2 CARRY YOUR BUNDLES HOME Red Cross Enters Campaign to Effect Big Sav ing The Red Cross Society has started a campaign Jn which it is anxious to have every person in Harrisburg participate. It is an appeal to the people to carry home their bundles. If the Red Cross can reduce the cost of delivery to the merchants in the city, the merchants in Harrisburg tan cut down on their prices a great deal. In this way the stores and the Ked Cross can co-operate In reducing the high cost of living. All of the women of the Red Cross l ave pledged their support and will carry their packages home. The campaign is being called the parcel campaign. A committee of young women have been named which will sell the neat little placard which the local Red Cross has had printed. The pen sketch on it was made by James Mites, deputy register of wills. The slogan is the one suggested by Miss Kleanor Shunt. The stores are ex j ected to buy them at ten cents each when the young women call on Mon day. The auxiliaries in other towns will help. The chairman of the cam paign is Mrs. J. A. Plank, 316 Hriggs street. To Visit Merchants Monday morning four motor mes sengers and four of the committee Mill visit all of the retail merchants in t.he First ward. The next visit will be made to the merchants in the heart of the city, the Third, goes to the Hill, and the fourth visit will be made to the retail stores uptown. Those on the committee are: Miss Susanne Westbrook, Mrs. V. Lome Hummel, Mrs. William Laubenstein, Mrs. I-ee R. Laubenstein, Miss Dora W. Coe, Miss Mildred Astrlch, Miss Helen Gurnett, Miss Martha Fletch er and Miss Helen Scott. YOU'RE BILIOUS!

If you have a good appetite, en joy your meals and have good di gestion, if you sleep well and are able to work with vigor and vim, you enjoy life and those about you like to be near you, because you radi ate happiness. The secret is, plenty of pood, rich blood coursing through your veins, real red blood. The blood is the river of life. , If >taur blood is thin or sluggish, poisons are formed and your health is below normal and you easily fall a victim to disease. To have good blood, you must have good digestion, or in other words your stomach must be acting right.

THE TRUTH ABOUT GERMANY By MARIE BONINI BROWN Starvation Diet Makes Food the All-Im portant Topic in Berlin Substitutes For Everything Government Kitchens • C "I Kot a can of fruit week and we had my birthday a third would to the envy of the Americans may think this is exaggerated, but, until you have been on a slow starva- V*''h'' l for months, you realize what in / interest the sub- of food has for Kven since I have come home it seems Marie Brownto me food is one para mount object of im portance. During the last two years I lived in Berlin there was but one topic of interest among friends who met. It was not the war, nor its duration, nou who would get into it next, nor even who had been killed. It was "eats." "Did you hear that such and such is 'X erboten' now?" we would say. "I have learned to cook spinach a new way," another would contribute. The first tiling I did when I got to where I could get it, was to buy a |xun<i of candy aiul sit down to eat it. But I couldn't. My stomach sim ply would not recognize an article it had not known for so long. I sat down liefore white bread and plenty of butter, for which I had longed during weary months, and could not cat it. I had to learn to eat real food gradually, and even now my system has not recovered from the indigni ties it had to suffer in Germany. We had substitutes there for every thing. Substitutes were used for tea, coffee, sugar, milk, eggs, honey, pud ' % Scientific -' Ji gtv EYE jjjjjT est i it g Our modern equipment and skillful examinations in every 4etail, assure our patrons glasses especially adapted to their individual vision.

