Leib Will Be Tried in
Philadelphia Court
Reports that the trial of William S.
Reib, former resident clerk of the
House of Representatives, against
whom charges of forging receipts for
state taxes have been lodged by At
torney General W. I. Schaffer, would
be transferred to Dauphin county,
were denied to-day by the Attorney
General.
The warrant for Reib's arrest was
issued in Philadelphia and lie waived
a hearing before a Philadelphia mag
istrate. It was said that there is no
evidence to show that the signatures
were attached in Dauphin county, but
that, inasmuch as the receipts were
presented by Reib in Philadelphia, the
proceedings were instituted there.
Under the law a prisoner can be
adjudged; guilty of forgery in the
county in which a signature is forged
as well as in the county in which the
forgery is presented. Deputy Attor
ney General Swope has been assigned
t.o assist the district attorney of
Philadelphia county in the prosecu
tion of Reib.
CLEAN HOUSING
IS SAID NECESSARY
[Continued from First Page.]
the city to the State authorities who
have picked Harrisburg, from all
cities of the State, as the one place
to try out the proposed system for
making a model city. Colonel Martin
is an impressive figure and he
looks the man of authority. For
many years a personal friend of Gov
ernor Sproul, he won distinction dur
ing the war as chief of the Walter
Reed Hospital at Washington where
2,500 oversea cases were handled.
"Here we are" was his attitude. "The
State Department of Health is ready
to help Harrisburg. We pick you be
cause you are just a little ahead,
something above the average in all
branches of progress. What are you
going to do?"
Notorious Examples
"We seem to have a regular ace
of a city," was the consensus of
opinion as heard from one promi
nent citizen who had listened close
ly to the gamut of praise showing
what progress had been made here
in the last fifteen years and how
keen the citizens are to continue the
progress, and yet Dr. John Molitor,
chief of the Bureau of Housing,
pointed out that housing evils here
were notorious. For example he em
phasized that at Twelfth and Mon
roe streets, a house was occupied by
twenty-six families, with two outside
hydrants and filthy toilets. Dr.
Hamilton street four overcrowded
families moved out of one house,
but seven moved in; he identified as
squalid living spots Cowden street,
North Seventh, Monroe, North
Tenth, Indian alley and South Ninth.
"The State," he promised, "will
shortly make a survey of the entire
city and put the situation up to your
Chamber of Commerce. Fifteen
years ago you saw great activity
start here; you secured paving,
water front and parks. You must
not stop now."
The hardest rap for Harrisburg
came from Dr. Karl Schaflle, medi
cal inspector of the tuberculosis dis
pensary. He gave the city credit for
lessening the death rate from this
disease only 77 in 1,000 now, which
he ascribed to better wages, sun
! light and air in factories, fresli
j air schools, etc. But he charged the
| Harrisburg physicians with not re
j porting living tuberculosis cases to
the board, and he said the campaign
I cannot go on without this co-opera-
I tion, "Spitting in public places," he
j said, "is not enforced, especially
in street care and market houses.-
He maced the trolley cars for over
crowding, and deplored that there
was not a hospital here so that con
sumption victims might die near
their own home.
Following along this line Dr. Dor
othy Child, chief of the Division of
Child Hygtiene, demanded (that a
municipal nurse be appointed at a
salary of $ 1,000 per year, with S2OO
for expenses. She was gratified to
admit however that infant mortality
is decreasing here, due greatly to
improvement in milk.
Steel ton in Danger
Another emphatic warning came
from Charles A. Emerson, chief cn
' gineer of the Department of Health
I in the matter of sewers, raw sewage
i discharged below the dam being a
' great injustice to Steelton. The sew
! age plan, he says, should be com
| pleted immediately even if necessary
to Issue bonds.
| He predicted typhoid for the whole
of Steelton if the filter plant should
: become inactive. He pointed out the
! lack of any sewage system in Pleas-
I ant View, the cesspools of which
! pour down their filth on the city and
! must be renovated or cause an epi
demic. He declared that all open
! places such as this should be elimi
! nated and if necessary that Pleasant
j View be joined to the municipality
Iso her hygiene can be controlled.
BARRISBURG TELEGTtAPH
WILSON TO SAIL
FOR U. S. APRIL
27 OR 28
Paris, April 15.—Presi
dent Wilson intends to
sail for the United States
on April 27 or 28, after
being" present at the open
ing meeting of the peace
congress at Versailles,
the Echo de Paris says
to-day. After his depart
ure Colonel E. M. House
will act for him, the
newspaper adds.
Washington, April 15.
—Four destroyers, the
Manley, Rathburne, Tal
bot and Dorsey have left
for the Azores to escort
the presidential ship
George Washington
when she returns from
overseas. Acting Secre
tary Roosevelt said to
day that the transport
was due at Brest" on the
evening of April 19.
Announcement also
was made that the super
dreadnaught Arizona had
replaced the Mississippi
as the escort flagship for
the George Washington.
Mosquitoes, he declared were not so (
bad here as some other places, but
frisky enough, especially in Italian
Park, Wildwood and Paxtang, and
that they should be entirely decimat
ed. He complimented the city on.its
filter plant, but insisted that it will
deteriorate and cause another water
famine if funds are not immediately
raised to reinforce mains and add to
the filters.
Major Leo Gans, chief of the
Venereal Section, urged the establisht |
ment of prophylactic stations for
civilians similar to those conducted
by the army for the soldiers. He
hctd that the most valuable by
product of the war would be the ex
perience in checking the incident
of veneral diseases. It is to be done
by education, and by regarding and
treating them with the same frank
ness as other contagious diseases.
There should be established here a
station to treat these diseases just
as there are for tuberculosis. He
gave statistics showing that 8 per
cent, of the soldiers at one United
States Army.camp were found to be
afllicted by one venereal disease.
More than 80 per cent, of women
brought to hospitals suffer with this
disease, he averred, in emphasizing
the need for such a station here.
Danger From Flies
Dr. John Miller, public health
educator, gave some exciting facts re
garding the fly as a pest but he did
not agitate Mrs. William Henderson.,
who wit bothers of the Civic Club,
smiled in response. Mrs. Henderson
with some exultation reported that
the Civic Club campaign had been
going eight years and that last sea
son's kill amounted to eighteen
bushels. Dr. Miller made the fly out
to be .the rankest joy killer and all-
I round demon on earth; and begged
ail hands to kill, kill, kill. He asked
that the city use borax in stables
where horses are kept, but hopes
this will not be necessary very long
as by actual count he finds that there
are only 500 horses left in the city.
Dr. Howard Hull, chief medical
inspector, showed as a result of his
study that the incidence of con
tagious diseases reflected the great
est credit on the health authorities
of Harrisburg, being lower thhn
that of any other similar commun
ity in the state. He urged a more
prompt reporting of contagious dis
eases, a more careful supervision of
schools, education of the house
holders, and in particular the j
prompt erection of a contagious
disease hospital to which sourses of
djinger to the community could be
promptly removed.
Dr. Wilmer Batt, register of
state vital statistics, told that the
present average death per thousand
in Harrisburg is only 15, perhaps the
lowest in the state. One child in
12 dies in its first year, so that a
year-old child has the same chance
of life pertaining to a man of 65.
The birth-rate here is low, compared
to other cities, due somewhat to
the number of suburban residents.
Urges Inquiries
He urged better living and school
conditions and warned aginst the
exposing of children to disease in
the family.
"The dope traffic in this city is
practically the same as that in other
cities the size of Harrisburg," said
Dr. Blair, chief of the Division of
Drug Control. "There are 124 ad
dicts listed and probably 500 more
who are not listed. The dope traffic
is dangerous to the health of any
city and the citizens should co
operate with the police in stamping
it out.
"While the traffickers and the
hopeless addicts to dope are danger
ous to a city's health, the 'tipplers'
are even more dangerous. There
are those persons who, every time
they have a slight pain or ache, they
clamor for a dose of morphine or
some other drug. This is exceeding
ly dangerous. There arc thousands
of 'tipplers' in the city. As a physi
cian, I warn you, don't do this, for
the drug habit overtakes you much
faster than does Intoxicating liquors."
George B. Tripp, for the Chamber
of Commerce, pledged the State
Board of Health sincere co-oper
ation and, like Mayor Keistcr, ex
pressed gratitude that the oppoi
tunity has been given Harrisburg.
"The Chamber of Commerce" he
announced "has a committee right
on the job to work on the contagious
disease hospital, which we need
Legislature to further; there is also
a committee on housing, and we will
be glad to co-operate in every way."
Dr. John M. Kaunick, City Health
Officer, spoke briefly, just long
enough to pledge his co-operation.

