These pylons, modeled after those on the proposed State street memorial bridge, are merely temporary struc tures and are not expected to be left standing after the big Fourth of July celebration. The arch is artistically decorated, and throws out a hearty welcome to the returning soldiers. Artistically decorated panels and paintings hold prominent positions on the arch. Palm branches conceal numerous electric lights, hung from the two arches and several illuminated keystones shone forth last night. Harry B. Snoop, architect, designed the arch, and B. I.

Nun Undersell Ity I,oral People If the digestive organs are not properly performing the work which nature has assigned to them, then nu trition. which is absolutely essential f?i. the recovery of other diseased parts, will be lacking and there can he nii permanent relief. When bodily I nutrition is normal, the stomach di- j gests the food, the blood absorbs and curries the nourishment to the differ- i cut parts of the body, causing the 1 various organs to properly perform | their functions- Nature has provided a remedy in the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate, the new herbal stomach remedy, which is now being introduced here. It is purely vegetable and its vitaliz ing. corrective and reconstructive | qualities are so pronounced that ben- , etlcial results are notieed from the ; first day. That this is true, it is only ! necessary to listen to the statements i made daily by local people who have given Argo-Phosphate a fair trial and have been benefited thereby It is dispensed by Gorgas, the drug gist. For Itching Torture There is one remedy that seldom fails to stop itching torture and relieve skin irritation and that makes the skin soft, clear and healthy. Any druggist can supply you with Zemo, which generally overcomes all skin diseases. Eczema, itch, pimples, rashes, blackheads in most cases give way to Zemo. Frequently, minor blem ishes disappear over night. Itching us ually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe, antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and dependable. It costs only 35c; an ex tra large bottle, SI.OO. It will not stain, is not greasy or sticky and is positively safe for tender, sensitive skins. The E. W. Rose Co., Cleveland, O. BITRO-PHOSPHATE BEST THING FOR THIN PEOPLE Women \wi II to llring Pink Glow of Henlth lo Pale Check* and Fore stall Tcll-Talo Linen of Age. Men Need It lo Make Strong, \ Igoron* Hodir* nnd Steady Nerve*. Judging from the countless prep arations and treatments which are continually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshv, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contain ed in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic pliosphate known among druggists as bilro-phosphate, which is Inexpensive and is sold by most all druggists un der a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-pbosphate quick ly produces a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. This Increase In weight also carries with it a general Improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health-. CAUTION: Although bitro-phos phate is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and gen eral weakness. It should not, owing to its remarkable flesh-growing proper ties. be used by anyone who does not desire to put on fleeh. j i • THURSDAY EVENING, RARRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH MAY 8, 1919. GOVERNOR GUEST OF PUBLISHERS Ho nnd Lieutenant Governor Beidleman Address Closing Dinner of Convention Governor Sproul and Lieutenant Governor Beidleman were guests of honor last evening at the dinner which brought the meeting of the Pennsylvania State Editorial Asso ciation and the Associated Dailies of Pennsylvania to a close. The din ner was served in the large dining room on the second floor of the Penn-Harris and was attended by some sixty guests. Judge C. H. Bressler, of Lock Haven, retiring president of the State Editorial Association, was toastmaster and in his opening ad dress outlined the difficulties of the newspapers during the war, the tremendously increased costs of publication and the hardships placed upon the publishers by the dictates of Washington. He said the news pers, and particularly the country newspapers, had volunteered at the outset of the war for whatever might be needed of them and that they had educated their readers and did great work in making successful all the war drives. He said he believed the papers also had a very large part in changing public opinion with regard to the advisability of passing the good roads loan and paid a high compliment to Governor Sproul, whom he introduced, for the excel lency of his administration and the wisdom of his politics. Governor Sproul, who received a great ovation at the hands of the publishers, said he was happy to be present, as his first job had been in a newspaper office. One time, down in Ohristiania, he and a husky colored man turned off the entire edition of the newspaper by hand when the little engine that ran the press refused to work. "We put a handle in the flywheel and turned the machine by our muscle," he said, "and I Was happy that the publisher had lied about his circulation." • His Lifowork Newspaper