Jury Takes Further
Evidence in Thaw Case
Philadelphia, March 13.—Further
testimony bearing on the mental con
dition of Harry K. Thaw, who is in
St. Mary's Hospital, convalescing from
wounds self-intlicted on January 11,
was to be heard to-day by Ellis Ames
Ballard, commissioner In lunacy, and
a panel of six Jurors. The commis
sion also considered the fact sobtaln
ed yesterday by their examination of
Thaw at the hospital.
The findings of the body will be re
ported to the court of common pleas
to which Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw
applied for an inquiry into her son's
sanity in an effort to block his re
moval to New York, where he is un
der indictment on a criminal charge.
CUT THEIIt OWN LOCKS
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., March 13.—Wini
fred Saykowski, thirteen years old, and
Julia Slafenski, in the presence of their
parents, furnished the police with
signedi confessions yesterday in which
lliey admit that they were not vic
tims of the supposed "hair nipper" who
has terrorized the Yyomlng Valley, but
that they had cut oft their own locks.
Kach girl declared she wanted to be
like others, "who were getting their
names in the paper." The confessions
substantiate the theory of the police
that the presence of a mysterious "hair
nipper" has been largely imaginary.
You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
< l andruff Is to dissolve it, then you de
stroy It entirely. To do this, get about
lour ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
It in gently with the finger tips.
Do this to-night, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will be
gone, and three or four more applica
tions will completely dissolve and en
tirely destroy every single sign and
tfaee of it, no matter how much dand
ruff you may have.
You will lind, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work. —Advertisement.
" Happiest Person
Alive" She Cries
"I am the happiest person alive,"
Ties Mrs. Karninski, of 214 Mulberry
St., Reading, Pa., "for my health has
been returned to me and 1 am free
from suffering at last."
"Oh, how i suffered no words can
tell. My stomach and digestive or
gans were all upset, 1 was nervous,
headachy and my circulation was
very poor. Often it would soem as
though all the blood in my body
rushed to my head leaving my limbs
dead and numb."
"Often while at the moving pictures
1 would be attacked by them flushes
and would have to hurry to the open
air to get relief and it sometimes
seemed as if my legs could not sup
port me and I would have to sit down
quickly or collapse where I stood."
"I saw in the newspapers many
stories told by people who had been
relieved by Tanlac and now 1 want to
add my praise to their's for I know
that Tanlac is truly a wonder worker.
It. relieved the blood pressure in my
head at once, and I improved steadily
day by day.
"Now I feel simply splendid; I eat
lots better and sleep soundly and rest
fully from 8.30 to 5.30 and I am much
stronger now that I can eat and sleep
properly.
"Tanlac has helped me so much
that I am going to induce my husband
to take it for his stomach gives him
much distress at times."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now, being introduced here at
Gorgas' Drug Store, where the Tanlac
man is meeting the people and ex
plaining the merits of this master
medicine.

The Alarming Decrease in the Num
ber of Meat autl Milk J Producing Ani
mals In the United States With the
Corresponding Increase in Population
Kmpliusizes tiie llnii>ortaneo of an
llonest Veterinary Medical Profession
—Dishonest Veterinarians and Corrupt
Politics Are J.argely Responsible l'or|
the Meat and Milk Famine That
Threatens the Future.
JUi alarming significance to the hun
dred million people of the United
States is the report of the Foreign
Trade Department of the National
City Bank, New York, showing that
on Jan. 1, 1917, there were 10,000,000
less cattle (other than milk cows), and
5,000,000 less sheep in the United
States than there were Jan. 1, 11)07,
when the population of the country
was at least 13,000,000 less than it Is
now.
This large decrease in the number
of food animals emphasizes the duty
of every State of the Union to look
into the vicious political activities
which, by the uninitiated, are labelled
'Animal Industry Conservation."
The alarming decrease in the num
ber o lavailable iood animals now
herded in the United States is due in
no small measure to the arbitrary
suspension by individuals of laws
placed on the statute books to pro
tect not only the food supply of the
people, but to safeguard the health
of the herds and flocks upon which
the people so largely depend for their
food supply.
When Individuals of political power
succeed in suspending these laws The
whole theory ot government degener
ates into a sordid mixture of special
privileges and license.
The laws of most states require that
all veterinarians practising within the
state limits shall be licensed and that
they shall file a certificate with the
county cler kof the county in which
they praclse.
In New York City alone eighty-nix
illegal practioners have fifiled no cei
tificates as required by law. Their
official superiors make no effort to
enforce the law.
Even sworn charges reflecting upon
the intrigity of state veterinarians
are for political purposes, ignored.

