Dance number* by a pair of lively

Price Advance
For over a year now we
have succeeded In main
taining our old prices,
principally by virtue of a
big increase in sales,
which reduced our over

For our fiscal year end

amounted to over a mil

of 58% over the preced
ing year.
We had hoped to bridge
the war period without a

but we find that our econ

with our rising costs. It is
with sincere regret, there

DOCTORS HAND
OUT LIVE TIPS
They Take the Public Into
Their Confidence
Prominent physicians claim peo
ple fail in life because of "nerve
hunger," that it is the active, bright
eyed, strong-nerved man or woman
who is "there" at work or play.
Strong, well-nourished nerves is
the great secret of success, health
and happiness.
Men and women try to live re
gardless of health, strength, ambi
tion, energy and hope, they exceed
the speed lln}its, wasting nerve
strength and energy and fail to store
up reserve force, afterwards they
only exist, life has no joys.
Without energy, ambition, strong
nerves, and pure blood, one cannot
hope to enjoy the fullest measure of
sucoess and happiness.
A noted specialist says, "Phos
phated Iron brings strength to the
blood, nerves and brain, that it is a
perfect combination of vital ele
ments of great tonic qualities when
taken by 'Nerve-sick humans,' that
it will increase body and nerve en
ergy, restore ambition and staying
powers."
He also says: "If you are the
victim of overwork, worry, excess
of mental and physical forces, have
the blues, and the pleasures of life
are no longer enjoyable, that you
need Phosphated Iron to brace,
build up and put you on your feet
again."

