On the morning of his execution
Condoyannis was awakened in his cell

Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-04-12

Diseases of the skin are
entirely caused by poisons
in the blood. You cannot
cure a skin disease until the
poisons and impurities in the
blood are removed.
The use of salves, oint-
ments and other local ap-
p1ications on pimples, ulcers,
boils, assesses and other
skin eruptions, may give a
little temporary relief, but
the poison that causes them
is still in your system and
will break out on the surface
again.
You must go to the root of
the trouble and remove the
cause-impurities and pois-
ons in the blood.
The artificial lives we lead
are conducive to bad blood.
The system is unable to
throw off the impurities and
poisons that accumulate. The
presence of this underlying
trouble is proved by the
sores that break out in the
skin and which cannot be

the measure. Among other things he
said:
"The borough code means to the
boroughs of Pennsylvania, that they
now have in one book, a clear, full,
complete, logical and systematic gen.
eral statute law relating to boroughs,
easy of reference, so that the citizen,
borough officer solicitor or judge may
find the law with comparative ease.
1.-The future policy of the State in
relation to borough laws, should be
to make all accessions to the present
law, or changes thereof, a part of
the code, until the conditions require
the enactment of new code. This is
necessary in order to prevent repe-
tition of the uncertain and confused
condition of the law which existed
prior to the enactment of the act of
1915. Also, it may be wise, to bring
the boroughs operating by virtue of
local charters, under the code, so that
we may have all boroughs governed
by the same general system of law"

State was another speaker who urged
and system in the boroughs
of Pennsylvania.
Charles Walter, Borough Solicitor
of Chambersburg, was chairman of
the meeting this morning.
Afternoon Session
At the session this afternoon the
first speaker was w. d. B. Ainey,
chairman of the Public Service Com
mission who talked on the Relation
of the Public Service Commission to
the Boroughs and Their Duties" Mr..
Ainey was followed by w. w. Hall,
Borough Solicitor, of West Pittston,
who talked on What is the Most Diff
cult Question Confronting Your
Borough ?" Following the addresses
there was a round table discussion
and then the bylaws and constitu-
tion of the organization were brought
up for ratification. The election of
officers was the last thing on the pro-
gram for the afternoon session. This
evening the delegates will be received
in the Governors Room at the Capitol
by Governor Brumbaugh.
Tells of Building Code
E. A. Weimer, of Lebanon, president
of the building code commission of
Pennsylvania, was the last speaker at
tilc StSSlOH gtSleIudN AFTERNOON ana
he talked of the code which will be
presented at the next session of the
Legislature for passage. Mr.. Wei
mer pointed out some of its advan-
tages, saying that by State law no
porches or bay windows would be
permitted to be constructed over the
building line. Fire plugs, too, would
have a uniform sized outlet, accord
in to the code, so that when flames
necessitated the calling out of fire
companies from other towns, no diff
Guilty will be experienced in making
proper hose connections. Fireproof
walls between every two houses in
a row will be another feature of the
code and the measure will also provide
for safety partitions in homes.
Proposed Borough Code

ternoon was Nelson McVicker, of Allie
gheny county, who helped frame the
borough code. He talked of the his
tory of that measure and gave a num-
her of interesting facts pertaining to

the boroughs of the State. BY the
use of figures, Mr.. Webbert showed
how, within the past few years, the
death rate due to typhoid fever, has
been greatly reduced. He recon-
mended the naming of efficient men
on the boards of health of the various
towns and said that he already under
stood that municipalities, as a rule,
have q hard time getting good men to
serve. This should not be so, he said,
for the health board is one of the most
important in any town and men in all
walks of life should be glad to take
an active part in securing good health
regulations and enforcing them in a
community. Mr.. Webbert stated, too,
that local boards should pay more at
tention to the so-called diseases of
childhood and enforce the quarantine
laws on all contagious and infectious
diseases. He also urged the boroughS
to work in harmony with the State
Department and cited one instance
where a school board refused to test
the authority of the Commissioner of
Health while an epidemic was given
an opportunity to spread. He said
the board of health in the town re-
quested the school board to close the
schools for a few days. The school
directors refused and then the State
Department of Health issued the
OrueT. AGAIN lne directors refused
and when questioned they said they
only wanted to test the commissioners
authority. In the meantime the cpl
demic was spreading.
Uniform Regulations
Uniform regulations for boroughs
was discussed by Horace w. Davis, a
deputy attorney general and borough
solicitor of Sharon. Mr. Davis favors
the immediate burning of all the ordi-
nance books in Pennsylvania and in
their place the substitution of five or
six major ordinances which would ap-
ply to every borough in the State and
the passage of several others which
would apply locally.
Hugh Reber. of New York City. was
another speaker at the morning ses-
sion and he told of the system of ac-
counting in New York City, which
could, to a certain extent be applied
TO the boroughs of Pennsylvania.

nicipal supervisor of Inspection and
Supervision of Public officers, in that

In the interim the Federal League alb
dicated to organized baseball and
there followed a general distribution
of the independent league players
among major and minor circuits of or
ganiZed baseball.
Following this reconstruction period
new interests bought into the big
leagues in Chicago, Cleveland, st.
Louis, Boston and other points and
strenuous efforts were made to
strengthen q majority OF the sixteen
major circuit clubs. In some cases the
teams were virtually made over with
the result that on paper at least, they
appear far stronger than q year ago
and all indications point to well-bal-
anced and hard-fought pennant strug-
giles in both the American and the
National League.
A number of former big league stars
who had cast their lot with the Fed
erals will again be seen on major
league diamonds, in addition to sew
eral players who will be recognized
among the numerous recruits tried
out by the Independent organization.

ager, Mr.. Fuller said the council
could be made an administrative
body purely and that all details could
be handled by the business manager.
BorouShs over 10000, Mr.. Fuller said,
should become cities of the Third
class. The speaker believes that a
change in the present form of borough
government can be brought about by
an amendment to the present Borough
Code He declared he understands
that it will require much preliminary
work in educating the people to the
advantages of this plan, but said that
it will be fought only by the politi-
clans who thrive on ward government
and partisan politics. Mr.. Fuller is
anxious to have the matter thorough
ly discussed by the convention and
then carried before the Legislature in
