Germans, Says Haig
Field Marshal Haig to-day
issued a statement congratu

AIRPLANES SAFER
By Associated Press
Washington, June 13.—Because of
airplane safety devices there were
only three fatalities in the army air
service between 1914 and Aoril 28,
1917, although the number of flyers
exposed to risk was much larger than
in the previous six years, when
twelve lost their lives, according to a

Wife to Blame if Husband Drinks,
Says Druggist Brown, of Cleveland,
Who Tells Wife What To Do
A Xtw Treatment Given Without the
Consent or Knowledge of the Drinker.
Cleveland. O.—No wife has a right
to blame her husband because he
Jrinks, says Druggist Brown, of Cleve
land. It is her fault if she lets him
drink and bring unhappiness and pov
erty to her home and she has no right
to complain. A woman can stop a
drinking husband in a few weeks for
half what he would spend on liquor,
so why waste sympathy on a wife who
refuses to do it. Druggist Brown also
say? the right time to stop the drink
habit is at its beginning unless you
want drink to deaden the fine sen
sibilities of the husband you love. Be
gin with the first whiff of liquor on his
breath, but do not despair if he has
gone from bad to worse until he is
rum-soaked through and through.
Druggist Brown knows the curse of
strong drink because he himself has
been a victim. He was rescued from
the brink of a drunkard's grave by a
loving sister who, after ten years'
time, revealed the secret to him. She
saved him from drink—rescued him
from his own depraved self, by giving
him a secret remedy, the formula of
an old German chemist. To discharge
his debt to her and to help other vic
tims out of the murk arid mire he has
made the formula public. Any drug
gist can put it in the hands of anv
suffering wife, mother, sister or
daughter. Just ask the druggist for
prepared Tescum powders and drop a
powder twice a day in tea, coffee, milk
or any other drink. Soon liquor does

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
U.S. TO SEND 100
FLYERS A MONTH
Training Begun For Company
to Leave For France in
September
Washington, June 13. The United
States Government has completed ten
tative plans to send 1,000 aviators a
month to France, and the first big
overseas force of airmen will be ready
to embark some time in September.
These men will have received pre
liminary training in technical schools
and on aviation fields before they
leave the United States, and. in fact,
the majority of those who will go
with the first contingent are now at
work on the rudiments of flying. On
arriving in France they will be given
a short period of intensive training
under French instructors, and will
then start for the battle front.
American manufacturers have prom
ised to supDly all the training planes
needed by this country and its allies
and thus make it possible for the
French and English to devote all of
their energies to the turning out of
the fast and powerful battle planes
which will be needed to end the ques
tion of the supremacy of the air. It
is not unlikely that some of the great
factories which in the past have been
used for the manufacture of automo
biles will be turned into airplane
plants.
This, in brief, is the situation to
day. Experts from England, France
and the United States are at work
with the one purpose in view, of a co
ordination of effort that will eliminate
Germany from the fighting in the air.
a step which will give America and
her allies an advantage which It is
believed in many quarters will go far
to shorten the duration of the war.
It is estimated also that nearly 500
of the young men who entered the
training camps for reserve officers will
bo available for service as aviators.
The army officers in charge of these
camps, it is said, have kept a careful
watch of the men to determine those
best fitted for the work.
The program of 1.000 aviators a
month is just double that which was
first taken under consideration by the
Aircraft Production Board, and has
been accepted in part as a result of
the data furnished to the Federal au
thorities by members of the visiting
French. English and Italian commis
sions.
TO ORGANIZE CHAPTERS
Two public meetings will be held
on Friday night at 8 o'clock, one at
Berrysburg and the other at Pil
low. for the organization of auxiliary
branches to the Harrisburg Chap
ter of the Red Cross. Arrangements
for the meetings are being made
by James E. Lentz. of the Dauphin
County Public Safety Committee.
Prominent speakers from the city
will make addresses at both meet
ings. At Berrysburg music will be
furnished by the Berrysburg Band,
and at Pillow by the Pillow Band.
APPROVE VIEW
The grand jury to-day approved

