CHEF AT LOCAL
HOSTELRY BENEFITED
BY TANLAC
Eneti Tcth, Chef Bt Harris Ilau* Hotel
Says That Tanlac Relieved Ixjng-
Standing Ailments.
If the dishes at the Harris House
have a new a ppetizingness these days
it is because Chef Tetli is back in form
again and is once more taking an in
terest in his work.
The chef says: "For a long time I
was as miserable as I could be. I had
suffered for a long time with catarrh
of the stomach which had resulted in
indigestion, in one of its severest
forms.
"I could not sleep on my right side;
I had terrible headaches and I would
often bloat up with so much gas that
it would press against my heait caus
ing me great distress, and I had violent
vomiting spells.
"I had tried all sorts of remedies
without getting ti. "lightest respite
and 1 was in despair. But one day
while I was in Gorgas' store I happen
ed iu talk with the Tanlac man and
he advised me to try Tanlac.
"To my surprise and delight it has
improved my condition almost beyond
belief for I now feel tip top.
"My appetite and desire for food
has come back to me. my stomach
seems to have been restored to its
natural vigor and all signs of my old
trouble have left me. I sleep soundly
and restfully and wake up feeling glad
that I am alive. I am as happy all
day long as if I had concocted a
brand new chef d'oevre."
Tanlac. the famous reconstructive
tonic and invigorant is now being
specially introduced here at Gorgas
drug store and all who suffer f r om
stomach troubles or run-down debili
tated systems should talk with the

procession passed.
Brief religious exercises opened the
services at the Cathedral in which
Bishop McDevttt participated. At the
close Monsignor Hassett offered pray
er, and the new Bishop was escort
ed to his chair by the visiting Bishops.
Promise Co-operntion
The opening address of welcome
was made by the Rev. J. C. Thompson
of Steelton. acting as Chancellor. Fol
lowing a tribute to the late Bishop J.
W. Shanahan. Father Thompson cal
led attention to the activity of the
clergy of the Harrisburg diocese and
said in part:
"You need have no fear as to
hearty co-operation. Your labors in
the past have shown your efforts suc
cessful in the upbuilding of the
church in the community from which
you come, and 1 hope your stay in
Harrisburg may be a long and happy
one. What we lack In numbers, we
make up in spirit. In behalf of the
clergy I extend to you a most cordial
welcome."
David E. Tracy, who welcomed the
Bishop in behalf of the laity said:
David K. Tracy Speaks For Iit y
"Right Reverend and Dear Bishop:
f consider it indeed a great privilege
to be selected as the representative of
the laity of your diocese to extend to
you their most hearty welcome upon
this occasion. Knowing that the great
honor bestowed upon you is not of
your own volition, and that you would
have preferred remaining in the field
In which you have labored so success
fully for many years, at first thought
we almost hesitate to offer you our
congratulations.
"This feeling, however, rapidly van
ishes when we realize that this occa
sion is the result of the high apprecia
tion in which those labors were held
by your superiors in whose power it \
was to confere upon you the great,
honor which rests upon you today. ;
"Consequently wc ask you to ac-1
cept our sincere congratulations, a !
most hearty welcome and our best
wishes and prayers that your life
among us will be a long and happy
one.
Strong in Spirit
"While our diocese is rather widely
scattered and comparatively speaking
not very populous, still we hope to;
show you that while lacking in num
bers we are strong in spirit, and that i
you will always have our most hearty,
co-operation in all of your undertak-:
ings.
Under the guidance of our late de- (
parted and dearly beloved Bishop:
Shanahan our diocese, considering its j
resources, has made wonderful strides |
during the past fifteen years. I have j
heard him remark upon more than j
one occasion, that the spirit of hia:
flock, under the circumstances as they I
existed, was indeed a great encourage- I
ment to him in his work.
Dearly beloved bishop, T want to i
say to you as the representative of the !
laity of your .diocese, that we not only,
stand ready to offer you this same en- j
couragement. but to increase our ef- ,
forts that you may accomplish still
greater things.
"We realize that in many of the j
trials which will beset you in the,
course of your mission, we cannot be ;
of material assistance, but the thought,
that our prayers for j our guidance are
always with you. will surely be a con
solation and help.
Welcome to Harrisburg
"As a citizen of Harrisburg. I wel
come you to our city. During the past
fifteen years Harrisburg has made 1
wonderful strides along the line of i
civic improvement. We offer you as
a home, a city clean, healthy and I
beautiful, a city whose plan of public i
improvements has been used as a j
model by many communities of larger !
size. A city, whose people as a whole,
are broad-minded and free from petty
prejudices.
"We regret we do not have for you
a home which you might call your
own, but trust that our desires along
this line may be shortly consum
mated.
"We trust and pray that the Heav
enly Father will grant you health and
strength, as these blessings added to ;
the administrative and constructive
abilities displayed by you in your
former office guarantee for you and i
for the diocese of Harrisburg a fu
ture filled with great accomplishments..
"We fully realize your dependence j
upon the co-operation of your people
and in their name I pledge you our j
loyal support. In conclusion I again ■
extend to you a most hearty welcome. I
and our best wishes and prayers for i
a long, happy and successful episco
pate."
Bishop McDevitt responded briefly,
referring to the late Bishop J. W.
Shanahan as a close friend, who had
helped him many times. He said in
part:
"When I uttered a prayer for the
repose of his soul, I did not expect
that I would be his successor. God in
his wisdom saw fit the.t I should take
up the responsibility and I shall try
with God's help to fulfill this responsi
bility. Man cannot change what God
established, and in order to be success
ful I must have the hearty co-opera
tion of both the clergy and laity. The
priests must be my co-laborers. That
I will not lack In co-operation has
been proved to me by the warm ad
dresses of welcome accorded. It is a
great inspiration to receive such
words of welcome and promise and I
can but say that I will give all my
moral strength in my service.
"The memory of my predecessor
and his unfailing deeds will ever be
before me and will be an inspiration
in my work, and I pray that God may
bless this day. the beginning of my
work in Harrisburg, for God, Church
and Country."
The members of the clergy with the
Knights of Columbus escorted Bishop
McDevitt and the visiting clergy to
Cathedral Kail in North street, where
the banquet and reception was held
The Rev. Francis J. Welsh, of Car
lisle was toastmaster. The opening
toast was by Monsignor M. M. Hassett,
of St. Patrick's Cathedral, who spoke
on "Our Diocese." He said in part:

BISHOP McDEVITT ON WAY TO CATHEDRAL FOR INSTALLATION
-- ~* - V MKlra v §1
I diocese over whose destinies you to-'
1 day have come to preside consists of I
| fifteen counties in what we, of j
I this locality, believe to be the fairest j
; portion of the State of Pennsylvania, j
I At one extremity of your diocese is j
I the famous county of l.ancaster. j
i which, I believe, is unequalled for the j
I fertility of its soil in the whole world; I
1 and at the other extremity, in North
| umberland county, nre the almost in- j
! exhaustible sources of the precious an- )
| thracite coal, which have helped to
i make our Commonwealth the envy of
| this entire continent.
; "Between these two extremes of the I
j territory which constitutes the dio- !
cese of Harrisburg we have numerous |
\ great industrial Dlants. such as the'
I Pennsylvania steel works: and within |
[ the limits of our fair Capital City it- j
i self are several important manufac- j
| turing concerns, which contribute ma
terially to the general prosperity. Fori
prosperity is the keynote of this por- '
j tion of Central Pennsylvania: God lias!
blessed us with more than the average!
i of the good things that this earth pro- j
■ vides. In the last two decades for in- :
stance this country has passed through ■
several rather trying industrial crises.]
yet in Harrisburg and its vicinity we!
wore scarcely affected by what else- j
where, proved so calamitous.
Strong' Religious Hotly
i "Of the Capital City itself in which.!
right reverend bishop, you will make I
i your future home, 1 have nothing but i
i good to say. In the first place, to j
| speak of your own particular charge. I
I from nearly eighteen years' experience ]
i of the Catholics of Harrisburg 1 ven- '
ture to say it will be difficult to find a !
i religious body of equal numbers that
have done so much. When your im- i
mediate predecessor came here in \
May, 1599, Harrisburg. had a Catho- j
j lie population of some three thousand ]
| souls, who were easily accommodated j
in two small churches. In the mean-'
I time three new parishes have been i
■ formed, all of which, spiritually and
materially, are in flourishing condi- 1
tion: the debt on the mother churches
• has been paid off without difficulty, l
and to-day the financial obligations on
, your cathedral are but little more than
one-half what Bishop Shanahan found j
! on the old procathedral, eighteen years j
j ago.
"It is, of course, true that the dio- j
j cese contributed largely towards the;
| erection of the cathedral, but the ca- j
! thedral parish cheerfully assumed j
! nearly half of its entire cost, which.
| as 1 have indicated, in just ten years it |
! lias almost wholly paid. And not only
i that but in addition this clubhouse has
been erected for the benefit of the
Catholics of Harrisburg. though whol
ly at the responsibility of the cathedral
parish, and I may tell you In eonti-
I dence there is not the slightest danger
! that the mortgage will be foreclosed.
! For this satisfactory condition let me
here say the credit is entirely due to
a number of generous souls of the city i
: who have become founders of Cathe
j dral Hall, and to the Harrisburg Coun-i
cil of the Knights of Columbus, who.
j when the project was first put for
: ward, guaranteed for ten years a sum
; sufficient to cover all the interest
charges.
"Thus you will see, by dear bishop,
| that the flock entrusted to your care
' is one in which any spiritual shepherd
I may feel satisfaction; for, what I have
j said of the Catholics of Harrisburg 1
could say with equal truth of the
(Catholics of every city, town and ham
let where there is a Catholic church
.in your diocese. Fervet opus, has been
| the watchword for the past two dec
; ades. and the results of living up to the
j motto speak for themselves. Your
i diocese at this moment contains near.
; ly a hundred thousand Catholics, in
seventy-two parishes, whose spiritual
welfare is admirably cared for by one
| hundred and four priests. I may add
that of these seventy-two parishes,
I twenty-seven, or more than a third,
were established by Bishop Shanahan.
i It will. I am sure,please you particular
ly to learn that forty.three parishes
maintain parochial schools, in which
i ten thousand children receive a solid
] Christian education.
\on-CaUiollc Friends
"And now let me speak a word of
jour non-Catholic friends within the
i boundaries of this diocese. I<ong be-
I fore I had an opportunity of judging
for myself I had heard things by no
' means pleasant of the attitude of
i those outside the church towards
Catholics in Central Pennsylvania. In
| this respect the city of Harrisburg lt
| self was supposed to be particularly
distinguished. You can imagine than
eighteen years ago, the little less than
consternation with which I received
I my appointment as rector of the ca
thedral; it was just the last position
i in the diocese that I looked tor or de
| sired. But. there was no getting out
jof the matter, so 1 came. In a little
j while, to my agreeable surprise, I
, found our citizens as a whole just the
! reverse of what 1 supposed. I
