Official Advice Theane For Dis cussion Relative to Possible Price Advance City Sealer Harry D. Reel has been Invited by Mrs. William Henderson, president of the Civic club, to discuss Harrisburg's bread problem at the monthly meeting of the organization January 16. "Insist upon having your bretul weighed and then buy the heaviest loaf!" That little solgan which the sealer himself coined in his advice to house keepers and others who do the fam ily buying, will be the theme of his talk before the city's progressive or ganisation of women. City Sealer Heel's "advice" to the people via the Telegraph last evening aroused ail kinds of favorable com ment and the campaign which the head of the bureau of weights and measures has adopted to forestall any defense to support the talked-of raise In price or reduction of per loaf early in the new year, was wide ly commended. "Weigh Your Broad" That the Civic club proposes to in terest itself in the "weigh your bread" movement was explained to-day by Mrs. Henderson. "For more than an hour I talked this matter over with Mr. Reel and as president of the Civic club I Invited htm to speak at the next meeting of the club. Janu ary 15." said she. "The matter will he taken up officially by the board of directors at its meeting January 8. The only thing I'm sorry for is that Mr. Reel cannot give us the talk be fore the first of the year. "To my mind this is surely a mat ter upon which the people should be fully advised. Public sentiment, I've always thought, can do a great deal when once aroused. Their "Money's Worth" " "Weigh the bread before you pur chase and then purchase the heaviest loaf is Mr. Reel's advico. That is the surest way to bring about a solution of this problem. People wouldn't ob ject to paying six cents for a loaf of bread If they were getting a Joaf that weighs sixteen ounces. I doubt if anyone would object to the price if one got his money's worth. "I have asked Mr. Reel to talk to lis on the subject and If possible I'd like to have Mr. Sweeney, the chief of the State bureau, and Mr. Bover. the county sealer there, too. "Personally I'm tremendous!} 1 in terested In this matter and I intend to do all I can to advance this move ment to 'weigh your bread before you purchase and then purchase the heaviest loaf" " Three Killed When Russ Steamer Bound For N.

England May Take Over Drink Trade to Raise More Finances London. Dec. 29. The purchase of j 'he drink trade In Great Britain by th* j State is believed to be Imminent, says I the Daily Express to-day. "The matter has been closely con- ' sidered by the liquor control board i | during the last fortnight." continues | the newspaper. "Several members of i ] the board have long advocated the \ j purchase, and the chance In the gov ! ernment has brought a renewal of j their arguments." The Express quotes Sir Thomas I | Whittaker. member of Parliament, as, ; saying that David Lloyd George, the I . prime minister, is known to favor the i I step, while several of the Unionist ' members are understood to agree with i | him. Sir Thomas says he believes a 1 | bill calling for the purchase would 1 ] pass thp House of Commons without i ; difficulty. Sir Thomas Whlttaker was chair ; man of the committee which advo cated purchase In 1915 when the cost 1 i of the plan was estimated at between ' 250.000,000 and 300,000.000 pounds ' . sterling.

It Is known from other sources that ; i the liquor question has lately become 1 an urgent one for the government in consequence of the renewed com plaints of the hindrance of munition work and other Industries due to ex cessive drinking, also due to the fact ' that much freightage and vast quan tities of food material are absorbed In the liquor Industry. Memorials from such centers as Birmingham, Liver pool. Manchester and Glasgow have ' now reached the government warning of delays In munition, shipbuilding and similar Industries and urging the total prohibition. It may he recalled that Premier I-lovd Gforjr iirnd the nationalization of the drink trade In the spring of 1915. hut failed to achieve the success of the scheme. At that time the plan wan regarded as impracticable, but since then it has been strongly advo cated. and the demand is being con tinued by a section of the press.
