V V The only promlMe I will mnke Im, yr If nomlnat«»d ami eleeted I will nerve the city to the bent of my ability. To the Citizens of Harrisburg, Pa As a candidate for City Council, under the commission form of gov ernment, I wish to make a statement to the people whose vote and sup port I am asking. I believe It is necessary for a Councilman to devote all his time to the duties of his position and, if nominated and elected, I promise to do this. I promise to give to the city that same honest, conscientious, industrious service that I would give to my own business. I also promise to make every effort to secure for the city a Municipal Ice Plant that will furnish ice to ALiL the people, as near as possible to cost as is consistent with a business con duct of the plant. In the statement printed below I will endeavor to show the cost of building a plant and the ex pense of running it, and leave to you the decision as to whether the city cannot furnish ice at one-third the price it is now fur nished by private parties, mak ing a profit that will go into the city treasury and help reduce the now heavy and burdensome taxes. Our Water Department is very profitable, and with an ice plant located on the island, adjacent to the filter plant, on land now owned by the city, su perintended by the same chief engineer and operated by steam taken from boilers in the pump ing plant, ice could be made and sold at a very low price. The figures given here were fur nished by the best manufactur ers and concerns in the various lines and show the exact cost of the various items. The estimate is for a plant of the latest improved type, 100 tons capacity every 24 hours, and shows the actual cost of ice to be sl.36'per ton delivered at the homes of the customers. Ice is now selling in Harrisburg at from six to twelve dollars per ton. This same ice can be made and sold, delivered to customers by the municipal ice plant, at a fair profit to the city at 25 pounds for .> cents (four dollars a ton). Ample provision has been made to store the surplus ice made during the winter months and the plant can be run every day in the year.

Primaries Sept. 21, 1915 HAKRISBURG tfißh TELEGRJLPH STATE PROTECTS FEEDS OF CATTLE Good Work Done by the Depart ment of Agriculture in Supervi sion of Many Brandt Details of the manner in which the State is protecting the cattle feeds sold within Pennsylvania from frauds is shown by the report Just made to Secretary of Agriculture N. B. Critch field by James W. Kellogg, chief chem ist of the department. Pennsylvania is leading the States in this work and the frauas which were so extensive a few years ago are being gradually driven out. It is estimated that 600,000 tons of feeding stuffs are being sold in the State every year. To check up on this Immense quantity the agents of the department, who are under George G. Hutchison, collected 1,300 samples in 327 cities and boroughs in 61 coun ties during 1914. In addition 236 special samples were analyzed for citi zens unde.r the fee system. All of the analyses were for a carefully pre pared method of determining values. Peanut hulls, weed seeds and exces sive amounts of oat hulls were found, while some guarantees were discov ered to be worthless. Arrests were made in these cases. However, the report states, "the number of de ficiencies was less than ever before noted, which shows more care in guar anteeing and labeling." There is room for improvement In some of the so called molasses feeds, some o{ the Steds not having been carefully cleaned. The poultry feeds were also discovered not to have been as clean as possible, although they showed an improvement. Of the 1,300 samples 1,220 sam ples were found with guaranteed analyses, a larger proportion guaran teed than before. The number of deficiencies ran small and In some cases the guarantees were exceeded. TRAVELETTE By NIKSAH GALVESTON Galveston, Texas, that city at the gates of which the waves pound cease lessly, found Itself anchored half way down the crescent of the Gulf of Mexico because an arm of the sea there ran in and offered anchorage whatever ships were seeking a hi..en. The settlement was planted on an Island for there Jean Lafltte, one of the most notorious pirates who ever terrorized the Spanish Main, made his headquarters a hundred years ago, Americans came to the island vil lage which took its name from one Galvez, early Spanish Governor of Louisiana, during the existence of the Republic of Texas and the town was granted its charter by that govern ment In 184 9. The village set Its roots In the sand and grew steadily until of late years It has now and again claimed honors for the value of its ex ports that have been second only to New York despite the fact that it has but 40,000 population. In the year 1900 Galveston pre sented the