' • NOT ASKED TO GO HUNGRY Mr. McCormick Explains No One Is Under Obligations to Fast by Signing Pledge To disillusion those who erron- believe that by pledge to conserve food they are pledging themselves to observe fre quent fast days and meatless days, Donald McCormick, a member of the food supply division of the Dau phin County Committee of Public Safety said this morning that the move )s designed only to eliminate waste. Mrs. John W.

L. Page, 1315 Derry street, will act as chairman of the Second ward. Mrs. J. Sherron Mac- Donald, 1200 North Fifteenth street, will act as chairman of the Seventh ward. "Food conservation and the elim ination of food waste are vital essen tials .to success in helping to win the great war," said Mr. McCor mick. No one is asked to starve or undergo any hardships. All we ask is that people practice moderation in their eating and leave the 'plate clean.' " J. M. Frazier, president of the Pennsylvania State Hotel Association, has Issued a letter to the hotel pro prietors of the state urging them to practice every economy. It is deem ed of such worth by the Obmmittee cf Public Safety that it is also being sent to clubs, restaurants and board inghouses. The letter follows: 'No element of our war measures seems to be of graver importance or of more far-reaching influence at this time than the question of the world food supply and it Is an indi vidual duty devolving upon every cit izen to augment this supply to the greatest extent possible by wise econ omy. "Hotel and restaurant men and public caterers of every sort can do much to aid In this direction by care ful planning of menus to cut. down the excessive number of different foods offered for daily service with out essentially detracting from the attractiveness of the service and by reducing portions that are now known by experience and practice to be In excess of the requirements of the average individual and are consequently conducive to extrava gance and waste. "Additional assistance can be ren dered the cause of food conservation by the character of foods selected for service. "We can help out the meat supply by refusing to purchase veal, includ ing sweetbreads and calves' liver, baby lamb, suckling pigs, ducklings, squab chickens (under l'/i pound 3), etc., etc. Use Sea Food "The use of sea food should he encouraged as far as practicable as a means of curtailing the use of beef. "Tho use of perishable articles, summer vegetables and fruits In sea son should also be encouraged as a means of avoiding market waste through spoilage and consequent loss. "Corn and rye bread In various forms should be offered to the pub lic regularly as a means of saving wheat. Cornbread three times a day. "Employes should be instructed and urged to co-operato in making the greatest possible saving in every department. "To the acceptance of such a movement the public is being rapid ly educated and in fact some leading establishments are already offering their patrons 'war portions' at a moderate reduction in price and in creasing tho number of single por tions listed. "The further education of the pub lic along these lines can be ma terially helped by printing at the head of the dally menu a legend to read, in effect: "We ask our patrons to aid us In an effort to conserve the country's food supply by a care ful avoidance of waste. "Hotels operating on the American plan should print a request to pa trons to exercise care In ordering as a measure of war economy. "The ndontlon and Intelligent car rying out of such plans as here sug gested will not only effect a material saving in operation but It is a .pa triotic duty which we should all be rind to nerform as a part of our 'bit' in the service that everv man owes to his country In the time of ltd need."

PENNSY SHOWS NET DECREASE Officials Expect That In crease in Rates Will Partly Increase Costs Income statements of the Pennsyl vania Railroad and system companies , for May again show greater Increases in expenses than in revenues. These and other railroad statements will be studied in connection with tho ad vanced freight rates authorized last week by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Exactly what they will amount to in dollars has not been stated in any authoritative way, but the 15 cents per ton on coke and bit uminous and the higher class rates will make an important addition to revenues. May Decreases For May tho decreases in railway operating revenue of tho Pennsyl vania Railroad. Pennsylvania Com pany and Pittsburgh. Cincinnati. Chicago and St. Louis Railroad—the three chief segments of the big sys tem—totaled $1,588,000. An average increase of 6.2 per cent, in tho freight earnings would have cleared that do crease by a small margin. In the case of the Pennsylvania Rail road proper an average increase of 4.3 per rent, in tho freight revenue would hace made good the deorease of $682,000 in the company's net in come available for dividends.

The edict follows: "LI Yuan Hung memorializes us to take over the government, stat- Infc that ho was forced by the troops during the first revolution to become the nation's head. Ho bemoans his defects as head of the republic and asks us to punish him. We recog nize his mistakes and also his merits. Wc hereby | appoint him a duke of the first class." The Imperial emblem Is every where displayed, marking the res toration of tho Manchu monarchy. There has been no disorder. In a long edict Emperor Hsuan Tung, who was restored to tho throne to day. explains how, being youthful he was forced to relinquish sovereign power to Yuan Shi Kal, late presi dent of tho Chinese republic. The country being threatened with disintegration and party strife and the people appealing to him- to take over its administration to save the peoplo from suffering, the young emperor says ho was compelled to take action.

"Expenses of the Imperial house hold shall remain the same as those fixed by the republic. "Blood princes shall not be allow ed to Interfere in politics. "There shall bo no difference be tween Manchus and Chinese. Mar riage between them is allowed. Recognize Treaties "All foreign treaties and contracts shall remain in force. "The stamp tax and other petty taxes are abolished. "The republican criminal civil code is abolished and that intro duced the first year under Hsuan Tung's government is reinstated. "Political offenders are pardoned. "The wearing of queues is op tional." A hundred Japanese have arrived to strengthen the legation guard. There Is no news of President LI Yuan Hung's expected resignation. THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSEj Pure blood is the body's first lino of defense against disease. Healthy blood contains small amounts of antitoxins that neutralize the poisons of invading germs or de stroy the germs themselves. That is why so many people exposed to dis ease do not contract it. Those whose blood is weak and therefore lacking in defensive power are most liable to in fection. Everybody may observe that healthy, red-blooded people are less liable to attacks of cold and the grip than are pale, bloodless people. To build up the blood there is one remedy that has been a household word for a generation, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They tone up the entire system, make the blood rich and red, strengthen the nerves, increase the appetite, put color in the cheeks and lips and drive away that unnatural tired feeling. Plenty of sunlight, good wholesome food and fresh air will do the rest. Two books, "Building Up tho Blood" and "What to Eat and Haw to Eat'' give just the information that every ' mother of a growing girl needs. They are free.

Liver and Stomach Trouble Knocked Out' By the Champion Medicine Sanpan Mr. Emanuel Robinson, 1325 Wil liam street, Harrisburg, says: "I suro was miserable, day after day I drudged along scarcely able to do my work. "A torpid liver and poor stomach action had weakened me, made me very nervous, caused severe head •aehe, and gave rise to a catarrhal condition in my head and throat. "My appetite was bad and often after eating or- rather, forcing down some food, I would suffer with cramps that would seem to be around the heart, I was sure all liunged up, and very much discour aged as well, as I coud not get per manent relief, sometimes I would be better for a day or so and think that things were coming around O. K., only to have a relapse the next day, this took the heart out of mo as everything was apparently going wrong. "One day I noticed a Sanpan a<l in the paper, but did not pay mil' h attention ic it, as I had tiled sev eral remertie* without results; b.'t as I rcnl tailed to see day after d:iy, reports of its good work, I made up my mind that It. must be good, and decided to give it a trial. "It soon began to do the work, and to-day am feeling fine; have no headaches, nerves have settled, stomach Is fine, liver fixed up. head and throat have cleared, and San pan did it for me." Sanpan is now being introduced at Keller's Drug Store, 405 Market street, Harrisburg, where the San pan man Is explaining it to the people.—adv. r . \ A plate without a roof, which does not Interfere with taste or ■peeclt. ■ Crown and 1 I'latea repaired while you watt..
