•'ln planuiog the highway system
or the main market roads, it will be
found necessary to omit many roads
| the improvement of which is greatly
I desired by abuttiug land owners. The
| fact that such property holders must
I pay a tax for the bond issue is only
I an apparent injustice, for if the high
! way system is well planned the en
i :ire couutv will feel the benefits of the
• improvement. As a rule, main market
| roads reach the majority of producing
areas. and when they are improved alt
land values tend to increase.
"The fact that cities and larger
j towns are frequently taxed for bond
! issues to building highways outside of
j their own limits is sometimes made a
i point of debate in bond elections. It
i Is argued that because a large part of
the county wealth is within the
I corporate limit of such cities and
towns, highway bond money should
1 also be used to construct the ; r streets.
; It is even urged that the expenditure
! should be made proportionate to the
| assessed valuation within the city lim-
I its. If the proceeds of highway bond
i s-ues were distributed in this way,
their purpose in many eases would be
| defeated. The primary object of the
county highway bond issue is to build
county market roads and not to im
prove city streets, although a high per
centage of the assessed valuation may
be city property. It is now known tl'at
the expenditure of city taxes on coun
try roads is a sound principle and that
■t is one of the best features of State
ail for highway.-. In Massachusetts
the city of Boston pays possibly 10
; ,ier ,-ont. of the total State highway
fuuj. but not a mile of State-aid high
way has been built within its limits.
New York City also pays about 00
per cent, of the cost of the State hi;li
wav bonis. Some State laws prohibit
the expenditure of proceeds of -tit
highway bonds within corporate limits
of cities or towns.
"The improvement of market roads
[results in mpoved inarketiii* condi
i tiors which benefit tile city. Mos,
I cities are essential.v depeudeut upon
, the surrounding country for the'.:' pro
perity and development. The I'.evo o"-
ment of suburban property for re.t:-
lence purposes is aiso dependent upon
I highway conditions and it is becoming
evideut yearly twt whatever
for an ine ease in riral uopulatioi
must be encouraged. Binc<> the intro

w:;Cs are used to an increasing exten

uaiut:iin:n(f many coaiitv highways has

of city owned motor vjhicles. The

TUBHRCULOSts_DAY NOV. 29
Educational Campaign Against Ter

After Thanksgiving
!n :::i effort to ascertain iiow serlo-is
a problem tuberculosis-is to the aver
age imri-h congregation of the L'niti I
States, ihe Nat local Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubcrcu-,
losis publishes to-day a report which
shows that in iicar.y 3,000 churches'
in ;! i different States, ono funcril ill
every ten is due to this single disease.
Through a questionnaire sen: out a.l
over the country, 2.552 ekrgymcii
representing 1,61>3.300 communicants
or parishioners gave replies teUiii" ; t
how mauy funerals they ofliciated or
the year "endin: August*3l, 1011: how
many of tiiese were due to tuberculo
sis; how many living cases of tuber
uiosis they now have in their parishes
and how many communicants or >i:-
ishioners. There were 36.79S deaths
' : o-n ail causes reported, showing a
death rat.- of 229.4 per 10.000 pop.i
i : n. which is considerably higher
than the corresponding rate for the en
tire country. 138.7 in 1912. This high
:eatii rate is probably due to the fa t
that pastors of churches officiate at
many funeral- of others than mem
bers or communicants. whiie their
membership reports, are taken from
actual records.
As indicating the extant of the
tuberculosis problem in the average
church the figures .-now that 10.3 per
cent, of all the funerals reported were
•aused by tuberculosis, and that, in
addition to the 3,, 94 deaths from this
disease, thp ministers had 4.23 4 living
cases now under their, pastoral super
vision. In one year, therefore, the 2.-
852 .lunches were caring for 8.04S
cases of tuberculosis, or an average of
nearly three for . each congregation.
The average size of the congregations
was 56, which would indicate that
the:c is a case of tuberculosis develop
ing each year for every twenty church
members.
Laxative Bromo

This is the season when toothache. !

speedily.
The lint water bag is invaluable for
a first aid in any of the above troubles.
Hot flannel or a bag filled with hot salt
or hot sand is a good substitute.
Toothache remedies should be kept ,
on hand in the medicine closet. The j
toothache gum that sells for ten cents
a package and is put on the gum. oi in
the cavity t-f the tootli, gives relief i
very quickly to it soothes the nerve j
ami draws out the soreness. Dentists j
yan give little help as long as the tooth !
is paining but as soon as tlu> pain stops ;
consult a doctor and have a filling put j
: in. Even "firs!" tooth should be filled i
i or the longer they stay iu the gums the !
stronger the second teeth will be.
Oil of cloves is a remedy for tooth- j
| ache. A bit of cotton Ls saturated and l
the cavity covered with it, but it bites
the tongue and children object to it. [
-For ulcerated sore teeth split a raisin i
in half itndQlav it on the gum or around ]
. the tooth. A bit of fig mav be used if ■
you have no raisin. Both draw out the j
pain and soreness and are recommended j
i>y excellent dentists.
Karache is as painful as toothache
and much more dangerous. .Neglected.