appearance of being a busy commercial city down by the water front which spread with ever dimin ishing show of energy back into the sand stretches and went to sleep half way up the Island. Its four-story business houses shaded Into wfde-ve randaed dwellings with magnolias blooming in their yards and these gave place to the shacks of fisher folk further down the beach. Then came the great storm when a hurricane out of the Caribbean beat for eighteen hours, always piling wa ter higher and higher until the city was afloat and 5,000 of its people were drowned. It was a calamity against the recurrence of which the town must provide if it was to remain the dwelling place of its former popu lation. Galveston became the heroic city of America. Its citizens Inaugurated a commission form of government that its affairs might be handled with energy and expedition. It bonded it self for more than $2,000,000 that a breakwater might be built arourjd its front to keep out the sea. Seventeen feet high the wall of concrete rose, skirting the whole water front. Back of It a whole city was lifted upon stilts and mud was pumped In from the sea bottom and the level of half the city was raised from two to fif teen feet. When another great storm came the other day Galveston pursued its way in security for the sea wall hurled the breakers that sought to de vour it back upon themselves and stood its ground unscathed. HOW 1.200 BOYS ADDED 820,000,000 TO THE WEALTH OF OHIO In the September American Maga zine Stanley Johnson begins a series of articles entitled, "Youth Leads the Way," in which he will report many new and wonderful facts about the developments in agriculture recently made in this country by boys and gills, A suggestion of the tremen dous contribution made by the youth of America is to be found in the fol lowing brief extract taken from Mr Johnson's article: Twelve hundred boys In the sum mer of 1914 added $20,000,000 to the productive wealth of the State of Ohio This was their response to the call for help. They were the corn club boys of the Buckeye State They raised the average yield of corn per acre from 36 bushels to 81, a train of $20,000,000 a year to the State," savs A. P. Sandles, president of the Ohio Agricultural Commission. I have chosen this instance because It illustrates the need of help the awakening, and the way the people of Ohio showed their appreciation The businessmen of the State went deep into their pockets and sent the entire twelve hundred boys to Washington to New York City, and later gave them a trip to the big Panama show at San HAIR AND SCALP NEED DAILY CARE Beautiful Hair is Within the Reach of All If you value the appearance of your hair you should treat, your scalp a3 often and well as you brush your teeth and rub into the scalp pores twice daily a little Parisian Sage. This treatment is not a mere "hair tonic " It is bottled nourishment for the hair roots and It is simply wonderful what an improvement its use for even a week will make in the appearance of anyone's hair. It never injures, is de lightfully cool and pleasant to the scalp and takes out the dull, lifeless look in the hair, making: it soft, fluffv glossy and beautiful. Two or three applications remove every trace of dandruff, and dally use will prevent Its return. H. C.

Young Arnett Rose, of Lima, won the honor of being the Roy Champion Corn Grower of Ohio, two years in succession, raising 131 bushels on an acre In 1913, and 153 bushels in 1914. nut the Ohio people understood that it was the entire twelve hundred boys who deserved their gratltufle. "There was a real need for this help. The corn crop of Ohio diminished 28,- 000,000 bushels between 1912 and 1913. That Is a very grave loss. Ohio's greater population still lives in the country—and her rural population embraces one-twentieth of that of the Republic. "But Ohio is not alone in this eco nomic affllcation: It is nation-wide. And the Young Generation, between the ages of ten and eighteen, in an all-over-the-nation, splendidly-organ ized club movement, under the direc tion of the United States Department of Agriculture, is going to pull the country up and out of Its dilemma." THE RIGHT AND WRONG WAY OP GOIXG HUNGRY Experiments have shown that ani mals which demand a mixed diet will starve as surely and almost as quickly when fed on a one-sided diet, even though it be large in bulk, as when deprived of food altogether, and the same thing holds true for men. Hun ger of a modorpte degree is not pre judicial to strength ar i vigor, pro vided it be what might be termed a general hunger: the thing to be care fully guarded against on a hard march Is the tremendous hunger for some particular food content, such as sweet or fat or starch which we so often find In the case of a carelessly equipped expedition.
