WINTER AND SPRING TONIC

Winter is a hard season for those who
have no stored up reserve of strength.
The coming of trying spring weather
means sickness for many because de-
bility robs the system OF its power to
protect itself.
One, person may suffer exposure 20
cold and wet without any i'll effects
while another whose blood is thin and
whose nerves are rundown will be con-
fined to bed after sitting in draught.
Keeping the blood built up is the
secret of keeping well in winter and
spring. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People are the best and most con-
venient tonic for the blood. Put up
with complete directions for use they
are a family remedy that can be de-
pended upon in conditions of thin
blood, debility and many common
forms of weakness.
The blood goes to practically every
part of the body and If it IS rich and
red it carries health and strength to
every organ. The digestion is toned
up, the nerves are strengthened and
aching muscles are made strong. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are especially use-
full to rundown women who worry
about their daily tasks and duties.
A few weeks treatment has in hum
dreds of such cases brought the most
Sem. rkable Improvement

STATE SAYS GEESE
ARE PROFITABLE
Interesting Bulletin Put Out by
the State Department of
Agriculture

The State Department of Agriculture
is urging farmers to give attention to
raising geese, which it says form a
profitable poultry crop. Geese are
said to have almost no diseases and
are easy to raise.
There has been a decrease of almost
two per cent. in the number of farm
ers employing female household help
during the past year on account of the
inability to secure farm labor, accord
ing to the Department bulletin.
1t is estimated that sixteen per cent.
OF the farmers of the State have stored
ice during the winter for use this
summer.
Reports of serious injury to the
peach buds in the northern and central
sections of the State have reached the
Department of Agriculture.
Dogs which have been a menace to
the sheep industry are now reported
to be making raids on the poultry
tiocks of Blair county farmers.
There has been marked increase in
the number of cattle being fed for
beef purposes, the lack of farm labor
turning many farmers to this method
of agriculture.
Farm help is so scarce that Secre-
tary of Agriculture Charles r. Patton
has appealed to merchants and manu-
facturers to spare one or more men
one day week to help out in the
agricultural districts of the State.

STATE TOFIGHT
THE WHEATPESTS
Important Work Undertaken
by. the Department of Agri-
culture This Spring

One of the most extensive projects
planned by the Department of Agri.
culture for the coming season will be
control Investigations to discover safe
planting dates for wheat in the several
zones of the State in order to avoid
damage to the crop by the Hessian fly.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of wheat is damaged each sea-
son in various sections of the State
through the ravages of the Hessian fly
and while farmers in general have
been advised by the Department OF
Agriculture to plant wheat in the fall,
no detailed study of the fly has been
made.
The work will be under the super
vision of Zoologist j. G. Sanders whose
plans for control work in farm, truck
and orchard crops promise to be the
means whereby great savings in all
crops can be effected on the farms and
in the orchards of the State.
1t Will be the effort of Zoologist
Sanders and the experts under him
TO determine the "fiy-free'' or safe
planting dates in the several sections
OF the State. They will ascertain dates
Tor the adult flies through close study
OF the life history, in the several alti-
tudes and latitudes of the State and
will thus be able to recommend ac-
curate dates for the safe planting that
Will keep wheat free from the fly.
Another control feature will be to de-
termine the effect of burning over in
tested wheat stubble. Cooperation
with the farmers in several sections of
the State will be sought.
The work will consist of careful
study of the two life cycles of the
Hessian fly from egg to adult, occur
ring each year, and by careful OBJ
servatton of the fall emergence of flies
and the length of their period of egg
laying, the dates in the several sections
of the State after which wheat may be
planted with safety will be determined.
The control work will extend over a
period of three or four years and will
be conducted in connection with other
Investigations of field and grain in
fecting insects.
Special apparatus will be secured for
the work and it is hoped to have
farmers extend their cooperation by
conducting experimental planting. Ex-
perts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture have already
signified their intention to assist Zoo
logtst Sanders with this work in Penn
sylvania, which ranked third among
the wheat producing States during the
past year.

MANY INTERESTED
in MILITARY CAMPS
Local Men Display Enthusiasm
at Meeting Addressed by
Plattsburg Boosters

Interest in the Plattsburg training
camps received new impetus last eve-
ming when forty or more men of vari-
Gus ages met in the Board of Trade
and heard the proposed plans for this
years camps discussed by Merrill e.
Gates, Jr., field secretary for the Mill
tary Training Camps Association and
by several members of the local re-
cruiting committee.
Mr.. Gates, who is the son of former
president of Amherst College, came to
Harrisburg for the express purpose of
lnaugurating n recruiting campaign
Tor the summer camps, which it is un-
derstood will be held unless unforeseen
circumstances prevent. The field
secretary seemed very much gratified
at the progress that had already been
made in the way of organization To-
cally, and made q number of valuable
suggestions which will be adopted as
the work advances. He explained to
the meeting the great interest that is
being shown in other cities where he
has visited, and informed his hear
erS that already over 1900 names
have been enrolled for the camps and
the notices have but just been issued.
Plattsburgers Speak
among the men at the meeting were
several who had attended previous
camps. John NJ. Smith, of Lingles-
town, spoke very feelingly of the
necessity for the care of the feet, one
of the first things a soldier must learn,
and e. j. Stackpole Jr., Coyle j. Ken
nedy, of Chambersburg. and others
told of their experiences as special
entry soldiers. Mention was made of
the "Plattsburg spirit" which enters
the blood of every man who has at
tended the camps and works like
spring fever in bringing him back un-
failingly each succeeding year, for the
physical and disciplinary benefits in
volved.
Application forms and Informative
pamphlets are now obtainable at the
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH. Mem
bers of the recruiting committee are
prepared to give what information
they have at hand to any who are in
terested.

Outline of the Bill For General
Insurance Presented to

Considerable attention has been at.

bill presented by Representative ]. j

patton and was prepared after four
years of investigation and study un-
der the direction of the American AS
sociation for Labor Legislation CO.
operating with the American Medical
Association and representatives of la
Dor and industry. This bill is being
introduced in Legislatures this year.
The bill provides compensation for
losses due to sickness to all manual
workers and all others earning less
than 500 per month. 1t covers any
sickness or accident not within the
scope of the workmen's compensation
act. Benefits include medical, sur
gical and nursing attendance; med
ical and surgical supplies; maternity
benefits for childbirth; cash benefits
for maximum of twenty-siX weeks
in a year, and limited funeral bene-
fit. The State is to assume one-fifth
of the cost of insurance; two-fifths
is to be paid by employers and the
remaining two-ffths by employees. Lo-
cal mutual health funds are created
for the administration of these bene-
fits and are to be under the joint con-
troll of the employers and the insured
employees.

bill says:

per cent. of the population cannot af-
ford to engage a private physician.
In single State last year. working
men and women paid more than $29,-
100000 to insurance companies for
industrial insurance, and the benefits
burial benefits. Under the plan of uni
Versal health insurance these people
would have received, without any
greater expense to them. not only
burial insurance but also medical,
nursing and hospital care, and in ad-
dition two-thirds of their wages dur
ing their sickness. .
When Governor Mccall made COM
pulsory health insurance the leading
recommendation in his message to the
Massachusetts Legislature, he gave
prominence to the fact that this form
of insurance has had a long and
thorough test in no less than ten
European countries, and has, without
a single exception, resulted not only
in the improvement of public health,
but also in great economic saving and
increased industrial efficiency. During
1916 two States-Massachu and
California-had social insurance COM
missions investigating, health insur-
ance. Both of these State commissions
have given official endorsement to the
