MIDDLETOWN IS
MADE DRY" BY
FEDERAL ORDER
Drastic Step Taken to Pre-
~ vent 'Bootlegging" Near
Soldier Camp

Initial steps for putting the boot
logger and speakeasy keeper out of
business were taken by the federal
authorities last Saturday when Unit
ed States District Attorney r. L.
Burnett, of Scranton, directed United
States Marshal James S. Magee to go
to Middletown and close up the
wholesale and retail liquor shops
there.
Increasing numbers of soldiers at
the aviation supply station who are
securing booze in this city and en-
Virons has led the military and fed
eral authorities to take the step.
Similar conditions at Marsh Run,
where large depots undeG the Quar-
termaster's Department are prac-
tically completed, accelerated the
governments decision to suspend
operation of the liquor shops.
The government has already es-
tablished dry" zones about it's plants
throughout the country and the pro-
hibitionary encircling of Middletown
has long been expected.
By some, the action taken at Mid
dletown suggests that Harrisburg
may soon become dry if the bootleg
ging continues, as this city lies
within the five-mile radius about
Marsh Run and is subject to the
"booze" ruling affecting localities
situated near government plants.

BLACKBRDS TO
GET NEW SEASON
Sentiment in Favor of Change
of the Shooting Period
Is Gaining Now

Officials of the State Game Com
mission have been receiving thoughts
from people i'll regard to the black
bird season and the new plan of
issuing pamphlets containing the
names of Violators of the game code.
Two issues of the latter publication
have been made and as the offenses
include both game and fish law rio-
lations covering the spring season
some residents of Pennsylvania come
in for jolts. The state commission is
committed TO the policy and the Au-
gust list is now in the hands of the
printer and will be issued in spite of
suggestions to forget it and much ad-
vice on the subject.
In regard 10 the blackbirds, there
is much discussion of a plan for ad-
vancing the season. The birds are
legal game after September 1, but
the sentiment expressed at the Wild
Life League meeting at ConneauS
Lake in favor of an early August
date is finding much support in east
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-09-16

ern counties. In the northern part
of the state August l is favored, but
about here the feeling is as IN the
southern tier, from August 10 TO 10.
The birds become a nuisance in oats
fields and orchards late in August in
the farming sections, and while this
year they have remained in great
flocks into the second week of Sep
tember there have been other years
when they were migrating in I'M
mense numbers by September B. The
blackbird has been extensively shot
this year, but the hunting will make
comparatively little impression upon
the flocks, which have been greater
than known in years.
DR.. Joseph Kalbfus, the state
Game Commission secretary, is out
with a warning against the killing of
warblers and other small insect-eat-
ing birds. They have been the prey
of boys and many have been shot.
Let them take to sparrows or help
thin out the Startling" remarked the
veteran sportsman. Just now we
want to keep every insect-eating
bird we have"
Reports coming here tell of an
abundance of wild grapes and other
food in the southern and mountain
counties and of wild turkeys beip 6
very numerous Many quail have
turned up in unexpected places.

You Will Never Be Cured by
Local Treatment With Sprays
and Dol1ches

Catarrah is condition of the
blood and can not be cured by local
applications of sprays and douches;
this has been proven by the thou
sands who have vainly resorted to
this method of treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected
or experimental with. The wrong
treatment is valuable time lost, dur
ing which the disease is getting
firmer hold upon its victim, and
making it more difficult for even
the proper treatment to accomplish
results.

comes more and more aggravated
and finally reaches down into the
lungs, and everyone recognizes the
alarming condition that results
when the lungs are affected. Thus
Catarrh may be the forerunner of
that most dreaded and hopeless OF
all diseases, consumption.
No local treatment affords perma-
nent relief. Experience has taught
that S. S. S. is the one remedy
which attacks the disease at its
source, the blood. and produces sat-
isfactory results in even the worst
cases. Catarrh sufferers are urged

night when Rosewood tackles the

home, but the Hill champions do
not worry over trifle and have been
making better records on strange
floors. The players are all local boys
and rivalry is strong.
The York Independents were out
classed by the local five last night
and are anxious to meet other Har-
risburg teams. They will probably
have an opportunity to play both the
Hassett five and Rosewood champs.
In either case the results will be the
same as last night. There is nothing
in York that can beat a Harrisburg
basketball team of the caliber of the
Independents, Hassett or Rosewood.

According to President John X.
Tener. of the National League, the
honor system s the solution of the
problem of stamping out rowdyism
on the diamond. For years past many
National League games have been
marked by ungentlemanly actions of
players. President Tener early last
season fined Catchers Tragressor.
Gowdy and Killifer. He called the
men before him and exacted promises
from them that thy would behave
themselves during the balance of the
schedule. AS none of the trio made
an outbreak thereafter Tener returned
the fines he had levied upon them.

There was nothing conditional about
the Gowdy offer. II was clean prop
osition, without any clause which
would abrogate the transaction in the
event Hank was unable to join the
new owners. 1t was gamble, but
the other fellows were willing to
take the chance. When Gowdy re-
turns he is certain to be a greater
hero than before. and as a result of
his increased popularity he will prove
to be a greater drawing card.
