Tells How Thin Folks
Can Put on Flesh
and Get Strong
People who have tried it—and hun
dreds of folks right here In Harris
burg. have done so —say that If you
are weak, thin, nervous, rundown
and can't sleep nights, the quickest,
surest and best way to get strong,
put on flesh, have nerves of steel and
be able to sleep well. Is to take a 6-
grain tablet of Illood-Iron Phosphate
with every meal. The almost invari
ably remarkable benefit following the
• use of Blood-Iron Phosphate is said
\ to be due to the fact that it does two
things—feeds the nerves and sup
plies Iron to the blood. So uniform
ly successful are the reports from
those who have used It that Geo. A.
Gorgas as well as all other leading
druggists now supply lllood-lron I
Phosphate under a guarantee of sat
isfaction or money back. Inasmuch
as three weeks' treatment costs only
$1.50 if you like it —nothing if it fails
—every weak, thin. nervous, run
down, anaemic man or woman should
begin the use of lllood-lron Phos
phate to-day and get back on the
road to healtn. strength and happi
ness without delay.

TUESDAY EVENING, mLRRTSBXJRO <BSBB6fIL TELEGKXPH JULY 15, 1919.
These counties have been specializ
ing in wheat this year. It is reported
from several other counties, but not
to such a severe extent.
Heavy losses are feared in some
districts, notably Lebanon, where
Prof. W. A. McCubbin, assistant di
rector of the Bureau of Plant Indus
try, found fine looking wheat in
fected. A study of the disease is
being made and tests of means to
prevent it are being worked out.
The scab is recognized by a pink
tint and it is blamed on the weather
conditions. One theory is that it is
prevalent where corn has been
raised.
The report on the wheat for June
showed a decline and July will show
worse in many sections, it is pre
dicted.
To Eliminate Pests—A series of
studies is under way in several cit
ies of the State to demonstrate how
mosquitoes can be controlled. These
tests are being made with assistance
of officers of the State Department
of Health, some bad spots having
been selected. It is the hope to ex
tend the campaign for elimination
of the pests extensively this sum
mer and to organize it as much as
possible next spring under the act
Just approved.
Mergers Go—The Public Service
Commission has approved the ap
plications for merger of several
electric companies chartered for
Beaver county into the Harmony
Electric system. The formal pa
pers will be issued in a few days.
Want Claims—The Atlantic lie
fining Co. has filed claims with the
Public Service Commission for rep
aration of alleged excess freight
charges on the New York Central,
Erie and Pennsylvania systems. The
claims are for the month of Muy,
1918, and involve hundreds of dol
lars.
Kond Contracts Let—Three State
highway contracts aggregating over
three-quarters of a million dollars
have been let by Highway Commis
sioner Sadler with orders for work
to start as soon as possible. The
awards are as follows:
York county, York, Spring Gar
den and Springfield townships, from
York city to Loganville borough,
32,744 feet, to William H. Goll,
trading as John Goll & Co., Phila
delphia, $254,387.53.
Bradford county, North Towanda
township, 45,051 feet, to Towanda
Construction Co., New Albany,
$434,985.20.
Somerset county, Elk Lick town
ship, between Salisbury and Mason
& Dixon's line. 10,554 feet, to B J.
Lynch & Co., Meyersdale, $99,904.7^.
General Bill the
Largest Ever Known
Provision for more than $3,000,000
on account of the bond issue for road
improvement is contained in the gen
eral appropriation bill upon which
Governor Sproul is now at work.
One Item is for $1,400,000 for the
sinking fund and the other is $l,-
785,000 for interest. The bonds will
be issued shortly, certificates having
been sent to the buyers.
The general bill is the largest in
size and in amount carried on rec
ord, containing over $44,500,000 and
having 105 pages. There are con
siderable changes due to reorgani
zation of departments, creation of
new places und increases of salaries,
some of them being contingent upon
approval of various bills.
Another change is that legislators
are to be paid one-tlfth of the total
salary each month for the first four
months instead of the old rate, the
balance to be paid upon final ad
journment. The sum of $50,000 is
carried to pension State employes
who may be retired under State laws
and an appropriation of $25,000 is
made to take votes of soldiers in
actual military service and a like
sum to pay substitutes for State offi
cials or employes who may be in
the army or navy on leave. Pro
vision is also made for the portraits
of ex-Governor Martin G. Brum
baugh and exLleutenant Governor
Frank B. McClain to be placed in
the proper departments.
The Pennsylvania Historical Com
mission is appropriated $15,000;
State Art Commission, $10,000; State
Board of Public Grounds and Build
ings for lands for State institutions,
