FREDERICK MONSKV HAS WON EWIAIII.K KKPUTATIOX l)r. Frederick Motisen, wlio'will lec ture fii this city Thursday night un 'er the auspices of tin- Harrisburg Natural Histpry Society, lias won for himself an enviable place in the es teein of those who like travel-lec tures or accounts of exploration. He is well qualified through personal ex perience, and presents his subject in such a perfectly natural way that it is no effort to listen to him. But if Mr. Monsen did neither talk nor lec ture there would be enough to inter est in the wonderful paintings he shows on the screen; for they are really paintings, and not the tinted lantern slides we aro in the habit of seeing.

SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS ARE WORKING HARD FOR RED CROSS Patriotism of Youngsters Equals That of Parents; Knitting Needles Are Backed With Liberty Bonds "Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a coat of many colors." Thus runs the narrative in the Book of Genesis, and one is reminded of it at this hour when hundreds of boys are making Joseph's coats for the Red Cross. The Junior organization of this vast activity is now In full swing here. It would be worth your while to take a Friday afternoon off and step into any public or parochial school to see the youth of the nation knitting and sewing, inspired from pure patriotism and laying the foundation for a nation of usefulness and efficiency. It may take three years to conquer Germany, as How ard Heinz predicted i:i his speech at Chestnut street hall, but nil the while the American youth, if Harris burg is any criterion, will be becom ing a master builder. "You are the hope of the world," said an Ameri can poet, himself of German descent but absolutely loyal to this country, ir. a book which he addressed to the boys and girls of this, land. This is what the Hed Cross people here be lieve and every school teacher is do ing his or her part to make useful children. "It is the opening wedge for domestic science in all schools," said one of the school matrons of Harrisburg to-day. "Three-fourths of the children in this school used to go to the movies nearly every night. Now they stay home and work for the Red Cross. No one can predict what this conversion to pa triotic industry will eventually ac complish." President Wilson probably looked forward to this when he approved of the Junior Red Cross. Many others, including Cardinal Gibbons, representing every type of school and every kind of scholar, have sanc tioned this great movement. "Learn by doing kind things under their teacher's direction to be good citi zens of this great country which we all love." was the way President Wilson put it. AVhen a school has once joined the Junior Red Cross it can engage in any form of patriotic service which the government has approved, it can work for war sav ings; it can plant school gardens; it can engage in salvage work of the raw material board; it can help the Food Administration or the Council of Defense. Every sweater that these children knit, every Joseph's coat they sew, is just as truly a piece of Lebanon Valley College Plans to Raise Fund ! Plans for the launching of a drive j lor $350,000 for Lebanon Valley Col ; lege, Annville, were outlined at a i meeting of men and women connect jed with that institution, held in 'the Central Y. M. C. A. building yester day. Members of the college faculty and others, including Congressman Aaron S. Kreider, president of the board of trustees and director of the campaign: Dr. G. D. Gossard, presi dent of the college; C. M. Coover, and .the Rev. W. H. Weaver, treasur er. all members of the financial com mittee, were among those present. Plans for the campaign were first discussed in the Sixth Street United Rrethren Church several months I ago, when a conference was attend ed by a number of ministers, who | are heartily in sympathy with the movement. United Brethren minis- ; ters of this section are arranging to , co-operate with the campaign in every way.

The children of three Germans and the children of Russians and Hungar ians are the thrifty ones. Some are S3OO bonds; others the SSO variety. Two scholars, newsboys, earned every cent to make the purchase by working. A tall stalwart boy of German descent was pointed out as the owner of two Liberty Bonds and two Baby Bonds. He is only 14 years old and can also make a Joseph's coat. Since the majority of its mem bers Joined the Red Cross. Penn fcchool, a comparatively small estab lishment and made up almost ex clusively of children of foreigners, has turned out a goodly quantity of sweaters, scarfs, wristlets and socks. At night the girls get together in parties and work, instead of going to the movies. The boys are just as industrious and become expert with the needles. This reminds us that the absolutely perfect sweater, according to judgment of Red Cross officials, Is being furnished by the yardmaster of the Rnola yards. He has delivered four which the women say will defly all and any criticism. The work of this man has been valuable, not only for the product but for the example he has set. Hundreds are now trying to duplicate his skill. Up to date twenty schools out of the twenty-four in Harrisburg, are engaged in this campaign and it is expected that all schools will come up to the record set by Cameron, which has all of its 83 3 pupils en rolled. Susquehanna township is fall ing in line and Coxestown, Williams town, Binglestjjwn and Pleasant View, are organized. The four pa rochial schools, under Mrs. David Tracy, are deep in the industry and even the private schools devote Monday afternoon every week to the work. The Joseph's coat might sound like a trilling matter, but it is not. The boys secure patches of substantial elbth, of any color, and sew these patches together. Lined and filled it makes a tine comforter and is great ly in demand not only by soldiers, but from the destitute women and children. Learning to handle a needle the boy rapidly becomes efficient in other things, and many are now turning out tip-top sweaters, stock ings, helmets and scarfs. In a few days a series of prizes will be an nounced, in the shape of banners to be hung up in the winning schools. Taft Will Represent Capital at Meetings By Associated Press Washington, Feb. 26.

