The original church at Harris and Susquehanna streets was dedicated November 24, 1895. This building became too small for the growing congregation and school, and the new church was built and dedicated June 5, 1910. The church and Sunday school is having an unusual era of prosperity. The present rate of growth will soon tax the capacity of the present building, says the Rev. George F. Scliaum, who will have charge of the services on Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Schaum has been pas tor of the church for four years. The congregation is making a unanimous request to the annual conference that he be returned. To Pray For Wilson. Resolutions calling upon ministers and congrega tions of the United Evangelical churches to offer prayers asking for Divine guidance for President Wilson land his advisers, were adopted at the monthly meeting of United Evangeli cal ministers of Harrisburg and vicin ity. The Rev. M. L. Burger, of Mil lersburg, spoke on "Social Purity."

FOODS ™ DESTROY ° R A AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT iW& ht kccßy ALFRED W. McCANN The Trail of tlic Tubercular Old Cow, Rejected, For Nonpayment of Her Board, From the Farmer's Dairy Herd, Is Again Picked Up on Its Way to the Most Significant of All the Revelations of Official Corruption With Which This Appeal to the Con science of the National Is Illumined. Throughout the enactment of the stirring incidents of 1913. 1914, 1916, and 1916, revealing the existence of a vast system of meat inspection cor ruption, the tubercular cow, as if by her very presence desirous of focus ing public attention upon the evil con ditions which she represented, con tinued, with the aid of unscrupulous public officials, to limp dally from the diseased herds of many States to the Brooklyn clearing houses of decay and death. During my most savage attacks upon their activities a group of dis eased cow killers, accompanied by their attorney, called upon me in Oc tober, 1914, to volunteer a reform of their industry, provided I would de liver to them services through which they might escape a threatened ac tion at the hands of -the United States government. In the group were Samuel Plant, Henry Plant, Robert Plaut, Arthur Plaut, Simon Plaut and liobby Plaut, Jr., members of the slaughtering es tablishments of S. & H. Plaut and Robert Plaut & Son, Johnson avenue, Brooklyn. These men proposed to appear be fore the governor of the State and confess to him that they were en gaged in the slaughter of diseased an imals for food purpose and that the GO,OOO carcasses annually dressed by them, under the supervision of the Health Department of the city of New York, were unfit for food. This con fession was to be made, provided the governor would assist in the enact ment of legislation requiring the ster ilization of all diseased carcasses in accordance with the Freibank system of Germany, so that the killers might not be subject to unfair competition through having to sterilize meat and label it properly while others engaged in the killing of diseased animals were not obliged to treat them in similar manner. Robert Plaut at that session said; "If there were uniform State laws requiring all slaughterers to do this thing I would be glad to do it. But if I were required to do it and other slaughterers were not also obliged to do the same thing I would be put out of business." • Two days following our discussion of these overtures the attorney of the slaughterers paid mo another visit. He said: "I want to place a purely hypothetical proposition before you. We will suppose certain Johnson ave nue slaughterers are now involved in an affair in which the government officials are taking a hand. "We will suppose that these slaugh terers are in serious trouble and are JOHN J. ASTOR, 4, NEEDS $75.27 A DAY TO LIVE Mrs. Dick Sets Expenses Since Birth at $86,034: Toys, In cluding Lions and Bubblers, Required With Pillows at SSO Each New York, Feb. William K. Dick filed a complete accounting in the Surrogates' Court of her guardianship of her four-year-old son, John Jacob Astor, which showed that from Nov ember 13, 1912, when she was ap pointed his guardian, until Decembpr 31, 1915, it cost $75.27 a day to keep HAHRISBURG djStfti TELEGRAPH greatly worried concerning its out come. "We will suppose that you are in a position to obtain leniency from the government in return for valuable consideration. "The proposition I want to make is simply this: If these purely hypothe tical slaughterers were to place infor mation In your hands, supported by affidavits that would result in the con viction of many shippers of tubercular cows who send their animals through interstate commerce, would you guar antee to my hypothetical clients, in consideration of such services to be rendered by them to the government, that any cose the government might have against them would be drop ped?" I told him I would give him an an swer on the following day. X then consulted with Jason Rogers. Henry J. Wright, and William Shilla ber, Jr., publisher, editor and treas urer of the New York Globe. They ad vised mo to deal with the