Saves Eggs
Royal Baking Powder makes it possible to pro
duce appetizing and wholesome cakes, muffins,
cornbread, etc., with fewer eggs than are usually
required.
In many recipes the number of eggs may be re
duced and excellent results obtained by adding
an additional quantity of Royal Baking Powder,
about a teaspoon, for each egg The
following tested recipe is a practical illustration:
qPONGE CAKE
1 cap sugar DIRECTIONS:—BoII sugar and water
until syrup spins a thread and add to the
cup water ttiffly beatsn whites of eggs, bsatlng until
S sggs the mixture Is cold. Silt together thrss
2 tesspoons Royal Baking Powder times ths flour, salt and baking powder;

1 tssspoon sslt alternately to whits of egg mixture, stlr-
M cup cold watsr ring after each addition. Add Hi cup cold

The old method called for 6 eggs

COUNCIL TO ACT
ON ASH SURVEY
AND COLLECTIONS
City Should Do Work, Gross
Says; Removal of Garbage
Plant May Result
Council will be asked in the near
future to act on the proposed sur
vey of ash and garbage collections,
and later to pass on the question of
municipal collections. City Commis
sioner E. Z. Gross said to-day.
Communications, have been receiv
ed from engineers residing outside the
city, asking for information concern
ing the proposed survey. Yesterday
Commissioner Gross was authorized to
communicate with Farley Gannett,
consulting engineer, to get an esti
mate on the cost of the investigation,
together with recommendations for
disposal of refuse.
May Remove Plant
Removal of the present Pennsylva
nia Reduction Company plant, near
Wildwood park, above Cameron and
Jiaclay streets; erection of a city in
cineration plant to burn all garbage:
auto truck collection of ashes, gar
bage and all other refuse; early morn
ing collections; strict enforcement
of present laws as to size of recepta
cles, separation of paper, tin cans and
other wastes, are only a few of the
SYRUP OF FIGS
FOR CROSS, SICK
FEVERISH CHILD
Look, Mother! Is tongue coated,
breath hot and
stomach sour?
Harmless "fruit laxative" best to
clean tender liver
and bowels.
Mothers can rest, easy after giving
"California Syrup of Figs," because in
a few hours all the clogged-up waste,
sour bile and fermenting food gently
moves out of the bowels, and you have
;i well, playful child again. Children
simply will not take the time from
play to empty their bowels, and they
become tightly liver gets slug
gish and stomach disoruered.
When cross, feverish, restless, see if
tongue is coated, then give this delic
ious "fruit laxative." Children love it,
artd it can not cause injury. No dif
ference what ails your little one if
full of cold, or a sore throat,
diarrhoea, stomach-ache, bad breath,
remember, a gentle "inside cleansing"
should always be the first treatment
given. Full directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
are printed on each bottle.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a 60-cent bot
tle of "California Syrup of Figs," then
look carefully and see that it is made
by the "California Fig Syrup Com
pany." We make no smaller size.
Hand back with contempt any other
fig syrup.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
questions to be taken up In connection
with municipal operation of the work.
"If municipal collections are ap
proved, the city should be prepared
next February to take over all the
work. The present contract with the
Pennsylvania Reduction Company ex
pires then, and our experience has
shown that about the only solution to
the question will be to have the city
take charge.
"This will mean elimination of the
present plant, which is admitted a
nuisance, at least during the summer.
Erection of an incineration plant will
do away with this.
Survey Is Needed
"Although we have received no ap
proximate estimate, I do not believe
the cost of municipal collections will
be so much greater than by private
contract for the work. While I be
lieve the present company is losing
money because of the increasing cost
of operation, that is no reason why
thousands of people all over the city
should suffer.
"By careful study of our needs it
should not be a difficult matter to
arrange short routes for the men.
provide auto trucks, and have general
satisfaction with no mid-winter tie
ups like the one just experienced.
"A survey will be needed, however,
to tell which system will be best.
When the city. If it is finally agreed I
to. takes over the collection work \
there must be no further trouble be- j
cause of Ignorance of conditions and I
how to meet them," Commissioner"*
Gross concluded.
TO CONFER ON INSURANCE
City Commissioners will Confer
probably to-morrow or Friday after
noon with City Solicitor John E. Fox
on awarding the contract for work
men's compensation insurance. Al
though a number of similar confer
ences have been held, Council cannot
agree on whether the State insur
ance Fund or a stock company should
be given the contract.

