BY SIRS, WILSON WOODROW
To get letters froni friends is one
thing. They have merely chosen a
rather Indirect way of talking to us.
But letters from strangers are dif
ferent; one often gets oddly vivid
impressions of the character and
personality of the writer whom one
has never seen. These letters some
times seem to have a vitality all their
own. a quality which I can only de
scribe as haunting.
I received one of these a day or
two ago. It was very simply writ
ten, and yet it had a force, an indi
viduality. an earnestness which held
my attention. I found my mind re
turning to it again and again.
It was from a little girl only fif
teen years old. who worked in a fac
tory all day and received Jl4 a week.
But she was ambitious to become a
stenographer and typist, and was
consequently taking a course in night
school with this end in view.
"But." she continues, "my parents
do not wish me to keep on at night
school. They say I should not
so because when I complete my
course I will have to work for about
nine ' f ten dollars a week. They
tell me I should be contented to
stay where I am. and stop struggling
to be something else.
"But I am not contented. I want
to do something and be somebody.
It grieves me very much when they
insist that I should not keep on go
ing to school, for my teachers and
other people tell me I am right in
doing so. But I am getting con
fused and I do not know what to
do.
"My parents also call me a
spend thrift, because sometimes after
1 come home from school at night
I buy six cents' worth of Ice cream,
and I usually spend besides ten
cents a day.

Indigestion and practioally ail forms
of stomach troubles, say medical au

in the stomach. Chronic "acid stom

sufferers should do either one of two
things.
Hither they can go on a limited and
often disagreeable diet, avoiding foods
that disagree with them, that irritate
the stomach and lead to excess acid
secretion or they can eat as they
rlease in reason and make it a prac
tice to counteract the effect of the
harmful acid and prevent the forma
tion of gas. sourness or premature
fermentation by the use of a little
Bisurated Magnesia at their meals.
There is probably no better, safer or
more reliable stomach antacid than
Bisurated Magnesia and it is widely
used for this purpose. It has no di
rect action on the stomach ar.d is not
a digestent. But a teaspoonful of the
powder or a couple of five-grain tab
lets taken in a little water with the
food will neutralize the excess acidity
which may be present and prevent its
further formation. This removes the
whole cause of the trouble and tho
meal digests naturally and healthfullv
without need of pepsin pills or arti
ficial digestents.
Get a few ounces of Bisurated Mag

for either powder or tablets. It nevei

i What a plucky little girl! Only

and ambition which refuses to be

by bodily fatigue.
She works long hours in the fac

■ gather that they object to your ex

It is a crime for a girl of your

the goal rather than upon the way
which leads to it, and the others
are patience and perseverance and
the undefeated spirit.
You are a very splendid type of

