The Horrible Handicap
of Poisoned Blood
The Innocent Suffer Even Unto
the Third and Fourth Genera
tions, But Relief Is Now
in Sight.
It has long been accepted as a
matter of course that the sins of the
fathers must be suffered by innocent
posterity, yet it is hard to become
reconciled to this condition. Tho
heritage of physical infirmity is a
handicap under which thousands
must face the battle of life.
Scrofula is probably the ••mdst no
ticeable of the transmitted blood
disorders, though there are other
more severe diseases 'of the blood
that pass from one generation to
another. No matter what inherited
blood taint you may be laboring

MONDAY EVENING,
in our convoy, Bix carrying troops,
four Canadian and two Americans.
We were escorted over toy a British
and an American cruiser. When we
were wltWn two days of England,
the British destroyer fleet took us
through the danger zone Let me
tell you, dear parents, it certainly
was not a nice sensation. We had
two alarm drills, and then we were
told that the next alarm would be
the real thing, meaning that the
ship would be sinking. The British
destroyers then picked us up. This
made us feel much better, but we
slept with all our clothes on. We
wore life belts all the way across.
At 3 A. M. we woke up and found
ourselves in Liverpool.
"The trip across was certainly
fine. We had cots with mattresses.
We also had good food. Wo had
nothing to do all day except one pa
rade. >
"We were in Liverpool from 3 A.
M. to 3.15 P. M., when we disem
barked. The shores were all crowd
ed with people cheering us. There
were mobs of American soldiers on
the piers. We were taken in a troop
train and sent here. You ought to
see the English trains. The engines
are so small that they look like toys,
and the cars are the same, small
and divided into little compart
ments. But those trains can go all
right. They do steadily from 40 to
50 miles per hour.
"England is a most beautiful
country, beautiful land, hills and the
quaintest farmfe you ever saw. The
fields are all green now. It is spring
here now.
"In the middle of the night pass
ing through the coifntry we saw an
air raid. You could see the air
planes, and searchlights, and hear
the guns popping all around us. You
may have read in the papers about
it. It certainly was exciting.
"Wo pulled into . . (depleted by
censor) .. at about 3 A. M. and had
to hike 4 miles to our camp. The
camp is made up of small huts,
thirty men to a hut. We have cots,
and eat in our huts. We have a
Y. M. C. A. and Salvation Army hut.
Your loving son,
Immanuel."
U. S. Senator Has High
Praise For Colored Race
United States Senator Wesley A.
Jones of Washington, paid high
tribute to the colored race before
the meeting of the People's Forum
held last night in Bethel A. M. E.
Church. In eloquent language, he
praised the work of the forutn along
educational lines, and commended the
colored race warmly for its service
to the nation.
It took 14000 years for the white
race to raise from slavery to their
present position, but it has only
taken the colored race fifty years to
come from servitude to their pres
ent elevation, which is equal with
that of the white race." declared Sen
| ator Jones, "and where will the col
ored race be 1400 years from now if
they can advance at the same ratio
as they have done."

state authorities. Similar steps will
be taken during the year in regard
to men rejected by local draft
boards.
Some time ago State Health De
partment officials began looking up
the reasons for rejections of men
at camps after having been passqd
by local boards. In some, districts
the reports showed tubercular con
ditions and requests have been made
at Washington for data on the sub
ject. Some information has been
secured, and the chiefs of the hun
dred or more dispensaries through-,
out the state have been instructed to
look up men residing in their dis
tricts, and offer medical services.
The department is about to estab
lish two additional dispensaries for
genito urinary diseases.
five New Camps—Five camps for
the planting of trees on state forest
lands are tS be established this
spring by the State Forestry Depart
ment. The department some time
ago( issued a call for men to work
in the woodlands on the extensive
reforestation projects for which the
commonwealth has been raising
trees for several years. Enough men
are in sight to warrant opening of
ti\e camps on state lands. Hun
dreds of thousands of trees will bo
set out on the reserves, and water
and coal companies have asked for
many trees for similar work on their
lands.
Trucks Registered* —Heavy gov
| ernment demands for trucks for rnil
j itary use do not appear to have
caused diminution of the registra
tion of solid tired motor vehicles at
tho State Highway Department.
There has been a steady increase In
the number listed and more are now
owned on farms than ever before.
In the cities, # the increase has also
been notable." Coming of spring
weather, has also caused registration
, of cars which had'been stored dur
ing the winter months.
To Protect Deer —Some of the
seven counties of Pennsylvania
whose special closed season on deer
will expire this year, will ask for
extensions to further propagation
plans. There are over a score of
counties in which deer hunting has
been forbidden for the last three or
four years, and through operation
of the game petition law in
quiries have been* made as to proce
dure for extensions. Dr. Joseph
Kalbfus, Secretary of the State
Game Commission, says that the
movement for closing of counties to
ruffed grouse shooting is widely sup
ported.
Papers Filed. Representative
Charles A. Michel, of Pittsburgh, to
day filed a Petition to be a candidate
for the Republican nomination in the

State Militia Company
- to Organize For Drill
To-morrow night will witness in
Harrisburg the beginning of a new
National Guard for thirty enrolled
men have been notified on that date
to report at the Armory for drill and
organization. They are the first units
locally of the Pennsylvania Reserve
Militia which has been authorized by
the Legislature to take the place of
t.he Guard which is not at Camp Han
cock in preparation for speedy move
to France.
The Pennsylvania Reserve Militia
men take a service oath which obli
gates them to obey the orders of the
Governor of Pennsylvania and they
are subject therefore only to calls
within the state. They will be pro
vided a camp In summer just like the
old Guard and wear similar uniforms.
As planned now each company is
to have a quota of sixty-five men
and officers, with the privilege of in
creasing that to 100. Men are enlised
for the duration of the war only and
their term ceases on the return of
the National Guard. The physical re
quirements to get in this volunteer
service are by no means so strict as
for the Regular Army. The minimum
age is 18 years.
High Wind Sweeps City
and Brings Cold Wave
For the second time this year, a 45-
mile gale swept the city yesterday,
bringing in its wake a temperature or
20 degrees, which will last, according
to the local weather bureau, several
days. Considerable damage was done
iibout the town by the high wind yes

I Jerry Street United Brethren Church
was blown oft while the church
services were in progress. Several
flat boats on the river were swamp
ed.

someone would take it as a sure in
dication that gradually everything
would be taken away to other camps
and the camp here abandoned.
The engineer regiment is expected
here in a week or two and the men
will be housed in the mess halls un
til their tents arrive, although some
are of the opinion that barracks will
be built for this outfit, which will
likely number between four and Ave
thousand men. The outfit soon to
arrive is a tank engineer regiment
and when fully equipped will have
sixteen of the big battle tanks which
have proved so successful for thd al

understanding ,that a few of the big
tanks will be furnished the men here
for practice.
