The dem'ands from businessmen and Uncle Sam for bookkeepers, ac countants, stenographers and office managers has been greater during the past year than ever before. Since September the School of Commerce has filled many high grade positions, more than forty of its graduates have since then entered the govern ment service and many more are now in training. Many who had a be ginning salary of $1,200 are now re ceiving $1,400 a year. Other gradu ates have been placed in positions paying from $25 to SSO a week. To day, many calls for help were receiv ed, several being exceptionally good —a girl's service for SBO a month and two opportunities for boys—one SIOO and the other $l2O a month. Any boy or girl, man or woman, who desires to earn a good salary, can do so, but he must work and train in the right way. Grammar, High School, Normal School, College students teachers —married men and women—people of leisure and wealth are being trained in the School of Commerce for these splen did opportunities. The far-seeing, ambitious ones are refusing to accept positions before completing the course, knowing well that when they have passed every requirement of the school, they are better qualified for the higher positions. This school has been pronounced a good, first-class, standard school by the National Association of Ac credited Commercial Schools, the highest authority on commercial education in America, and it pre pares for commercial teaching as well as for office work. A leading textbook firm has promised to place as commercial teachers all graduates trained and recommended for that work. Progress is being made in all edu cational fields, but nowhere is it more pronounced than in the private commercial school. The recent es tablishment of Accredited Commer cial Schools is a long forward step for business education. Accredited schools offer approved courses of study, maintain good equipment, em ploy excellent specialist teachers, follow modern of instruc tion, and in every other way work toward the development of the very highest standards in business edu cation. They are pledged to avoid exaggeration or misrepresentation in their advertising. Their graduates are enrolled in the universal em ployment department of the associa tion and are entitled to the services of any accredited school in the country to help them in securing a position. There are many other ad vantages to be enjoyed that cannot be had elsewhere. It is impossible for any one to do faithfully and earnestly the work laid out for the standard commercial course offered by accredited schools without acquiring those habits of thoughtfulness and care that make for the highest degree of proficiency in business life. The necessity for young people securing special training has been forcibly pointed out by Secretary of War Baker, who says: "Nobody knows how long the war is going to last. But we do know that when this war is over there will be need on evefry hand for trained and schooled people to bring about the great re habilitation of industries and the re construction- of a stricken earth." You want the Host —-To be School of Commerce Trained is to be effi cient. The day school is in session every day except Saturday and the evening school and Civil Service classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Remember that visitors are always welcome —that information about work being done and posi tions filled will be gladly given— that a catalog will be mailed or a representative will be sent to see you upon request, by D. L. M. Rak er, principal and proprietor, School of Commerce and Harrisburg Busi ness College, Troup Building, 15 South Market Square. "Music in the Home" Easily Fulfilled There are a great many music lovers who have not been able to ful fill the slogan, "Music in the Home," for the simple reason they have not been able to save up the money. Necessarily they have had to so to a concert or some entertainment in order to hear music. That same money paid monthly will soon pay for a piano or phonograph. H. G. Day, who conducts a music house on the Hill, out of the high rent district, is selling a large num ber of musical instruments in this way. His terms are most liberal. You can use the instrument while you are paying for it. Mr. Day's store is located at 142 7 Derry strefet. A new building has just been completed and all the lat est musical instruments are offered for sale. Spring Repair Work Brings Rush in Hardware George Haverstick, the Penbrook hardware merchant, is very enthu siastic in speaking of the big sea son ahead in the hardware business. Economizing in all branches, the people are doing their own repair work, and therefore need tools to do it with. The past winter has also been a hard one on paint and roofs and so on so that a good bit of repair work will be done. Mr. Haverstick sells all kinds of hardware, cutlery, tools, paints, oils, glass, house furnishings, farm and poultry supplies, sporting goods and bicycle supplies. He is located on the Square in Penbrook. Latimer Willis JUOO N. THIRD STREET Engraving) Photographic Suppllea, Circulating Library I,rather Uoods.

