Wife to Blame if Husband Drinks,
Says Druggist Brown, of Cleveland,
Who Tells Wife What To Do
A New Treatment Given Without the
Consent or Knowledge of the I>rlnker.
Cleveland, O.—No wife has a right
to blame her husband because he
drinks, 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
says 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 byia
loving sister who, after ten years'
time, revealed the secret to him. She
paved 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 and mire he has
made the formula public. Any drug
gist can put it in the hands of any
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
not taste the same, the craving for it

WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRTBBURG frfl3BV TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 5/1917.
MISSION WILL
RAISE $15,000
Large Home Needed by Beth
esda; Doing Great Work
For Young Men
The board of directors of the
Bethesda Mission held a meeting last
evening and decided to launch an
extensive campaign, beginning next
week, for $15,000. This money is
needed by tho mission to build a
larger home. The board of directors
composed of John Fulton, president;
Harvey Buck, Philip Reed, H. L.
Carl, John Degray, A. Ramsey S.
Black, Charles S. Meek, John C.
McFadden, A. C. Wean, Dr. Frank
D. Kilgore and E. F. Weaver, has
appointed more than one hundred
men who will participate in the can
vass of the city and who expect to
collect the amount needed In less
than ten days.
This mission was first started less
than two years ago in a little room
City Rescue Mission. Later it was
put in charge of John Fulton and
the name was changed to the
Bethesda Mission.
The register shows that during
June 857 men were lodged and given
help In other ways. Many of these
men are now working In the fac
tories in or near the city, while
others have enlisted in the army.
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 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 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. You take no risk with Tescum
as it is sold in this city under a
money-refund guarantee
by J. Nelson Clark and other first
class druggists. They guarantee it to
do the work or refund the money.

JOHNSON NAMED
AS FIRST DEPUTY
Snyder Appoints Well-Known
Montgomery County Leader
as His Right Bower
jft
CHARLES jpHNSON
Charles Johnson, for years Re
publican leader of Montgomery
county, former resident clerk of the
House and Insurance Commissioner
from 1911 to 1916, was last night
announced by Auditor General
Charles A. Snyder as his first deputy
auditor general. Mr. Johnson will
assume office at once.
Mr. Johnson has been mentioned
for places in the State Treasury and
Auditor General's department and
last night Mr. Snyder, who had been
in Pottsville all day in a court case,
telephoned to the Capitol that he
had appointed Mr. Johnson. The
new first deputy, who will be paid
$5,000 a year, takes a place made
vacant since O. H. Graf, first deputy
for sixty days under A. W. Powell,
resigned. Graf retired when Powell's
term ended.
The new commissioAer is well
knojvn here. He was sheriff of Mont
gomery county, delegate to many
conventions, member of the State
committee, resident clerk from 1901
to 1911 and Insurance Commissioner
for five years. He is now treasurer
of the Republican state committee.
The appointment coming so soon
after announcement of appointment
of Insurance Commissioner J. Denny
O'Neil to be Highway Commissioner
and Charles A. Ambler to be Insur
ance Commissioner gave much to
talk about on Capitol Hill.
•O'Neil States Policy
Commissioner O'Neil made his first I
statement at Pittsburgh late yester.
day and declared that he did not
propose to make his department a
political machine, adding that he did
not propose to allow politicians to
dictate to him, either. Mr. O'Neil
enunciated his well-known idea that
the roads should be placed in first
class condition for any military move
ments, considering that this was the
most important work that he could
undertake.
In the course of his statement he
said: "The road department will not
be operated as a political machine
and will not be dominated by poli
ticians. Efficiency., honesty and serv
ice will be the sole test of merit and
no employe will be removed who
measures up to the above standard,
but no employe will be retained who
is not efficient and who fails to ren
der a fair return to the state for
his salary, it will not make any dif
ference how great his political in
fluence is or who his backers are.
"I have no apology to make for
giving up my position as Insurance
Commissoiner. This office has been
reorganized and placed on a strictly
business basis.
"Attorney General Francis Shunk
Brown has agreed to take full charge
of the civil and criminal suits against
the parties responsible for the wreck
ing of the Pittsburgh Life and Trust
Company and I will be glad to give
as much of my time as may be nec
essary in assisting the prosecutions
of the suits."
Commissioner Ambler in a state
ment issued at Philadelphia said that
Jie did not propose to make any
changes in his department and would
continue the good work of Mr. O'Neil.
He said: "Mr. O'Neil conducted the
Insurance Department in a praise
worthy manner, and no part of his
administration could be criticised. I
intend to continue the good work of
insurance reform started by Mr.
O'Neil. I have not yet fully ac
quainted myself with all of the duties
of the office, but I will follow Just
one principle while I am at the head
of the Insurance Department. I will
try to make every insurance policy
issued in this state as safe for the
holder as it is possible to make it.
"Pennsylvania has good insurance
laws on its statute books. Some of
them were enacted last spring under
the direction of Mr. O'Neil. By
rigidly enforcing every one of them
I believe that a repetition of the
Union Casually Company scandal in
Pittsburgh last winter would be im
possible."
Want Last Murderer
Sentenced to Be Hanged
Imprisoned For Life
Application for commutation to life
imprisonment of the sentence of the
last man in Pennsylvania for whose
hanging a death warrant was issued
was tiled to-day at the office of the
f-tate Board of Pardons, which will
meet September 25.
The application was entered by a
firm of M&uch Chunk attorneys for
Martin who was convicted
of a murder In Carbon county almost
ten years ago and who broke jail, es
caping to western States, where he
was captured after having served sen
tences and escaped from prison. Un
der the electrocution act persons com
mitting crimes or convicted prior to
the approval of that law must be exe
cuted on the gallows. When Des
kowsky was returned this spring to
Pennsylvania a warrant was Issued for
his hanging in tHe Carbon county
prison on September 27, which will be
two days after the meeting of tlfe
board. Numerous letters have been re
ceived at the Capitol urging commuta
tion of the death sentence.
Application has also been filed for
commutation of the electrocution sen
tences of two Dauphin county mur
derers, Nickolo Kotur and James
Frazer.

