Great Decline in German
Birthrate Is Alarming
By Associated Press
Copenhagen, May 28. A great de
cline in the German birthrate, due
to the war, continues to produce dis
quietude among German sociologists.
Official statistics of the Imperial
health Inprau for cities with popula
tions ol' T?,000 and over and 200,000
and over show a further heary de
cline in the birthrate of 1916, as com
pared with that of 1915, which itself
was some 20 per cent, below that of
1914.
Twenty-six German cities in the
class of populations of 200,000 and
over report a decrease of 98,093 births,
or 38.3 per cent, as contrasted with
the number of children born in 1911,
while the percentage in all cities with
populations of 15,000 and over is
slightly higher, namely 39H Per cent.
The Great Secret of
Rejuvenating the Face |
She holds the true secret of facial
rejuvenation who has learned how to
remove the dead skin particles as fast
as they appear. It's a secret anyone
may possess. The aged, faded, or dis
colored surface skin may be gradual
ly absorbed, in an entirely safe and
rational manner, by the nightly ap
plication of ordinary meroolized wax.
AVithin a week or two the underly
ing skin, youthful and beautiful to
behold, has taken the place of the dis
carded cuticle. So little of the old
skin is absorbed each day there's no
inconvenience at all, and no one sus
pects you are putting anything on
your face. The mercolized wax, pro
curable at any drug storo (an ounce
is sufficient), is applied like cold
cream. In the morning it is erased
witli soap and water. It's the best
tiling known for freckles, blackheads,
pimples, moth patches, liver spots and
line surface wrinkles.
For tlie deeper wrinkles and crows
feet an excellent and harmless recipe
is: Powdered saxolite. one ounce, dis
solved in one-half pint witch hazel.
Bathing the face in the solution pro
duces quick and wonderful results. It
is fine for saggy cheeks or chin.—Ad

Ice
Customers
Must Help
if cost of ice this year is to be kept
down to the minimum.
Labor conditions are now such that if con
sumers demand the service of former years
it will mean a further advance in the price of
ice over the new schedule that will he put
into effect on June 1.
Ice delivery is not a pleasant job and work
ers are not easy to get. This year it will be
worse than ever.
We must pay well for men to operate our
ice wagons and if these men must rouse peo
ple out of bed, to open the doors, and then
clean out the refrigerators to put in the ice,
and again put the edibles back in the refrig
erator, too much time will be consumed to
keep prices down.
If consumers put their own ice away, in
stead of causing a loss of from two to ten
minutes, less wagons will be required and
cost of delivering will be lowered.
Besides, it is unsanitary to permit the ice man to
handle your edibles. The ice man begins his work at
an early hour each day.. First he attends his horses
and does a lot of other work, then he goes his rounds
over dusty dirty streets; yet a large number of people
thoughtlessly permit the ice man to remove their
food products from the refrigerator without a word
of protest.
One wonders that this unsanitary practice has
lasted so long.
The men are required to cover a certain territory
each day and a minute delay here and there adds
much to the actual cost of delivering ice.

APPROPRIATION
BILLS GO ALONG
Chairman Woodward's Father
Dies and Committee Work Is
Interrupted For a Day
Appropriations of over $16,000,000
for various purposes and bills pro
viding for additions to the State
highway system whi-ch would cost
between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 to
improve are the biggest items on one
of the heaviest calendars of the ses
sion for the House of Representa
tives to-night. In addition there are
over 250 bills of a general character
on various stages. The House could
be busy until Friday, holding three
sessions a day on the bills scheduled
for its action.
The appropriations have the right
of way and the road bills are on first
reading, the roads committee having
reported out everything in the way
of new highways. Whether there
will be action on any more appropri
ation bills, including the big colleges
depends on the length of the ses
sions. Chairman Woodward, of the
House appropriations, lost his father
by death yesterday and the work of
the committee may be postponed for
a day or so.
The Senate has a small calendar
and will probably not do much this
week as it is the plan to have the
House get its appropriation bills
through so that the whole legislative
situation can be gone over. The im
pression is that there will not be
much legislation enacted after the
appropriation bills go through, just
enough to keep the Legislature busy
while the Governor is acting on the
hospital appropriations and the joint
committee is framing the general ap
propriation bill. If harmony in re
gard to appointments is achieved
there will not be as many trimming
operations performed on the general
bill as otherwise.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
The United States has entered this
war with a thrilling and convincing
statement of her motives. England
and France have acclaimed us as an
ally whose purpose acknowledges
that their tremendous sacrifices dur
ing the past three years of fighting
were made in a crusade for civiliza
tion and against barbarism.
Never in our history has there
been a nobler call to national duty.
It brought us face to face with the
debt each one of us owes, not only to
our country, but to civilization. But
if we are going to give substance to
President Wilson's inspiring words,
every patriotic man, woman and
child in this country ought to do his
bit, and do it in the way in which he
or she may be the most efficient.
There are so many ways now to
help, that every one can find some
thing to do—if he is willing to do it.
And in the doing, many of us will ac
quire a conscious nationalism which
we have never felt before. We will
learn to look upon our flag not as a
mere decoration, but as a sacred
token of service.
There can be but one brand of loy
alty in this country now—active sup
port of our government's plans; and
the quicker every one of us gets
busy doing for the aid of our gov
ernment, the thing that we can do
best, the sooner this war will be over
and peace secured.
What can you do?— Everybody's.
GEX. HAH;, GENERAL
MANAGER OF THE WAR
In Everybody's, Isaac F. Marcos
son paints Sir Douglas Haig as the
man of action and keen insight. The
writer paid a visit to England's fa
mous war chief at his headquarters,
an old chateau in France.
"A tall, lithe, well-knit man with
the insignia of a field-marshal on his
shoulder-traps," is the description
we get. "He is the personification
of personal modesty, a deep-seated
and sincere aversion to exploitation.
He shuns the spot-light.
"X found myself," he continues, "in
a presence that, even without the
slightest clue to its profession, would
have unconsciously impressed itself
as military. Dignity, distinction and
a grave reserve mingle in his bear
ing. His hair and mustache are fair,
and his clear, almost steely blue eyes
search you, but not unkindly. His
chest is broad and deep. Cavalry
training sticks out all over him. He
stands easily and gracefully, and
walks with that rangy, swinging
stride so common to men who ride
much. In brief. Sir Douglas Haig is
the literal impersonation of the
phrase 'every inch a soldier.' "

