TWO PROHIBITION
SPEAKERS COMING
Dr. Crafts and C. N. Howard,
of National Reputation, to
Make Addresses
Iq Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church next Tuesday evening there
•'will be two speakers of national
prominence.
' Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintend
•- ent of the International Reform Bu
-reau. of Washington, D. C., and Cllri
lon N. Howard, of Rochester, N. Y.,
will be the speakers. Dr. Crafts has
been in active prohibition work for
•half a century. Clinton N. Howard
•Is known as "The Little Giant of Ora
tory."
As Congress is to assemble shortly,
the question of constitutional pro
hibition will soon be a burning one.
In the last Congress, when the vote
. was taken upon the dry District of
•Columbia bill, a majority of the con
. gressmen from thirteen wet states
■ voted for a "dry" capital, while the
total vote fell just one short of the
.necessary two-thirds for the suhmis
sion of a constitutional amendment
resolution. Dr. Crafts and I.'r. Howard
have arranged a campaign together to
boost prohibition sentiment. Mr. How
ard will make the main addresses in
this campaign, while Dr. Crafts will
make an introductory address, giving
the two main arguments for the policy
of prohibition which is taking the
world and showing a world map of
.prohibition. In addition to boosting
the national constitutional amendment
attention will be given to the bills in
troduced into the State Eegislaure
along prohibition iines.
Mr. Howard has been acclaimed by
Bryan, llobson and Billy Sunday as
unexcelled in the double capacity of
entertainer and temperance orator.
His lectures are sometimes described
as "good laughs and hard knocks."
Admission is free, but an offering will
he taken for the expenses of the occa
sion.
Weakened by Sickness He
Starts Long Journey He
Cannot Live to Complete
"Ise gwine back, back to the cotton
and the cane." was the burden of the
refrain that John Moore, colored, hum
med last night as he lay 011 a cot wait
ing for the police ambulance to take
< him from the hospital to a train that
would bear him to Florida. Moore,
weak from months 01 sickness, bright
ened v P when the train pulled away
from the station.
Wondrous tales of the untold wealth
that colored men could earn up in the
land of the Yanks made him leave his
little mountain cabin for a bunk in a
room in ltiver street. He soon found
the change was not what he anticipat
ed. Ten hours a day, six days a week
1 wasn't "raisin' a pig er two and bakin'
\hoe cakes at the lireplace."
Unaccustomed to the rigorous north
ern climate, Moore took a heavy cold.
TJie cold developed into pneumonia.
Moore hovered near death for weeks,
but yesterday he insisted that he was
.sufficiently strong to return. Police
say that he is too weak to ever reach
home.

DISCOVERS HOW
PLAGUE SPREADS
College Professor Also Finds
Preventative For Infantile
Paralysis
By Associate J Press
Rutland, Vt., March 22.—Announce
ment that Dr. Edward Taylor, pro
fessor of Tropical Medicine at the
University of Vermont had made an
important discovery as to the man
ner in which infantile paralysis is
spread, was made to-day by Dr.
Charles S. Caverly, president of the
State Board of Health.
"Dr. Taylor has apparently shown,"
Dr. Caverly said, "that diseased noses
and throats allow the passage of the
virus into the central nervous system
while normal noses and throats seem
to neutralize this poison. The simple
process of cleansing the nose and
throat with warm water in which
table salt has been dissolved Is per
haps as good a preventive as we have."
MODEST AND ABLE
The appropriation asked for the
coming years by the continuing head
of the Department of Agriculture, Mr.
Houston, and voted by the late Con
gress, was smaller than in any previ
ous year. Incidentally, thero are few
things at Washington more impres
sive than the usefulness of the work
done by the Department of Agricul
ture. It is not the sort of work to get
into the daily news or to catch the at
tention of the newspapers in large
cities, but everyone familiar with its
views it with satisfaction. —From
"Comment on Congress," in Col
lier's.

GERMAN PEOPLE
IN GOOD HEALTH
Infant Mortality Is Lower
Than in Times of
Peace
By Associated Press
Amsterdam, March 22, via Londpn.
—The health of the German people is
surprisingly good and infant mortality
is lower than in peace time, according
to Vice Chancellor Helferich. The
vice chancellor is quoted by Berlin dis
patches to Reuter's as saying in a
speech before the Reichstag:
"Our fears regarding the possible
effects of a restricted fpod supply are
undounded. Moreover the health of
the people is surprisingly good and
infant mortality lower than in peace
times * * *. Great Britain's ef
forts with the plow proves the Im
portance she attaches to the submar
ine war. Her Imports win be further
restricted by our submarines.
"We have already taken measures
for the proper production and dis
tribution of raw materials after the
war and In regard to rebuilding our
mercantile fleet negotiations are pro
ceeding with the ship owners. Despite
the Paris conference we shall renew
relations with foreign powers after the
war."

Discouraging Payment ol
Attention to Chain Letters
Which Seek to Raise Money
Tho Ilarrisburg Chamber of Com
merce has sent a notice to Its members
discouraging the payment of attontion
to chain letter schemes to raise money,
create sympathy, etc., because sucli
schemes are an annoyance to people
and encourage people to foist plans on
a sympathetic public.
The Chamber of Cominercc hns In
vestigated one particular chain letter
scheme, which is designed to have
everybody receiving a letter to contri
bute twenty-four cents toward the
purchase' of chloroform to use in the
hospitals of the allies. An Investiga
tion of the matter by the Chamber
of Commerce discloses that the money
is apparently being turned over to the
British War Relief offlcerH in a proper
manner, but the New York lady whose
name has been used as a sponsor'for
tho movement, like many people who
have received tne chain letter, has
been continually annoyed by the move
ment.
Would Cut Request of
Labor Department For Funds
Reductions in the appropriation for
the State Department of Labor and In

Senate Appropriation committee, and
Representative Woodward, chairman
of the House Appropriation commit
tee, at a conference late last night with
the Economy and Efficiency Commis
sion, which consists of Governor

and Auditor General Powell.
John Price Jackson. State Commis
sioner of Labor and Industry, asked
for an appropriation from this Legisla

larger than that granted to the de

Are You Intoxi
cated ? The question is
not as impertinent as it
sounds. You may be a real
teetotaler and yet be "intoxi
cated"—that is, poisoned by
the gases that come from
imperfect digestion. The
products of food putrefaction
are taken up by the blood
and often poison the entire
system. Cut out meats and
starchy foods for a while.
Eat Shredded Wheat with
milk or cream for breakfast;
eat it with stewed fruits and
green vegetables for dinner
or supper. It will cure auto
intoxication and make a new
man of you. All the meat
of the whole wheat in a
digestible form. A perfect
meal at lowest cost. Made
at Niagara Falls, N. Y.
ment bureaus. Senator Buckman took
the stand that this time was unneces
sary if only because of the great and
increasing demand for labor of all
kinds in an industrial State like Penn
sylvania as a result of the European
war.
Besides Commissioner Jackson,
State Insurance Commissioner J. Den
ny O'Neil and Director James N.
Moore, of the Legislative Reference
Bureau, received the attention of tho
conferees.
Commissioner O'Neil only asked for
an increase of SG,OOO in his appropri
ation, while Director Moore asked for
none.
