10 MARCH ACTS TO AID ARMY Chief of Staff Declares Offi cers at Liberty to Give Views as to Future Policy Wasldngton, Sept. 4.—Army offi cers appearing before Congress to give their views as to the nation's future military policy need have no fear of incurring the displeasure of their superiors, the House Mili tary Committee was told late yester day by General March, chief of staff, who appeared as the first wit ness in hearings on the War De partment bill for reorganization of the Army on a peace basis. Chairman Kahn had explained that several officers had told him privately that their appearance in to some features of the department's reorganization plan might react against them. "Would officers be reprimanded or detailed to out of way places?" asked Chairman Kahn. "Certainly not," said the witness. "I hope and Stop Itching Skin — J There is one safe, dependable treat ment that relieves itching torture and skin irritation almost instantly and that cleanses and soothes the skin. Ask any druggist for a 35c or $1 bottle of Zemo and apply it as directed. Soon you will find that irritations, pimples, blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm and similar skin troubles will disappear. A little Zemo, the penetrating, satis fying liquid, is all that is needed, for it lianishes most skin eruptions, makes the skin soft, smooth and healthy. TN> " V/. Rcre Co.. Cleveland. O.

' LYDIA E.PINKHAM MEDICINE CO.. LYNN.MASS. THURSDAY EVENING, , BXBWSBUKG TEEEGTOtPH " SEPTEMBER 3, 1919, urge the committee will set every , expression possible from the Army." | Hundreds of automobiles, many of them uncrated, have been held in fields at Camp Holabird, Balti more, since last February awaiting sale by the government. Special House War Investigating Commit- j tee was told to-day by Major It. S. i P. Evans, stationed at the Balti- I more camp. Asked by Chairman Reavis. Ne braska, how many automobiles were exposed at the camp, Evans said 4,000 were uncrated and 7,000 more were in pine crates. Delivery of trucks and pleasure cars from the factories continued until five months ago, Evans said. Secretary Baker is asked in a resolution adopted to-day by the Senate for information as to the number of commissioned officers and civilians together with their pay now attached to the office of the Chief of Staff in Washington. The measure was offered by Senator Chamberlain, Democrat, Oregon. Two Texans Admit Packers Paid Way Washington. Sept. 4. Heads of the two largest packing concerns in the United States outside of the "Big Five," a scattering of stock raisers and meat dealers, and a representative of Chicago Board of Trade were among opponents of the Kenyon and Kendrick bills for the regulation of the packing industry heard by the Senate Agriculture Committee. Senator Kenyon, Republican, of lowa, cross-examined W. D. Rey nolds and J. H. Nail, two Fort Worth, Texas, ranchers, bringing out admission that they had been paid expenses by the packers after appearing before Congressional committees on a previous occasion when legislation considered inimical by the "Big Five" was under con sideration, but both men insisted they did not expect reimbursement for' the trip. Life's Problems Are Discussed lty Mrs. Wilson Woodrow One of the greatest of the -oogles that fret the heart of youth Is an overpowering sense of responsibility, the urge to set the world in order im mediately. Youth goes out of its way to bind burdens on its shoulders which mel lower middle age blithely discards. In youth we realize painfully that most things about us are all wrong, and that most of the people with whom we are associated are blind to their best interests. Instead of taking the road which we are quite willing to point out will lead to their ultimate happiness, they insist on branching off into all sorts of crooked by-paths. But In spite of our convictions and our strenuous ef forts to set things straight, the world jogs along more or less comfortably. A girl of fifteen, and still in school, has written me a tearful letter of her efforts to better the home. "My mother works hard, very hard, but still she could do her work in a sanitary way, and she does not. My sisters tell me I have no right to in terfere with mother, but I must con fess that I am ashamed of her house keeping. "Mrs. Woodrow, I cannot bear It. I hate dirt. I firmly believe that clean liness is next to godliness. I mean no harm: I simply am looking for the good of my family. When I return from school I do many things to keep the house looking clean, and so en deavor to make things easier for my mother, but she doesn't appreciate it." The letter goes on in the same vein, and seems to prove that the lot of the self-appointed missionary is a hard one, and that gratitude is not listed high among Its rewards. It would also seem that the path of this particular young reformer is not strewn with roses. It looks like an other case of the Irresistible force coming In contact with the lmmov-. able body. 4 Of course, if things are as bad as she says it must be a very Irritating situation. Disorderly surroundings are a perpetual thorn in the flesh to an orderly spirit. One can counsel the philosophical outlook, but youth has a very limited stock of that valu-1 able commodity. Yet what has she gained by lier militaristic methods? Further on in her letter