CHILDREN, 15c THURSDAY EVENING, the whole act is diverting and enter taining throughout. On the same bill Una Clayton, a Harrisburg favorite, who, with the aid of her partner, Herbert Griffin, is presenting this season, an appealing: little play en titled "Keep Smilin'." Those who saw her liked her in "Milk" and "Col lusion," you will love her in her newest play. The Hiekey Brothers, vaudeville's cleverest trio of male performers, are a big comedy number on the bill. They are presenting a variety offering that has been scoring a big hit all along the Keith circuit. George Yeomans, in an interesting talk on "Topics of the Day," and the Fabinia Sisters, in a refined vocal and instrumental musical offering, round out the list of attractions. Few people know that in the fam ■ ous American Legion of the Canadian Army every man | "For the I'rreilom carried an Amerl i of (he World," can flag over his at the Colonial heart. When an American, eager | to enter the big fight for liberty, went up to Canada to enlist he was | sworn in as a Canadian soldier and | then his commanding officer presented him with a small American flag. I which was pinned inside his tunic. "I'll carry this to Berlin or bust." was what many a man said. This, in fact, became the slogan of the famous Ninety-seventh Battalion. around which is written the plot of "For the Freedom of the World," Ira M. Lowry's motion picture spectacle now being shown at the Colonial Theater as a benefit, show for the mothers, wives and sisters <.f Harrisburg. who have loved ones In the service of Uncle Sam. Thos who see the film have portrayed for them the romance of a young American, who enlisted in the Canadian Army, won his commis sion and also the love of a beautiful Canadian girl before going overseas. Their adventures, their wonderful love and their even more wonderful sacrifice form the basis for a thrilling war Story. Made with the co-opera tion of the Canadian Government and the United States military authori ties. the him has in it many thou sands of regular soldiers and a series of battle scenes which, in their reai ii.m. have seldom been surpassed. In 3pite of the inclement weather, large crowds greeted the first show ing of "Bab's "Hub's Matinee Idol'' Matinee Idol." nt the Urgent featuring Mar guerite Clark, at the Regent Theater this afternoon. This is the last of the Mary Roberts Kinehart stories to be picturized, and is a delightful chapter in the adven tures of the winsome heroine. Bab. From those who have seen Mar guerite Clark impersonate Bab, a character created as only Mary Rob erts Kinehart car. evolve, the younger sister not yet in society, "Bab's Mati nee Idol" received a hearty welcome. This screamingly funny picture won every audience which saw it at the Regent to-day, and many pronounced it the best of the Bab pictures. "Bab's Matinee Idol," which will be shown at the Regent to-night, to morrow nnd Saturday, is full of life and overflowing with the spirit of Miss Clark's charming personality. Some of the features in this delight ful screen play are scenes in a muni tion plant, and much startling action transpires within the shadow of one of Uncle Sam's supply houses. In her ambition to aid in the suc cess of a play, wherein appears an AMUSEMENTS 'LOVE O'MIKE' CLEVER COMEDY Plenty of Good Music and Fun in Offering at the Orpheum Plenty of good musical numbers, some of them pleasing the audience more because of the tuneful melody than because of the ability of the singer, and a steady flow of ludicrous situations to keep up the laughter— these Were the offerings in "Love o' Mike," the musical comedy at the Orpheum last night. Olga Brooks, who took the part of Molly, one of the girls at a weekend liouseparty, with her unexpected comments on all subjects; and Shep Camp, as Biff Jackson, the butler, a movie fan, formed the perfect combi nation for the fun of the show. The happenings at a week-end houseparty, where everybody was having a fine time until Captain Lord Michael Kildare won the admiration of all the girls, axe used for the story. Lord Yildare's hit with the girls does not please the boys at the