Mayors of Indiana Cities
Plan Many Garden Plots
By Associated Press
Indianapolis, April 11. On the
call of Governor Goodrich, the mayors
of practically all Indiana cities met
here to-day to discuss plana for using
all idle land adjacent to the cities
of the State. The meeting is part ot
the plan State officials to use every
available acre for food production
this year. • ..
Suggestions made at the meeting
were to make two distinct surveys in
each citv, one to determine where the
idle land lies and the other to ascer
tain the men who will not be called
to the country's defense who are will
ing to devote an hour a da.y, or their
spart time to the cultivation of the
idle land.

"Thanks to Tanlae, I feel as fit

Harrisburg.
"I'd been in bad shape for quite
awhile," he continues, "short" of
breath, had a touch of rheumatism
and couldn't sleep except sitting up
in a chair. It sort of looked as if
I was about due for "Taps"—but not
now.
"I happened to read a piece in the
paper about a man who had trou
ble similar to mine and who was
helped by Tanlac, so I said to myself.
"I'll see what it will do for me." And
believe me, I am glad 1 did for it
lias given me a new lease on life. I
feel tine. My rheumatism is gone and
I sleep better and I'm stronger all
over. In fact the way I feel now I
could go through another war and
hold up my end with the youngsters."
"It's a great medicine, this Tanlac,
and I do not hesitate to recommend
it."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the

SAYS BOO! IS A
POISON FACTORY
Urges everyone to drink glass of
hot water before
breakfast
Just as coal, when It burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom
bustible material In the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely elimin
ated from the system each day, be
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of left-over waste, toxins and
ptomain-like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime-
stone phosphate in it to wash out of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
r day's accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen
tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
Internal sanitation. This will cost
very little, but Is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember Inside bathing Is more
Important than outside bathing, be
cause the skin pores do not absorb Im
purities Into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate act
on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
feovels. —Advertisement.
WEDNESDAY EVENING,
NEWS OF S
DARBY ENDORSES
AMERICANIZATION
School Board President Favors
Plan For Education of
Foreigners
\V. F. Darby, president of the
Steelton School Board and active ia
municipal work in the borough,
heartily endorses the Americaniza
tion League plan for the education
of the foreigners located here.
Mr. Darby said in reply to an in
quiry as to what he thought about
the project of more eltectively pro
moting the Americanization of the
Immigrants coming here, "that so far
and as quickly as it could bo prac
tically effected, 1 am very earnestly
in favor of it both for the sake of
Uie Immigrants themselves and
America, The general project should
have as much help as practical in
every way."
Mr. Darby's idea was that the mere
effecting of naturalization in the reg
ular cut-and-dried way, was not
nearly enough for the good of all
interests concerned. "The thought of
the better, practical education of tlie
immigrants suggests, of course, some
practical troubles and difficulties that
will have to be met patiently," he
said. "This does not mean simply
the thought of 'book* education by
any manner of means. The new cit
izen should be so taught as to 'ab
sorb' something of both the practical
ends to be accomplished as well as
of the teaching, in other words some
thing of what they owe on account
of their new allegiance in at least
partial return for what their new
country is doing for them.
"It is not enough to say to them,
'you must pay your taxes;' it is not
enough for thetn to come hero and
make their living here and pay a lit
tle pittance of taxes. They must put
something of themselves personally
into their daily life in their new
country and they must make sacri
fices, too.
Gradually Be Taught
"For another thing they should be
glad to not only make their living
here and out of it pay their taxes
here, but they should gradually be
taught to appreciate it as a privilege
to pay their savings here instead of
hoarding them up and every few
months sending them back to the
old mother country.
"The matter of gradually educat
ing these new citizens along these
practical lines is bound to take some
time; it cannot possibly be hopefully
undertaken along any hurried lines.
The job is a big one. and if we ask
them to bite off a whole lot at once
the trouble is that then thoy will
find themselves unable to sufficiently
masticate what they 1 ave been in
duced to attempt the first bite.
"Look at it from the American's
standpoint: The mere project of edu
cating these new citizens even from
the limited point of view of book
learning is going to be both a big
and expensive proposition which,
with the other educational require
ments modernly imposed upon the
school authorities must be attempted
only gradually.
"A whole lot depends, of course,
upon the practical willingness of the
new citizens. There will be compara
tively little gained to attempt to force
their hand. The practical difficulty
growing out of the varying degrees
of willingness on the part of the re
spective roots of aliens in our midst
are numerous and great,'in fact are
simply staggering. Just how they
can be successfully handled and along
that practical line will require more
thought than most of ns have thus
far been able to give the question."

Large Sums to Farmers. lt cost
the State and Federal governments
Jointly $1,250,000 to indemnify farm
ers for the loss of cattle during tho
foot and mouth disease epidemic two
years ago, according to the testimony
of Dr. C. J. Marshall, who, as head
of the State Livestock Sanitary Board,
appeared before the appropriations
committee. Pennsylvania paid half
the bill. Attorney General Brown and
Auditor General Powell were sched
uled to appear before th committee,
but they were detained. Members of
the Commission of Agriculture were to
appear also, but they requested to be
heard in tho presence of Secretary
Patton. It is the intention of the com

showed that out of the 1300,000 ap
propriated asked by his department
the board wants $240,000 lor pay
ment of salaries, and the balance,
$60,000, to indemnify farmers for any
loss of cattle. Some of the senators
thought that the expenditure of $4
for every $1 of the indemnity paid
was rather costly to the State; but
Dr. Marshall explained htat the de
partment's mai nwork was not in in
demnifying farmers, but In preventing
the spread of infectious diseases
among cattle. Two years ago the
board got an appropriation of $200,-
000. Senator McNiehol brought out
that the force of 59 employes was re

or not any indemnity worji wan re
quired. The committee was anxious
to know why all the auditing and cash
work had been taken out of the hands
of the board by the Scretary of Agri
culture. Dr. Marshall was instructed
to submit a tabulated list of employ
es and their salaries, and the amounts
actully paid for Indemnities during
the past two years. Dr. E. E. Sparks,
of State College, made the suggestion
that the college be given charge of all
the State's educational work along
agricultural lines and confine the Ag
ricultural Department to police work
only. Such a plan, he said, would
prevent any overlapping in activities.
