10 BIG PROGRAM FOR MEETING OF RED CROSS ON MONDAY prominent Speaker to Be Pres ent; Workers in Next Big Drive to Attend WBERE DOES THIS MONEY COME FROM? Inquiry was made at Red Cross Headquarters this morning as to the district from which it is hoped next week to secure 4 8,- 000 members and $30,000 cash. Harrisburg Red Cross Chap ter's district includes; Harrisburg, and all of Dauphin county except Steelton and Mid dletown. The river towns of Cumberland county, from New Cumberland to Enola. All Perry county. This territory has a popula tion of 225,000. The demand ol the Red Cross National Head quarters is a modest one. 1 In the Auditorium, Chestnut street, next Monday night, a feature of the annual meeting of Harrisburg Chap ter of the Red Cross will be the pres ence of a speaker of nationwide fame. This city, during the war and since the signing of the armistice, has heard and seen many notables, and the speaker next Monday night will be of sufficient importance to crowd the auditorium. Another feature of the meeting xrill be the reading of the annual reports of the Red Cross Chapter. Present at the meeting will be the hundreds of workers who are going to put over next week's big drive. "I Am Talcing a Wife" Captains appointed for next week's drive declared to-day that they are having no end of trouble securing workers for tl\eir teams. The inde fatigableness of large numbers of women of Harrisburg seems to have deserted them. A tabulation of ex cuses offered would show that there are several hundred varieties. On the other hand, instances are reported wherein women have put aside everything in order to help the Red Cross. "I have five children," said one woman, "and my house needs my attention, but I will certainly serve on a Red Cross team; and if there is any other woman in Harrisburg who could advance any better ex cuses than I can offer I'd like to see her. But I'll serve and be glad to." Industrial Betters Go Out Letters went out to all the city industries to-day signed by the chairman, Mrs. Marlin E. Olmsted, and the vice-chairman, Mrs. 1* rancis J. Hall. Heads of the industries are asked to lend every effort to the drive. Mrs. Olmsted, from her pre liminary survey of the field, is con fident that the industries will, to put It slangily, "come through" in great Bhape. Booths W r ill Be Out Booths will be set up during the drive in busy sections of the city. Mrs. Ross A. Hickolc has charge of this feature of the campaign. Work in the industries and at the booths will be by the members of the Canteen, who have worked so hard since the beginning of the war. HALLOWEEN SOCIAL A Halloween social will be given for the benefit of the women's rally in the First Baptist Church Friday evening. Prizes will be awarded for the best and the most comical masques.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, INTERESTING RAILROAD NEWS Health Is Big Factor in Safety First Success; Told by Pennsy Employe Health Is a big factor in success of the Safety First Movement ac cording to G. A. Keener, a carpenter employed in Lucknow shops. He says: "The problem of a sound mind in a healthy body has become a sub ject for discussion for centuries. The Greeks, who cultivated the habit of having a sound mind in a healthy body, produced the greatest painters, sculptors, teachers and philosophers. "Perfect health is one of the rich est legacies; yet it is a deplorable fact that few possess it. Perfect health is a great factor in solving the moral question of the twentieth century. One in t.he enjoyment of good health should exercise care to preserve it. It is amazing how many are more or less careless in this re spect and seemingly ignorant of the laws of health. "When sickness overtakes us fre quently little effort is required to trace the neglect that brought It about. Many on beds of sickness and death have prayed for another lease of life and obey Nature's laws. Na ture's law is a most potent factor and if strictly observed conduces to good health and longevity. The hu man body is a temple; it may be made a temple of health or one of disease, and like the temple, if not given the proper care and attention may go to pieces prematurely. It can be com pared with a frame building; the bones are the supporting timbers; the sltin the shelter; the functions of the organs are but the life within the body. "A house depreciates more rapidly by neglect than by proper use; so does the human body. The hoyise may be a frail, one by reason of being faultily constructed; likewise the body'may be the offspring of sickly parents, thus stari'ng life under ad verse! circumstances, and with a handicap. "Whht can be done with the house if no other is to be had? Make re pairs, strengthen it and keep it in re pairs by immediately remedying tlie trouble at the first sign of decay. Our bodies are all we have in this re spect and by constant attention, care and repair we maintain them in a strong, healthy and fine appearing condition for many years beyond the number allotted us. "Pure food, pure air, pure water and proper raiment are the body a requisites to supply its growth and maintenance; but if these commodi ties are furnished in an imperfect condition the natural impulses of tne bodv will also he imperfect and weak and generally results in sickness and ultimately in an untimely death. Only healthy people wear out. all others die of either accident or disease. "What an instrumentality of power for good could be accomplished in railroad circles if every employe were to exercise proper care and live a pure, clean and healthy life, having a "sound mind and a healthy body, thus eliminating untold w°e, heart ache and misery. Keep well, you owe this to yourself and familyto J our employer and to huniaiiuj • Reports Show Results in Local Safety Activities The first regular, monthly report showing the results of ties of each railroad, was made to the safetv section, M ashington of fice, October. 1918. just a Year ago.

GROVE'S signature on box. 30c.—Adv, StARRISBURO TELEGRXPH! Railroads Await Notice to Buy Ties and Material The question as to the procedure to be adopted in making purchases of ties and other railroad materials and supplies which will bo needed by the roads next year and which it is necessary to order several months in advance, is still under considera tion by tho railroad administration. The question is particularly acute in the case of cross ties, which must be ordered before the close of the year if an adequate supply is to be avail able for next year, the "Railway Age" points out in a bulletin. This was considered at a meeting of the chair man of the regional purchasing com [ mittees with officers of the division of purchases at Washington, but no decision was reached as to whether the railroad administration should place the orders in the usual course and transfer tho contracts to the railroads after the return to pri vato management or whether the corporations should be asked to make their own purchases in the same way that Director , General Walker D. Hines has suggested that they make their own arrangements, with the assistance of tho railroad administration, for proposing such a i general advance in freight rates as | they considered necessary.

