FIRE PREVENTION
DAY OCTOBER 9
Governor Brumbaugh Issues
Proclamation Designating
That Day

Tuesday, October ., has been pro-
claimed by Governor Brumbaugh as
Fire Prevention Day in Pennsyl-
Vania and the people of the State
are urged on that day to clear up
and remove from premises "all rub
bish, trash and waste" The Gov
ernor also suggests that special ef-
forts be made to see that properties
are in good condition and that heat
ing apparatus and chimneys be put
into proper shape, while the protec-
ton on all buildings of n public
and semipublic character be in
spected.
The proclamation is as follows:
The menace of fire is greater
this year than ever before. The alb
normal strain upon production is in
itself an element of fire hazard,
while the activities of hostile in
cendiaries threaten in many parts of
the country, causing the destruction
of needed supplies of foodstuff and
other vital staples These fires will
power and wealth by the elimination
of resources.
The fire loss throughout Penn
sylvania as reported by the State
Fire Marshal is unnecessarily heavy
and must be recognized as a pre-
ventable evil This calls for constant
and especial effort on tho part of
our people at this time, that under
war time conditions we may use ev-
cry endeavor for it's elimination. This
can be accomplished. 1t becomes the
imperative public duty of all our
people to assist in the prevention of
fire by the removal of all dangerous
conditions.

are necessary TO maintain the health
of the teeth.
The teeth represent live parts
of the body and must be guarded

SCORES APATHY
OF AMERICANS
Captain Harrell Claims Peo-
pie Are Wishing Cause
Well but Are Not Acting

There is only one way to win
this war. and the man who fails to
give his country the very best he is
capable Of at this time deserves to be
branded as a traitor" This was the
emphatic statement of Captain w. F.
Harrall at the local Army Recruiting
Headquarters this morning when dis
cussing the duty of the Harrisburg
district to furnish a large number
of recruits for the conflict now be-
ing waged in the cause of liberty and
democracy in Europe.
The people as whole are not
taking enough interest in this war;"
continued Captain Harrell The
average person wishes the cause well,
but is willing to trust a great deal
to Providence"
Must Awake
In the opinion of Captain Harrell
the young men of this country must
soon awaken to a seriousness of their
responsibility. There are many va
cancies in the Regular Army. Prac-
tically every branch of the service is
calling for men. 1t is not enough to
wish the cause we'll. Young men
must enlist.
II enough young men had enlisted
at the outset to successfully conduct
Americas part in this conflict, the
moral influence would be equal to
the physical force exerted by the
vast army of men. The draft should
not be considered n primary force,
but a reserve force. Young men
capable of performing military duty
should not wait to be drafted. but

DIR. DIXON URGES
CARE FOR TEETH
The Commissioner of Health
Points Out Importance of
Starting Early and Right

Or. Samuel G.. Dixon, state Com
missioner of Health, followed up his
talk on taking care of children s
health now that school days have
begun, by pointing out the impor-
tance of taking care of the young
teeth. DIR. Dixon holds that the view
that children's teeth do not need at
tention is erroneous and that it
should be the mothers part to see
teeth.
DR.. Dixon's talk which is address,
ed especially to mothers is as fol-
lows:
Good teeth are necessary for
health. What adds more to the
beauty of the human face than a
mouth full of fine teeth?
THE first teeth need great care.
First, the mother should see that
the mouth is not overcrowded so
that its form may be maintained for
the second teeth when they come.
The baby teeth are softer than
those that come after and, there
fore, acids must be scrupulously
avoided, particularly in mouth
washes. as they will destroy ii ese
important teeth which should be
kept in the mouth as long as they
are in good condition.
Your doctor or druggist should
be able to tell you about the acidity
of the tooth preparations that are
on the market.
1T is always pleasure to learn
how to do things for ones self; IL
makes you self-reliant and at the
same time stimulates you to seek
further knowledge.
IF you suspect your tooth prepa-
ration of being acid you can buy a
few cents worth OF litmus paper
from your druggist, and by dipping
a very small piece of this into YOUR
mixture a reddish tinge will appear
on the paper If there is any acid
present If acid. forbid the use OF

should enlist at once. Buying bonds,
contributing to the Red Cross, and
participation in similar activities are
very good. said the speaker, but the
first duty of every young man capa-
bic of bearing arms Is to offer his
services to his country.
Tho intensive campaign which is
now being conducted in the Harris
burg district Is producing splendid
results, but some sections are not
doing their share. Only two cities,
Harrisburg and Lancaster. have Sc
cured the necessary quota to exempt
them from the first draft.
Make Good Records
Allentown, Altoona and Johnstown
are making good records since the
opening of the campaign, which is
attracting the attention of the entire
country. Under the direction of Cap
tain Harrell. this district has led the
entire country
Schuylkill county deserves credit
for excellent work, having enlisted
over two thousand recruits. Some of
the counties in the district have little
to be proud of. but Captain Harrell
is convinced that these counties will
make new record in recruiting dur
ing the next three months. Counties
that have the fewest men to their
credit are Adams, Franklin, Hunt
ingdon, Mifilin, Perry and Berks.
Reading, with its big population, is
away down in the list.

Barber Would Do Away
With Egg ShampoOs

South Bend, Ind. Sept. 24-J. d.
Kilmerer n barber of this city. has a
scheme to save 100000, 900 eggs q
year for the consumption of the
people. He has pat his plan before
National Food Director Hoover and
received from him assurance of its
consideration. Kilmerer would do
away with egg shampoos during the
war. He says that on an average,
which is considered low. each barber
in the United States gives three egg
shampoos n week. using two eggs.
Recent statistics show that there are
5000 BARRIERS. Thus If the Govern
ment placed n ban on egg shampoos
for men it would mean the saving of
93,600,000 eggs each year provided
each barber averaged but three
shampoos. But other BARRIERS in the
