16 WATER COMPANIES FOR REFORESTING 2,000,000 Seedlings on State Preserves For Recovering Lang With Trees The State's Forestry Department lias been assured by ninety-Jive water companies that they are interested In restoring U-ee cover to the hills on their watersheds, and applications are listed for over 100.000 trees to be used for this purpose. The Department has agreed to make free examination of all planting sites with a view to de termining the best method of replac ing the forests and conserving the water supply. Estimates of the stock on the State Forest nurseries indicate that about -.000,000 seedlings trees will be avail able for free distribution this spring, including the water company requests, applications are already approved for over three-quarters of a million trees, Jind new applications are coming in every day. Two-year-old white pine can still be Mipi'lied i n almost any quantity. Three year-old white pine, two-year-old Scotch pine, and European larch can be furnished in more limited numbers. The supply of some species, including Norway spruce, pitch pine, white ash, and sugar maple, is completely ex hausted, and no more applications for these species can be approved. Members of the Forestry Commis sion are encouraging the planting of white pine in spite of the Mister rust menace. They say that the needed action is not to stop planting the white pine, but to start fighting the blister rust. Only one or two infec tions have been found in Pennsylvania, i all on Imported stock, and a close watch Is being kept by the Depart ment of Forestry and the Bureau of Economic Zoology. The blister rust must spend part of its life on currant or gooseberry bushes, just as tho lo cust spends part of its life in the ground, and the destruction of all currant and gooseberries near planta tions is the best insurance of safety from infection.

Ffinnfi THEY BUILD OR 1 " DESTROY AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT l 0^ r '^ ht MccVnn b r By ALFRED W. McCANN After hundreds of thousands of dollars had been split up among the politi cians who imd absorbed the indem nity plums intended to reimburse the farmers for dieased cattle, the widow of a real farmer, Fannie Warner, siiportiiig a little brood of children with a few cows, found her self squeezed out of the innner circle —the ca*e of Fannie Warner exposes all the evils of a system which, if not hypocritical in origin, is farcial and dangerous in application. The task of fooling the farmer is an easy one. The records of Otsego county, N. Y., are duplicated all over the country. In Cortland county for 1915 and 1916, $9,034 was appropriated to help the farmer replace with sound healthy cows those of which the State had con demned and taken from him. Of this amount eight influential citizens split up $8,003. The balance, $1,031. was split among six politicians. The real farmers of the county re ceived nothing. During the same period the "poor farmers" of Duchess county were en couraged to the extent of $25,324.35. Of this amount Assemblyman Walter W. Law, Jr., member of the Wicks in vestigating committee, received $lO,- 471.50, C. H. Perkins, treasurer of the Democratic State committee and presi dent of the Poughkeepsie bank, sl,- 752.60. Six other important people re ceived on the average of $1,500 each and the real farmers of the county re ceived nothing. In Schoharte county within the same period the politicians took $3,354.15, tied it In a bundle and threw it away first labelling it "Money to be paid to farmers to reimburse them for diseas ed cows condemned on their hands and killed by the State. This money is intended to enable them to substi tute for their lost property clean, sound animals that will help them to build up healthy, milk-producing herds. When the bundle fell its contents were divided among six gentlemen .the first of whom, Charles A. Weiting. is State fair commissioner, formerly State commissioner of agriculture. Weiting has been on the State payroll since Colonel' Theodore Roosevelt was gov ernor. since which time he has drawn In salary $150,000. Weiting's friend Wallace H. Sidney, attorney and Democratic leader In Schoharie county was number two among the chosen six. Number three was J. Van Wagner, ■Tr., lecturer of the Farmer's Institute, an appointee of Weiting. Number four was W. E. Basler, Re publican leader of the county. Number five and number six are un important. When they finished the division of the spoils 1289.50 remained to satisfy the claims of a real farmer. Alba Foote, of Esperance. The widow of a farmer, Fannie Warner, was left out In the cold. Fannie Warner supports a little brood of children. She has no vote. She kept a few cows. The State con demned them. The cows were worth *216. The officials appraised them at 80 per cent, of their value and came to the conclusion that the eood woman should receive $172.50. with which to huv a few fresh, healthy cows. Unfortunately for her peace of mind and the comfort of her children, the influential politicians had (crabbed all the money of the $302,000 provided by the legislature for the purpose of tak- ing care of just such cases us Fannie Warner's there was nothing left. Not only was there nothing left, but the veterinary bureau of 'the Depart ment of Agriculture had so juggled its reports that it was confronted with a deficit of $54,475.50. Of course Fannie Warner could not collect when there wasn't any money to collect from. She knew how to write letters, liowevere, and she wrote so many of them that when her pre dicament was called to the attention of the executive auditor of the State, George A. Glynn, that gentleman con ferred with Commissioner of Agricul ture Charles 8. Wilson, who in order to avoid the scandal incidental to such an affair and to escape a public ex posure of the mess in his department, took an assignment of the widow's claim and advanced the money out of his own pocket with which to pay her. This incident alone under ordinary non-political conditions should have been quite sufficient to inspire a nation-wide Investigation pt the entire system of indemnifying "farmers" out of the money of taxpayers. It inspired nothing of the kind. WELL-KNOWN DENTIST DIES Marietta, Pa., March 6. Dr. Amos Zell, a well-known dentist of Little Britain township, died Sunday in his 80th year.