; found, for instance, businessmen eor
i dial, affable, courteous and always
. willing to accommodate.
"I found the press of Harrisburg
j perfectly fair, and not only willing but
anxious to give Catholic events of mo
ment their due share of notice, and we
asked no more. In time also I found
what a distinguished personage calls
"our citizenry" in general open-mlr.d
ed; ready even, though brought up in
an atmosphere none too friendly, to
admit our claim to a square deal.
Therefore for many happy, if some
what strenuous years 1 have esteemed
it a prl\ilege to be a citizen of this
charming city, of which we are all so
• -• - ■ * _• - • ■■ ? I
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
| proud; and so far were my original
anticipations from being realized that
; I do not recall a single instance when
! I have not received courteous treat
| ment, publiclv and privately, from all
in Harrisburg with whom my duties,
I have brought me in contact. My ex
j perience. too. 1 may here say, coln
j cided exactly with that of the late
i Bishop Shanahan. Many of you will
recall the fine tribute of silent, re
' spectful attention with which multi
| tudes of Harrisburg citizens viewed his
funeral procession; that was the spon-
I taneous tribute of an entire city to a
I man whom all held in the highest es
j teem.
"I trust 1 have been able thus,
briefly, to show you, right reverend
bishop, that you will find in the new
sphere of duty opened to you by the
decision of the Holy See, which we all
respect, splendid opportunities for
perfecting the various works begun by
your predecessors, and that the condi
tions under which you will work for
the salvation of souls will he found to
be most favorable. That the Holy
Ghost, the plenitude of whose Divine
gifts you received at your consecration,
may bless your labors in His service,
in the territory which is to be the
scene of your future career, is my
most ardent wish on this day when I
gladly transfer to your shoulders 'my
little brief authority' over the diocese
of Harrisburg."
Other toasts were by the Rev. A.
S. Crist who spoke on "Our Diocesan
Clergy,"; the Rev. A. S. Brennen.
whose subject was "Our Regular
Clergy," and "Our Guests." by the
Rev. A. Meuwese. Bishop McDevitt
made the closing address. In intro
ducing the final speaker Father
Welsh said:
Toast master's Address
The toastmaster. the Rev. FY. Fran
cis J. Welsh, of Carlisle, in calling
upon the Rt Rev. Bishop McDevitt to
respond, addressed him in part as fol
lows:
"On February 18, the electric spark]
flashed the sad news across the coun
try that Bishop Shanahan was dying.
Thousands of sorrowing hearts and
lips were raised in fervent supplica
tion to the Father of Mercies that his
life might be spared, but the answer
came back, "The Master is here and
calleth for him.' The great man of
God whose perpetual endeavor was to
do the will of the Master said: 'I
have fought the good fight, I have
kept the faith." and passed from the
sorrows of this vale of tears to the
realms of unending bliss. The beacon
light was dimmed, the pastoral staff
was lowered, the bishop is dead.
"No. tile .bishop lives. The house of
clay crumbles but the office of the
chief shepherd perdures. To-day the
diocese lays aside the somber mantle
of mourning. We have a new father
in Christ. 'I will not leave you or
phans." Christ fulfilled his pledge by
the grace or God and the favor of the
Holy See. We have for our bishop a
man whose reputation for piety and
learning has preceded his coming. A
reputation that has taken flight on
the wings of fame, and wafted its way
across the billowy deep to the throne
of our great White Father in Christ.
As a consequence, the gentle, zealous
priest of God stands in our midst In
vested with the plentitude of sacerdo
tal dignity. He has received the apos
tolic unction
"On the day of our ordination this
question was asked, singly and
severally. 'Promittis obedientia ac
reverentum ordinaio tui et successor!
ejus. Promitto.' (Do you promise to
obey and revere the bishop and his
successors. I promise). Deeply con
scious, therefore, of our solemn obli
gation before God and man, and
prompted by motives of sincerest filial
affection, we welcome you, right rev
erend bishop, with all the cordial gen
erosity of our being. Nor can we be
unmindful of the heroic personal sac
rifices which you, yourself, have made,
when in obedience to the mandate of
superhead of the church, you left your
beloved Philadelphia, the paradesial
spot of Catholic faith, Catholic cul
ture and Catholic loyalty in this coun
try to come to preside over our des
tinies.
"We cannot give you what you have
left. I.ike the Prince of the Apostles
we must cry out and say, 'Gold and
silver we have not. but that which wc
have we give to you,' in unstinted
largeness—our love, our service, our
obedience.
"May your joys be many. Your sor
rows few. May your days be length
ened and when jour sun of life sinks
into the golden West, may the blessed
master whose servant you are say to
you—'Well done, good and faithful
servant.' 1 call upon you, the Rt. Rev.
Philip R. McDevitt, Rishop of Harris
burg."

