For sake of argument consid-
er the flea-just one little insig-
nifcate flea will keep a dog as
busy as a few little yanks at
present are keeping the whole
German army. A flea is a lit
tie thing to hunt for, but, a big
thing to find; so Rover thinks.
We thought maybe the small
advances in prices would rile up
the latent ire of our customers
but we find OUR patrons are too
big mentally not to appreciate
that advances have come only
where necessary.

PLAN TO SWING
HARRISBURG VOTE
FOR PROHIBITION
Organized Churchmen For
First Time to Fight Against
Organized Booze

Each precinct in the city and each
voting district in the county is to be
thoroughly canvassed in the cause of
prohibition this spring in time for
the primaries under plans made last
night at a mass meeting of dele
gates representing virtually all
churches and denominations in the
city.
1t is the purpose of the organiza-
ton to see that only men pledged to
the support of national prohibition
and other anti-booze measures are
nominated at the primaries. The
work is to be carried out to the finest
detail, and according to the plans,
the entire force of all Bible classes
and churchmen will be felt.
Each church is to organize a COM
mittee to work in the ward in which
the church is situated. The commit
tees from the various churches in
the same ward will cooperate close
ly under the direction of the eXecu-
tive committee.
To see that the "stay-at-home vote
is gotten out to meet the steady Vot-
ers who are friendly to the saloons
all tax lists available will be used in
Each voter will be asked to enroll In
his party so that he can take an ac-
tive part in the primaries.

Lemons Do Whiten!

The lemon juice massage Indulged

little time and trouble, girls, but
what of the splendid results? A skin
bleached beautifully white, a COM
pleXion with the bloom of a peach,
a softening of those lines of care; in
fact. a skin eloquent of natures
purity and hands white, soft and full
of charm.
What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove COM
pleXion blemishes; to bleach the
skin and to bring out the roses, the
freshness and the hidden beauty!
But lemon juice alone is acid, there
fore irritating, and should be mixed
with orchard white this way. Strain
through a fine cloth the juice of two
fresh lemons into bottle containing
about three ounces of orchard white,
then shake we'll and you have a
whole quarter pint of skin and COM
pleXion lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for a small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice so no pulp gets into
the bottle, then this lotion will re-
main pure and fresh for months.
When massaged daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands it should ma
turally help to whiten, clear, smooth
en- and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

Pennsy Is Big Loser
Under Government Control;
Deficiency of Two Months

Philadelphia, April 2.-For the first
two months under Government con-
trcl, the United States owes the
Pennsylvania railroad system $12.-
371,27S on account of an operating
deficit for such period. 1t is also
obligated to make over to the sys-
tenn, as the Just compensation" set
by the control act, a further amount
equal to one-siXth of the average an
nual net operating revenue for the
three-year period ended June 80 last.
In the statement, issued yesterday,
showing the above-given deficit, the
company adopts the form to show the
net operating sincome. as it now is
oeficit, in accordance with the terms
of the new law. which created a re-
volving fund of s500.000.00 to make
good all the undertakings which the
Government has assumed.
Prior to this year there had not
been any single month almost for a
generation in which the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad system did not earn a
surplus over it's operating and main
tenance costs. For last month the
system did a total business of $751;
5S7.6i5 and lost s5.7O2,S67 in doing it.

u. S. Has Plan of Gun.
With 105-Mile Range

Washington, April 2. - Plans for a
supercannon of long range, possibly
similar to the one with which the
Germans have been bombarding Paris,
have been submitted to Secretary
Daniels by naval ordnance experts
after months of experiment. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that the report In
cludes a statement that the ordnance
officers do mot believe its military
value would compensate for the time
and money to develop it.
American ordnance officers have
been interested in the possibilities or
long range guns for the past ten
years. The BELIEF that the game was
not worth the candle" as one officer
expressed it yesterday, prevented
rapid progress, but experiments were
not dropped. and since the entrance
of the United States into the war add
ed interest has been evidenced in the
Navy Department.
Reports were heard in some quar-
ters yesterday thta a range of lO5
miles was expected of the gun now
under consideration. Secretary Dan
iels would not discuss the matter in
any way Other officials declared that
no definite data were at hand on
which to make any such estimate.