A-a-h! That's delicious relief for
those sore muscles, those stiff joints,
that lame back.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with the oil of mustard and
I other home simples.
I It does the work of the old
fashioned mustard plaster, minus the
i plaster and minus the blister!
You simply rub Musterole on the
spot where the pain is—rub it on
briskly—and usually the pain is gone.
: _ No muss, no bother. Just comfort
ing, soothing relief first a gentle
glow, then a delightful sense of cool
ness. And best of all, no blisters like
the old-fashioned mustard plaster used
1 to make.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron
chitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck,
asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges
tion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago,
i pains and aches of the back or joints,
I sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chil

culture. The charges against him
were pigeonholed.
February 9, 1917, the facts were
made public for the first time, where
upon the veterinarian who had the
courage topursue the straight and
narrow path was immediately disci
plined by his superiors as a warning
to other men not to talk out of
school, even though public health and
the health of the animal industry are
at stake.
This Gill- Griessman episode con
stitutes a classical example of the
forces, ordinarily Invisible to the pub- j
11c eye, which are at work undermln- :
ing the stamina of the American j
people.
As Griessman, Friday, February 9,1
1917, after repeated efforts to have ;
his case aired by the proper officials ;
had failed, made his charges public,
he was finishing his test for Messrs.
Cohen & Alex, livery stable proprie
tors, 440 East 102 d street. New Yotk
City, for glanders on one gray mare,
blind left eye, llea-bitten, ten years
old, sixteen hands high.
The test was made so that the mare
might be shipped, according to law,
to the farmer who had purchased it,
Frank Glushenok, Kural Free Deliv
ery Route, 2 l v antic, Conn.
At the completion of the test, 12.47
p. m., Friday, February 9, Dr. Griess
man issued Certificate No. 8310, de
claring the animal free from
glanders.
The certificate was sent immediate
ly to the New York State Department
of Agriculture, 17 Battery place, in
order to obtain a shipping permit
from the State authorities. Without
this permit the Chelsea Line, operat
ing a boat between New York City
and Yantlc, Conn., would not accept
the horse for delivery to another
State.
When a messenger bearing the cer
tificate arrived at the office of the
Department of Agriculture, 3.30 p. in.,
he ..was informed that the certificate
was "not valid,'' and that it "would
not be accepted" by the Department
of Agriculture.
Griessman's charges against Gill
were made public at 11.30 p. m., Feb
; ruary 9. Within four hours the
I clutch of invisible government was at
| his throat. The story of this affair
j throws a white light upon the disease
which is eating away at the heart of
| the United States.
W. A. HIESTER DIES
; AT HIS RESIDENCE
As a Civil Engineer He Was
1 Associated With Many of Big
Enterprises of Country
j William A. Hiestcr, aged 72, 1100
I North Front, street, who has been as
j sociated with some of the largest en
gineering feats in the country as a civil
engineer, died this morning at 3.30
o'clock.
He came from the old pioneer stock
to which this section of Pennsylvania
owes its strongest elements. He was
| born September 29, 1 845, at Esther
ton, the old family seat of the Hiesters
| just outside of llarrisburg, and was
(the oldest son of Judge A. O. Hiester.
I His preliminary education was obtain
|ed at St. Paul's school, later he at
tended Dickinson college, being grad
uated from there with fine standing.
He was one of the founders of the
Sigma Chi fraternity at Dickinson,
I and at the time of his death was the
I oldest living member of his chapter.
I As a civil engineer with wide ex
perience, Mr. Hiester had a prominent
| part in many of the important enter
| prises undertaken a generation ago in
the eastern part of the country. In
much of his work he was associated
| with the late Francis Shunk, one of
the fdremost engineers of his day.
Among other enterprises with which
Mr. Hiester was connected, was the
erection of the elevated railroad in
New York city, survey of the Ohio
river in order to make it navigable;
the construction of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad,
and a score of other equally important
projects in the East and South.
Returns Here Later
In 1870 Mr. Hiester married Miss
Elizabeth Reily Stephens and moved
to Connecticut, where he continued
his engineering work, later going to
Kentucky to take part in the construc
tion of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad. Later he moved to Elmira,
N. Y., where he remained for fifteen
years as roadmaster of the Erie Rail
road. In 189fi the family returned to
Harrlsburg where they have since re
sided. For some time Air. Hiester af
ter coming here was connected with
I the Equitable Insurance Company, and
later was secretary of the Board of
Trade. For some years, however, he
| has not been engaged in any active
| business. Besides his widow he leaves
three children, all of whom are resi-
I dents of this city—William S., Marc
C. and Matilda W.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed by Dr. George E. Hawes, his pas
tor, at Mr. Hiester's late residence,
1100 North Front street, at 2 o'clock
Thursday afternoon.

post of secretary of commerce and po
lice until the reorganization of the

ment Anally abolished that body, to
be the first head of the railroad sys
tem under government 'control.
This appointment came immediate
ly after the cabled announcement that
the money gained from an Issue of
$4,000,000 worth of Philippine govern
t
ment bonds, purchased in October of
last year by th® National City Com
pany, had Jeen paid over to the stock

GIVK "BOARD WAGES"
London, March 13.—One result of
| tlio voluntary rationing system now In
force in thiß country has been that a
large number of families in the fash
ionable quarters of London have put I
their servants on board wages, which |
means that instead of giving board to |
servants the householder pays them
so much a week and lets them board i
themselves. The reason for the change ]
is that the servants refused to eat tho
restricted meals served to others in
tho househo!d. Hoard wages are now
generally twelvo or sixteen shillings a
week.
