REPLY.

Pin worms live in the lower bowel.
They are dislodged and killed by
enemas. For instance, one consist
ing Of one tablespoon of salt to the
pint OF water. This is given just
subsequent to cleaning, the bowel by
a purgatiye, or by taking simple
enema.
TT may be necessary to repeat the
salt enema once or twice at intervals

Member of the Associated Press
CITY'S STAKE IN HARRISBURG

0Nl1E adoption OF the home rule amend
/ ment to the State Constitution suggests
che advisability Of an early conference of
representatives of the various cities Of the
Commonwealth in order that agreement may
be reached on the character Of the bill to be
passed by the Legislature.
The amendment empowers the Legislature
to permit the cities TO draft their own
charters under such regulations as Il may
adopt. The cities themselves ought to be
allowed TO make their cwn recommendations
about the extent Of the power they are TO
enjoy and the restrictions that are to be put
upon it. Men Of experience in Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh and Scranton and Erie and
Allentown and Reading and Wilkes Barre
and Lancaster and Harrisburg could make
q profitable contribution TO the discussion.
Then there are matters affecting Philade'-
phin alone that ought to receive attention.
this winter. one Of them IS the Municipal
Court. which has been used as n personally
conducted political machine. In the act
creating this court the Board Of Judges
made the appointments ~ the clerks. proba-
ton officers, stenographers and the like.
That act was changed so as 70 put he
appointing power in the hands Of the Presi.
dent Judge alone.
If 1t is possible under the Constitution to
q municipal court-and to make It branch
Of the City Government. the problem would
be solved forthwith. for then the appoint.
ments would be made through :"e civil
Service Commission. and the erection OF 4
building to accommodate It would be under
the direction Of the Department OF Public
Works.
The court was created to supersede the
magistrates courts. but those courts have
been allowed to continue. They cannot be
abolished without an amendment to the Con-
stitution. and the Constitution has not been
amended because It would involve the abol!-
ton of a lot Of jobs useful to the politicians.
It is evident that Philadelphia has vita!
interest in what is to happen in Harrisburg
this winter. The right things will not hap.
pen, however. If :ae people are !ndife--.t
and permit the men who make living out
Of politics to have things their own way.

all its influence for social and political de.

all It's influence for social and political de.
struction we have not heard Of Il.
Prohibition ought now to be considered In
other than the emotional light. 1t may be
worth while to remember that the move.
ment against liquor began as movement
not against wine or beer or even whisky IN
themselves, but against the widespread and
appalling abuses of the trade centering In
the average saloon. There were good rca.
sons for that movement and they are still
valid, and they cannot be explained away
by any arguments drawn from examples
provided by the free liquor trade OF any
other country, since the saloon was pecu.
liarly American device and menace that
In its ultimate form would not have been
tolerated outside the United States.
We shall hear speeches in the new Con.
gress about the harmlessness OF moderate
drinking In France, where the people are
supposed to thrive on thin mixtures Of
weak wine and water. Little will be said
about the great quantities Of brandy con.
sumed In France. That will not greatly
matter. Nor will it matter what the British
are doing and thinking in their efforts to
escape the bad effects of universal drinking.
The problem Of intoxicnnts and of dry
and "wet" laws as it exists in this coun.
try is peculiar. Here 1t Is the saloon,
rather than light wine or beer. that is and
always has been abominablc and dangerous.
Light wines and beer do not seem appall.
ing in prospect What the ''wcts' ought
to tell US is whether with light wines and
beer or their limitations they propose to
restore the saloon to its old evil place In
the United States.

ART MUSEUM DOLDRUMS

7NllE responsibilities Of the city IN connec.
i tion with the Art Museum are such as
do not admit Of argument. Th" advis.
ability Of this project has long passed out
Of the realm Of debate Mayor Moore Is,
therefore, thoroughly justified in forcing an
Investigation into the condition of the pre-.
tentious work and into circumstances which,
II not remedied, are likely to prove obstacles
to progress.
1t Will occasion no public surprise to
learn that the present delays are asCribcd to
lack Of funds. This is q familiar cry In
cases Of municipal constructions and it Is
undeniable, as the record Of the old Public
Buildings Commission all too wildly em-
phasizes, that the plant has in the past
been overworked.
But the Art Museum is an undertaking
which cannot be casually dropped. Upon
its erection the possession Of magnificent be-
quests OF paintings. representing collections
with few rivals In America. is contingent.
Furthermore. the work involving vast
typographical changes at the head of the
Parkway cannot be incontinently aban.
doned. The millions already expended upon
the foundations and partial construction of
the building thus far will be wasted unless
the enterprise is carried to logical fruition.
The slow delivery OF structural steel Is,
MS was suggested at the meeting Of the Fair.
mount Park Commission, a handicap which
can be overcome by properly exerted pres.
sure. But the obligation of Council and OF
the public In general will remain.
II n new loan Is needed it is imperative
that preparations for floating it should be
begun rs speedily as possible and that the
public should be encouraged to support the
idea. even though an election on the sub.
ject, unless a special one is called. cannot
be held for another year.
Having elaboratcly embarked upon the
museum enterprise. it is the obvious duty
OF both the Government and the citizens of
Philadelphia to see it through.

cent elections proved anything. they proved
that the old-tashioned political stump ora
tion has outl!ted its usefulness. II was

This Is better than the wholesale de-.
struction Of old buildings often suggested by
people who seek remedy for what is called
the tenement problem. New York is passing
through an experience identical with that
felt In this city. Many wealthy people are
following the lead Of Miss Anne Morgan and
searching out and restoring fine old houses
that were given up many years ago to tcne-
ment dwellers. In this city the little streets
south of Walnut and west Of Broad are
feeling the stimulus Of the new mood. But
there Is no reason to believe that other
downtown areas In which thousands Of fine
old houses are virtually abandoned will not
be similarly rediscovered and restored.
