WILSON FAVORED BY DAVID LuBIN
 FOR PRESIDENCY
Especial to The Farmer.)

(SpeClali Il0 etIHleT.J
 New York, Sept, 19-David Lubin, founder of the International Institute of Agriculture and father of the rur- al credits movement in America, join ed today the list of prominent Repub- licans openly espousing the reelection of President Wilson.
 Within fortnight, Thomas A. Edi- son, Luther Burbank and Henry Ford, all Republicans. and men of international fame, have made sim liar declarations. None of them can see sufficient reason for rejecting Will son or for substituting Hughes Each one in substance advises his fellow Americans that in his opinion it is no time to swap horses crossing the world history.
 mia farmer His Interest in secur- dng a square deal for the farmer led him to make research abroad and out of his efforts grew the Interna- tional Institute of Agriculture at Rome. This unique institution does for the staples of agriculture of the world what the American Chamber of Commerce does for the products of the American manufacturer.
 Before sailing today for Rome, MT. Lubin said:
 ''In the application of business meth ods of distribution, America, until the present administration was about 15O years behind Germany and several decades behind the rest of Europe. And yet in thejvery thing in which America, is backward, she should lead the world. She does not, because a clique of special interests dictated public opinion andI controlled legisla- ton through the bosses of the Repub- lican party. 50 cleverly have they worked that the average man is hypnotized; his critical faculties are dulled.
 President Wilson is neither fooled nor led by this crowd. He is tire less. patient, far seeing. He has historic sense of th epast, a sym pathetic sense of the present and a prophetically spiritual of the future. While his head if above the clouds, his feet are always up on the earth. He is idealistic oh the one side, on the other practical. He is a good business man. It is pleasure and a satisfaction to do business with him.
 T found MT. Roosevelt a good fel- low. find MT. Wilson al good Presi- dent. I like. MT. Roosevelt, I ad- mire President Wilson. President Wilson brings scholarly mind to business. He knows that good pon- tics eand good economies are the same thing. He is fearless; in all my rela- tions with him. direct or indirect, T fail to find anything or anybody he is afraid of"

DIXON TALKS OF
SUMMER DANGER
Gives Some Ideas How to
Avoid Infection, Especially
of the Children

Or. Samuel G. Dixon. State Commits
sioner of Health, calls attention to the
dangers which attend the summer va
cation and especially urges that par
ents and others in charge of children
see that they are not subject to infec-
ton. DR.. Dixon points out many ways
in whic ha person may become sick.
In his talk the commissioner says:
The summer travel season has ar
dren will soon be on their way to the
country and the seashore.
Observation would seem to justify
the statement that the majority of
mothers travelling with small children
fortify themselves against possible
contingencies by providing cakes,
sweets, fruit or something edible to
pacify their youngsters.
Every traveller is familiar with the
sight of infants of various ages en-
gagged in feeding themselves. Despite
the efforts to keep the aisles and seats
of passenger coaches clean, thy be-
come soiled by contact with dirty
boots.
Children are quite commonly per-
mitted to play or creep over the car
floor and seats and then stick their
fingers and toys and any available food
into their mouths. II is obvious to the
most casual observer that this is an
exceedingly uncleanly habit. 1t is like
wise a dangerous one. Disease-breed-
ing bacteria are carried directly into
the mouths of these children in this
fashion. This makes it easily under
stood how babies and little children
often contract mption-tubercu-
losis.
mo one should eat without first
washing the hands. The possibility of
contaminating food by handling with
dirty fingers is great. When children
are too young to understand this their
mothers or nurses should be careful
not to permit them to eat until their
hands are washed"

