You're footsick! Your feet feel
tired, puffed-up, chafed, aching,
sweaty, and they need "Tiz."
"TiZ" makes feet remarkably fresh
and sore proof. "Tiz" takes the
pain and burn right out of corns, cal
louses and bunions. "Tiz" is the
grandest ot-gladdener the world
has ever known.
Get a 25-cent box of "Tiz" at any
drug store and end foot torture for
a whole year. Never have tired, ach-
ing, sweaty, smelly feet; your shoes
will fit fine and you'll only wish you
had tried "TiZ" sooner. Accept no
substitute.

New Chancellor Former
Leader of Catholic
Center in Reichstag
BY associated Press

Copenhagen, Oct. 31.-Count Won
Hertling, who has been appointed to
succeed DR.. Michaelis as German inn
perial chancellor, was for long years
the leader of the Catholic center in
the Reichstag. He was one of the few
forcible and first grade. personalities
among the non-Socialist representa-
tives.
Even after his retirement from the
Reichstag to become premier of Ba-
varia the count remained one of the
guiding influences in the Catholic
party and as head of the governm ent
of the second largest federal state,
he has played an important role in
imperial affairs during the war. He
supported Chancellor Won beth
mann-Hollweg against tho conserva-
tive campaign for a long time and
when he withdrew his support, Won
-Hollweg fell.
The new chancellor's name has
been anathema to the Pan-Germans
of the Count Won Reventlow strip OF
| the wing who believe that he is not
their man as far as the annexation
program is concerned. Won Hertling
and Foreign Minister Won KuhlnanI
have been coupled in the Pan German
abuse, but Won Hertling's conserva
tive orthodoxy concerning parlia
mentary reform may be sufficient tt
overcome this prejudice. Much will
depend on his attitude on PrussiaT
franchise reform, concerning which
he has been silent on the ground tha
this is Prussia's own affair.

New German Chancellor
Bitter Against the U. S.

Copenhagen, Oct. 31.-Count Won
Hertling's flatfooted and repeatedly
announced opposition to all parlia-
mentary or democratic development
of German institutions, as well as his
advanced age, seemed to impair his
availability as a candidate for the
chancellorship. The Socialist organ,
Vorwaerts, of Berlin, declared that
the counts opposition to parliament
tarism and to the erection of Alsace-
Lorraine into an autonomous federal
state, made it impossible for the ma
jority parties in the Reichstag to
consider him for the chancellorship.
On Saturday and Sunday Emperor
William received in audience a con-
siderable number of personages, pre-
sumably to inform himself on the
political situation. 1t is evident the
emperor no longer trusts exclusively
to the judgment of Professor Won
Valentini, chief of his civil cabinet,
who is charged with keeping in touch
with the trend of political opinion in
Germany and informing the emper-
or in regard to it. No members of the
Reichstag were received by the en-
peror. who has been carefully guard
ing the surface attributes of his pre-
rogative of making and unmaking
ministers without consulting the rep
resentatives of the people.

SEVEN KILLED
IN FIRE WHICH
DESTROYS PIERS
Nearly $4,OOO,OOO Damage in
Incendiary Fire at Bait;
Munitions Ship Burns
BY Assoeiatcd Press

Baltimore, Oct. 31.-A disastrous
S1ire which wrecked two of the finest
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Terminal piers at Locust Point and
spread to q British steamship that
had just docked at one of the piers
for loading, started last night, caus-
ing the probable loss of seven lives
and financial loss estimated at be-
tween $3,00O,000 and 05,000,000 be-
fore it was subdued. Five of the
.anissing men were members of the
crew of the steamship. Among them
We're two of the ships officers and
lthe chief gunner of the British naval
grew aboard.
Vice President J. NJ. Davis, of the
Baltimore and Ohio, said it was the
belief of the road officials that the
fire was of incendiary origin as cred
ible witnesses stated that they saw
flames leap from piers and 9 at
five points almost simultaneously.
L.Already the police in their investiga-
tion, have arrested one man.
{ The piers represented a value of
fS ! 500, 900; the merchandise stored
ldn them S1.500.000. and the steamer
and cargo 100000.
The steamer will be towed into
shallow water and scuttled in or
der to extinguish the fire which was
istill burning in her hold at l a. m.
The steamer, which docked yester-
Fday afternoon. had on board eighty
lantisubmarine shells from q British
port. These exploded with loud re-
parts and it was not long after that
she sank.
Chief of Police Leigh, of the Balti-
more and Ohio, began an investiga-
uion Immediately of the report of the
pier watchman that he saw five or
six men jump from pier Q just as the
flames broke out.
Several months ago a quantity of
dynamite was found in n loaded
grain car in one of the elevators of
the railroad at Locust Point. The
grain was intended for one of the
allies. The car was traced to its
leading point in the central west and
found to have been loaded by Aus
trian stevedores.
Pier 10 loaded with wheat for eX-
port, was in danger of being burned
early to-day, and only a ftrewall
stood between the fire and this pier
and two others. Baltimore and Ohio
officials felt confident of saving their
piers.

