14 SIXTY-SEVEN BILLS TO REPEAL 1,005 Results of Legislative Refer ence Bureau Work Presented to the House Sixty-seven bills providing for the | repeal of obsolete laws were intro duced in the House at the afternoon aeasion yesterday by Mr. Whltaker, Chester. These bills were included in a single bill known as "the omnibus repealer" in the session of 1915, which was vetoed by the Governor on the ground that they should have been grouped according to subject. The bills presented yesterday were drawn j to meet the objections. They would repeal 1,005 laws, which have either been superseded or declared unconsti tutional by the courts. Mr. Scott, Centre, introduced a bill to Increase the per capita allowance for care and treatment of indigent in State Hosjitals for the Insane from $1.75 to $2.50 per week. Among other bills v resented was one from Mr. Drake, Greene, amend ing auto registration act so that all licenses issped after May 1 shall be half the rate and all licenses after Oc tober 31 shall run for the next year.

Mr. Lohr, Somerset—Fixing com pensation of auditors in townships at $3 per day. Mr. Flynn. Elk—Regulating re moval of bodies from cemeteries ad jacent to cities. The bill to authorize bn~sesses to eucceed themselves was postponed. Under the terms of a bill passed finally all legislative bills will be printed in the same size as the pamph let laws. The bills are now printed in a size which has been the rule for over twenty years. Other bills passed were: Authorizing tobacco comjanies In corporated iln other States to hold real estate in Pennsylvania. Appropriating $32,000 to Danville State Hospital. Appropriating S6OO for schools for the Cornplanter Indians in Warren county. Extending time for settlement of tax duplicates for two years. UNIVERSAL—4 Washington, Feb. 15. —It was con ceded by Senator Chamberlain that the universal military training bill could not be passed or even discussed in the present session of Congress. The bill can now only be brought up on motion. . "I do not intend to move now to take it up because there would be no change through the congested condi tion of legislation," Senator Chamber lain said.' ' All that the advocates of it had hoped for at this session was arcport on the bill." Senator Thomas, who has reserved the right to make a minority report, said that he could not do it before March 4. Senator Borah introduced a bill to defederalizc the National Guard. He would repeal the National Guard pro vision of the National Defense Act. "It is impossible," said Senator Borah, "to consider universal training in this country if the National Guard, /as now constituted, is tobe permitted to remain as a part of our military organization." Mr. Borah will not demand action on his bill at this session. Zimmerman Auto Co.

McCANN The Necessity of Radical Treatment of Privileged Spreaders of Disease Is Nowhere .More Apparent Than in the Present Activities of the Kntire Coun try in Spending Money Lavishly in the Kraditation of Tuberculosis While Closing Its Eyes to the Official Negll- Beiiee of Nation-Wide Perils Which the Pathologists of Europe and Amer ica Look I'pon as Alarming Factors in the Spread of Disease. Doubtless the detailed narrative which I am relaUng here will inspire a large number of persons to describe it as a sensational specimen of muck raking. However, let it be remembered that the facts of this vast conspiracy against public health were for many years well known to many important persons who, pigeonholing their knowledge, permitted, without inter ference, the devilish work to go on. For years the simple truth success fully resisted all conventional attacks upon it, but relentless and persistent probing into its carefully hidden depths, followed by painful publicity, of a kind so gruesome that it made unsupectlng men and women shud der, succeeded at last in opening eyes that apparently were never to be opened. When it is fully understood that such exposures as these remain in all their significance unheeded by public authorities, even the most conserva tive commentator must admit that un less vigorous measures are employed, the conditions of which these recorded Instances are tvpical are destined at the expense of human life, to flourish undisturbed. Is it not harrowing to have to realize that while these disclosures were at their height the State Char ities Aid Association, through its tub erculosis committee, was engaged, without referring to the significant facts which they disclosed, in the preparation of a statement concerning the progress accomplished in the es tablishment of tuberculosis hospitals in Nassau, Broome, Chautauqua, Chenango, Niagara, Steuben, Rensse laer. Warren and Livingston counties, in which sections of the State many of the tubercular animals described here had originated, and in which the raw milk of tuberculous cows as well as MBBBBBM BBBMBWMI WWBI Hi HiWBWBPBiWBB W MHBEilll 1 ON EXHIBIT AT 120 MARKET STREET | IHarrisburg, Pa. | McCURDY-BRAINARD CO., Distributors Pittsburgh, Penna. SiSSS? J their disease spreading rleaii is now being consumed by children? While Nassau county was opposing reform legislation it was also con tracting to purchase a hundred acres near Farmingdale, L. 1., as a site for a tuberculosis hospital, to meet the cost of which it issued bonds for SIOO,OOO. While Broome and Chautauqua counties were opposing the same leg islation they were also selecting sites for tuberculosis hospitals. Chenango county expressed its op position to State control of these hid eous conditions by the construction of a tuberculosis hospital. While Niagara county was ignoring the significance of these disclosures the Niagara County Tuberculosis Hos pital was filing its plans with the State commissioner of health for approval. The representatives of the Steuben county farmers were watching these unheeded developments while the Steuben County Board of Supervisors was selecteing a site near Bath, N. Y., for a tuberculosis hospital. In Rensselaer, Warren and Living ston counties, appropriations of $235,- 000 for tuberculosis hospitals were carried at the polls in November, 1916, as one of the slaughterers of tubercu lar cows originating in these counties was sent to the penitentiary. In Rensselaer county, from which the Albany Southern Railroad had carried the rejects of many tubercular herds, the railroad officials have of fered to devote $150,000 toward the purchase of a site for the tuberculosis hospital. Thus does the eternal farce unravel itself. Thus doubtlessly will it con tinue to spin its wretched comedy un til the people demand of their politi cians that they shall serve not self alone, but also God and man. Thus does the sinister sequence of events which, by the people and their representatives are rarely if ever in terpreted, emphasize the necessity of treating public wounds with public in struments, however objectionable and offensive the public spectacles that may ensue. Another word and I shall proceed in my task of informing the public with respect to those hidden truths of the food world which should be told by those in authority. ■ Display of Used Cars During the Auto Show we will ex hibit at our Showroom Used Cars of Standard Makes, rebuilt or overhaul ed, some repainted, all in fine running condition.

MYERS TIRE SHOP FORGES AHEAD 'Myers the Tire Man' Construct ing New Building to Give Him 13,000 Sq. Ft. Space Eight years ago a young fellow, de termined to get into a business lie could call his own, opened a vulcanizing and tire repair shop in Hummel street. He took special pains in turning out only such work as would make his custom ers recommend him to their friends. He soon found that his plan worked. His business grew and prospered and before long lie found that he could not handle without assistance all the vulcanizing and repair work that was brought to him, so he hired an assistant. For six years he managed to take care of all liis work in the Hummel street shop, but by that time, larger quarters were necessary, so he built a new plant and located it in South Cameron street, at the foot of the Mulberry street bridge 1 .
