COMPLETE PLANS FOR FILLING UP BTH REGIMENT I Companies D and I Need More Than Hundred Men; Can Take Cooks Colonel Finney ana other officers of the Eighth Regiment were at the Armory of the City Grays last night, completing plans for the enlistment of men to fill the vacancies caused by the dropping pt married men and oth ers under the conscription act. The regiment has lost on this ac count about three hundred men since returning from tho border, but there have been sufficient enlistments to Justify the belief that in a few days tho ranks will be full. Company D last night required about sixty-six men and Company I about fifty. Five musicians are also required for the Eighth Regiment band and seven or derlies are needed. There are ,also places for cooks In the regiment. A large banner was placed upon tho front of the Armory to-day which la attracting considerable atentlon. It reads: "Enlist Now in the Eighth Regiment—Go With Your Friends." It is pointed out that those who en list In the local companies will al ways be In the service with men whom they Jinow from their home town, wlierea?"enlistment In the gen eral service gives no assurance that the soldiers will not be widely scat tered. There Is much feeling here and there over the persistent efforts of pacifists and others out of sympathy with the war to discourage men from enlisting. After the enrollment next Tuesday these tactics will bring down upon those guilty of such offenses the Indignation and worse of every patri otic citizen. The time for this sort of thing has passed. Whole Milk, Skim and Buttermilk Are Very Valuable Foods Whole" milk, skim milk, and but- | termilk are highly nourishing and ! valuable foods. These foods spoil quickly when . allowed to get warm or when ex- I posed to bacteria and molds present in the dust and the air. \ Keep Milk ('loan Tills* Injunction applies equally to the producer, the wholesaler, the dealer and the consumer. Unclean milk sent from tho farm sours and spoils more quickly than clean milk. Pasteurization makes milk safer. Milk, to keep properly, should never get warmer than 50 degrees F. until it is consumed. The lower the temperature the better the milk will keep. Bacteria—such as those which cause milk to sour—develop very slowly and cause little change in milk kept at such low temperatures. A slight rise in temperature, even for a short time, permits these bac teria to multiply rapidly and bring about " rapid deterioration of the milk, which may render it unfit for ordinary use. Don't leave your milk bottles on a hot porch or doorstep. A short ex posure in the sun or a warm place hastens the spoiling even of cold bottled milk. Have the milkman put your milk into the refrigerator. If this is im possible provide, in warm weather, a box with ice, or a bucket of water in a shady place, for the milk. At any rate have the bottles left in the coolest and shadiest place about your premises. Don't leave milk In bottles or ves sels in a warm room for a moment longer than is necessary. Never pour milk, which has been exposod to the air, back into a bot tle containing other milk. Keep such milk cold and covered in another clean utensil. Keep Milk Clean Milk, when warm, is an ideal cul tural medium for bacteria. Keep milk clean. You can keep it clean only by keeping it covered so that the bacteria and molds from the air will not get into it. Keep your milk bottles covered either with caps or by placing glasses over them. Keep them cov ered in the refrigerator and in the kitchen or dining room. Never pour milk into an unsterile bowl or pitcher. Scald all vessels into which tnllk is poured for keep ing or serving. Cool these utensils after scalding before you put milk into them. Before you open a bottle of milk, wash and wipe the outside of the cap with water and a clean cloth. The little depression at the top of the bottle collects dust or water, or milk, which may attract flies. Uft out the cap with a pointed instru ment, so that the outside of the cap, which may be contaminated, will not be pushed down into the milk. Clean and scald the refrigerator where milk is stored, regularly with hot sal-soda solution. See that the drip pipe is kept open and clean. Even in the cleanest refrigerator, never keep milk'in an open vessel. Milk absorbs odors easily. If there are babies or iittle children In your home, clean, cold, covered milk is absolutely essential. Clean Empty Bottles Finally, clean empty bottles. Rinse thoroughly with cold water every •milk bottle, as soon as emptied, and then wash with hot water. This helps your milkman to give you clean milk. Never take milk bottles into a sick room. Tf you have an infectious or contagious disease in your home, boll the milk bottles, and <lo not return them without the express sanction of your health officer or attending physician. Don't Throw Out Skim Milk Clean skim milk is a valuable food, containing all the nourishing elements of whole milk except the fat or cream. It is useful in cook ing cereals, soups, sauces, cocoa, etc., and Is a palatable, nourishing beverage. Sour milk and buttermilk can be used with soda in making hot breads, or sour milk can be easily turned into cottage cheese, or clab ber. Sour cream is a good shorten ing for cakes and cookies and Is use ful for salad dressings and gravies for meat. The U. S. Department of Agricul ture will be glad to send you ad ditional Information about the care and use of milk. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH WHY MEN OF CONSCRIP SHOULD ENLIST IN GUARD An officer of one of the local companies\ to-day said: "There are a number of reasons why men should enlist at once in the local companies, among them being these: 1. They are with men from their own city and lo cality. 2. When they, enlist they know the kind of service they arc going into, whereas if they wait till con scripton becomes effective thfey may be put into the navy, marine corps, aviation corps, or some branch of the service other than the one they would care to serve in. 3. If they do not know any one in either of the local companies at the present time then get some of their friends and enlist together and be assured of having friends. 