cians and their paf"its getting the

Under the banner of Charles Boyer,
the well-known producer, seven young
women have formed what
At the Is known as "The Petticoat
MaJcHtle Minstrels," a vaudeville act
of unusual grace and qual
ity, now appearing at the Majestic
Theater. This is a singing and danc
ing novelty, full of pep and immense
ly pleasing. There are four othpr acts
on the bill, combining to make a show
that well repays the patrons for brav
ing the hot streets enroute to the
cool theater. Beginning Monday,
Jimmy Hodges and his musical com
edy company of twenty-five persons
will hold the boards at the Majestic
for a full week. The first half of the
week they will play 'The Bet," and
the latter half of the week they will
present "Broadway Jimmy," in which
the Inimitable comedian, Hodges, will
play the title role. Hodges made his
big Harrisburg hit last w4nter when
he appeared at the Majestic in "Pretty
Baby."
Another big achievement is placed
to the credit of the Colonial Thea
ter. The great
"The Still Alarm" screen triumph,
at the Colonial "The Still Alarm,"
will be shown to
day and to-morrow. A gigantic
dramatic spectacle, taken from the
melodrama of the same name, which
has been considered one of the strong
est dramas since back in the eighties.
The lire scenes in the production are
spectacular and bewildering. Satur
day only, Bert Lytell will be seen in
"No Man's Land." Bert Lytell does
excellent work in the role <f the
manly hero. Anna Nilson makes a
charming heroine and tlje role allows
full play for her emotional abilities.
Some tine sets have been used in
filming the outdoor scenes; there are
some cellar scenes that are spooky
and tense; while the marine views
will afford the spectators a treat in
beauty. The picture that will be re
garded with favor by young and old.
"Missing" is said to be a master
production from every standpoint.
The story deals
"MINKIIIB" at the with the fortunes
Regent To-day of a British of
nnil To-morrow Hcer and his
bride. He is re
ported missing, but subsequently re
gains the British lines, his rnind and
body wrecked by shock and mental
suffering, and ultimately is restored
to health when his wife sings a pa
thetic love song, which they had often
sung together during their courting
days. The story is superb and will
surely please all.
Miss Maud Daniels, who manages
"The Rising Generation" Company
that is the feature attrac-
Paxtnng tion at the Paxtane Park
Park Theater this week, has
Theater probably trained more
youngsters for the stage
than any other person, man or wo
man, in the show business. Children
are Miss Daniels' specialty. She takes
them and teaches them the ways of
the stage and the actor with far less
trouble than the average mother has
in teaching her offspring common
courtesy. Miss Daniels says ther.e 4s
not much difference in the abilty of
c hildren, if you get them before they
have been spoiled by environment or
too much praise. Once a youngster
gets what is called in the vernacular
of the day, "a swelled head," he is
useless on the stage. All the kiddies
in "The Rising Generation" think Miss
Daniels the grandest woman in the
world, and there is no reason why
they shouldn't. She gets them to do
their various parts in the show with
out using a cross word. It is a great
juvenile act.
To-day Virginia Pearson, the tal
ented emotional actress. Is starred in
the powerful
"Her Prlee," drama, "Her Price."
nt the Victoria This screen play
will have a particu
lar appeal to girls and young women,
for the reason th.it many of them who
are talented and ambitious leave the
protecting influences of their homes to
go to the big cities to make a name
and mark for themselves. The road to
success is a hard, rugged path and
exacts its price. This remarkable fea
ture tells whether it is really worth
while, after all. Virginia Pearson is
seen at her best in this feature.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
30,000 SOLDIER
BOYS CHEERED BY
CANTEENSERVICE
Harrisburg Red Cross Branch
Furnished Refreshments
to Many Enlisted Men
Thirty thousand soldier boys have !
been furnished refreshments gratuit- j
ously at the Pennsylviana and Read-1
ing stations by the Harrisburg mem-i
bers of 'he Eureau of Canteen Ser
vice, American Red Cross, since the
local committee was organized the
first of the present year.
The people generally of this city
have but little knowledge of the
wonderful good that is being done
by these women for the benefit of
the soldiers, sailors and draftees of
all classes; irrespective of race,
color or conditions. This work is
being now carried on daily in a
systematic manner, and has been so
successful that the city's generosity
has again been heralded from coast
to coast, according to letters re
ceived by Mrs. Francis J. Hall, cap
tain of the Harrisburg branch.
System Perfected
The committee is part of a state
organization with headquarters in
Philadelphia. By reason of an
arrangement with the railroad com
panies notice of the time of the com
ing of the boys is received in ad
vance. The system is so perfected
that there arc no duplications; as
for instance the boys that are met
by the Philadelphia, Altoona or
other committees are not met the
same day in Harrisburg; thus fa
vors are equally distributed, al
though the work at the point is more
difficult by reason of the fact they
come from the north, east, south
and west. Tlie Harrisburg commit
tee in several instances have met
six and seven thousand a week, find
on Monday last gave supplies to 800
colored men from Philadelphia.
It's all worthwhile.
The spirit of the boys on their
way to war is wonderful. True
American hearts all of them, and
every one of them understanding
the principles of true democracy. To
those of a philosophical turn of
mind who have watched the women
going about their pleasant duty,
handing supplies to the soldiers and
offering them words of encourage
ment, see something deeper in the
work than may appear on the sur
face. Many a boy has written a
postal to some dear one before em
barking for France; perhaps his last
letter bearing the postmark of '.his
city. Scores of them with troubled
countenances have been made to
smile and become more content by
reason of a little cheerfulness and
words of help from a Harrisburg
canteen worker.
Appreciate Postal Cards
Perhaps of all the articles that
are given the boys the postal cards
are the most appreciated. They are
stamped by the local committee
without cost to the senders, and
since the committee has taken up
this work in this city, 35,000 of these
stamped postal cards have been fur
nished. The boys are asked to write
home before the trains leave the
station; after which the cards are
censored to see that they do not con
tain any information that the army
regulations prohibit. The boys are
also given chocolate, chewing gum,
tobacco, magazines, newspapers and
fruit in season. Suggestions have
been made that they be furnished ioe
cream, but the great number that
are served in this city and the anort
length of time will not permit this
being done. Not one cent is ac
cepted from the boys for anything
received by them.
Serve Sandwiches
Arrangements have also been made
with several of the restaurant#
whereby sandwiches and coffee are
furnished the boys, but this is only
done upon advance advices from
those having the trains in charge,
and the committee at its own cost
has never snd will not turn down a
request Cor anything desired. Fre
quently passengers at the railroad
stations who witness the activities of
the canteen workers contribute to
the general fund, and only the other
day an old woman whose appearance
indicated she had but little of this
world's wealth, gave a fe wpennies
to a canteen worker with the remark
that she wanted to do something be
cause she had her only son in
France.
It's all worthwhile.
Work Has Wonderful Effect
The general effect upon the sol
dier boys to have some one in a
strange city take a kindly interest in
them; offering them words of help
fulness, a farewell wave of the hand
as they depart, or some other little
kindness is ample recompense of
the immense amount of work that is
being accomplished. In several cases
where there had been trouble on
the trains with the inexperienced
draftees, the appearance at the sta
tion of the Red Cross workers in
their blue uniforms of veil and gown,
handling them articles with a cheer
ing word and smile, has brought the I
men to a keener sense of the realiza
tion and a deeper understanding of
that which is expected of them, and
as the trains leave the station, it can
easily be seen that the kindness
shown is their first great lesson in
this worldly conflict.
Think First of Home Folks
Those who censor the postal cards
—and 35,000 of them have been read
—are given an Insight into the little
secrets, the home life, and the love
cherisned for those who were '.eft
behind. Some of the writings are
pathetic; others humorous, but al
ways the thought is carried for the
welfare of those at home rather
than a selfish idea for the writer's
own welfare. Of the thousands of
postal cards passed upon by the
members of the local canteen com
mittee, a very great majority of
them are written to mothers, but
"Dad" is not forgotten. It is al
ways asking them not to worry; that
their boy will come back, and many
of them express the faith that God
will protect them in battle. Not
cnce do they mention the dangers
that confront; them, but their sole
thought is for the dear ones at
home, and
It's all worthwhile.
Offers to Bring Back Kaiser
One boy from Buffalo possibly a
"wharf rat" in his early life, in a
scrawling hand wrote to his mother
that he was "fine and hope you arc
the same" and as he handed ihe
card to Mrs. W. H. Galther, acting
captain, ne remarked: "Hey, lady,
do you want me to bring the Kaiser
back to you in my suitcase." Hut
recently some Westerners and In
dians arrived at the Pennsylvania
station riding astride of the car
wlpdowe in true cowboy fashion.
RAILROAD
Train That Kills Boy Is

of ten minutes in getting him aboard j
the journey to the city was resumed.!

