A FISH DIET

IN the event that quarantine of beef,
4 sheep and hogs shall send meat
prices soaring, Harrisburg might
well turn its attention to fish. New
York is doing it. Already a circular
has been issued to the purchasing pub
lie by the Mayors food supply COM
mittee on the subject of fish.
This circular will be distributed
throughout the public schools in the
city and is one of a series in a cam
paign of education to teach children,
and through theme their mothers, the
value of various foodstuis and how
to buy them. The habit of eating fish
on one fixed day week is, according
TO the circular, foolish and deserves
TO be stopped. 1t points out that fish
is just as appetizing on Tuesdays or
Thursdays as on Friday, and that this
food is just as nourishi1g as lean meat
and, if eaten with bread, potatoes and
other vegetables, will supply all the
needs of the body.
In spite of the fact that New York
has at its door practically inexhausti-
BILE fishing ground, hundreds of car
loads of fish are constantly being sent
from that city to other sections be-
cause of the fact that people living
there do not appreciate the value OF
fish as food and do not buy it as
often as they should. With the cost
OF living going up, however, and the
necessity of economy and scientific
purchasing making itself more strong
ly felt, 1t is believed that New York
may yet come to consume the food
which is only waiting 20 be caught
and to become the largest nsh-eating
city in the world.
What applies to New York applies
with almost equal force to Harrisburg
We have the lakes to the North, the
Atlantic ocean to the East and the bay
20 the South, not to mention our own
neighborhood streams that are just
now yielding great quantities of eels
and other fish. Fish are cheap here
and good. Let's take q lesson from
New York.

Book That Reveals the Causes of
the War
The dogs of war are loosened in all
Europe! A new map of a continent
is in the making. Nations will be
obliterated and new nations will be
established. Europe is running red
with blood, while field-gun and cannon
belch forth fire and death, and men
are shot down like rows of clay
pigeons.
Before the newspaper bulletin
boads in European cities thousands of
frenzied men and women are shouting
their national anthems and urging
fresh troops and regiments into the
cataclysmic fray.
The inevitable has come The bur-
den of preparation has staggered Eu-
rope There will arise from the whirl-
pool new dynasties-new methods
new purposes.
DO you know the long string of
events - like a cancerous growth -
that have brought this about? Do
you know the causes of this greatest
war of history? Do you understand it ?
The great book, "The Story of Eu-
rope and the Nations at War" which
tells the whole story, is now ready for
distribution. Clip the coupon on an

DO YOU KNOW
That Harrisburg is one of the
big -four manufacturing centers
of the State?
THANKS, OvERPECIk
by Wing Dinger

In answer to my pleas for thoughts
On which to write some verse, by
heck,
I got a good one in to-day
From some friend who signs "Over-
peck"
And Notwithstanding that his verse,
Or hers, surpasses much of mine.
I'm going to print it. just the same.
And here you have it line for line:
well, Wing, to help fill your request
And give you subjects, I'll be blest
If I'd know what to do or say
That would surpass them in one way
The editor must be a crank
To think your compositions rank;
Don't let him pull you with the bluff
That people do not want such stuff
We've been excited through 1t all
Election, war, foot and baseball,
But now that they are about past
More subjects you must have-alas!
Gaze at the turkeys, fat and fine,
Big yellow pumpkins on the vine,
Then think of the high cost of living
And write us something on Thanks
giving"
Dear Overpeck, I've thought lot
OF turkeys fine and fat,
OF pumpkin pie, and plum pudding,
And as I've thought of that
I've also thought of living costs
So very high, but gee.
If one can't have these toothsome
things
How can one thankful be?

