BALDWIN'S TO BUILD
MORTON TRACTORS?
If Tests of Completed Tractor
Work Out, Philadelphia Firm
Will Build 360
ARE POORLY EQUIPPED HERE
Samuel S. Morton Spends Day in
Philadelphia With Russian
Representative
Upon the result of tests of a tractor
recently made by the Baldwin Loco
motive Works In accordance with the
plans and specifications of the Morton
Truck and Tractor company, it is un
derstood will depend the subletting
of the contract for the 360 machines,
recently Riven the local company by
the Russian Government.
Tests of the tractor it is said, were
started at Philadelphia yesterday in
the presence of Russian Government
representatives. It is not known as
yet whether they were satisfactory or
not.
While nothing definite has been
given out by the Morton company,
it is believed the firm wijl place the
bulk of its war orders, aggregating
several millions of dollars with the
Baldwin L<ocomotive works as the
local plant is not sufficiently equipped
to turn them out in the time de
manded by the countries at war.
Samuel S. Morton, mechanical en
gineer, spent yesterday and to-day in
Philadelphia, watching the tests. He
also supervised the assembling of the
first tractor by the Baldwin company.

the unique steering apparatus which
makes the rear wheels of the machine
follow in the tracks of the front, taken
out by the Mortons.

HARRISBURG, PA., SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 19, 1015.
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

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. ' '

The Italian invasion of Austria,
which is being pushed all along the
frontier, is .said by newspapers of
Home to have resulted thus far In the
occupation of more than twice as much
territory a> was offered by Austria as
the price of Italy's neutrality. A com -
niunication from the Italian general
staff states tlint the Austrian fortress
of Malliorgcth Is being demolished.
Malborgeth is alKmt twenty miles from
Villach. This city, Trent and Triest
constitute the three present objective
points of the Italians.
Along the Isonzo front the battle on
which hinges the fate of Triest Is as
suming larger proportions. Austria has
sent in reinforcements of her finest
troops. A raid by Italian seaplane*
and dirigibles inflicted considerable
damage on Austrian fortifications and
railway stations on the Isouzo front.
In Galicia the Russians are making
a determined stand to hold l.cniberg,
the capital, from the onrushing Aus
tro-German armies. It is admitted in
Petrograd that the Russians have re
tired beyond the line of lakes near
Grodek, sixteen miles west of the city.
A German corrcs|M>ndcnt. however,
