Four Typhoid Cases
Laid to Infected Water
in Spring at Hershey
Drinking of water from an infected
spring near Hershey Park Is believed
to be the cause of four typhoid fever
cases now in the Harrisburg Hospital.
The patients are Margaret Fermansl.
14 years old; Elizabeth Ruch, aged 17
years, both of Hershey; Bruno Schla
vena. 20 years old. of Hunimelstown,
and Nick Olto, aged 50 years, a laborer

All four of the patients are said to
have used water out of the same spring

eign producers and their supply has
alfeady been cut off. American manu
facturers are handicapped by the fact
that the necessary dyes are not made
in this country.
Toothbrushes and hairbrushes will
soon rise sharply. The chief source
of supply of their bristles is Russia,
which is absolutely Isolated as far as
commercial communication with this
country Is concerned.
Notions, ranging from hooks and
eyes to hair nets, which are manufac
tured in immense quantities in Ger
many. are coming in no more. The
stocks here have been bought up and
on some items prices were advanced
100 per cent, yesterday.
Dress goods are quoted throughout
the country as "subject to change In
price without notice." Shirtings of
•he best qualify, used in $1.25 and
$1.50 garments, will go up 2 5 per cent,
this week. Last year about $60,000,000
worth of material for shirts was im
ported. This year home-produced ma
terials will have to be used.
Dyestuffs, which are important in
this situation, are going up steadily.
Prices jumped 100 per cent, over Sun
day and promise to keep up.
Auto Tiro Prices Jump
Automobile dealers here say that
Hamburg and Liverpool being the
principal ports in shipping crude rub
ber, rubber goods are going up. On
certain classes of automobile tires quo
tations were advanced 60 per cent,
yesterday. The stock In this country,
it was said, is only sufficient to supply
factories a fortnight.
Cigar men state that clgaret to
bacco. especially that used in Turkish
and Egyptian cigarets. Is becoming
scarce. It Is carried almost exclu
sively by Austrian ships, which have
been withdrawn. Advances In price,
however, are believed to be some dis
tance in the future. Enough Sumatra
tobacco is in stock In this country to
keep cigar manufacturers supplied for
a year, it was said yesterday. Cigar
bands, however, have gone to a pre
mium, being mostly lithographed In
Germany.
Liquor Prices Skyrocketing
Imported whiskys and liquors are
skyrocketing. Cordials went up 2 5
cents a bottle yesterday, while Scotch
whisky went up 20 cents. "Two for a
quarter" is quoted over almost no bar.
German and Bohemian beer, it proves,
Is here In greater quantity than had
been reported.
Champagnes from foreign vineyards
have gone up $6 a case since last
week.
The United States Leather Com
pany, according to local dealers yes
terday, has announced an advance of
2 cents per pound In practically all
leathers, with the prospect of a fur
ther rise. The heavy- foreign demand
for American shoeA particularly In
England, Is expecte\ to boost local
prices. *
May Be Xo Christmas Toys
Among the stores here that will
probably feel the effects of the war
more keenly than others are the toy
and novelty stores. A manager of
one of these stores said that if the
war keeps up it will be impossible to
obtain any of the mechanical toys that
fill the stores at Christmas. Tree or
naments and many Christmas novel
ties. like the toys, are made almost
exclusively In Germany. Importations
of drass fabrics will b-> greatly cut
down. It Is reported that the fore*

State dairy and food division have
caused over a score of arrests in Phil
adelphia on charges of selling "soft"
drinks contnlnlng coal tar dyes or sac

being Riven to Commissioner Foust
that the use. of adulterants will be
stopped.

passed upon.
To Make Award —The award of the
contract for distributing State docu

L. L. Kuhn, of this city. He will take
charge Saturday.

PAPER COST MAY GO VP
Philadelphia, Aug. 11. —At a meet
ing of the Philadelphia Paper Trado
Association it was unanimously agreed
to send out the following notification
to the trade:
"Many of the ra\v materials used in
the manufacture of paper are im
ported, or will be influenced by the
existing war conditions, and prices
will, therefore, be subject to fluc
tuation. It is the intention of the
trade not to raise a price unless It is
absolutely compulsory, by reason of
the price being raised at the source
of supply, but it was thought to be
no more than fair that this notice be
sent to the trade, as no one can tell at
the present time what prices will be in
the future, and pricee cannot be guar
anteed for any specified time."