Located on Bridge Street Through an error last week, it was announced in these columns that the New Cumberland Auto Com pany, Brooks Weigle, proprietor, 'was located in Sixth stret. A3 a matter of fact this garage is located in Bridge street. Little slips like this will happen to the best of us, but due to the fact that the New Cumberland Auto Company and Mr. Weigle are so well known on the West Shore we think this was over looked by the majority of readers and to those who are not acquainted with New Cumberland (the writer isn't) we will say that they can find Mr. Weigle in Bridge street. Mr. Weigle is the West Shore dis tributor for the Ford Car and also sells all kinds of supplies and auto accessories. Home-Made Candies More Wholesome For Children So long as there are any children left, that long will the kiddies want candy. Pure, wholesome candy will not hurt any of them. If it is pos sible to get good, old-fashioned, home-made candy that is the* kind to give them. Some kinds of candy will make the majority of children sick. C. R. Anderson makes good home-made candies and sells it .at very reason able prices. He has a stall in the Chestnut street market (Number 69) and also conducts a store at the corner of Fifteenth and Derry streets. Special Sale of Coffee Every Day Many a time a person sees an advertisement announcing a special sale of such and such an article. That is the time to buy that article if you arc in need of it. A good many stores have special sales every day, mainly grocery stores. There is usually some article, the price at which it is sold, con sidering its quality, makes it in a way a special sale. For instance, C. E. McAlicher scMs good steel-cut coffee every day at twenty cents a pound. This is a special sale price and an exceptionally good quality. He also sells staple and fancy gro ceries, fresh fruits and vegetables. Gem Tea Co.

APVKRTISKMENT March and April Last Months of Oyster Season The oyster season for 1917 and 1918 will soon draw to a close. March and April will wind up a big season in the oyster trade. Owing to the extreme cold and severe winter weather, which we have just gone through the supply has not been equal to the demand, but now that warmer weather has set in the sup ply will be all that is expected. Russ Fish Market in Market Square have had oysters all winter, notwithstanding the cold weather, and are just as much prepared now to deliver the best grade of all kinds of seafood.

Abdominal Belts Are Big Benefit to Many Just after an operation it is nec essary to take a certain amount of precaution. I ti s more or less de sirious to use something that can easily be adjusted than it is to use bandages or the like. This is where abdominal belts prove their useful ness. They are easily adjusted and can readily be taken off or put on. Abdominal belts are made by the Piker Artificial Limb Company at their shop in Sixth street just above Harris. They also make trusses, ankle and knee braces and all kinds of artificial limbs. All the latest and most modern improvements are applied to this work, which is under the supervi sion of Mr. Piker who has been working along these same lines for the past thirty years. Satisfaction is guaranteed and all estimates are cheerfully given. Auto Season Will Soon Be in Full Swing Good old spring is on its way fast. The last few days have brought on the auto fever with all its good times and hard luck. Rut among the many joys derived from the auto bug is that of being able to get out after a hard day's work to some good hotel and having an old-fash ioned chicken or turkey dinner. After a short spin, inhaling good fresh air, you sure do have an ap petite fit for a king, and when you know a good place to go to appease that appetite, oh boy ain't it a grand and glorious feeling. A lot of people in Harrisburg know of the Coxestown Hotel, where the real kind of dinners are served to auto parties and pedestrians along the river road. The hotel is located in Coxestown about three miles up the river. If you want to surprise yourself some evening take dinner at this hotel. Italian Becomes Rich Just Blacking Shoes Williamsport, Pa.