a summer message to the league,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-08-08

There is precious little vacation
in sight for the people at the Public
Service Commission offices in this
city, and the predictions that there
would be no cessation of activity
seems justified. The increases in
rates which electic and other util-
ity companies have been forced to
make have caused showers of COM
plants to be received at the offices
of the commission, and every day
something is added to the lists to
be looked up and decided. Last
summer it was the same way only
jitneys were making the trouble, and
this year it is rate increases which
are getting in the way of vacations.

The annual blackbird invasion of
Capitol Park has started. There are
some signs that it is not we'll re-
ceived by the feathered and furred
denizens of the park, but the pug
nacious blackbirds have things their
own way. The order for mobiliza-
ton in the park seemed to have been
given yesterday, because about 100
birds descended on the park and
made themselves thoroughly at
home. The squirrels did not like 1t

TANNING NON-VOTERS.

George B. Perkins of New York has
a new and radical plan for financing
political campaigns. lie doesn't be
lieve that campaigns need any great
amount of hnancing-no nothing more
than the money required for compiling
and getting before the public i'm mod
est way the principal facts regarding
81 candidates experience, ability and
principles And he would provide this
money by the simple device Of imposing
fines on voters who neglect to vote.
The delinquents i'm one election, pre-
sumably. would be levied upon for the
sinews Of war needed for the next cam.
paign.
The idea OF nninE men-or women
who are too lazy and Indifferent to use
their franchise makes a strong appeal
Rut a good deal would depend ON the
way that money was spent. IL voters
had to depend, for their judgment of rival
candidates, entirely on data supplied
them in capsule form, they would be
extremely critical of whoever supplied
the data. Any public body charged
with this duty would have tremendous
political power 10y virtue of its control
Of political publicity.
SO far, the nearest approach OF this
is the plan used in some of our western
states, by which appeals to voters are
handled by the regular election ma
chinery, but the candidates themselves
are permitted TO state their own quail

INCIDENTAL BENEFITS.

Anyhow, the workless days imposed
on millions of workers by the factory
closing order have had one good result.
4 lot of odd jobs that have long needed
doing around the house have got done
at last. Father or brother or son has
got busy with a paint brush, a yarnish
brush a hammer, a screw driver or
other useful instrument and proceeded
to make domiciliary repairs and i'm
provements.
There was nothing else to do, Pro
ionged idleness within doors, in cold
weather, hangs heavy on the hands OF
a normally active man. And so the
men folk in countless homes, aided

DIR GROWTH.

Government experts estimate that the
population of continental United States,
which is to say the main body Of the
country, excluding our island posses
sions. on January was 1O5 100000. That
was an increase Of 100000 over Jan
uary /, 1917. And it's interesting to
rote, in passing, that we might figure
about 100000 of that increase as young
men coming of military age during the
year. At any rate, that's about the
extent of our annual military increment.
Also, on January l we had general
sto}'k of money amounting to $6,25J,-
19IdOO, an increase of 1924 ,15S,OOO over
tlcf'previous New Years day.
J. cash actually in circulation was
S5.l b,425,OOO That is, we had $4S.76
apiece in our pockets and sugar bowls

and hose, exactly s5.7G more than we
had year ago
All of which contributes to the gen
cral impression that the United states
IS growing. The big population increase
was almost wholly native, and there
fore natural and inevitable growth. In
fact, the migration balance probably

crease represents likewise, natural and
Inevitable earnings.
Nothing can keep this country from
growing, i'm people and in wealth, and
in whatever other elements 20 to the
making Of a great nation. Just remem-
Der that on January /, 1870, there were
only $4,000 600 Of us and we only had
1862 apiece i'm circulation. And then
guess how many people and how mucu
active cash wen have say, on January
!, 1850
As for our total national wealth no
body knows how much ii is. The only
thing certain is thai it's over 100000
900 600. more than twice as much as
the wealth of any other nation on earth
ana growing faster than chat Of any
other nation.
our population is the greatest homo
peneous population on earth-that is
apealiing the same language and having
the same civili2auon-au is increasing
faster than any other.
II doesn't demand any unusual pro-
rhetc power To- foretell which is going
to be the foremost nation Of the future.
Heretofore we have played "a compara-
lively small part ia the worlds affairs
We are just coming into our heritage,
just getting our stride as leader Of

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE
AND HOME PROTECTION

The men on the firing line represent
the pick Of our American youth. One
in four Of our boys at home was sick,
rejected because Of physical deficiency.
Many times the kidneys were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or if we want to increase
our chances for long life, DR.. Pierce
Of the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, n.
Y, says that you should drink plenty
of water daily between meals. Then
procure at your nearest drug store
Anuric double strength. This ANU
ric drives the uric acid out and cures
backache and rheumatism.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition diet Of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a day,
is the most suitable. Drink plenty of
pure water, take Anuric three times
4 day for a month.
Step into the drug store and ask for
Anuric, or send DIR. Pierce 10c for trial

than lthia, eliminates uric acid as hot
