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.

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.

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.

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.
