JIMMY HODGES
IS HERE AGAIN
Popular Comedian at Majes
tic Entire Week in Musi
cal Shows
Jimmy Hodges played liis way into
tho affections of Harrisburgers last
night when he and his big company
presented "The Flirt" at the Majes
tic Theater. Unusual crowds filled
the playhouse to see something good
in the musical" comedy line, and no
one was disappointed. Good scenery,
pretty girls and one of the best co
medians on the stage, Jimmy him
self, made the performance of "The
Flirt" an immediate success with
people of this city.
To be born a flirt, always be a
flirt, and die a flirt is the sad afflici
tion which Nature placed upon
Jimmy Humes, the leading character
of the piece. And the manner in
■which Florence Humes, his wife,
playfed by Marion Cavannaugh, takes
Nature's verdict furnishes a full line,
of laughable Incidents which, with
Mr. Hodges' own characteristic wit,
sends the audience into convulsions.
Among the songs, "The Rose That
Grows in No Man's Hand" seemed to
make the biggest hit Inst night. A
feature of this song was the singing
of tho verses by one of the company
attired as a soldier in one of the
"boxes. All the audience soon took
up the chorus either by singing or
whistling.
Besides the acting of Mr. Hodges

TELLS ON THE KIDNEYS
llarrisburg People Have Found Tills:
To Be True.
The strain of overwork tells on j
weakened kidneys. The hurry and j
worry of business men, the heavy j
lifting and stooping of workmen, thej
women's household cares, tend to j
wear, weaken and injure the kid
neys until they can no longer filter
the poison from the blood and the
whole body suffers from the waste
matter that accumulates. Weak
ened kidneys need quick assistance.
Doan's Kidney Pills are prepared
especially for weakened kidneys;
tired, worn-out backs have proven
their merit in thousands of such
cases. Convincing proof of their
worth in a Harrisburg citizen's state
ment.
\Vm. Wilbert, machinist, 1523 Ver
non St., says: "Several years agd I j
was in bad shape with my kidneys. 1
3 suppose it was brought on by my
work as at that time I was doing
much heavy lifting. My back was so;
weak 1 could hardly walk and when
J sat down for any length of time,
J could hardly straighten. Doan's
Kidney Pills cured me and 1 have'
never been bothered that way j
since."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't;
simply ask for a kidney remedy —]
get Doan's Kidney Pills the same
that Mr. Wilbert had. Foster-Mil-1

SOLDIERS HOME;
GIRLS DISMISSED
First Girls Retire on Middle
Division Because of Re
turned Employes
Soldiers are returning in such
numbers to the Middle Division serv
ice that it has been found necessary
to dismiss ten girls who had been
employed during the emergency in
the Middle Division freight train
master's crfliee. Thus far no surplus
has been created on the Philadelphia
Division by such returning employes
and no dismissals of girls have yet
been made.
The dismissal of the girls on the
Middle Division is not to be consid
ered at this time as the forerunner
of a general suspension of the girls,
it is explained, but it will be found
necessary from tihie to time to dis
miss some girls who were employed
during the emergency. But many of
these girls will be retained perma
nently, it is explained. The general
installation of the eight-hour system
has created many new positions,
some of which will be filled by girls.
Officials of the several divisions of
the Pennsylvania Railroad explain
that positions, just ns good or better,
await their returned soldier em
ployes. Some girls are now filling
these positions. When the men re
turn efforts will be made to find
other positions for the girls, but
where this is impossibe they will
have to be dismissed from service.

