York Countians in Row
Enliven House Session

Consideration of the first bill to be
passed finally by the House this ses-
sion was enlivened to-day by a spirited
discussion between two York county
members in which Mr.. Lanius. Demo-
crat, got the worst of it. The bill
was that to amend the old York law
to permit tie poor directors to build
the new almshouse which has been
ordered by the State and Mr.. SpangIer.
Republican, who was in charge of it,
was asked by his Democratic COL
league why the county commissioners
did not get supervision of the work,
Mr.. Spangler replied that it was a
matter for the poor board as the
money was in hand and that in any
event the court had full powers of
supervision. Mr.. Lanius retorted that
the proposition not to have the county
commissioners take charge was silly
and ridiculous" Finally Mr.. SpanC-
Ter charged that Mr.. Lanius was play
ing politics and when Mr.. Cook, York.
Republican, supported Mr.. Spangler
the House got tired of the discussion
and a vote was ordered. resulting in
the bill passing, 14S to II.
The House passed finally a long
list of first reading bills, including the
deficiency bill.

STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead OF
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment-clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach troubles.
If you have bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the SUBJ
stitute for calomel.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for quicl.
relief, so you can eat what you like.
AT l0c and 25c per box. All druggists.

slow trill of the strings to the melody

fective.
The scherzo movement revealed
gayety in minor key-the spirit OF
Russia at play and frolic-the swift
moving horse and sleigh, the winter
sports, the slow and graceful dance
in short, nationalism in music. The
final movement contains the same
theme used in the first. but is de-
veloped through clever contrapuntal
effects. and brought to an impressive
and thrilling close. While the SYM

found, or entirely logical in its con-

peated hearings will reveal new
beauties and more coherency, es-
pecially in the first and fourth move

The afternoon newspapers devote
columns to news from America which

cludes almost everything else from

particular stress on President Wilson S
move to induce Switzerland and other

BY JOHN w. PHILLIPS

We are heartily in favor of award
ing to Walter Damrosch the Nobel
peace prize. He makes his German
family play French or Russian music
and makes the Frenchmen play Ger
man music. He is a wise man. When
certain of his large family are work
ing up a tremendous climax, or billing
the drum or changing the symbols,
they can easily give vent to their
personal feelings and imagine what
they are doing to the other fellow!
Don't you see what fine scheme this
is TO let them fight it out without hurt
ing each othef?
Seriously, the concert offered last
night by the New York Symphony
orchestra in the Chestnut Street Audi
torium was in many respects the great
est musical Offering since the writers s
residence here. Everything on the
program was interesting and of mu-
sical worth. There has come up the
question as to whether any orchestra,
being relieved of financial worry by
receiving a large endowment, will
keep up its ideals and enthusiasm, or
whether its ambition will be dulled by
the sepse of financial security
IN Achievement of Artistry
We cannot imagine Mr. Damrosch
allowing anything to interfere with his
artistic ideals, and the proof was in
section is superb in its evenness and
homogeneity of tone. The wood wind
choir is smoother and sweeter. The
whole orchestra reflected enthusiasm
in the rendition of the music, albeit
there was poise. and elasticity of
phrasing-a sureness,' and sweep of
power, sometimes repressed and some-
times mployed-that proclaimed the
fullness of musical development and
the highest pinnacle of artistic achieve
ment.
The music last night was interesting
as psychological study of the ma
tonal spirit of two nations-Germany
and Russia. There is no denying that
Wagner'S music has the strident mill
tary flavor. the boldness. the assur-
ance of unconquerable and enduring
strength; while the Russians repre-
sented gave us the impression that the
sad minor key-not always present,
but predominating-ist the tone index
of a people, naturally strong and
of fear. The happy element was. for
tunately, evident in the Kalinnikow
symphony in G minor.
The composer died in 1901 at the
early age of S5. His early privations
are said to have fastened his death
and yet, in spite of this. and continued

mind, the brightest and gayest SYM

The first movement, allegro mod

a few drops of a drug called freezone
when applied to a tender, aching corn
stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn dries up and lifts right out with
out pain.
He says freeZone is an ether com
pound which dries Immediately and
never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter
OF an ounce of freezone will cost very
little at any drug store, but is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. Mil
lions of American women will well
come this announcement since the in
