ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

Spanish influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May has all the appear
ance of grip or la grippe, which mas
swept over the world in numerous
epidemics as far back as history runs
Hippocrates refers to an epidemic III
4l2 b. c.. which is regarded by many
to have been influenza. Every cen
fury has had its attacks Beginning
with 1881. this country has had five
epidemics, the last in lSS9-90.
There is no occasion for panic-in-
fiuenza itself has a very low percent
age of fatalities--not over one death
out of every four hundred cases, ac-
cOrding to the n. {. Board OF Health.

Many Useful Articles
Being Knit for the
Soldier Bows

Never before has the American
woman taken to knitting on as large
scale as the present time. Every
one of them who did not know how
to knit before, is learning now and
those who have not are almost. OUT
of date. The Red Cross has been the
incentive to many and others have
boys of their own for whom they are
knitting.
A great many women thought that
knitting was hard, until they tried it
and then to their delight they found
out how easy it was. Only a little
practice makes the average woman
as proficient in the use of the needles
as many of our great-grandmot others.
One of the serious questions is
knitting is the scarcity of all kinds
of yarn. George r. Nauss. of Steel
ton, who conducts an Art Needle
Craft Store in Front street, at the
corner of Pine, has a large stock on
hand. He sells the best grades. He
also teaches knitting. He has large
trade in stamped goods and all ac-
cessories.
The Steelton and Middletown cars
stop right in front of his door. If
there is any shade of yarn that you
are desirous of getting it will pay
you to visit this store.

Milk Not High in Com
parison to Other Foods;
Has Great Values

There is a good deal of agitation
nowadays in the mind of the aver
age businessman as to how he is
going to make both ends meet for
the coming season. 1t seems as if
everything under the sun has sud
denly shown a disposition to initiate
air, as far as price is concerned. OF
course, there are some foods which
have not altered much in value, but
as u rule those are the foods of which
the average man and woman are not
overfond. But take edible milk, meat
and bread, and they have scared &c
tremendous and awe inspiring
heights. Milk, however, is one of
those few foods without which man
would he lost. Not only is it an ex-
cellent food in itself, but it's variety
and multiplicity of uses in other
foods and in combination with other
eatables, make it ever more valu.
able. In these times of stress ant
strain, the best foods only should be
eaten, and milk is one of the best
foods. The Cumberland Valley
! Dairy at Lemoyne, Clarence Gill,
proprietor, operate one of the most
p-to-date plants in Harrisburg and
vicinity, for the distribution of milk
and cream. Thousands of dollars
have been invested in modern ma
chinery and all milk sold by The
Cumberland Valley Dairy is pas
teurized, clarified and otherwise
treated in the most approved sani-
tary methods.

A Five-Cent Carfare Often
Saves a Good Many Dollars

There are numerous occasions
when in spending a five-cent carfare
taking q little ride in the trolley and
going to a store where rents and
overhead expenses are low, that you
can often save a good many dollars
This is so in most any line of bust
ness. Most people spend carefare in
going down street to the business
section of the city to make their pur-
chases; spend their money and feel
satisfied that they have gotten all
their money will buy, and do not in
vestigate any further in looking for
real economy.
These are the days of economy in
every line of business, whether it be
buying or selling, and the way to get
the most for the dollar is to go
where that same dollar will buy the
most.
II. G.. Day, the piano man at 1921
Derry street, is Offering big bargains
in musical instruments. He conducts
a general musical store and is out Of
the high rent district. Necessarily his
overhead expenses are not as high as
many of the stores that are in the
business center of the city. The
Derry street trolleys (Hummelstown,
PaXtang and other cars going out
that dll tSbiOiJ etii pe'So Nhio StOlSs IL
is a simple matter to get off here in
stead of going further. and in doing
so save some money.
Mr.. Day handles the best in mu-
sical instruments, both pianos and
monographs. He maintains credit
system, thereby enabling anyone to
have music in the home on the easy
payment plan. 1t is well to investi-
gate these conditions before buying
and assure yourself that when
spending money you will get the
most for the dollar.

