SELECTION OF
ARCHITECT IS
AGAIN DELAYED
Stanim's Absence Will Prob
ably Hinder Naming of Ittner
at Today's Meeting
Because of the absence from the city
of A. Carson Sta.nm, president of the
City school board, no action was ex
pected on the selection of an architect
ftt the meeting of the directors late this
afternoon.
Weeks apro when a special commit
tee, of which President Stamm is chair
man. recommended the employment of
William B. Ittner, of St. Louis, as ar
chitect for the city schools, the board
refused to accept the report. Since
then numerous communications have
been received here from all parts of
the country where Mr. Ittner has been
employed, highly recommending his
work.
With President Stamm out of the
city, however, the selection of an
architect will probably be delayed
again. The teachers' committee this
afternoon recommended that the Civic
Club be given permission to conduct
a summer school again at the Susque
hanna building: the appointment of
Miss Margaret Johnson to succeed Miss
Helen J. Bright as teacher In the Web
ster building; discontinuing of exami
nations of pupils In the grades, and the
employment of Professors Todd. Shrein
er, Hamaker and Sheffer, of Technical
High school, during the summer
months, at a salary of/$l2O per month.
The instructors will be under the di
rection of the Buildings committee.
They are in charge of the woodwork
ing, machine shop and blacksmithing
departments at the school.

Druggist Tells How to Cure
the Liquor Habit at Home
Free Prescription Can Be Filled At
Any Durg Store and Given SoercUy.
Mr. H. J. Brown, a Cleveland man,
was for many years a confirmed
drunkard. His friends and relatives
despaired of ever redeeming him. His
sister sought the best medical men in
Europe in the hope that she might
find something which would cure him.
Finally she was recommended to an
eminent chemist, who gave her a pri
vate formula (the same as appears be
low) and told her how to use it. She
had it filled at the drug store and
gave it to him secretly. >The results
were startling. In a few weeks he
was completely cured. That was over
ten years ago and he has not touched
a drop since. He now_occupies a po
sition of trust and is "enthusiastic in
his efforts to help others overcome the'
liquor habit. He feels that he can
best do this by making public the
same formula which cured him. Here
ts the prescription: Go to any first
class drug store and get prepared tes
cum powders. Drop one powder twice
a day in coffee, tea or any liquid. It

RUSH PARKWAY
IMPROVEMENTS
Hurry Work Over Entire Sys
tem So Driveways and
Paths Can Be Used
Extensive improvements over the
entire city park system are being
rushed by Park Commissioner E. Z.
Gross and Assistant V. Grant Forrer
so that all the driveways can be open
ed and the parks will be in readiness
for use by the public.
Fifteen hundred feet of guard rail
along the upper lake road in Wild
wood Park has been replaced. The
old railing was erected when the road
was opened in 1911. Below the breast
of the dam another railing has been
built, together with a rustic bridge
for use by fishing parties.
By an arrangement between the
Park Department and the road super
visors of Susquehanna township, the
driveway along the breast of the dam
will be repaired and five carloads of
cinder used. Work on this improve
ment started yesterday.
To repair the walks from Maclay
street to the lake magy wagon loads
of cinder ware used to till holes. Plans
are now being considered for the re
arrangement of a -baseball field for
teams In the West End. This may be
continued on the present site opposite
Division street, or another field laid
out about 600 fet further north.
The pipe line running from the
magnesia spring to a bubbler foun
tain at the picnic grounds has been re
placed in sections and the fountain
is now In use. Repainting of the mo
torboat for the lake was statred and
this will be in service, too, within
the next few days.
Soon Oi>en Reservoir Drive
At Reservoir as soon as the roads
are scraped the driveways wi}l be
opened. A general clean-up has been
started. Seven tons of fertilizer and
more than 1,000 pounds of grass seed
will then be spread over the lowns.
Improvements to the golf course
will be supervised by Stewart Mc-
Ewan and Frank Zimmerman, golf
experts who will be in charge this
year. This will include getting the
putting greens and teeing grounds in
shape. Hundreds of pounds of fine
grass seed will be used on the greens.
One gang of men has been put to
work at Island Park repairing the
Btxth-mile track so that it can be used
by the teams for practice. Later this
will be lengthened to a quarter-mile.
Other men are at work removing rub

shown the above article said: "Yes,

for the drink habit. It is harmless,
wonderfully effective and is having an

wishes to destroy the liquor habit to

NEW HOUSES TO
COST SBO,OOO
H. A. Hippe Takes Out Permit
For Big Building Operation
at "Old Orchard"
A building permit was issued thia
afternoon to H. A. Hippie, contractor,
for the erection of thirteen pairs or
houses on the "Old Orchard" plot, in
Derry street, between Twenty-sixth
and rwenty-seventh streets.
The total cost of the operation will
be about SBO,OOO. In Derry sUeet, seven
pairs will be built; in Twenty-sixth
street, three pairs, and in Twenty-sev
enth street, three pairs. All of the
bouses will be of brick or brick and
stucco, with large side entrances,
porches, front and back yards, and all
modern improvements. A new street
will be opened dividing the big plot
into two parts. This will be known as
Raleign street, and will run parallel
to Derry, between Twenty-sixth and
Twenty-seventh streets.
Work will be started at once on Uie
construction of the dwellings. One of
the features which Mr. Hippie is con
templating in the operation will be the
use of a plot 70x100 feet for a play
ground for youngsters. This will front
on Raleign street. A tennis court may
be opened on the plot also.
Railroads Will Merge
Men For War Service
New York, April 6.—For war serv
ice the railroads of the United States
will be operated practically as one sys
tem. They expect to handle all gov
ernment business without seriously in
terfering with the nation's normal
commerce. A statement issued by
Fairfax Harrison, president of , the
Southern Railroad and general chair
man of the Special Committee on Na
tional Defense of the American Rail
way Association, says that the rail
roads have arranged to give to the
government "preferential use of all fa
cilities which may be needed for na
tional dfense."
Under a plan worked out with the
quartermaster-general of the army, the
government will advise the roads of its
requirements and the railroad man
agers will then be responsible for pro
viding that service.
Mr. Harrison says that the railroad
companies believe this plan will work
out better here than the plan adopted
in England, whereby the government
immediately assumed responsibility
for operation of the railroads.

Harrisburg Telegraph Will
Turn Over Seeds For Fifty
Gardens
den Commission, with headquarters in
Washington, whose articles instructing
city folk how to make a garden cut
down the cost of Hiving appearing
freuently in the HARRISBURG
TELEGRAPH, has offered to make a
gift to this newspaper of SIOO worth
of garden seeds sufficient to plant fifty

will be turned over to the Harrlsburg

tion.
In a statement on "the food crisis"
made to-day by Charles L. Pack, presi
dent of the Commission, he said:
"The Americanization of our coun
try Is proceeding at a swift rate and
with the utmost thoroughness. A war
spirit is developing that looks to a
world cleaned of what we now know
to be entirely evil. The new patriotism
is cosmopolitan for it has found out
that wickedness In power in Europe is
at our doors and within our homes,
both as a poison of the soul and as a
robbery of life through a price con
flscaUon of life's necessities. Let us
fight this evil.
"Patriotic words are empty air.
Patriotic acts alone will help. Plant a
food garden and do your part otwards
the economic victory.
"We expect to Induce more than one
million young people, women and eld
erly men this year to plant a food gar
den who have not done so before. This
alone should add much more than two
hundred and fifty million dollars to
the food value of this season's crop.
Those who hove made such gardens
before should increase their efforts."
