VICTIMS OF
INFLUENZA
Those Who Are Weak
and Rundown Easy
Prey to Widespread
Epidemic
Commonsense Way to Avoid a
Threatening Public Danger

Doctors agree that people who are
weak and rundown are the earliest
victims of the influenza epidemic,
whose ravages are assuming serious
proportions in New England and
New York.
If you find yourself tised, weak or
losing flesh this warning should be
needed promptly. You are in real
and very great danger because the
germ of this epidemic is specially
contagious and in your weakened
condition should you come in con-
tact with 1t you would fall an easy
victim.
The commonsense preventive is to
begin taking Father Johns Medicine
at once because the pure food ele-
ments of which this old-fashioned,
wholesome body-builder is made are
easily taken up by the system and
turned into vital, resisting energy;
giving you fighting strength to ward
off the influenza germ.
Remember, Father Johns Medi-
cine is not a stimulant. 1t is guar
anteed free from alcohol or dam
gerous drugs and does its work SIM
ply and effectively through the
wholesome food elements which it
contains.

CITY JEWELLERS TO
HAVE STEAM HEAT
[Continucd from First Page.]

Sunday morning when all churches
will receive sufficient supplies to meet
their demands. On the following
day, heat will be furnished to Har-
risburg offices. stores and private
residences.
First Steps Gradual
Two days arc required after firing
the boilers, before heat can be fur
nished forconsumption by city peo-
pie. The mains used for conveying
it must be heated gradually and this
requires approximately forty-eight
hours.
1t was said at the offices of the
company to-day that boilers at the
Ninth street plant will be fired as
fast as the demand for heat makes
it necessary to do so. Enough boil
ers are being fired now, they say, to
care for all early season demands.
Plant Entirely Overhauled =
The heating plant has been entire-
ly overhauled during the summer
months and important repairs made.
Several new boilers have been in
stalled. These will be ready for use
before the demand for heat warrants
and makes necessary their firing.

to hunt for them, the apparel had
disappeared in the grand potpourri
of clothing. 1t was only after dill
gent search that their garments were
found snugly nesting among piles
of attire for the people overseas.
Many contributions of money have
been received from people who eX-
planned that they didn't have any
clothing. This money will be used to
purchase more clothing.
Among contributions coming yes
terday was a beautiful brocaded coat
brought into Red Cross headquarters.
"I used to live in Belgium" said the
donor. IT know what the Belgians
like. This is just what they want
Upon examination half dozen clean
handkerchiefs, some collars and 9TH
er female delights were found with
the coat. Another contributions of
an entire wardrobe came from TWO
women in mourning. Sister died
the other week and we want her
clothing to be doing its part in the
winning of this war" they said.
Soldiers and sailors stationed at
the Central Y. NJ. C. A. volunteered
their services yesterday. They will
give their afternoons and evenings to
the cause.
The West Fairview auxiliary of the
Red Cross sent a huge bundle of
clothing this morning as their con-
tribution to the campaign.
Mrs. William Strouse, collection
chairman, announced this morning
that fifty boxes have been packed
and 800 pounds of clothing are al
ready on their way to the Belgians.
It is believed that ten tons of the
clothing are now the total of con-
tribution from Harrisburg.
Speaking in the Majestic Theater
last night Miss Florence Timponi,
singing comedienne, announced she
, will give theater party to the chill
dren of Harrisburg Saturday after
noon in the Majestic. All children
who bring clothing to be deposited
in the reccptacles to be found at
the theater door, will be admitted 10
the performance without charge.
This is through the courtesy of c.
Floyd Hopkins, manager of the the
ater, 1t was explained.
School children are adding their
| mites to the cause. When q pig
truck stopped at the Forney building
yesterday afternoon it was filed with
garments given by the kiddies of the
school. A wee laddie who said his
name was Slothower. living "some-
where on the HILL" helped all
through the afternoon working like
a Trojan. His task was to tie together
the mates of hundreds of pairs OF
shoes. Boy Scouts, also volunteered
their services and many of them
scurried over the city last night ans
wering calls.
Ellwood Cameron Lease, who said
he was a newsboy, came to the
Fourth and Market streets rooms
yesterday afternoon. ready to give
his services. He worked all through
the afternoon and up to late at night
He asked for pay at the end of the
evening but when the situation was
explained to him he dug into his
pocket and gave his days earnings
in the newspaper business to the
cause. And the Belgian treasury is
enriched by twenty-seven cents. 81

Harrisburg has contributed ten

FEW EARLY SUBSCRIBERS

Harrisburg is getting interested
in the fourth Liberty Loan-the
GLORIOUS Fourth" as one of the To-
cal committees posters puts 1t. The
city has made up its mind that it
is going to buy Liberty bonds in a
manner that will make its previous
efforts look small.
A big crowd gathered at loan
headquarters in Market street this
morning to gaze at members of the
famous ALLEN Squad" of the United
States Army, which will be in Har-
risburg Sunday and Monday on be-
half of the loan campaign. They
were here overnight on the way to
Reading. This squad is composed OF
ten men, all regular army soldiers,
and none of them born in the United
States. The Mexican member of the
squad was sick to-day, having high
temperature, and he was sent to the
Harrisburg Hospital to stay until
Sunday.
Carry Full Equipment
The boys carry the complete over
seas equipment, weighing seventy
five pounds The crowd which saw
them to-day wondered at the COM
pleteness of the equipment. 1t con-
tanned everything from tin-hat to
bayonet. The Ecuadorian member
of the squad, not very large man
seemed bent over with the load, but
the huge Turk carried it with con-
summate ease.
The squad will be at Reservoir
Park Sunday afternoon, and with the
Rev. DR.. Robert Bagnell, a band and
trained chorus of singers, will pro-
vide a highly interesting mass meet.

day in memory of the air raid.
When dozens of whistles through
out the city and environs began to
| Shrek their notice of the concerted
air raid by the three airplanes, in
stead of rushing to cellars and other
protected places, as is usual in air
raids, the intrepid residents of Har-
risburg took advantage of every open
place in the streets, roofs, housetops,
and the parks, to observe the avi-
ators. Many people gathered down
town, while the Mulberry street via
| duct furnished a vantage point for
hundreds.
Business at Standstill
Many of the industrial establish
ments and stores were closed for a
few minutes while employees watched
the evolutions of the birdmen. EV-
cry one made a scramble for the
bulletins and pamphlets advertising
the Fourth Liberty Loan, as they
came floating, swirling and nutter-
ing from the air.
The birdmen circled the Capitol
dome, and dropped pamphlets over
the Capitol grounds. Department
employees were out in force to wit
ness the novel sight of an air raid
over the capital city of the state.
When the whistles began to Shrek
wildly, to be followed soon after by
the whir of the airplane propellers,

guish it from an air raid by enemy
planes. The pandemonium of the

For Police Protection

the police department of Harrisburg
for better protection for residents
of his district who, for the past few
weeks have had vast quantities of
fruit stolen from their orchards and
yards. Not young boys but men of
the neighbofhood are accused of be-
ing the pilferers.
Yes" said Mrs. Smith to-day.

the trees besides corn, cabbage, po-