party, and each tries various ways to win back his sweetheart. Kach tells a hero story in order to outdo the one which Lord Kildare tells about rescuing a woman and two children, but the boys aren't as successful: The butler's suggestions were accepted each time, but turned out to be nothing more than jokes. At the conclusion of the party it turned out that Bruce Grant, one of the boys, was the hero, and Captain Kildare proved his bravery during his ser vice in the British Army. Henry Vincent, as the lord, imper sonated an Englishman in an able manner; Bob McClellan, as Grant, and Franklin Lyons, as Alonzo Bird, were the other good male leads. Of the girls, Gladys Reed, Jerry Saage and Bobby Walton were enjoyed the most. actor for whom Bab has conceived an overwhelming affection, she arranges to have the idol call at her father's munitions plant seeking work. Ho is to utter a phrase from the play, whereupon he is to be thrown out by the managers, while reporters tell the story in the papers and thus put the sagging- play on the road to success. Unfortunately, a representative of the British Government, who is buy ing shells, is mistaken for the actor, and is the object of the enforced eject ment. When the real thespian ar rives, he is put to work, much against his wishes. In the end, Bab blows up her romance in a most unusual way, and lastlv develops the measles. There are many humorous situations in this last Paramount production, and many a bright moment for the spectator. Mrs. Vernon Castle, who has been advertised from coast to coast as the world's best-known and Mrs. \ ernon best-dressed woman In continues to live up ••The Mark to her reputation in her of Cain*' latest work, "The Mark , , of Cain," in which she Is being featured, together with the talented star, Antonio Moreno, and now being shown at the Victoria Theater to-day.

Daughters of 1917. National War Aid, the theater management agree ing to turn over a generous share of the box office receipts to the organi zation of women for civilian relief work. Love laughs at' even the world war in this great drama, which was shown for the first time in the city yesterday. Many who saw it say it is one of the best patriotic films ever produced, showing just what happens to every American man after he en lists, and what may happen on the great .battlefields of France. No de tail is omitted and every effort has been made by the producing company to have realism in the war scenes and to show what is being done in the fight against the Huns. The story of the film is a fascinating one, with an appeal to every true and loyal Ameri can citizen. Gordon Harvey, a wealthy young American, who has enlisted in the American Legion of the Canadian Army because he believes it his duty, even before his country is at war, to fight to uphold the liberty of human ity, wins a commission and the heart of beautiful Betty Milburn. Duty calls him to France, and his bride, distract ed, disguises herself as a war nurse and follows, though she' knows full well that if they are found together at the front it means death punish ment for them both. Her presence behind the trenches is revealed by a cowardly officer who had been a suitor for her hand, and her husband is called to account. To gether they decide on the great sac - rifice. Rather than give her over to a firing squad he shoots her, and as she falls, apparently dying, he goes out on a mission he believes, means certain death. But Betty, fortunately, has not been fatally woundfd, and her hue band escapes death by a miracle. He is rescued under tire from the enemy by Ralph Perry ,his treacherous brother officer, sentenced to death on another charge. Husband and wife are reunited in their great .love. Harvey, who has been promoted to a captaincy, is awarded the Victorian Cross, and oven the villainous Perry, for bis bravery in his hour of greatest danger, is execution of sentence of the courtmartial. "For the Freedom of the World" was written by Captain Edwin. Bower Hesser, an officer of the American Legion. MAN SLEEPS IN TREK I.ewistown, Pa., Dec. 13.—A man giving his name as Matthew J.

