TARIFF REVISION
MUST COME SOON,
SMOOTWARNING
Senator Fears U. S. Markets
Will Be Held by For
eigners
Washington, Dec. 17. —An earlj
revision of the tariff was predicted
yesterday by Senator Smoot, of Utah,
during the debate on the pending
revenue bill. Either a tariff revision
must be made, he declared, or the
American markets will be controlled
by foreigners.
Changed conditions as a result of
the war and the necessities of safe
guarding the native industries dur
ing the reconstruction period. Sena
tor Smoot contended to make im
perative a revision of the Under
wood-Simmons tariff law.
Senator Jones, of New Mexico,
asked if it was expected to substi
tute the Fayne-Aldrich law for the
Underwood-Simmons act.
"It would be a godsend to the
country, as compared with the one
now on the statute books," Senator
Smooth replied. "Yet 1 will say there
are rates in the Pavne-Aldrich law
that will never bo enacted again."
An Inquiry was made by Senator
Sltnmons as to whether it was
thought tariff legislation should bo
enacted during the expected extra
session early in 1919.

Thurston, without Mophistoplielian
peak-pointed mustachios. is the high
priest of modern magic; in addition to
his natural gifts he has all the ac
complishments and ilgiit-tlngered
deftness of all former great magici
ans rolled into one lengthy and skill
fully varied program. He is coming
prepared to demonstrate anew that
he remains superbly alone in popular
amusement pre-eminence; that in pro
digious proportions, splendid equip
ment, modern progress and public es
teem he is now "the greatest magician
on earth."
After he succeeded Kellar, twelve
years ago. Thurston departed from
the usual path 'hen trod by magicians
and set for himself a high standard
cf perfection that has been character
istic of his success, for he sought for
novelties, for the big creations and
the most wonderful illusions.
There is a finish and a bigness in
Thurston's performance this year that
is both pleasing and overwhelming,
the most prominent of his new mys
teries for this year deal with life in
the afterworld, such as the manifes
tations of spirits and the materializa
tion of ghosts.

I own. "Billie" Reeves, the famous ino-
I tlon picture comedian, is also on the
bill. This popular player, who has
I made thousands laugh on the screen,
I is just as funny in person, and as the
"drunk." in the comedy, "The Right
Key but the Wrong Flat." he keeps
everyone in uproarious laughter. An
other good comedy number on the bill
is Walter Weems, who posseses a
pleasing personality, and lias a line of :
j material which •he puts over in a
pleasing manner. Hart and Diamond
present a novelty dance offering that
is entertaining. Miss Hart is a wo
man of remarkable muscular develop
ment and holds the record of dancing
for sixteen continuous hours. Flo

charmingly.
That the popularity of Wallace
Reid is steadily or. the increase and
liis reputation for veratility
At the and artistry proportionate-
Itegciit ly enhanced with each pro
duction, was evident in the
bursts of enthusiasm and approval
with which "The Source" was greeted
by those who viewed this ""eduction

bill,was the Sennett Comedy, "Beware

To-morrow's offering is "The Law

this absorbing photoplay the star por
trays the role of Alain De Montcalm,
a strong man of the North, known as
the "Eaglet." The scenes of the story
are laid in and about a trading post
at "the top o" the world," amid the
white silence, peopled only by wild
beasts, Indians and trappers. The

ally fine one, including Doris Lee and

Who was the unknown murderer
who cut short the human life, and
what was the motive? Was it re