more college, in his address to the
class, declared that Mr.. Widder.s
oration should be delivered at every
street corner in the city. He then
went on to emphasize the value of
education to the community and to
the State and nation. DR.. Swain spoke
OF the importance of thinking for the
other man, and said that he believed
national citizenship would eventually
develop into international feeling, and
that the European War would prob
ably end with the formation of the
United States of Europe similar to
this nation. He urged the students to
become citizens of the world in feeling
closing his address with an appeal to
them to take advantage of their edu-
cational opportunities.
A. Carson Stamm, president OF the
school board of the city, just before
he presented the 143 students with
their diplomas. said that the campaign
had already been started for a new
high school and commended the
valedictorian for his address in be-
half of better institution.
Miss Yoder in her essay stated that
abolition of co-education would be a
step backward educationally in the
city, and taking 1t for granted that
the city would have new High
School soon, she advanced numerous
arguments for the continuation of this
system. She declared that by separat-
ing the sexes, boys and girls have
false ideals of each other; lose self
control and lose a chance for i'm
provement in manners and morals.
Mr.. Widder in his grafton took as
the subject, "Devoutly to be wished. Z"
He said that preparedness educa-
tionauy was important for the welfare
of the city, State and nation, and that
voters of Harrisburg missed one op-
portunity to give High School students
this advantage. He told of the big ex-
penditures of the city for public i'm
provements to parks, the River Front,
streets and then stated that this
money was properly invested for the
good of the city, but that the people
failed to remember that an investment
of money for the advancement of edu-
cation was far better one for the
good of the community.
John Horace Nunemaker spoke on
Whats What" and gave an interest
ing comparison of the value of clas-
sical and technical school training.
Miss Marjorie Quay Hause, in her es-
say, appealed for the preservation of
wild flowers, and Miss Florence Hub
ley Rinkenbach spoke on mythological
subjects. Prayer at the opening of
the program was offered by the Rev.
DR.. George Edward Hawes, pastor of
Market Square Presbyterian Church.

sented the S25 prize of the class of
1915 to Mr.. Widder. and John c. Pas
tor, the SIS prize of the class of 1907
to Miss Yoder.
Despite the rain this morning the
students poured into the theater, ar
riving in automobiles decorated with
the class colors. After the commence
ment exercises, many of them rode
about the city and took short trips to
nearby places. Last evening the Sen
iors returned from two-day tour of
washington.

JENNINGS HEARS
3 ROUTE CLAIMS
Natural Outlet From Newport
to Amity Hall Declares
C.. H. Lehr

AS means toward preparedness, >
Newport folks last night told repre-
sentatives of the William Penn High
way, the selection of the Amity Hall
Newport route from Harrisburg to
Millerstown will make it possible for
the United States or Pennsylvania
governments to transport war equip
ment and bodies of troops east and
west in Pennsylvania in less time and
at less expense than over either of the
other two proposed William Penn
routes in Perry county.
Nearly two hundred prominent
citizens of Newport, Liverpool, New
Bloomfield and Duncannon attended
the Newport meeting last evening
Scheduled originally for the borough
building, the gathering became to
large for that building and was moved
to Centennial hall. Prior to the
meeting William Jennings, president
of the William Penn board of gov
ernor, with Secretary NJ. H. James
of Harrisburg and the Messrs. Dun
can and Wills of Duncannon, motored
over considerable Perry county mile
age. Despite the all-day rain they
found the highways in very good con-
dition.
Jennings Presides
Mr. Jennings presided at the meet
ing and told just what the William
Penn Highway Association is and
what it intends to do. Then C. H
Lehr of Newport told what
the Newport people want. He
spoke he said, for the natural out.
let" from the Juniata valley. There
were two other routes, he said-that
through Liverpool and the one
through New Bloomfield. Newport
people believed, he said, that the logical
route was from Newport to Amity
Hall, connecting at the latter place
with the Liverpool road. That route
he said, would make the William
Penn six miles shorter than the New
Bloomfield route and IL miles shorter
than the Liverpool way. The total
elevation on the New Bloomfield road
he said, is 7S0 feet; en- the Liverpool