HUMORISTS TO
STORM NEW YORK
Newspaper Workers to Gath
er Around Great Chestnut
Tree in Heart of City
New York. May 28. —Billy Sun
day has made the metropolis gasp,
but it is to undergo another attack
upon its traditions later on—the last
week in June, to be explicit.
A hardy mob of newspaper hu
morists is to invade it in that week
and treat Broadway as if it belonged
to them. They are going to spend
a holiday in New York and spend
money. In fact, some of them don't
care anything at all aoout thirty-five
cents.
It is their fifteenth annual con
vention, and, having met In past
years almost everywhere else, took
the dare of their local membership
to meet this time Ui the most awe
inspiring place of all. New York.
Just to show how overpowered they
are with the extreme majesty of
New York they are going to plant a
rollicking chestnut tree right in the
midst of city hall pluza where all
the plug-hatted ceremonies take
place. The chestnut tree Is to re
mind the ponderous city that there
is a lighter side of life, and that one
need not be rich to be happy if one
is but good humored. All that is
settled.
But one difficulty has arisen. The
Mayor, John Purroy Mitchel, let
them have a site like a regular fel
low. They have the site and the
spade, and dedicatory odes. No
trouble about odes. But chestnut
trees are scarce. It seems that a
blight has so bothered the arboreal
form of the chestnut that there is
no supply in the east, at least none
that will pass a 100 per cent, med
ical test. The committee, of which
Don Marquis is chairman, appeals
to a patriotic country. Is there a
chestnut tree that wants to come to
New York? And grow in front of
the city hall? And ne dedicated
with odes? And be watered with the
tears of a listening populace? Let
such a tree hit the trail, via ex
press. prepaid. Oh, dear, yes, it
ought to be prepaid.
Says J. A. Waldron, editor of
Judge, secretary of the American
Press Humorists. "It should be not
over two years old. Well-rooted but
not profusely. It shouia not be a
horse chestnut, lest it evoke horse
laughs. A Spanish chestnut will do
if It lias been naturalized or at
least has taken out its first papers.
It need never have borne a crop.
There is a crop of choice chestnuts
to drape upon it at the planting.
Come of them are 100 years old,
and seem never to die. It is sus
pected that they are alive inside. At
any rate our ceremony will be a dig
nified way to get rid of them. All
of us are going to bring our ac
cumulated store of chestnuts and
hang them on this tree for the squir
rels in City Hall Park."
Always democratic, never snob
bish, the humorists have invited the
street cleaning department band to
furnish music at the planting. An
old sweet melody will be rendered:
"White Wings."
Delegates of hoydenish humorists
from Chicago. Detroit, Cleveland,
Denver, San Francisco and points
I between are coming, especially since
the Rotary Club of New York is go
ing to dine them. They are to be
greeted by a coterie of unblushing
Gotham humorists that includes K.

BOLD ATTEMPT TO
ROB POST OFFICE
Front Door at Mount Holly
Springs Forced Open; Burg
lars Frightened Away
Carlisle, Pa., May 28.—An attempt
was made during last night to rob the
post office at Mount Holly Springs.
This morning when Postmaster Ira
Gleim, who lives in another part of
town, went to the office he found that
the front door had been forced open
with a crowbar and inside a number
of tools and carriage robes were scat
tered about. Toolmarks on the door
of the safe around the combination
and knob show that the robbers bad
attempted to open it. They were evi
dently frightened away, as they left
everything lay Just as they had been
using it. The tools were stolen from
the blacksmith shop of W. 11. Thomas,
in another section of the town. As
far as can be ascertained, nothing was
taken from the office. Post office de
partment inspectors have been noti
fied.
This is the fourth robbery or at
tempted robbery at this office in a
little more than two years. When the'
safe was blown open and rohbed in
February last the tools were stolen
from the Thomas blacksmith shop.

Convention at Dillsburg
Dillsburg, Pa., May 28.—The
semiannual convention of the Up
per District Sabbath School Asso-1
elation was held in Calvary Unitedi
Brethren Church Saturday and Sun-I
day. The Rev. O. E. Krenz was j

The Horrible Handicap
of Poisoned Blood
The Innocent Suffer Even
Unto the Third and Fourth
Generations, But Relief Is
Now in Sight.
It has long been accepted as a
matter of course that the sins of the

severe diseases of the blood that pass
from one generation to another. No
matter what inherited blood taint you
may be laboring under, S. S. S. offers