making, the Governor said, he considered his lifework. He is part owner of the Chester Times and said that.he gets ntore fun out of writing a news story for that pub lication than anything else he does. "First I bought a paper after my father endorsed my note," he said, "and soon I found I would have to go into some more profitable busi ness to make both ends meet. Then I bought a farm and I had to en large my outside business still more in order to get money to keep the farm going. But always I have thought of myself as a newspaper man." The Govarnor said the newspapers) of Pennsylvania can do much to educate the people as to the folly of the foreign radicalism now being introduced from abroad. "We have little to fear in Pennsylvania," said the Governor, "because we have a way here of getting together, talk ing things over and reaching eom monsense conclusions. And we have a public sentiment that is pa triotic to the core and would stand for no nonsense at the hands of rad icals who come here abroad and do not understand our ways or our institutions." Mr. Beidleman's Speech George W. Wagenseller, of the Middlebttrgh Post, introduced Lieu tenant Governor E. E. Beidleman, who in the course of his speech said lie felt that what the newspapers need more than anything else dur ing the reconstruction period is! courage to print what is right,; whether or not it may be in full accord with popular sentiment. He cited Governor Sprout's action in ve toing the bill to forbid the teaching of German in the schools as an ex ample. "The Governor knew the hill was based on hysteria and that commonsense dictated that we should know what our enemies are talking about," said Mr. Beidleman, "so he vetoed the bill, even at the risk of being misunderstood. The newspapers should take the same course." Governor Sproul was elected an honorary member of the association. .Mr. Satller Endorsed At the afternoon sessiof of the as sembled publishers some important Circulation" and George J. Campbell, others being strong approval of the "constructive and consistent .cltcy of the State Department of Highways with respect to the program of perm anent road building with special com mendation of the firm attitude of Commissioner Sadler in refusing to permit political o: other influences to interfere with th fixed policies of the department as outlined in his public statements." Other resolutions declared that all advertising required by law to be published should be printed in Eng lish newspapers only and that the I'nited States Government should pay regular advertising rates for adver tising matter. Walter H. Savory, a widely known publisher, discussed the newspaper outlook in the most optimistic vein and declared among other things that the best advertisement Pennsylvania ever put out was the fifty-million loan for improved highways. He said nothing the publishers could get be hind would ever result in so much good as enthusiastic support of the road-building program. Mr. Savory's address was of the most practical character and very interesting. Harry L. Johnston, of the Altoona Mirror." made a hit with a construc tive address on the theme "Local News as a Circulation Builder." H. C. Carpenter, of the Lancaster Intelli gencer, discussed "Advertising and Circulation" and eGorge J. Campbell, of Pittsburgh, went into the legisla tion as It affects the newspapers and also pointed out important phases of the conduct of the newspaper from the legal standpoint. J. H. Zerby, of Pottsville, told of his experiences in the matter of safety appliances, insurance and newspaper annoyances. A legislative committee of the State Editorial Association was appointed consisting of E. J. Stackpole. of liar risburg; George J. Campbell, of Pitts burgh; J. H. Zerbey, of Pottsville, W. L Taylor, of York; George W. Wagenseller, of Middleburg: C. L. Long, of Chester and W. L. McLean, of Philadelphia. Officers of the State Edttorial As sociation were elected during the afternoon as follows: President. J. B Knepper. of Carnegie: first vice president, C. N. Andrews. Easton; sec ond vice-president. John G. Zook, of Lttltz; third vice-president. H. L Johnston, Altoona: secretary-treasur er. Robert P. Habgood; executive com mttee. J. H. Zerbey, Pottsvile; A. B. Sehropp, Lebanon; D. R. Thomp son, Cartisle; H. C. Carpenter, Lancas ter; G. Ross Eshelman, Lancaster: Oliver D. Schoch, Hamburg; W. B. McClean, Gettysburg. A resolution was adopted provid ing for the appointment of a commit tee to prepare a plan of organization which will provide for sectional con ferences of those members whose problems of business or management arc most closely ailed. Ths plan s to be reported at the next meeting. Little Talks by Beatr ice Fairfax A number of girls have written to me laJely about their entangle ments with "fake heroes," and they want advice about the best method of extricating themselves from their difficulties. The easiest way of avoiding a scrape, to make an Irish bull, is to keep out of it in the first place. And another very good way these mo mentous days, when few things ap pear at their face value, is to keep on hand an extra supply of common sense and take a generous dose of it every time the Impulse to do something rash overtakes you.