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
KIRE COMPANY VS. COI'XCIt. |
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Several days ago you published a
communication entitled "The Fire- •
men's Side." signed by Robert K. Ca- i
hill, president of the Camp Hill Kire,
Company. I read it with interest for ;
the reason that it was an attempted '
reply to a tormer communication of:
my own. igned "Truth,'' which ap- :
peared in your paper.
After reading and considering Mr.
Cahill s communication, 1 measured it
with the foot-rule and found that it
cuvereu sixteen inches of space. I
will not ask for like space, out de- ,
sire to comment upon several fea
tures of said article.
I avow myself the author of the i
brief communication signed "Truth," |
which impelled Mr. Cahill to con- I
sume sixteen inches of space in at
tempting to refute. 1 am held up to I
ridicule because I did not sign my
name thereto. I did not sign my '
name mainly because my communi
cation was called forth by a previous \
article in the Telegraph in the guise
of a news item from the local corre
spondent in Camp Hill, but which. I
was reliably informed, was written
by Mr. Cahul himself, who is not. the
leguiar correspondent of the paper.
This item was unsigned. 1 naturally
thought 1 had an equal right to pre
serve my anonymity. Besides, news
j papers contain fully as many com
munications unsigned by the authors
|as signed. The identity of the writer
is oi no public concern.
< 1 am also denounced for having
1 made in Council the motion for an
| appropriation of twenty-Bve dollars
to the Camp Hill Fire Company <
i and immediately thereafter voting ;
{ against my own motion,
i Mr. Cahill was present at the Coun- j
cil meeting, took notes of its pro
. ceedings, and certainly should know i
the facts. The minutes of Council I
! and the members of that body will |
I corroborate me when 1 declare that
I was not the maker of the motion
referred to. Councilman Bixler has
this honor. After the motion was
j made there was a long pause. It
1 looked as though no one would sec- i
! ond it. The mover asked me to sec
ond the motion, which I did, stating
in the full hearing of everybody that
I did so in order that the matter
might come properly before Council.
It is true that I led the vote against
the resolution. In the rollcall which
; followed my name led the list.
Am I wilfully misrepresented? I
consider that 1 am entitled to the
thanks of the president of the tire
company for seconding the motion
rqeferred to. which would otherwise
: not have been seconded and conse
quently would never have reached a
| vote.
The president of the fire company i
{ stales that they had appointed a ;
J custodian of the firehouse at an an- .
nual salary of twenty-live dollars. I
and suggests that this amount asked :
I of Council might have been used to
pay the salary.
! 1 am in a position to inform Mr. '
I Cahill that the custodian referred to,:
! a most excellent gentleman, has de- •
I clined the position, and therefore this :
I money could not have been used to
j pay the salary. It may be that Mr.
Cahill was not aware of this declina- 1
tion.
The president of the company i
points with pride to the concerts of]
the glee club and the municipal band
provided for the citizens of Camp :
Hill. The.-e entertainments were ex
cellent and I heartily approve of
them. As a private citizen. I was I
a supporter of both. Such entertain- !
ments, however, are not properly the
function of a flre company. We de
mand of it fire protection and not |
social festivities. Private contribu-'
tions. and not borough funds, should I
be employed for this purpose. Mem- ,
bers of Council may be likened to |
trustees, so far as expenditure of i
public funds is concerned, and are !
not fairly subject to criticism when !
they attempt to safeguard the bor- j
ough treasury, unless it can be t
shown that they acted from improper ,
motives.
In my original communication I
which aroused the ire of the.presi-.
dent of the fire company. I stated in I
reply to the charge that the fire com- ;
pany "had never, received any sup- '•
port from the Camp Hill Council" .
that the chemical engine, the chem- j
icals and hose were purchased by the :
borough, which also provides for all
repairs, .and pays an annual rental of
fifty dollars for the privilege of hold- ]
ing Council meetings in the firehouse. .
I have heard no denial of this state
rnent.
Mr. Cahill states that he is "pre-1
pared to prov nat money which was
provided ir. the budget for the flre
company was not used for that pur
pose." I beg to remind my aggres
sive friexil that he is derelict in the
•* Uies of good citizenship, if. know
ing the perpetrator of a public crime,
he does not set the criminal law in
motion for the arrest and conviction
of the offender.
Again he states that "he is pre- !
pared to prove that money which 1
really belonged to the fire companv '
was withheld by the Camp Hill Coun
cil for many months before it was
finally paid the fire fighters." I
might repeat the same comment as'
above to this accusation of council
: manic wrongdoing. It is possible
that the borough, at the time, was
without funds and unable to pav
promptly. In this event, it might be
dubbed "slow pay" instead of dis
honest. Camp Hill is chronically
hard up.
These charges made by the presi
dent of the flre company are serious
ones, and involve the borough offi
cials, and I here challenge him. If he
Is a good citizen, and in possession of
the evidence, to prosecute the offend
ers. He declares that he has the evi
dence, therefore let him at once pro
ceed.
Mr. Cahill ridicules the Council as
a body, because of its inefficiency.
This Is a common complaint against
councilmen. # I question whether the
administration of borough affairs, in
part at least, by a council, is as effi
cient as that by the 'commission form
of government in vogue in some of
the cities of the land. I submit that
Mr. Cahill expects too much of these
poor. Inefficient councilmen. He ex
pects borough affairs to be conducted
In the brisk, aggressive and thorough
H-AJRRISBURG TELEGRAPH
i manner In which he operates his fac
tory. This cannot be done. The head
| of a manufactory is an autocrat, se-
Ilects his assistants and places them I
just where they are the most effec
tive. They in turn hire the help.
Councilmen are elected by popular
I vote for a term of years, and can
j only be removed for malfeasance. I
do not believe that Mr. Cahill would
! seriously claim that the Camp BUI
councilmen. however inefficient, have,
broken their oaths of office and vto- i
: lated the law. If he knows of any
ifflcial malfeasance on the part of;
these gentlemen, it is his duty as a
good citizen to proceed criminally or
I civilly against them. If they are hon
| est. but inefficient, it becomes his
I duty at the time of the next primary
j to see to it that proper men are first
nominated and afterwards elected to
take the place of the present inefft-
I cient councilmen.
I have no criticism of Mr. Cahill as
a man and citizen, but I respectfully
: submit that the aggressive methods
, which have contributed largely to his
, deserved success as a businessman
j may not be equally potential in se-
I curing from Council what he deems
necessary for the company.
Tflere is a homely adage, "You can
catch more flies with honey than
with vinegar." 1 submit this for Mr.
Cahill's consideration. 1 regard it as
applicable to the present situation. ,
Tne councilmen are not "flies." but
ordinary human beings, who are hon
estly trying to serve the community,
i They receive no compensation for'
• their time and effort, and are sub
jected to criticism. Just and unjust.
; ii'om all sources.
The Camp Hill councilmen are a
j fair type of officers in boroughs such
as Camp Hill. We have no Theodore
Roosevelts, Elihu Roots, Charles M.
Schwabs and William H. Tafts in
, Camp Hill borough o; in Council. The
present councilman are honestly
I striving to do their duty under their
! oaths, and under the laws of the
state, and more than this no reason
-1 able citizen can demand.