nisco creek and over Manada creek.
The bridges will be rebuilt by the
county.
not taste the same, the craving for it
disappears and 10. one more drinker
is saved and knows not when or why
he lost the taste for drink.
One woman who used this prescrip
tion on her husband says: "It is going
on the fourth week since he has
touched a drop of anything in the
form of liquor or used tobacco of any
kind. He seems already like a dif
ferent man. Tescum has gained a
wonderful enthusiast in me. I regard
it as a Godsend. Just think, I have
never seen ir.y husband sober for
more than 48 hours in years and now
it is going on one month since he had
his last drink."
Another one gratefully writes: "I
have used tescum powders on my hus
band and And it one of the greatest
cures in this world. He hasn't taken
a drink for almost five weeks and says
he never will. My home does not
seem like the same place and life
seems worth living. I hope thousands
gain what I have. This has been a
good new year for me without drink
in my home."
NOTE—Tescum, referred to above,
should be used only when it is desir
able to destroy all taste for alcoholic
drinks of every kind. The wife who
approves of drinking in moderation
and believes her husband safe should
give it only when she sees, as most
do in time, that the danger line is
near. Since this formula has been
made public J. Nelson Clark and other
druggists have filled it repeatedly.—

I When this is done they will be able
,to start the greatest movement of

But before this can be done, every
man in the United States interested
in Russian trade must know about
Russia and the great difference be
tween Socialism and anarchism. Rus

anarchist movement.
"After peace is concluded, people
will begin to build up the countries
of Europe and in Russia, which is
not as much developed commercially
as other countries, the upbuilding
will be especially strong. Russian
trade was increasing before the war,
and Russia could not get materials
in other markets like she could in
the United States, especially ma
chinery and textiles. But she must
have this material because of the
development of natural resources.
With this material coming in, it will
be similar to the industrial develop
ment here after the Civil War, and
i this because foreign capital partici
pated. P.ussia has the people to work
enormous natural resources, and for

WHARTON PUPILS
REAP REWARD OF
THEIR LABORS
Class Of 53 Graduated Speak
ers Make Addresses on
War Topics
As a result of three years of study
after working hours and attendance
at classes four nights of each week,
fifty-three young men pf Harrisburg
and vicinity were last evening award
ed diplomas as full-fledged gradu
ates of the University of Pennsylvania
at the first commencement exercises
of the Wharton School in Harris
burg, the Wharton school being the
commercial department of the uni
versity.
Dean William McClellan and Vice-
Provost Josiah Penman last evening
addressed the class. Dean McClel-l
lan is a member of the National De- j
fense Council, and spoke mainly j
of the present war and its present I
and future influence on the young;
men of the nation.
He congratulated the graduates,'
on their efforts through three long!
' ears of study gained between work
ing hours. He reminded them that
they are graduates of the University
of Pennsylvania with all that means;
not merely as having finished three
years of study as members of an ex
tension school, but heir to all the
honor and tradition the old Univer
sity of Pennsylvania confers upon
those who yearly receive her de
grees.
Dean McClellan spoke of the time
when the present war would be end
ed and the master minds of the bat
tlefield would be needed in the cab
inets of the nations. Men of educa
tion and experience, such as those
whom he was addressing, he said. |
would be in demand for the great
period of international reconstruc- j
tion which inevitably must follow the j
present world conflict.
"As for three years, four nights a j
week at least, you have prepared
yourself for the present, so continue I
to study that when emergencies con
front you. you wil be able and ready |
to meet them as you have met your;
daily difficulties in these past years
of hard work," Dean McClellan urg- ;
ed upon the graduates as one of the !
means of preparing for the future of
which he spoke. "Not only young
men but men of maturer age and
judgment such as many of you are
will be needed," he said.
Viee-Provost Penman, in awarding 1
the certificates, likewise congratu
; lated the young men who finished
; the course, reminding them that they
' are marked men in the community.

"meat." A satisfying break
fast on which to start the
day's work. It is ready