COMMISSION IS VICTOR IN APPEAL Supreme Court Sustains Con tentions in Ohio Valley Water Case A victory was won by Bon Avon, McKees Rocks, Bellevue and West View boroughs, the township of Stowe, Allegheny "county, and Wil liam B. Dawson, a taxpayer, and the Public Service Commission in the Supreme Court yesterday when Jus tice Potter handed down an opinion sustaining the appeal from the judg ment of the Superior Court reversing an order of the Public Service Com mission in which it a schedule of rates to be charged by the Ohio Valley Water Company, based upon the value of the property as ascer tained by the commission. The Su perior Court had directed the Public Service Commission to reform its valuation in certain definite particu lars, and upon that valuation fix a schedule of rates which would cover expenses and depreciation, and would yield a return found by the commission to be fair. The principal matter of disagree ment, it appears, was the valuation to be placed on what is known as the Neville Island property in the Ohio river, on which the water com pany located its pumping station and several wells. It appeared from the testimony of experts before the commission, bow ever, that the water supplied from the wells 011 the islands does not come froin the Ohio river, but from a stream beneath the rock bottom of the river, and the bar -sand on the island is of no value whatever as a filter for the river water, as claimed. Russian Engines Run on Harrisburg Division; ' Haul Rutherford Trains The Russian engines received by the Reading, twenty-four- in number, are now being employed 011 the Leb anon Valley and East Penn divisions. Most of the trains taken from Ruth erford yards for the east are now double-headed as far as Robesonia. From there to Heading one loco motive can handle the train with ease. All through trains, that is, those bound for East Penn Junction and beyond, are assisted up the Temple grade and as far east as it is neces sary. On the Harrisburg division three of the latest type of freight locomo tives built for the Russian govern ment and confiscated by the United States government are in service. The locomotives were especially built for mountain and night traffic. The firedoors are concealed and the exhaust is muffled to prevent being detected by aircraft. They are byilt higher but not as heavy as the 1700 type of the Read ing and are a slower locomotive and entirely new design. v . Railroad Notes h. C.

RAILROAD RUMBLES DINING CAR MAN DOES NOT COUNT Supreme Court Reverses Su perior Judges 011 Full Crew Decision Philadelphia. Feb. 20.—The Supreme Court, in ■an opinion by C.hief Justice Brown, yesterday re versed the Superior Court and af firmed the original order, holding that railroads cannot count the manager of a dining car as a brake man, but must have a regular brake man to comply with the full crew law. In the operation of a train on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad it was pointed out by the Commission, the question as to the status of the dining car manager arose. This train consisted of an engine, an ex press car, baggage car, diner, two passenger cars, two Pullmans and one parlor car. As to live members of the crew with which this train was manned there was no dispute but the controversy arose over thte sixth. • Members of Crew The five of the crew were the en ginemail, fireman, conductor, bag gageman and flagman. The com pany contended that the conductor on the dining car, whose duties were to assign passengers to their seats and to give out blank orders for meals, should be regarded as a brakeman, who could be called upon if the duties of a brakeman were re quired. The Supremo Court discussed the duties of this member of the crew, who, it characterizes as manager of a dining car, and holds that, he is not the brakeman designated by the provisions of the full crew act. Justice Brown pointed out that the law demanded a brakeman on the train at all times to perform the duties of a brakeman, and not a man who could be called upon for emergency service. The Supreme Court, therefore, reversed the rul ing of the Superior Court, which llrst heard the case and had decided that the dining car manager might be regarded as a brakeman.

