4 NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE MILITARY BILL IS UP TO GOVERNOR ftlcKee Measure Passed the House and Its Approval Is Said to Be Assured The McKee reserve militia bill establishing three regiments of in fantry and a squadron of cavalry to act as a provisional guard when the National Guard is on war service, was passed Anally in the House and now goes to the Governor for action. The Adjutant General will designate where the organizations will be lo cated where there are armories. No opposition was manifested.

The House passed finally the Swartz bill to establish ten addi tional bank examiners which are badly needed. The Beidleman bill authorizing an additional clerk and four stenographers in the Depart ment of Public Instruction was also passed. In order to give Senator Buck man, Bucks, a former member of the House, opportunity to speak on some bills the House went into com mittee of the whole. It was an unusual action for the House. The bills were designed to take out of the Doylestown charter a clause ■which made Bucks county pay for street improvements. Mr. McNichol, Philadelphia, acted as chairman and after remarks by Senator Buckman, the House passed the bill. The Beidleman bill changing the Don't Let Spring Debility Get You Firmly in Its Grasp Purify Your Blood and Avoid "That Tired Feeling" So General Just Now. Sluggish blood causes what is gen erally termed "Spring fever," that affects so many people just at this season, and everything seems all wrong to those whose system is not In perfect condition. If you become tired easily; if your appetite is gone; if you suffer from doziness and a general "down and out" feeling seems to pervade your system, the cause is in your blood, and you will not feel- right or enjoy perfect health until it has been cleansed of all impurities.

HARRIBBURG tSSk TELEGRAPH THE CHAMBERS OF IMAGERY TCTST Oomments On The Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic Of Tlie, Young Poopc's Sodctlos—Christian KnUeavor, Etc.—For June 10: "Sins Of Tlic M4nd." Rom. 8:1-11. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. By WIL.UAM T. ELLIS. The first contribution we can make to the world, If we seek its better ment, is a strong life. Unless we have unbending: integrity and breadth of soul it will be impossible, for us to lift up our fellows. We cannot help another to get higher up than we are ourselves. Rach must lift his own life before he can lift his neigh bor's life. Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something <i° that day that must be done whether you like it or not. Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed In you temperance, selfcontrol, diligence, strength of will, content and a* hundred virtues which the idle never know.—Charles Kingsley. Lives bear both wheat and tares. The divided harvest is the lot of every soul. But the proof of life is whether the tares or the wheat is cast out when discovered. Search thine own heart. What paln eth thee in others, in thyself piay be. All dust is frail, all flesh is weak, be thou the true man thou dost seek. To amend the mind is to lift the life. "As a man thinketh .... so is he." Minds are improved by contact with wiser minds; and the wiser you are the more people you will find that in some points know more than you do.— Amos R. Wells. The improving: of a farm is proved by the crops. You cannot really Im prove- your mind without seeing the result in your life.—Amos R. Wells. Gossiping is a mental sin first of all. It denotes a mind lacking big interests and worth-while ideals.—R. P. Anderson. Selfishness is the fundamental sin of the mind. It hampers the I, the self. It is hostile to God, for it will not give up any of its own will for His.—R. P. Anderson. Covetousness 13 one of the worst sins, because the older one grows, the worse it becomes, whereas grosser LAUDS SYSTEMATIC CAMPAIGN FOR LIBERTY BONDS BEING CONDUCTED "This loan would be subscribed by 10,000,000-peqlple, with a tremendous surplus left for future needs, if the country at large were as well organ ized as the people of Harrisburg," said Frank A. Yanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York, the biggest financial institution in the country, addressing a meeting of members of the Chamber of Com merce, at the Technical High school last evening. "Harrisburg is doing a fine piece of work for this loan. Your organi zation is the best T have seen any where and I have visited many cities. Notwithstanding that your quota has been oversubscribed, your city is be inr combed so that everybody with sins lose their hold.—R. P. Anderson. Yesterday I met a glutton whose vice has destroyed his mind more completely than even strong drinlc usually does. He has for years lived to eat. To the pleasures of the table he has sacrificed his college training, his ambitions, his manhood responsi bilities and all the fine delights of life. The instance illustrates in an unusual fashion, the peril of caring for the body at the expense of the mind. Had that man sought Intel lectual pleasures instead of gross gluttony, he would have been an honor to his friends, instead, of a by word and a joke. His plight which exeites the derision of all who come into contact with him, recalls that earlier day in the civilization of Eu rope. when the body received more education than the mind, and to be "a good trencherman" was more hon orable than to be a good scholar. Now, however, in all lands where civ ilization is