PARK PLANTING
Department Making Extens
ive Improvement at Pump
ing Station Plaza
Excellent weather condition* tic,
fail planting lias given the City Park
Department opportunity to make;
much progress in the extensive work I
planned in the treatment of River;
front Park. During the last few.
weeks a number of workmen have I
been kept busy planting trees and j
making other big Improvements
along the entire length of the pack)
from Division street to Iron alley.
At present from Walnut north to
Boas streets elm trees are being I
planted along the curb and black and 1
pin oaks are being scattered through I
the strip of parkway. Birches which |
ha\e. died out also are being re
placed along the outside of the path.
Probably the biggest ImiwovemeiU j
which Is now under way. is at the ,-itv
pumping station and the approacn
<o the plaza overlooking the "front,
Mops." i>n the north side the gr.i le
of the path has been increased to
give better drainage. It has hull I
< overed with a heavy top of cinder
which will be roilel after which a
coating of tine crushed stone will;
be added. On the inside of the path
a gutter of sod. six feet wide, has
been constructed to carry off tho wa
ter in a heavy rain, preventing any,
wash on the path. On the other tide
of the path at the top of the em-,
bankment 150 barberry bushes will
be planted.
Many Trees Planted
The southern path also will be
changed and the walk from the plaza
to the top of the "front steps" is be
ing changed to prevent any wash of
fiirt from the embankment alon
which will be planted another ISO,
barberry bushes. For many weeks
these changes have been conteni-!
plated to improve the drainage con-,
ditions and beautify the grounds sur
rounding the pumping station.
North of the Hardscrabblr dis-|
trict to the city line all the dead and j
damaged elms have been replaced by 1
small trees taken from the city nurs-;
erv.
In the park south of Paxton stroet.!
during the last few weeks ninety
trees have been planted, the Park!
Department using the following va
rieties from the nursery: Twenty- 1
two pin oaks, eight Norway maples,
forty-one birches, and nineteen elms.
In Harris Park six elms have been
planted; opposite the Harrisburg
Hospital five were placed and under j
the Mulberry street bridge, recently
completed. 350 kerria and 200 bar
berry shrubs have been planted.
North of Market street four big ;
elms were planted, one of theni be- 1
!ng dedicated to Lieutenant Henry
M. 'lross by Ned, John and Mary
Campbell, grandchildren of commis
sioner E. Z. Gross, superintendent of
the Park Department. Other trees'
planted in this section include three
birches, two black oaks and two
Oriental planes.
As long as weather conditions per
mit the planting will be continued
park officials stated to-day. It is
hoped to complete the entire pro-,
gram as planned before the weather!
interferes.

Out on Allison Hill *wo cain

I and repeatedly endeavored to get *he
[ resident to answer. Just as they
were about to drive away a cheeiv
j faced. pleasant appearing little
I woman bustled out and asked them
if they were Y. M. C. A. collectors.
She was told that they were.
"Well, come right in." said she.
] "I was next door when I saw the
i automobile come up and I ran all the
way over to answer your call. I've
. been waiting for you for two da v s
: I have the money all ready and here
it is. I have young men relatives r.t
Camp Hancock and they tell n>e
i there is nothing liketlie Y. M. C.

j you for coming."
The Widow's Mite
At a little house on a side street
• the collectors' call was answered by
an old lady, bent with years and ap
parently possessed of none too much
of this world's goods.
, "No, I'm not the woman you are
looking for." she said, "but if vou
• are collecting for the Y. M. C. A.
I'll like to give something. I don't
have much, but I have a grandson
at Hancock and I would like to put
in 25 cents, if you will take a sum
| so small."
She was told that a quarter dol
lar v.-as very acceptable and the
i mpaigners left with the story of
! the widow and her mite in mind.
I One of the most cheerful givers
the campaigners met in their early
1 rounds was the Rev. E. Luther Cun

I Church, who was given to the Red
I Cross and who lias subscribed to
1 both issues of Liberty Bonds.