Gus ways to dispose of the garbage

trouble on this account"
Mayor ]. William Bowman, in
speaking of the situation with only
one bidder for the garbage collec-
tions after the present contract ends,
said he thought Council should hold
a conference and discuss the problem
thoroughly before taking any action.
Commissioner Gorgas went a step
further IN suggesting the newly
elected members of Council who will
take office should be consulted also.
City Gets Ready
after election the new members
who will come in should have. an
opportunity to become acquainted
with the situation. Their opinions
might help in reaching a decision.
While the ash and garbage collec-
tions will certainly cost more next
year if the people are willing to pay
for good service they should have IL
and / think the city could maintain
collection schedules. The question
of garbage disposal may cause some
difficulties but these, too, could
probably be overcome"
Health Officer J. M. J. Raunick,
who was placed in charge of the
situation yesterday by Council, and
ordered to employ sufficient men
and teams to give good service. was
busy to-day making preparations for
putting on a force next Wednesday.
He will have complete charge of the
collection work at present. Later a
chief inspector for the newly created
ash and garbage collection bureau
will be named and will be given the
work. He will have assistants also
to supervise collections in various
districts.
With the city making active prep
arations to go on with the collection
of both ashes and garbage should
the reduction company let the bulk
of the work to the municipal author

city should not consider letting
private contract for any of the work
after the present one expires.

ZIG MEN FROM
CITY ENLIST IN
THREE MONTHS
Unofficial Figures Show Har
risburg Is About Free
of Draft

More than seven hundred Harris
burg men have enlisted in the United
States Army through the agency of
the recruiting station here between
July 80 and October 80, inclusive,
it was learned to-day. While official
figures are not obtainable, the be-
lief grew to-day that the second draft
will be avoided by the city
During August 1913 Harrisburgers
enlisted. In September this number
was increased to 209. The October
figures show that 319 men have ans
wered the call for arms. The total
amount is 719 for these three
months.
When the first draft was called il
was found that the city had been
freed and that there were many more
enlisted than was required by the
quota from Harrisburg. which was
| 811. The number over S11 while moi
officially given is estimated a few
short of 100. This number added tC
the enlistments of the three months
brings the total over the required
quota of S11.
There is room for doubt as t,
the figures owing to the possibilit.
of the men accepted being turne,
down when they reach camp, and 70
many other reasons. Nevertheless
is certain that Harrisburg is nearl
lover the top" in the recruiting driv
and there remains only a few NOR
enlistments to practically assure tn
freedom of the city.

Canadians Win Success
In Flanders the British have been
successful in minor operations
northeast of Ypres. Canadian troops
carried the bulk of the fighting in
actions near Passchendaele and Poel-
capelle with the object of straight
ening out the British line. Pass
chendaele, Berlin says, was entered
by the Canadians who were driven
out later. A boggy terrain, rainfall
and strong winds hampered the at
tackers but they reached their OBJ
jectives, which included fourther
sections of the Passchendaele ridge.
Emperor William has placed at
the head of his government Count
Won Hertling, premier of Bavaria
and former leader of the Catholic
center, strong opponent of parlia-
mentary and franchise reform.
Whether he will be acceptable to all
the Reichstag parties is not indi-
Gated. The Reichstag does not meet
again until early December. Copen-
hagen dispatches indicate he will
hardly be welcomed by the Socialists
and Pan-Germans.
No Counterattacks
German efforts last night against
the territory gained by the British
in the Passchendaele region were
confined to artillery fire, no counter
attacks developing.
In the Aisne region on the French
front, General Petain apparently is
preparing to renew his attack south
west of Laon, where he scored his re-
cent brilliant advance. Berlin yester-
day reported a concentrated fire of
powerful proportions from the
French guns in this area while to-
day Paris announces an artillery bat
tie in progress there. In the Argonne
German surprise attack was re-
pulsed.
Try to FraterniZe
From the Russian northern front
come additional evidences of the
German peace drive against Russia,
ir the form of continued attempts
by the German troops to fraternize
with the Russian soldiers. The Rus
sian artillery frustrated the German
efforts, Petrograd declared.

FRETFUL BABIES
NEED A LAXATIVE

When your baby is cross and fret
full the chances are it is constipated
and that a mild laxative is all that is
necessary to make it comfortable and
happy. Inactive bowels are the cause
of as much discomfort to children as
to older people, and unless the con-
dition is promptly relieved is very
apt to develop serious illness.
For children there is nothing that
will act more easily than the combi-
nation of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores un-
der the name of DR.. Caldwell Syrup
Pepsin. 1t does not gripe and is free
from opiate or narcotic drugs, is
pleasant to the taste and positively
effective; children like it and take 1T
readily.
If you have never tried this sim
pie, inexpensive remedy, get bottle
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin from
your druggist and have it in the
house to use the next time any of the
children seem out of sorts. A trial
bottle can be obtained, free of
charge, by writing to DR.. w. b. Caid-
well, 456 Washington ST., Monticello,

Rye and Corn Bread Takes
Place of Wheat on Hotel
Menus in Harrisburg

"Meatless" day was observed yes
terday at the leading hotels in this
city. To-day "Wheatless" day will be
observed. Yesterday meat, with the
exception or poultry. was tabooed on
the menu. One could have all the
chicken, turkey or duck that was de-
sired, but "roasts" were among the
missing. To-day the patrons of the
hotels will have to be content with
rye bread, corn bread, paddy cakes
or corn mullins. Wheat bread will
not be served. These days are being
observed on the advice of the food ad-
ministration, which recently suggest
ed that the cooperation of the hotels
and lunchrooms throughout the coun-
try would do much toward the con-
servation of food. Thus the slogan
was adopted "Tis better to have
to have eatless days"