dominant, the development of the mind and spirit is held to be the highest privilege of man. and the clear duty of all who have the train ing of people in charge. Ministry helps to mastery. When we are best serving others we forget to obey self. It is the life that is tvost engaged in unselfish service against which the arrows of tempta tion least" force. Devotion to others is strong armor against the temptations of selfishness. . Th.e blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin, and the Spirit of Christ keeps us from falling into sin. So lonic as we are on this earth we shall need the mighty power of the Holy Spirit to help us to escape and overcome the snares of sin. The higher we advance in the spir itual. life the more plainly we see in ourselves the sins that we constantly commit. It was John the disciple who lived nearest to the heart of the Mas ter, who declared tlvit "if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves." The sinless are not on this earth. j a dollar to spare for this loan is be | in?? pressed to invest. "1 want to say that the men who ! are doing this work are serving- their j country just as patriotically and just | as ably as though they wore the uni form of the army. But they must i not let their organization lapse. They must hold it together. There will | be other loan.?, other services, and the Red Cross to support. War means the organization of every branch of civic life. For every twenty-five men in the army there must be seventy-five back'of the fighting lines." Meeting Follows Dinner The meeting followed a "war menu" dinner at the Harriaburg Club, tendered Mr. Vanderlip by the Harrisburg Clearing House Associa tion, and William Jennings presid ed. He presented Mr. Vanderlip and afterward Former Congressman James F. Burke, of Pittsburgh, who delivered an address sparkling with epigram and eloquence. "If this country realized, first, that there is a war; secondly, that we're in it, and, thirdly, that it costs money, there would be no trouble about obtaining subscriptions to the Liberty Loan," Mr. Vanderlip said. "America is facing the greatest finan cial task erer presented to the na tion. It is because the country does not understand these three . simple fundamental propositions that this loan isn't already oversubscribed." He described conditions in the va rious countries opposing Germany and depicted the chaotic and unset tled conditions in Hussia and the dangers involved therein with regard to the interests of this na.tion. "Nobody can tell what the future is going to be, politically, in Rus sia," he said. "There might bo a separate Russian peace, though I personally do not think there will be. There is this possibility, how ever, which would result in the re lease of more than a million prison ers now in Russia, who would be available for duty. It would also release the armies of the Central powers now fighting on the cast rront and .open tip the vast food stores of Russia to her former foes. "England is getting hungry. .Ships are being sunk faster than they can be built. The U-boat situation must be conquered. I don't care how rich a nation is, she can't fight if she is starving. Do you realize what it would mean if England were forced to make peace because she was starv ed out, and the English navy taken, with a-Oerman invasion of this coun try to follow? This country must wake up to the fact that there is a war, and that we're in it. We're the greatest hope of civilization and we've got to win. The weight of the United States will turn the scale. Why Germany Wanted War "Did you ever wonder why Ger many wanted us in this war? I think it was in order to have a solvent nation when the end came, If Germany should be victorious. That would mean that we'd he asked to foot the bill. We aren't playing at war. This Is the real thing. This is the most serious situation the na tion ever faded." "This loan," he said, "Is one of the most intelligent investments a man can make. A higher rate of in terest might have caused a financial crisis. Congress and the administra tion have already accomplished great things—the bond issue and the con scription law—and we started this war with the finest declaration of principles that ever backed a nation going into a conflict. "The bonds are an obligation of the United States, and, though thera will be a considerable deduction of Incomes, it can't fall on these bonds, for they are free from taxation and they can be exchanged for any bohds issued in the future bearing a higher rate of interest; and. as to security, they are the highest, kind of paper in the world. The war must be paid for hy the savings of the future, and it must be fought by these means. The banks must lend money and expand bank credits to be canceled by ac cumulated future savings." Loan Not Subscribed "But though you have done so well here," said Mr. Vanderlip, "do not imagine the loan has been largely oversubscribed. It has not been sub scribed, and the time is growing short. The country is facing a seri ous situation and has not yet waked up to it. There are other loans com ing. Twelve billion dollars will be needed, I nm told, before- the close of the year." Congressman Rurke also dwelt nt length upon the excellence of the bonds an investment and. the ne ccssit" or patriotic people to sup port ♦ ' • Issue. "Muy a bond now, and Ret Interest on the investment; or, pav the money later in the form of indemnity and sret o tax receipt," is the way he put it.
