CITY ON TOES TO • MEET QUOTA IN PEACE RELIEF Other Sections of Country Have Fallen Down in Great Christian Campaign One reason why the churches of Harrisburg and Dauphin county are so interested in the campaign for the relief of Armenian and Syrian is because many sections of the country have "fallen down" lamentably in their campaigns for the relief of the victims of the Turks and the latter's German directors. The local campaign, which is for the purpose of raising $38,000 for the sufferers and orphans, will begin Sunday. It is in charge of a commit tee headed by Charles \Y. Burtnett. B. W. Desant, of New York, who is assisting in the local campaign, is in receipt of a letter describing con ditions in the Near East. Extracts from this letter are as follows: "If you could but have seen the daily train load of refugees from the Persian rail head in the early days of the camps, when hundreds were added to tlie population every twenty-four hours, you would not wonder that the nursing sisters and medical officers have been aghast at the fearful mortality rate among hospital cases. Every power of re sistance was shattered; before dys enVary and smaller diseases, men and women and children were mowed down by the hundreds—and the plot of ground with its rows of graves was never long unvisited. "Between the rails and reception tent there were great iron cauldrons for water —exhausted women knelt Tomorrow, you'/I know why -j so many people get such real & enjoyment out of lifel 0 | for a moment in the blaze of . the Mesopo.umiun sun, threw water on their Hushed fares, and bore it to thirsty little lips in tlie hollow of their trembling hands. One saw con stantly such things as this—a moth er rose to walk towards the recep tion tents, the young child by her j cried piteously ,ihc mother's grasp ! tightened, antl she dragged the. limp j little weight until relief came in the I emergency hospital. How could she j know that a bullet did not still lurk for dragging steps? "Hut under the sanitary arrange ments made by the sanitary corps and medical staffs—the erection of closed incinerators, proper latrines, land the provision of scientillc means ' to tight the fly pest, inoculation and | thorough medical treatment, the; j gain in health has been encouraging j in the highest degree—in fact, the children seem on the whole well and ! happy. "The camps are located on a bend of. the Diato river, which Hows into the Tigris some thirty miles below! Bagdad, and not far from that hugh arch of Ctesiphon which remains to j attest the former glory of the later I Sassnnian dynasty. From the river II he water is pumped in to the elilor j ination plants and thence both (pumped and carried into the supply | tanks of the several camps and sub | sections. Running across the camp ,site are the great mounds of earth. | worn down by the rains of over a j thousand years, which mark the j channel of the ancient Norwalin ] Canal, in fact not the least impres sive reminders of the glori'es of the j "cradle of mankind," are these ; ghosts of one-time channel courses which shunted Tigris and Euphrates j water into irrigation ditches resemb i ling the branches of a mighty river j system. Everywhere arc the hum mocks of bare earth stretching ticross the p'aitis as far as the eye can reach. Although the ground of the camps is in these days, almost entirely barren, the tangled growth of palm and willow and poplar and orange trees in the river flats on the opposite side of the Diala and in the .nearby Arab village suggest the soil possibilities under the proper irriga tion arrangements." APRIL 3, 1919. FIXING COAL LAND VALUES Northumberland Commission ers Await Report of One As sessor Before Deciding Kiiiiliury. Pa.. April 3.—Northum berland County Commissioners are waiting on the return of one county assessor before adjustment of the coal assessments are made for the next three years. lie is Peter J. Kowalr.ki, of Coal township, where most of tile anthracite in the county lies. Mr. Kowalski did not get his as sessment work done within the pre scribed time because of the large ness of .the district, and he was given another thirty days. Once this is done the Vigures will be de termined upon and the assessment made. An appeal day will then be set by the Commissioners, at which the coal corporations may be heard, after which the final adjustment will be made bv the County Commission ers, sitting as a board of tax re vision. It Is generally agreed tliat the coal tax levies in Northumberland will lie raised al least 100 per cent, if not more. The present approximate val uation of anthracite properties is $17,000,000, of a total valuation of $45,000,000 for all taxable property within the boundaries of the county. With T. Ellsworth Dnvies, Scran ton coal land expert, making an es timate of values, however, it is be lieved, comparing his estimates with that of other counties where he has been hired, that he will estimate Northumberland's unniined anthra cite to be worth up into the bil lions.

Thin, Weak Pepple Get Strong and Fat Thin. weak, nervous people, espec ially those convalescing from influ enza or similar enervating: com plaints, can quickly regain their strength, flesh anil energy by tak ing a tive-grain tablet of Blood-Iron Phosphate with each meal. This wonderfuj nerve and blood builder, which is now obtainable of George A. Gorgas and other leading druggists, contains neither stimulat- *' ing or narcotic drugs nor dangerous alkaloids, and does not upset the stomach or discolor the teeth: but in simply a harmless, easily digested nerve and blood builder which, ac cording to leading French and Ameri can authorities, is quickly converted into living nerve tissue and at the same time Increases the oxygen car rying red cells of the blood. Blood-Iron Phosphate helps make the weak strong, increases endurance and prevents fatigue; pale cheeks re gain the bloom of health, dull eyes be come bright and sleep returns to the 'sleepless. Take Blood-Iron Phosphate for three weeks -it costs only pl od for three weeks' treatment—and if it doesn't do all this for you, if you don't feel better and stronger than you have for months, if you don't put mi several pounds of solid stay-there flesh, you can have your money back for the asking and the trial will cost you nothing. Why Spring Brings Out Freckles and Eruptions The sudden appearance of freckles, slight eruptions or line lines at this season is attributed by scientists to the "actinic ray," which is unusually active during the spring months. Where the skin is so affected by this influence if one will procure an ounce of common mercollzed wax at any drug store, apply a little of it before retiring, like cold' cream, she can easily overcome the trouble. When the wax is washed off next morning, minute flaky skin particles come with it. The entire outer cuticle is re moved in tliis way in a week or two, with all its defects. No bleach could BO effectually re move freckles or blemishes. The new surface is smooth, clear, fresh look ing:. No pain or inconvenience accom panies this simple treatment.