ASKS MORE TIME ON
SEWAGE PROBLEM
[Continued From First Page]
thresh out the city's sewage disposal
problem, was never answered.
The Sewage Plant Problem
The question of a sewage disposal
plant for Harrisburg was first put up
to the city authorities in July, 1911,
when State Health Commissioner
Dixon's decree on the interceptor prob
lem directed that the city sewage
should be diverted from the river and
disposed of at a suitable plant by
January 1, 1915. Construction of the
interceptor and the connecting up of
the outfalls to the interceptor solved
the problem to a large extent and the
city asked for an extension of time on
the disposal plant question. City Engi
neer Cowden at that time stated that
because of the prospective growth of
the city and the condition of the sewer
system, it was almost impossible to
prepare suitable plans for a plant at
the time. The city, incidentally, was
not ir: financial shape to build a plant,
it was pointed out. as the cost would
be more than half a million.
In March, 1915, Mayor John K.
Royal was notified by Dr. Dixon that
the time limit for emptying sewage
into the river had expired and that the
city had made no application for an
extension of time. Tlie problem was
again referred to City Engineer M. B.
Cowden and to City Solicitor D. S.
Seitz. Mr. Cowden conferred with
State health officials and upon his
suggestion City Solicitor Seitz en
deavored to arrange a conference be
tween Dr. Dixon, his engineers and
the city officials.
State Doesn't Answer
The last request for a conference
was sent to Dr. Dixon June 17, 1915.
C A. Emerson, acting chief engineer,
stated at (lie time that Dr. Dixon wan
about to leave the city on important
business for the State and that the
quesion would be taken up with him
on his return.
Harrisburg never heard anything
further on the subject until Council re
ceived the peremptory order Saturday.
At the State Health Department it
wan said that unless the city acted
definitely at once, the State Health
Commissioner's attention would be
called to the matter.

