FiGHT
FOR YOUR LIFE
Duty Demands
Robust Health
Fight to get it and keep it
Fight—fight day in and day out to
prevent being overtaken by ills and
alls. Keep wrinkles from marring
the cheek and the body from losing
its youthful appearance and buoy
ancy. Fight when ill-health is com
ing with its pallor and pains, defects
and declining powers. Fight to stay
Its course and drive it off.
But fight intelligently. Don't fight
without weapons that can win the
day, for without the Intelligent use
of effective weapons the pallor
spreads and weakness grows and a
seemingly strong man or woman oft
tlmes becomes a prey to l'.ls after all.
You will not find this class of per
sons in the liypoferrin ranks. No
unhealthy, dull, draggy, droopy per
sons in that line. It is a hale, hearty,
robust aggregation of quick-steppers
who view life in a joyous frame of
mind and are mentally and physically
equal to any emergency. Hypoferrin
stands for sound body and sound
mind—it is the invigorating tonic of
the times —powerful and unsurpassed
as a health restorer, vitalizer and
health preserver. Fight to hold the
vigor of a sound body with hypo
ferrin or to stay the process of decay
and restore health and strength—you
win. This tonic of amazing, wonder
working properties has been ap
proved by physicians as a restorer
and safeguard of health. It 1> a
thoroughly scientific preparation of
the very elements necessary to tone
•up the stomach and nerves, to build
.strong, vital tissue, mako pure blood.
Arm flesh and solid, active, tireless
muscles.
Hypoferrin contains those mighty
•trength-producing agents, leclthin
and-lron peptonate, in a form best
adapted to beneflt the body and It*
organs. Its ingredients aro absolute
ly necessary to the blood. In nln
cases out of ten a run-down condi
tion, sallow, pale complexions that
"all in" feeling and frail bodies are
due to lack of lecithln-and-iron pep
tonate In the system.
Your mental and physical strength
and endurance defends upon a
leclthin-an-iron peptonate laden
blood; steady, dependable nerves and
a healthy stomach. With these yo
can meet life at any angle.
This wonder tonic, hypoferrin,
which Is as perfect as science can
get to nature, meets every essential
demand of the human organism. It
Js safe and sure and a boon to run
down, worn-out men and women.
Hypoferrin means nature's own 'way
of bringing color to the cheeks.
Strength to the body and keeping
the vigor and buoyancy of youth. The
powder and paint way of effecting
beauty is not needed by hypoferrin
women and girls. Their blood, filled
with nature's beauty stores, creates
conditions that give firmness and
grace to the body and the glow of
health to the cheeks.
No need of going through -life sick
ly and always feeling miserable In
this' age of medical science. Join
the hypoferrin ranks. It puts Into
you the springy snap and vigor you
ought to have and puts life Into your
body and mind that Inspires the con
fidence that you confront the world
on an equal rooting with anyone.
Hypoferrin may .be hsd at your
druggist's or direct from ua for SI.OO
per package. It Is well worth the
price. The Sentanel Remedies Co.,

IS NOT DEFENSE
Interesting Ruling Made by
the State Compensation
Board in Scranton Case
The fact that a
V\ \ ® //J claimant's home
vv\\ surroundings may
\\\\A not have been as
7 sanitary and con
dueive to recovery
jpMrtiWb from the effects of
an injury can not

r fefJljiljl IIWInMI fense on the part
ggSyylMiyJlUfc of ail employer In
go contesting a com
pensatlon claim,
is held by the State Board in dis
missing the appeal of the Penn Coal
Company, of Scranton, in the claim
of Peter Ermel. Ermel was injured
and developed tuberculosis of the
lungs. The injury was held to have
brought on the disease or aggravat
ed an existing condition.
In another mine case it is held
that the claimant was injured while
engaged in some "horse pray" which
caused a barrel to explode from
tsteam pressure and compensation is
refused.
The widow of Albert Halvordson,
Philadelphia, is awarded compensa
tion for death of her husband who
fell overboard from a lighter owned
by the Porter Gildersleeve Company,
Philadelphia. He is held to have
been the watchman and that the
lighter was not-engaged in maritime
pursuits at the time.
In the case of a widow now con
fined in a state hospital for the in
sanee it is held that she can claim
no legal dependency on her husband
and therefore no claim for compen
sation because of his death. The
Board finds in the case of an em
ploye of the Baudwin Locomotive
works, who failed to' lile a claim in
the required period becauso of pay
ments made to him, that it must be
shown that the payments were con
sidered as compensation. As the act
was not complied with an award is
set aside. The ruling is made in a
mining case that when an employ
er "seeks to modify or terminate an
agreement the burden is upon <lie
employe to show that the disability
has changed."
The Board dismissed seven appeals
and ordered a re-hearing in Brady
vs. Booth, Warren county.

Two important appeals from deci
sions of the Public Service Commis
sion are listed for argument in the
supreme court next week, one being
the Ohio Valley water case.

