Several years ago in the city df New York there was formed a society of jj||
good people who called themselves
SPUGS i
Their object was to promote the giving of useful gifts at Christmas time I
and their slogan, "Society Prevention Useless Giving."
Just now when everyone faces the problem of high costs, how sensible it I
would be if we all turned "Spugs" and selected gifts that would be useful I
and bring joy as well.

"A Real Xmas Shoe Store"
G. R. KINNEY & CO., Inc.
19 and 21 North Fourth Street
FRIDAY EVENING,
but discussion buzzed in the hotel
lobbies and elsewhere on themes of
Presidential timber and the pre
eminent qualifications of "favorite
sons."
The meeting: was presided over
by Galen L. Tait, of Maryland, sec
retary-treasurer of the organization.
Chairman Hays, of the National
Committee, made an address of
welcome.
Harmony was reported as a fea
ture of the meeting. Together with
reports from the states and de
cisions upon ways and means fot
campaigns in the states, more than
passing notice was paid to the
probable issues, national as well ■as
local.
Efforts by the opposition to make
out a case of Republicans side
stepping on the League of Nations
question were met by with square
statements in informal discussion
following the lead of earlier state
ments by Chairman Hays, who an
nounced that answers to his broad
cast queries had not touched to any
great extent on the League.
The substance of expressions of
the State Committeemen was that
they were for a League of Nations
that would not result in the sur
render of any portion of American
sovereignty.
"The. general trend of theygath
ering," said one last night, "seemed
to be that the Republican party
would be satisfied to have an
•Americanized' League of Nations.
There was no official action taxen,
but that was the sense of the meet
ing. nevertheless.
"Isn't that what the majority of
the Republican Senators have been
contending for throughout the long
series of debates on the question?"
Lowdon's Star Rising
Shifts in the apparent strength of
"booms" have been peculiar since
the gathering of the clans. In the
preliminary tryout General Leon
ard Wood was easily the favorite.
Wednesday, however, the stock of
Senator Harding, of Ohio, went
skyward, and the boomers from the
Buckeye State were correspondingly
elated.
To-day the drift seemed further
westward with the laurels seeming
ly tilted towards Illinois and the
brow of Governor Frank Lowden,
of that State. Cheer feeling is
prevalent among the Illinois delega
tion, in consequence, although it Is
recognized that surface Indications
are by no means often final.
30 MORE CLERKS
AT POST OFFICE
Thirty additional men will be em
ployed to aid the post office forces
in the city to handle the Christmas
mall Postmaster Ffank C. Sites an
nounced. Substitute clerks and mail
I carriers will be called into service
also. The postmaster urged early
mailing of all Christmas packages,
particularly those which must be
sent long distances. Persons mail
ing two or more letters or cards are
advised to face the addressed dise one
way and fasten them together with
a rubber band. This will save much
work for the mailing forces, he said.
PI'PI I. S BUY LOTS
FOB PLAYGROUNDS
Through efforts of pupils of Ruther-
I fcrd Heights schools. Swatara town
ship, sufficient funds have been raised
this year to purchase two lots adja
cent to the school property.
Shade trees and shrubbery will be
planted on the lots and some ground
will be set aside for school gardens.
Efforts are now being made to raise
funds for two more lote which with
lands owned, will provide sufficient
room for agricultural and playground
interests on a large scale.
MANY ATTEND BAZAR
The bazar and entertainment held
by women of St. Paul's Episcopal
Church, drew large attendances yes
terday. Boy Scouts to-night will
execute drills and maneuvers under
the direction of J Frederik Virgin,
scout executive. An interesting art
gallery has been prepared.

FIND BIG MARKET
Clio-Cho Appears For Last Time When He Urges Young
sters to Follow Health Rules
Red Cross Christmas Seals are
selling In the city and county and
selling fast, D. D. Hammelbaugh,
chairman of the seal committee,
said this morning, but the health
bonds being sold this year to raise
more funds to tight tuberculosis are
not in demand.
"Health bonds are offered in de
nominations of $5 to SIOO. Any one
desiring to contribute amounts
larger than a dollar or two should
buy health bonds. About eighty per
cent, of the money derivea from
their sale will be spent in this
county to combat the white plague.
City and county health officials tell
us that there are hundreds of new
cases of tuberculosis discovered
here each year, and that in Har
risburg and Steelton about 100 die
from the disease each year.
Can End Disease
"To prevent the spread of this
disease the Christmas seals and
health bonds are sold. Physicians
say that by fighting the wnite
plague for ten more years it can be
wiped out and the nation will be
free from danger. Buy bonds and
seals. Join the fight."
Health bonds can be purchased
from Mr. Hammelbaugh at his of
fice, 121 Chestnut street. No house
canvas will be made to sell them.
Those who have purchased bonds to
day follow: W. S. Esslck, Carl En

Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks, Harrisburg Lodge, two; Don
ald McCormick, John P. Guyer,

