Questions and Answers.
The Appendicitis Myth have been
taking wheat bran every day in vary
ing quantities, with my breakfast
cereal, and sometimes in bran gems
aud in cookies. 1t has certainly
brought grateful relief to an obstinate
constipated habit. But l am told that
bran may cause appendicitis. Would
appreciate your advice about this.
Answer-It would rather tend to
prevent appedicitis. Roughness, seeds,
skins and other indigestible parts of
the daily food were formely supposed
to cause appendicitis, but the truth is
that such articles, by increasing the
function Of the bowel, really prevent
appendicitis.
PerspirinA, Armpits-Can you rec
ommend some safe application to re-
lieve excessive perspiration in the
armpitS? A.
Answer-Bathe the armpits with a
solution Of a tablespoon of standard
40 per cent formaldehyde solution in
six ounces of toilet water. Also use
as a powder mixture Of one part

ate or plain talcum.

Hun Agents Flock to
Jassy, Moldavian Capital,
Thrust Industry on City
BY associated Press

Paris, July 1o.-There has been an
influx of German commercial agents
and businessmen into Jassy. the lit
tie Moldavian capital. Five new NOV
ing picture theaters have been open
ed and many retail establishments
reopened, but with extremely slen-
der stocks.
There are forty to fifty German
military officers in Jassy, seeing that
the Rumanian army is properly de-
molished, and they are gradually
preparing the people for complete
German domination. The German
officers are losing no chance to create
a friendly feeling among the Ruman-
ian military. German majors and
even colonels invariably saluting Ru-
manian officers, ofttimes when the
latter are merely sublieutenants.
The Rumanian queen has shown
an intense dislike of the Germans
and has repeatedly refused to grant
an audience by high German mill
tary officials. She. the king and the
royal family are living in virtual Sc
clusion at little village in the
Carpathian mountains, seventy-five
miles from Jassy.

PEACE AND GUNS
WILL BE TAKEN
TO AID RUSSIA
American Businessmen to Go
With Material Aid and Take
Armed Guard Along

Washington. July 10. - Entente
governments, through their embas-
sizes in Washington. are now fully
advised of the views of the Wash
ington administration as to the best
means of carrying out President
Wilson's pledge to stand behind
Russia" 1t is understood that a
project is taking shape which ii is
hoped will counteract German influ-
ence and lead the people to rehabili-
tate themselves without exciting dis
trust of the unselfish motives which
lie behind it.
While any official statement of
the administrations policy still is
withheld. there is reason to believe
that the proposal to send American
businessmen to Russia to carry ma
terial aid to the people, with armed
guards TO insure the safety of the
personnel and supplies from German
n aggression. is forming the basis of
the negotiations now proceeding with
unusual rapidity between Washing
ton and the entente capitals. Only
IT has assumed a new phase through
the injection of the idea to make the
and armed guards inter
in composition, thus tending
to disarm any suspicion on the part
of the Russians that their country
is to be exploited in the interests of
a single power.
Entente Won TO Milder Means
This measure is far short of the
original desires of the entente gov
ernment. which frankly favored the
dispatch into Siberia and perhaps
into European Russia through the
Archangel or Kola route. of a joint
military expedition. But it is be-
lieved that in the absence of full
American approval of this plan the
entente powers have been brought 10
at least sanction the experiment of
peaceful penetration and that nego-
tiations are now in progress TO ar
range the details of this enterprise.
At any rate. the fact developed today
that some action is imminent

Workmen's League Comes
to Jitneymen's Aid

Claiming that again the Harris

authority of the city to conduct its
affairs under the law" the Working

on the side of the Harrisburg iitney-
men in the night on them by the trac-
tion company.
The organization has addressed a
letter to Mayor Keister asking that
the jitneymen be given a fair deal
and that the City Solicitor be sent
before the Public Service Commission
IN the hearing. They maintain that
the act giving power to any City
Council to regulate the use of jitneys
within its environs was passed two
years following the passage of the
act which granted similar powers to
the Public Service Commission. They
point out that iitneymen have been
granted permission under the last act
TO operate for two years in Harris
burg. The league officials believe
that 1t is beyond the power of the
commission to pass upon the matter.
