NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE
ANOTHER SMITH
BILL IS PASSED
Measure to Change Third-
Class City Garbage
Collection Law
The Smith Senate bill to authorize
third-class cities to collect and dis
pose of ashes, garbage and waste
matter was passed in the House by
147 to 0 last night. Mr. Willson,
Allegheny, asked about the measure
and Mr. Walker, Philadelphia, said
it gave third-class cities the option
to collect ashes, etc., which in his
opinion they should have.
The House also passed the Senate
bill adding four deputies at $2,500
each to the State Bureau of Stan
dards.
The Senate resolution providing
for a Constitutional Revision Com
mission of twenty-five to be appoint
ed by the Governor and to report to
the next session, was favorably re
ported to the House by the appro
priation committee. It carries an
appropriation of $60,000.
This action means that bills for
conventions to draft a new constitu
tion are dead.
The House passed the Bigler bill
increasing salary of the deputy sup
erintendent of public instruction
from $3,000 to $4,000, but laid over
the bill providing for in
creasing salaries of clerVi stenog
raphers, attendance officers and
nurses employed by school districts.
By a vote of 146 to 5 the House
passed the Fowler bill rendering un
enforceable insurance contracts of
insurance or indemnity for liability
for death or injury of minors illeg
ally employed.
The House cleared the third read
ing calendar and arljourned at 10
p. m. until 9 p. m. Monday night.
Among the bills passed were:
Requiring standard provisions in
policies of insurance against damage
or loss through operation of any
vehicle.
Regulating admission to medical
practice of men in army or navy.
Providing for free recording of
discharges of soldiers, sailors and
marines by county recorders.
BITRO-PHOSPHATE
BEST THING FOR
THIN PEOPLE
Women >f(l It to Brine Pink Glow
of Health to Pale Cheeks nnd Fore
atnll Tell-Tnle l.lne* of Age.
Men Need It to Make Strong,
Vigorous Bodies and Steady
Nerve*.
Judging from the countless prep
arations and treatments which are
continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people fleshy,
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
phosphate known among druggists as
bitro-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-phosphate 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 flesh.
RED BLOODED
PEOPLE LIVE
THE LONGEST
Red Wooded people retain their youth
and vigor until late in life because red
blood ages slowly.
A child with impure Wood seems
old, while an old man with pure red
ironized blood seems young.
Impure blood clogs the system with
waste matters, rapidly ageing body,
mind and spirit.
Pure blood Is red Wood, rich In Iron
and Phosphates with power to rid itself
of waste matter and able to carry life
giving oxygen to every cell and nerve.
It makes both young and old bright,
happy, keen, and interested In life. This
is the blood you need, every day of your
life, the rich red blood made by pure
food, fresh air, restful sleep and "Phos-
S hated Iron the red blood and nerve
uilder".
Phosphated Iron enriches your blood
and nerves, putting them in shape for
work. Improves your color. Increases
your appetite and gives you strength,
vigor and power to enjoy both work
and pleasure, makes you feel like do
ing things once more.
Phosphated Iron Is prescribed by lead
ing doctors for all who are worn out,
run down, nervous, weak and thin
blooded people in all walks of life, they
have learned to depend on it for honest
results.
Special Notice—To insure physicians
snd their patients receiving the genu
ine Phosphated Iron, we have put In
capsules only, so do not allow dealers
lo substitute pills or tablets, insist pn
the genuine, in capsules only.

