Want of courage and not lack of

This Is one of many instances that
might be cited to show how essential
courage is to health. 1t is want of

dangers to health which WE must meet

Grand Canyon gave the famous trav-
eloguer an unusual opportunity for ar
tisuc photography. II can truthfully
say, Mr.. Robertson declares, that my
pictures of tonight rank among the
best that l have ever taken"
One more week following this, re-
mains of Mr.. Roberson's engagement
and those who have not taken advan-
tage of the opportunity to see the won
der places of the world at minimum
of cost and effort, are missing one of
the best entertainments of the sort
ever brought to Harrisburg. Proof of
the travelogues' merit is their adop-
ton by the school board for a special
series for benefit of school children.
"The Dardanelles'
Saturday evening Around the Medi-
terranean and Through the Dardan-
elles" is to be presented, a traveIoEue
combining the pertinent and pictur-
esque. Old Spain, Southern France,
coast lines of Italy, Greece, Palestine.
Egypt and Turkey are to be visited,
the interest of the whole journey CEN
tertng about the narrow strip of wa
ter-the Dardanelles-which allied
troops and nav1es for the past several
months have been trying vainly to
force. Constantinople, the goal toward
which they were striving, Is to be
visited.
An added feature of each travelogue
is a musical program by Miss Sara
Lemer and Charles Mackey, both we'll
known musicians of Harrisburg, for
the three-quarters hour preceding the
travelogue. To-night's program, cor
responding with the subject of the
evening, will be made up entirely of
American music.
Admission prices for all travelogues
are 10 cents with the coupon on the
first page of the Telegraph. or 25 cents
for seat in the reserved section, ad-
mission included.

how far and in what way they are
interested in making the permanent
interests of the country safe against
disturbance"
Ready to Defend Rights
There is no need for the country TO
feel panic-stricken, the President
said, because it stands in friendly re-
lations with the world. He spoke of
the United States as "a nation too
big and generous to be exacting, but
yet courageous enough to defend its
rights and the liberties of its people
wherever assailed or involved"
Outlining the defense program, the
President said it included an increase
in the standing army, the training
within the next three years of 4OO, 900
citizen soldiers to be raised in annual
forces of $4,000, and the strengthen
ing of the national guard. He laid
particular emphasis on need of ample
equipment.
The President said the navy al
ready is a very great and efficient
force" but that in order to bring it
TO a point of extraordinary force and
efficiency" definite policy must be
adopted and fastened, and an ade-
quate supply of men and equipment
provided.
Scores Sectarianism
In addition to speaking on national
defense, the President attacked "men
VINO love other countries better than
America, and men who stir I'D re-
hglous and sectarian antagonism. He
said such men should be called to a
reckoning"
We feel justified in preparing our
selves to vindicate our right to inde-
pendent and unmolested action by
making the force that is in us ready
for assertion.
And we know that we can do this
in a way that will be in itself an
illustration of the American spirit. In
accordance with our American tradi-
tons we want and shall work for only
an army adequate to the constant and
legitimate uses of times of interna-
tlonal peace. But we do want to feel
that there is a great body of citizens
who have received at least the most
rudlmentary and necessary forms of
military training; that they will be
ready to form themselves into n
hghting force at the call of the ma
tion; and that the nation has the
munitions and supplies with which to
equip them without delay should it
be necessary to call them into action.
We wish to supply them with the
training they need, and we think we
can do so without calling them at any
time too long away from their civilian
pursuits.
ut is with this idea, with this con-
ception. in mind that the plans have
been made which it will be my privi-
lege to lay before the Congress at its
next session. That plan calls for only
such an increase in the regular army

outlining improvements to be made.
To Give Publicity.-The officials in
charge of the State Workmen's Com
pensation and Insurance fund are pre-
pairing to launch comprehensive
publicity campaign to interest employ
ers in what the Boards intend to do.
The organization of the office work
here has been completed.
After Law Violators. - State Dairy
and Food Commission agents are MAX
ing careful inspection of the manner
in which the cold storage law is being
observed by merchants. In many
cases it has been found that cold stor-
age products are being sold without
the required placard.

