luncheon of the Harrisburg Rotary, j
Club to-day. George W. Mumma, vice- ■
president, presided and made the in- j ]
troductory speech. j,
Sir. Harris is a photographer of ,
Presidents and one of his stories had
to do with the first time he was called
upon to photograph a Cabinet meet
ing. It was when Roosevelt was Presi
dent and he told it to Illustrate the
necessity of business men getting the
views of their working forces on all
matters pertaining to the conduct of {,
the concern. At the head of the Cabi- j
net table sat the President, said he, |
and in turn each Cabinet member re
cited the story of his department, j
Then each member was called upon j
to give his views concerning the prob- j
lems presented, and finally the Presi
dent spoke, reviewing the whole sit- j
uation as presented through the varied
opinions outlined, and upon this con-i
sensus of opinion tlie Cabinet came to j
a conclusion.
Mr. Harris suggested that this |
method of procedure might be helpful i
also in meetings of the Rotary Club, j
His address was sparkling with wit 1
and wisdom and for the most part he i
told'what Rotary clubs were doing in 1
the way of entertainment and for the
good of their communities the conn- j
try over. So excellent was the speech j
that it was nearly 2 o'clock when the!
meeting broke up.
To-night Mr. Harris will be the j
guest of the club at a meeting in the
Public Library, after which the mem- i
iters and their ladies will go to the [
Majestic Theater, with Floyd Hopkins
as host, and will enjoy a vaudeville
bill provided by the Rotarians them
selves. The Public Library meeting
will start promptly at 7.30.
Bishop Berry Protests
Against Cash Revivals
Special to the Telegraph
Pittsburgh. Pa., April 18. ln an
address before the Methodist ministers
of Pittsburgh and vicinity yesterday
Bishop J. F. Berry, Philadelphia, de
nounced "commercial evangelism,"
and declared the shunting of the pas
tors to the background by "tabernacle
machinery" was a disastrous blow to
the evangelistic effectiveness of tlic
church. He said, in part:
"I am absolutely opposed to this
highly-organized tabernacle form of
evangelism. I would like to take away
this temptation to commercialism,
which is sapping the very essence of
religion out of the Gospel. 1 can give
inside facts to show you that I know
what lam talking about. Everything
♦ hat is done during the campaign Is
done with a view of making the col
lection on the last day a large free
will offering. Everything is money,
money, money.
"The home minister may do a little
personal work, such as taking up
csrds and ushering: but he is entirely
left out of the real work. And when
vou put the pastor out of the evangel
istic field vou strike a disastrous blow
at the evangelistic effectiveness of the
church. The evangelists usually are
men who are unable to fill charges,
and have been placed where they are
by the graces of the Bishop."

Lancaster Men Pledge Them
selves to Back Roosevelt;
May Not Be Certified
By Associated Press
' Lancaster, Pa.. April 18. —The office
of the Secretary of the Common- 1
wealth, which on Saturday refused to
accept and tile the statements of Dr. j
David O. Martin and John P. Smith.!
candidates from Lancaster county for:
delegates to the Republican national j
convention, pledging themselves t>. | i
the support of Theodore Roosevelt. J
this morning accepted and tiled new I
affidavits and statements submitted 1
by Dr. Martin and Mr. Smith sub-1
stantially the same as the one rejected
on Saturday.
The question remains open of ■
whether the Secretary of the Com-'
monwealth will certify to the county
commissioners of Lancaster the in- i
struction to print below the names of i
these candidates on the official ballot j
these words: "Promise to support |
Theodore Roosevelt for president of j
the United States."
Counsel notified the office of the
Secretary of the Commonwealth to
day that if the refusal to file the state- j
ment was insisted upon mandamus |
proceedings would bo instituted at;
once.
Officials at the office of the Secre- j
tary of the Commonwealth denied to-1
day that they had ever rejected the!
petitions. Chief Clerk Thorn statod
that he had informed the men who l
presented the papers that the declar
ation would be certified according to !
the form In the act. He still held to:
that position to-day and the chances;
are that unless legal proceedings are \
started and an order made the Roose
velt declaration will not be filed as
presented.
DEALS BODY BLOW
TO ANTIDANCING
[Continued From First Page.]
the Rev. Dr. James F.BulUtt and Her-1
man Knisely, of the State Department;
of Labor and Industry, were among
those who took part in the discussion
that lasted an hour. Air. Knisely j
read an Interesting letter from D. F.
Garland, director of public welfare ol j
Dayton, Ohio, in which the munici
pally conducted playground and re
creation center Idea was heartily ad
vocated.
Miss Hanaw, who has charge of half
a dozen or more dancing halls which
are controlled' by the municipality of
Baltimore, was the first to organize
the movement after six years' earnest
effort. Her lecture last evening was]
the first of a series of the kind which j
the Social Workers' Club has planned. !
Before the meeting .Miss Hanaw was'
taken over the city's parks and play- !
grounds by City Commissioner K. Z. j
Gross and Assistant Park Superinten
dent V. Grant Forrer.
A l ew llody Blows
| Here are a few of the body blows |
' that Miss Hanaw handed the anti
| dance theorists:
Modern day extremists, those who
. themselves arc not dancers or visi
tors to dance halls, are spreading
broadcast inflamed accusations
which, at best, with their "power
of suggestion" succeed in im
planting in the mind of young peo
ple thoughts and ideas of so un
healthy a nature that wrong might
easily result.
Nor do I believe that public dance
hulls are filled with evllminded
men. who arc prone to lead astray,
through the dance, a well-meaning,
clean-minded girl.
Some people, it is true, dance in
a vulgar way, often only because
they liave never learned a better
way. or else they do so unconsci
ously.
Most of those who dance, do so
because they enjoy the rythm, the
music and the sociability of the
dance hall, and there Is no more
danger to the morals of the young
in the dance than is to be found
anywhere that young people of op
posite sex come into social contact.
It is for us to place around the
dance hall, the theater, the picture
show, tne tennis court, the skating
rink, the croquet grounds, the card
table and even the church, such in
| lluences as will create within the
mind and heart of young folks tlio
{ best standard, the highest ideals.
Those who oppose dancing have
made dancing more nopular.
Recently, in Baltimore. "Billy"
Sunday preached a scathing sermon
against amusements he particu
larly denounced the dance—every
type of It. He said he more respect
for a saloonkeeper than for a dance
i tutor. Far be It from me to ques
tion the sincerity of Mr. Sunday.
Undoubtedly he judges all dances
by certain vulgar dances he has
witnessed. Only last week a group
of working girls (twenty in num
ber), all of whom dance, declared
iitat Mr. Sunday's idea of dancing
had given them unhealthful
thoughts. Whenever they dance
now, they said, they are suspicious
of every man and doubtful of them
selves.
Dancing is healthful, beautiful,
recreative, and brings happiness to
those who participate, and provides
pure fun in opposition to deadly
j work.
Physicians advocate It. social
workers advise it, and society sanc-
I tions It.
Those who care to be immoral
need not resort to dancing for that
purpose.