LABOR CAMP PLAN
IS DISCUSSED
j Prominent Contractors and
i Railroad Men Meet Willi the
State Board Today
Representatives of railroad anil con
struction companies maintaining tern- |
porary camps for the housing of la
borers, are to-day attending a hear
ing conducted by the State Industrial
Board in the Engineers' Club, for the
j purpose of prescribing minimum
standards of sanitation for all such
j labor camps and accommodations and j
temporary quarters.
j This action is being taken by the j
| industrial board under the act of as- |
sembly of June 7, 1915, providing that l
| such camps be inspected at the di
| rection of the Commissioner of Labor
j and Industry. The inspections are
j made through the Bureau of Employ
ment of the Department of Labor and
I Industry.
j Commissioner John Price Jackson,
chairman of the board, announced last
night that the board had ruled that
employers must supply approved
safety goggles or helmets to all em
ployes engaged in specified operations
I and that employes must Wear the gog
! gles or helmets while engaged in any
l of these operations. The penalty for
violation of the ruling, by either em
ployer or employe, constitutes a mls
ineanor punishable by fine of not more
than one hundred dollars or imprison
ment of not more than one month, or
both.
j This action was taken by the indus
trial board following reports that dur
ing single months in 1916 accident re
ports of more than two thousand eye
injuries had been received by work
ers, many of which caused a partial or
total blindness. These rulings are pre- 1
liminary to a safety code on eye pro- |
tection for all industrial operations to
be formulated immediately by the in
dustrial board. The members of the
board participating in to-day's action
were Chairman John Price Jackson,
Mrs. Samuel Semple, Otto T. Mallery,
William Young and Dr. A. L. Garver.
Whether minors under eighteen may
bo employed in wholesale liquor es
tablishments is a question that will
be considered by the board at to. pub
lic hearing to be held at Pittsburgh at
a date not determined. The child
labor act of 1915 prohibits employ
ment of minors in retail liquor estab
lishments and further specifies that
minors under eighteen may not be
employed in any other occupation in
jurious to health or morals as such
occupations shall, from time to time,
after public hearing, be determined by
the industrial board of the Depart
ment of Labor and Industry.
A ruling was also made that no boil
ers shall be admitted into Pennsylva
nia after January 1, 1918, which do
not conform to the Pennsylvania boil
er code. This time limit was allowed
to admit boilers contracted for prior
to June 1, 1916, and will not permit
the shipment of second-hand boilers
into this State.

Company were continued to-day by

That was the foreword on the pro
gram of the annual Ladies' Night of
the Harrisburg Rotary Club last even
ing and it was carried out in every
feature of the elaborate and delightful
entertainment, which was, by the way,
the most successful in the club's long
history 'of such affairs.
The dinner, with which the evening
began, was served at 6.30 in the ban
quet hall of the Masonic Temple. The
big room was decorated In red, white
I and blue. Hundreds of flags were fes
tooned and draped about the walls and
hung from the ceiling. In front was
an elevated stage, directly behind the
j speakers' table screened from the view
of the diners by immense American
I flags as curtains. At a proper time,
j to the tune of the "Star Spangled Ban-
I ner" and the cheers of the guests these
curtains were swung aside, revealing a
beautiful figure of Betsey Ross in the
act of making the first American flag.
The scene was worked out from a fa
mous historical painting and formed the
central figure of the decorative scheme.
The dinner hats of the guests were
all in red, white and blue, as were the
table decorations, while hundreds of
red, white and blue baloons filled' with
illuminating gas floated above the ta
bles half way between floor and ceil
ing.

President Howard C. Fry presided,
and at the outset informed those pres
ent that "speeches would be barred."
Nevertheless C. Floyd Hopkins did man
age to work in a few remarks on how
delighted the Rotarlans were to be
hosts to the ladies and he promised
more dinners, excursrons, motor trips,
! picnics and luncheons as the year pro
j gresses. The dinner began with an in
vocation by John Yates.
l'atrlotlc Songn
During the course of the festivities
! cabaret singers led by a violinist sang
| patriotic songs, with the guests joining
in the choruses. Each lady present
received as a souvenir a handsomely
engraved silver candlestick. The din
ner favors were all of a patriotic na
ture and the program covers were
American flags with the Rotary seal in
the lower right handi corner. Ruther
ford was caterer.
Captain George F. Dumb, in the name
of the guests, presented President Fry
with a very, very large watch (not
gold) suspended from a very, very
heavy chain (also not gold) to which
was attached a very, very big potato
(all gold.) Mr. Fry said he was very,
very thankful, but if the committee
didn't mind would it take back the
watch and give him another "potato?
The committee declined.
After the minner the room was
cleared of tables and President and
Mrs. Fry le'd the guests In a grand
march, which was followed by dancing.

New York, March 7.—The steam
ship Carmania, of the Cunard line,
which arrived last night from Liver
pool, is equipped with the best sub
marine defenses carried by any mer

device she carries a naval 6-inch gun
with a range of eight miles.
