Investigation of the Question has interested Scientists Practically speaking, many people actually begin to die years before they cease to live. Many times you see a comparatively young person with shrunken features and pallor that you might expect to find in a hospital ward. That unfortunate per son is suffering from impoverished blood and every vital organ of the body begins to die the moment the blood becomes impoverished. UNITED MEDICINE CO. BLOOD AND NEUVE TABLETS have been prepared to feed the blood the ele ments it lacks and feed it quickly. The blood needs Iron. Dr. Chase's Itlood and Nerve Tablets contain Iron in a most active and condensed form, so compounded with Nux Vomica, Gen tian and other blood and nerve build ers, that it ean be assimilated or ab sorbed directly. When in perfect health the blood gradually draws these elements from the food you eat. but when the blood becomes impover ished. it must have more direct nour ishment.

THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG *&&£& YELEGKXPH MARCH 21, 1918. WILSON CALLS FOR'ACID TEST' ON CANDIDATES Democrats Want Him to Mix Patriotism With Politics in Campaign Washington, March 21.—President Wilson made two moves yesterday which may be regarded as indicating the active part he will take in the political campaign of the coming summer and fall. This does not mean that the President will leave l'or any length of time the heavy du ties that keep him at the White House, nor that he will give anything but first consideration to the posi tion accorded him in Europe as in ternational spokesman for the Allies in all their dealings or debates with Germany. ' But the President is eager that a Democratic House of Representatives shall be elected next fall. He i* *nl<l to fear that Germany might mlnron strtic the election of u Itepubllcnn HoiiNe n n repudiation of America'* entry or pulley in the nnr. This view IIUM hern urged upon the Presi dent by Democratic leaders In both the llonsp iiiul Senate and they have frankly told him that his personal aid is needed to bring about the vic tories at the polls the Democrats de sire next November. The President realizes that many of the Republican members of the House have been among his staunch est supporters in all matters pertain ing to the war. His sense of fair ness is such that on a question of lcyalty he probably recognizes that many Republican Congressmen will have an equal if not better claim to the patriotic voters' consideration than some of the Democrats. Picks Demoerntn Hirst But whenever the fight resolves it self into an issue between a loyal Republican and a loyal Democrat the President will naturaly throw his support in favor of the Democrat. He feels that to be his duty as head of the party which has twice sent him to the White House. But Mr. Wilson, in a letter sent to be read at an important meeting of New Jersey Democrats last night, warns the leaders of the party in that state, and through them the na tional party leaders as well, that the Democratic party, which appeals to i the voters this fall, must be a bigger, broader, more humane. democracy than ever before has asked the suf frage of the people. "The old party slogans have lost their significance," he says, "and will mean nothing to the voters of the future, for the war is certain to change the mind of Europe as well a3 the mind of America." The Russian revolution and the social unrest apparent in virtually all of the world have not been without their effect upon the President. He already lias expressed his warm sym ; pathies with the struggling masses seeking to throw off thp yoke of au tocracy, so it is not surprising to find in his letter to the New Jersey Democrats the admonition that: "Every sign of these terrible days of war and revolutionary change, when economic and social forces are being released upon the world whose effect no political seer dare venture to conjecture, bids us search our hearts through and through and make them ready for the birth of a new day. a day we hope and believe of greater opportunity and greater prosperity for the average mass of struggling men and women and of greater safety and opportunity for children." New Ministry May Grow From Meeting of War Bureau Heads Wusliington, March 21. —Co-ordi- nation. the greatly overworked slo gan of official Washington, was em ployed by the President yesterday in a demand for more teamwork by war bureaus, whose activities dove tail in many respect. The President did not say that he believed a spirit of full co-operation does not exist, but he expressed the view that by conference and joint consideration of important questions the combined machinery would move more smoothly. At a two-hour conference at the White House the President outlined to a group of five of the leading ad ministrators of special war bureaus his plans for a general speeding up of war plans, chiefly those affecting the industrial and economic fabric of the nation. Aside frbm consideration of the important questions involved in the conference it was expected that a new war cabinet would develop com posed of Bernard M. Baruch, chair man of the War Industries Board: Vance C. McCormick. chairman of the War Trade Board; William G. McAdoo, director general of rail roads: Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the Shipping Board; Dr. Harry A. Garfield, the federal fuel adminis trator, and Herbert C. Hoover, the federal food administrator. Although none of the officials who attended the conference would at tempt to speak for the President in his views on the establishment of such conferences for the period of the war, the fact that he requested them to return for a similar meeting next Wednesday was taken to indi cate his inclination toward regular conferences. The President was brought Into Immediate touch with the problems of the five departments represented. He was understood to have inquired into the most pressing problems of each, and by a general discussion sought to reveal methods by which each bureau chief could be of as sistance to the others. General March Wears New Service Chevron Washington, March 21.—Major' General March, acting chief of staff, ! appeared at his office yesterday with ' a small si-igle chevron on the sleeve - of his uniform blouse, the first ap-' pearance in Washington of this newly adopted mark of actuul serv ice at the front. The single V-shaped mark on the lower sleeve indicates six months' actual service at the front, and offi cers and men are entitled to wear the decoration and additional chev rons for subsequent periods of front line service. HEAVY FINES IMPOSED Andrew Travor, of Marysville, was fined SIOO yesterday after he was convicted in police court on a seri ous charge. C. H. Frichey, arrested with him. forfeited $25 when he failed to appear for a hearing. Oth er fines Imposed yesterday made the total $292. Stella Collier, caught in a raid at 807 Hast street, was fined SIOO for running a disorderly house. Peter Zaro, an Inmate, was fined SSO, and fines were imposed on other in mates. UNCLE SAM ASKED TO AID SCHOOLS Slate Board Calls Attention to the Dangers of Service Being Affected The State Board of Education has adopted resolutions asking Pennsyl vania representatives in both Houses at Congress to urge the federal gov ernment to make special appropria tions so that the teaching forces of the state schools can be kept intact during the war. The resolutions call attention to the demands of indus tries and express fears that the standards of to-day cannot be main tained without aid. Yhe resolutions recite that since the schools are styled the second line of defense, it is the opinion of the State Board that the federal gov ernment "should in this crisis come to the aid of the several common wealths." Congress is asked to make a spe cial federal appropriation to the schools in order that the teaching forces of the several commonwealths may be kept intact." It is further stated that "the present rate of wages in industrial and other activi ties is causing a heavy drain upon BEM, im>l—iiaflg t XITKI) HARRI9BUHG, THURSDAY, MARCH 21, IDIH.