THE GLOBE

OF the United States as experience has
proved to be required for the per-
Iormance of the necessary duties of
tne army In the Philippines, In Hawaii
ana IN Porto Rico, upon the borders of
the united States. at the coast fortifi-
catlons and at the military posts of
the interior
For the rest, it calls for the train
ing within the next three years or a
Iofce or 100000 citizen soldiers to be
raised in annual contingents of 1S3,-
600, who would he asked to enlist for
three years with the colors and three
years on furlough but who, during
theH three years of enlistment with
the colors, would not be organized as
standing force, but would be ex-
pected merely to undergo intensive
training for a very brief period Of
each year. Their training would take
place IN immediate association with
the organized units of the regular
army. 1t would have no toncb of tbe
amateur about 1t, neither would it
exact of the volunteers more than
they could give in any one year from
their civilian pursuits.
And none of this would be done
IN such way as in the slightest de-
gree to supersede or subordinate our
present serviceable and efficient Ma
tlonal Guard. On the contrary the
National Guard itself would be used
as part of the instrumentality by
which training would be given the
citizens who enlisted under the new
citizens who enlist under the new con-
that the legislation by which all this
would be accomplished would put the
National Guard itself upon a better
and more permanent footing than has
ever been before, giving it not only
the recognition which it deserves. bur
more definite support from the ma
tonal Government and a more definite
connection with the military organiza-
ton of the nation.
What we all wish to accomplish 8
that the forces of the nation should
indeed be part of the nation and not
a separate professional force, and the
chief cost of the system would NOT he
in the enlistment or in the training of
the men, but in the providing of
ample equipment in case it should be
necessary to call all forces into the
field.

And You Wake Up With
Beautifully Curly Hair

(Town Tattler)
This is a secret that will, know, be
appreciated by my lady who disifkes
the tedious and nervous" task of
twisting her locks around a heated
iron, perhaps singeing the hair. burn
or scalp in the operation. From any
druggist procure a few ounces of pure
liquid silmerine and at night pour a
draw this down the full length of the
hair. A simple thing to do, but re :
markably effectual as will be apparent
in the morning.
The hair will have wonderfully
soft, fluffy curliness. much more ma
tural looking, glossier and nvelier in
appearance than where a waving iron
has been used. Silmerine doesn't make
the hair sticky or greasy, and there
will be no trouble doing Il up in any
tisement.

An exchange speaks volumes IN.
the following
In every community there is q
waller; the man who enyies his
neighbor s good fortune and COM
plains eternally at his own hard
luck. He growls because his
neighbor is plentifully supplied
with this worlds goods, while his
own pantry is empty He is a
nuisance to his neighbors and an
incubus upon the community.
The reason for the waller is not.
far to look. He walls, not be-
cause Of his ill-luck, but because
of his laziness; his poverty is not
the result of misfortune, but mis-
application, while his neighbor
has profited by adversely, mend
ed his ways, and found the road
that leads to prosperity.
The waller walls while the
worker works, and the conse-
quence is that the waller is eter-
nally in need while the worker is
well supplied with the comforts
and luxuries of life.
At least this is the way the
world sizes up the two, and it is
not often that. the world makes
mistake.

1.86 INCHES OF RAIN
FALL YESTERDAY
Thursdays Daily.

Thursdays Daily.
At last, Corinth has had her
much desired rain, and it WASH t
a light shower either, but a full,
life-sized rain, the local weather
man, II. E. Meeks, reporting
nearly 2 inches III the past twenty
four hours.
This community was almost suf-
fering for a good, heavy rain.
The dust had gotten to be almost
unbearable, and the crops were
blistering, both corn and cotton
showing signs Of need of rain.
Yesterday was cloudy all day,
and occasionally there would be a
sound of thunder heard, and local
forecasters predicted rain, they
would not be discouraged and
continued in their forecast for
rain, saying it was sure to some
within the next few hours, and
sure enough it did-a chunk
floater. Sufficient was it that
the nearby streams were overflow
ing, and the bitches and gulleys
were filled with water.
The observer reports 1.S6 inches
rainfall, which came in good time,
and even tho it might have not
been as general as liked, it was
worth thousands Of dollars to the
farmers in the sections where it
fell.