Y.M.C.A.ENDORSED
BY SEC. BARER
War Chief Pleased With the
Work Done at Great
Training Camp
Washington. Nov, 13. —ln a recent
statement, Newton P. Baker. Secre
tary of War, tells why the Y. M. O. A.
is permitted In the camps of Amer
ica and Europe. His statement fol
lows!
"I have received a large number of
communications from various so
cieties and fraternal organizations
in all parts of the country, protest
ing against an allege discrimination
by the War Department In ..llowiiig
the Young Men's Christian Av>ocia
tion and the Knights of Columl cs ro
i ifct recreation huiidlngs inide tile
lines of the cantonments and Na
tional Guard training camps, .vniie
forbidding other societies the samo
privilege. These letters and pro;<.tSo
have become so numerou that I
have decided to make a publio state
ment to clear away the inlsunder
standlng which apparently exists-."
"Ever since the plans for the can
tonments and training camps were
tirst made the War Department has
been Hooded with requests from ail
sorts of organizations to erect spe
cial buildings inside the military
reservations. Various religious de
nominations, a large number of
lodges and fraternities, and many
athletic and recreational clubs have
petitioned us. each seeking to minis
ter exclusively to its own membership
inside the camps. To say nothing
of the confusion which the admis
sion of these various societies and
orders would involve, it would, of
course, be physically impossible,
from the standpoint of available
space, to allow all of them to erct
building's within the camps. It
seemed, therefore, a fair and reason
able solution of the problem to ad
mit the two organizations whielCliad
already been identified with recrea
tional work within military camps,
to wit, the Young Men's Christian
Association and the Knights of Co
lumbus. Both organizations served
the soldiers along social lines, on
the Mexican border last summer,
without regard to any question of
membership. On this condition,
therefore, that they would not limit
their activities to a particular con
stituency, and that their buildings
would at all times and for all meet
ings be open to the entire camp, they
were allowed admission to the mili
tary reservations.
"The Young Men's Christian As
sociation represents the Protestant
denominations, which will consti
tute roughly HO per cent, of our new
Army; the work of this organization
in all military camps both in Canada
and abroad is too well known to re
quire comment. The Knights of Co
lumbus represent the Catholic de
nomination, which will constitute,
perhaps. 3 5 per cent, of the new
Army. While this society is a fra
ternal organization, it will sustain
exactly the same relation to the
camps as is sustained by the Young
Men's Christian Association and will
hold no meetings to which all the
troops in the camps are not invited,
regardless of religious or other pref
erences. The Young Men's Hebrew
Association in its recreational work
has identilied itself with the Young
Men's Christian Association, and it
seems to me that this task of min
istering to the social needs of the
soldiers within the camps has been
met fully, and in a way which will
not needlessly complicate the ma
chinery of camp organization.
"It seems to me, moreover, that
the near by the camps,
where the soldiers will undoubtedly
.-pend much of such leisure time as
is allowed them, present a genuine
opportunity to those various socie
ties and organizations, which have
sought admission to the camps. Ex
perience has shown that the instinc
tive desire of a soldier with an hour
of free time is to "go to town."
if the town is only a crossroads.
For this season, therefore, the com
mission on training camp activities,
with mv approval and under my di
rection. has given a great deal of
time and thought to the task of or
ganizing these towns and cities along
recreational social lines. Local
committees have been appointed in
each such community, and the at
tempt has been made to harness lip
the lodges, churches, clubs, and oth
er local groups and organizations,
with the men in the camp. This,
it seems to me. is an opportunity for
service which can not wisely be over
looked. Each lodge, church, and fra
ternity can look out for the needs of
its own soldier membership, nnd
where local groups are unable finan
cially to provide adequately for this
task the larger organization of the
'•hurch or fraternity, as the case may
be. can come to the rescue with move
ample means.
"Indeed there is so large a task be
fore us in surrounding our troops
with a healthy environment, an-f the
emergency is so great that I trust
that all groups can co-operate in a
cordial spirit of loyalty and fellow
ship. regardless of any differences of
tace. creed, or affiliation."

