Clothing For 30 Little
Girls Is Badly Needed
Persons in Harrisburg who have
anything to give in the way of clothes
for thirty little girls from this city
now being cared for in the sanator
iutns at Mt. Alto and Cresson should
get in communication with Dr. C. R.
Phillips, physician in charge of the
dispens&ry, 10G North Second street.
As announced by Miss Anna Hart,
in charge of the statistical work for
the state, these children are in need
of shoes and stocking-, remnants of
•materials such as outing flannel,
muslin, calico and dress material of
any description out of which can be
made underwear and clothing.
The state looks after these unfor
tunate children in ample fashion,
nursing them back to health with
good food, all of them have to
be clothed and in many cases the
parents are not able to do anything
so that the institutions, which have
no apportionment for clothes from
the state, must call upcJn the public
charity. Many of the children, helped
liy the nurses, learn to sew and make
things for themselves. But they need
materials to sliapG into garments
both for their sleeping quarters and
to wear in the day time.

SELF DEFENSE
Defeat Backache and Kidney
Trouble With Anuric
Many people in Pennsylvania have
suffered from rheumatism and kid
ney trouble and have found Anuric
to be the most successful remedy to
• overcome these painful and danger
ous ailments. •
The lucky people are those who
have suffered, but who are now well
because they heeded nature's warn
ing signal in time to correct their
trouble with that wonderful new dis
covery of Or. Pierce's called "An-u
--ric" (double strength). You should
promptly heed these warnings, some
of which are dizzy spells, backache,
irregularity of the urine or the pain
ful twinses of rheumatism, sciatica
or lumbago. To delay may make pos
sible the dangerous forms of kid
ney disease, such as Bright's disease,
diabetes or stone in the bladder. If
vou want quick relief buy it now—
or send Dr. V. M. Pierce. Buffalo,
N. Y„ 10c for trial pkg. This will
prove that "Anuric" eliminates uric
acid as hot water melts sugar.
Many thousand Pennsylvania folks
agree with Mr. Good who says:
NescOpeck, Pa.
fn the trial package
fe Sfcs if "Anuric," dou-
ble strength,
** a s if would say, that I
v have never taken
any medicine that
1! jjji. helped me more.
1 had been trou-
V-vSjKI' Whbled with kidney
trouble and lame
hack so that I
\\ i\ could not walk
straight, and was not feeling able to
do anything, but after taking the
Anuric Tablets I feel like a new man.
1 am 67 years old and have worked
all summer, and give Anuric the
credit for it. I would say to all that
have kidney trouble, try Anuric." —

TOBACCO IS THE
GREAT NEED OF
YANKSABROAD
Nothing Tastes So Good as
American Smokes to
American Fighters
Let the soldier for fame and a gen
eral's name
In battle got many a thwack —O!
Let who will have most, who will
rule the roost—
.Give me but a pipe of tobacco!
Those old writers had the right
Idea. This little verse was scribbled
by Henry Fielding, of England's
pioneer novelists and a very human
gentleman. If Mr. Fielding were alive
to-day you can wager that he would
be using his wonderful talents to stir
up the public to generosity in tobac
co giving. And just look what liber
ties he took with the English lan
guage; he must have been hard
pressed for a word to rhyme with to
bacco—thwack—O! But that did not
bother him. He was speaking from
profound depths of his nature and
the thing to do was t get the
thought over.
Some of the Yankees over in
France to-day, though without Field
ing's reputation, convey the same
idea in rather more vivid language.
For Instance listen to our friend Tom
Reilly, Reilly of the Engineers, who
tells us first about how he and fifty
other Yanks have been digging
ditches for three months in water up
to the waist and then: "I could write
from now on to kingdom come and
couldn't tell you how good those ci
gars tasted. We just sat around all
that night puffing and sayln' every
once in a while 'hoiy smoke.' "

Los Angeles. Cal., Dec. 12. The
Rev. E. P. Ryland, a district superin
tendent of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, will be removed from his post
next Monday and assigned to some
other duty because of his unwilling
ness to support the church's patriotic
attitude, it became known here to
day.
Bishop Adna W. Leonard, who an
nounced the change, said the decision
was made when Doctor Ryland found
himself unable to assist in a propos
ed series of patriotic addresses. Doc
tor Ryland concurred in the step.

