PLANNING BIG
TIME FOR ELKS
Local Lodge Informed Boston
Will Show Grand Lodge
Delegates Good Sport
Boston is groins to have a big time
for the Elks. This anouncement came
from the Boston committee to local
Elks and is being; sent to all Elks
lodges throughout the United States.
Tho only change In the original pro
gram is the elimination of excursions
to Boston. Harrisburg's herd met
last night and heard of the plans.
It is expected that at least 50,000
will attend the grand lodge sessions,
and celebration, starting July 7 and
ending July 14. The program as now
arranged brings into play all the his
toric, romantic, natural, educational
and Industrial elements that go to
make Boston and vicinity the most at
tractive and most revered spot on
the Western Hemisphere.
One excursion will take the Elks
and their guests over the course of
Paul Revere's famous ride: another
will take them to the spot where the
Pilgrims established the first perma
nent settlement in this country; the
battlefields of Concord and Lexington,
Bunkil Hill and Rochester Heights;
the Old North Church, Kings Chapel,
the Washington Elm, where George
Washington first took command of
the Continental army, and number
less other points historic and ro
mantic interest will be visited on still
other excursions.
Boston Harbor and its famous beach
resorts, at one of which there will be
a gigantic clambake, where hundreds
of expert cooks will prepare hundred* j
of thousands of these appetizing bi
valves for the Elks; the huge textile
plants of Lowell and Lawrence; the
picturesque educational centers of
Harvard and Wellesley Colleges—all
will be made the scenes of Elks ac
tivities during the week of the con
vention,
ttculars.

I GIRLS! MAKE A |
| BEAUTY LOTION I
i! WITH LEMONS!
• *
At the cost of a small jar of ordi
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
ful lemon skin softener and com
plexion beautifier by squeezing the
juice of two fresh lemons into a bot
tle containing three ounces of or
chard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through a fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and re
move such blemishes as sallowness,
freckles and tan, and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it: Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this
sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and
massage it daily into the face, neck,
arms and hands. It naturally should
help to soften, freshen, bleach and
bring out the roses and beauty of any
skin. It is wonderful to smoothen
rough, red hands.
WAS ALL WORN OUT
Could Get No Relief, Until
Sanpan Fixed Him Up
Mr. Edward W. Ewell, 137 Balm
street, Harrisburg, says. "I was all
worn out, weak and nervous, was
subject to dizzy spells, could not
sleep nights. The least exertion
canned me to feel all fagged out.
At times a numb sort of feeling
would creep over me, after which
I would feel chilly.
"I worried a lot and spoke of my
condition to some friends of mine,
but they would not sympathize with
me. In fact, some laughed outright
at me, because I surely looked all
right, in spite of the fact that I
felt as miserable as could be.
"I took various kinds of treat
ment and plenty of medicine, but
could get no relief.
"Finally I saw Sanpan advertised
and made up my mind to give it a
trial.
"In a very short time I began to
feel better, my nerves settled, can
(■lecp good, do not have those chills
or numb feeling.
"Well. I just wish that everyone
felt as good as I do and I know I
owe it all to Sanpan."
Sanpan is now being introduced
at Keller's Drug Store, 405 Market
street. Harrisburg, where the San
pan man is explaining this Samson

SPECULATION IN
WHEAT BANNED
Government Assures Control
of Commodity in All Com
mercial Aspects
Chicago, June 29. Government
plans for food control, according to
a statement given out here to-day
by President Griffin, of the Board
of Trade, includes absolute control
of the wheat trade in all its com
mercial aspects. There can be no
speculation in it. Buying and sell
ing of other grains for present or
future delivery will be unrestricted.
Mr. Griffin's statement follows:
"On Tuesday and Wednesday of |
this week representatives of the i
Grain Exchange of the United ;
States were in conference at Wash- '
ington with Herbert C. Hoover, food
administrator; Julius H. Barnes, his;
chief assistant, and others connect- j
ed with the food administration.
"The exchanges, through their |
representatives, have given their j
whole-hearted support to the Ad- j
ministration's plan for food control, j
Mr. Hoover and his associates have !
unfolded to us their plans in great
retail. Naturally, they are withhold
ing the announcement of their plans
and intentions until such time as the j
food-control bill be enacted ifrito I
law. ,
"Consequently, the detailed plans |
were submitted to us in confidence, i
and I am, therefore, not privileged
at this time to make any complete
statement. Nevertheless, there are
in circulation many unfounded and
unauthorized rumors affecting this ]
situation. Therefore, I have decided |
to anijounce the pian decided upon J
in general, but refrain from discus- i
sing the matter in detail, as that an- j
nouncement necessarily must come I
from Mr. Hoover.
"The plan decided on will permit
unrestricted competition and selling j
of all commodities, for present and j
future deliveries, with the exception '
of wheat. The United States gov
ernment, through its food adminis-1
trator, and their wheat will be pur
tribution of wheat for domestic ex
port purposes. Not only will they i
purchase the wheat for this govern- |
ment, but for the allies and neutrals j
as well.
"The millers, likewise, will come
under control of the food adminis
trator, and there wheat will be pur
chased and flour distributed under
the same control. All must be ap
parent, the operation of the plan
will preclude possibility of trading in
when for future delivery. However,
commission merchants, receivers
and others acting as agents in the
purchase and sale of sample grain
will be permitted to handle (sample) |
wheat on the same basis as al other i
commodities."

SELLING OF ACTIVE
LIST IS RESUMED
Speculative Issues Show Increased Heaviness With De
cline for Many of the Leaders; Dealing Light in the
Main and Limited to Stocks
By Associated Press
New York, June 29.—(Wa1l
Street) —Selling of the active list
was resumed at the beginning of to
day's trading, speculative issues
showing increased heaviness. De
clines of 1 to 3 points were regis
tered by Industrial Alcohol. Baldwin
Locomotive, International Paper,
Pittsburgh Coal, Studebaker, Chan
dler and General Motors. The steel
shares yielded only fractions with
coppers, oils and rails. United States
Steel almost immediately made up
its slight setback and other indus
trials, including equipments, were
inclined to greater tirmness. In the
main dealings were light and limit
ed to the usual leaders.
Further liquidation occurred in the
listless trading of the noon hour.
The motors, alcohol, Ohio Gas and
inactive specialties continued to sag
from sheer apathy. Chandler increas
ed its loss to 9 points and General
Motors dropped 3%. Alcohol yielded
1)4, Pullman 2, Baldwin Locomotive
l s i, and Beet Sugar and Wilson
Company 1%. l'ntted States Steel
made a gross decline of 1 % to I.'B,
and Bethlehem lost I 1 *. The metal
group was extremely quiet and ship
pings and rails played little part in
the more Irregular operations. The
bond market was nominal, the only
feature being a sale of an odd lot
of the Liberty issue at 100 6-50, the
highest premium yet recorded.

The Governor also vetoed the bill

In his veto of the township light

"Any law that discourages where it
