10 BELGIAN MISSION IS WELCOMED ON | FLOOR OF HOUSE 'Envoy of War Ravaged Coun- j try Sees Victory With U. S. Aid By Associated Press Washington, June 27. —The Bel gian mission, headed by Baron Mon rheur, was received to-day in the House. Galleries were crowded with n enthusiastic audience and the floor was filled with members who save an enthusiastic reception. After being introduced to the House, Baron Moncheur spoke in part as follows: "If years ago I admired your coun try in the fullness of prosperity and wondered at your industrial genius and the marvelous activity of your citizens: it is with even greater ad miration that I now see your entire nation rise a one man to answer; the voice of your President calling I upon you to put forth all your efforts j and devotion for the defense of free- , dom and the rights of mankind. All i the sons of America, without distinc- | tion of race or of party have rallied! to your flag. They think only of their duty to their country. They are ever ready to sacrifice their private and j personal Interests and leaving behind them their dear ones who will be plunged in srief and tears on account of their absence, they rallied to the j Star Spangled Banner which for the | first time in your history has crossed j the ocean to float over the battlefields of the old world. "As in the middle ages the knights -tt'ere accustomed to hold a vigil,! watching their armor in the chapel. j so you to-day are making the same holy and prayerful preparation for the battle to come. Everywhere you ! are carrying on work which day by j day brings nearer the moment of [ supreme victory. While the flower of American youth is preparing itself in your splendid training camps your • shipyards, your factories and your i munition plants resound with the hum of feverish work providing youri soldiers with the implements of war." Steven's Objection to "Junk", Halts Purchase of Pennypacker Relics The Sproul Senate bill, appropriat ing $15,000 for the purchase of the collection of relics of the late ex- Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker j was defeated in the House to-day, j after Mr. Stern, o£ Philadelphia, had objected, saying that he did not; think it ■vise to buy what he termed ! "a lot of junk." Mr. Stern's objection to the bill 1 drew a question from Mr. Chesnut, i Fulton, as to why he opposed tho i bill. "I am opposed to buying a lot ' of junk with state money. The com- ] m.nweatlth yesterday refused to vote money for good roads in sub- . urnan Philadelphia and I want to 1 say that it was promised that this bill would not come out of commit tee." was Stern's reply. "That's just It. The gentleman's ; bill was defeated yesterday. I j thought so," chirped the man from i Fulton. Mr. Haldeman, Montgomery, spon sor for a similar bill, asked that it i be defeated.

Folly to Let a Man Drink, Says Druggist Brown of Cleveland, Who Gives a Home Remedy A New Treatment Given Without the Consent or Knowledge of the Drinker Cleveland, O. A woman who lets t man drink is foolish, says Druggist Brown, for no man who drinks even a little bit is saft. A woman can break the drink habit in a few weeks for half what a man spends on liquor In the same time, and the drinker need never know she did it. For the sake and safety of both, stop the drink habit in its beginning. I-et the first whiff of liquor on his breath be your danger signal, but even if he is rum-soaked through and through, do not despair; he can be saved and it is your duty to save him. Druggist Brown knows the awful curse of strong drink because he himself has been a victim. A loving sister res cued him from the brink of a drunk ard's grave and kept her secret ten years, then she told him how she did It. She saved him from the demon drink, rescued him from his own de praved self by means of a secret rem edy, the formula of an old German chemist. To save other families from the curse of drink and to help other victims out of the murk and mire he now makes the formula public. Any druggist can help you If you long to save a loved one. Just ask your drug fiat for prepared Tescum powders and drop a powder twice a day in tea, cof fee. milk or any other drink. Liquor loon ceases to taste the same, the craving for it vanishes and 10, one WEDNESDAY EVENING, BABmSBUEO TELEGRAPH JUNE 27, ,1917.

The photograph here taken shows the barrel on Fifth avenue at Eleventh street, near the First Presbyterian church, an historic old structure built in 1845, when the subscriptions amounted to $11,000,000. The next | day the barrel was moved to Thirty i filth street, and it has been going j north toward One Hundredth street ' rapidly. more drunkard is saved without knowing why he lost the taste for strong 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 tUe form of liquor or used tobacco of any kind. He seems already like a dif ferent man. Tea cum hat" gained a wonderful enthusiast in me. 1 regard It as a Oodsend. Just think. I have never seen my 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 find it one of the greatest cures in this world. He hasn t taken a drink for almost five weeks and saya he never will. My home does not seem like the same piactj 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 Prepared tescum, referred to above, should not be given except where It is desirable to destroy all taste for alcoholic drinks. Women who approve of moderate drinking and believe moderate drinkers safe should give tescum only when they see, as most do in time, that the dan ?:er line Is plainly near. Since thia ormula has been published J. Nelson Clark and other druggists have filled It repeatedly.—Advertisement.