Distrust the "hero" who brags much and flocks alone. If he has been fighting Germany, practically single-handed, shiploads of dough boys will know all about his ex- and Lhey will "pal" with him, and talk about him, and do the bragging, and take occasion to tell you about the grand and glor ious time in which he slaughtered so many Prussian guards. . The "hero," if lie is genuine, will prob ably blush and murmur some dep recating word like "Rot." But if he tells you many wonder tales and no one knows him, and he is as bereft of pals as a borrowing relative and his memory suddenly goes bad on him when you ask about his company, distrust that "hero." For curiously enough, the genuine hero is always modest. War does sometnlng to the man of real achievement In the way of pruning down such exscrescences as brag, boasting and bunkum. He has been through too much of the real thing; to gut any genuine satis faction out of these cheap little excursions into heroics and the land of make-helieve, generally speaking, unless he is of -ather shoddy quality in the first place. I am not referring to the delight fully large talk of returning soldier boys (genuine). That is nothing! i more than travelers' tales, and theyl j would not be human if they did not I "string us along." just a little. And j we love them all the better for their charming gifts as raconteurs. But the young man to bewai'e of j [is he who tells you about being sent for by Pershing, etc. Or the! j unknown "hero" who really saved i the day for Democracy at Chateau Thierry, and who, except for spite work, on the part of certain offi- \ cials, would have been thanked per sonally by the President. , Not Entitled to a Uniform Ten chances to one, this great | and unappreciated soul is not even j entitled to the uniform he is wear-! ing. And no one has ever heard of j hint in the unit to which he claims to belong. _ | When the "fake 1 ero" is an Am-; erican it is a comparatively easy | matter to find out something about' him. And it the daughter of the house is too deeply in love to give a single sane or prudent thought lo her future, the same excuse cannot be offered for her father, brother, or other kin. If you happened to be a farmer, you would not open your stable and allow an utter stranger, who pre sented no credentials sis to trust worthiness, to walk off with a horse or cow. then why exercise less pru dence In the case of your daughter? genuine Doughboy not only travels "in couples, but in squads and battalions, some one is bound to know his record, or some one with whom he is acquainted or who has heard all about his doings "over there." It is very simple and requires no great ingenuity, wealth or intelligence to know something about the young man with whom your daughter proposes to spend the remainder of her life. And of you feel I am inclined to be oversuspicious, you would change your opinion if you hap pened to read my mail some morn ing. To-day brought me a letter from a girl in a desperate plight. She had gone through a marriage ceremony with an alleged soldier in a big city about fifty miles dis tant. from her "home town." He had begged her to tell no one, not even her mother, and she had obeyed him Implicitly. After two months, during which time he never permitted her to tell any member of her family about their marriage, he deserted her. Be coming desperate, she wrote to the captain of the company to which lie claimed to belong, and received a letter in reply stating he was not acquainted with any one of that name. She then turned her attention to her marriage license, which ap pears to be genuine, though she is also uncertain as to its authenti city, and with this she proposes to confront her family and tell them the truth. It seems the family had never eared much about the "hero" in the first place. From his own account, lie had done almost too much to Win the war, and they had warned the girl when he was coming to see her that his exploits were too nu merous and varied for even ten sol diers. But all to no effect. She fell deeply in love, made the secret mar- riage, and Will probably spend nng years, at least. In repenting lvw folly. When the "fake hero" to a fens eignor It is a little more difficult tfll decide on his credentials, thowH the same old rule of modesty hofcM good. The man who has done Mg things is inclined to be reticent, about them, particularly If he Is an Englishman. The British have a beautiful word called "swank." and they avoid "swank," which Is a good deaJ bVe our bunkum, as If it were mustard gas. To any one who has heard Colonel Bishop the great Canadian a\ iator, talk, it will not be neces sary to define "swank." So carefully did this modest hero a\oid every intimation of being anything but a plain soldier, and the eighty odd German planes that he downed being anything more than an all-in-the 7 day's-work stunt that he came perilously near irrita ting his audience at times, when they wanted to cheer him.
