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.

BIG WAR DRAMA
IS BEING SHOWN
"For the Freedom of the j
World," at Colonial Theater 'j
Today and Tomorrow
One of the greatest war dramas
ever presented in motion pictures i*
being shown to-day and to-morrow
at the Colonial Theater as a benefit
exhibition for the Harrisburg Chap
ter. 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.

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.

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. *

Relieves Stiff Neck
When you wake up with a stiff
neck or sore muscles, strains or
sprains, use Sloan's Liniment. No
need to rub; it quickly penetrates to
the seat of pain and removes it.
Cleaner than mussy plasters or oint
ments. It does not stain the skin or
clog the pores. Always have a bottle
handy for rheumatic aches, neuralgia

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

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.

and ray scalp itches with dandruff,
and of late it is coming out too much.
What is a good treatment?."

orates the hair and scalp, thus stop
ping the death of the hair. Dandruff

he was a confirmed drunkard. I be -
Kan using- Tescum on five of our very
worst cases and the most remarkable
results followed. Not one of the five
has shown any signs of alcoholism
for over a month and declare upon
their word of honor they have not
taken a single drink of liquor sine*
the third day after beginning the
treatment. Their physical condition
has improved wonderfully. I am fa
miliar with the formula of Tescuni
Powders and I unhesitatingly recom
mend it as a harmless, reliable home
remedy containing no habit-forming"
drugs and from personal experience
in my practice know it succeeds
where other remedies fail. I feel it
my duty when something so valuable
as Tescum is ofTered to the public to
put my stamp of approval on it. May
it continue its successful fight against
the great destroyer of homes, the
drink habit."
NOTE Tescum is odorless, color
less and tasteless and can be given
secretly in tea, coffee or any food. The
manufacturers guarantee it to stop
tile liquor habit in any form or refund

Miss C. W. 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.

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."
Answer: A powerful rejuvenating
nerve medicine should revive the dor- 1
mant. sluggish condition and put new
ambition and energy into ypur blood
and nerves. Obtain three grain cad
omene tablets in sealed tubes, take
as per directions.