HOW TO REDUCE
VARICOSE VEINS
Many people have become despond
ent because they have been led to be
lieve that there is no remedy that
will reduce swollen veins and
bunches.
If you will get a two-otmce origi
nal bottle of Moone's Emerald Oil
(full strength) at any first class drug
store and apply It at borne as direct
ed you will quickly notice an im
provement which will continue until
the veins and bunches are reduced to
normal.
Moone's Emerald Oil is very con
centrated and a bottle lasts a long
time —that's why it is a most inex
pensive treatment. It has brought
much comfort to worried people all
over the country, and is one of the
wonderful discoveries of recent years
and always bear in mind that anyone
who is disappointed with its use can
have their money refunded. Your
druggist can supply you.
THURSDAY EVENING,
COL RICKARDS
SPEAKS IN HOUSE
Commander of the 112tli
Regiment Addresses Legis
lators; Praises Stewart
Colonel George C. Rickards, of Oii
City, who commanded the One
Hundred and Twelfth Regiment in
France, was recorded a reception in
the House of Representatives last
night and made ah address from the
rostrum, in which he praised the
men of the Eight and Sixteenth
Regiments of the National Guard,
which were consolidated into the
One Hundred and Twelfth, and sdid
that legislative support should be
given his men in civil life.
The Colonel was given a hearty
welcome by Speaker Spangler and
said in part: "It is unnecessary for
me to go back over the histoiy or
the events enacted by the Twenty-
Eighth, your Pennsylvania Division,
in the war with Germany. It is all
too fresh in your mind. I want to
say this to you, however, that had
it not been for the recognition on
the part of this House and the exec
utive officers of this State, and the
guiding hand of that glorious man,
General Thomas J. Stewart, that the
Nation would have lost one of the
strongest elements in its make-up
for warfare. I bring to you and
the good people of Pennsylvania
nothing but the highest words of
commendation and appreciation
from the men of my command.
"It was my honor to command |
the troops which were originally j
organized in the northwestern part ]
of Pennsylvania, afterwards amal-1
gamated with those of the central i
part, the Eighth Regiment, whose j
headquarters was in this citjr. As!
time went on the regiment was rep-1
resented by men of every State of
the Union, and here is an opportun-1
ity I want to take; I want to ifn-l
press on your minds, as forcibly as [
it is in my power to do, that these j
young men who have been abroad, !
and not only them, but those who.
have been waiting on the fields in \
the South and in the training camps, i
wherever they have been, only wait-!
ing for the word to carry them;
across, ready to serve their country j
in any capacity, I want to commend!
them to your earnest consideration, I
remembering that they have done a!
valorous duty, that they are worthy |
of every consideration it is possible j
for you to extend to them; that!
many of them, in fact, all of them I
are young jnen. They have learned I
the lessons of discipline; they have I
learned the lessons of war; they have
learned, in a measure, to govern i
themselves, and in this respect have j
fitted themselves better for the so-1
cial life, for the citizenship, than
they were before. So that I ask!
you, wherever these men may come ]
before you asking for your counsel, i
for your aid, whatever it may be, j
that you give them a listening ear'
and extend the hand of help wher
ever you can. I thank you for this
privilege."
Senators Want
Orchestra to Play
The concert given in the hall of!
the House last night by the State
Capitol orchestra was so well ren- •
dered and made such a big hit:
among legislators and their families, \
that £he last number had barely ]
been given before a request for a i
concert in the Senate was made.
The orchestra, which is composed
entirely of men connected with thei
State government, was directed by I
Howard C. Fry and its work was
highly praised by everyone. The
playing was spirited and the more j
difficult pieces were rendered in a I
manner that aroused the commend- j
ation of music lovers among the :
legislators and newspapermen, some j
of whom have had wide experience. <
John S. Rilling, the honorary presi-1
dent, and Director Fry were con-'
gratulated.
The closing number of the con- ]
cert, the Star Spangled Banner, was!
rendered with two pages waving big;
silk standards from the speaker j
rostrum.
THE RESCUER
Harold, aged 9. came home the I
other day in a condition as to cause
great perturbation to his mother. i
"Heavens!" exclainted his mother. j
"How on earth, Harold did you, man
age to get your clothes so frightfully !
torn?"
Tarold assumed a virtuous air.
"I tried to save a little boy from !
getting licked," he explained.
"That was good of you, darling," ;
responded his fond parent. "Who was
the little boy?"
"Me."—Dallas Morning News.

The Hess bills providing for
establishment of the Supreme and

Lancaster city and there will be
strong support.
Some of the legislators figure out
that it will not only bo more con
venient, but less expensive for the
Appellate courts to- sit in Harris
burg, while the idea of having
Pennsylvania highest courts meet in
the State capital as in other States,
is well reorganized as entirely proper.
Opposition to the bill will prob
ably come from some of the larger
cities.
Colder Bill Sent
to the Graveyard
The Golder bill requiring all mu
tual fire insurance companies to
limit policies to assets was dropped
from the calendar at request of Its
sponsor, who read a statement from
insurance Commissioner Donaldson
that representatives of 200 com
panies had agreed at conferences
to reach a plan to meet the desires
of his department. The agreement
was read to the House with this
statement:
"As result of conference held
within the past few days between
representatives of the leading mu
tual fire insurance companies of the
State and the Insurance Department,
at request of the mutual companies,
House BUI Number 1534, Is with
drawn. Representatives of the mil
Dives, Pomeroy Sc Stewart
tual com panics have expressed their
full interest in the Insurance De
partment's efforts to place the tnu
tuals of this State on a high plane
and have agreed to uppolnt -repre
sentatives with full power to act
for purposes of providing under di
rection of the insurance commis
sioner. a standard form of mutual
fire insurunce policy, to subject
theeiselves to control by the depart
ment, and to standardise, under di
rection of the department, their
methods of underwriting and ac
counting on practicable lines. The
mutuals are well aware that many
abuses have been prevalent and are
most desirous of keeping the mutual
field above criticism and complaint."
The "Noes" Have it in
the Biennial Ball Game
The "Noes" won the biennial
baseball game of the Legislature
yesterday. At least they were an
nounced as having it. The "Ayes"
made an effort, but did not reach.
The score was 7 to 2 in favor of
Captain Pike's terrors, Captain Mc-
Callum's terriers losing because they
could neither hit, run bases, bulldoze
the umpire and other essential
things.