Conscript Wealth, Plea of Grangers Williamsport, Pa., Dec. 13.4-Con scription of wealth, as well as men, was among the war measure recom mendations that featured the report of the legislative committee of the Pennsylvania State Grange in ses sion here yesterday. The report was lead by Allen D. Miller, of Sus-' queharna. "The men with an income of ?S00o," the report asserted, "can easily give a portion of that sum every year to the government with out sacrific ,and certainly the man with an income of at least SIOO,OOO can givo up all over that without sacrifice. The government, by the selective law, has taken our young men, and it i sonly right and fair that it should also conscript the wealth of the United States to help wtn the war." A permanent policy of a grad uated income tax, in the opinion of the committee, would not only give the Government added income at tliis time, but would do away with the mammoth fortunes which, the committee believes, are a menace to the happiness and prosperity of the United States." The report contin ued: "Tho draft law has hampered the farmer, but we plead no exemption of our boys who are just as brave as those of the city or those in any other industry, as they have proved by thousands of volunteer jenlist ments. The governmen turged in creasing planting of crops. The farmers responded but the labor sit uation has been such in the East that much has gone to waste. We, therefore, urge that exemptions as will give the farmer and other clases of industry necessary in the prose cution of the war the labor aeeded. Many men have been found physi cally defective and disqualified for military service. We would urge that these be placed in necessary war industry for which they are best fitted and keep there until the closo of the war." Gets Prison Term For Mulcting Autoists Atlantic. City, Dec. 13.—Wilbur D. Speece, former deputy sheriff of Harrisburg and politician in Penn sylvania, was sentenced yesterday to state prison at hard labor for an in determinate term oT not less than one year, nor more than three years, by Judge C. C. Shinn. .Speece was convicted of extortion while a magistrate at Pleasantville. He was charged with mulcting auto mobilists to and from the resort. Aided by his specially deputized con stables, Daniel HafT, of Egg Harbor township, and Ilarry Burris, of New ark, N. J., he reaped ji harvest by his practices. Motor travelers from Philadelphia and elsewhere keenly felt the gouge and there were many complaints both to State Motor Ve hicle Commissioner W. B. Dill and Prosecutor Charles S. Moore. Speece, according to witnesses, set the lines to .fit the purse. If the luck less driver confessed that he had a certain amount the magistrate would set the penalty accordingly, but was always considerate enougli to leave a small balance for the victim. Motor ists readily paid over amounts either to avoid delay or publicity. The convicted magistrate was also sentenced to pay the costs of prose cution. He was admitted to $5,000 bail. HafT and Burris escaped with suspended sentences. Speece has been convicted and seittenced to imprisonment in Penn sylvania and has also fallen in fed eral toils. He is known on the records as Milton D. Speece, M. Dock Speece and E. C. Mactuimer. When deputy sheriff at Harrisburg in 1900, he was found guilty on an indictment charg ing six counts. He served about a year'in prison and was heavily fined. Speece was also arrested at York and again at Cumberland county, Pa. Beef For Army Spoils on Ship Due to Muddle Washington, Dec. 13.—There is lying at one of the German line piers in Hoboken, New York Harbor, where the Quartermaster's Department, which is operating the vessels taken over by the Army for the transat lantic supply service, has been at tempting to load ships for France for the latet six months, a certain Ameri can supply ship which has arrived from France within the last week or two. This vessel is a refrigerator ship, he is used in carrying refrigerated beef to the American Army in France. On her last trip across she carried a full cargo of beef in cold storage. When she returned from France a short while ago it was discovered that she had not left all of her cargo on the other side; 150 tons of beef, the contents of one refrigerator com partment, came back to America with her. In fact, it seems that a whole com partmentful of beef had been over loked in the process of unloading the ship in France. Tho master of the ship, however, supposing that she was empty of her beef cargo, did not, of course, run the refrigerating plant on the way home. The consequence was that the 150 tons of beef which had taken a trip to France and back was rotten when it was discovered after the ship's return to Hoboken the other day. According to current reports along the New York water front it was very rotten indeed.

MINISTERS CONTINUE DRIVE Hope to Raise Balance of Ed ucational Fund at Sun day Services A number of Methodist ministers in Harrisburg have been so successful in getting contributions to the Kdu cational-Jubilee fund from their own churchmembers that to-day they will turn in and help out-of-town congre gations which have not come up to the ntark. Among these Is the Rev. Arthur A. Bouton, pastor of the Riv erside Church, who completed the canvass of his own parish with most flattering results. Accompanied b? the Rev. M. D. Rush, of lowa, he left last night for the southern sec tion of the Central Pennsylvania Conference, where they will assist in rushing through tl)e campaign, which is scheduled to close at midnight De cember 20. From the latest report it appears that SIIO,OOO is needed to make up the fund assigned to this conference, $450,000. Some the workers be lieve that tliis whole amount will •come in next Sunday, known as "gleaning day," but others believe the result should not be allowed to impend entirely on that. One of the most efficient canvassers from Har risburg since the campaign began is Dr. M. E. Swartz, superintendent of the Harrisburg district. Mxcepting for a few moments. Just long enough to change his clothes, lie has not been home in one week, stirring about night and day all over his dis trict. "We will make up the amount," he predicted in a hasty visit to the city yesterday. Director Kmpey is also traveling to every one of the 250 charges in the conference, and his opinion is that with the aid of "gleaning day" there will be no doubt of raising the fund. * Interesting Program For Township Institute New Cumberland, Pa., Dec. 13.—0n Saturday afternoon and evening a local institute of the teachers ot Fairview township, York county, will be held at New Market, at which time the program includes: 1.30 p.' m.—Devotional, E.