$15,000; Commission for State
Eastern Hospital for Insane at Se
lipsgrove for land, $lO,OOO, and for
barracks for State Police in this
city, $75,000.
STEAI.S HEADSTONE
Eugene, Ore.— For many years E.
C. Lake, a Eugene marble worker,
has had no door to bis salesrooms,
as he thought no one would steal
tombstones. Recently he reported
to the police that a headstone had
been stolen. It was a stone without
marking, and Lake said he believed
the person who took It was preparing
for a future decoration of his own
grave.
WAR BRIDES ENTERTAINED
AT "Y. W." HOSTESS HOUSE
Given Physical Inspection, Teeth Examined, and Taught to
Sew Before Leaving For America With Husbands
St. Nazaire, France, July 15.
French brides of American soldiers
on their way from France to their
new homes in America are enter
tained in the Hostess House here
until they and their husbands are
ready to go on board a steamer.
Thus far, eighty-one of these newly
made American wives have been
taken care of in this temporary
home for brides.
The work of caring for them is
conducted by the Young Women's
Christian Association with five
workers under the charge of Miss
Mary Fay. The house was opened
May 1, and is located in a grove
of trees outside the limits of the
men's camp.
The wives many of whom had
never been more than twenty miles
from their homes before are met at
the station with an automobile and
taken to the Hostess House where
they are given a thorough physical
inspection, teeth examined and any
necessary work to be done on them
Is here done. After this they are
given the opportunity to bathe,
change their clothing and are as
signed a bed in one of the spick
and span dormatories. Their life
from the non until the time they
board the boat is chiefly occupied
in learning the English language,
sewing and exercises and recreations
of various kinds in the mornings
and with their husbands in the af
ternoons.
Ten days is the average time each
girl spends in this camp. From It
she is taken directly to the boat
where she again meets her husband,
he having been transferred from his
organization to a casual company
so that they can take the same boat
back. That the Government Is do
ing everything In Its power to make
their life while still in the army a
happy one Is very evident.
A month ago It was estimated
that accommodations for flfty-flve
would be ample for this camp. That
was less than a month ago. To-day
there are accommodations for one
hundred and twenty and more bar
racks are being built. The 15th Cav
alry alone brought fifty-one newly
married men and their wives. And
now that the Service of Supply
troops are going through here so
fast it is suspected that the Hostess
House may bo swamped, for these
troops, unlike the combat troops,
have been stationed in one place
most of their time over hero and
have had the opportunity to win and
wed some dainty French girl.
Rice Graft Expose
Expected in Japan
Washington, July 15.—Japan is in
the throes of a great murder sensa
tion which promises to uncover a
national scandal in connection- with
the rice administration, acording to
advices from Tokio. As a result of
police investigation. Ken Yamada,
bachelor of agriculture, an official
of the foreign rice bureaeu in the
Department of Agriculture and Com
merce, is charged with conspiring
with Sozo Watanabe, his friend and
follow graduate, who lived with him,
to murder Benzo Susuki, a wealthy
rice merchant of Yokohama, on the
night of May 31.
Yamada took a bribe of 50,000
yen ($25,000) from Suzuki on May
24, promisin-g to have the latter ap
pointed as an agent of the govern
ment to deal in foreign rice, accord
ing to the Tokio press.
Developments subsequent to the
murder Indicate that startling dis
closures of a scandal in connection
with the foreign rice trade are about
to be made. Three prominent firms
appear to be involved, and rumors
are current that others of even the
highest rank, as well as important
government officials, are involved in
the scandal.

Germany Increased
Gold During War,
But Lost This Year
Washington, July 15. —Germany In
creased her stock of gold during the
war, but lost $122,000,000 between
January 1 and May 7 of this year,

from those countries, and by ship
ments to neutral countries to finance
purchases of food.

gold at the outbreak of the war, the
German Reichsbank increased its
metal to $539,000,000 at the end of
1918.
The Federal Reserve Bar.-ks of this
country and the Bunk of England
increased their holdtngs of gold, but
the Bank of France and the Bank
of Italy showed decreases.
Inflation of paper money to meet
war expenses was greatest in* Austria-
Hungary, where the increase in four
years was from $431,000,000 to $B,-
713,000,000, the ratio of gold cover
to combined deposit and note liabili
ties declining to one-half of 1 per
cent. In Germany the increase in*
bank notes was from $692,000,000
to $5,285,000,000, with still further
issues this year.
