SEND IN THAT NAME

THE Harrisburg Chamber of
= Commerce is engaged in getting
the name of every man who went
into the service during the war from
this city. The task is arduous
enough at best. but it is being made
more difficult by the care,essless
of those who should be most inter-
ested.
Every man, woman ard child in
Harrisburg is interested IN some
soldier, sailor or marine, and they
should see to it that the Chamber
gets record of his name, address
and unit, if possible. These men
are to be honored next Sunday and
Morlay by the community they
went out to serve. The committee
in charge desires to send each man
a formal invitation to the festivities,
but this cannot be done if the name
and address are not at hand.
OF course, every man will be well
come, whether or rot he has re-
ceived a formal invitation; but the
committee would like to honor every
soldier, sailor, marine and war
worker who served with the CO ors
by presentation also of a medal, and
the number of these to be ordered
makes it necessary to have some
accurate knowledge as to approx
mately the number of men who en-
listed from Harrisburg, whether or
rot they are now located here.
Get into touch with your soldier
and see that his name is filed with
the Chamber of Commerce. Take
no chances. Ask him about it, and,
if he has been careless, you act for
him. This list, both for the sake of
curacy of the historical record,
ought to be complete.

America Leads in Dress

[From the Remaking of a Mind,
Charles Scribner's Sons, by Henry
de Man, Leader of the Belgian
Labor Party1
l am here on very controversial
ground, yet l venture to affirm that
American women generally dress
with more taste than do those of
Europe, perhaps not even excepting
the Parisiennes. With regard to the
furnishing of American homes,
have visited enough of all classes on
both continents to be still more
emphatic as to American superior
ity in taste in this respect Much
more originality is displayed there
than in Europe, where the tyranny
of the conventional styles" smoth-
er every attempt to individualize
or even to consider practicability
There is nothing surprising about
this If one asks the question wheth-
er any art can flourish where there
is not a minimum of air, light,
cleanliness and comfort higher than
that which prevails in the so-called
homes of the majority of Europe's
population.
No, the relative imperfection of
the sense of measure and nuances,
above referred to, is but the price
that America pays for her individ-
ualism and energy. Let her pay it
gladly. The weaknesses of youth are
the easiest to cure. Say what one
| will about the difference between
American and European civiliza-
| ton, there can only be one conclu-
sion: They compare with each other
| like youth and old age. 1t is not to
the latter that the future belongs.
| OF all the lessons of the great war,
perhaps none is so incontrovertible
as this.

of the original 74S there were

during the two months interval, but
the evidence was that he had the

WHAT FOLLOWS THE "FLU?"

TUST nothing at all; that seems
u to be the answer to this ques-
tion, if we are to credit an in
vestigation recently made by the
Board of Health of Buffalo, n. Y.
and reported by DR.. w. A. Evans,
the author of the How to Keep
NelP' section printed in numerous
dallies. The $4,000 who had the
influenza last year in Buffalo-and
survived it-are in better health to-
day, DR.. Evans assures us. than II
they had had typhoid, or even
measles, or than II they had gone
through a major operation. There
Is no other severe disease" he says,
which would have left so few semi
invalids in its wake. The results
here discussed puncture, in particu-
lar, several popular ficions, of which
perhaps the chief is that influenza
renders its victims an easy prey to
consumption. The Buffalo investi-
gators found absolutely no evidence
of this. Says DR.. Evans:
In the early spring they (the
BUfeso health authorities) threw a
corps of investigators into the field
to discover what had been the after
effects of the flu There were
$3.50 cases of influenza reported
between October /, 1918, and April
/, 1919. OF these, S,179 died. An
investigator called on each survivor
and asked whether there had been
any after-effects of the disease.
There were 74S who claimed they
had never been the same since they
were acutely sick.
Flu is a severe disease, and
some after-effects can be expected.
But there is no other severe disease
which would have left so few semi
, invalids in its wake; 74S out OF
3S,S00 is a small proportion.
The figures of this survey were
published in the April bulletin. The
June bulletin carries a following
story. Two months after the first
visit an inspector called on each OF
the 74S who claimed to be suffering

[From the Baltimore SUM-
Keep you the open way,

A window open unto the day,

Is open. and free. and sweet.

THE OLD ROAD
[By Amory Hare ]


Road like a vein,
Tell me, where will you take me
Beyond the broad plain?
Will you mend me and make me
The merry-eyed, cherry-lipped
gypsy again
Who followed the jovial patter of
rain
Or the suns ruddy burning?
Will you give me your cloud
mottled hills
Where the wheat mods and bill
lows;
The brook that a shallow pool
At the feet Of the willows?
And show me the meadows that
dance
Mid the music of bees,
Or the shadows that hover and
glance
To the laughter of trees?
Will you give me the longing for
home
When the dark comes to daunt
me?
The urge to go forward and roam
When the moon comes to haunt
me?
The ricks in the gloom by the
barn,
And the smell of the cattle;
The carriers that pause for a yarn
Or go by with a rattle;
The hail and the halt, the good
will
That they toss to the stranger?
The keen stabbing joy of the
thrill
At the coming of danger?
Road like a warm living vein,
Tell me where will you take me
Beyond the broad plain?
Will you mend me, and make me
The merry-eyed, cheery-cheeket

but such a feeder must be of large
size and heavily made in order to hold
sufficient grain to feed bunch of
hogs several days without refilling.
In order that the self-feeder may
readily be adapted to different kinds
of grains 1t should be constructed with
some means Of regulating the opening
through which the feed passes. For
example, cornmeal or barley requires
a smaller opening to prevent too rapid
flow of grain than is required In the
case OF shelled corn. A well-construct-
ed self-feeder will last a number of
years, and as 1t may not always be
convenient to feed the same grain
every season some provision must be
made to accommodate different sizes
of grains.
Care should be taken to see that the
seif-feeder Is always supplied with
each feed, for IL one part of the ration
Is missing the pigs will naturally eat
an increased amount of any other
available nutrient. and In such a case
VIII make very poor use of 1t. For ex-

constitute the ration. If corn were to
become exhausted the shoats would
naturally eat very large amount of
tankage, which would not only fail to
produce rapid gains, but would In.
crease the consumption of very high
priced FEED. Too much emphasis can
not be placed upon this point, for the
beginner is apt to become careless In
the use of device which does not re-
Quire constant Gaze.