The substitute for milk was a powder which you .stirred in water. It looked as though chalk had been stirred in. Substitute for For eggs the substitute was a little yellow disc, about one-fourth of an inch in diameter and one-fourth of an inch thick. When put into food it gave a yellow color and thickened it a little as egg would do. The artificial honey was good, al though I have no idea of what it was made. The substitute 'for pudding was a substance which looked like glue. You stirred it into water and it became pink, and thick and pasty. It didn't taste bad, but you had to be hungry to eat it. There was no gelatine it) be had. We did have lots of barley, but barley without meat and with no salt soon gets tiresome. We had lots of onions, too. Every night, almost, I would eat a boiled onion on a piece of bread. It was nourishing, but, it, too, grew tire^>me. Since I have come home, barley, onions, spinach and lettuce are "off" my menus. I had enough of them on the other side. Of course we never got any cakes. The macaroons of which the Ger mans are so fond and which usually are so plentiful have become very scarce. You can buy them, but they are $2.50 a pound. They have a substitute for pepper there, but it is as good as nothing. I don't know what it is made of, but it doesn't flavor at all. Making Dumplings One thing we did make that I liked. Our bread cards entitled us to so much bread or Hour, whichever we wanted—we could not have both. Sometimes we got flour—black flour, of course, that is all there was. We would get an egg, and make a dough from th flour, water and egg. Then we would put a bit of meat and an onion in water and boll it. When it was boiling hot we would drop the dough in by spoonfuls and make dumplings. This dish was a great luxury, though, for it took our allow ance of meat, flour and egg all at once, but it certainly was good. Cheese was a rarity. Once in a long time we would IK- told that we could have a portion of cheese. I hove stood live hours in line waiting for mine. It would be less than one flfth of a pound when I got It, and often hard and stale, lint I did value it. for it was a little bit different from the eternal sameness of the tilings we usually had. When we got vegetables we rarely got them fresh—or fresh fruits. They always were evaporated, and very hard. We would soak them in water all night and cook them for over an hour, sometimes for two or three hours the next day. They never tasted like fresh vegetables or fruits They were rather insipid and tough. If we could have secured good quality of the things we did have to eat, it would not have been so bad But they were things that, ordinarily, \t home, we would have thrown out. How the very, very poor lived, I don't know. I heard that the gov ernment kept them. Government Kitcliet.s For the middle class, the people who were not beggars and yet who could not nfford lo pay the regular prices for food, the government en tablished a great kitchen in different parts of the city. I suppose the samo was done all over Germany. I am familiar only with what was done in Berlin. -In this kitchen were big kettles and Into these kettles were a collec tion of the poorer qualities of vege tables, the tops of garden truck, nnd all sorts of scraps. All tills was made into a stew and twice n day the people who could not afford to buy at the stores came here and paid ;to pfen nigs, about cents, for a liowl of tills. Their bread, meat and potato cards were taken away fron them, of course, so they neither could give them to other people or get things to eat on the side by means of them. I IF SHOW IS BAD MAKE ARRESTS IS ADVICE OF COURT Law Violators Should Not Be Warned, Judge Kunkel Tells Grana Jury Addressing the grand jury this Morning, Judge Kunkel said that It should have imestigated the quality of the burlesque shows of the city, and if they were as bad as charged, prosecutions should have been brought. The Judge said that in his 01 inion the way to stop Immoral exhibitions was to bring charges against the violators rather than in warning them of their delinquencies, enabling them to go to the very limit of the law without actually stepping over. The court's remarks were made in commending the jury for its denun ciation of all exhibitions "which pan der to lust and tend to break down the moral sense, honor and fiber of the community." The judge said that no law-breaker has any right to be warned and that proprietors of shows that go beyond the law ought to be prosecuted with out notification. Return of Petty Cases Judge Kunkel coincided with the grand jurors, who, in the quarterly report, criticised aldermen and jus tices for returning petty cases to court, but the Judge simultaneously cautioned the Jnrors that care must be exercised in making such criticism because the magistrates not always aj-e at fault. Somtimes, the court suggested, the aldermen have no alternative other than return a criminal' case to court because the parties involved refuse to agree to a settlement. Moreover, Judge Kunkel said thai disposition of a criminal case by the fcourt in variably has its influences to the ex tent of preventing crimes that are even more serious than the so-called petty cases. Judge Kunkel then cited an ex ample, saying in substance that a jury may improvidently laugh be cause one man causes the arrest of another for pulling his nose. But the man whose case receives such trettment and consideration may feel Inclined the next time he is attacked or wronged to take the law in his own hands because the jury laughed at him in the first case and by so doing commit an even greater crime. Work for Prisoners Employment of prisoners serving terms in jail is advocated in the re port of the grand jury filed In court this morning and the suggestion re ceived the approval of the court. Nevertheless, Judge Kunkel men tioned the fact that it is a lamentable fact that the Legislature didn't see fit to provide broader means than are contained in a recent act for the employment of prison labor. The grand jury commended the prison warden and the steward of i the almshouse, saying both insti tutions are sanitary and well man -1 aged, and recommended that the ' tuberculosis ward at the county home be renovated. In Its week's work the grand jury returned 131 bills of Indictment and ignored 29 bills. I. W. W. Leaders Unable to Furnish Heavy Bond By Associated Press Chicago, Sept. 29.—The nine leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World who were arrested in Chicago last night on indictments on charges of seditious conspiracy returned by a Federal grand jury against 166 mem bers of the organization throughout the United States were still in Jail to-day having been unable to fur nish bonds which were fixed at $lO,- 000 each, except in the case of Wil liam D. Haywood, international sec retary-treasurer, who was held in $25,000. "The propaganda of the defendants consists of assertions that 'we are going to take possession of the indus tries of this country, first because we want them; second, because we are in this crisis possessed of the power to put it over.' In addition, there is running through all these endeavors a pronounced opposition to the sup port of the war. LIBERTY BONDS SOAR By Associated Press New York. Sept, 29.