The Chiefs of Police Association's
bureau for the recovery of stolen
automobiles, with headquarters in
Harrisburg, was scored in a com
munication sent by Paul C. Wolff,
secretary of the Penhsylvania Motor
Federation, to the secretaries of all
motorists' associations throughout
the state, urging them against pay- ■
I ing the fees of the proposed bureau.
The secretaries have been asked
I to send copies of the communication
to all their members. J. Clyde My
ton, secretary of the Motor Club, of
Harrisburg, has directed the send
ing of the copies to the members of
the local club.
The letter follows:
"A communication is being sent
out to motor car owners by the
'Chiefs of Polico Association' with
. headquarters at Harrisburg, advis
ing them/ that their organization
1 proposed to endeavor to recover
i stolen cars for their subscribers, the
fee being $1 for each car register
ed with them.
"The federation docs not feel that
this is a project that should be
encouraged. The men composing
this organization seem to be regu
, lar police officials and it would seem
that the public are entitled to their
' best services without the payment
of any special fee.
"If we succeed in having passed
at the coming session of the Legis
lature a new motor vehicle law we
now have In preparation, it should
go a long Ways toward checking the

mediately bring this matter to the

Dr. Kenneth K. Mac Alpine
New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital
Says that Nuxated Iron !
Is In His Opinion the Most Valuable Tonic, Strength j
and Blood Builder Any Physician Can Prescribe
Probably no remedy lias ever met
with such phenomenal success as lias
Nuxated Iron—over three million
people annually are taking It in this
country ulone. It has been used and
highly endorsed by such distinguish
ed men as: Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, for
mer Secretary of the Treasury and
Ex-Governor of Iowa; former United
States Senator and Vice Presidential
Nominee Charles A. Towne; United
States Senator E. S. Johnson; Judge
G. \V. Atkinson of the United States

and others.
WHAT Dll. MAC ALPINE SAYSi
"During sixteen years as Lecturer
and Adjunct Professor of Special Sur
gery (Proctology) in the New York
Post Graduate Medical School and
Hospital, 1 never had recourse t(P so
valuable a remedy for building up the
health and strength of debilitated,
convalescent patients as Nuxated
Iron. Severe tests recently made
with Nuxated Iron have absolutely
convinced me that it is a preparation
of most extraordinary merit.
"If people would only realize that
Iron is Just as indispensable to the
blood as is air to the lungs, and bo
Just as particular about keeping up
a sufficient, supply at all times, there
would in my opinion, be far less dis
ease resulting from anaemic, weak
ened conditions. Por years it was a
problem with physicians how to ad
minister iron In a form that could bo
taken up by the system and increase
the red blood corpuscles without up
setting the stomach, blackening the
teeth or producing other disorders
almost as serious as the lack of iron
itself. Hut the Introduction of Nux
ated Iron has done away with all ob
jectionable features of the old min
eral salts of iron and gives to every
careful thinking phyHlclan a tried
and valuable prescription which he
can recommend nearly every day
with benefit to his weakened and
run-down patients. Nuxated Iron by
enriching the blood and creating new
blood cells strengthens the nerves,
rebuilds the weaaened tissues and
helps to instill renewed energy and
endurance into the whole system
i whether the patient be young or old.