RHEUMATISM CAN NOT BE CURED BY RUBBING LINIMENTS AND OINTMENTS If you arc one of the many thousand victims of torturing Rheumatism, make up your mind today that you will aban don your efforts to rub the dis ease away with liniments, lo tions, ointments, and local ap plications. Such treatment by itself is not only futile and de void of results, but is a waste of time, during which the dis ease is getting a firmer hold on your system. Rheumatism is a stubborn disease. It is not on the surface, therefore you must not expect to be able to cure it with reme dies applied to the surface. No one ever yet effected a perma nent cure in this way, so why should you continue to suffer while relying upon treatment that has failed in thousands of cases? The experience of others af flicted 'with Rheumatism is your best guide, and by follow ing their advice you can not only save yourself untold suf fering, but rid yourself of a disease that will eventually wreck your body and leave you helpless. Almost every victim of Rheumatism has practically the same experience. They are so impressed with the pains and suffering of the disease and are so anxious to get rid of them that they have treated the pains alone, and overlook ed their cause. They have rub bed with liniments, lotions and ointments in an Effort to get temporary relief, with no chance of doing themselves any perma nent good. Such was the experience of Mr. Caspus Bibb, of 2424 Tenth Avenue, Bessemer, Ala., who writes to tell how he found re lief from this terrible affliction, fie; says; ~ OCTOBER 29, 1919. Old Printers Meet After Many Years and Talk of City's Life in 1870 Joseph S. (Umbergcr, one of the old-timers on the Harrisburg Tele graph in the days when George Bergner was president and editor-in chicf and at present a resident of Chicago, came into the composing room of the. Telegraph to-day to greet his old fellow worker, Gus Blacksmith, who has been a type setter for fifty-three years in the Telegraph's composing room. Mr. Umberger is the oldest broth er of Benjamin F. Upibcrger, a well known Harrisburg attorney, and has not been in this city for twenty-one years. Meeting Gus Blacksmith this morning reminded him of 1870 when Blacksmith had finished his ap prenticeship and Umberger took his place. "My first idea of taking up news paper work came on the morning after Lincoln's assassination when I took a pile of one-sheet Telegraph extras up to Camp Curtin to sell them to the soldiers. Every one was so anxious to read about the trag edy that they never asked for change, and I made $2 8 that morn ing. I, of course, thought that the newspaper game was the one for me and so I soon was given a regular route, which covered Third street to Maclay and Front. Then there were only two cus tomers to be served above Verbcke street in Third, Dr. Relly and Dr. Porter. Many is the day I've strug gled through snow to get my papers to those houses. Old "Waxie" Miller was here then, but he was just leaving to take up the priesthood. Ho was later city clerk for a long time, I believe. I remember the llrst copy I handled was some of Colonel Dem ming's, who wafe up at the Capitol at that time, too. Tommy Cochran, John Smull and others were writing then. That was easy copy to han dle, but when it came to stuff like "Ween" Forney's, I could scarcely read it." "I'll never forget, either, the night that we were all waiting to got re turns over the wires. General Simon Cameron was there, and Billy Col der, and a lot more. I came in with some dispatches (I was a messenger boy at the time) and George Berg ner asked me what I had. When I told h'm that Philadelphia had given Grant 50,000 majority, old General Cameron smashed Billy Polder's high silk hat down over his ears and said, 'That settles it for us.' " Mr. Umberger is only here for a short time visiting his mother, Mrs. Margaret Umberger, at 1710 North Fifth street. He is still reading proof in Chicago, and is a notary public besides, lie intends to visit all his old friends before going west again. Choir Members Enjoy Outing at Stoverdale Members of the choir of Otterbein United Brethren Church and their friends held a delightful Halloween party last evening, leaving the city in a large truck for the Fisher cottage, Emory Villa, Stoverdale.

A few years ago I suffered from a severe attack of articu lar Rheumatism that rendered me almost helpless. By the use of the usual external remedies I was able to check the pain some what, but did not regain the full use of my limbs, and on cloudy days or when exposed to damp nrss or cold 1 would immediately suffer from stiff and aching joints 1 began to take S. S. S. and all symptoms at once began to dis appear. until now I have no fear of exposure to the worst sort of weather. 1 feel it, my duty to recommend S. s. S. to all who wish to free themselves from the tor turing clutches of Rheumatism." Physicians now agree that many forms of Rheumatism are caused by a germ in the blood. The pain is not the disease itself, but merely a symptom—nature's warning to you that you have been attacked The only intel ligent treatment, therefore, is through the blood; treatment dirtectcd toward eliminating the disease germ from the blood. For years nearly all the pre scriptions used by the medical profession were those contain ing iodide of potash or mer curial substances, but in nearly every case these minerals are more injurious to the system than the disease itself. One ieaoon why S. S, S. is so successful in the treatment of Rheumatism and other blood disorders is the fact that it is a purely vegetable remedy, being made from roots and herbs gathered direct from the for ests. It contains not a particle of mineral substance, and acts by driving disease germs from the blood and cleansing it of all impurities. S. S. S. has been on the market for fifty years, and almost every druggist has sold it ever since lie has been in busi ness. It is sold under an abso lute guarantee that it is purely vegetable. Our medical department is maintained for the benefit of the afflicted, and if you will write fully about your case you will be given complete advice as to the treatment necessary for your individual ease, for which no charge is made.
