EIGHTH WEEK OF EPIDEMIC By Associated Press New York, Aug. 19.—The end of the eighth week of the epidemic of infan tile paralysis was marked by no mate rial change in its development. Dur ing the 24 hours ending at 10 a. m. thirty-six children were killed by the plague and 134 new cases were re ported to the Health Department as against 32 deaths and 125 new cases reported yesterday. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH PLAGUE TAKES JUMP IN PHILA. Eight Cases Since Midnight; Dr. Dixon Bars Shipment of Bodies Philadelphia, Aug. 19. lnfantile paralysis made a new record for fa talities in Philadelphia when reports to the health bureau showed eight deaths and three new cases from mid night to noon to-day. Dr. Samuel G. Dixon to-day placed a ban on the shipment of bodies of infantile paralysis victims through or into Pennsylvania from other States. In a statement Dr. Dtxon disagrees with the prediction made at the con ference of State health authorities in Washington yesterday that infantile paralysis will be prevalent next year, saying that no man can predict such a thing. He cited the experience of Pennsylvania which in 1910 had more than 1,000 cases and comparatively few since then until this year. So far the State has only crossed the 500 mark. Experience says Dr. Dixon, has proved that an epidemic of the disease reaches its height in August and it may there fore be expected to diminish from this time forward. Citizens' Committee Will Defray Expenses of Obtaining Blood For Malady Serum New York, Aug. 19.—The organiza tion of a committee of citizens to raise a found of $2,000 to defray the ex penses of obtaining blood from per sons in this city who have recovered from attacks of infantile paralysis was announced to-day. From this blood a serum is extracted which is believed by Dr. Abraham Zingher of Willard Parker Hospital to be efficica cious in the treatment of the disease if administered in its early stages. The committee has obtained the names of about seven hundred per sons. Plague Conference One Man Affair Dr. Dixon Declares Philadelphia, Aug. 19. Dr. Samuel G. Dixon. Pennsylvania's State Health Commissioner, was "much surprised'' to find when he arrived in Washington that the conference of State health au thorities. called by Secretary McAdoo to discuss infantile paralysis, was run not by the surgeon general of the Unit ed States, but bv Dr. Haven Emerson, Health Commissioner of New York. Dr. Dixon attended the conference on Thursday, its opening day, but left that evening for Philadelphia, "as every thing had been left in the hands of 'the committee." I "The committee' was the one on ways !to suppress the disease. According to [ news dispatches this committee yester \ day made a pronouncement against I quarantines by one State or community ' against another in the fight against in fantile paralysis. Dr. Dixon said this ; pronouncement emanated from the ; New York City health authorities, i "When I went to Washington, I 1 thought I had been called there at the instance of the surgeon general of the : United States," said Dr. Dixon. "But when we entered the room the Health i Commissioner of New York City was at the door and shook hands with us." Dr. Dixon defended the quarantine, I as applied under his direction on Au i gust 9 against children under 16 years I of age, who had been exposed to infan tile paralysis, from entering this State. "New York and New Jersey are hot beds of the disease," he said. "Pennsyl ; vania must protect herself, or nobody | will protect her. SO KEY CASES IX NEW JERSEY Trenton, N. J., Aug. 19. Eighty I new cases of infantile paralysis devel oped in New Jersey to-day. according j to repuorts to the State Health authori ties. Four new municipalities were a*- | felted. The total number of cases in ! the State since July 1 is 1,950. Keystone Motor Car Co. Have Prosperous Season I Charles H. Barner, manager of the Keystone Motor Car Co., received sev eral carloads of the Peerless Eights this week. The exceptional demand for this car since coming out with a 1 popular priced model had kept the factory running at full* capacity and the demand was greater than the supply on hand during the forepart of the season. The factory Is now catch ing up with the orders and shipments are assured so as to follow the car -1 loads received this week.

Men are ouying better and better lawn mowers, and reapers, and printing presses, and gasoline engines and pumps. Why ? Because they find it pays. Probably there's no better example of this in the case of automobiles than Chalmers cars. Figures show that over 75 percent of men who have bought Chalmers cars this year previously owned a SSOO, S6OO or SBOO car. Nearly every 3400 r. p. m. we have sold this year has been to someone who has driven a lower-priced car. It pays to buy a better car as much as it pays to buy better machinery. But it seems that the great big buying public has the same idea, too. I' m particularly strong for the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers because it has tremendous endurance. There are now more than 1,000,000 miles of use to the credit of this car. Besides the fac tory writes me that the 3400 r. p. m. motor has a service record of 99.21 percent perfect. If you never had a run in the 1917 Chalmers, let me know. I want you to get this thrill whether you have any idea of buying or not. DEALERS: Keystone Motor Car Co.

LIGHT BOUQUETS FOR MERCHANTS Electrical Magazine Tells of Harrisburg's Business Streets in Issue Unusual tribute to the progressive spirit of Harrisburg's merchants Is paid by the Signs of the Times, an electrical advertising magazine, in its current issue In an article headed "America's Brightest and Busiest Streets." "As a man is Judged by the com pany he keeps, likewise is the city judged by its merchants and its mer chants by the advertising they do," says the magazine "and there are none that better realize this than the merchants of Harrisburg, Pa. So the need for an educational campaign to be waged to compel them to toe the mark of progress Is eliminated. They need no prodding to keep up with the vanguard. The progressive mer chant does not or cannot consider his business successfully advertised until he has an electric sign flashing his message by night, when people are in a more receptive mood and have the leisure to allow a consideration of the thoughts that are delivered to their minds. - "Several of the streets of Harris burg are lighted by the boulevard system of illumination, show windows are well taken care of, and practi cally all the leading merchants have electric signs In front of their re spective places of business. The en tire business section has a cheery at mosphere at night which is the much sought-for condition. The Harrisburg Light and Power Company has been very active in promoting better and more abundant illumination in the business section with noticeable re sults. The Harrisburg signs are of the common sense type and are a credit to the lighting company that sold them, to the merchants and to the city." AUGUST 19, 1916.
