"Strange I Can't Eat"
Your appetite's all gone
you feel dull and loggy
you've got about as much am
bition as a last year's bird nest!
Do you know that your
bowels are more or less plug
ged up? 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. Your kid
neys and liver have too much
to do. They break down caus
ing headaches and backaches.
Fills, oils and tablets make
things worse. What you need
Is a scientific method of clean
ing and helping your bowels
and kidneys. That is Notox.
Take a little NOTOX every day—
neutralize the acids in intestines
and stomach. Clean out the bowels
easily and gently. Relieve your
kidneys. NOTOX tastes pleasant—
makes you feel good.
NOTOX is harmless even to a
child. It gives you a real appetite.
Use NOTOX daily for two weeks
(50c a box). Then you'll won
der why you didn't do it long ago.
Start today buy NOTOX at any
drug store.
For sale by all druggists.

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.

SCOUT ORGANIZER
OPENS CAMPAIGN
Lewis Buddy Here to Organize
Troops in This City; Raising
$12,000 Budget
Lewis Buddy, national field com
missioner of the Boy Scouts of
America, arrived in Harrisburg to-day
to open headquarters at 2 4 North
Third street for the campaign that is
about to be started under the auspices
of the Rotary Club of Harrisburg to
put the Scout movement on its feet
in this city by raising at least $12,000
to cover a buget for that period.
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.

Frultola and Traxo are compounded from the original Edsall formulas at ]

a doctor's prescription is not necessary. Fruitola is a pure fruit oil that acta

so much suffering, discharging the accumulated waste to the sufferer's intense |

"After the War—What?"
"I hope the war wll give suffrage to
the women of the United States, not
because they have earned It, but be
cause they always should have had it,"
Dr. Howe declared.
After thel ecture Dr. Howe said he,
along with steamship company heads,

thi-re will wll be a great exodus of for

the war is over. He placed the number

The reasonf or this, he explained. Is
that they wll be anxious to see how