CITY'S SCHOOLS
ATTRACT NOTICE
Harrisburg Plan Considered
at State Convention
of Educators
That the special schools maintain
ed in Harrisburg by the school board
are attracting stnte-wide attention
because of the practfeal and success
ful methods used was told to the
board yesterday afternoon by Dr. F.
E. Downes, city superintendent, in an
oral report on the meeting of the
Pennsylvania State Educational As
sociation held recently at Johnstown.
The Harrisburg continuation school
was the one which created the most
interest in the discussions at the sec
tion meetings at Johnstown, speakers
commending the school district on |
the splendid showing made here
even though the school is located
iif a two-story frame building. Slides
showing charts and other material
used at the school have been mado
by the bureau of vocational educa
tion of the State Department of Pub
lic Instruction and are exhibited all
over the state. Teachers at the school
aie Miss Nora M. Koons, Harry K.
Balsßaugh and Mrs. Sarah G. Wor
mell. Miss Koons and Professor
Balsbaugh spoke at .the educational
meeting. At present there are 210
boys and girls enrolled at the Har
risburg school.
Two other striking features in pub- j
lie education work were called to
the attention pt the directors by Dr.
Downes. One of these was the in
creasing sentiment in favor of physi
cal education in the schools, prob
ably due to the war. Dr. Downes
said a bill may be Introduced in the
I Legislature at the next session which
I if passed will require public school
| districts to include physical instruc
tion in the curriculum. Ho com
mended the directors for approving
the proposed changes in supervisory
, work which will include provision for
this branch of instruction.
Vacancy on Board
Another feature of the meetings
was the widespread interest in the
junior high school movement involv
ing a complete change in school or
ganization. Much of tho time was
sper.t in talks and discussions on
junior school work.
A committee of school directors
will bring the matter of filling tho
vacancy on tho board to the atten
tion of the court. Since the resigna
tion of the Rev. William N. Yates
there has been only eight directors.
Officials of the board said complete
plans for the work of the year can
not be made until there are nine
members.
The revised rules which will eli
minate all committees of the board
providing for a number of changes
recommended in the survey report of
tho district will be submitted for ilnal
action Friday, January 18.
The board approved the finance
committee recommendation to aban
don any further work on the building
program with the exception of com
pletion of the new junior high school
at Nineteenth and Chestnut streets,
and the remodeling of the Camp Cur
tin building. It was decided to ad
vertise for bids for the purchase of
SSOO,OOO of 4% per cent. 5-30-year
He-rial bonds, tho proceeds to be
used to erect these two buildings,
the open air school and purchase
property adjoining Technical High
•school.

CONTROL WILL BE
PERFECTED SOON
Administration Leaders in
Congress Plan For Early
i Enactment of Legislation
By Associated Press
Washington, Jan. s.—Administra
tion leaders In Congress went to work
to-day to bring about early enact
ment of legislation recommended by
President Wilson to perfect Govern
ment control of railroads and provide
for their reimbursement on the basis
of pre-war earnings.
I Although there were indications of
opposition to certain features of the
I President's plan as outlined in a bill
Introduced soon after his address yes
terday, his ideas in the main were re
ceived with approval by Democrats
and Republicans alike. Changes in
the provision that Federal control
shall continue after the war indefi
nitely or until Congress orders other
wise and details of the compensation
plan probably will be urged.
At the same time Director General
McAdoo went rapidly forward with
the details of actual operation of rail
roads. His decision, reached after a
conference yesterday with the broth
erhood chiefs, to appoint an advisory
Jjoard of four to thresh out the In
creased wage demands, caused him to
postpone on recommendation of the
eastern traffic officials curtailment of
passenger schedules.
The wage advisory board, soon to
be named by Mr. McAdoo, will inves
tigate all phases of the Brotherhoods'
demands and recommend a course to
the director general.
Abnormal traffic • and insufficient
motive power on the Pennsylvania,
Baltimore and Ohio and Erie Rail
roads are mainly responsible for the
freight congestion In eastern terri
tory, according to reports to-day to
Director General McAdoo from Inter
state Commerce Commissioner Mc-
Chord. West of Pittsburgh practi
cally the only congestion is caused
by the inability of eastern roads to
accept traffic and move it eastward.
A great quantity of westbound empty
cars consequently are held up by
the eastbound movement.
In New England and In districts
about New YorU, hundreds of loco
motives are disabled and have not
been repaired as promptly as commis
sion Inspectors believe they might
have been. At Boston the New Haven
is badly crowded with excess freight,
but the Boston and Albany is In much
better condition. This situation has
i prompted the suggestion that freight
should be rerouted over the less con
gested lines.
Congestion at Cleveland, Toledo,
i Columbus and Indianapolis are caused
almost entirely by the inability of
the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn
sylvania to move trains through the
Pittsburgh freight jam.
The Baltimore and Ohio is reported
short of locomotives at Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, the Cumberland
• region and a number of other points.
HARRISBURGERS TO GO

will be drawn as the school pro
gresses.
Won Their Spurs
These men are those who have
won their "spurs" in the respective
branches of the service in which
they enlisted six and eight months
ago. The Augusta Chronicle says:
"They were the choice of their
company commanders and again the
cream, of that choice picked out by
the examining board so that because
of their experience since enlistment
and the progress that is mapped out
for them, they should be as thorough
as West Point graduates as it is pos
sible to produce.
"The men will be given every
chance to apply themselves to their
intensive training, as they will not
be required to do police ot guard
duty of any kind, such as pertains to
the kitchen or stables, although, of
course, they will be responsible for
the condition of their tents and per
sonal equipment."
At Camp M<sade
A number of selected men from
Dauphin and surrounding territory
are included in the list of men
chosen from those stationed at Camp
Meade, who were appointed to the
third series of officers training camps.