ROTARIANSVIEW
WALTON FARMS
With Their Wives Inspect Big
Fruit and Vegetable
Tract
Members of the Harrisburg Ro
tary Club and their wives were guests
yesterday of Mr. and Mrs. Robert J.
Walton at his immense fruit and
vegetable farms Just east of Hum
melstown. The prtrty went to the
Walton home by automobiles and ar
rived there in time for an hour's
ride by daylight over Mr. Walton's
big estate. Dinner, the menu of
which was made up almost entirely
of corn and other vegetables and
fruit raised on the farms, was served
on the lawn and the first fall meet
ing of the club immediately followed.
After welcoming his guests Mr.
Walton in a brief address outlined
the extent of his farming enterprises,
which are among the largest in
Pennsylvania. He said:
"We've been asked so many times
what our acreage is that we thought
it would be interesting to our guests
to know what acreage we have
planted of the different vegetables,
fruits and grains.
"A number of our acres produce
two or more crops per year. We fol
low on about fifteen acres intensive
methods of production with such
crops as lettuce, radishes, spinach,
beets, onions and celery. You per
haps noticed 011 the Inspection trip
quite a few fields seeded with rye,
eowpeas, vetch and cowhorn turnips.
These are for soil improvement—-
plowing these crops down while
green and using lime to correct the
acidity of the soil caused by the
green manurial crops which we turn
in. ' You may also have noticed that
in our young orchard we plant corn
between the tree rows and winter
squash and pumpkins on the tree
rows, this requiring cultivation and
at the same time cultivating the
trees. After the last cultivation, tur
nips or some cover crop is sown in
this orchard for soil improvement.
"Our trip started at the home
farm, where we have 160 acres de
voted entirely to vegetables. In this
there are 11 acres under tne Skinner
system of irrigation. We then pro
ceeded to Nos. 1, 2 and 3 farms,
where there are 165 acres of fruit. In
this tract there are 453 acres; the
balance is devoted to general farm
ing with thp exception of 18 acres,
on which we grow our root crops for
winter. One farm of 262 acres, lying
three miles south, we did not visit on
this trip. On this farm we have 16
acres of orchards and about 12 acres
devoted to vegetables, the balance
general farming.
"Our equipment consists of farm
tractor with the disos and plows, 22
head of horses and mules, four auto
trucks and all the improved farming
machinery, sprayers, etc., that go
with an up-to-date farm.
"I give you the acreage devoted to
the several crops to let you know
where are grown many of the fruits
and vegetables sold in the Harris
burg markets:
"Orchards, 205 acres, consisting of
11,000 peach, 9,000 apples, 500 pear,
300 plum and 300 cherry trees.
"Berries, grapes—One acre straw
berries, 3 acres black raspberries,
currants and gooseberries and 2 acres
grapes.
"Vegetables—Twenty-six acres po
tatoes, 4 2 acres sweet corn, 3 acres
sweet potatoes, 18 acres cabbage, 16
acres peas, 2 4 acres beans, 8 acres
onions, 3 acres lima beans (4,000
poles), 6 acre beets, 6 acres tomatoes,
4 acres carrots, 4 acres parsnips, 1
acre peppers, 1 acre eggplants, 6
acres lettuce, 3 acres celery, 2 acres
endive, 4 acre spinach. 2 acres kale,
4 acres asparagus, 3 acres radishes,
2 acres rutabagas, 1 acre salsify,
half-acre chicory, 42 acres turnips,
3 acres cucumbers, 1 acre muskmel
ons, 1 acre watermelons and 6,000
hills pumpkins and squash in young
orchard.
"General farming Eighty-one
tacres'hay. 86 acres wheat, 13 acres
rye, 33 acres oats and 124 acres field
corn."
Plans for a field day at Paxtang,
for members only, and for an auto
mobile trip for the ladies of the club
were outlined by P. G. Diener, chair
man of the entertainment committee.
Announcement of a big gathering of
Rotarlans to be held in Harrisburg
about the middle of October, when
representatives of clubs from the
whole eastern district will be present,
was made. Plans for the coming
year will be outlined by the presi
dents and secretaries who will at
tend.
Aside from the Interesting address
of Mr. Walton, Farm Agent Neisley
made an address on the needs ot
farm improvements in Dauphin
county and the efforts of the farm
ers to increase crops and farm prod
uce in general.
The trip home by moonlight was a
pleasant feature.