she says: "My mother de- : tests me, and so do the rest of the family," which is probably a very ex- j a%gerated statement, but she has no j doubt by her present system of fault- i finding and criticism succeeded in an- j tugonizing her relatives, and she ad- J mits that her efforts have not been \ successful. Life is a series of compromises. To j live happily, we must shut our eyes i to many tilings. The art of being j gracefully blind is worth cultivating. ! Also we must grant to others the right | to live after their own fashion. No ] one constituted this girl the overseer of the household; her mother occupies that position. If the daughter had been more tactful she might have in terested the mother in various ways of j getting quicker and more satisfactory j results; but she has gone about her reforms in the wrong way. It is not a pretty thing for a young ! girl who spends most of her time in j school to criticize her mother's way i of running the household. Her mother j may not be a capable and most etli- j cient housekeeper; but, nevertheless, i as the daughter confesses, she "works I hard, very hard." Her way of do- j ing things may not be according to the best modern standards, but it is I her way, and she is now probably too i old to change. The older sisters are j quite right when they tell the younger j that it is not her place to interfere, j "But," she may ask, "what am I ; to do? Am I to sit down in untidy, j disorderly surroundings and try to j make myself contented?" Certainly not. But Instead of fret ting yourself to a frazzle, cultivate | a little philosophy. When we cannot ( change things, we must let them go. j Really, about all one can do in the world is to look after himself, phy sically, mentally, morally and spiritu ally. It is a difficult and dangerous thing, too, to try and reform others. If they need us they will come to us and ask our aid. but most people merely want to be let alone to work out their own destiny in their own way. So, since you are only responsible for yourself, cherish your native fas tidiousness. It is a beautiful quality, but excess in anything, even in a vir tue, is neither orderly nor lovely. Keep your own room spick and span. You cannot be too dainty personally. You have then fulfilled your whole duty. It is a waste of effort to try to reform people who do not wish to, be reformed. If I were you I would devote my-1 self to my studies, and then forget the annoyances. If after leaving school you are still not happy in your home and have taken up some remun erative occupation, you can then con sider the question of living elsewhere. KIPONA (By Margaret M. Clark, 340 S. 17th St., Harrisburg. Pa.) Two hundred years! Two hundred years'. It seems 'twere but a dream. That time has wrought so great a change Along the Susquehanna stream. See! the stretch of "sparkling water," See! the "islands" clothed In green. Onward rolls the Susquehanna, Broad, branching river, in beauty seen. Do you love a scene of beauty rare? Turn your eyes towards the stream, Of the sparkling Susquehanna, By its banks so cool and green. As the 6Un is slowly sinking, Beyond the hills far to the we3t, Casting gleams of untold beauty As it calmly sinks to rest. Slanting out across the water Rainbow hues we surely see, More dim grows the lovely vision j Soon 'twill fade from you and me. Y'es! but turning footsteps home- | ward. Glancing towards the eastern sky, ] Lo! Behold, the moon has risen, Sheds its beauty from on high. . True! across the self same water, As the sun has sunk to rest. "Moonbeams" scatter o'er the rip- ■ pies, On its calm, its peaceful breast. j Now has risen, oh! such wonders! "Music! Sports!" Like "Fairyland Dreams" Enter all, in celebrating, Learn what "Kipona Keystone" means. Can we see a sight more lovely? Could we find a friend more true? "Harris loved the natural beauty- Built his "Home," his prospects grew. j Here now stands "Progressive City" | Loyal! Honored! How swiftly too; Far along the Susquehanna, A city "Beautiful," through and through. Now, we celebrate its "Birthday" And recall the times gone by— When, all hours, men njust hearken, Indians! Indians! That dread "War Cry." Onward flows the Susquehanna, Peaceful, too, along its shore, Happy in our "Homes of Freedom," Peace shall reign "forever more." "Kipona" is an Indian name, We love it more and more; For "Sparkling Waters," thus it stands, Brimful, from shore to shore. Roll on, you beautiful, wonderful i stream! From shore to hill tops grow I Most "Beautiful Homes," "Great Factories," too, With "Pride," our "True Virtue" we show. CONDUCTOR GOT ENOUGH "Fare, please!" "My money is in the box!" "Nix on that stuff. You went right by." "Bet your life I did. I been waitin' two hours for a chance to get inside." "Forget it. Poy your fare and cut out the bull." "Get off your foot. I dug up once." "Where'd yuh get on?" "Water street." "Yes, you did. What happened at River street just now?" "Well, at River street, for one thing, a woman handed you a quar ter and you bluffed her out of her change; at Hill street four people got on and you rang up three fares; at Prairie street, when you changed that $5 gold piece—" At this point the conductor de cided he had enough. Move on!" he shouted. "There's plenty W room up front. Don't be I blockiir the gangway." San Fran cisco Chronicle.