I To the Editor of the Telegraph:
' The National Liquor Dealers' Jour
nal in its latest issue seems to be
very greatly concerned over the find
ing of "twenty-nine whisky bottles
; tthirty-eight later were found), all
in the lavatory which adjoins Room
i 41J-A," in the House office building at
■\\ ashington. Its article is headed.
"A Sherlock Holmes Needed." and it
goes on to say, "Washington, the
•dry' capital of the United States, can
to-day boast of the finest barroom on
earth."
We presume that if the shock of
this marvelous barroom, "twenty
nine bottles," with the "thirty-eight"
later found, and with all sixty-seven
filled up again, were put up tor sale
even at retail, the seller would reap
a magnificent fortune from it. And
then if the words the Journal puts
into the induth of the janitor be true,
and "between the first and last of the
month 1 collected about three barrels
of empty whisky bottles in these here
marbled halls," how crushing is the
indictment that ought to be passed
against Congress for enacting the
District of Columbia Dry Bill. Be
cause, forsooth, there are men who
will violate the law, if indeed this
be any violation of the present law
then it is the lawmaker that is to
be condemned and not the law
breaker.
Now we do not know just how !
large the vote against the enactment I
of this law by Congress was, but we i
do know that 128 Congressmen voted '
against submitting the national pro- i
hibition amendments to the states i
lining up with the National Liquor I
Dealers' Journal on the question. We
would not affirm that all tnese 12k |
Congressmen "like their drama," and'
we are willing to admit
statement "that certain Congressmen
are outwaru.} uri i )UI
•wet'," and may not be "suffering
from the liquor shortage thut has al
lected the laymen since November 1
last." But might it not be that thev
have at least shown the good sense
to treat the people of Washington
better than they are treating them
selves. if they really helped to pass
the dry law? And might it be a
lair average to say that 128 Con
gressmen like t.o pull at the bottle at
least occasionally, and, like the rest
of the citizens of Washington, have
the legal right to bring it in for
their own consumption? And ts there
any law forbidding them to consume
it in the'- own offices and deposit the
empties in the lavatory on the fourth
floor, next Room A? And then be
sides the Congressmen themselves
there are their clerks, presumab'v of
like tas'Ai with themselves, who
might help rtll the barrels with emp
ties. And BtU further there be manv
visitors to call upon these Congress
men. and these 127 are the ones the
lfquor people will be most inclined to
visit, and who can tell how many. If
not all, of these bottles were brought
Into the building by these liquor lob
byists to quench their thirst in the
midst of their laborious efforts in the
hot fight on their hands to stave off
national prohibition? The sixty-seven
i bottles claimed to have been found
would make about half a bottle'
apiec& for these 128 Congressmen:
but if they had to share with their
clerks and the lobbvists. we can
easily see what a drunken orgv there
must have been in the House office
building during the month in ques
tion! How comes it that the thing
was kept quiet for so long, and now
only the Inoffensive empties brought
before the public for castigation in
stead of the revellers?
Or even if the janitor's words be
true (I take it that if you were to
go to Washington and try to And the
particular janitor, he would be very
emphatic, if you found him. in his de
nial of so saying. He would think
more of his Job than to run the risk
of dismissal for such talk)—l sav,
if even his words be true, that in one
month he collected "about three bar
rels of empty bottles in these here
marble halls,' wouldn't that b<- a
mighty big stock for a saloon to
carry if it desired to satisty tile
thirst of 128 thirsty Congressmen for
a month? We are Inclined to think
that the finding of three barrels of
empty bottles a month ip the lava-
• tory is vastly preferable to the run- |
j ning of a saloon there which would j
j count its empties by many times that l
mar.} empty barrels if it could really I
get the chance.
The Journal says that James A.
Gallivan, the "wet" candidate from
"wet" Boston, "laughed long and
heartily when he learned of the liot- :
tie cache." In his speech against l
making Washington dry. Mr. t.alli- j
van was much concerned about the ,
breeding of lawbreakers under such
a law. who would have their drink In
defiance of the law if it were enacted, j
But when this find Is made and :
brought to his attention he only
'laughed heartily," as if law break
ing. if this were law breaking, was
a thing to be laughed at. Of course. 1
we expect the accursed traffic to vio
late the law on every occasion when
they think they >an do so with im
punity; and one cannot but wonder at
the marvelously high regard for the 1
fitness of things and for obedience to ,
law of all who are interested in the j
propagation of the traffic. The j
shrewdness with which they bring
. the public attention to their mn> j
f.nd various efforts to 'jvatle the Is.v. i
|is also passing Strang?. That I
• i re.-.tst of all lawbr?us.M, tile liq
i uor traffic and its abettors, shou.il ,
•t iways be so concerned abjui the .
breeding of contempt for iaw car j
j only be explained upon the
that they know exactly the kind of j
people they themselves are. And still i
it remains to be explained why they 1
are so ready to spend such large ;
sums of money to defeat prohibition,
when thev at the same time tell you I
that there is more drink used in pro- I
j hibition territory than where theie
is the open saloon. Well, we are con
soled by the fact that soon it will not i
cnlv be a ' dry capital" but "a dry j
nation." and then these Congress- ;
men will not be able to secure the
bottles in Baltimore or elsewhere to
bring into the House office building I
aid cumber the lavatories. Cneer up