level
Natural Outlet
II suggest this route be incorporat-
ed in the William Penn east-west road
way" said Mr.. Lehr. 1T is the nat
ural outlet. The Almighty selected il
Himself. 1t is the line of least re-
sistance."
Mr.. Lehr declared that figures
proved 100 autos daily would pass over
each five miles of the william Penn;
that the average upkeep of an auto
mobile is six cents a mile; that the
construction and use of the Newport
Amity Hall route would mean a saw
ing of $40 day over the New Bloom
field route and $50 a day over the
Liverpool way. He said that $4,000
will put this. roadway in very passable
condition; and that when permanent
ly improved it would last forever.
Liverpool and New Bloomfield, he
said, would not be isolated, because
each has fine road over which to
reach the shorter route.
]. Il. Alter cashier of the New
Bloomfield bank, said that Marysville,
New Bloomfield and Duncannon de-
serve consideration. He set forth that
it is reasonable and practical that the
William Penn serve the greatest pos
sible number of people; therefore he
urged the adoption of the road on the
Marysville side of the river, passing
through New Bloomfield to Newport.
Former Judge James w. Shull spoke
along the same line, objecting TO the
crossing of the river at Clark's Ferry.
Judge Shull said the New Bloomfield
route would most certainly serve
many more Perry county people than
the proposed new road advanced by
Newporters. George Boyer of Dun
cannon also urged the claims Of this
routing.
Others who spoke were DR.. S. H.
Whitman, John l.. Snyder. e. S. L.
Soule, DIR. w. H. Hoopes all of New
port; Mr.. Jennings and Secretary
James.
Mr.. Jennings and ]. G. H. Ripp-
man, representing the highway, will
lay before the board of governors the
claims of the rival Perry county road
boosters at the governors meeting in
Pittsburgh Wednesday next.
1t is currently reported that as re-
suit of the conference at Newport last
night the permanent William Penn
Highway will extend from Clark's s
Ferry along the west short of the
Juniata to Newport and thence to
Millerstown Temporarily, of course,
the Liverpool route will be used.

TO TAKE OFF FLESH
AND REDUCE WEIGHT
Eat Plenty of Wholesome Food But Breathe Deeply and
Try Little Oil of Koren With Meals

Some people seem to be able to eat
whatever they please without its in
creasing their weight to any degree,
while on the other hand other folks, in
clined to stoutness, try to eat lightly
of the so-called feshmaking foods but
keep gaining weight all the time. Such
condition is both unnatural and dan
gerous but can often be quickly. over
come by practicng deep breathing in
the open air The blood of the average
overstout person seemingly fails to ac-
cept enough oxygen to consume the ex-
cessive fatty material in the food. But
frequent open air deep breathing forces
additional oxygen into the system,
largely overcoming this defect and pre-
venting further increase in weight.
Then If this deep breathing plan is ac-
companied by the use of little oil of
korein. taking few drops in a capsule
with each meal and again before going
to bed, 1T becomes possible to greatly
reduce the weight even in a very few
days.
The best feature of this reducing
method is that ii is absolutely safe and
unlike so many flesh reducing systems

produces no weakening effects. In fact
there are those who have tried it who
say 1t almost seemed that they gained
In strength with every pound of excess
fat they lost
The use of oil of korein is intended
to eliminate the need of weakening pur-
gatives, sweating processes, dangerous
drugs, starvation diets or the various
forms of violent exercises which so
many use in a vain effort to reduce
flesh. Instead, oil OF .torein operates
in a natural and wholly harmless way
to gently reduce the excessive accumu-
lations of fat wherever thev exist on
your body while the oxygen you are
breathing into your system from the
pure out door air not only helps the
action of the korein but is helpful in
preventing a return of the unnatural
fat.
1t is a good plan to weigh yourself
once a week so as to keep close check
on what weight you are losing and do
not skip a single dose until your weight
is down to normal Any DIR gist can
supply you with these capsules.-Ad-
vertisement.