RATS AND MICE
FORM WORST PEST
Disease Fatal to Man Carried
Throughout Country
by Rodents
Rats and mice are among the
worst animal pests in the world, ac
cording to biologists of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture.
Fro: i their home among tilth they
visit dwellings and storerooms to pol
lute and destroy human food.
The rat carries bubonic plague and
many other diseases fatal to man
and lias no ..oubt been responsible
for more untimely deaths among hu
man beings than all wars of history.
11l the I'nited States rats and mice
destroy each year in homes, in fac
tories, stores and warehouses, in rars
and on ships, drops, poultry, and
other property valued at more than
$200,000,000 —an amount equivalent
to the gross earnings of an army of
200,000 men.
Grain, eaten and wasted by rats
and mice on many farms, would pay
all the farmer's taxes.
Hats and mice breed from B to 10
times a year, producing their destruc
tive kind at an alarming rate.
They are parasites without a sin
gle redeeming characteristic.
Following are suggestions how
states, communities and individuals
can help eliminate rats and mice.
By requiring that all new buildings,
wharves, and other structures be rat
proof: that existing buildings of rat
proof construction be further pro
tected by having basement windows
and drains covered with screens,
gratings, etc., that existing build
ings that are not rat proof be made
so by remodeling,
By constructing sewers and drains
so that they will not provide entrance
and retreat for rats.
7>v insisting on greater cleanliness
about markets, stores, and generally
throughout cities, villages, and the
country districts.
By threshing and marketing grain
early so that stacks will, not furnish
harboring places and food for rats.
By removing piles of straw, trash
and lumber which haroor rats in
fields and vacant lots.
By protecting the hawks, owls and
other natural enemies of rats which
are not so destructive to poultry as
rats themselves.
By keeping well-trained rat dogs
on farms and about city warehouses.
By keeeping provisions which rats
and mice w-ill attack, 1n rat proof
and mouse proof containers.
By destroying rats and mice syste
matically by poisoning, trapping and
by organized systematic hunts.
By arousing public opinion to the
realization of the importance of ex
terminating rats and mice.