John Drew
( linrles Frohman has been extremely
generous in surrounding .Mr. Drew with
a splendid supporting company. Tlio
role of the girl to whom the prodigal
owes his reformation is played by Miss
Mart hit I led man, agreeably recalled for
the pleasant impression she made on
American playgoers when seen here two
seasons ago with John Mason in "The
Attack." Needless to say, Mr. Froh
man lias produced "The Prodigal Hus
band" with the customary Frohman
thoroughness and good taste, the set
tings being splendid specimens of the
scene-builders' art. Since the action of
"The Prodigal Husband" occurs in and
near Paris opportunity is given the la
dies of Mr. Drew's company to exhibit
some extremely charming frocks, a note
always of interest to the feminine ptjr
tion of Mr. Drew's following. Adv.
"Madam President"
One of the big successes of the pa-t
season in New York and ■Chicago was
the French farce comedy "Madam
President" with beautiful Fannie Ward
as the star which is to ( be seen at the
Majestic Thursday evening. Six coun
tries hailed "Madam President" as
the most successful as well as the fun
hi eat farce of recent years. First Paris
laughed over it for a year, and then for
a iii<e period Berlin added her laughs
and plaudits, and it may be said in
passing that when Berlin and Paris can
laugh at the same fun it must be some
fun indeed, and of au international ap
peal. To clinch the success Vienna
next took the play to its bosom and
Italy followed suit when the play was
presented iu Milan. Then followed the
New N ork run and the simultaneous
presentation in London. Everywhere
it was acclaimed as the big laughing
success of the decade and Miss Ward
was accorded the palm as the best Go
bette who ever essayed the leadiug role.
So "Madam President" has the unique
distinction of having been a success in
six countries anil in four languages.
Two of the best known dramatists in
France, Maurice Henncquin and Pierre
Vc'ber, are the authors of the play. It
is one of startling surprises, continuous
laughs and real heart interest. Adv.
'' September Morn''
Now for something now theatrically.
Rowland and Clifford's big production,
a musical play named "September
Morn," comes to the Majestic Saturday
matinee and night and is a lively piece
with music which introduces a big com
pany of fifty people. The chorus trips
through the latest tangos, shark >swi<ii
dips and the hesitation dances fetching
ly, over which the country has fairly
gone wild. The scenery and costuming
\ are brilliant. A great cast are among
the principals and the chorus is mad.*
up mostly of girls, pretty of face and
I figure, superbly costumed. This com
j panv just closed a happy, successful
: run at the LaSallc Opera House. The
management have invited the football
| teams to occupy boxes at the evening
performance. Adv.
At the Orpheum
"Have vouv been to the Orpheum's
' I>ll wll Party f " will be the expres
! sion that will soon be going the rouuds
| in Harrisburg. Because Bart Mcllugh's
; rollicking "kid" act of that title, hold*
the coveted position at the L}cuit
i street playhouse this week and it is
said to be the most tuneful and merry
melange of song, dance and youthful
i pranks that anybody could wish to sec.
Featured in "The Lawn Party" is Hi I
ly Dooley, comedian, who it might be
interesting to note is the brother of
Johnny Dooley who with Yvcttc Rugel
proved to be great favorites at the Or
pheum just two weeks ago. Also dainty
Uuth Royc. the charming singer of
! popular songs, makes her first Vtjcal ap
j pearauee ou this bill. Miss Royc comes
to Harritdiurg aimo-t direct from a six
weeks' engagement at the Palace The
atre, Broadway's most important vaude
villc theatre. sh t > seems to be' .just the
type of a girl that usually pleases Har
risburg audiences and she will likely of
| f'er a budget of songs that will be
! whistled about the streets after she has
; been here a day or two. Thrilling uth
j letes are the Abou Hamad Troupe, won
; ilerful Arabian tumblers, who only re
cently severed their association with
■ the Gertrude Hoffman show.
Other important features will in
j dude Conlin, Steele and Carr, the spir
ted trio of entertainers, two of them
I comedians and the other a pretty girl,
i who 011 different occasions scored with
| their spirited frolic., piano playing anil
clever nonsense. And "The Aurora of
Light," a magnificent posing act, will
be another of the interesting turns.
I Eight Keith turns of unusual excellence
i are included in the lineup that bursts
t on our vision for the first time to-day.
Adv.
At the Colonial
"Billy's Santa Claus" is the title of
| a farce comedy that J. C. Lewis and
| company will present as the important
| attraction of the Keith bill that goes
I on view at the Colonial Theatre to-day.
! The theme of the playlet deals with the
1 reformation of a child's father, who
| comes to his home at Christmas in the
i guise of Santa Claus, after he has been
| away a long time and his family sup
I posed him dead. Comedy and pathos arc
j happily interwoven and it is interesting
| and well played. Other features will in
clude the Oxford Quartet, male liarmon
ists; Wilson and Pearson, eccentric
comedians, and The Brightons, present
ing "A Novelty in Bags." "The
Painted Laity," with Blanch Sweet in
the leading role, will be the feature at
traction in moving pictures during the
first half of the week. This picture-is
! not only popular because of the pres
! enee of Miss Sweet, but Dorothy Gish,
: another favorite, is seen in it, the two
girls playing the parts of sisters. "The
Painted Lady" is said to be the very
height of the scene-builders' art.
