BEAUTIFUL SCHOOLGROUNDS FOR TWO NEW BUILDINGS WILL SHOW WHAT CAN BE DONE WHEN NEW HIGH STEELE SCHOOL k HARR/SBC/RG, PA. & PJartried and Planted £j £■> £i SH/MMEL SCHOOL | HARR/SBURG, PA. ***** _ Why cannot Harrisburg's proposed new girls' high school, the erection for which Harrisburg's citizens re cently decided to float a million and quarter loan, be beautified as to its immediate surroundings along lines now being carried out 'round the Shimmell and the \V. S. Steele build ing's? Many a pproud Harrisburger and school patron who has been watching the beautiflcation of these grounds under the careful supervision of the- Berryhill nursery landscape gardening corps have asked that momentous question of late. If you haven't had a chance to see just what is being done to make the Steele and Shlmmetl grounds beautiful in a floral way, it's well worth while to take a little trip of investigation and inspection. In Little Old Xciv England. At Seventeenth and Catherine streets you can see what is being done round the Shimmell: wnv up at Fifth and Mahantongo, a mighty interesting view of the Steel school gardens can be had. Harrisburg. at that, is only following the example of New England for years • "JSVb/SiSW.S%%%S%VbSSWi%V. • i; Your Last Chance J TO PLANT { j!

Some years ago the movement for] beautiflcation of the school grounds, got its start —when a public spirited j j citizen donated all the planting that would be needed to adorn one of the : Hill buildings in his neighborhood. j And So the Garden Grew. Not only did the boys and girls themselves appreciate the act, but the j ! school authorities got heaps of ap-1 preclattve letters from neighbors and \ from others who had had a chance to i j see for themselves. Incidentally there I was always Mother Nature's loveliest I lesson right under the eyes of the | public and the great Teacher was ever ! at hand to give some first-hand in- j struction in the Great Mystery, to! ' say nothing of color work and so on. j So the scheme is being carried out on a more wonderful scale at the city's two newest buildings. As Far As Ho Likes. > Spacious grounds are a necessity, of course, and both the Steele and • the Shimmell buildings offer all sorts ! of chances for the gardened to ko as ] far as he likes. So he's going pretty I far. Ornamental planting marks the en- I trances and covers the foundation walls while the boys' and girls' play grounds are separated by shrubbery | I borders. Shade trees planted on the • outer boundaries give just the proper] background and contrast with the) | large open areas; there are spaciousj ! lawns on the grounds not set aside for play purposes; bird houses have I their place in the trees and heavier j shrubbery—another real lesson from I Mother Nature. When Grandpa Was a Hoy. Native species of plants, such as i i spirea, witch-hazel, dog-wood, red j bud, fir, spruce, and pine trees —these j are the varieties used and their names are readily learned by the children. In following out this scheme of | school adornment perhaps you can j get one reason for it all. Long ago ' communities boasted of "village j greens." Under the present system of planting and decoratine. the school ground Is made beautiful and attrae,- tlve not only in school hours alone*! but at all times and hours. How's that for a substitute for the village green of yesteryear? Harrisburgers Form Sunbury Rotary Club Sunbury has a Rotary Club, thanks to the activity of Harrisburg Rotarians who spent Wednesday night in that town forming an organization. The | new club starts with a membership of j twenty-five and the following officers: President, Dr. George G. Gill; secre tary, John G. Sell. The Harrisburg party, led by Presi dent Howard C. Fry, consisted of Wil liam L. Essick, William M. Roblson, Ed. J. Lewis and John H. Nixon. They returned delighted with their recep- j tlon at Sunbury and the. enthusiasm ' ->-own by the members of the new : club. CHILD GETS SICiT CROSS, FEVERISH, IF CONSTIPATED I Look at tongue! Then give fruit laxative for stomach, liver, bowels. "California Syrup of Figs" can't i harm children and they love it. Mother! Your child isn't naturally 1 i cross and peevish. See if tongue Is coated; this Is a sure sign the little I ; stomach, liver and bowels need a I I 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 bethe first treatment given. Nothing equals "California Syrup of figs" for children's Ills; give a tea spoonful, and In a few hours all the j foul waste, sour bile and fermenting j 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 har.dy In your home. A little given to-day saves a sick child to-morrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 50-c#ht bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," then see that It Is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company." RAILROAD MWS BENEFIT FUND HELPS EMPLOYES Treasurer George E.

Embargo Orders Bar Export Shipments From the West Chicago, Hi., Dec. 8. —Embargo or ders which practically bar the West from shipment of commodities for export from Atlantic ports or for east ern consumption went into effect on the Pennsylvania lines and tjie Erie railroad east of Chicago to-dav. The orders bar virtually every commodity, the usual exceptions being made, how ever, for perishable freight in transit and for United States government shipments. No limit is set on the duration of the embargo, which is attributed to the congestion of loaded freight cars ! in the yards on the Atlantic seaboard, j The Pennsylvania order forbids agents | to accept freight from connecting lines . which is destined for points east of | Pittsburgh.

How to Peel Off a Weatherbeaten Face It's really a simple matter to reno vate a face soiled by dirt, wind or cold Ordinary mereolized wax, used like cold cream, will transform the worst old complexion into one of snowy white ness and velvety softness. It literally peels off the outer vail of surface skin but so gently, gradually, there's no dis comfort. The wornout skin conies off not in patches, but evenly, in tiny parti cles, leaving no evidence of the treat ment. The younger, healthier under skin forming the new complexion Is one of captivating loveliness. One ounce of mereolized wax, to bo had at any drug fctore, is enough to remove any coarse chapped, pimpled, freckled, faded or sallow skin. Apply before retiring, washing it off mornings. Many skins wrnkle easily with every wind that blows. An excellent wrinkle remover, because It tightens the skin and strengthens relaxed muscles, Is a wash lotion made as follows: Powdered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolved In witch hazel, one-hulf pint. This gives immediate results.—-Advertisement. RADIOLITE WATCHES A Nice Present At a Moderate Price GORGAS 10 N. Third St. Penna. Station * j * Thesize*ofthe stoMs in indicate pr^spe^t^ji**!
