CITY SHOWS HEALTHY GROWTH IN HOMES Harrisburg Third Highest City in United States For 1915 Realty Operations NO MERE BUILDING BOOM Outlying Districts Being Built Up Along Progressive Lines With a total of $316,025 In building operations commenced during May, Harrisburg has won the distinction of being the third highest city in the United States so far as percentage of increased building operations this year over 1914 is concerned, according to figures compiled by the American Builder, a real estate journal. Men prominent in the real estate and building activities of the city as sert that this places Harrisburg in the front rank of American cities in the matter of rapid growth and improving housing conditions. This phenomenal growth, it is declared, is due in a large measure to the recent acquisition of new industries and distribution sta tions by the city and the razing of many, houses in the Capitol Park ex tension and new Pennsylvania railroad freight station districts. That these figures do not Indicate merely a spasmodic building "boom" but rather the steady increasing growth of a live and progressive city, is the belief of real estate men and contractors. In support of this contention they point out the healthy growth of sev eral of the city's outlying districts along progressive and systematic lines. Modern Housing One of the sections of the city that has been developed along lines that incorporate the latest ideas in modern housing is that district bounded by and including Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Briggs and Park streets. In this section, one of the most beautiful in the city, about 125 mod ern homes have been built within the past few years. Practically all these are of stone, brick and stucco con struction with tile roofs and embody all the latest ideas in home making. The architecture is planned after the buildings in the famous Sage Founda tion. in New York. The houses are of various types, so that a monotonous appearance is prevented. Ample and perpetual building operations insure an ideal residential district. Through this district the seventeen mile boulevard that will encircle the city as part of the park system, will pass. It also lies close to the Twelfth street playground where there are am ple facilities for the amusement of the [Continued on Page 2.] YOU BEHAVE MONDAY TOO.

I CITY HEALTH OFFICER TELLS HOW TO PASTEURI TO GUARD AGAINST TYPHOID OWIXG to the prevalence of typhoid fever in the city and surround ing towns. Dr. J. M. J. Raunick. city health officer in his latest bul letin emphasizes the importance of pasteurizing milk and tells how to do it. The bulletin follows: Pasteurized milk simply means heated milk. In household.terms it means par-boiled or scalded. It is not necessary to boil milk to pasteurize it. After the milk is heated it is essential that the milk be rapidly fooled and kept cool. The milk should be heated to 145 degrees Fahrenheit for one-half hour. Unless you have n thermometer, allow your milk to come to a boil to be sure that the harmful germs are killed. The one and only object of pasteurized milk is that it destroys the harmful bacteria. While pasteurized milk contains bacteria, their presence is harm less as far as health is concerned. Pasteurizing neither improves nor harms the milk itself. Poor milk is not any better because it is pasteurized. Pasteurization is a public health safeguard. It corresponds to the filtration or purification of water. Pasteurized milk must be handled as carefully as raw milk. All milk should be kept covered, cold and clean. The easiest way to pasteurize milk is to heat it in a double boiler, such as a rice boiler for one-half hour and cool it rapidly. Pasteurized milk is just as digestible and nutritious as raw milk. All milk that cannot be certified to as clean, fresh and safe, should be pasteurized. Pasteurize all milk, whether your milkman tells you it Is pasteurized or not. Sometimes milkmen do not. Pasteurize carefully. t Run no risks.
