PARIS, Jan. 6.-Torrential rains are
preventing the Germans from resum-
ing the offensive in the extreme north
of the fighting line in the western war
zone. The troops dispositions left nc
doubt in the minds of military experts
that the Germans had planned strong

KEEP TOOTH BRUSH
IN CLEAN[Y SHAPE
Commissioner Dixon Issues Warn
ing Regarding Useful and
Essential Utensil

DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, the State Com
missioner of Health, in one of his
weekly hygiene talks says that people
use toothbrushes religiously and yet
do not take the trouble to keep the
brushes as clean as they should. He
says that the toothbrush is an essen
tial part of our daily life and that it
should be given attention.
The commissioner says:
We have been taught that the
tooth brush should he as indispensa-
BILE from youth to old age as mans
shadow. Indeed the latter might be
dispensed with without ieopardizing
ones position in polite society.
The primary purpose of the tooth
brush is excellent. but it is well re-
IN embered that as II is intended to
clean, the instrument itself should be
beyond suspicion in this regard. The
majority of disease germs find their
way into the human system through
the mucous membrane of the nose and
mouth.
"If the teeth are not frequently and
properly cleansed these germs or bac-
terra will multiply in cavities or where
particles of food have become lodged
between the teeth. These minute
germ breeding centers should be re-
moved by vigorous brushing but when
the desired result is accomplished care
turn lodge in the intricaries of the
tooth brush. If they remain there
they are later retransferred TO the
mouth.
ITO guard against this the brush
should be thoroughly cleansed be
fore and after using in scalding water
if this IS obtainable. If not. in some
nonpcisonous antiseptic wash. At least
wash the brush with soap and water
and rinse thoroughly.
Care should he taken not to keep
a tooth brush where it is exposed TO
dust and dirt. If there are several
members of the family the same re-
ceptable should not be used for the
brushes as the germs of disease may
readily he transmitted from one brush
TO another in this manner.
ut is well to make use of white
thread or dental floss to remove par
ticles from between the teeth which
are difficult to remove with the brush.
1t is from fragments of food that
lodge between the teeth that decay
often starts.
When you visit the dentist you de-
mand exceptional cleanliness in the
care of his instruments. See that your

8 JAY LINES" LATEST
TRAFFIC REGULATION
White Streaks Across Streets at
intersections Will Mark
Safety Zones

Jay lines" for pedestrians will be
placed at busy street intersections in
Harrisburg. These lines will be
painted in white and will mark the
space to be used by pedestrians when
crossing streets.
Colonel Joseph b. Hutchison arrang-
ed with Superintendent of Streets Will
liam II. Lynch to have jay lines at
the busy corners, and to keep them in
good condition. In explaining the new
safety first project to-day Colonel
Hutchison said:
Two lines will be painted at each
crossing. The lines will be separated,
allowing a space equal to the width of
the sidewalk. When a traffic officer
orders an automobile, street car or any
other vehicle to stop. it will not mean
that the vehicle can run halfway over
the crossing, but must stay beyond the
Jay lines 1t will also mean greater
safety to pedestrians, as they will be
able to cross a street without the nee
essity of running around vehicle
that has stopped halfway on a crossing
or taking chances of being hit by an
automobile or wagon coming from an
other direction.

JAPAN INCREASES
STANDING ARMY
Governments Policy of Military
Development Approved by
House 232 to 13l
By Associated Press

Toxic, Japan, June 1.-The govern
ment's policy of military development
was approved by the House to-day, in
an exciting seSs on BY vote of 232
to 131 the House adopted the provis-
ion for an increase in the standing
army of two divisions, or about $4,000
men. 1t then approved the entire bud
get, including the naval program,
which provides for construction of
three submarines and eight torpedo
boat destroyers.
The victory of the government was
emphatic. There was no such strong
opposition as appeared in the pre-
vious Diet, which was dissolved by
the emperor for rejecting the cabinet $
military program. The members of
government and opposition leaders
showed that all parties favored some
form of military and naval develop
ment. M. Inuki, leader of the KolSu-
mintoparty, or the nationalists, op-
posed the budget on the ground that
the increase to the army and navy and
which it contemplated were INSULT
cient. He declared the means of ma
tional defense should be made strong

TREES PREFERABLE,
GOVERNORS VIEW
Declines to Approve Sidewalk
Bill That Would Have
Killed Trees

The Senate bill fixing the width of
vetoed by Governor Brumbaugh to-day
with Ave others. On the sidewalk bill
the Governor says: Its provisions are
arbitrary and rigid. 1t would mean a
death blow to local initiative and a
sore structure upon shade trees. The
very ample provision for a twenty-foot
sidewalk might be of more interest to
contractors than to the people. In a
case like this 1t is we'll to appeal to
local pride and to the example of we'll
regulated communities. The value of
local initiative is great. 1t must be
conserved"
The Senate bill giving the right to
appoint managers for the house of
detention in Philadelphia to the presi-
dent judge of the municipal court of
Philadelphia was vetoed for the rea-
son that the power should he given to
the court and not to one member.
The Senate bill providing that COM
pensation for changing streets in bor-
oughs shall be paid by the borough
and not by the county was vetoed for
the reason that it would make tax
payers liable for improvements they
did not authorize. In addition to con-
sidering it unconstitutional the Gov
ernor holds that it is not necessary,
while in his opinion the new borough
code will take care of conditions.
Another Senate bill vetoed would have
authorized the Commissioner of Health
to lease right of way through State
lands in Cresson township, Cambria
county. The Governor says the pro-
visions are vague and indefinite and
that the procedure is doubtful He
also staes that the property of the
State should have easements upon 1t.
The fifth Senate bill announced as
vetoed would have given authority to
township school boards to acquire land
in a contiguous borough or city on
which to build township high school
The Governor says that the school
code affords better way and that the
procedure under the bill would be ex-
pensive and indefinite.
The Governor also smote the bill to
designate one newspaper in each
county to be the official advertising
medium. He holds that it would not
be fair.