Mrs. Clara E. Reed, aged 51, died
last evening at her home. 120 Charles
street. Funeral services will be held
Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. The

BIG FESTIVAL
The celefirntion at the Island last
night was one of the notable suc
cesses of the year. Thousands of
visitors partook of ice cream and
cake and listened meantime to a
splendid musical program by the
Eighth Regiment band. While it is
not known how successful the affair
was from a linancial standpoint, it is
certain that a large sum of money
was realized. The funds will be
added to the general mess fund of
the several companies represented at
the Island, including Company D.
The money will be used only for the
purchase of comforts not provided
for in the usual manner.
Five Thousand Present
The festival was held on the Har
risburg track field at the lower end
of the island. Electric lights made
the night almost as bright as day.
The crowd in attendance is esti
mated at 5,000 persons. Three hun
dred and seven large cakes were sold,
together with 125 gallons of ice
cream.
The Harrisburg Reserves gave a

Down by Big Majority
Washington, Sept. s.—The Senate's
closing contest over conscription ot
wealth to pay the expenses of the war
to-day took a new turn when high
tax advocates sought increases in the
war tax bill's profits rates. The final
vote on the war profits section, by
agreement, is to be taken before

The effort to-day was the result ot
the failure again yesterday of the

RUM PLANT HAS
NOTHING TO SAY
ABOUT FUTURE
Nothing to Say,"
Reiterates Official of the
Highspire Distillery
A representative of the Harrisburg
Telegraph held an important inter
view with oftlcials of the Highspire
Distillery Company, L.td„ this morn
ing (at least he thought it was going
to be Important), relative to the dis
position to be made of the plant when
that institution is no longer permit
ted to manufacture whisky, after Sat
urday, September 8.
The Highspire plant is one of the
largest and best equipped manufac
tories of its kind In the State, and the
reporter realized that anything im
parted in the way of information
would be eagerly seized by readers.
Many distilleries are closing out their
product as rapidly as possible, and
not a few plants will be razed of their
machinery, and equipment for the
manufacture of useful commodities
will be added.
NotlilnK to Sn>
"What do you expect to do with
your plant after > next Saturday?"
asked the reporter.
"We have nothing to say," was the
reply,
"Our readers are anxious to know
your plans, and we realize that you
will gladly impart the desired infor
mation," remarked the reporter.
"We have absolutely nothing to
say."
"You have a fine plant here. Folks
are wondering what you are going to
do with it after September 8," re
marked the reporter, in his very
nicest voice.
The reply to this lead really con
tains the gist of the information re
ceived. Here it is, all In one para
graph:
"We have nothing to say. Abso
h.tely nothing. Say to your readers
that we have absolutely nothing to
say. Good-by!"'
