Appetite For Honey Brings Soldiers Trouble WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IX FRANCE, March 16.—There are certain members of the American expeditionary forces whose appetite for honey has brought them into difficulties with the Provost Marshal. There are dozens of complaints from French farmers that roaming Ameri can soldiers have carried off bee hives. In some cases the hives have been found minus the honey, while in others the soldiers did not have time to extract it, before the provost guards came around and rescued the hives and returned them to their owners. One hive-hunting guard was well stung during a rescue. It went through nearby commands hoping to identify by bee stings the men who had removed the hives from a hill a couple of miles away. They were unsuccessful for there was not a sting on any soldier's face or hands. The provost has come to the Conclusion that there are many American soldiers who had some thing to do with bees before coming into the army. lt is Your Duty to Buy Shoes Made in Harrisburg Shoes and Pumps |||f SrlSsß.oo yljf\^ All or tops.

' Have you been knitting in all your spare moments for months, only to be met on your last request for yarn with the new regulation that yarn must be paid for? •Do you feel tha't this new Chapter policy is entirely contradictory to the urgent need for knitted goods? Do you feel that it is particularly unreasonable in view of the fact that you, who are too busy to help in other ways, can find time to knit, and are charged for the privilege of doing ao? Heads of the Harrisburg Red Cross Chapter ask you to reserve jour judgment on these questions un til you read in detail the difficulties of the Chapter, who are responsible to you for the wise handling of the money which you have contributed. The following figures show just what the purchasing of yarn has cost: ' Total Tarn Months. Supplies. Alone. August, September 4,807Jf: $2,330.60 October, November 8,260.50 3,633.97 December, January 23,935.87 17,841.26' February, March.. 20,852.61 10,858.00 From April 1, 1917, to February 1, 1918, $35,000 was spent for yarn alone, but tills does not show the sit uatior so clearly as the fact that on February 1 the yarn department was costing more to maintain than the surgical dressings and the hospital garments combined. Yarn which in April of last year cost $2 a pound was costing $2.50 in February. Therefore, the Chapter executive committee and the special committee appointed to consider the question were confronted with three alterna tives: First, either the Chapter must limit its knitted work to the small amount which the Chapter in view of its other responsibilities could finance; second, or it must seriously hamper and cut down the amount of garment and surgical dressings pro duced, so that all the money could be spent for yarn; third, or it must ask its knitters to keep on knitting and find extra contributions to the Red Cross in the form of part pay ment for the yarn, and ask its mem bers who do not knit to help support a free yarn fund for the benefit of those expert knitters who turn in so much work that it would be impos sible for them to pay for even a por tion of the material required for each article. The first plan was rejected because the committee thought that it would reduce our output too drastically. The second was rejected because, al though the sweaters and other warm knitted things are eagerly requested by our soldiers and much appreciated by them, they can hardly be ranked in importance with the surgical dressings and hospital garments upon which our hospitals in France are largely dependent. The third plan was adopted be -26,000 Interned by Swiss Republic Is Burdened by Great Number of Prisoners Berne, Switzerland.

Don't Experiment With Catarrh; It Often Leads to Dread Consumption You Will Never Be Cured by Local Treatment With Sprays and Douches Catarrah is a condition of the blood and can not be cured by local applications of sprays and douches; thit. has been proven by the thou sands - who have vainly resorted to this method of treatment. Catarrah should not be neglected or experimented with. The wrong treatment is valuable tijne lost.

Though Catarrh makes its first appearance in the nostrils, throat and air passages, the disease be- cause the committee thought that, although the output would be reduced to a certain extent, it would not se riously be hampered if the .knitters understood how important their con tributions to this fund were. We expect alj our frfie yarn to be used each month. Our only regret 13 that the supply will be sufficient only to fill the demand of our most experienced knitters. This Chapter is not the only one confronted by this dilemma, however. The Pittsburgh Chapter, one of the wealthiest in the state, has teen oompelled to discon tinue distribution of free yarn. The enormous yarn expenditure to February 1 resulted in the following output: . Sweaters, 5,071. Pairs of socks ,1,713. Wristlets, 2,288. Mufflers, 4,006. Helmets. 1,048. Therefore, if you do not knit, please contribute to the free yarn fund, so that others may not need to reduce their knitting. If you do knit, and can possibly afford it, please keep right on and pay the small amount asked for the yarn for each article. YOUR SICK CHILD IS CONSTIPATED! LOOKATTONGUE Slurry, Mother!