The State Board of Education to day set aside SIOO,OOO out of the balance remaining from the $1,000,- 000 appropriation of 1915 for estab lishment of cdntinuation schools, vocational education and other edu cational propositions for "emergency courses" of the greatest benefit to the government. A committee to decide upon the courses was named and will begin work at once. Of the apportionment, $15,000 was set aside for Philadelphia, SIO,OOO for Pittsburgh and the balance for other cities. The sum of $300,000 was set aside to aid high schools. The board reaffirmed Its position of April 17, 1917, that owing to need of help on farms and in gardens, pupils so engaged could be exempted from attendance at school under the compulsory education law for time actually so engaged. Mli.l. CAPACITIES SURVEYED A survey of the milling facilities in Dauphin county shows that there are six mills producing cornmeal, with a capacity of 31,000 pounds every ten hours. Two mills produce corn flour, one with a capacity of 6.000 pounds every ten hours and the other with a 5,000-pound capacity. All these mills could be run eighteen or twenty hours if necessary, their officials said. , The survey was made in re sponse to a request from the State Administrator that the local Food Administrator do so. DESCRIBES HOW TRANSPORT FOILS U-BOAT ATTACK Harrisburg Boy Tells of His Thrilling Experiences on the Sea Waiting death at the hands of a German submarine crew, straining eyes eagerly for days to catch first sight of a submarine, peppering the silent underwater craft with five inch guns—all this is every day rou tine to Leroy L. Johnson, a young sailor who is in this city during his short furlough here. According to Johnson, the work of manning a transport engaged in transoceanic troop carrying, is one of the most dangerous and fascinating branches of the service in 'which a young American can engage during war times. Johnson a sailor on board the transport liner U. S. S. Van Steuben, formerly the great ocean palace Kronprina Wilhelm, is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward John son, 4 2 Furnace street, Steelton dur ing a short furlough granted him between trips across the Atlantic. He leaves for an Atlantic port Sat urday, as another load of soldiers will soon be taken to the battle fields "over there." A Tlckllsli Moment Johnson related some experiences here yesterday that show the trans port service In which he is engaged is one of the most dangerous in the service. He has made two trips to France, and on the last trip sighted tho periscope of a German subma rine about two miles off, coming to ward the Van Steuben at great speed. "It was a ticklish moment," said Johnson, showing his white teeth in an amiable grin, "waiting for that sub to shoot her torpedo." While the sailors stood by to han dle the lifeboats and life rafts, and everyone on board buckled on a life belt, Johnson said twelve 5-inch guns directed a bombardment against the silent enemy. The shots spurted the water high into the air all around the dodging, ducking submarine, Johnson said, while those on board waited in tense eagerness to see a shot take effect. The gunllre became too accurate for the submarine, finally, Johnson said, and. the peri scope ducked beneath the briny. "We didn't see any oil on the water, either," said the sailor, recounting the experience. Another experience related by the sailor showing the excitement of the service in which he is engaged was that of a ricocheting shell, which killed one man and injured four more during a trip across. The water was rough, Johnson said, and a shrapenel shell shot across the water struck a wave near the vessel, glanc ed back, and the exploded fragments burst among the gun crew. The boat on which Johnson Is stationed has a crew of 1,200, he said, and transports 2,000 soldiers on one trip. It makes one trip a month, the colored sailor said. The second trip It brought back six wounded American soldiers who had received injuries in the front line trenches. Johnson has bene In the Navy three years. Previous to that he serv ed four years in the 24th Infantry, United States Army. He declares the life in the Navy all that could be de sired and he is satisfied with the life, work and treatment. Massacres by Turks Reported by Chambers By Associated Press Berne, Switzerland, Saturday, March 16.—Reports received here from fifteen points in Asiatic Turkey by William N. Chambers, representa tive of the American committe f e for Armenian and Syrian relief, corrob orate recent advices respecting new massacres on a large scale by the Turks. "From reliable sources I under stand the situation in the districts being reoccupied by the Turks is ter rible," said Mr. Chambers to-day. "On the pretext that Armenian bands are at work, the Turks are carrying out general and bloody re prisals. There is serious apprehen sion that similar atrocities are be ing done in the Caucasus." KAIL MILL RESUMES WORK Northumberland, Pa., March 21. After an enforced Idleness of mor* than two months due to inability to secure coal and steel, the Van Alen & Co. nail mill here resumed work to-day. Employment is given to more than 100 men and boyß at good wages. _ | .—■> Dandruff Soon Ruins The Hair ■■ * Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it If you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy avery single sign and trace of it. You will find, too. that, all itching and digging of tlie scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It Is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. 3