WHEN AMERICA STRIKES
CADETS DISPLAY
GREAT BRAVERY
[Continued from First Pago.]
tion. Early in the afternoon the
cadets realized that the cause was'
hopeless as no news had come of
the expected relief and their am
munition was nearly exhausted. j
Many of the cadets were parol led
after the surrender of the Winterj
Palace last week and feared to trust j
themselves again in the hands of
Bolsheviki. In taking the exchange
the cadets had captured M. Anty-.
noff. the assistant minister of war,
whom they held prisoner.
Panic soon seized the defenders, i
the officers in desperation cut the
buttons and insignia from their uni-j
forms, while others discarded their'
uniforms and attired themselves in'
the garments of linemen. Frantic
telephone calls were sent in every
direction asking for help. Finally
M. Antonoff and Mr. Williams were!
sent to parley with the Bolsheviki
who gave their word that the .Tien I
would be spared if they surrendered, i
The military cadets were led out one
by one and formally delivered to the!
victors.
The telephone operators became I
excited during the fighting but many]
remained at their <posts throughout i
the firing. Miss Beatty cheered and
encouraged the more timorous girls
and assisted in treating the wounds;
of the military cadets who had been i
shot by the Bolsheviki.
Desperate Sunday Fighting
Petrograd was still in the hands
of the Bolsheviki to-day after des
perate street battles on Sundav in
which a handful of brave military
cadets was killed or captured by
Bolsheviki forces after the cadet's
inflicted considerable losses.
Ihe new Bolsheviki government,
headed by Nikolai Lenine and Leon |
Trotsky is having anything but an 1
easy time in controlling the city as
the committee of public safety which (
includes all the elements opposing I
them, is seeking to establish a new'
Socialist government. They con- j
tinue to placard the streets with de
inands that the Bolsheviki "realize!
their folly and consent to lay down
their arms and await the coming of
Kerensky." .
Most of the ministers of the Ker-1
ensky cabinet who were captured'
after the eight-hour battle at thcl
Winter Palace Wednesday night!
have been released from the fortress |
of St. Peter and St. Paul. M I '
Terestclienko and A. T. Konovaloff
are still behind the prison walls as I
are the military cadets captured in 1
the battle at the telephone exchange!
on Sunday.
Agents of the committee on public j
safety have gone to Gatchina in an |
effort to effect a compromise with I
Premier Kerensky on an all-Social-i
ist government.
Reports Arc Conflicting
There are conflicting reports from i
Moscow and other large cities. The!
Bolsheviki report officially that 1
Moscow is still in their hands, al
though a telegram to the committee
of public safety on Sunday said that
the Kerensky adherents there had
driven the Bolsheviki into the Krem
lin, white they were besieged.
The scenes on the streets to-day
were similar to those of last Thurs
day when the people quietly trans
acted their business as though no
builtts had disturbed them.
At the corner of the grand Mors- j
kaia and the Gorkovai near the tele-!
phone exchange, during the long
battle on Sunday in which the 801-[
rheviki regained possession of the'
exchange from the military cadets, i
•nt inents of the fighting could be '
se.-li from the office of the Asso-1
ciated Press nearby. There were in-I
tcrmittent fusillades from rifles ind I
machine guns during the morning
and the afternoonastheßo eta >i
and the afternoon as the Bolsheviki.
stationed 100 yards down the Mors
kaia. made spasmodic sorties toward
the exchange. A curious crowd
peered around the corners, hugged
buildings and crouched in doorw;.\s
to eM'ape the bullets
An STiriored car manned by mili
tr.ry cadets and stationed in th
square around the cathedral St Isaac
Heared the streets there with a fusi-
Uv.e in reply to occasional firing
■ {* 01 -'' hev,ki infantrymen hid
,ng behind the marble columns in
front of the great cathedral. Some
tit-e l iter the fuel supply of the car
become exhausted and the car was
caj),:.rfd by Bolshevjki sailors wno
killed two of the occupants by tir.
Wf through the portholes. Thev
then Coke into the steel door and
dragged the third occupant, who
was wounded to the streets. He was
killed by the sailors while a crowd
of spectators within the hotel As
toria cried out in protest. The bod
ies lay in the street for half an hour
until hospital nurses and French
officers gained permission to remove
them.
Stop For Funeral
At one moment machine gun'bul
lets were whizzing through the
streets,,the next the firing ceased and
the people doffed their hats as a
funeral cortege with four white
horses drawing a white canopied
iieai se and black garbed mourners
following on foot, crossed the Mors
kaia directly in the line of fire.
Bullets spattered against the
facades of the buildings and one
military cadet fell in a crumpled
heap across the street from the As
sociated Press office. Another fell
with a shot through the head as be
was warning the onlookers to seek
sate shelters.
Boisheviki forces, reinforced by
sailors from the battleship Petro
pavlovsk and other warships and
from Htlxingfors, patrolled the city
to-day. The heaviest guard, backed
by artillery was stationed at the
telephone exchange to prevent a
surprise attempt at recapture.
Two other clashes between the
military cadets and the Bolsheviki
occurred Sunday at the Fontanka
bridge, where a military cadet lar
was captured and the inmates killed
and at Vladimirsky, the military
cadet school, which was bombarded
and captured only after a brave de
fense.
The military cadets, who corres
ponded to the West Point cadets in
America, are the only military forces
m 1 etrograd loyal to Premier Ker
ensky.