Shopping Made Easy When
You Can Buy Anything
You Want in One Store

1t is indeed a pleasure when you
go on shopping tour of the down
town section, to get into the street
carand have 1t take you to the door
or the store where you are assured
you can buy anything you want from
hairpins to parlor suites. Gately &
Fitzgerald Supply Company, 81 South
Second street is just that kind of
store. You can buy anything and
everything that you could possibly
think of in this great big store.
Clothing for father, mother, brother,
sister, the baby and all the family re-
lations, furniture of all kinds and
descriptions, stoves, ranges, carpets,
rugs, toys. oh, say, 1 can't begin to
mention all the useful things that
are displayed on sale.
Credit System Used
Among the big features of this big
store is the credit system. People
have somehow gotten the idea that
the credit system is costly, inasmuch
as the prices must be higher than
for cash sales. This is decidedly not
so. With the universal capacity for
big buying that the Gately & Fitzger-
aid Supply Company enjoy, they un-
doubtedly can sell their wares for
much less than the average mer-
chant because of the discount they
receive by buying things in carload
lots.
Prices at this big store are so
adjusted that a nominal profit is
made on all articles and so that the
customer gets the advantage of the
Gately & Fitzgerald Supply Com
panys power of buying and selling
Out of High Rent District
Another unique feature of this big
store is the fact that it is out of the
high rent district and yet so near the
heart of the city. This is also a big
saving in overhead expenses which
again demonstrates the fact that
there naturally is big saving to the
public by taking advantage of the
opportunity of buying there.
Frank II. Downey, Manager
This big store has been contin-
uously doing business in Harrisburg
since 1882, thereby making it one
of the oldest established businesses
in this city. Frank r. D.qwney,
the manager, has been identified
with the company since he was a
boy. Since 1903 he has had charge
of the Harrisburg branch, therefore
being well Informed In his line of
business and capable of conducting
his matters in such Il way that the
customer is not only very satisfied
one but ready to come back and buy

Real Merit and Economy
Shown in Harrisburg's
Leading Restaurants

! The Philadelphia Quick Lunch,
| 307 Market street, established elev-
en- years ago by its present proprie-
tor, George Coloviras, when quick
| lunches were in their infancy, has
asserted itself as one of Harrisburg S
| leading Restaurants. 1t is due to
the untiring efforts of Mr.. Coloviras
to please his customers. Service is
the main issue at the Philadelphia
Quick Lunch, connected with first
quality foods, well prepared and
served to the queens taste.
Mr.. Coloviras, through his vast
experience as a restaurant man,
knows what's what when it comes
to serving the public. All the baking
of the delicious pies and cakes that
you eat here for breakfast, dinner
and supper are baked right on the
spot. A large force of men are en-
ployed in the bakeries, which are
right back of the main restaurant
in Market street, in rounding into
shape the many kinds of pastry for
which the Philadelphia Quick
Lunches are noted. To get the best
results that are obtainable in the
restaurant business requires lot of
viras surely does. When you walk
into any of the Philadelphia Quick
Lunches, three of them, you can
feel assured that you are getting the
best cooked food as we'll as the
quickest service in the city.
And not among the least of the
merits of these fine restaurants is
the standard prices maintained to
fit the pocketbook of everyone. All
the prices are so adjusted that the
customer receives the most for his
money. 1t is, indeed, real economy
to eat at any of these restaurants.
With conditions such that every
nickel counts, you must look for the
best quality and the most for your
money. The Philadelphia Quick
Lunches also serve the biggest va
riety of dishes in the city.
The different branches of the Phil
adelphia Quick Lunch, besides the
main restaurant at S07 Market
street, are located at 407 Market
street and at 305 Broad street. All
the cooking and baking is conduct
ed under the most sanitary condi-
tions and every courtesy is shown
the patrons in a desire to live up
to the reputation as Harrisburg S

School of Commerce
Growing Rapidly; Large
Enrolment for Summer

The School of Commerce estab-
lished 1894, now the oldest and larg-
est in Central Pennsylvania, has been
successfully conducted since 1907
under the personal supervision of
d. l.. NJ. Raker. The enrolment
books show over 500 students, con-
sisting of normal, high school, teach
ers, college people, and people of
leisure and wealth. Two years ago
its various departments, equipment,
teachers, courses of study and meth
DDS were examined by a national
committee on education and it was
pronounced a standard school and
was admitted to the National Asso-
citation of Accredited Commercial
Schools of United States and Canada.
1t is Mr.. Raker's aim to keep fully
in touch with every important de-
velopment in modern Office devices
and methods.
The new stenotype machine was
introduced five years ago for those
students who desire greater speed
and an easier method of taking die
tation. Ten teachers are employed
and are specialists as heads of their
department, which leaves each de-
partment with the last word in eff
cheney. Every graduate receives q
diploma from the school and a poe
ket certificate from the n. a. A. G. S.
which gives membership in the en-
olOyment department of any ac-
credited school in the country. Glass
and individual instruction are given
and the student may enter at any
time of the year, any Monday, and
pursue the course as rapidly as their
ability will permit them, regardless
of what others are doing. School of

at beginning salaries of $1,000 or
$1,000 a year. Many others are
leaving each month at salaries rang
ing from S1,100 or $1,000. Many
ambitious students are working
unusually well, making special at
tempts to finish in a short time. One

during which time an effort will be
made to dispose of the excess potato
supply held by farmers from their
last years crop. The local grocers
have endorsed the movement, which
entails the handling of large guam
titles of potatoes at a profit of ten
cents per bushel. The plea to use