YAM VETERANS
GET CHANCE AT
NEW VOCATIONS
Offices in Calder Building
Will Furnish Vocational
Training.
That every man of this vicinity
who has been wounded in tho United
States service may be better fitted to
achieve as high a degree of success
in life as possible, offices have been
opened in this city to provide means
for the furnishing of vocational edu
cations to such men. These new of
fices are in room 20S of the Calder
building and are in charge of C. J. C.
Clarke, former commandant of vari
ous rehabilitation camps in the
United States. It is being conduct
ed under the direction of the Fed
eral Board of Vocational Education.
In their haste to get home after
discharge men often leave before the
officers obtain their addresses. Thus
all trace of such men is sometimes
lost. The wounded men will be lo
cated, Mr. Clarke explains, but ii, is
mainly to reach the other men that
the bureau has been opened.
The. co-operation 'of Harrisburg's
largest clubs and societies is greatly
desired by this board. This move
ment, which has been started nation
ally, is meeting with favor every
where. It is probable several field
educators will be stationed in Penn
sylvania. It will be their duty to get
in communication with each and ev
ery disabled soldier, whether lie al
ready has succeeded in getting a
good position or not.
Commenting on the purpose of the
board, Mr. Clarke said:
"What we want to do is to get
each and every wounded man who
has returned. In case he has spent
three years in high school and has
an ambition to become a professional
man, we will send him to high school
for one year and then to college for
four years. All the time he is in
school and college he will have hi"
tuition paid and receivo $65 per
month in addition.
"For the man who is an illiterate,
in case he shows signs of intelli
gence, a private tutor will be gotten
and the man will be given every op
portunity to make good. This will
not cost the soldier one penny. He
will also be paid $65 a month.
"The same thing applies for the
soldier who has been injured So seri
ously he feels he cannot get a posi
tion. For example, if a soldier came
back here with both legs shot off
and one hand missing, he would be
sent to a school where he could learn
to operate some kind of a machine
which only requires one hand."
Mrs. Shepard Speaks on
Danger of Polygamy
MRS. LULU L. SHEPARD
Mrs. Lulu Loveland Shepard, who
is speaking in the city under the au
spicfes of the National Reform As
sociation of Pittsburgh, in its nation
wide anti-polygamy campaign, has
been speaking to large and enthusi
astic audiences. She spoke last night
in the Fourth Reformed Church, tho
Rev. Homer S. May, pastor.
Mrs. Shepard said in part con
cerning polygamy: "It is the chief
cornerstone of Mormon theology. It
is the royal order of the Mormon 'so
cial system. It is the chief sanctity
in Mormon religious consideration.
In Mormon eyeB : —"celestial mar
riage" or marriage for this life and
through eternity is tho only lawful
marriage and the offspring of celes
tial marriage the only legitimate off
spring. The preended command
from God for* celestial marriage is
entitled "Revelation on the eternity
I of the marriage covenant, includ.ng
the plurality of wives." The polyga
mous order is the onß' order of mar
riage, even a monogamous marriage
in tho church must be solemnized at
the polygamous altar and the par
ticipants must accept the divinity of
polygamy."
Mrs. Shepard will speak to-night in
the Lutheran Church parish house,
of Hummelatown, at 7.15. She will
speak to-morrow afternoon to wom
en only at 3 o'clock in the Grace M.

Criminal Court Hearing
Shows Necessity For a

That there is an urgent need for
a police matron in Harrisburg was
again shown in court yesterday af
ternoon during a hdbeas corpus pro
ceeding started in order to have May
Holmes released from jail where she
is being held for court because she
was unable to furnish bail when held
on a larceny charge.
Counsel for the woman declared
that the evidence given at. the hear
ing at tho Mayor's office was insuffi
cient to hold her and that Gay New
man, the other woman arrested in
the same case had been implicated,
but the witnesseses did not include
his client.
Cross-examination of witnesses
called before the court showed that
the Newman woman had not been
reached tlie night she was arrested,
but was searched later and no money
was found on her. She .and May
Holmes are charged with taking
$lOO from Steve Magaro.
The court finally reduced the bail
required for the latter to $lOO pend
ing action of the grand jury on the
bill of indictment.

cally—"a fat man and a 'mun who is
merely fat.' "The first,' lie said, "is
a fat-headed, self-congratulating,
obviously complacent person obsessed
witli the feeling of achievement, while
the other is a living personification of
nature's strange workings and with
out reason for gloating thereof." Con
cluding, he observed with pathos,
"and the old saying, 'Nobody loves a
fat man,' seems like it must be true."
Many are the stories told of which
Al. G. Field Is the central figure. In
his long career as a
Al. G. Field public entertainer he
I Minstrels lias toured the snme
route year after year,
i and has many friends in every city
; visited.
I In a certain Southern city a friend
invited Mr. Field to visit his home
and partake of a family dinner. The
invitation was sent Field several days
prior to his arrival in the city where
he was to dine. Manda, the colored
cook, was apprised of the fact. Manda
began preparations for the dinner,
constantly informing her mistress
that she knew Mr. Field, that she had
seen him ever so many times. She
did not say that she had only s<#n
him on tlie stage, under the guise of
burnt cork.
The day of the dinner was one -of
hustle and hustle with Manda. The
family, with Mr. Field, arrived rather
late. The lady of the house alighted
from the automobile, skipped to the
kitchen inquiring if dinner was
ready. Mada assured her that all was
ready.
"That's good," chimed in the hostess,
"Mr. Field is in a hurry to get to the
.theater and dinner must be served at
once."
I "All right," Manda answerd. "Mr.
! Field can cut right now. I've done
, set a table for him in de kitchen."

