WELCOMING NEW CITIZENS The reception to be given m Philadelphia the latter par; ol next mouth to almost four thousand newly admitted citizens will be the tirst affair of its kind in the I'nited States. Although this eouu try began with aliens and has ever since been ad mitting multitude* of foreigners to citizenship, the idea of welcoming publicly with appropriate cere monies the newly made Americans has not sug gested itself until re -eutly. when somebody in Phil adelphia got hold of it. That the plan should have found favor is natural, since it has not only novelty but also the possibility of making better citizens of the new Americans he cause they will be properly impressed through the proposed ceremonies with the importance of the step they are taking and of the responsibilities in volved. Tue presence of President Wilgon, who is scheduled as the principal speaker, will give the first reception of its kind more than local impor auce. Not only Philadelphia, but the I'nited states will be giving a formal welcome to persons if foreign birth declaring allegiance to the Stars ind Stripes and entering upon the privileges and luties of American citizenship. The conditions on which aliens are granted the franchise in this country are not only that they (ave lived here for tivi> consecutive years and are ible to speak the English language, but also that hey are of good character and have some knowl edge of the Constitution and of the methods of gove rnment. The chances are therefore that they will •ft en make better citizens than such native Ameri ans as may be entitled to citizenship simply be ause of birth in the country, and not by reason of dual fitness to cast votes and iu consequence of etive endeavors on their part to have the precious irivileges bestowed upon them. Immigrants to the United States who after some ears decide to take up their residence permanently i the republic, and, losing sight of the virtues of heir native lands while considering the vaster ad antages of their adopted country apply for natur lization. deserve more than passing notice from lieir new fellow citizens. When men transfer their llegianee from one flag to another it seems fitting iiat they should be made welcome under the new anner with ceremonies more inspiring than the lere filling out of the necessary papers. SHIP OWNERS USING CARE Although steamship companies have within the ia* few days been refusing to accept merchandise >r transportation from this country to Switzerland, y way of Italy, it is not likely that the refusals ill continue any great length of time. Indications re that the condition is temporary and that as soon i certain complications can be overcome, the usual lipment of goods to the small republic will be re imed. The government of Switzerland has been unable satisfy the British authorities that Swiss mer tants are not acting as agents for the Germans and 1 not sliding supplies across the border to the bel jerents. As a consequence it seems that the Brit ti have held up at Gibraltar ships bearing mer tandise which was desfined avowedly for Switzer nd but which the British thought might possibly id its way farther north if they permitted it to it by them. The steamship companies of course do not care r too many interferences with the progress of the ipa on their lines and prefer not to handle goods HARKtSBTTBQ BTAR-DTDEPENDBNT. TUESDAY EVENING. MARCH 16. 1915. when such handling is likely to meet with British disapproval. They may be forced to bar exports to Scandinavian countries as well as to Switzerland, it appears, unless these countries assure the Allies in some satisfactory way that shipments which they receive from the United States do not find their ultimate abiding place in Germany. The precau tions may be necessary, but no doubt, only for the time being It ean reasonably be expected that ad justments will be made without great delay. This balmy weather should bring out a good crop of Shamrocks to-morrow. It would hardly be safe to search the members of Pennsylvania party at Newport News for flaaks on the hip. We do not believe that even the Antis object very seriously to submitting' the suffrage proposition to the polls. The fine quality of Harrisburg'g streets ought to appeal to the visiting autoists as a reason why they should come again. There will be fewer headaches to-morrow anioug the members of the launching party than if Governor Brum baugh had cot been along.

Bill Smith, who runs the business, he Hath large and sinewy hands; And the muscles of his brawny arms Are strong enough—my lands! His hair is crisp and black and short.

He takes the thing apart. 0 And tenderly he monkeys with That automobile's heart I'ntil —O man of skillsome pith!— He makes its pulses start. The children coming home from school Look in at the open door. They like to see the autosinith Recline upon the floor Beneath the car and grunt. "By gar! This carburetor's sore."

Adv. [Tongue-End Top icsj Prayer Offered at Launching At the suggestion of the Society of Sponsors off the I'nited States Navy, composed of ladies who have acted as sponsors of vessels of the United States Navy, prayer was offered at the launch ing of the U. S. S. Pennsylvania at Norfolk to-day. Between the years' 1843 and 1914. there were no religious ceremonies incident to the launching of vessels of Navy. The custom was revived when the Oklahoma was launch ed on March 21, last. Jnst a short while before the launching was to occur it was suggested that prayer be in cluded in the exercises. The Governor of Oklahoma and his party desired that prayer should be offered by an Okla homa clergyman, preferably Bishop Hoss, and it was supposed that he was ! then in Oklahoma. At the suggestion , of some friends, a relative of his iu I Baltimore was telephoned and it was ascertained that through strange coinei-1 deuce he was then in Philadelphia. As I the vessel was to be launched only' across the river at Camden, it was a j small matter to complete the arrange-1 ments ind Bishop Hoss offered the pray er. This plan was continued to-day i when the Pennsylvania was launched. • . * Text of the Prayer To-day Governor Brumbaugh nominated Bishop Joseph F. Berry to deliver the I prayer to-day. It was as follows: i- 0 Eternal God. Creator of the Uni verse and Governor of Nations: Most j heartily we beseech Thee with Thy Fa- j vor to behold and bless Thy servant, the President oi the United States, all the officers of our Government, and j so replenish them with the grace of Thy Holy Spirit that they may always I incline to Thy will and walk iu Thy : way. Bless the Governors of the sev- i eral States, an t all who are in authority | over us: give them grace to execute | justice and maintain truth that peace] and happiness, religion and piety, may ] be established among us for all geu -1 erations. '"May the vessels of our Xavy be guarded by Thy gracious Pravidenee huJ care. May they not bear the sword in vain, but as the minister of God, be a terror to those v.ho do evil aud a de fense to those who do well. "Graciously bless the officers ani men of our Navy. May love ot' country be engraven on their hearts and may their adventurous spirits and severe toils be duly appreciated by a grateful nation: may their lives be precious in Thy sight, aiut if ever our ships of war j should be engaged in battle, grant that j their struggles may be only under an enforced necessity tor the defense of what is right. "Bless all nations and kindreds on the face of the earth and hasten the time when the principles of holy religion shall so prevail that none shall wage war any more for the purpose off ag gression. and none shall need it as a means of defense. "All of which blessings we ask through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.'' • * * New York Editor Visits Old Home Bobert E. MaeAlarney, city editor of the New York "Tribune" and head of the school for rejwrters in the Colum bia University, was in Harrisburg yes terday looking over the scenes of his boyhood days.

Mr. MaeAlarney was here to accompany MEAT CAUSE Of KIDNEY IROUBIi Take a Glass of Salts If Tour Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers—Meat Forma Uric Add If you must have vonr meat every day, eat it. but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted author ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid neys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue ia coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gats cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glaas of water before 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, combined with lithia, and has been used for gen erations to flash and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also w neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure, and makes a delightful efferves cent lithia-water drink.—Adv.
