A majority of the Har- '■ rlsburg people who travel extensively, by rail or automobile have frequently used one or more of the United Hotels and know the high-class patronage 1 that will be available to the patrons of the new Penn-Harrts. Center of Auto Travel The operation of the Penn-Harris Hotel, under the management now as sured, will make Harrisburg a greater ( automobile travel center than would) be posible under any other operation, i Frank A. Dudley and Frederick W. Rockwell, the heads of the ; United Hotels Company are the; pioneers in developing automobile [ travel in the Eastern States. In order to stimulate this travel through up-! j State New York and thereby give their I hotels that sort of patronage these i gentlemen created the well-known j "Empire Tours" which have been re | sponsible for thousands of out-of-the- f I State automobillsts touring New York ! State. The policy of the United Hotels ] Company is to conduct an energetic! ! advertising and solicitation campaign i to send automobile tourists and the traveling public from one of their, j hotels on to another. For instance, patrons of the New Lawrence, the! Portage and the Onondaga hotels will be urged to travel via Harrisburg en-! route to the South and to the East. The Robert Treat Hotel at Newark, ; N. J.. will urge Its patrons to travel | ' via Harrisburg and use the Penn-Har- 1 j ris Hotel, and so on. The United "Hotels Company will issue hundreds | of thousands of booklets'and circulars' describing the Penn-Harris in the city j i of Harrisburg, the good roads system of Pennsylvania, especially the Wil liam Penn Highway and the Lincoln; Highway, Gettysburg, the Masonic | Home at Elizahethtown and Hershey's j | Chocolate plant as points of interest! to automobile tourists.

"I suffered from bronchitis, had a very bad cough and a pain in my chest, was weak and tired all (he time. It seented almost impossible for me to go on with mv work. I tried different remedies with out benotit, also cough medicines, but my druggist recommended Vlnol, and It gave me almost instant relief. Its continued use cured my bronchitis! and built me up so that 1 feel like' a different man." Charles Botts. I The reason that cough syrups fall in such cases Is because they arei paliatlvc only, while Vinol removes, the cause, being a constitutional re medy in which are combined beef and ! cod liver peptones, iron and man- j ganese peptonates and glycerophos-; I phates.

The officers and directors of the Harrisburg Hotel Company are pleased ! that they have been able to lease the j I Penn-Harris to the United Hotels Company upon favorable terms. In' fact, the directors feci that they have served their stockholders to the full-i I est extent possible, as the United j Hotels Company- Is a much more re- j sponisble and worth-while concern than the average individual lessee of I a hotel who can repudiate his obliga- j ; tion and turn the hotel back to the* owner under embarrassing circuin- j i stances. Such an outcome will never i be possible with such a great national j i organization as the United Hotels j Company in charge of the Penn-Har-j ris. The lease of the Penn-Harris Hotel | has been delayed several weeks pur : posely in order that the agreement with the United Hotels Company | might be consummated. The directors I have had a number of other offers! to lease the hotel, but they felt that their duty to their stockholders and i the city made, it necessary for them \ I to have the United Hotels Company ; operate the Penn-Harris Hotel, if at all possible. Thus/in addition to hav ' ing the largest hotel in interior Penn sylvania, Harrisburg will have the ; best operated hotel as well, i The '.officers and directors of the Harrisburg Hotel Company also feel that they have selected architects who j will give the stockholders in the city j j of Harrisburg the very best hotel pos- j j sible for the money expended. The! directors have spent two months con ; suiting with the best hotel architects in New York. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago , and elsewhere and have [made an arrangement which they! j regard as Ideal. W. I>. Stoddart is known all over the country for the hotels he has de i signed. They include the Tutwller in Birmingham, Ala., the Winecoff, At | lanta, Ga., the Georgian Terrace in I Atlanta, Ga., the Hotel Savannah, in | Savannah. Ga., the Dempsey in Macon, Ga., the San Carlos Hotel in Pensa i'ola. Fla., the Ponce de I.#eon apart i ments In Atlanta, Ga. Several weeks i ago after consulting with dozens of i architects, the directors of the Hotel ; Company took a secret ballot to de ; terntine the architect who had im j pressed them most highly ar.d it was found that every director voted fori ! Mr. Stoddart. Esenwein & Johnson have planned and designed almost every one of the hotels operated by the United Hotels , Company. excepting the Tutwiler Hotel in Birmingham. Ala., which was , designed by Mr. Stoddart. Esenwein <£- Johnson also designed the Statler Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y., the Hotel Seneca, at Rochester and the Samuels at Jamestown, N. Y. They now have under way a $1,750,000 17-story ad dition to the Ten Eyck Hotel of the I'nited Hotels Company in Albany and I a $4.00*1,000 hotel to be operated by the United Hotels Company in Tor onto, Canada. In choosing these architects the Harrisburg Hotel Company directors I proceeded en the belief that the stock i holders and citizens of Harrisburg de j sired the building and plant to be I designed by architects who had pre j vlously designed large. successful i hotels in many other cities so there | would be no experimenting with the Penn-Harris. The architects will start j work on plans Immediately and they t ; will be completed shortly after the first jof the year. Bids will then be invited i and the contract awarded and the I work started as soon as the weather ! will permit. | It will be recalled that the Harris burg Hotel Company has already pur chased the Opera House site at Third land Walnut streets at n. cost of $230,- 000. It will be well for interested per sons to note that the hotel lot has a large frontage in Walnut street and 'h lot extends clear back to Straw ; berry street where It has a frontage ; on the street of 43 feet 5 inches in the rear of Bloom's store. It Is regarded by architects and builders as a fine site. \ • Harrisburg t£efs£& telegraph STFFLTQNNEW ELECT OFFICERS IN 2 COMPANIES Firemen of Citizens and Hy gienic Bodies Select Officers For Year The Citizen and Hygienic Fire Com panies have elected officers for the ensuing year. /The Paxtang Hook and Ladder Company has nominated of ficers to be elected at the January meeting and planned a fair to be held at their home, Front and Lincoln streets, January 2 5 to February 3.

N Vigorous Prosecution of War, Chief Task London, Dec. 11.—Premier Lloyd George has sent the following to all members of the house of com ' raons, it was announced officially to-day: "The king has entrusted me with the task of forming a government. T have carried out the command. I had hoped to make a statement to the house on Tuesday. 1 now tind it to be impossible. On Tues day Mr. Bonar Law as leader in the house will move adjournment till Thursday.

The members of the cabinet, who must be re-elected unless the house of com mons passes a bill making this un necessary, and the ministers who are members of neither house, for whom seats in list be found, are taking over their offices and will conduct them as though all of the formalities had been complied with. These members, how over, will not. be able to appear before the house of commons to-morrow and it is expected the session will be a | formal one. The statement concerning ! the government's policy, to be made by Mr. Lloyd George or Mr. Bonar in the house of commons and Lord Curzon in the house of lords, prob ably will be postponed until Thursday, when the vote of credit is moved. Expect Strong Policy A strong policy in regard to control of shipping, mines, food and man power is looked for. Former Premier Asqutth and his fol lowers will occupy opposition benches to the left of the speakers. The Inde pendent Labor party, whose members are avowed peace advocates, also will •ross to the opposition side, thus cre ating a visible split in the Labor party ■n opinion on current issues. The Nationalists will decide their attitude at a meeting called for to morrow. It is probable they will press the Irirh claims with emphasis, de manding immediate changes in the Irish administration and the release of Irishmen arrested during the rebellion.