Bolsheviki Drive
Denikine's Army Back
40 Miles on Long Front
By Associated Press
London, Thursday, Dec. 12. —Bol-
shevik forces have again heavily at
tacked the left flank of General
Denikine's army and drivqn the lat
ter's volunteers back to a depth of
30 or 40 miles along a front from
three to four hundred miles long.
The reds are within fifty miles of
Kharkov and Poltava and are
swinging around to the southeast
of Kiev, which is also threatened
from the northeast, according to
news from South Russia. The situa
tion gives rise to anxiety.
On the Caucasus front, however,
the Bolsheviki have been repulsed
with heavy losses. Don Cossacks
have also been successful in pushing
back the reds. Fighting n the
southern front has curiously revert
ed to the type of the days of Water
loo. The major portion of the bat
tles are being waged by well trained
mounted men.
Mrs. Elizabeth Stone,
Wife of Ex-Governor,
Is Pneumonia Victim
Wcllsboro, Pa., Dec. 12. Word
was received here yesterday of the
death from pneumonia in a New
York hospital of Mrs. Elizabeth A.
Stone, wife of former Governor Wil
liam A. Stone, of Pennsylvania, now
prothonotary of the Supreme Court
in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Stone was a daughter of the
late Judge Robert Gray White, of
Wellsboro.
Frick Will Made Before
War Profits Doubled Estate
Pittsburgh, Dec. 12. Henry Clay
Frick, late steel magnate, art collect
or and multimillionaire, made his will,
disposing of some 1143,000,000 worth
of property. In the early part of 1915,
it was learned here to-day.
With the benefit of four years' war
profits, his properties have probably
enhanced in value twice as much as
when the will was made.
Four or five months must elapse be
fore the final inventory of the will 13
completed. Charles A. Snyder, audi
tor general, said to-day.
The Federal tax, which is to be col
lected from the bequests, was found
to be 25 per cent., which, by the terms
of the will, must be deducted from
the residuary estate. It is almost an
assured fact now the bequests will
bo reduced at least 50 per cent, al
though the tax Is to be collected only
from the net estate, that part of the
estate not bequeathed to charity or to
the public.
Pennsylvania's tax wIM amount to
approximately 35,000,000 it is aaid to
day, while the Federal tax, according
to a conservative estimate will be
115.000,000.

Dublin, Thursday, Dec. H.—Sol
diers and policemen who to-day
searched the Mansion House, or City
Hall, were this evening stationed,
with fixed bayonets, in an automo
bile garage in the immediate vicin
ity. The raid was made for the pur
pose of suppressing the Christmas
fair, which is held annually by the
Gaelic League for the display of
Irish manufactures.
LIEUTENANT ROMERO MARRIES
Lieutenant E. A. Romero, who hud
been in charge of colored work of

with Mr. and Mrs. John H. Early,
912 Green street. The young coupie
will visit Canada on their honey
moon.
close next Wednesday and during
the last few days it is hoped that
most of the health bonds can be
sold.
To-day Christmas seal booths
were opened in the post office,
Penn-Harris hotel and the Penn
sylvania Railroad station. Girl
Scouts were In charge selling the
seals, and many persons who had
not purchased any earlier in the
week, bought from them.
Cho-Cho, the famous health
clown, closed his five-day stay in
Harrisburg with a public health
meeting this afternoon at 3 o'clock
at the Chestnut Street Auditorium.
Pupils from the buildings in the
central district, from the West
Shore, private and parochial
schools, saw and heard the clown in
his farewell appearance.
1,500 in Middletown Theater
Yesterday he was at Middletown.
More than 1,500 school children of
that borough and vicinity crowded
into the Realty theater to see him,
and when he finally climbed to the
stage there wasn't even standing
room in the large auditorium. '
During his visit to Harrisburg
Cho-Cho was seen by at least 11,-
000 school children of the city,
Steelton, Hlghapire and Middletown.
To-morrow he will be at Yonkers,
New York, and after that he will
appear in cities in Virginia and
Delaware for one month.
Public health officials, social and
child welfare workers are unani
mous In their opinion that Cho-
Cho's work in the city has been of
much value to the youngsters, bene
fiting them more than any other
health educational program would
have helped them.

211 Market Street
Market Square as It Was
Many Years Ago Is
Depicted Before Society
Early recollections of Market Square
were related by J. C. kawn, civil en
gineer, of 313 North Second street, at
last evening's meeting of the Dauphin
County Historical Society.
Stories were told of the place of
Houser and Lockman, on the south
east corner of Market Square, adjoin
ing the then noted hostelry of Wells
Coverly. Ephraim M. Pollock's book
store and a number of other places in
and about the Square were the con
gregating place of Rawn and friends
at that time, he told.
He recalled visits of Kossuth as
well as Albert Edward, Prince of
Wales, to Washington Tavern. Kos
suth visited here on January 14, 1852,
and set the fashion for slouch hats,
himself wearing one decorated with
a feather during his visit.
Short sketches, too, were drawn of
some of the well-known Harrisburg
people of the time.

IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat, also take glass of
Salts before eating
breakfast
Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache and feel like lumps
of lead. The urine becomes cloudy;
the bladder is irritated, and you may
be obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them
flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person short
ly. At first you feel a dull misery
in the kidney region, you suffer from
backache ,sick headache, dizziness,
stomach gets sour, tongue coated
and you feel rheumatic twinges
when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of wa
ter; also get from any pharmacist
four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged
kidneys apd stimulate them to nor
mal activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine, so it no longer is a
source of irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active. Drug
gists here say they sell lots of Jad
Salts to folks who believe in over
coming kidney trouble while it is
only trouble.
