{ throughout the
State during the
MrTOSwy® winter will start
out on their
I MMWMW spring round of
: elll'HljnjlllE v 'sits with over 1,-
000 requests for
advice on various
MHBMaaw farming problems
listed, covering everything from treat
ment of soils to drainage of meadow
lands so that potatoes can be planted.
The number of requests about the best
means to get big yields of potatoes,
onions and other vegetables which
have soared in price lately is greater
than ever known before.
The advisers have grouped their re
quests so that they will have regular
circuits and the prospects are that
they will be kept going until May on
what is now on file. They will report
daily their visits and make records of
advice given and the kinds of crops
proposed.
According to estimates made by the
men in charge of farmers' institutes
there were over 200,000 persons at the
meetings which closed on Saturday.
Tho final attendance at the meetings
in Philadelphia and Bedford attracted
the largest crowds known at the in
stitutes in those counties.
To Make Inventory
The Public Service Commission has
been requested to make a valuation of
the properties of the Jersey Shore
AVater Company, which was formed by
the merger of a number of water com
panies in Lycoming and nearby coun
ties. Application was made by the
company so that it can start off with
an approved rate basis and is one of
the few ever made.
The Jitney Cases
Ilarrisburg's jitney cases, number
ing over sixty and raising several ques
tions in operation of jitneys which
have not been before the commission
in other series, will be heard to-mor

weather is approaching the commis

in deciding the cases and in clearing
ilockets of other jitney protests. Hear

Pittsburgh the latter part of the week
in Allegheny county Jitney cases.

SAVE YOUR HAIR
AND BEAUTIFY IT
WITH"DANDERINE"
Spend 25 cents! Dandruff dis
appears and hair stops
coming out.
Try this! Hair gets beautiful,
wavy and thick in
few moments.
If you care for heavy hair, that!
glistens with beauty and is radiant!
with life; has an incomparable soit- j
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try j
Danderlne.
Just one application doubles the!
beauty of your hair, besides it im- j
mediately dissolves every particle of;
dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair It' you l.ave dandruff. I
This destructive scurf lobs the hair of
its lustre, its strength and its very
life, and if not overcome it produces
a feverishness and itching of the
scalp: the hair roots famish, loosen
and die; then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderlne at any drug store or toilet
counter; apply a little as directed and
ten minutes after you will say this was
the best Investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that If you
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair
and lots of It—no dandruff—no Itch
ing scalp and no more falling hair —
you must use Knowlton's Danderlne.
if eventually—why not now?
MEAT lUSOT
MONEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to flush Kidneys if
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.
If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flusn your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys In their efforts to expel it
rrom the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer with
a dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ftche, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weath
er is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi
ment, the channels often get sore
and Irritated, obliging you to seek re
lief two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse tho kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharm
acy here; take a tableapoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with llthla, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralise the acids in urine, so it no
longer Irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts Is Inexpensive; cannot In
jure, and makes a delightful efferves
cent Uthia-water drink.

resentation in the national conference.

The first cases that were brough to
the attention of the grand jury for the
March term of the United States court
which opened here yesterday were
those of the government against A.
M. Hornberger of Reading, and Joseph
D. Ferry, of Harrisburg. After they
had been presented to the Jury, evi
dence was presented in the cases of
the United States against Joseph Meal
man and Mrs. Hannah M. Smith, both
of Chambersburg. All four are
charged with counterfeiting, the first
two having been implicated in one
transaction and the last two in an
other.
Secret Service Agents McTamney,
Griffin, Ahem and Schroeder gave tes
timony in the cases against Ferry and
Hornberger and Schroeder had charge
of the Chambersburg cases. It was
4.30 o'clock before Assistant L'nlted

where the bogus money was made.
Also that- the two defendants passed
many of the counterfeit bills in Har
risburg and other jjlaces in that vicin

