Doctors Agree On
Eczema Remedy
Comflrm the Statements About
D. D. D. Prescription
Geo. T. Richardson, M. D.: "In my
opinion, D. D. IX should be applied in all
cases of skin disease—an Immediate relief
to the itch, a calm to excited nerves, soft,
soothing, yet a powerful agent, a strength
to the general system."
Pr. Cnna Holmes: "D. D. D. is as
near a specific for eczema and the dreaded
psoriasis as is quinine for malaria. I con
stantly proscribe D. D. D. also for salt
i rheum, tetter, barber's itch, pimples, all
forms of itching eruptions, scales, sores."
Dr. Ira T. Gabbert: "I freely admit
that D. D. n. reaches most cases of
eczema and permanently cures them."
Dr. Gabbert of Caldwell, Kansas, Is one
of the best skin specialists in the state.
Write and ask him about D. D. D.
Druggists are glad to recommend this

CITY VALUATION
Council to Sit as Tax Revision
i Board; Half Million lm
i
provements
| ASSESSMENT COMPLETED
Mill Rate Will Be Based on
Realty \Vealth of More
Than $52,000,000
Appeals from the changes in the
assessed valuation of city property
resulting from the nearly half million
in increased expenditure for im
provements will be heard from 9 until
4 o'clock Wednesday, November 2it.
The necessary* additions and Li
st ractions which have been made dur
ing the year by City Assessor James
C. Thompson place the total for 1917
at $52,342,869 as against $51,865,538
in 1916, an increase of $477,331.
Council will meet next Wednesday
as a board of tax revision and ap
peals and the complaints by property
owners who object to the increases
that have been mude for improve
ments during the year now closing
will be heard and changes made
where it is considered feasible.
Then the Budget
After the revision is complete the
couhcilmen will resolve themselves
in a committee of budget makers and
prepare their appropriation estimates
upon the basis of the revenues that
will be derived from the taxable as
sessments. Incidentally the mill rate
will have to be based on the revenues
and the expenditures.
While it is just possible that an ad
ditional SIOO,OOO can be added for new
buildings erected within the last lew
months, the assessed valuation for
1917, it is expected, will likely re
main in the neighborhood of $52,-
000,000. in the eighth ward however
some $140,460 was lopped off because
of the repaid clearing away of, build
ings in the Capitol Park extension
zone. in_ the Fourth ward the city
loses $25,930 on the Fleming property
which becomes nonassessable because
it is now the home of the Civic Club,
and a similar amount on the old Mc-
Kee property in State street which has
been purchased by St. Lawrence Gel
man Catholic Church and "is also un
assessable. In the Second ward, pos
sibly SIOO,OOO will be knocked off be
cause of the railroad improvements.
The Comparisons
The comparison of the assessments
as prepared by Assessor Thompson tor
1917 and 1916 follow by wards:

JACK LONDON ONCE
GOT HANDOUT HERE
[Continued From First Page]
; "a gastro-intestinal type of uraemia."
1 The body will be taken to Oakland
I Friday for burial in the family plot.
To Cremate Body
| The body will be cremated in Oak
! land to-morrow at noon. Only near
I relatives will be present. Mrs.
| Charmion London, widow, and 'Mrs.
; Eliza Shepard, a sister, will leave the
; London farm at Glen Ellen to-mor
[ row. At Oakland the funeral cortege
i will be joined by two young daugh
ters, Bessie and Joan London, and
their mother from whom the author
was divorced three years ago.
Jack London whose death occurred
last night, paid several visits to Har
risburg, the tirst time as a tramp, the
second time as an author and lec
turer. During one brief stop here he
told a reporter of his first acquaint
ance with Harrisburg.
"It was in my tramping days," he
said, "and 1 remember it so vividly
that I have occasionally written about
it. I arrived in town on Uie s;ce
door Pullman, dirty and not caring,
hungry and caring very much. The
'railroads were tilled with tramps in
those days and so was Harrisburg, I
found. The people had their fill of
them, too. I asked for food at a dozen
places and got none. *
Where He Got His Hand-Out
"Suddenly, on a street that blossom
ed out upon a big square in the heart
of town 1 came on a little, old-fashion
ed house that had all the appearances
of having survived from colonial days.
It was clean as a new pin and looked
prosperous. It impressed me. "In that
house,' 1 said to myself, 'I will tind
good, hospitable souls Of the generous
type we read about in books foV it
looks like a story-book house,' and
sure enough when I wrapped on the
door it was opened by a little bit of a
woman who might just have stepped
out of the frame of a dagurreotype.
She was as good and as kind as she
looked. She gave me a good break
fast and my blessing has rested on her
dear old head a thousand times since
when I have thought about that
memorable trip."
As nearly as the description holds
London referred to the old Gutelius
home in North Second street, recently
demolished to make way for the new
Ross lioas jewelry- store building now
in the process of erection, and the
kindly disposed little woman was Ihe
late Miss Jennie Gutelius.
Memory Not So Pleasant
"But I have another memory of that
trip to Harrisburg which is not so
pleasant," London continued. "When
1 had breakfast I wanted to freight It
South. 1 went down town to the rail
road yards but a friendly crossing
watchman told me the •bulls' would
get me and advised me to go across
the river where he said there was a
junction of roads and no 'bulls' in
sight. He gave me a nickel to pay
my toll and I laughed to think that I
had to pay fare for walking a inile
whereas I intended to travel hundreds
of miles on the railroad for nothing.
"Once over the river I crawled a
high hill (dou'btlcss Port Washington)
to get a look around and as I lay ad
miring the river scenery and trying
to locate the house where I had
breakfasted ,the sun being warm I be
came sleepy and decided to take a
nap. I don't know how long I slept
but I was awakened by cries of 'help
and 'murder' from a field back of me
and I ran in that direction, picking
up a club as I went. What I found
was a big, burly gypsy beating a small
boy and before I thought what might
happen I was in the tight too. Tn a
second a dozen big huskies were about
me and It looked like all-day for Lon
don. I guess they would have done
me up if I hadn't had the wit to
threaten to call my 'pals.' It was a
bluff but it worked, and I backed out