Rumania's Hope of Halting
Invasion Dies Oat With
Failure of Counter Drive
| London, Oct. 16.—The widely-liall-I
led • Rumanian counter-offensive in 1
Transylvania has died out in many
i sectors where success seemed to be
within the grasp of King Ferdinand's!
troops. Only along the southern
I frontier is the Rumanians' desperate

at arm's length from Rumanian soil.
Elsewhere the Rumanians' hope of I
preventing the eventual invasion of
their country dickered only for a
moment and then was snuffed out by
the fury of the enemy's atack.
The day's lighting saw the abandon

part of the territory In eastern and
j northern Transylvania which they had
clung to In the face of terrific assaults.
I From the Kelemen Mountain region
i near the Bukowina border they re

Russians Stiffen Line
Along the southern frontier and to
tlie north of it. where the Rumanians
have been able to retain part of the
territory conquered in the tirst great
rush across the border, Russian rein
forcements have stiffened the Ru
manian lines and averted for the mo
ment the peril of invasion. In the
Polistoca Valley the momentum of
yesterday's smashing drive carried
King Ferdinand's troops forward until
the enemy was cleared out of this sec

Standing with their backs to the
wall in the Vulcan, Red Tower and

Central Powers Are Not
Prepared For Peace on
Entente's Terms, Vienna Says
|
1 Vienna. Oct. 15. With a keen
I longing for peace has come persistent
j speculation in the Central States as
: to the manner in which this blessing
j may be obtained. Rut all thought on
the subject remains what it has been
' for nearly two years—the substance
of the individual's own wishes. Politi
| eal and military circles to-day are as
j far from seeing a definite plan for the
cessation of the conflict as they were
when the war first overwhelmed
I Europe.
j in Berlin and Vienna they continue
I setting their teeth when the word
I peace is mentioned, not because war
lis wanted, but because up to this
j moment the entente governments
have shown no inclination to enter
' tain a meeting on this ground,
j If the fear prevailed in the Central
I States that a peace with honor, and
| possibly with profit, could not be pro
cured, owing to military and economic
I weakness, then thought might run in
| a different channel. But that the
I entente has not shown that it can
i ultimately realize its own hopes is the
I universal view held in Austria-Hun-
I gary and Germany and their allied
i countries.
Russians Leap From Their

It was not until dawn that the Rus

CHILD GETS SICK,
CROSS, FEVERISH
IF CONSTIPATED
Look at tongue! Then give fruit
laxative for stomach,
liver, bowels.
'California Syrup of Figs" can't *
harm children and
they love it.
Mother! Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this Is a sure sign the little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom
ach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a
gentle liver and bowel -cleansing
should always be the first treatment
given.
Nothing equals "California Syrup of
tigs" for children's ills; give a tea
spoonful. and in a few hours all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you have
a well and playful child again. All
children love this harmless, delicious
"fruit laxative." and it never falls to
effect a good "inside" cleansing. Di
rections for babies, children of all
ages and grown-ups are plainly on
the bottle.
Keep it hat,dy in your home. A
little pi\en to-day saves a sick child
to-morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
.vour druggist for a 60-eent bottle of
California Syrup of Kiefs," then see
tjiat it is made by the "California Fig
Syrup Company."

finest apples in the country are grown
in Pennsylvania and if we boost our
home-grown product new markets

it will become an important annual
occasion."
