"Diseased liogs and diseased cows are consumed by the thousands throughout New York State because the Legislature has never given the people any protection against such conditions.

March 23, Senator Wilson declared: "There is no hope for a favorable re port on the bill from my committee. The majority of the members are dead against it." March 24, the bill was voted down by the Assembly committee. Chair man Gillette's voice being the only one recorded in its favor. The representatives of the people had decided once more to pursue the easiest way. What they would have done had they been able to penetrate the future I do not know. Within six months they found them selves confronted by a situation so horrible and hellish that in its con templation they could see clearly the monstrous and malevolent nature of the traffic with which they refused to interfere. No group of lawmakers, however conscrvati or reactionary, can now ignore that situation, so tremendous is its force, and so complete the evi dence of depravity which it reveals. It is that situation into which merge all the facts that have heretofore been recorded here. We shall now look upon it in all its brutality for the purpose of arousing, if possible, the entire nation to action.

Gilchrist, who for eighteen years was the leader of the Harrisburg Choral Society, will be held in Zlon Lutheran Church on Monday evening, January 22. The music will consist of compositions by Dr. Gil christ. The choir of sixty voices will be made up of members of the choral so ciety assisting the regular choir of the church. It is expected that mem bers of Dr. Gilchrist's family will be present, as well as all former members of the choral society, who will be as signed special seats. A special address will bo delivered by the pastor, the Itev. S. W. Herman. Dr. Gilchrist will long be remem bered In this community, not only be cause of his eminence as a composer and conductor, but also because of his great interest In tho general musical and civic upbuilding of tho city. It is being more and more recognized that the cultural life of a comunlty through tho Influence of music and art Is an essential element In tho general ad vancement of a city, Dr, Gilchrist was much interested in a "Greater Harris burg" and often expressed amazement at the rapid growth along all civic lines. It is a source of great regret to music-lovers that the choral society disbanded for the present season owing to thft large number of other musical attractions, Next season, however, the society will probably reorganize and will be larger and more efficient than avar. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH - TOO MANY WOMEN CODDLE GRIEFS Ability to Grieve Long and In consolably Is a Femininfc Trait Hy DOROTHY DIX In all the many mistaken theories of life that women hold there is none, perhaps, that has worked so much harm to themselves and others as the prevailing idea that there is something peculiarly feminine and angelic In cherishing and brooding over a sorrow. "Men mUst work, and women must weep, so runs the world away," says the poem, and women have faithfully believed that they were never so fully doing their full duty as when they were sit ing up sobbing into their best pocket handkerchiefs. A Woman Who Fights Her Way Hack To Happiness Is Called Heartless Indeed, tho ability to grieve long, lnconsolably, and senselessly, has become an effusive feminine characteristic, and women not only cultivate It in themselves, but they admiro it In other women. They think well of a sister who "doesn't got over" thingß. They praise her whose heart is burled In the grave of a worthless and drunken husband. They have a peculiar tenderness for spinsters who pine for forty or fifty years for the faithless lovers who de serted them and, In short, It may be said that a woman's ideal of her sex Is a melancholy creature in bombazine and crepe, who, after Bomo misfortune. never smiles again. A woman who is Jolly, and who shows a disposition to throw off trouble, aud take a bright and cheery view of the world, is al ways regarded with suspicion by other women. It is this idea that a woman's tears are accounted unto her for righteousness that causes women who formulate the laws of society to make a cult of grief. When a member of a family dies, custom causes the women of the house hold to shroud themselves in un wholesome black • garments that are an ever - present remainder of their sorrow. Nursing Their Grief to Keep Alive, They Think All Happiness Is Unholy They must darken the house and shut out God's blessed sunlight. They must lock the piano, that there may bo no music to lighten their sad hearts; they must go no where save to the cemetery, where the sight of the new-made grave tears the wounds open afresh; they must see nobody except the old friends and relatives whose very sympathy quickens th e agony of memory and loss. The result is inevitable. The very touch and sight of the grue some black clothes, the darkened and gloomy house, the absence of everything that could distract one's attention from their sorrow, en genders a morbidness of grief in women that you never see in any sane man. So far, however, from perceiving that man's attitude on this subject is the braver, the kinder and more considerate to his fellow creatures and the more Christian, women take credit to themselves for griev ing more for their dead, and are bitter in their denunciation of men for so soon forgetting. It is an unjust charge. Nobody who has ever loved and lost ever forgets, but men are wise enough to know that there is no merit in making themselves needlessly un happy or of brooding over hope less sorrows, and so they deliber ately bo to work to distract their minds from their grief, while women devote themselves to feed ing upon their sorrow. Bad as this is for tho woman in dividually and it wracks her nerves and darkens her days its warut iihyua 1m tho lnjusUca 11 JANUARY 12, 1917. does to others, for in her loyalty to tho dead a woman is often a traitor to the living . . TO REDUCE PRINTING COST Senate Committee Presents Bill to Sato Country $189,23tt Yearly Washington, Jan. 12. The Senate committee on printing, after an inves tigation of government printing and use of paper, made a report yesterday, showing the possibility of a saving of $46!),236 annually by the elimination of useless public documents. The greater part of the economy is report ed in print paper alone. The bill which the committee introduced In conjunc tion with the report provides for a re duction of more than 30 per cent of the present cost of government print ing. Doctor Tells How To Strengthen Eyesight 50 per cent In One Week's Time In Many Instances A Fee Prescription Yon Can Have Filled nnd Use at Home Philadelphia. Pa. Do you wear glases? Are you a victim of eye strain or other eye weaknesses? If so, you will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there is real hope for you. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored through the principle of this wonderful free pre scription. One man says, after trying it: "I was almost blind; could not see to read at all. Now I can read every thing without any glasses and my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me." A lady who used It says: "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or with out gfnsses, but after using this pre scription for fifteen days everything seems clear. I can even read line print without glasses." It Is believed thai thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared tho trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many descrip tions ma.v ba wonderfully benefited by AEROPLANE FOR MILITIA Washington, Jan. 12. Aviation Is likely to be introduced in the National Guard of Pennsylvania and other States. An appropriation of $4,000,000 is expected to bo put into the army bill for that purpose. Repreesntative T. S. Crago, of Pennsylvania, member of the Military Affair Committee, is heartily in favor of the appropriation, and believes the committee will grant it. He said It had been established that an army without aeroplanes is an army without eyes. "Pennsylvania should have an aero nautic corps," he said, "and if this provision becomes a law I am sure wo will proceed to organize aero squad rons and train our men." following the simple rules. Here is tho prescription: C,o to any active drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tab lets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of a glass of water and allow to dissolve. With this liquid bathe tho eyes two to four times daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right trom the start and inflammation will quickly disappear. If vour eyes are bothering you. even a little, take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time. <*"- Note: Another prominent Physician to whom the above article was submit ted. said: "Bon-Opto is a very remark able remedy. Its constituent ingredi ents are well known to eminent eya specialists and widely prescribed by them. The manufacturers guarantee it to strengthen eyesight 50 per cent, in one week's time in many instances or refund the money. It can be obtained from any good druggist and is one of the very few preparations I feel should be kept on hand for regular use In al most every family." It Is sold in Har risburg by H. C. Kennedy.
