You don't get rid of all waste material. It should all go but it don't. Part of it collects in the kinks and curves of your bowels. That waste makes acid poisons in bowels, stom ach and blood.

CITY IS LEADING STATE FOR ARMY This District, With Smallest Population, Furnishes One- Third of Recruits The Harrisburg District for army recruiting is supplying one-third of the recruits of the State, according to an announcement made this morn ins by Captain William F. Harrell, in charge of the district. Pennsylvania is divided into four districts with headquarters in Harris burs. Philadelphia. Pittsburgh and Scranton. The Harrisburg district has the smallest population, with 1,- 720,000; Pittsburgh has 2,049.428; Philadelphia has 2,022,247, and Scran ton has 1,573,025. Tuesday Pennsyl vania was second in the number of men recruited in the United States, with 225. Out of this number 79 were enlisted from the Harrisburg district, leaving 146 for the other three dis tricts. This percentage is a little bet ter than one-third of the number re cruited out of the entire State. Navy Recruits Slow- Seventy-nine men were sent to Fort Slocum from the local army office yes terday, boosting the number to 258 during the week from this district. A good percentage of this number was from Harrisburg and vicinity. Quartermaster W. E. Quirk, in charge of the navy office, announced this morning that during the last three days not a single applicant has been received for enlistment at the local office and that only one man has been sent to Philadelphia. This one being an applicant of the previous week. RI'SS TO FIGHT OX Petrograd, April 19. via London.

Mr. Buddy is being introduced bv Howard C. Fry, president of the Ro tary Club. He is worth meeting. Don't tell the office boy you're "very busy" when he brings In Mr. Buddy's card. You'll miss something worth while if you do. Just a word with Mr. Buddy will explain why he has become one ofShe greatest Scout organizers in America. There's a reason and it is this—he's a "good scout" himself. He has just come in from New Bed ford, where the subscriptions ran $3,- 000 over the amount fixed, and every body knows that New Bedford, while it is doubtless a very fine little town, is nothing, absolutely nothing, as com pared with Harrisburg. Which is saying that Harrisburg proposes to back New Bdford right off the map, when It comes to the success of a Scout campaign. i'p to tJic FatJiers "It is very distinctly up to the fath ers of Harrisburg to get behind this movement," said Mr. Buddy to-day. "Many o fthem think they are too busy to teach their boys the things about the outdoors they ought to know and so the Scouts have to un dertake the work. The Scout move ment is not only good for the boy. but' for the community as well. It is both Yi moral uplift and an economic ad vantage. Where the Scouts are strong in membership and led by aggressive men juvenile crime is at a minimum. The advantage to the boys themselves and to the industries in which they engage in in after life is well illus trated by an experience I had while In Schenectady, N. Y. f where a census of the great plant of the General Electric Company showed that nearly every one of the young men who had made exceptional headway In their work and had won promotion over their fellows had been Boy Scouts In their youth. The management was so surprised and pleased that at once the company's contribution was greatly Increased and every official made a personal gift. Before very long Har risburg will know as much about the benefit of Scout work as do the people of Schenectady." HIGH COST NOT ITTNER'S FAULT [Continued I'rom l-'lrst I'agc] j owes the simple, graceful and econo j mical lighting system which distin | g-uishes it from other cities. The j model for these posts came from | Washington. Desiring to get the best for Wash ington, Congress appointed a commis sion which made an inspection of school buildings in ull the principal cities of the United States east of Den ver, this inspection developing the be lief that the school buildings of St. Louis were as a whole the best In the country. As these buildings had been i designed by William B. Ittner, it fol j lowed as" a matter of course that he I was the proper man to be employed ! for designing the new Central High school of Washington, j Inasmuch as Washington has its j own architectural officials, appointed i by the government, that part of the work of the designing architect which has to do with the erection of the building is not demanded. Mr. Itt ner, therefore, designed the Central High school of Washington, but he j did not erect it, as may be seen from ■ the letter from Mr. Snowden Ashford, , the municipal architect of Washing ; ton. who writes officially fro mthe of ! flee of the Engineer Commissioner. Mr. Ashford's Ix>tter Mr. Ashford's letter explains the I circumstances surrounding the erec ; tlon of this building, for which there ' seems to be great pride in Washing ton. The relatively high cost per pu | pil as shown 011 the comparative state . ment furnished by Mr. Ashford is ob | viously due to the causes he mentions, and the architect himself is in no sense j responsible. } Mr. J. Horace McFarland, Municipal League, Harrisburg, Penna. I Dear Sir: Your letter of the 15th, j concerning Mr. Wm. B. Ittner, inquir- I Ing as to the schoolhouse work in ! Washington, has been received, i The letter follows: I take pleasure in saying that Mr. I Ittner was selected to design a school house for this city after a commis | sion, appointed by Congress, had i made an inspection of the school buildings in all the principal cities east of Denver. We concluded that the school buildings of St. Louis, designed by Mr. Ittner, as a whole, were the best In the country. This opinion waa expressed at the subcommittee on appropriations of the House of Uepre sentatlves, when the appropriation for the Central High school was request ed. Answering your question directly, Mr. Ittner designed the Central High school. The work was satisfactorily done. The plans were the most com plete that have ever come into my office In twenty-two years' experience. Mr. Ittner's duties ended with the completion and approval of the plans, but he retained an interest In the work and was In constant touch with me in the interpretation of the plans and the construction of the building. As to your question concerning the excess cost over the estimated cost and the reasons therefore, I would say that It was not due in any way to Mr. Ittner or his plans. Two things con tributed to this. One was the great advance in cost of equipment, espe cially machinery for the shops, on account of war prices. Second, the au thority conferred on the principal of the school to suggest changes in the plans, many of which, were in my opinion, of questionable expediency and not commensurate with the added cost. But as there changes were ap proved by my superior officers, neither Mr. Ittner nor myself feel in any way responsible for the result. I would advise you by all means to employ an architect who has had years of experience in schoolhouse work, for an architect, however good he may be in domestic or public work, will find schoolhouse work a specialty! This has been recognized In most all of the larger cities which now em ploy an architect especially for such work, and I know none better quali fied than Mr. Ittner. Very truly yours, SNOWDEN ASHFORD, Municipal Architect, D. C. A letter to Mr. Stamm is along similar lines; February 9, 1917. President, Board of Education, Har risburg, Pa. A. C. Stamm: Ittner designed our new 2,600 pupil high school very sat- Isfctorily. We think highly of him. EHNEST L. THUUSTON, Supt. of Schools, Washington, D. C.

Frultola and Traxo are compounded from the original Edsall formulas at ] the Pinus laboratories in Monticello, 111., and can be purchased in drug stores; a doctor's prescription is not necessary.
