SAYS HOT WATER
EACH OUr KEEPS
THE DOCTOR AIM
Drink glass of hot water before
breakfast to wash out
the poisons.
Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by
opening the sluices of the system each
morning and flushing out the whole
of the internal poisonous, stagnant
matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous day's indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food Into the stomach. The
action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
tplendHl appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex
tracting a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the Inside
organs.
The millions of people who are both
ered with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism: others
who have sallow skins, blood disor
ders and sickly complexions, are urged
to get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate, from the drug store, which
will cost very little, but is sufficient to
makf anyone a pronounced crank on
the subject of internal sanitation.—

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
MARKETING GETS
MUCH STUDY NOW
State Officials Plan to Improve
the General Situation by
District System
The question of finding suitable and
ample markets for their crops, which
has worked a hardship to the farm
ers of Pennsylvania for. many years
and in some communities still works
against the efforts of the farmers to
raise maximum crops, is on a fair way
to be solved. The State Department
of Agriculture is now engaged in work
ing out some method of assisting the
farmers in isolated districts to market
their farm products. The problem of
the best means and method to develop
markets for the products of the farms
that are somewhat, removed from the
cities and the market centers Is a big
one. but plans that are now under way
are expected to aid materially during
the coming season.
With the source of sale for their
products established, many farmers
will work for better quality and larger
production in their farm crops and the
aid that the Department of Agricul
ture can give in finding a market for
these products will mean much more
profit to the farmer for his labors.
The marketing problem is one which
has the attention of the United States
government at the present, time
through the bill introduced in Con
gress by Senator Sheppard, of Texas.
This bill provides for the establish
ment of a National Chamber of Agri
culture with units made tip by town
ship, county and State bodies. In this
way the marketing work will be organ
ized in communities and will have ihe
assistance of the county. State and
national associations to carry it for
ward.
The bill provides that an organ
ization of twenty farmers in a town
ship can form a nnlt and when four
township units have been organized
a county chamber can be organized.
When one-third of the counties of any
State are organized a State Chamber
of Agriculture can be formed and
granted a charter by the national body.
Prom its inception the President of the
United States has the authority to ap
point the necessary officers and nine
members, six of whom shall be prac
tical farmers.
The work of the organization will
consist, of helping to market the prod
ucts of the farm and provides that
when any member or townhip unit
desires to offer for sale or to purchase
any agricultural product or commodity
related to the farm they communicate
with the secretary of the local cham
ber. who shall meet their demand or
communicate it to the secretary of the
county chamber, who in turn com
municates with the State chamber, and
if the order cannot be filled there the
matter goes to the national chamber to
provide a market for the products
offered for sale or desired to be pur
chased.
This system will provide a nation
wide market, if necessary,'to dispose
of the products offered by any one
township or county unit and is thought
to be a big step in solving the mar
keting problem. The bill is sponsored
and backed by the Secretaries and
Commissioners of Agriculture in a
•number of the most prominent agri
cultural States. .
' S. P. C. A. Notes 1
Next week will be, "Be Kind to
Animals Week," followed by Humane
Sunday, May 21. This will be an oc
casion of great importance to ani
mals all over the United States. In
many places elaborate programs have
been prepared, covering every day of
the week.
Boston and Philadelphia are two
cities especially famous for their in
terest in animal protection. In each
of these places the following outline
will be carried out:
Monday—Editorials in all the local
newspapers; Tuesday. Addresses in
the public schools; Wednesday, noon
meetings for factory employes; Thurs
day, Special addresses to Boy Scouts,
and Teamsters' Unions; Friday, Chil
dren's Pets Exhibitions; Saturday,
which is Natural Horse Day, work
horse parades; Sunday, sermons on
"Kindness" in the churches, and spe
cial exercises in Sunday Schools.
Is llarrisburg to fall behind in this
humane work? The local S. P. C. A.
is active and interested, but it can do
little without the co-operation of the
clergy, teachers in day schools and
Sunday Schools, and parents. Why
not help make a red-letter week in the
anti-cruelty calendar?
If ignorant how to go about it, in
formation or suggestions will be
gladly given by inquiry at Society
Headquarters. No. 7 North Third
Street. Bell Telephone 2687.
Many a good work fails because the
workers have an exaggerated notion of
what must be done to make an im
pression. The llarrisburg S. P. C. A.
does not ask impossibllites; it does
ask that every one who comes in
touch with children, who employs
drivers, who has opportunity to inter
est large numbers of people—ln the
schools, factories or churches, will, in
some simple way, try to develop a
Quick Way to Whiten
Discolored Teeth
While the cleansing of the teeth
seems fairly well assured by regular use
of the tooth brush, this can by no means
be depended upon to maintain the
whiteness and luster of the enamel.
This fact is only too well appreciated
by thousands of particular men and
women who, in spite of the liberal use
of various tooth powders, pastes and
liquids, seem unable to remove the tinge
of yellow or gray from the front of
their teeth, or black or brownish
fringes about the edges.
It will be welcome news to all such
that every stain and discoloration can
be completely and quickly removed by
the use of ordinary retined avatol. If
used daily instead of the usual denti
frice, the disagreeable tints will not re
appear and the teeth will always have
that spotless milky whiteness and
sparkling beauty so much admired but
so seldom seen. The effectiveness of
avatol is all the more remarkable be
cause II is so perfectly harmless. In
stead of ecratuning or eating into the
enamel or injuring the gums, it helps
keep teeth, gums and mouth in a
healthy state. Druggists usuallv have
the refined avatol in 23-cent tubes and
It can be used the same way a tooth
paste is used, putting .lust a little on the
brush.—Advertisement.