slaughterers and to begin at once negotiations be tween them and the government. The attorney never returned. The government dropped the case. I waited a month, and then reported the.facts, November 13, 1914, to Dr. Siglsinund S. Goldwater, commissioner of health of New York City. Three days later, Monday, Novem ber 16, 1914, in response to a tele phone communication from Dr. Gold water, 1 met hlni and discussed the subject in person. The unfolding of these facts at this time are necessary in order that the full significance of the events that, without molestation, continued to I transpire until January, 1917, may be fully understood. • In justice to Dr. Goldwater it must be said that in addition to being, throughout the short term served by him, the best health commissioner New York City ever had, he was pro foundly interested in bringing to an end the horrible conditions concern ing the existence of which he liad ad ditional information from other sources. Under his regime, however, his sub ordinates either would not or could not give him any assistance in bring ing the meat inspection conspiracy to an end and he found himself power less to interfere with any of Its iniqui ties. In January, 1916, the operations of the protected slaughterers, during the administration of Health Commis sioner Dr. Haven Emerson, had be come so bold that I made another, al though unofficial, effort to bring them to an end. The extraordinary results of that effort now await action by Congress, although It may be safely assumed, based on past performance, that Con gress will not act until the people themselves manifest some clear un derstanding of the significance of the retnarlcable events about to bs de scribed. John Jacob alive, amused and in good health. The total cost of keeping the posthu mous son of the late Colonel Astor in fitting state was $88,034.21. His mother received from the es tate in that time $60,360.07 for his maintenance. Besides the taxes and other infan tile expenses which were listed in the accounting she filed last April, when she sought to convince te court that a small boy just had to have more than $20,000 a year, Dick goes into details concerning clothes and toys In the new accounting. John Jacob's clothes cost $5,790, and as he grew older he put away the toys of his babyhood and demanded something more mature and more ex pensive . So in December, 1913, he got a "speaking book," fifteen disks for a music box, three "roly-polies" and two boxes of horns and balls. Arrives at <;o-C'art Sta#;c- By the following June he had got to the go-cart stage, which meant S3O more, and he also had to have a pail, a sand scoop and other beach toys, a Mother Goose, a donkey, a railway and a book on animal land. His ideas con tinued to expand and his mother sought to catch up with them again in the following December. She got him: a toy camel for S3O, a toy lion for sls, a goose for $3.50, a bear for $3.75, another donkey for SO, a lamb for $1.50 and a duck for $2. In the course of time August, his birthday month, came around and found John Jacob disconsolate amid the ruins of his donkeys and his lions and hia camels. There was a gift pie for twenty guests, which cost $lB, and John Jacob got five rollomobiies at sls, three bears on wheels for sl2, five hoops for $lO, a seesaw for $5, a soap bubble blower for sl, and a magic fishpond and athletic slides for S2O. For a few days he was almost as hap- P" as the urchins a few blocks east, who blew soap bubbles from a clay pipe and had a contractor's saw horse for a seesaw. One reason why John Jacob had to exercise caution in his teetering is evident from his tailor's bills. One of them probably arrived about the time he did. It was for a dress costing $123.50, which was bought in June, 1912, two months before John Jacob could protest. A month later a Job lot of clothes was bought for $lO2, and before John Jacob know whether ho was wearing a blue bow under his chin or a pink one, his clothes had cost $786. Before he wan five months old win ter came and of course John Jacob needed some more things. So he got a mink robe costing SSBO, and an every day ermine robe that cost only $lB5. In the following September his mother got a chance to get two pillows with a pillowcase thrown In at Bangor Me she bought them for SIOO. In May, 1914, John Jacob began to strut around In rompers. He had four pairs and they cost $4.75. He lilted them full as well, probably, as the $5 coat he got at the same time or the hat that cost $16.50. By the time it began to get really cold again little John Jacob was In a sad state, for the. robes of last vear would not do at all. So his mother ? ot s!™. one made of 200 mink skins for S2OO on January 2, 1915, and a muff which cost S3O. "From the time of his birth down 1° present date 0 f my marriage to Mr. Dick, his residence was with me at 840 Fifth avenue," says Mrs. Dick, and he always lias been and now is under my personal care and supervision. Until the lime of my mar and myself con ? entire family and occupied 840 Hfth avenue and shared Its ac commodations, apartments and the ser vice there provided.