Wai snares asserted their recent prominence, many of the more popular equipments rising a point or more with U. S. Steel. Motors and oils also rallied from their depression of the previous ses sion and coppers an< shippings were more steady. Later railway shares, especially coalers, became increas j ingly active at higher levels, Read j irtj gaining a point and Pittsburgh | coal two points. United States Steel became the I dominant issue of the forenoon on its rise of 2 % points to 132%. Simi -1 vaces of 1% to. 2% points and cop pers, shippings and petroleums de ; veloped greater strength. Inquiry i for rails was light with consequent .reactions in that quarter.

PESTS DESTROY YOUNG CLOVER Farm Agent Shows How Cul tural Methods Will Destroy Them Repeated complaints have been made to H. G. Niesley, county farm agent, concerning the loss of young clover due to peculiar pests. In the weekly bulletin from the agency it is pointed out while there is no way to kill the insects, culture methods will eventually destroy them. The re port follows: "The attention has been brought to the farm agent of Dauphin county to number of times s'nee actual worK began in the county relative to the peculiar escape of the new clover. Escape of this plant is due to one of the two insects which are here ex plained. Probably most of the dying out of clover after the second year is commonly thought to be the result of winter killing is in reality due to the activity of the clover root borer. Plants are either killed outright by the insects themselves or are so weak ened that they cannot withstand the winter. "The adult beetles lay their eggs in rather shallow grooves which are eaten out of the crown oq along the sides of the tap root of the plant. In a few days the eggs hatch and the young grubs eat their way Into the root and proceed to tunnel up and down through the root system. "There is no direct way to kill the insects. Culture methods must Tie relied upon to destroy them. Badly infested fields should be plowed up just as soon as the hay crop has been removed. This dries out the roots of the clover plant and the young grubs starve. In infested localities clover fields should not be allowed to stand more than two years. A system of rotation In which the crop is mowed for hay the first year and pastured and broken up the second year should control this pest. "Another common insect which oc casionally causes some loss in this county is the clover leaf weevil. Both the parent weevil and the grub feed on the foliage of most clover, eating out large holes in the leaves. "The insects pass the winter as partly-grown grubs hidden in rubbish around the clover field or just under the soil. In the spring they feed on the foliage. Most of the feeding is done in the night. During the day the grubs Jie curled up at the base of the plant or sometimes remain curled around the stalk. "Usually these insects are not abun dant enough to cause very serious in jury to the plant. However, If dam age is anticipated. It is advisable to pasture the clover or to clip it back in the spring. This has a tendency to check the grubs. "In case of serious Infestation It Is sometimes advisable to cut and re move the clover and then go over tne field with a roller or a brush drag of some sort. A satisfactory brush diag is easily made at home. In this way large numbers of the grubs may be killed. In very severe cases t may be well to spray the clover field with arsenate of lead—about four pounds of the paste to fifty gallons of water. "It is obvious, of course, that under these conditions the clover should not be used as feed for stock and that horses, cows or other animals should not be allowed to graze on or have access to the sprayed fields." Curtin Memorial Bill Passed Finally by House The Camp Curtin Memorial bill, presented in the Senate by Senator Beidleman last spring, was passed finally in the House to-day and will be in the Governor's hands by to night.* The bill was generally fa vored in the House and has the hearty interest of the Governor, who last winter and spring remarked upon the great historic significance of the spot and suggested some marking of it before it was all built up. The bill carries $25,000, and pro vision is made for a commission to be named by the Governor. NONPARTISAN REPEALER DIES The second-class city nonpartisan law repealer is dead. It is in the Senate and will not b& called up. It is said the Governor will veto it if passed.

Senate Directs Probe at Trade Commission Because of Paper Trust By Associated Press Washington. June 27.

"The sons is patriotic in both lyrics and music," said the author to-day, "and was not written for profit but as a contribution to the cause, which is why I have placed it on sale at the music stores for only ten cents a copy.