indifference of mankind to his
body has always been beyond
my comprehension." rertlarks the
Commissioner in opening a "health]
talk" in which he says that people I
should realize now when the nation
is demanding that each individual
| be of tjie greatest value so that the
country may win the war that value
I as a unit depends on the condition
! of the organic machinery within the
j body.
| Dr. Dixon says: "Man should be
i taught from childhood to be proud
|of his body. He should be taught
I early in life that it is the home of
| his brain and very soul. He should
i be taught how complicated it is and
I what great care is necessary to keep
; it in order, and that every time it
j is out of order it falls below its nor
| mal standard of accomplishment.
"The care of the body means the
j care of its outward parts, like the
| limbs, and of its internal organs,
] particularly those of digestion.
"Notwithstanding the fact that the
j body is the most valuable property
1 mankind possesses, there is nothing
I toward which the majority of men
j display more indifference. There
| seems to be a general idea that the
| body is indestructible. That is why
i we see so many poor, miserable spec
j imens of mankind within our midst.
If they realized what objects of pity
they really are, every effort would
be made to "spruce up" and prer.ent
the best possible appearance to their
fellow creatures.
"I have heard people say of
others: 'They are too proud to care
tor appearances." Yet these same
people would be apt to share our
common feeling of being proud of
I the appearance of our homes, of our
mechanical machinery, or of our ani
mals, particularly our horses.
"Many a man allows his children
to grow up without proper care or
attention for- their bodies, the tem
ple of all they have, while his driv
ing horse is kept in a state of perfec
tion so that it may not only be ad
mired, but also perform its duties
to the highest degree.
"A pet driving-horse has its body
kept clean, its bed and living condi
tions most carefully looked after,
and its food prepared with the great
est care. It" on one day it does not
get as much physical exercise as on
another, the food is reduced so that
its physical condition may be main
tained. If it gets over-warm while
traveling, it is at once covered with
a blanket to prevent taking cold.
"Let us give thought to what we
are doing and see that our bodies
and those of our children are at
least as well taken care of as those
of our animals, and that we value
them as highly as our other posses
si6ns. us at once learn to be
proud of our bodies and realize the
fact that they are complicated and
require the greatest care to keep
them in order.
"Just now our nation demands
that each individual be of the great
est value that we may win this war
upon which our liberty depends."

Final argument of the suit be

noise. Counsel on both sides to-day
cited interesting cases and opinions
in similar suits, submitting briefs to
the cqurt. An opinion will be given

HOW TO RELIEVE
HEAD NOISES
<>ooi> advice; koh thoms who
FEAR DHAI'XKSS
People who' are growing hard of
hearing and who experience a stuffy
feeling of pressure against their ear
drums, accompanied by buzzing,
rumbling sounds in their head lik<-
water t'aling or steam escaping should
take prompt and effective measures to
stop this trouble. Head noises are al
most invariably the forerunners of
complete or partial deafness, and
most deaf people suffer from thetn
constantly. Sometimes these head
noises become so distracting and
nerve-racking, with their never ceas
ing "hum," they drive the sufferer al
most frantic and complete nervous
breakdown may result.
Thanks to a remarkable prescrip
tion, it is now possible to lessen the
severity of these head noises and
often completely overcome them and
with the disappearing of the head
noises the hearing also greatly im
proves. and very frequently can be
restored to normal. It can be easily
prepared at home and we believe is
a most effective treatment for this
trouble. From your druggist secure
1 (iz. Parmint (Double Strength), take
this home and add to it V 4 pint of hot
water and 4 ounces of granulated
sugar. Stir until dissolved. Take one
tablespoonful four times a day. Par
mint is used in this way not only to
reduce by tonic action the inflamma
tion and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, but to corrert
any excess of secretions in the middle
ear. and the results it gives are usu
ally quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in
any form should give this recipe a
trial.—Advertisement.

mighty bad shape and it did it quick
too.
, "My "stomach was in terrible
shape, nothing I ate agreed with me.
and many times when I tried to eat
1 would gag and vomit every
thing up.
"J haven't eaten any breakfast in
years but used to go on duty with
an empty stomach which made mo
feel weak and I didn't have the am
bition 1 should have had.
"1 slept poorly too and would
wake up feeling tired and completely
dragged out and I was constipated
that 1 had to be continually taking
strong cathartics and this weakened
me still further.
"Now I am hungry for breakfast
when I get up. I can eat and enjoy
my meals, I sleep tine and wake up
