Mr. Dunn said that next neck In the

for such a board, consisting of the

His proposal closely follows the veto
ing by Governor Sprout of a mil in
creasing from $3000 to J5000 thn salary
of William H. Krelder, secretary of the
Civil Ken ice Commission.
Representative Dunn said that every
two years scores of bills ale Intioduced
In the Legislature providing for salary
Increases for Philadelphia ofilclals. Nino
out of every ten of these bills, he added,
serve no purpose except to increase tho
state's printing bill. It Is his opinion
that If such ii bill as he will propose Is
enacted, a gieat deal of expense will be
saved and the hoard will be able to de
cide the merits of requests for salary

upon the Legislature.
Mr. Dunn also proposes to Introduce a

Parents of Fighters Killed

When the welcome boats go down the
Delaware River In May to greet tho re
turning heroes of Pennsylvania's Iron
Division, tho Twenty-eighth, one of them
will carry a quiet little mother of a
soldier as a passenger.
She will not greet her boy from the
deck of the craft, nor will he enthusi
astically call "mother" from the rait
of the transport.
Some other soldier, In fact, all other
soldiers, on the big vessel wilt receive
her welcome, but Sergeant John P. Mar
tin, of Company A. 109th Infantry, will
not be among them, Sergeant Martin
went over the top on October 8 anil
gave his life for his country. -
His mother, Mrs. Mary Martin, of 78
North Thirty-seventh street, applied to
the welcome home committee headquar
ters In the Liberty Building for trans
portation today.
"I don't know whether I have the
right to ask for a place on the boat
and a seat In the grandstand," she told
MVs. W. L. Mahn, who has charge of
compiling the lists of mothers to be
accommodated.
"I haven't a boy," she added sadly,
"he was killed In action In France."
Mrs. Mann assured her that she was
entitled to the greatest consideration.
She Bpoke to the officials about It, for
Mre. Martin Is tho first mother who gave
her boy to her country to ask to greet
tho returning heroes.
It was decided that she was entitled
to special consideration and Mrs, Martin
was offered a special place with a special
escort In honor of her patriotic desire.
"I don't want any special considera
tion," she replied. "I only want to greet
the comrades of my boy, and one seat In
the grandstand and one placo, on the
boat are all that I desire."
The request will bo granted her. .

DEAR FOLKS:
THIS i8 a moat important
week' in the history of
Wilson & Co. Everybody
in tho whole organization is en
thusiastic, "up on his toes" and
proud.
This is the week that Wilson &
Co. announce that they are pro
ducing CertiflcdHamandBacon.
All over the country the dealers
are putting up window signs
telling the news. Incidentally,
I am coming to believe that the
dealers who handle Wilson prod
ucts are imbued with the same
pride and confidence in the Wil
son institution as are the 25,000
workers in the various plants
and branches.
All these Wilson & Co. men and
women are pleased as pleased
can be this week because they
have known for a long time that
the company would put Certified
Ham and Bacon on the market
at this time. They have known
of the care and skill and exact
ness with which these products
were being perfected to deserve
the Wilson Certified label. That
"Certified" label is the ne plus
ultra for any Wilson product.
When it is placed on something
it means that that particular
food product is just as fine as it
can be made, as pure as purity
itself and as good as anything
ever can be good to eat.
The name and fame of Wilson
& Co. Certified products has
grown up in the past two years.
It started when the company
brought out its line of canned
fruits, vegetables and table spec
ialties, giving them the name
"Certified" and placing upon
them a guarantee that the user
would find them of the highest
possible quality.
In their smoked meats "Majes
tic" was the label of their top
notch quality. Majestic Ham
and Bacon were, and are, mighty
well known and liked. Mr. Wil
son saw the great popularity
won by the "Certified" fruits
and vegetables, and he said:
"We must have Certified Ham
and Bacon. Can we make them
good enough to deserve the
Certified label?"
"We can and we will," was the
prompt answer.
So there is a bit of history. It
wasn't merelv a Question of cur
ing and smoking ham and bacon
of the most excellent quality.
It was a matter of knowing at
every step along the line that
this ham and bacon was going
to be good enough to be honored
with the name of "Certified."
This means selecting the porkers
themselves. They have to be porkers
of excellent breeds, they have to be
in the pink of condition, they have
to show to the practiced eyes of the
experts who select them that the
quality is there. I have watched the
production of Certified Ham and
Bacon watched the careful, skillful
choosing of those hams and bacon
sides. I have seen how precisely a
ham is chosen, how exactly a bacon
side is selected. There must be just
such a proportion of fat and lean, the
skin must be smooth, the ham or
bacon must be visibly perfect. Then
it is carefully trimmed and sent on
through the' curing and smoking de
partments. Nothing is hurried, for
the men who have charge of this
work tell me that hasty curing and
smoking do not create the Bwect,
appetizing fiavfir and the hunger
satisfying taste that must character
ize a fine piece of ham or bacon.
All the way through I noticed that
these meats as, indeed, are al! other
Wilson products were handled and
prepared with RESPECT. "Re
spect" is a fixed principle in the Wil-
. nlonf nnrl when VOU COnlG to
think of it, it is a pretty good idea
to be respectful to foods. Theyde