hatred, content, cherished revenue or
agony by the mere curl of the lips
and flash of her magnetic eyes, has
never been better manifested than in
the scenes where she is held captive
by her abductors.
"Private Peat,'' the preat Para
mount-Artcraft picture, is the big" at
traction now showing at the
At the Hegrent Theater. It is a
Kegeut photoplay of timely interest.
The picture is based on the
story of Private Harold R. Peat. Viv
idly are shown the atrocities of the.
Huns, the brilliant night attacks alonp
the front line and the thousand and
one things that go to make war the
terrible machine it is.
An instructive, educational film, one
of a series by Burton Holmes, is also
shown. In addition there is a highly
enjoyable Mack Sennett comedy,
"Sleuths," which set the whole audi- i
ence rocking with laughter. I
Following this program to be shown j
to-day and to-morrow, the virile Wil- .
Ham S. Hart will be shown for the (
three days of the week in his newest
release, "The Border Wireless."
That "The Callaux Case" is aptly J
called "the sensation of tw6 conti- j
nents" is the general verdict
At the of the big audiences, which
Victoria saw this splendid William
Fox photoplay at the Vie-
J toria Theater yesterday. The picture
will he shown again to-day for the
last time, and judging from the im
pression it made at the first showings,
I it Is certain to attract groat crowds.

All North France
Ruins, Says Hoover
Washington, 'Jan. 7.—ln an out
spoken cablegram recived here, Her
bert Hoover, Food Administrator
and chairman of the Commission for
Relief in Belgium, tells of the wan
ton destruction wrought by Overman
armies in parts of Northern France
which they occupied, and states that
the work of rehabilitationo lias been
made so difllcult by these outrages
that it will he impossible for the
commission, as it had hoped, to turn
over the task at this time to the
French government.
"The entire industrial life of the
region has been destroyed by the
Germans," Mr. Hoover states. "There
is scarcely a single factory that can
be operated without a very large
portion of new equipment. The coal
mines are totally destroyed and tlie
network of railways in this region
has been rendered almost hopeless of
reconstruction for many months.
"The German method of destruc
tion was to bend every single rail by
exploding a hand grenade under it,
rendering it useless for all time. The
Grand Canal du Nord, which con
nects this section of France with the
Belgium canal system and is the na
tural entrepot for goods for Antwerp
or Rotterdam, was itself practically
the lighting line for months and is
so badly destroyed that it will take
fully ayear for its complete recon
struction."
Discussing general conditions, Mr.
Hoover states that the relief is based
upon the allowance of fpod to the
vahfe of about thirty-five cents a
day to the destitute, those having any
resources or employment being re
quired to pay. The whole extent of
destitution is not yet known, he as
serts, but appears to include fully
sixty per cent, of tho people.

Pennsylvania Railroad tracks toward
the Eiizabethtown station this morn
ing and failed to notice the approach

1,500,000 Soldiers
of France Killed
Twenty-live per cent. of tho
French army has been killed in bat
tle, another 25 per cent, have been
seriously wounded. This terrible
sacrifice of half its magnificent army
has been freely made by heroic
France that liberty might live. The
world, and especially America, owes
France an enormous debt of grati
tude, not only for this, but for tho
discovery by French peasants of a
perfect remedy for stomach, liver
and intestinal disorders which is re
ported to have saved many thou
sands of lives the world over, pre
vented innumerable surgical opera
tions and alleviated incalculable suf
fering. George H. Mayr, a leading
Chicago Chemist, imports tho Ingre
dients and sells this remedy in Amer
ica under the name of Mayr's Won
derful Remedy, it Is n simple, harm
less preparation that removes tho
catarrhal mucous from tho intestinal
tract and allays the inflammation
which causes practically all stomach,
liver and intestinal ailments, includ
ing appendicitis. One dose will con
vince or money refunded.