Fighting Living-Cost
with Gasoline
Everything that facilitates the movement of merchandise works toward economy.
The motor-truck, through its efficiency as a carrier, directly affects living-cost.
Quicker distribution means cheaper distribution. Cheaper distribution means
lower prices.
Motor-trucks are moving on every highway, carrying from point-of-origin to
point-of-consumptiop, Merchandise, Produce, Meats, Milk, Iron, Steel, Cement,
Petroleum, Coal and all produce of natural resource or of factory production.
Power is the essence of motor-truck efficiency. Motor-truck owners are
business-men and, when they buy gasoline, they buy with one idea in mind
Power. Atlantic Gasoline is the accepted fuel.
This is not a mere statement. It is a fact demonstrated by our records which
show a preponderance of Atlantic Gasoline consumption among owners and
operators of motor-trucks, whether in large fleets or by individual users.
For the same reason that Atlantic Gasoline puts power in the motor-truck, it
puts pep in the engine of the automobile. Atlantic Gasoline is the fuel of
economy and efficiency.

Druggist Tells How to Cure
the Liquor Habit at Home
Free Prescription Can Be Filled At
Any Drug Store nnd Given Secretly.
H. J. Brown, a Cleveland man. was
for many years a confirmed drunkard.
His friends and relatives despaired
of ever redeeming him. His sister
sought the best medical inen in
Europe in the hope that she might
find something which would Cure
him. Finally she was recommended
to an eminent chemist, who gave her
a private formula (the same as ap
pears below) \nd told her how to use
it. She had it filled at a drug store
and gave it to him secretly. The re
sults were startling. In a few weeks
he was completely cured. That was
over ten years ago and he has not
touched a drop since. He now oc
cupies a position of trust and is en
thusiastic in his efforts to help oth
ers overcome the liquor habit. He
feels that he can best do this by mak

cured him. Here is the prescription:

tasteless, colorless and cannot be de
tected. You can use it without the
knowledge of anyone. A lady who re
cently tried it on her husband re
ports: "My husband was on a spree
when I got the powders and he usual
ly stays drunk from three to four
weeks at a time. After putting the
powder in his coffee for four days he
sobered up and has not taken a drink
since and says he is through with it

am grateful for this help and I shall
recommend it whenever possible."

for the drink habit. It is harmless,
wonderfully effective and is having
an enormous s,ale. 'I advise every