Fifty-two prisoners are incarcerated in the Enterprise of Harrisburg Chemists In Face of Great Opposition have made New Form of Old and Valuable Medicine Indis pensable Auxiliary to Medical Profession. GOOD NEWS TO AILING PEOPLE RELIABILITY UNQ UESTIONED Knterprise is one of the virtues of our leading druggists, whose names are appended to this article. Often they have so demonstrated to the peo ple of Harrisburg their ability not only to keep pace with, but to keep 1 ahead of the times, and the people j of our city have many times had oc casion to be proud of the way our druggists have shown themselves to be among the foremost In the country In adopting for their standard reme dies the latest scientific discoveries. With this end in view it is not strange that they some years ago should have been lod to think serious ly concerning the use of cod liver oil. They, like hundreds of other drug gists, had sold quantities of this valu able, but nauseating remedy, but over and over again they had to listen to tales of woe by sufferers who would beg them to advise some palatable way they might take the medicine pre scribed for them, and many attempts have been made In the past to enable patients to take this remedy, knowing well that could they succeed in doing so this valuable medicine would be in strumental In restoring health, and in many cases even In savipg life. They were obliged, however, to give up obtaining the desired end of dis guising the taste of this obnoxious, greasy medicine, as many others had to do before them. They found that while it was an easy matter to fool the palate they could not fool the pa tient's stomach. Even when it had been made tasteless by being adminis tered in capsules or other forms, the stomach would rebal and promptly reject it. It was then that they learned of the important discovery made by two French chemists, whose secret had been bought by a large Boston house, and with characteristic enterprise Northumberland county prison just now. Of these one is a womn. Slio is Mrs. James Buggy, of Shamokin, who confessed to the murder of her step-daughter, Eleanor Buggy, more than a week ago. How's This ?

Take Hall's Family Pills for constipation. they connected themselves with that house and succeeded in making ar rangements with them directly to handle this new discovery which has fast taken the place of old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions. Tills preparation contains all the curative principles which have given the cods' liver its great reputation, and the sought-for principles are in a con centrated form free from the nauseat ing, greasy matter that characterizes cod liver oil as we have known It. It is positively free from any objection able odor, taste, or any of the other disagreeable features that have always attended cod liver oil. Above all, they wish it to be under stood that this new preparation Is not a patent medicine. It is known as Vlnol, and contains cod liver pep tonates with all the medicinal va\je attributed to cod liver oil, but the oil, or useless part, Is eliminated. Therefore, it is the tissue-building, medicinal and curative elements of cod liver peptonates, aided by the blood-making, strengthening qualities of tonic iron, manganese peptones and glycerophosphates contained in Vlnol that makes it so successful In build ing up strength for all run-down con ditions, after sickness, for feeble old people, delicate children, and which also makes it such a grand constitu tional remedy for chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis. Any one in Harrisburg who Is in need of such a strengthening, revital izing tonic should call at one of these stores and hear what they have to say on the subject. The Information will cost you nothing, and will prove of the greatest value to you. George A. Gorgas, Kennedy's Medi- cine Btore, Kitzmlller's Pharmacy, C. F. Kramer