worst is yet to come" to the liquor
traffic. It is doomed soon to hang

BOOZE AXI) THE WAR
T > the Editor cf the Telegraph:
There is much to commend inj
your stand on the booze question and ;
for war-time prohibition. It is Rood |
to let your readers know just where
the responsibility rests for the waste |
now going on in foodstuffs, fuel, j
labor and transportation. If thei
kaiser had the power, would he not I
uphold the brewing industry of the
United States as our President has i
done'.' If it were true that wartime!
prohibition would decrease efficiency i
in shipbuilding, then why apply it to!
our soldiers and sailors? If it werej
true that stoppage of the breweries
would put the country on a whisky 1
basis, then why not stop the sale of
whisky? Why was not the brewing
of beer stopped at the same time
that the distillation of whisky was
stopped? Beer is the worse of the,
two, because it is considered so inno
j cent by some. But it is on beer that
the young man begins. If any old
drunkard began on anything than
beer, he is the exception. I know
what I am writing about and un- j
| doubtly know by hard experience j
more about all kinds of booze drink- i
ing than the food administration.
Why do the liquor dealers gloat
lover the fact that Mr. Wilson and
j Mr. Hoover have failed to put the
ban on beer? The leading editorials
' of a June number of the "National
Liquor Dealers' Journal" are head
l ed:

If the action of those that rule
over us so pleases the liquor gang it
ought to be all the more an evidence
of a great wrong. How much service
and patriotism and loyaltv are In
spired by the action?
If it is true that food will win the
war. or in any way help win it why Is
j it not a cfinie, little short of treason
' to waste foodstuffs in the making of
| this German slop—beer? It is so
j much worse than wasted. Beer never
; has and never will serve one good
I purpose or one worthy interest. It is
1 always bad and only bad. It is an
| ally of the kaiser and of the devil,
i We are so grateful however, for
| the good men in the President's Cab
] inet and in Congress who have the
j moral courage to advocate absolute,
j bone-dry, nation-wide, war-time pro-
J hibitlon for native land and God's
sake.