CIGARETS ARE
ACCIDENT CAUSE
[Continued From First Page]
seen them die with the cigaret
'snakes'."
Mr. Spotts. who discussed the em
ploye's duty toward accident preven
tion, took up many phases of the
situation from the workingman's
standpoint. The employe had come to
realize the value of safety first, he
said, and a new man on the railroad
was no longer taken out by the crew
he joined and "shown the town." "Our
organization won't have a drunken
man in it," he explained.
"It's the duty of a railroad man to
keep his mind on his work if he wants
to escape getting hurt," he continued.
"And yet there should be some pro
vision for the man who has a sick
family at home. When a man has
sickness at home he can't keep his
mind off it, and he has a double debt
on his hands, for he must go to work.
"The American workingman can't
afford sickness because he can't have
a doctor's bill.
"And then there are the men with
the bis families—the Roosevelts of the
country—who are always in the labor
ing class. Their wives get sick and
they can't afford a doctor. If they
could pay the doctor when they're well
and not pay him during sickness until
they got well again, they could get
along.
Wants Community Doctor
"We ought to have a community
doctor. Let everyone in the com
munity pay him so much each month
and let him take care of them when
they are sick. The doctor would
set a good.salary and the workingman
would be better off."
Declaring he was proud to work for
the Pennsylvania Railroad because of
(he provisions made by that line to
take care of its injured employes, Mr.
Spotts continued:
"They say the Bible is a person's
best friend. T tell you, the book of
rules is the railroad man's best friend.
If he abides bv it he saves himself
from trouble, he saves himself from
setting hurt, he saves the other fellow
from getting hurt and he avoids acci
dent."
Tlie Auto Problem
The speaker also advocated the de
vising of a method of crossing public
streets by the Department ofLabor and
Industry and urged that a poster be
printed for chauffeurs and placed by
compulsion under the speedometers.
The poster should read, he said:
"It isn't safe for you when the
speedometer points beyond 25 miles an
hour. It isn't safe for the people in
How to Be Rid of
Disgusting Dandruff
The only way to be permanently
rid of disgusting, untidy dandruff is
to correct its cause. Shampooing
merely cleanses the scalp for a few
days, then the scales form again as
thick as ever.
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid of dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply a little of the genuine
Parisian Sage directly on the bare
scalp, and rub it in with the finger
tips for a few minutes until absorb
ed by the scalp. You will surely be
amazed at the reuslt of even one ap
plication, for your hair and scalp will
look and feel 100 per cent, better.
Only a few days* massage with
Parisian Sage are needed to destroy
the germs that cause the dandruff to
form. The scalp becomes healthy,
the hair will grow better and show
more life and vitality, and you need
never be troubled by dandruff again.
Faded, dull or lifeless hair is quickly
restored to beauty by this simple
process, which is absolutely harm
less, and will not stain the hair or
make it greasy.
Parisian Sage can be obtained from
H. C. Kennedy and druggists every
where. It is not expensive.

public."
Millard B. King, director of indus
trial education of the Stato Depart
ment of Public Instruction, outlined
the success which has attended the
first year of the continuation and vo
cational schools as provided under the
school code.
"Industrial education has paid," he
said, "in terms of dollars and cents
and in terms of the human element
which cannot be reckoned by any
monetary measure."
A paper by D. T. Naisbech, plant
manager of the Atlas Portland Cement
Company, Northampton, -on "The

Compensation Discussed
The closing hour of yesterday after
noon's conference, over which H. H.
Wheaton presided, was devoted to a
discussion of the compensation act.
Paul N. Furman, opening the discus
sion, urged that the act be allowed to
stand and pointed out that it was
operating satisfactorily. He compli
mented the employers and employes,
the exempted companies and the in
surance companies, for their co
operation-
Francis H. Feehan, of Pittsburgh,
and 11. Fowler, of Taylor, urged
changes on behalf of mine workers,
their propositions being much tho
same as urged by Representative James
H. Maurer, and were as follows: 1.
That the compensation be C 6 2-3 per
cent, instead of 50 r>er cent. 2. That
the law be made compulsory and ap
ply to foreign labor. 3. That waiting
period of 14 days be eliminated and
