In fighting tho lnfanttlo paralysis epidemic
in this city.
The request It woj said, would be for not
more than $75,000 and not less than $70,

plague have been unusually heavy and
money which now Is being spent by the

needed virtually to put the Dopartmont on

In asking Councils for the appropriation.
It will be explained that tho expenses of
the Department have been largely Increased
owing to'the cost of operating tho Philadel

pecially while tho epidemic was at Its
height. ' In avcrago years, during the
month of August, not more than 100
patients are treated there. In August of

SAUERKRAUT FAMINE THREATENED,
WJJTH FARMER IN ROLE OF VILLAIN
.Weather Man Shares Responsibility for Prospective
Shortage of Delectable Dish, in Opinion of Many,
but Small Cabbage Acreage the Real Cause
And now we're liable to have a Bauer
kraut famine.
No one knows who Is to blame. Some say
It's the farmers. Others contend that the
weatherman Is at fault There Is a pos
sibility that the responsibility will revert to
Washington.
Getting down to hard facts, "cabbage
Is few and far between," said the farmer,
and as Its the parent body of the kraut,
hence the scarcity.
It may as well be realized now that
sauer kraut will not pose as the chief
attraction with faithful frankfurters by its
Ids at any free lunches.
Up to the present time very few heads
ef cabbage have been lured to Philadelphia,
and It doesn't require any cabbage phre
nologist to see that they are decidedly
anemia, stingy and disagreeable looking
It will require- very artlstlo sauer kraut
sculptors to get any thing out of them.
In those happy days, away back In 1914,
kraut could be gathered up for eight and
ten cents a quart, according to Its com
plexion and figure, but now well, provision
dealers say any one will be lucky to get It
retail for sixteen cents a quart
This will entail bard work for cooks and
Walters, for It Is possible that orders will
I .
be doled out by strings Instead of spoon
fuls. There Is also a possibility of counterfeit
kraut getting on the market One can
readily see how silts of yellow cambric and
white tape or muslin could be mixed in with
an order to give It volume.
Dut as the Board of Health Is on the
job, there Is hope.
According to the statistician of the State
Department of Agriculture, who is abso
lutely neutral In the matter, the price will
surely rise.
The farmers planted more grain than
they did cabbage, he says. That seems
place the blame rather definitely.

"rLECTRICITY certainly does make a dif
jrVj ference," remarked Mrs. Happy Home
maker. "I'd heard and read so much about the
cleanliness, the economy, the push-button-convenience
and the hygienic advantages of Electric
Light, but I didn't realize until I actually used it
what a boon Electricity is to'the houselceeper."
"I know that when I go away from home," continued Mrs. Ha.ppy
Homemaker, " I wouldn't think of staying at a hotel which did
not have Electric Light: and why shouldn't I have the same com
fort in my own.home?"
"The family has certainly welcomed the change. At first we were
a bit afraid that the wiring might cause a Tot of dirt and con
fusion, but it was surprising to sec how orderly and deftly the
electricians worked, and with what astounding ease they fished
the wires through from floor to floor with never a mar or scratch
on walls, woodwork or ceiling.""
"Our house was connected to the Company's lines yesterday, and
last night we went.over the house, room by room, turning on the
lights as we went, marvelling at the magic of the push-button
and congratulating, ourselves that our home was properly and
economically lighted I"
