HOW ABOUT THAT JUBILEE?

w THAT has become of the plan to
N/ hold a big municipal Jubilee
" celebration the coming sum-
mer in observance OF the
completion of the city's long and ex-
tensive campaign of public improve
ments?
The project was taken up enthusiast
tically by the Chamber of Commerce
and then laid over until there could
be some assurance that the work
would be finished on schedule time.
That question has been decided long
since. We know that midsummer, at
the very latest, will see the last work
done. Yet not one thing has been at
tempted, so far as the public knows,
to complete the plans so auspiciously
begun.
If Harrisburg is to have a celebra-
ton this year now is the time to start.
The jubilee should be we'll worth
while or not at all. We cannot afford
to have a second-rate affair. 1t must
be imposing or nothing. There is a
vast amount of preliminary work to be
done and there is none too much time
left now in which to do 1t. We must
get busy soon or not at all.

A COMPOUND FRACTURE

In the case of a compound fracture
that is. when the bone breaks
through the flesh-the immediate dan
ger is blood poisoning. The first thing
to do, and it must be done at once,
is to cleanse the wound thoroughly
and apply the antiseptic, either iodine
or bichloride; also make sure that your
hands are clean. Do not try to set
the bone: the best you can do is to
fix it so that the ends do not project
beyond the flesh, and an antiseptic
filter" must be placed over the wound.
This is made by soaking a piece of
clean gauze in the antiseptic solution
and bandaging it over the wound;
then pad and splint.-May Outing.

A HINT TO GOLFERS

If here is one part of the game more
than another that is likely. to try the
golfers patience to the utmost it is
quitting. When we consider that half
of the game of golf is on the putting
green. is not this good reason why
we should be proficient at 1t? But
on the green's?
The only real sound theory that is
known for putting is TO swing your
the ball toward the hole. You can prac-
tice this method by. putting the end
of the putter head close up to wall
and practice swinging your putter back
and forth: a pendulum movement is
best, keeping the end of the putter
close to the wall. Try 1T and see II it
does not help your holing out. - May

WHEN TROUBLES COME
by Wing DInger

When trouble comes to some folks
1t almost breaks them down;
They moan and sigh and worry
And wear a constant frown.
No matter when you see them.
You'll find them sad and blue.
And life TO them possesses
None Of the rosy hue.
With others it's quite different
When many troubles come
Their nasty dose they swallow
And bout it keep quite mum.
No matter when you see them
You'll find them bright and gay,
They're blind to rain and worry
Each days a sunny day.
And so I've tried to figure
Why some are always sad
When troubles come, while others
1t seems are always glad.
L think I've found the answer
Which now to you I'll give
'Twould seem to me. the viewpoint
Depends on how we live.

~ RESIDENT WILSON spoke the
sentiments that all true Ameri-
= cans must entertain when before
members of the Associated Press
in New York on Tuesday ne said that
ours must be the part of perfect nsu-
trality during the war and peacemaker
at its end.
Never has the United States gone to
war WITHOUT Just cause. For the most
part we have obeyed the biblical in
junction of turning the other cheek
after having been once smitten. Al
ways our dealings with foreign nations
have been open and above board.
Never have we sought anything that
did not rightfully belong to us. In no
instance has this nation taken sides
with any other to the injury of. third.
Our "open door" policy in China is a
fair sample of our policy of disin-
terested honesty and fair play.
Now of all times we must keep our
heads and our tempers. The impas-
stoned utterances- of war-maddened
rulers abroad or the urgings of jingoes
at home must not be permitted to
push us into the European butcher
shop.
President Wilson made his definition
of neutrality a dominant part of his
address, summing it up in these words,
sympathy for mankind, fairness, good
will at bottom, impartiality of spirit
and of Judgment"
1t is impossible not to entertain SYM
pathies, particularly in a country as
cosmopolitan as the United States. but
very many Americans are in Hearty
accord with the President in his desire
to keep this country's skirts clear of
entanglements and ourselves ready to
act as arbitrators when the time shall
come. The prevalent desire in America
is not to prolong the war by getting
into It, but to see it ended as soon as
possible-with fair play to everybody
when it Is over.

DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brit
tie.
The best thing to use is Just
common mulsified cocoanut oil, for
1t is pure and entirely greaseless.
It's very cheap, and beats soaps or
anything else all to pieces.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub 1t in, about tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, lustrous,
fluffy, wavy and easy to handle.
Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
Git must be mulsified, plain cocoa
nut oil will not do) at any phar-
macy, and few ounces will sup

FRIED MUsH AND STARVATION

OOME of the relief committees of
the European war zone cannot
~ find enough wheat and flour to
meet their needs, and they are
desperate. The people are hungry
and the committees are crying for sup
plies. One account is responsible for
the announcement that there is plenty
of Indian corn to be had, but "it is
doubtful II the people can learn to
eat it."
The committees should worry no
more. Let them turn their corn into
meal and their meal into cornpone,
cornmuffins, corncakes, mush and
milk or sliced mush fried to a golden
brown; let them bring on the hungry
hordes and if they refuse to eat after
getting one Whit of that combination
well, then, they ought to starve to
death.
We have our opinion of the person
who won't eat with a pan of fried
mush before him.