National Protection
For American Policyholders Only
The National Life Insurance Co.
OF VERMONT (64 Years Old)
wishes to call attention to several good qualities, cannot mention all for
lack of space.
First—THE NATIONAL LIFE in placing insurance, con
fines its business to the healthier portions of OUR OWN
NATION, doing business in 37 States and District of
Columbia.
Second —THE NATIONAL LIFE has no speculative se
curites whatever, —not even railroad bonds.
It invests In only three classes of securities, viz:
UNITED STATES, STATE and Municipal Bonds.
MORTGAGE liOANS, First Lien —all within the United Stales,
POLICY LOANS—aII to American Policyholders.
On an investment of over $8(1,000,000.00, in the last, eleven years The
NATIONAL LIFE has not lost a dollar of principal or Interest.'
Third—l he NATIONAL LIFE will sustain no death
losses because of the European wars. (Except possible
claims arising through Americans, now traveling in
Europe, already insured in the NATIONAL LIFE.)
For above reasons insurance in the NATIONAL LIFE INSUR
ANCE COMPANY, of Vermont, gives greater security to the insured, and
will yield larger dividends to policyholders only, and therefore cost less
than insurance in any life insurance companies," doing an international
business. (TWO AND ONE-HALF MILLIONS of DOLLARS, invested
within PENNA.)

Burgess Fred Wlfffleld's traffic ordi
nance was Introduced into Steelton
Council last evening. It was sponsored
by Councilman Benjamin Capella and
on motion by him passed first reading.
The ordinance will reduce speed in
all the borough streets and give the
burgess the needed power to regulate
traffic of all kinds and to punish of
fenders. The ordinance comes before
council after a long fight against
speeding and other traffic violations,
which the burgess and police have been
powerless to check, The ordinance will
be rushed through council Just as rap-
Idly as possible.
The erection of a municipal band
stand twenty-six feet square on the
lawn at Angle alley and Front street
was finally authorized following a re
port from Chairman Stees, of the town
property committee, who has worked
out the various plans suggested to
council from time to time. Council

stand fitted with a motion picture
screen and projector receivod favor

will be furnished by tho State. The pic

Railways Company to place Its tracks

On the return, the husband learned
that the wife had secured a divorce
and was now living with Speridion

leges that Fursich alienated the af

Shell.ve were absent.
Claude E. Biinzer, representing the
property owners along the old Pennsyl
vania canal, was given the privilege of
the floor. He said: "I came here to
ask council two things: Whether you
will give us relief and whether you
will amicably settle damages arising
from the eanal. I want to tell you
now that action against the borough
will he taken, both as to relief and
damages. During the past six weeks
we have at six separate times had from
12 to 28 inches of water in our cellars.
During the past five years we have ap
pealed repeatedly to oouncil without
avail."
"But we have plans under considera
tion for your relief," ventured Chair
man Henderson, of the highway com
mittee, in defense.
"Yes, For Thirty Yenm!"
"Yes, you have had for thirty years,"
shot back Brinzer as he unfolded a
pack of photographs showing the ex
eccrable conditions along the canal,
"but, as you can see, conditions are
worse than they have ever been."
Councilman looked at the photo
graphs, then handed them back. Brln
z«r slipped away before anything more
was said. For a few seconds council
looked amazed, then there was a sigh
of relief as President Reynders
snapped "Any other business?"
An appropriation of $1,546.60 was
made to the Board of Health to pay for
two cases of smallpox. The finance
committee was given the usual power
to make temporary loans. Mark Mum
ma's request for a new grade in Read
ing street was referred to the highway
committee and borough engineer.
The monthly report of the United
States Steel Corporation, showing the
unfilled orders on the books of the
company at the end of July last, shows
Increased activity in the steel Industry.
The report of July's business shows
