Friends of Senator f. f. Beidleman

denomination which are now in cir
culation over the county are all re-
turned they will show a majority of all
the voters of Dauphin county as sign

names approaches the $4,000 mark
and there are still something like 400
petitions still to be received This is
unprecedented in the history of the
State senatorship in this county and,
IT is said, will assure Senator Beidle-
mans denomination without oppo-
sition. 1T is understood that in a few
days definite announcement of support
for Senator Beidleman will be made
from sources that hitherto have been
regarded as opposed to his candidacy.

formal announcement as a candidate
for reelection to the Assembly from
the city district through the news

THE STATE FROM DAY TO DAY

1t is not necessary to travel to
Spain or Mexico or any other coun-
try where toreadors hold sway when
we have bull-throwers and fighters
right here in our own State. John
Boyer, a farmer Of Lower Augusta
township, near Sunbury had a battle
royal with a mad bull on Saturday
that for excitement and danger was
the real thing. The tines of a pitch
fork were the modern matador's only
weapon, and to save his life and to
restore the goat which one news
paper said the bull had obtained from
the farmer (iguratively speaking) his
son shot the bull.

THE MINISTER'S PLACE

DRESIDING ELDER HE'LL told
the United Evangelical Confer
ence in session here, during the
course of his annual report on con-
ditions in the district, that while the
professional evangelist may be a help
full influence in church growth, he can
never take the place of the evange-
listic minister. Unquestionably this is
true, and he might have added that
the professional evangelist goes far
beyond any requirement when he tears
TO shreds the regulations of devoted
local ministers and holds them UP to
the ridicule Of people among whom
they must work long after the tran
5ient has taken his fat purse and flown.

THE CAUSE OF IT ALL
BY Wing Dinger

One of the boys at the office,

me
This morning that late in arriving
At work, he would possibly be.
The water pipes, he said. were frozen,
with torch he was running about
In an effort to locate the trouble
So that he might then thaw it out.
And then about two hours later
He called me again to explain
That after considerable searching
The trouble to find, all in vain.
He learned from some neighbors and
others
Who We're up against trouble like
his,
That the pump which shoots water to

weather comes I'VE shut .ur parks and
our recreation places and tell our
people, young and old, TO go find their
amusement where they may and as
best they may.
Now this is all very we'll for the
well-to-do family, with its ample and
delightful home surroundings. 1t is
all very well for those who have the
wherewith to provide for themselves.
But how about the thousands whose
homes scarcely may be called such?
How about those who are crowded
into more or less cherries quarters
and who have not the means to find
their social pleasures elsewhere in
pleasanter surroundings, unless it be
amid the bright lights of the saloon
or the cheap dance hall? 1t is 'here
that the city should step in to- con-
tinue during the winter the splendid
work it is doing through the park
department in the summer.
1t may be contended that the Clark
act, under which we operate, provides
for no such indoor amusements as
those of social centers, or municipal
dancing places, or bowling alleys or
billiard rooms. And the reply is that
there is small difference between Il
municipality conducted golf course or
tennis court outdoors and a billiard
table or bowling alley indoors.
There can be no question of the
need. One of the physicians of the
m IAn I'd in inT
with the writer few days ago, said:
know of no one thing that
would be more beneficial, morally
of 4. municipality conducted public
amusements. such as dancing,
bowling. billiards and the like, with
reading rooms and public gathering
places, the lighter forms of recrea- ..
tion to be supplemented with con-
certs and lectures. II | could take
YOU down into the crowded quar-
ters where the poor meet socially,
packed into ill-ventilated rooms too
small for their uses, where chill
dren and adults mix to the detri-
ment of both. where talk is often
loose and rough and where vice and
wickedness enter many time un-
hidden and unrecognized until they
have done their deadly work. L
know you would agree with me that
the city ought to turn its attention
to providing meeting places and
forms of wholesome amusement for
hundreds who are seeking social
pleasures and fiding them where
they should not.
1t is this mans conviction that
much of the good accomplished in
the summer is lost during the winter.
He believes that whole families would
go to city conducted places of an eve
ming for basketball, for bowling, for
lectures, or merely to meet and chat
and read. People of all ranks mix
on the public golf links, on the tennis
courts and in the parks, and, he
argues, common winter resorts would
bring about the same results indoors.
Harrisburg has set the pace for
cities everywhere in the way of public
Why not in this new
and somewhat untried form of social
service?

No, the professional evangelist can

America is to be flooded after the war
with the cheap labor products of
Europe.
There is nothing new in the
thought. Most Americans We're con-
vinced of that long ago. The con-,
illusions of the Ambassador and the

War cannot change the law of
supply and demand. Europe will
inevitably go out into the markets
of the world to meet the demand
with cheaper goods because she
must sell goods in order to restore
the trade balances. The men who
survive in Europe will still have
their brains, their skilled hands,
their power of industry and organi-
Zation. These are the things that
must succeed in the world
We must expect n hungry and
eager Europe, in the reaction of
peace, turning every penny she can
to account. She will be building
new passenger steamers to carry
the shoals of tourists to see the
trenches. She will flood our mar
kets. Instead of the United States
being able to sit back and enjoy the
great start she has made, owing to
her security and peace in this war.
she will have to face the sharpest
competition she has ever known.

harder for a dollar than the man
who has ten dollars in the savings

UNLIKE THE MODERN METHOD
Eoyptian Remedies for Skin Disease
Differed Widely From Those at
Present In Use.

The contrast between the very an
cient and the very modern methods of
treating skin diseases is well illustrat-
ed in the medical writings of the an
cient Egyptians. The most modern
method of treating these affections is
by serums. A favorite prescription of
the Egyptian doctors was the follow
ing: "Take the toes of a dog, ripe
dates and asses hoofs in equal parts.
Boil these carefully in pan of oil.
This Is an excellent remedy for skin
eruptions and to make hair grow"
In these ancient writings we find the
first authentic record Of the use of
goose grease in therapeutics, and ap-
parently this remedy has never lost
its popularity. AS used by the Egyp-
tians, however, goose grease was only
one of several ingredients useful In
treating certain skin diseases, particu-
larly badness. In this recipe five
other fats were used In equal parts,
mus, crocodile snake and ibex. This
remedy was to be used for period OF
not more than four days. But 1t APP
pears that skin diseases continued
prevalent in ancient Egypt, just as
they prevail there at the present time