But, probably, If I had had nothing, I could have come to that. It was a nauseous mixture, but there were no "leavings" when those poor people got through with their bowls. And these were not the beg gars—these were the people who, in ordinary times, were i jnted the moderately well-to-do. A lot of the poor musicians and artists used to go there, for the war struck those people very hard. A great many of them had only enough money to see them through in peace times, and, when war came, they were In hard luck. We all used to divide with each other as much as we could, but the size of the portions the best-off of us received made dividing almost an Im possible thing. "Dutch Treats" Those who went to these kitchens sometimes took pieces of bread that had been given to them. Nothing was served at the kitchens but the stew. It was clean and well cooked enough, but that Is the best that could be said about It. One of the very scarce articles in Berlin was shoestrings. String of any kind was scarce, but one had to pay 50 cents a pair for shoestrings, even an ordinary quality. One thing the war did bring for ward —that was the equality of women as regards paying their way. When a young man took you Into a restaurant and you did not permit him to pay for your meal—you paid It yourself. You never knew just how near to his last JJTennlg your best was. In Germany, though, this method prevails somewhat even in peace times. Unless a man is a relative, a fiance or your husband. It Is best not to let him pay for your meal. The waiter may think you a "cocotte," a "light woman," If you do, and you need not be surprised if he (the waiter) will make some familiar re mark to you. But, during war times this "Dutch treat" business extended to every thing. Rome of the American women in Berlin had more money than the men who were not German, for they would send home for money, while the men would not.

Mr. Hopkins is authority for the statement that he will obtain the very best talent available, and that women as well as men are wel come to all performances at the Or pheum. Mayor Bowman's letter to the Ministerial Association follows: Harrisburg Ministerial Association: Reverend Sirs—l acknowledge re ceipt of your recent communication, in which was embodied a minute passed by your association under date of September 2 4 with respect to certain amusement exhibitions of an alleged moral character being given in this city. As Mayor of Harrisburg, I appre ciate the interest manifested by you in the city's affairs as evidenced by that communication, and wish to say that, although my term of office is very short, I propose to do all within my power to see that there are no violations of the law taking place without proper action being taken. With that desire in mind, and in order to obtain a full and impartial report, I requested a number of citi zens, actively interested in the affairs of Harrisburg, to attend two per formances of an advertised burlesque show at the Orpheum Theater Thurs day afternoon and evening of this week. That committee met the fol lowing Friday morning and, after a full discussion of the performances from every angle, they submitted the following: "We visited the burlesque show given by the 'Follies of Pleasure Company, entitled 'Up and Down Broadway,' at the Orpheum Theater on Thursday, September 27, 1917, and found nothing in the exhibition of an indecent or Immoral char acter." For your information, and the pub lic grenwally, attention is called to the act of Assembly of June 27, 1913, under which third class cities op erate, and in which are defined the corporate powers thereof, and from which is quoted the following "2 5. To license, and collect a license tax, from all skating rinks, operas, theaters, concerts, shows, cir cuses, menageries, and all kind of public exhibitions for pay (except those for religious, educational or charitable purposes); to regulate the same, and to restrain all exhibitions of an indecent or immoral char acter." In view of the report of that com mittee, I am of the opinion that in the performances referred to there has been no violation of law calling for official action. However, should future performances of a like char acter prove to be of an immoral or indecent character, and in violation of the law, X stand ready to take such action as may be necessary to free the community from performances that are destructive to public morals.