FRIDAY EVENING,

population has reached a point where
employers all over the State are show
ing a commendable interest in the
subjects that will be discussed at the
approaching conference.
Incidental to the program will be
an industrial exhibit of safety appli-
ances and devices in which employers
and employees are equally interested.
The prime purpose of this confer
ence and of all such conferences is an
increase of efficiency with safety; the
development of better relation be-
tween the employer and employe.
John Price Jackson. the head of this
important department of the State, is
thoroughly devoted to his work, and
associated with him are a number of
men equally concerned for the well
fare of the industrial army of Penn
sylvania. The public interest in the
conference is so great that it is prob
able the House of Representatives will
be taxed to accommodate all who de-
sire to attend. Many of the promi-
nent employers and manufacturers of
the State will be here and technical
questions will be considered by those
competent to handle them In a popu-
lar way.
Another thing which the Depart
ment of Labor and Industry is achiev-
ing is uniformity in reports on acci-
dents. Cooperating with this depart
ment are co-relative bureaus of the
State, such as the Department of
Mines and Mining and the Public Ser
vice Commission.
There has been n great loss of life
through lack of proper precaution
and it is the effort of Dean Jack
sons corps to reduce this waste to
the minimum. 1t is his hope that the
people of the State will in every way
cooperate so that the department
may reach the maximum of usefulness
in bringing about a happier day, not
only among the workers, but for the
manufacturers and employers as well.

1t is remarkable what widespread
confidence has developed throughout
the country since the election of last
week Republican success seems to
have inspired renewed activity every
where and in the Industrial plants and
manufacturing concerns all over Penn
sylvania there is evidence of a more
hopeful feeling that is displayed in
preparation for better business. I'm
portant changes and improvements are
rapidly going forward at the big plant
of the Pennsylvania Steel Company,
and this activity is believed to be pre-
Ilminary to better working conditions
in the near future.

wv HILE the arbitrary and un-
AI reasonable course of the men
Wv in control of the Anti-Saloon
League organization of Penn
Bylvania alienated many persons who
were naturally in favor of the local
option proposition, there is one per-
son, and that person of all men the
one who would be justified, perhaps, in
showing resentment. who has stated
to friends since the election that no
cause that is right should suffer by
reason of the foolishness of few of
It's supporters.
That is the attitude OF DR.. Martin
G. Brumbaugh, and he has made it
clear that whatever may have been
the unfair attitude of the little men
who assumed to speak for the cause of
local option in Pennsylvania, the
measure should be passed and sub
mitted to the people by the Lestsla-
ture. He will do everything in his
power to that end and while serious
damage has been done through the
failure of those charged with the con-
duct of the campaign for local option
to elect members of the Legislature
favorable to the proposition, it is still
the hope of those who have honestly
urged the adoption of the local option
measure that the Republican majority
will determine that it is the proper
thing and the right thing to enact the
law, and allow the communities them
selves to determine whether liquor
shall be sold or not.
Whatever happens, however, the
friends of local option need have no
fear that the Governor-elect will fail
in any way to do his part in full
measure toward the enactment of a
local option law.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Pub
Tic Health Conditions

An examining physician for one OF
the prominent life insurance cOmpa-
MES. in an interview Oh the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble Is so common TO the
American people, and the large ma
jority OF those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
According TO this il would seem that
a medicine for the kidneys, possessing
real healing and curative properties.
would be a blessing to thousands.
DR. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, n.
Y, who prepare DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. the well known kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, claim that judging
from evidence received from drug
gists everywhere, who are constantly
IN touch with their customers. and
also indisputable proof IN the form Of
grateful testimonial letters from
thousands OF reliable citizens, this
preparation IS remarkably successful
IN sickness caused by kidney and
bladder troubles. Every interesting
statement they receive regarding
Swamp-Root is investigated and no
testimonial is published unless the
party who sends IL is reported OF good
character They have on file many
sworn statements OF recoveries in the
most distressing cases. They state
that DR.. Kilmers Swamp-ROot is mild
and gentle in fits action and its heal
ing influence is soon noticed In most
cases.
Swamp-Root is purely an herbal
compound and DR.. Kflmer d Co. ad-