Attention was called to the advisa

PARK EXTENSION TO
START WITHOUT DELAY
[Continued from First Page.]
highway which is to traverse the
park extension on the lines of Aber
deen and East streets, which will
be the main highway across the.
park and where the trolley line will
run.
To arrange for the gradual filling'
in of the remainder of the extension j
where cleared so that trees may be
planted next year.
The City's - Part
To covenant with the city of Har-!
risburg to give the space now oc
cupied by the sidewalk on the park
■side of Third street and strips of
varying width of patlc to the city
for highway purposes so that Third
street shall be sixty-four feet wide.!
'To ask the city to establish a fu-!
ture building line for North street
from Third to the railroad on the
north side so that it shall also be'
a sixty-four foot wide street. This
does not contemplato immediate de
molition of any property, but is to;
govern future building.
To arrange for widening of Wal- j
nut street along the same plan as
for Third street.
To have plans made immediately
for the low coping to be the base of
the terraces in Third, North and|
Walnut streets.
To begin work as soon -is plans
can be made for the "circle" it Third
and Walnut streets which is to be a|
joint city and state enterprise and!
be the lower official entrance to the
park.
To start studies for the formal on- j
trance at State street, where future,
ceremonies will be held. This monu
mental entrance will be of granite;
and in keeping with the Capitol. [
To prepare specifications for the f
widening of the plaza to a space j
close to the line of the Hartranft
statue which is to be placed at the
Third and North streets entrance.
Bridge at State Street
The board formally went on rec
ord that the bridge voted by the city
of Harrisburg should be placed at
State street and will call upon the
city to take the necessary legal steps;
to have the location changed. This!
bridge will be made part of the gen
eral plan and the state will take
care of the approaches and esplan
ade wfthin the park, the railroads
where It crosses their tracks and the
city the rest. It is believed the city
loan will cover Its part and that the
railroads will co-operate.
The railroad lines will be adjust
ed later on. Straightening of tracks |
is being considered. The belief is
that the new station will eventually i
be placed on the south side of Wal
nut street between Cowden street and
the railroad with possible inclusion
of the United States Hotel.
All these details must be worked!
out and there will have to bo meet- i
Ings between railroad, city and state!
authorities.
40.000 Yards of Fill
Mr. Shreiner has contracted for
40,000 cubic yards of filling to start
the work. This will be taken from
various industrial plants and the new
street will begin just to the west of
the Technical, High school, on the
line of Aberdeen street. This worki
will be pushed throughout the win- •
ter.
For the present the old ware-|
houses in the-extension will be re-1
tallied for storage purposes.
The members of the board are a
unit In favor of the completion of j
plans and a. start of the work at;
once. The Legislature made an i'p-|
propriation of $350,000 for the work
and public sentiment throughout the |
state, as evidenced by men who,
come here from all of the counties
on official business, is that si park
befitting the dignity of the Common
wealth and the finest in the land
should be created.
MUNITIONS PLANT IN
DELAWARE IS BURNED
[Continued from First Page.]
burned like tinder, and as the flames
reached the loaded shells the latter
began to explode and occasionally
one would be hurled out of the build
ing.
Head of Guards Killed
One man. Theodore Jacobson, of
Harrison, N. J., the chief of guards,
was killed, his head being blown off
by one of the sheHs.
So far as could be learned, no
other persons were hurt either In
the fire or because of the explosions,
while several were slightly injured
in other ways. Several were slightly
hurt while running to escape the
danger or to help somebody else, but
none of the cases, as far as is known,
was serious.
Ambulances were quickly sum
moned from Wilmington, while phy
sicians were also called from this
city and New Castle.
Many Workmen Absent
Duo to the fact that through an
accident on the trolley line, the cur
rent had been shut off, about 500
persons employed at the Bethlehem
works had not reached the plant.
Many of them were in the car from
Wilmington which usually reaches
the plant at 8 o'clock, but which was
held up on the way.
It also was fortunate that the fire
broke out at 7.55 o'clock which was
five minutes before starting time.
This being the case, hundreds of
operatives were on their way to work
at the time but had not reached the
plant when the fire started.
The mill where the fire started had
been temporarily closed down until
the first of January and for the time
being the building had been used
only for storage purposes. Its chief
function, in active operation, how
ever, was to load and assemble the
shells, but this work had been sus
pended for several days. ,
Because the loading building in
which the fire broke but was Isolated
from the rest, of the plant and pro
tected by earthworks, other parts of
the plant were comparatively safe,
although several small frame struc
tures in the immediate vicinity, such
as coat houses, guard office and a new
pay roll office, were in the wake of
the destruction and fell a prey to
the flames and the bombardment
also.
The loss is not known but it is es
timated that it might be close to
$200,000.
Fire Incendiary Is Belief
The burned building was an inex
pensive affair, hut it contained valu
able machinery, in addition to the
15,000 loaded and 30,000 unloaded
shells.
Nobody can advance any definite
idea of the origin of the fire but the
incendiary theory is prevalent. No
machinery was In operation at the
time and there was no fire In the
building, which was heated by steam
from the main power plant some dis
tance away; therefore It is not like
ly there was any fire in the building
or any activity that could have
caused friction. But it Is'not known
that anybody of a suspicious appear
ance was seen about the place before
the fire.
Nearby residents, Including the In
habitants of New Castle and other
cities and towns, as far south as Del
aware City and Port Penn, along the
river, were terrorized for a time, in
view of the succession of reports,
caused by the exploding shells. Many
persons and many houses had nar
row escapes from the hurling mis-