Ownership of Systems Char- ]
acterized by Postmaster 1
General as Imperative
j;
Washington, Dec. 17.— Ownership j.
by the government of the telegraph 1
j and telephone systems of the nation j /
; was characterized as "Imperative," | <
Iby Postmaster General Burleson j,
yesterday in a letter to Representa- |:
I tive Moon, chairman of the House i
committee on post offices and post
! roads. Mr. Burleson said the system
j can he ucquired "without the ap- |
i propriation of a dollar from the ~
j p.ubltc treasury" by applying to an |
amortization fund for twenty-five j
years the savings made under gov
ernment ownership through elimi
nation of duplications in plants and
operating expenses.
In support of the government
ownership resolution introduced in j
the House lust week by Rcpresen- j
| tative Moon, the Postmaster Gen- [.
era! quoted from the recent letter ,
of Theodore N. Vail, president of '
the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company, and from tho an
nual reports of a number of the
postmaster generals since the Civil
War, all of Whom agreed, he said,
that government eontrol or owner
ship would greatly contribute to the '
efficiency of service. '
I As justification for the permanent
| taking over >V the wire systems, Mr. 1
Burleson said:
"To establish and maintain means
lof communication is as much the ;
I function of the government as is tho i
| provision for national defense. * i
* * • Moreover, it is essential to (
(lie development of the country and ;
to the progress and prosperity of its ,
people. It is a defense of the national
interests us much in peace as in war, .
* * * Extension of the wire ser- .
vice should lie determined by public j
| needs, not the opportunity for pri
vate gain."
Red Cross Women Visit
Marsh Run Warehouse
j The Army Reserve Depot at Marsh 1
Run was honored yesterday by a visit
from a delegation of Red Cross work- ]
I ers from Harrisburg and vicinity.
Under the personal escort of Major 1
Harvey B. Smith, camp commandant,
they visited the different points of in- 1
terest in the locality .including the
two Y. M, C. A. buildings which have
recently been opened for the con
venience of the men. In one of these '
buildings Mrs. Gilbert, president of '
the Harrisburg chapter of the Red
cross, unveiled two beautiful paint
ings, by Fisher and Gllette, which :
were gifts of this chapter. The J
plans for the unveiling were forinu- j
lr.ted by Lieutenant Underwood. The i
I Red Cross has been very attentive to !
the needs of the Army Reserve De- |
pot. and were especially attentive
during the recent influenza epidemic. |
It has also been of material aid to"|
the Y, M. C. A., which since its in
troduction into camp by H. W. Love,
district secretary of the War Work
Council, at the instigation of Majo.-
Smith, camp commandant, has made
very satisfactory progress.

SPECIAL TO PHYSICIAN'S,
Doctor, Wind do You Itecenifiiriul to
Itenevv tlie Supply of Iron In the
lllouil of People In n Weak,
Nervous. Itun-dovvn Statef
Dr. Mac Alpine, for 16 years Ad
junct Professor in the Netv York
Post Graduate Medical School and
Hospital, says tlie Introduction of
Nuxated Iron gives to every careful
thinking physician a tried and val
uable prescription which he can rec
ommend nearly every day with bene
fit to his weakened and run-down pa
tients.
- Dr. Mac Alpine's opinion is borne
out by the endorsement of such physi
cians as Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, for
merly Visiting Surgeon St. Eliza
beth's Hospital, New York; Dr. A. J.
Newman, late House Surgeon, of Jef
ferson Park Hospital. Chicago; Dr.
James Francis Sullivan, formerly
Physician of Bellevue Hospital (Out
door Dept.) New York and the West
chester County Hospital; Dr. Ferdi
nand King, New York Physician and
Medlenl Author and others.
William R. Kerr, former Health
Commissioner of Chicago, says Nux
ated Iron should he used in every !
hospital and prescribed by every phy- i
Hcian in this country.
Now, Doctor, when you wish to pre- 1
scribe a true tonlc.strength and'blood j
builder--one that puts the vim and i
energy into the veins of tlie weak, i
infirm, run-down and aged—why not (
try the same kind of iron Nuxated t
Iron —that Dr. Mac Alpine and other <
physicians have used with such sue- 1
cess in their practice? Two five-grain 1
tablets of Nuxated Iron taken three <
three times a duy after meals will J
often increase the strength and en- 1
durance of delicate, nervous,, run- a
down folks in two weeks' time. Your 1
druggist will refund your patient's c
money if it doesn't. t
In my opinion Nuxnted iron Is the
most vßluable tonic, strength and
blood builder any physician can pre
scribe."
MANUFACTURERS' NOTE: Nuxat
ed Iron which is used by Dr. Mac-
Alpine and others with such surpris

and recommended by physicians, is

of rheumatism that soon got so bad
I began to lose my nerve."
"1 had aches and pains in my
arms and shoulders and they sort of
stiffened up so that I wasn't quite as i
quick as 1 should have been and I
got to feeling mighty awkward and
an awkward brakeman doesn't live
very long as a rule.
"So I began looking around for
something to help mc out and every
where I went 1 heard 'Tanlae, Tan

myself. And it helped me so quick
you'd hardly believe it. Now I'm all
limbered up and all my and

the top notch medicine."