4. When they go out with one of the local companies they will be kept together for the period of serv ice—there will be no breaking up of crowds that enlist together as will be the case if they enlist in any other way. 5. By enlisting in these companies, where at least half of the men are well drilled, men have a better chance of learning rapidly and thus do a\Vay with many long hours of training. Much can be learn ed from observing the older men. 6. The chances of promotion are better. 7. Serving with men who know how to overcome many of the hardships incident to service in the i field and who know how to guard against dis ease and preserve the health of the organization. The medical record the local companies in the eight months' service just completed on the border argues well for them in that respect. 8. Most important of all in the years to come they will be known by the regiment they served in.Vlt will mean something to a man then if he can say when asked what regiment he served in, that it was in the Eighth Pennsylvania, and not in THE . NATIONAL ARMY as the conscript army will be known. Get in touch with one of the officers of the local com panies TO-DAY and have them explain to you just what it means—then you will enlist. U.S. WAR EXPERTS FEAR BIG DRIVE Look For Hindenburg to Strike at France in a Short Time Washington, May 29.—War depart ment officers expect a tremendous drive against the French lines In the immediate future. Germany's sole chance of winning the war is to crush France before the United States can get adequate forces ieady to afford any real assistance. The Government has come into pos session of information, all tending to arouse anxiety and indicating that Germany is planning a great move ment within the next six weeks. Information has come to the War Department that Germany has a new army of one million men who have never been in the trenches, but have been subjected to intensive training, and are ready for active service. Many of these men were released from the German factories by the Importation of Belgians and the enforced labor of the Belgians. Prepare For Buttle Germans are stripping the eastern front of their crack lighting organiza tions for the further reinforcement of Ilindenburg in this prospective gigan tic drive. It now appears that the re ports of a German movement against Russia and a German drive on Petro grad originated in Berlin and were put forth to deceive the allies as to the true objective o fthe German pro gram. Russia, torn with revolution and an archy, is out of commission in a mili tary sense. Russia evinces a disposi tion to let Germany alone If Germany will let here alone. Russia is furnish ing some food to Germany and may furnish more. It is known now that Germany ex pected the United States to enter the war with the resumption of ruthless submarine warfare and planned then to strike a mortal blow at France be fore America, unprepared and far dis tant, could come to the rescue effec tively. Plnim Upset But the British struck Hlndenburg before he could prepare his onslaught. He was compelled to defend and to retire. The British and French kept him on the run, and he could not make a stand long enough to gather his forces for the long-contemplated drive on tl\e French lines.

MORE FROM CITY ORDERED TO CAMP Harrisburg Boys at Gettys burg Taken; 'Army Commis sions Won't Hit Others Fort Niagara, N. Y., May 29.—The commissions received by fifty stu dent officers in training at the re serve officers training camp here last week were issued by Secretary of War Baker upon the recommenda tion of a qualified examining board, according to officers In charge of the post. The local ofQeials had nothing to do with granting the commissions, and according to some of the staff officers the fact tlutt these men now have their com missions will in no way affect the men in training un less these men are assigned to some unit of the army to bo formed as a result of the army increase author ized by Congress, fhe men now in training still have an equal chance of being named to command some unit in the selective service army as those who last week obtained com missions, one of the officers declared. This officer said the commissions were issued following examinations held before the men entered the Nia gara training camp. No examina tions have been held here and none will be until the completion of the three months' training. The men ob taining commissions will continue to study with the other student officers, Colonel Heavy, in charge of instruc tion, said. The only difference the training of the commissions will have is the new officers will receive pay of their rank during the time they are in camp. They must pay their own board and buy their uni forms. It is possible they must be assign ed to some of the regiments to be formed during the summer. Six of these regiments of infantry and two of cavalry are to be formed at Syra cuse. About 500 men, taken from regiments of the present regular J army, will form the nucleus of each regiment. The imainder of the troops will be volunteers, recruited I by regular army ortlcers throughout j the country. Forty-five men from each eom i pany will be chosen to take places in the first selective service army. If the men commissioned last week are still in the reserve corps when the selections are made and there are others in the company whose ex aminations show them to be better qualified to take commands, those commissioned last week will have to wait, one of the officers said. When asked regaridng the possibility of ill feeling toward the newly-commis sioned officers. Colonel Samuel W. Miller declared "That's all poppy cock." More Harrlsburgers Go Twenty-nine students of Gettys burg College, Pa., have been order ed to report to Foil Niagara June 1 to ntcr the training camp.