feeling that animals have rights
whtch It is wrong not to consider.
Here is a way to observe "Be Kind
to Animals Week," that will be a good
business proposition aa well as show
humane feeling: Let every merchant
who deals in humane articles, such as
harness, collars, nets, blankets for
hors 3 and dogs; also pure foods for
birds and animals, advertise his wares
in the daily papers from May 15-20,
calling attention to the nation-wide
anti-cruelty celebration.
A prize for which every boy or girl
in Harrisburg may compete next week
is offered by the American Humane
Education Society. Three prizes have
been offered, the first prize of $5 for
the Pand of Mercy having the largest
number of members; the second prize
of $3, for the band with next largest
number of members; and the third
prize of $2, to the band that is third
in size.
There are no stipulations save that
the band be formed botween May 15-
20, that it be a "Be Kind to Animals"
Band of Mercy; that it be a newly
organized band with new members;
and that all reports he made before
May 25 to the Harrisburg S. P. C. A.
in order that the names may be for
warded to Boston before the contest
closes on June 1, 1910.
The boy or girl who loves animals
and likes to see them kindly treated,
should start at once to form his
friends into a Band of Mercy. Who
knows? The first prize may come
to Harrisburg.
The Harrisburg S. P. C. A. has sent
letters to every clergyman and every
school teacher in the city asking them
to co-operate in the observance of
"Be Kind to Animals Week," and Hu
mane Sunday. Special literature to
suit their needs may be obtained by
writing to the American Humane As

Classes That Will Permit
Entries From All
According to reports reaching thej
State Department of Agriculture the
proposed midwinter corn and apple
show has stimulated interest in corn
planting. The plans for the show
which will be held under the auspices
of the Pennsylvania poard of Agricul

hi bits.
Class for winners of corn clubs
organized by Pennsylvania banks.
Class for corn clubs organized by

JITNEY RULES IN
EFFECT AT ONCE
Public Service Commission Is
sues a General Regulation
For the Whole State
A general regulation to affect all
jitneys or auto-busses operated in the
State of Pennsylvania has been framed
by the Public Service Commission
which it is believed will cover all
phases of the situation caused by the
operation of such vehicles as common
carriers. It was promulgated last
night and is the result of careful con
sideration of the entire subject by the
commissioners.
Some time ago the commission ruled
that jitneys having regular runs must
take out certificates. The new rules
will make the conditions under which
they operate.
The order is substantially as fol
lows:
Certificates of public convenience
evidencing the approval of the com
mission will be "limited to the route
and number of cars and particularly
to each automobile or auto-bus desig
nated in the certificate." Application
may be made for the approval of addi
tional cars, including substitutions
and replacements, certified by affi
davit. but certificates will be non
transferable.
Automobiles or auto-busses author
ized to be common carriers shall have
painted on each side of the vehicle
three lines containing the name of the
peison to whom certificate is issued,
the words "auto-bus" and the num
ber of the Public Service certificate.
Persons holding certificates will not
be allowed to carry more persons than
the seating capacity of the designated
car, and the filed rates and charges
must be posted in each car. The com
mission reserves the right to revoke
any certificate.
