who bring shame to their race by the manipulation of unspeakable dives In
the heart of the great metropolis. In reality this playlet is g.n expose of con

and dramatic detail that It forms an enjoyable, as well as a surprising en

hovers about a certain gem in the Chinese shop, and the experiences of those
who handle the Jewel support the theory that Chinese cunning Is a difficult

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
BERRY BOXES MUST
CONTAIN MARKS
Chief Sweeney TeUs What Will
Happen If People Disregard
the New Act
| The man who sells strawberries or
any of the other luscious fruits of
| summer time in a box or other con
: tainer without the capacity being
'stamped on the outside is going to
get into trouble and there is also
I bother In store for the seller of ice
cream who disposes It by the box
unless a statement of the quantity is
printed on the side of the lid. The old
way of selling by the box or basket
or bag without the buyer knowing
the quantity is under the ban of the
law and the kid who asks for a
nickel's worth of ice cream or peanuts
is to be given as much information
as the most captious buyer in bulk.
Under the new law sales must be
made by weight or numerical count.
The old ways of doing things were
done away with by the commodities
act of 1913 and Chief James Sweeney,
of the State Bureau of Standards, says
that people had better study the law
before the cry of "strawberries" rings
through the land.
In speaking about the situation,
Mr. Sweeney said:
"The commodities act passed by
the Legislature of 1913 requires that
all dry or liquid measures used in
measuring commodities must have
the capacity thereof marked on the
outside of the measures, as it is un
lawful to use any measure unless the
same has the capacity marked there
on. The former method of selling by
the crate, box or basket is prohibited
under this act.
"In the fruit season it has been
customary to sell strawberries and
other fruit l'or so aiuch per basket.
Under the act passed by the Legisla
ture this method of selling berries or
fruit will not be permitted. If ber
ries or fruit are sold in baskets, boxes
or crates the quantity of the contents
of the baskets, boxes or crates must
be plainly and conspicuously marked
on the outside thereof. All commo
dities must be sold by weight, meas
ure or numerical count. If the berry
baskets contain one quart, that quan
tity in words or figures must be
marked on the outside of the baskets.
"The dealer who refuses to comply
with those requirements of the law
subjects himself to the penalties of tho
act. Under this act the inspector of
weights and measures is vested with
authority to enforce Its provisions.
"In selling ice cream, the boxes
which are used by dealers must have
the capacity marked on the outside.
To have those boxes marked sc, 10c,
15c or 26c per box does not comply
with the law, except they also have
the capacity marked on the outside,
as those boxes, under the law, are
considered measures.
"From the numerous inquiries
which we received at this bureau of
standards relative to the provisions
of the weight and measure law we
have deemed it advisable to explain
to the public just what we believe
the provisions of the law are as it
applies to commodities that are sold
by the box. crate or basket, and also
as to commodities that are sold in
package form. Under the law all goods
sold in package form must have the
quantity of the contents plainly and
conspicuously marked on the outside
of the package.
"The Legislature of 1913 has made
a standard of weight per bushel for
various commodities. The consumer,
when purchasing by the bushel, half
bushel, peck, half peck, quart or pint,
is entitled to receive the number of
pounds as specified in the law for tliQ
particular commodity which he pur
chases.
Young Men in York County
Notified of Draft For
Service in Mexican War
Dallastown, Pa., March 30.—Letters
received here from Harrisburg signed
by J. M. Milligan, U. S. A., in which
the writer says he was authorized by
the War Department at Washington,
notified several young men that they
have been drafted for service in the
Mexican war, and that unless they re
port within ten days or furnish S3OO
for a substitute they will be arrested,
imprisoned and be subjected to court
martial. Archibald Grim, George
Geesy and Curvin Heise, of this place,
and Ralph Price, of York, each re
ceived a notice, and it is said that
there were a number of others. The
letters caused considerable annoyance
to the young men and the members of
their families, some of whom looked
upon them as official and not as a
joke, for which they were apparently
intended. The one received by George
Geesy was turned over to Squire Bar
tenschlager to be forwarded to the
post office officials at Harrisburg for
investigation. The notices are dated
March 26, at Harrisburg, postmarked
York, and were received here on
March 27. Each bore a two-cent
stamp. None of the men seen can
imagine who Milligan is or who would
write such a letter and sign a fictitious
name. The Milligan signature is in a
bold, business hand.
To Organize First Aid
Corps at Elliott-Fisher
Some time ago a man was hurt at
the Elliott- Fisher Typewriter Works.
He lost much blood, for no one knew
how to stop It. A doctor came In tho
nick of time. This incident began
to be discussed In the work and out
of it hus sprung a suggestion for the
formation of a first-aid corps. Twenty
five men will be organized Thursday
Into the lirst such body In the Elliott-
Fisher works.
H. A. Footherap, superintendent,
will direct the class, which will take
up lirst-ald work in all Its phases.
Possibilities opening before the class
are large, but, of course, everything
is as yet tentative. The company will
bear all expenses of equipment.

FARM ADVISERS
TO START APRIL 1
Had Their Spring Conference With
Director Martin at Capitol
Yesterday
Pennsylvania's ten farm counsellors
or field advisers will begin their tours
of the State on next Wednesday, April
1, and each one has from thirty to
forty requests for immediate visits
and advice on agricultural problems,
including crops, drainage and dairy
ing. The counsellors were here Friday
for consultation with A. L. Martin, the
director of farmers' institutes with
which they are connected, and the
work for the Spring and summer was
planned. As far as possible the coun
sellors will follow a schedule made up
for them according to the 400 re
quests sent to the office of the division
by people throughout the State.
The farm counsellors were organized
last year following passage of an act
presented early in the session and over
500 farms were visited on requests
and advice given as to meeting prob
lems. The work is distinct from the
orchard supervision work by which
demonstrations of methods of spray
ing and pruning trees are now being
given throughout the State.
Warning's of the dangers of forest
fires have been sent to almost every
railroad and to many of the big manu
facturing and lumber companies of
Pennsylvania .by the State Forestry
Department In an effort to secure co
operation in a campaign to reduce tire
losses. The notices call attention to
dangers from sparks and ask that em
ployes be Instructed to prevent tires.
Most of the railroads have replied,
tendering their co-operation and spe
cial efforts to instruct men in fighting
fire will be made. In addition the
State is providing material for instruc
tion of children in fire dangers, espe
cially in rural districts.
PKKACHKS FAREWELL SERMON
Special to 7 'ie Telegraph
Marietta, Pa., March 30. —The llev.
Ira W. Klick, for seceral years pas
tor of the Zion Lutheran Church,
preached his farewell sermon last
night to a large congregation. He has
accepted a call to Berks county.
GERMS MADE HARMLESS
Rich red blood is the power that
keeps the human body in order. Every
day many germs of disease enter our
bodies but they are made harmless
and passed oft If the fighting forces
of the body are In good condition. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills build up the
blood, enable it to absorb more oxy
gen, the agent which burns up the
body poisons. In this way Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills are not only a tonic,
but a specific for the host of diseases
that come as a result of thin blood
and that can get a foot-hold only
when the tone of the body is low.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make the
blood rich and red, and strengthen
the nerves.
Try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
anemia., rheumatism, neuralgia, nerv
ousness, sciatica. Build up your blood
and note how the purer and richer
blood fights your battle against the
disease. Take Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills as a tonic If you are not in the
best physical condition and cultivate
a resistance that with the observance
of ordinary rules of health will keep
you well and strong. Get a box from
the nearest drug store and-begin this
treatment now,

to Treat Them" is free for the asking.