Their yells could be heard for blocks,
but in every instance when a can
teen worker handed them some
thing, there came the response:
"Thank you, missus; What place is
this?"
The words on the postal cards
speak volumnes. For instance one
man who*e surroundings had evi
dently not been what they might
have, wrote —"Dear mother. Do not
worry. I am coming back to you,
and will be a better man. Show this
to Laura." A Kansas man wrote
to his girl ir. terms of affection, and
added: "I wish you would go and
see mother every day." Then too
a Philadelphia colored man wrote
to his mother to this effect: "I slipped
out as I did not want to see you
| break down and I forgot my bag—
Love from Moe." Another colored
man who was undoubtedly dis
turbed sent this message to his girl
—"Dear Liza. Don't marry until I
come back." This message went to
another mother:—"l have faith in
my Maker; I am willing to give up
my life for my country. God be with
you, mother dear, and we shall pray
for each other." Thousands Of
cards are mr.rked x x x x x x, and
every school child knows what that
means. The members of the com
mittee meet and treat all alike, and
many a postal card contained these
words:—"Good bless the ladles of
the Red Cross."
Need Magazines
Aside 'rom the refreshments that
are served the boys need magazines,
and It Is suggested that any one who
has magazines of recent dates as
semble them in their own or a
neighbor's house and telephone
Mrs. W. IT. Galther, 206 South
Front street, telephone No. 3744,
whereupon the Red Cross Motor
Messenger service will call for tham.
Other contributions will be gladly
received; for Instance recently _a
well-known Harrlsburger furnished
4,000 postal cards bearing the pic
ture of -he capitol, and the words
"Harrisburg Branch, Red Cross Can
teen Service." The local committee
stamped them, and they have gone
and are going all over the United
States. Tho local members of the
canteen committee are enthusiastic
In their praiso of the assistance
given them by the employes of the
railroads, who are doing everything
possible to help In this excellent

PUBLIC AWAITS
NEW SCHEDULES
Changes Will Be Many; Trav
elers Must Move to Suit
Government
Rumors of new schedules for both!
Penns.v and Reading lines are still
in circulation. That some trains will j
be eliminated is not denied. It is'
also said that with the new time j
tables, the traveling public must i
travel to suit the railroads. This
means there is likely to be some|
long waits at points where the main! 1
line connects with branch roads. The ' i
Reading will take care of business
for Penns.v where joint arrange-;
ments have been made, and the \ •
Pennsy will do likewise for Read-j
ing.
Through trains from New York'
to Chicago will be continued.. There'
is a probability that the far west
will be reached with better facili
ties. A dispatch from Chicago says:
Chicago a Way Station
"Visions of Chicago as a way sta
l tion on the line from New York to
| San Francisco, with transcontinental
j trains merely hesitating at this point
instead of passengers being com
pelled to transfer from one road to
another and stay over here perhaps
for hours, were inspired by the trip
of inspection made to Chicago's rail
way terminals by Secretary McAdoo
to-day.
"One of the big ends emphasized
as desirable to be attained by reor
ganizing Chicago's terminals was
agreed to be continuous operation of
through trains from East to West
without the delays and transfers in
cident to thp present system by which
eastern and western roads terminate
at different depots here.
" 'I am just beginning to under
stand the problem,' said Mr. Mc-
Adoo. 'I have known for years, of
course, that the Chicago terminal
situation needed improvement, but
there are great difficulties to be over
come. However, I hope we shall be
able, with the present facilities, to
work out a plan which will give
better service.' "
I .ess Duplications
The action of the Federal railroad
administration in eliminating dupli-
I cations in service on lines between
I Philadelphia and Atlantic City will
not affect the trains between Read
| ing and Philadelphia, according to
I local authorities. The changes con-
I sist mostly of rearranging trains
running at the same hours, and dis
tributing" the service over both
roads. The new arrangement was
announced by C. H. Markham, re
gional director of railroads, in Phila
delphia, to become effective on
I Thursday. Local and excursion
j trains on each line, as well as elec
tric trains will be continued as at
1 present. No change will be made in
, the Sunday service on either line.

WOMAN SAVED

tried every

I did, and through it, I found relief
from my suffering and I really believe
it saved my life. }t does not seem as
though I can say enough in praise
of this wonderful medicine f6r the
health it has brought me." —Miss
Cora Lee Hall, West Plains, Mo.
Perhaps it may seem an extrava
gant statement to say that this
great remedy saved a life; but wom
en like Mrs. Hall, to whom it has
brought health, appreciate the dan
ger and suffering they have escaped
too well to doubt it. All who suffer
should try it. Why risk life and
health without It?

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos conta'in too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
niulalfled cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex
pensive noaps or anything else all to
pieces. Vou can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. It
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy
to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt
and dandruff.