A. has arranged to have Classes in French taught at the build ing for members of the Signal Corps and metn who expect to be called In the selective draft, also men who an ticipate going to France In any ca pacity. There will be two classes, one of which will be taught in the after noons and the other in the evenings. The afternoon classes will be taught on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 5 o'clock. The teacher for this class will be Emlle Bonnechaux, who is a native Frenchman and who serv ed in the French Army during the first year of the war. Later he was taken from the Army and was sent to America as an inspector for the French Government. At present he is stationed at the Steelton plant of the Bethlehem steel works. The evening classes will be taught Monday and Thursday evenings at 8 o'clock, in the assembly room of the Y. M. C. A. by Professor William D. Meikle, who is the teacher of French at Central high school. Both of the teachers are giving their services and time free of charge. There will be no fee or tuition charg ed for those who wish to take up the course, but regular attendance is ln- Histed upon.

The School Board spends approximately $600,000 a year, employs more than 400 people, operates 30 or more large buildings, and yet it has never had and has not now any official charged with the responsibility of managing this large business. Of course we don't get the results we | should. I have not seen the report! for sometime, but as I recall there are two respects in which its recom mendations could be made effective easily and promptly to the great gain of the district. That is to say, the present committee system, with all of its absurdities,, could easily be abolished, and also a business man ager or superintendent could be em ployed to take charge of the busi ness administration of the Board's functions. These two reforms are basic—others would naturally fol low from them. Such a business mangaer or superintendent, as in the case of any corporation having an annual turn.over of $600,000 and with 400 people on Its payroll, should be a man of fine technical and busi ness training, a man of business ex perience and one who has made good in some other job. Some months ago Mr. Enders, of the Board, introduced a resolution providing for the em ployment of a business manager or superintendent; but while the mat ter was under consideration. The | proposition of the Chamber of I Commerce to make a survey came along, and the matter was allowed to rest until the Survey should be made, with the thought, I think, that with expert advice (that yord 'ex pert' hurts the feeling of some of my friends, but nevertheless I advis edly and fearlessly use it) the mat ter could be proceeded with more intelligently, effectively and econo mically. The report in its entirely is well worth the careful reading of any citizen'interested in the welfare of the schools. I think the Cham ber of Commerce is to be con gratulated upon Its wisdom and ge-v erosity in having this survey made, and I hope that before long it may be possible to have a like survey made of the teaching branch of the Board's activities " jg New HOW tO Gd It Present or mail to this For th Mrm Nominal Cott ef paper one like the above Manafactw*. *J DMat*m ( with ninety-eight cents to 1 Coupon AO !

Bonds Get Booßt I-lberty bonds yesterday moved to a higher premium. And this increas ing premium on the Liberty 3%'s au gurs well for the second war loan of $3,000,000,000 and upward, ac cording to the total of subscriptions, which will be placed between Mon day and October 27. The second Liberty Loan will be more valuable than the first to people of small In comes, because the bonds bear 4 per cent. The people of Dauphin county be yond doubt will take the second war loan of the United States. The fact that the 3%'s, convertible into the new bonds at holders' option, now command a premium is an earnest. Tt makes a measure by the market of the value of our government bonds in the present estimation of the pub lic. Holders of the 3V4's can now sell at a small gain or exchange them for the new 4's. * Country Banks and Loan It looks as though the coming is sue will in large measure be up to country bankers—which includes all Pennsylvania banks, really, outside Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Secretary McAdoo emphasized the great values to be received by the farmers for this year's crops, the total being $17,000,000,000, or rather more than the entire amount to be raised by the government for its own needs and those of its allies up to June 30, 1918. Crops are worth $2,000,000,000 more than they were last year; and these $2,000,000,000 form the basis of Liberty Loan in vestment possibilities among the farmers, under the auspices of the country banks.