—The shoeshin ing business in Williamsport is so prosperous that Bartholomew Llp poli, an Italian resident, to-day add ed a $50,000 property in Market Square, the center of the business district, to his holdings. Lippoli, who came to Williams port less than eighteen years ago a poor man, now owns property valued at nearly SIOO,OOO. The secret of his success ie his thrift and the aid given him by his wife and several boys and girls, all of whom have shined thousands of shoes. Two of his boys are in the Army. He started a shoeshining estab lishment and in a short time had opened two other such places. All paid big through family labor, and he invested hi ssavings in real estate. He now owns three business build ings and two dwellings. ADVERTISEMENT Saturday Bath the Vogue For Seventy-five Years One of the most depressing pieces of literature of recent times will have to be charged against H. L. Mencken who, in the Evening Mail, calls our sorrowing attention to the fact that December 20, 1917, has come and gone without any public celebration to mark that day as the seventy-fifth anniversary of the his toric bath in which .dam Thomp son, of Cincinnati, n 1 ide history. There is a romanccabout the bath tub that is fascinating. Mr. Mencken, who has dipped deep into the wa ters of time, tells us that Mr. Thompson, who dealt in cotton and grain in the Ohio city, and who went abroad occasionally byway of the Ohio and the Mississippi and New Orleans, learned while in Eng land of the remarkable fad that Lord John Russell had introduced. It seems that his lordship had fixed up in his home a remarkable con traption—a sort of glorified dishpan —and now and then, with the aid of a servant, laved his hide. Despite the ridicule to which he was subjected by this unusual prac tice his lordship obstinately persisted in the belief that it did him no harm. We ever have been wont to ape the British and Mr. Thompson, when he returned to America, be gan to think of ways and means whereby he might do as his lordship did. Being wealthy he was able to indulge himself in many ways. Therefore, he had a pump fitted on to the well at his homo in Cincinnati. Six colored gentlemen worked this pump assiduously and managed to hoist enough water to fill a cypress tank in the garrett of the Thompson mansion. That furnished a supply of cold water. As the weather was cold, Mr. Thompson, who was a bit of a genius, rigged up a coil of pipes in the chimney and the heat from the large grate fires warmed the pipes and the water within. The tub that was the Adam of all bathtubs was a noble and notable addition to the world's possessions. It was designed on Mr. Thompson's order by a cabinet maker and its ma terial was mahogany. It was 7 feet long. 4 feet wide and weighed 1,750 pounds. To insure the tioor from collapsing under its weight the beams were reinforced and strength ened. Celebrate in 1942? Why wait un til then? We have heard of per sons who celebrate every Saturday night. The bathtub is recognized now as a very useful piece of furniture. There are few structures in New York worthy of consideration that are without bathtubs. Queer stories are told in connec tion with them. A truthful lady who lives in Eighty-Third street, Brooklyn, solemnly declares that a tenant in one of the houses which she owns reported one winter that the bathtub was out of order and she couldn't explain how it happen ed, as it hadn't been used in six months. On the other hand, a Tammany leader came near losing control of the "organization" when it became known that he had taken as his so cial mentor a gentlemen addicted to two baths a day. To-day the modern bathtub is an asset in every home. What would the multitude do without their usual bath? And how different the bath tub of to-day is from that of yester day. Those days it was a luxury only the millionaires could enjoy, while to-day they are within the means of every one. M. H. Baker and Co., plumbing and heating outfitters, install mod ern and up-to-date bathtubs. They are equipped to do all kinds of plumbing work on short notice. At the present time they have equip ment to do all kinds of work. War Time Lexicon (Copyright, 1918; by Rritish-Cnnu illan Recruiting Mission which main tains depots in all large cities where men except Americans, may volun teer.) Bivouac: An encampment in the open with out tents. Counter Attack: An attack made immediately after losing a position, to recover the lost ground. Rations: The scale of food allowed to each soldier; the regular apportionment of food. Aerial Photograph: A photograph taken from an aero plane as it circles above the ground. The supremacy of the British air fleets has made it possible for the allies to know very exactly by means of aerial photographs, all the move ments of the enemy and the strength of their lines. This information is used in making maps of tape in fields behind the trenches, where plans of attack can be rehearsed with great accuracy. Each soldier knows the precise distance and di rection of that part of the enemy line which he is to reach. The best height of the aeroplane for taking these photographs is 600 feet. Elaine: Another French word adopted in to the English. It means "spirited." For instance, an official report says our troops attacked with great elaine, meaning "with great vigor."