Physician in Charge of Home For Young Men Uses New Remedy For Liquor Habit With Astonishing Success Treatment. Can He Given Secretly New York: Wives and mothers throughout the land will be glad to know that Teacum J'owdera, the new remedy for the liquor habit, has stood the test of a thorough investigation by Doctor Conner, a Massachusetts physician. Dr. Conner, who is a graduate of the College of Physicians and .Surgeons of Baltimore with ex tnsive hospital experience at the Hopkins Hospital and nearly twenty years of practice, is now in charge of the "White Star," a home for young men. In this home a part of the plan is to give the young men good social surroundings and entertainment some of the boys are addicted to drink. His experience is most interesting and convincing. Here is his report: "Some weeks ago in discussing with a busi ness man one of the evils we have to combat, namely the drink habit, he mentioned Tescum and the wonderful cures that had been effected through its use. When 1 returned to the home after my interview I found upon mak ing inquiry that one of our boys knew all about 'Tescum,' having used it while in New York and through its use rid himself of the liquor habit. lie tells me that since using the remedy six months ago he has not taken a drink. Before taking the treatment fispi jiiiji Mrs. Belle C. writes: 'I am informed that I have kidney trouble and that It is fast approaching a serious stage. What would you prescribe Answer: If your symptoms are the usual ones,, such as puffs under the eyes, swelling ankles; scant, copious or foul-smelling urine, accompanied by headaches, pains, depression, fever, chills, etc., I would advise the imme diate use of balmwort tablets, a very tine remedy for such difficulties, sold in sealed tubes with full directions for self-administration. * * * Miss Bertie I* asks: "What remedy can you recommend to reduce obesity safely? I want to reduce about thirty pounds." Answer: X rely on five-grain arbo lone tablets as being the most effec tive and convenient treatment to re duce abnormal fat. Druggists sup ply this in sealed tubes with com plete directions. After the first few days a pound a day is not too much reduction. Mr. O. B. writes: "Please tell me what to take to get rid of pimples, boils and bad blood, t know I need a constipation remedy." Answer: It is probably neglect of constipation that has made your blood had. Begin a thorough treatment of three grain sulpherb tablets (not sul phur tablets). Continue for several months. * * • M. J. B. asks: "My hair is too oily and ray scalp itches with dandruff, and of late it is coming out too much. What is a good treatment?." Answer: Obtain plain yellow minyol from your druggist in 4-oz. jars and apply as per directions. This cleans, purifies, cools and invig orates the hair and scalp, thus stop ping the death of the hair. Dandruff and itching are at once relieved.

R. asks: "I have tried for two years to diet so as to increase my weight and improve the quality of my blood, but in vain. Please pre scribe for me." Answer: Thin, scrawney. bloodless people need assistance in absorbing nutrition from the food eaten, and for this particular purpose I always prescribe three-grain hypo-nuclane tablets, a most effective preparation if regularly and persistently used, as it seems to increase the red and white corpuscles of the blood, thus< afford ing health, strength and increased weight. • • • Geo. V. G. writes: "Perhaps you can prescribe for me, as I am at a loss to understand my condition. For the past year have suffered extreme ner vousness, trembling and extremities are cold. Have poor appetite, am weak, listless and no ambition to work or seek recreation. Am tired all the time and in no sense the ?trong capable man I was a few ears ago."