Reading Hauls Many Cars From Hard Coal Mines j During the last forty-eight hours | the Reading Railway Company j brought down from the mines 2,267 j cars of anthracite. The largest sin gle day's shipment was on Sunday, when the total reached 1,367 cars. During the same period the company transported over the Reading and Harrisburg divisions 28,72'! cars of coal and merchandise freight. This was the best record made on the Reading for weeks, indeed since the cold weather set in early in the winter. An official of the Reading company stated that it may take some time before it will be possible to get back to normal as far as the mines are concerned. He said that the trouble Is either due to a shortage of man power or short hours at the mines.

I often have occasion to tell a pa tient suffering from stotoiuch trouble, hilliousness, rheumatism, neuralgia, gout and uric acid disorders, back ache, headache, lack of energy, kid ney or bladder complaints, etc.-, etc., that his body is manufacturing pois ons and impurities faster than it is eliminating them. What the system then needs more than anything else is a thorough cleansing. or it will never function properly, but will simply go from bail to worse. The live or six pints of blood in the body (about one. twentieth tin* body's weight) pass through the kidneys, for instance, every minute or so. It lias therefore been calculated that the kid neys in filtering this blood over and over, take care of about fifty to sixty gallons in volume, every hour. 1< rom it they extract a great quantity of impurities, and if the kidneys are not flushed out occasionally they soon become clogged and sluggish from overwork. This does not neces sarily mean that there is anything wrong with the organs themselves, if an ordinary water filter becomes l'ouled, it not only will fail to filter water as rapidly as it should, but the water will contain pearly as many impurities when it comes out of the filter as when it was put in. Yet there would he nothing mechanical ly wrong with the filter itself. It would simply need flushing out and cleansing. 1 have referred to the kidneys above as an example, but of course the same principle applies to all organs of digestion, filtration, se cretion and elimination. Many sufferers, when they are wealthy enough to afford the great expenditure of time and money re quired, travel hundreds or thousands of miles to visit world-famous alka line mineral springs. Such springs Are you going to move this spring? There will be a large number of people who will have to move this spring, and the question arises, Where will they move? "Houses For Rent" are very scarce. Most real estate men will tell you that they won't have many houses to rent for the first of April. Why not own your own home ? Many dealers in the city are offering homes for sale at very reasonable prices and terms. Some terms are so low that you pay the same as rent. Why worry when you can be the ruler of your own destiny (as far as where you live is concerned)? Read the classified columns of the TELEGRAPH for numerous opportunities where you can buy a de sirable home. Reliable dealers use the Telegraph to tell the public what they have to offer. Follow it up and see for yourself how advanta geously you can own your own home with the terms offered by these dealers.

DIED OF FRACTURED SKULL Marconi De Sylvester, 306 Cherry street, died at 8.25 o'clock Uiis morn ing of a fractured skull. DeSyl vester is reported by other occupants of the same house to have come home at 11 o'clock last night. It is said he fell down the stairs when on his way to bed. He was rushed ' to the Harrisburg Hospital. as Carlsbad, Vichy, Vittel, Chatel Guyon, Ems, Weisbaden, Marienbad, Contrexeville, etc., are all Btrongly alkaline, and visitors are simply obliged to drink an abundance of the water every day until their systems are thoroughly flushed out and cleansed of all impurities or disease causing poisons. After that, their digestive and blood-purifying organs of course work all right again, just as an automobile engine works better when an accumulation of carbon is cleaned out of it, or a fire burns bet ter with chimnoy cleared of soot and grate cleared of ashes. With his blood pure and his whole system feeling the good effects of the alka line mineral water cleansing it has received, the visitor returns honn with wonderful accounts of how his ailments disappeared almost us though by magic. He could have produced the same effect by drinking alkaline min eral water at home. It is only necessary to add to plain hot water certain essential mineral consti tuents, such as magnes ium. sodium, lithium, cal cium, etc., found in the waters of the natural springs and long since exactly ascertained by chemical analysis. The best way, and in f fact the only satisfactory • way I know of, to pre > pare the water at home is to obtain the neces- Typical specimens .of uric neld crystals, highly magnified. -\o wonder they hurt!

The average dose ' is H level teaspoonful dissolved in a , tumbler of hot water and it forms a very palatable drink with no dis agreeable bitter, salty, sour or other wise objectionable taste. Unlike pills or many nauseous medicines, sails, syrups, etc., it is very suitable for children, but of course should be given them in especially weak doses.
