LINOTYPE OPERATOR STUDIES
LAW THEN ENTERS ARMY
J. Tfromas Keesey, Former
Telegraph Employe, Ready
For Admittance to Bar; to
Enter Training C.amp
Another member of the HARRIS
BURG TELEGRAPH family has
made good and it is with pleasure
that this newspaper to-day records
iis success.
A few years ago J. Thomas Keesey,
a linotype operator on the TELE
GRAPH and well known among the
•printers of Harrisburg, went to In
dianapolis where he held a position
on the Xews of that city. Supporting
liimself and his wife in his daily em
ployment, he meanwhile studied law
and will in a few days receive his
diploma from the Benjamin Harri
son Law School. He has kept In touch
with friends in Harrisburg and they
Tfiave been gratified from time to time
to hear of his upward climbing.
To-day a letter was received from
Mm stating that although he was
too old for conscription he had ap
plied for admission to the training
camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison
• t>nd had been accepted. As he has
made good in the strenuous endeav
ors of recent years, "Tom" will un
doubtedly continue to make good in
the service of his country. He was a
soldier during the Spanish-American
War and did his bit in the Philip
pines. Mrs. Keesey hopes to enter
the service as a Red Cross nurse.
The Keesey brothers will be re
membered among their friends In
The printing fraternity here as sklll-
Hed musicians, who frequently took
! prominent parts in the entertain
ments in the city during their resi
dence In Harrisburg.
All his friends in the old home
J town rejoice in "Tom's" splendid
•success as a result of his persistent
innd honorable efforts and will ac
company him with their best wishes.
Writing to a friend from Fort
' Harrison, the former member of

BACKACHE KILLS!
Don't make the fatal mistake of
neglecting what may seem to be a
"simple little backache." There isn't
any such thing. It may be the first
warning that your kidneys are not
working properly, and throwing off
the poisons as they should. If this is
the case, go after the cause of that
backache and do it quickly, or you
may find yourself in the grip of an
incurable disease.

Haarlam Oil Capsules are imported di

Washing Windows Is Part
of Officers' Training
Junction City, Kan., May 23. —
Window washing 1 was added to the
curriculum of household science that
has constituted the first work of the
men waiting rather Impatiently at
Fort Riley for the beginning' of their
three months' training for commis
sions In the officers' reserve corps.
Last week all companies were
taught how to make their beds, and
in several instances entire units were
turned out to sweep, not only squad
rooms, but sidewalks leading to bar
racks as well.
At the morning clean-up hour
pails of hot water und soap were
provided two of the companies and
the men washed windows to the en
tire satisfaction of their sergeants.
The spirit with which the men
have swept floors and sidewalks,
washed windows and made their
own beds is enlightening. All has
been performed as though it were
no task at all and in the spirit that
if it had to be done and the officers
wanted them to do it, the matter
was ended right there.
Striking War Poster
Inspired by a Dream
New York, May 23.—One of the
most striking war posters, among
the hundreds that have appeared, is
"Columbia Calls." It is the work
of Mrs. Frances Adams Halsted.
The figure of Columbia, sword in
hand, stands on a globe surmounted
by the American flag. In her cap is
a coronet of silver stars.
After forming the idea for the
"Columbia Calls" poster, Mrs. Hal
sted sought in vain for a model. The
figure she wanted finally took form
in lier dreams.
The poster has been accepted by
the government.
Little Chicken Needs
More Food Than Big Pig
London. May 23.—Keep pigs in
stead of chickens, is the govern
ment's latest advice to householders
bent on maintaining the food sup
ply at the least possible expense.
It appears that it cost;; less to feed
a big pig than it does to feed a little
chicken. Chickens eat too much
corn, for want of which horse racing !
is about to be halted in this country,
while pigs will clean up all the
waste and scraps from the table.

Frat Pins and Autos
Are Barred at Camp
Fort Sheridan, 111., May 23.—Fra
ternity pins and motorcars were
placed under the ban at the reserve
officers' training camp by Colonel
William Nicholson, commandant. A
number of the candidates for com
missions had been wearing jeweled
pins on the olive drag shirts, and
were using their private automo
biles for trips about the camp dur
ing leisure hours. These, Colonel
Nicholson held, did not make for
democracy.
The college yells which have dis
tinguished many gatherings since the
camp began also have been banished.
The men were told that henceforth
their schooling is to be that of the
American army and not that of the
campus.

Ice Water Down His
Back; Wins a Divorce
Philadelphia, May 23.- > cup of
cold water, not In the biblical sense,
was the final iniquity which goad
ed Joseph Christian beyond the
bounds of endurance, and inspired
him with courage to make a bold
stroke for freedom from marital
bonds.
Nagging, abuse and other indig
nities and even downright cruelty, a
man may stand within reason for
; four long years, according to Chris
tion, but when one's wife starts the
fifth year with an unusually heated
tirade, and then insist*, on cooling
one's temper herself by throwing
a cup of fee-cold water down one's
neck, why then too much is enough,
and action is called for.
So Christian acted, and President
Judge McMichnel, and twelve honest
men and true in Court No. decided
that Christian would be just as well
off without bis wife, Kdith, and that
he was entitled to a divorce.

Mr. McFarland Protests
Failure to* Provide
Playgrounds For Schools
Protesting against the failure to
provide playground facilities for the
Harrisburg schools and deploring the
use of the Vernon street school play
ground as a public garden, J. Horace
McFarland called the attention of
Harry A. Boyer, of the school board,
to the question.
Mr. Boyer Introduced the resolu
tion at a recent meeting of the school
board, asking to have the Vernon
playground used for gardens.
In the communication to Mr. Boy
er, Mr. McFarland pointed to the
disregard of the law with respect v
the provision of playground facili
ties, and said that he will call atten
tion to the failure of the school dis
trict to obey the law in relation to
any new buildings put in service.
Mr. Boyer, in reply, said the use
of the \ crnon playground was re
quested by at least twenty-five per
sons residing in the vicinity, manv
of whom have taken small plots to
cultivate this season. The question
I of equipping the projected buildings
I lias not been considered yet and the
present facilities are adequate, Mr.

Three-Cent War Bread
Made by Hotel Chiel
New York, May 2 3.—A "war
bread" which can be sold at a profit
for three cents for a loaf weighing
twenty-four ounces has been made
by the French chef of a hotel in
this city and is now being sold to
the hotel's employes. It ts said to
faste better than whole wheat bread,
j and to retain its freshness for four
j clays and sometimes fonger.
The principal ingredients of the
new bread, according to the receipt
are whole wheat flour and stale
bread. Stale bread must be soaked
in clear water for two hours and
then run through a sieve until pul
verized, the receipt, reads. Then to
pach pound of the pulverized prod
uct is added four pounds of white
flour and one-half a cake of com
pressed yeast.
Five pounds of material, it is said,
will produce seven one-pound loaves
of bread.
