Two hundred tired United States

message warning the local Red Cross

not received in Harrisburg until

The Red Cross canteen takes care
of soldiers passing through Harris

great distance. They have served
meals at all hours of the day and

TELLS HOW JAIL
INMATES MAY BE
PUT TO WORK
State Agent Declares the City
"Pesthouse" Ought to
Be Abandoned

Plans for putting to work the men
serving short terms in the Dauphin
county Jail so as to increase the
manpower of the county were dis
cussed in detail yesterday at con-
ference between prison officials and
Edward Wilson, assistant general
agent for the State Board of Public
Charities.
Warden McIlhenny reported that
he has 14S male prisoners, most of
whom might be put to productive
work. The labor on the highways
would release more fortunate men
for other necessary tasks. it was
said
Mr.. Wilson explained to prison
officials that the cost and trouble of
making effective the proposed plan
ought. not to be weighed against
the patriotism of the project.
The county's charitable institu-
tions were inspected during Mr.. Will
sons stay in the city and he report
ed them, particularly the almshouse
to be in splendid condition. Marked
improvement has been made there
within the last two years, he de-
clared.
Mr.. Wilson advocated the build
ing of municipal hospital near the
almshouse site, to supersede the di-
lapidated "pesthouse" which he said
was unfit for the purposes to which
1t was put. The Hospital" has been
in use all spring because of the
smallpox epidemic.
