Conquers Rheumatism | In a Very Few Days It is an established fact that one- i half teaspoonful of Rheuma taken I once a day has driven the pain and agony from thousands of racked, crippled and despairing rheumatics i during the last five years. Powerful and sure; quick acting, ■ yet harmless; Rheuma gives blessed | relief almost at once. The magic: name has reached every hamlet in ! the land and there is hardly a drug gist anywhere who cannot tell you of almost marvelous cures. If you are tortured with rheu- \ matism or sciatica, you can get a j bottle of Rheuma from H. C. Ken- J nedy or any druggist for not more than 50 cents, with the understand ,ng that if it does not completely irive rheumatic poisons from your tystem—Money back. —Adv.

It is yf< a vital factor for the development of man power which S\t L is the lever of all successful business. But while you may not be concerned with the ethical IJOC side of the partnership, you as a user of tires are £2^s i rS] w vitally interested in its effect on the quality and ft llr ! mileage cost of Firestone Tires. | Now that Firestone workers are owners of the business, J# jun J it is logical to suppose that there will be improvements Kv ! all alonfc the line. Efficiency has always been the ]pg Firestone watchword, and everybody knows that men sg are more efficient when personal pride and ambition are involved. V|7 .

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MAYOR FAVORS NEEDED CHANGES IN CITY POLICE Declares He Will Bring Sur vey Recommendations Before Council \ "While I have not gone over thor oughly the entire report of the sur vey of the city police department, I am heartily in favor of many of the recommendations which have been made and will bring the question before council to decide on changes," Mayor Charles A. Miller said to-day. The city's neyl-elected executive made this short and terse comment at the conclusion of a discussion of the various changes specifically rec ommended ror the betterment of po lice conditions in the city in the survey report by the Bureau of Muni cipal Research, New York. Supporting the Mayor4n any move he makes will be Chief of Police J. Edward Wetzel and Captain of Po lice Joseph P. Thompson. The lat ter has charge of the traffic squad of the force. Probably the three points in the report which Mayor Miller displayed the greatest interest in were the rec ommendations for civil service for the force, revision of traffic regula tions and the need of a propel' police court with a magistrate to hear all cases. Plans Aarly Action Early action will be taken. Mayor Miller said, on the recommendation to send officers to New York to make a study of the handling of traffic. "I believe the officers should have more training in this work and should make a study of it. I think something will be done to give them an opportunity for this. There Is no question that the traffic problem is dailyt becoming more serious. "Another great need /Is a larger force. We should have at least five motorcycle officers for a city the of Harrisburg, and a force of about seventy-five men instear of fifty. The usual estimate for police protection is one officer for every thousand in a city. "Civil service for the force would certainly add to the efficiency, too. To provide a fitting police court for hearings would be almost an im possibility in the present quarters of the department, the Mayor pointed out, as he expressed an opinion that to do this, the city should have all its offices consolidated in a City Hall. This would give an opportunity, alsc> the Mayor said, to provide for sep arate hearings for women and juve niles. Wants Open IMscusslon Mayor Miller will consider all points brought out in th e report, and may present it to council next week for an open discussion of the recom mendations. Chief of Police Wetzel highly en dorsed the civil service, police mag istrate and traffic revision sugges tions of the report and declared he will do everything possible to make the present limited force more effi cient. The traffic suggestions will proba bly be taken up at length with Cap tain Thompson, of the traffic force. Captain Thompson, in speaking of the need of action, declared the first steps to make revisions will be to restrict parking In narrow streets such as Third and Fourth. To do this, he said, would make it neces sary for the city to provide space for | parking automobiles, which is being done in Detroit where a number of buildings were bought by the city, razed and the place turned into a parking area.
