If You Could- -
V .
Separate the most nutritious part of the kernels of choicest white corn—
If you could cook this carefully selected part just as we cook it—
If you could cure, sweeten and salt it to get the same delicious, delicate
flavor that we get —
If you could roll each separate bit, thin and ribbony, under 40 tons pressure—
If you could pass the flaky bits in at the top of a great oven 30 feet high,
through which they would slowly move to the bottom and come out toasted to a
golden-brown—and all this, without being touched by hand—
Then 'most anyone could make his own
Post Toasties
But the best part is, you don't have to go to all that bother and care. It is all
done for you!
Anywhere in America, ten or fifteen cents (according to size) will buy a
large, tightly sealed packed of this dainty food—
Sweet and crisp, fresh from the factory, and ready to eat with cream, imme
diately the package is opened.

liownuin resolution reducing prices
of water meters and bids for water
pipe approved.
After half an hour's discussion City
Council this afternoon voted unani
mously to reject all the bids for Har
risburg's first motor fire apparatus and
authorized Commissioner Taylor to re
advertise. <■
Several weeks ago Mr. Taylor sub
mitted the bids to Council, including
the special offer of the American
La France Fire Engine Company to
sell the city two combination motor
chemicals for SIO,OOO. He recom
mended the acceptance of the special
offer, but Council postponed action
until to-day.
Commissioners Bowman and Lynch
to-day raised the question of whether
the bid for two chemicals and not a
chemical and tractor could be ac
cepted, Whether the slight changes In
the equipment suggested by the special
offer could not be construed by other
bidders as a change of specltlcations,
and whether the style of car offered
would be acceptable.
Mr. Taylor said he recommended the
American La France after having
closely studied all other makes and
because he considered that firm the
most reliable. He only meant to rec
ommend what would be best, in his
opinion, for the city, and said he did
not care who got the contract.
Favor Morton Company
The only local bidder was the Mor
ton Motor Truck Company. This firm,
it is understood, was favored by
Messrs. Lynch and Bowman because it
is a home concern. The Mayor finally
suggested that all bids be rejected
and that the readvertisement be di
rected. Council agreed unanimously.
The expected row on the appoint
ment of a successor to Clifford A. Pal
mer as a patrolman didn't materialize.
Both Herman Kautz and John Benner
were suggested as possible candidates.
Immediately after the fire bid question
had been disposed of Mayor Roval
asked:
"Gentlemen, I should like to call
your attention to the fact that there is
a vacancy on the police force. What
do you propose to do about it?"
He waited a moment and then smil
ingly asked: "Or haven't you de
cided?"
And when the other Councllmen
still retained their silence, he went
on:
"Evidently you haven't!"
"Well, Mr. Chairman," suggested
Mr. Gorgas, "I move we adjourn."
At 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon
Commissioner Bowman, Building In
spector Grove and City Solicitor Seltz
will confer on the question of James
C. Costello's demand that the porches
on three brick houses fronting on the
west side of Crescent street south of
Swatara be removed to the building
line, in accordance with the building
regulations.

DELAY IN MEDIATION
IS AGAIN LOOKED FOR
IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES
Rebel Followers Not Surprised at
Mediators Decision to Bar
Constitutionalists
By Associated rress
Washington, Juno 16. —Temporary
suspension of formal conferences at
Niagara Falls among the mediators
and the American and Huerta dele
gates during the absence of the Ar
gentine minister, gave President Wil
son and Secretary Bryan to-day addi
tional time for consideration of men
to be suggested for the provisional
presidency In Mexico. Government
officials were said to have experienced
some difficulty in getting names of
eligibles through Constitutionalist
agents in Washington.
Secretary Bryan was still hopeful
to-day of the ultimate success of me
diation despite the developments at
the Niagara conference. When he
j went to the cabinet meeting the Sec
retary of State said he still believed
the situation would so shape itself
| that the Constitutionalists would par
ticipate in the mediation proceedings
Jn some form.
[ Heads of the Constitutionalists
• agency here said they had no new
; advices from General Carranza but
j did not profess surprise at the action
: of the mediators in insisting upon an
armistice and the inclusion of the
internal problems of Mexico in the
scope of mediation before receiving
the Constitutionalists delegates.
The general opinion in official ci.
cles was that mediation was again
confronted with a period of delay and
uncertainty, but that another step
! would be worked out soon.
Brigadier General Funston reported
to the War Department to-day that
the food supply of Vera Cruz was not
in great danger, although some prices
were high.
"For extraordinary heroism in bat
tle," Admiral Fletcher has recom
mended E. A. Gisbourne, third class,
for medal of honor and a gratuity of
