Dr. Dixon Talks <
on Mixed Diets
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, state com
missioner of health, says that hys
teria should not play a part in fix
ing diet or rations in these times of
stress. The people of to-day require
a mixed diet. They can not subsist
on one thing and get the same re
sults that they have been getting or
meet the high tension demands of
the present day, argues Dr. Dixon
and it is essential to use common
sense In making up a food ration.
"From our actual experience in
life, after long devotion to the feed
ing of people, we have learned that
a mixed- diet Is essential to good
health. The practical experience of
the individual must be a factor in
guiding him in the selection of foods
and the quantity he can eat," savs
Dr. Dixon.

HARRISBURG <£s!& TELEGRAPH
VETOES BIRTH
CONTROL BILL
Governor Brands Stern Meas
ure as "Most Reactionary
Attempted"
The Stern House bill forbidding
dissemination of knowledge or in
formation relative to birth control
was vetoed to-day by Governor
Brumbaugh in a lengthy message, In
which he declared that should It be
approved it would be "more honored
in Its breach than in Its observ
ance."
The Governor say 3 existing laws
"judiciously concern themselves with
this matter. This bill does not. It
lb by far the most drastic bill in re
gard to birth control In this country.
It is by like token one of the most
reactionary attempted In years."
In the course of his message the
Governor says: "The popular mind
is filled —If I may judge this mind
from many telegrams and letters be
fore me—with all sorts of miscon
ceptions concerning the provisions
of this bill, it is not a bill to regu
late the size of families, but an at
tempt to prevent any one from doing
anything "to interfere with or dimin
ish the birth of human beings in
this Commonwealth." Just how any
one could diminish birth is not mad'i
-manifest. The language is viciously
vague and indefinite in the extreme.
This bill miglu be construed to pun
ish those that oppose the marriage
of the insane or the feeble-minded.
Indeed, the Commonwealth's own
acts In segregating these unfortu.
nates in institutions like Baurelton
would come under the penalties of
this bill. It Is In other words, coun
ter to the whole current of modern
social endeavor, and as has been
pointed out. could be made a con
venient club for the blackmailer. It
would deny a physician the duty In
defined cases, of advising his pa
tient. It would seal the lips of moth
ers and fathers in counselling their
children. It Is an attempt to do by
legislation what must be done by
education."

for the erection, or renting of a
large building in the central section |

nests, whose membership has already
outgrqwn the limits imposed by the
present quarters. It is expected' that
fully 2,000 will be enrolled in Har
risburg before all charters are closed.
Elimination of "booze" and side
board privileges in all local nests has
given the order a decided increase
in its membership. No charters are
issued unless members agree on the
prohibition of bar or sideboard at
lodge meetings or In the home.

President Willard, of Defense
Council, Says Railroads Re
sponded Nobly to Need
"Washington, July 16.—"The es
sence of the railroad situation," said
President Willard, chairman of the
committee on transporttalon of the
Council of National Defense, In an
Interview yesterday, "Is that the rail
roads of the whole United States are
nationalized. The 693 railroad com
panies operating in forty-eight states
and controlling "03,000 miles of
road, are responding admirably to
central direction from' the so-called
railroad war boards of railway pres
idents.
President Willard explained that
last summer the railroads worked
out with Colonel Baker, of the quar
termasters' corps of thea rmy, a
complete scheme for wartime rail
road operations and that this
scheme, since elaborated and per
fected, lias worked so well that
"during the last two months the rail
roads of the country, though hand
ling vastly more ton miles than ever
before, have been constantly trans
porting troops in considerable num
bers without the least interrupting
regular traffic."
Heavy Traffic Breaks Record
The regular, traffic has been larger
probably than in any previous period
in the history of the country. "Traf
fic was heavy bofore the United
States entered the war," he said, "be
cause of the necessity of moving tre
mendous quantities of supplies, ma
terial and finished products for the
allies, but since April 6 it has In
creased tremendously.

to be the department's belief that the
guard, after a comparatively brief
stay in the training camp at Augusta,
Ga., will be ready for field service.
The only word officially spoken on
this subject was the statement made
some time ago that It was hop'd to
have the National Guard in France
before snow flies. Up to Jthl time
there has been no development that
would cause any delay in the plans
that were then contemplated, so that
it can be assumed that the hope thus
expressed still Jiolds good. It Is stat
ed that the training camp at Augusta
will be ready to receive the Pennsyl
vania division by August 1. If the
men reach there by the first of Au
gust and can begin their course of
training immediately, It is the opinion
of experts In military affairs that they
will be ready for field service within
three months at the latest and pos
sibly before that. This is especially
'rue in view of the fact that at least
naif of the National Guard of the
country will be composed of men who
have SPII service and # who are season
ed veterans as compared with raw re
cruits.
It is believed that no later than No
vember 1 the National Guard will be
in condition to take its place upon
the firing line. This would (five two
months in which to fill the vacancies
in the guard organizations from the
conscripted army and train the new
men. since the draft army is to he
called into training quarters on Sep
tember 1. For obvious reasons in the
interest of safety there will be no pre
liminary announcement as to the date
when the National Guard is to be sent
abroad, but it is considered very like
ly that it will be on its way by the
time snow flies.
So far as possible it is to be the
policy of the War Department to pre
serve territorial units in the National
Guard as In the national army. This
being the ease, it is expected that the
Pennsylvania division will go abroad
as a division and will not be broken
up. It is not expected that the pres
ent organization of the National
Guard of the country can be preserv
ed precisely as It is. but so far as It
is possible the department will ob
serve the present divisional and bri
gade formations and keep them to
gether. /

FIGHTING FOR HAPPINESS
When you get into a frame of mind
that makes life seem one tiresome
duty after another, with no pleasure
in it; when ill health soems to take all
the joy out of life and you worry over
things that are really not worth worry
ing about, then your nervous system
is becoming exhausted and you are
approaching neurasthenia.
Your happiness is worth fighttnff for
and red blood is your best ally. It is
a hopeless task to try to restore your
health while your blood is deficient in
quantity or quality.
To build up the blood there is one
remedy that has been a household
word for a generation, Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. They tone
up the entire system, make the blood
lich and red, strengthen the nerves,
increase the appetite, put color in tho
cheeks and lips and drive away that
unnatural tired feeling.
The Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y., has published a
free book on nervous disorders that
contains a chapter on neurasthenia, in
which the symptoms are fully describ
ed and the correct treatment given.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
your own druggist or will be sent by
maU, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50
cents per box, six boxes for $2.50.

German Torpedo Supply
Weakens as Needs Grow
Washincton, July 18. The Ger
man torpedo supply 'is weakening,
according to a statement Issued by
the Navy League to-day, based on
the opinions of naval experts. The
Increasing frequency with which
press dispatches report merchant
ships as successfully dodging Ger
man torpedoes suggests to the tech
nically trained mind, it is stated,
that the German torpedo is deterior
ating in speed and hence in accuracy
of fire at long range.
At the outset the Germans were
extremely careful to conserve their
torpedoes, It is said. Merchant ships
were sunk by bunflre wherever pos
sible. But the arming of merchant
ships and the constant Improvement
in the Allies' system of defence
against submarine attack have driven
the submarines under water, and
they are now forced to use torpedoes
in almost every attack. The Increase
in the number of submarines has fur
ther added to the strain upon the
German stock or torpedoes.