HOUCK DIES AFTER
50 YEARS SERVICE
[Continued *Yoin First Page]
"\\Vio made for the State government to
be represented at the obseques. Gov
ernor Broubaugh, who was a personal
friend of long standing, sent a message
to Dr. Houck's family and other de
partment heads did the same.
Under the constitution the Governor
will name a successor to fill tho va
cancy created at the head of the de
partment of internal affairs.
By the death of Dr. Ifouck there will
be a vacancy on the State Board of
Pardons.
Horn in 1836
Dr. Henry Houck, Secretary of In
ternal Affairs for the State of Penn
sylvania, and one of the prominent and
' influential citizens of Lebanon, was
born March ti, 1836, in Palmyra, Leb
anon county, Pennsylvania, son of
Samuel and Rosanna (Jontz) Houck.
The early education of Henry Houck
was that of most of the country boys
of the neighborhood, a few months
each year at the district school, later
he was sent to the Annville Academy,
and he also attended for a term the
Arcadian Institute at Orwlgsburg. Not
satisfied with tho work he had accom
plished at these schools Mr. Houck,
who had an ambition for that knowl
edge of the classics which always ac
companies. if it cannot be said to bo
the foundation of the highest culture,
took lessons privately in Greek and
Latin from tutors and prepared for
college.
This was at a time when he him
self was teaching and his leisure was
scanty. He began indeed, to teac'n
when ho was hardly more than a boy,
being only sixteen at the time. But he
had that magnetic gift of arousing in
terest and enthusiasm which is so
large a part of the teacher's equip
ment and from the outset his work
in that direction was highly success
ful. His Interest in educational work
begun at that time continued ever
since, identified as he was with tho
work of a lifetime in that field. He
was a leading spirit In every movement
for educational improvement.
Being in great demand as a public
speaker he lectured in every city and
town in Pennsylvania and. in many
other States. When Dr. M. G. Brum
baugh, now Governor, was Commis
sioner of Education In Porto Rico, Dr.
Houck assisted him in conducting a
series of educational meetings, which
were held in the principal cities and
towns on the island.
Appreciation was shown of his work
in the educational department of
Pennsylvania by the gift from the
teachers of a trip to foreign lands a
few years ago. The degree of Master
of Arts was conferred upon him by
Franklin and Marshall College, and
that of Doctor of Literature by Penn
sylvania College.
Dr. Houck married, April 10. 1856,
Susan Margaret, daughter of Dr.
Christian Bucher, and they had seven
children, Harvey Bucher, Mary Valen
tine, Kosa Jontz, Elizabeth I-leister,
Paul Winters, Alfred Rhodes and
Susan Margaret Houck.
Death of Son a Blow
The death of Al. R. Houck, former
postma*-ter of Lebanon, Republican
leader of that county and Chief of the
Bureau of Industrial Statistics, Depart
ment of Labor and Industry, two
years ago, was a blow front which
"Uncle Henry," as the Secretary was
affectionately known to his more inti
mate friends, never fully recovered.
1-Ie depended much upon "Allie," us ho
called him, and every day the two
rode to and from their Lebanon
homes together, the son seeing to it
that the father got safely to the station
and from the station to his home in
Lebanon. The aged Secretary's eyes
would till with tears and be could
scarcely speak when conversation
some times led around to the death of
the son.
Last Tuesday was "Uncle Henry's"
81st birthday and when he arrived at
liis office in the morning his desk and
the floor about was a bower of flowers
sent by friends both here and In many
other parts of the State. "Uncle
Henry" was in a happy mood. He
beemed upon those who called to pay
their respects and laughed and chatted
like a young man.
"I should think you would be a very
happy man, with BO many good
friends," ventured one of his callers.
"Yes, yes," replied "Uncle Henry,"
"happy, indeed. If only 'Allie' could
be here to see how his old father is
remembered by so many good people.
He would have been so much pleased."
The final act of the Secretary in hts
office before leaving for his home for
the last time was to inscribe cards of
appreciation for those who had re
membered him on his birthday.
It is for his kindly disposition, his
never-failing optimism and his cheery
outlook on life that Dr. Houck will
be remembered, as well as for the ex
cellent work he did as deputy superin
tendent in behalf of the school sys
tem of Pennsylvania. He was a won
derful campaigner. His presence at
a political meeting was a sure indi
cation of a big crown. People went
miles upon miles for a chance to hear
him. He was a wonderfully magnetic
speaker and moved his audiences to
laughter or to tears at will. His style
of public speaking was distinctly Indi
vidual. He violated every known rule
of oratory and succeeded where pol
ished speakers failed. He knew his
classics, but he knew people better.
To hear him speak was to love him.
Once, in a hard campaign, he plead
ed age and asked to be excused from
one strenuous stumping trip. "If you
won't go for your own sake, go for
mine," begged a companion on the
ticket who knew his drawing power.
"If you go out and ask them to vote
for me and the other candidates they'll
do it." And 'so "Uncle Henrj'" went
for the sake of the other fellows and
won a lot of votes that otherwise
might have been lost. When an effort
was made to abolish the office of Sec
retary of Internal Affairs It is said
the personality of "Uncle Henry" was
all that stood in the way. Nobody
wanted to dispossess him of his of
fice, and so the plan fell through.
Ho was a close friend of Governor
Brumbaugh and likewise of Senator
Penrose. He was a Republican but
no factlonist. and regarded the quar
rel between the factions as a grievous
error of no benefit to anybody but
the Democrats.
The Secretary was much in demand
as an Institute speaker and at Ma
sonic banquets. The Institute com
mittee or the toastmaster who pro
cured his services knew In advance
that the affair would be a success.
He was the possessor of an infinite
variety of stories and told them in a
manner that invariably won for him
the hearty applause of his audiences.
"Uncle Henry" had thousands of
friends in all parts of the State who
will mourn his death. It is doubtful
If he had one enemy.
Members Pay Tribute
Members of the House of Represent -
utivos paid tribute to the memory of
Secretary of Internal Affairs Henry
Houck to-day by adjourning after a
brief session. The motion to adjourn
was made ,by Mr. Mearkle, Allegheny,
who announced the death and said Dr.
Houck was one of "the most lovd,
diligent and consclentfous of officials."
Speaker Baldwin seconded the motion
In a brief address and adjournment
was taken at 11.45 a. m. until 10 a. m.
Wednesday.
Governor Brumbaugh will be re
quired to All the vacancy, and Dr.
Hounk's successor will not be elected
until November, 1919. The man the
Governor will name will serve until
May, 1920. It Is sold that due to the
warm friendship existing between tho
Governor and Dr. Houck. may lead
to the appointment of Paul Houck to
All out his father's unexpired term.
