Art of Camouflage an
Old One, Says Expert
New York, Nov. 16.—Camouflage
Is ages old, Maximilian Tocli, adviser
to the United States government In
the art, told a meeting of artists and
architects here last night. "It saw its
birth in the day of the ancients," he |
said.
"You all know how the Greeks
captured Troy by the strategy of con
cealing warriors in the wooden j
horse, and Shakespeare wrote of|
camouflage, too, in Macbeth. Confed- j
orate soldiers in the Civil war were
<amouflaged by their uniforms of j
gray that blended with the dust of
roads and highways," Mr. Toch ex-1
plained.

FRIDAY EVENING,
MILK DEALERS
TO FIX RETAIL
PRICE NEXTWEEK
' Will Meet Tuesday to Discuss
Last Night's Action
of Producers
At a well-attended meeting of the
I wholesalers of the Dauphin-Cum
j.berland Dairymen's Leag-uo at
Mechanicsburg last night, the price
of milk to the distributors was raised
to $3.49 a hundredweight. This
action has been expected for soma
time and means that retail distribu
tors will have to pay seven cents a
quart for their milk after Decem
ber 1, instead of the six cents they
are paying now. A local retail dealer
this morning stated that he did not
see how milk could be sold at less
than eleven cents, an increase of one
cent.
A meeting of the retail milk dis
tributors haß been called in Maenrier
i chor Hall next Tuesday evening,
' when the decision fixing the price of
I milk will be announced. A dealer
I stated that prior to that time the
! wholesale dealers will be met by the
| retailers in an effort to have them
| rescind last night's decision. When
j fome of the dairymen of-the county
were approached this morning, how
ever, they stated that it would be
impossible to continue to sell milk
j at a tigure less than the price they
! have fixed. Greatly Increased cost
I of dairy food to the producers is the
| cause of the raise, dairymen said.
I A local retail dealer stated this
j morning that he could not say
| whether Harrisburg would have to
, pay twelve cents for milk or not.
That was the retail price hinted at
the dairvmen's meeting last night.
The retailer said that the cost of
handling is much greater now than
ever before, and enumerated the. in
' creased cost of bottles, caps, deliv
ery, et<;.

CHARITABLE FUND
IS EXHAUSTED
Benevolent Society Docs Much
Good Among Worthy
Poor
The annual report of the Harris
burg Benevolent ifssociation has been
compiled for the year ending Oc
tober 31. The Harrisburg Benevolent
Association was incorporated in
1879, to "relieve the worthy poor
of Harrisburg." It Is the legatee of
the John C. Brua fund, and receives
one-tenth of the income of the A'. li.
Shellenberger memorial fund, and
has received contributions from the
estate of Mrs. Sarah J. Haly,
through Haldeman O'Connor, sur
viving executor.
For the past nine years the as
sociation has employed the Asso
ciated Aid Societies as its distributor,
and has done no active work itself.
For the aid of the Associated Chari
ties the association has paid, but
during tlfe last two months, owing
to the low state of the fund, the
payment has stopped, and the asso
ciation, for lack of funds, has been
unable to give the Associated Aid
Societies any funds for distribution.
The Associated Societies still desires
to distribute the funds when they
arc forthcoming, and the members of
the Benevolent Association, in \ iew
Of the legacies that marked the
origin of the association, desire to
continue the fund.
Need Export Workers
John H. McCandless, in his re
port for the Associated Aid Societies,
emphasized the high cost of living,
and the need of. taking care of the
city's worthy poor this year as well
as in previous years. The fact that
the work of the Associated Aid So
cieties requires expert knowledge and
a great deal of work is brought out
in the report. The report shows that
during the year, ended 608 different
families have been aided by" the
funds of the Benevolent Association
through the society. The funds of the
Harrisburg Benevolent Association
have been expended in these ways:
Two hundred and twenty-live orders
for groceries. 123 orders for coal,
101 orders for new clothing, 125 or
ders for shoes, 22 orders for milk,
90 orders for medical prescriptions
from the Harrisburg dispensary, '2
orders for eyeglasses, 9 orders for
lodgings, 140 emergency orders for
nftals, ii months' rent for five fam
ilies These reports snow-that there
were less orders than during any
previous year, although the amount
expended is more. This emphasizes
the high cost of living and the neea
of funds if the work is to be con
tinued. ,
Enmily Gardens
Another use of the money of the
Benevolent Association lias been in
the maintenance of family gardens
under the direction of John P. Guy
er. Mr. Gu.ver's report shows thai
there were over three hundred gar
den plots under cultivation, with 298
families represented. The average
value of Hje garden lots to the fam
ilies was $lB, with a cost to the as
sociation of $3.31 each. The per
centage of good gardens cultivated
is very large. The report shows there
were 131 very good gardens, 116
good, 36 fair, 15 poor and only two
were given up. Seed was provided
for 188 families and all the lots were
plowed from the fund. Contributing
to the success of this work were:
William Jennings, Christopher
Lynch, George A. Shreiner, estate of
James McCormick, Henry McCor
mick, Jr., Warren Van Dyke, who
contributed free land; plowing con
tributed by City Commissioner Wil
liam H. Lynch. Jackson Herr Boyd,
Elmer Wagner, Harry M. Cohan;
lime was contributed by Joshua E.
Butherford; plow contributed by
Oliver Chilled Plow Works, B. F.
Fry, manager: service and other as
sistance contributed by L. E. Vana
man, George D. Rasadean, William
P. Meikle, William B. Denehey, M.
B. Cowden and N. A. Staples. The
total cost of operating the gardens
was $994.25.

Odd Fellows Are Pleased
With Concert Given by
Orphanage Orchestra
Odd Fellows of Lancaster, Dauphin
and Cumberland counties heard the
Girls' Orchestra of the Odd Fellows'
Orphans' Home, ut Sunbury, in the
Chestnut Street Auditorium last even
ing. 'The twenty girls in the orchestra
gave a program of music which was
both inspiring and beautiful.
Pictures, showing the home life of
the children in the institution, were
run. Among the interesting features
were pictures of the officers, the di
rectors and the three charter members
of the Home Association who are yet
living.
Superintendent E. E. Chubbuck ac
companied the orchestra on its trip
to Harrisburg. The officers of the

are inmates of the institution.
WHEN DO WE DIE?
Investigation of the Question
has interested Scientists
Practically speaking, many people I
actually begin to die years beioie tlioy
cease to live. Many times you see a!
comparatively young person with
shrunken features and pallor that
you might expect to lind in a hospital |
ward. That unfortunate person is
suffering from Impoverished lilood
and every vital organ of the body lie- ;
gins to die the moment the blood
becomes impoverished.
DR. CHASIC'S BLOOD AND NERVE |
TABLETS have been prepared to I
feed the blood the elements it lacks
and feed it quickly. The blood needs |
Iron. Dr. Chase's Blood and Nerve I
Tablets contain Iron in a most active,
and condensed form, so compounded I
with Nux vomica, Gentian and other I
blood and nerve builders, that it can 1
he assimilated or absorbed directly, i
When in perfect health the blood 1
gradually draws these elements from
the food you eat, but when the blood j
becomes impoverished, it must have i
more direct nourishment.
You should weigh yourself before
taking Dlt. CHASIi'S BLOOD AND I
