OLD FIREHOUSE TO BE DEMOLISHED State Making Ready to Remove Citizen Station; Mt. Ver non Will Be Next Work on the demolition of the old Citizen fire engine house in the Cap itol Park zone was started to-day, the company having transferred its quarters to the Friendship house in South Third street. No move has yet been made by the Mt. Vernon Hook and Ladder Company to vacate its building in Fourth street, near North, but the State authorities have advised the purchaser of the build ing that the fire company was ad vised of the sale of property and to vacate some time ago. "inasmuch as the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings is extremely anxious to start the work of grading the extension area without delay the Mount Vernon Company will be re quired to transfer their equipment to the Hope engine house. City Com missioner Grose, who has supervision of the Fire Department, was also notified by the State authorities to vacate the property. There is some criticism among the Capitol officials over the delay of the Mount Vernon Company to va cate its old quarters. It is believed, however, that when the officers of the hook and ladder company real ize that the property is no longer owned by the State, but must be re moved by the contractor they will transfer the equipment to the Hope building.

WEDNESDAY EVENING; HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH AUGUST 15,1917. CATTLE FEEDS IN TESTING PERIOD Violations Found Have Been Followed by Prompt Pros ecutions Lately Owing to the present high prices for all classes and grades of feeding stuffs and the difficulty In securing ingredients for mixed feeds, every possible byproduct is being used by manufacturers, says the bulletin is sued by the State Department of Agriculture which is compelled to be especially active in watching the \arious shipments of feeds sold in the State. Thirty-two prosecutions were re cently made at'ter feeds analyzed by the State Chemist James W. Kellogg were found to be adulterated, de ficient in guaranteed contents or contained prohibited materials. Th, purchaser of feeding stuffs relies upon the guarantees of the manu facturer as to contents and the De partment of Agriculture must pro tect the public that no inferior or prohibited materials are used and that feeds are not deficient in their food values. Recent prosecutions included nine cases where cottonseed meal was found to be deficient in protein and to contain excessive amounts of cot tonseed hulls; ten cases where poul try feeds were found adulterated with varying amounts of whole weed seeds; live cases of beef scrap de ficient in protein; six dairy and stock feeds deficient in food constituents and containing prohibited materials and two cases where refuse mid dlings were deficient in protein and adulterated with ground corn cobs. Investigations are now being made of several molasses feeds which have become damaged and moldy through the use of inferior molasses. The department has recently caused a carload of feed, which was com posed for the most part of ground peanut hulls, to be rejected and shipped out of the State and also prevented the use of another caj-load of this material from being mixed as an ingredient ih dairy and stock feeds. This product is a refuse from the cleaning of tinplate and is com posed almost entirely of ground pea nut hulls with a small proportion of palm oil. An investigation is now being made of a shipment, from a Western Sfatp, of ground screenings which was sold as rye middlings. As this is an inter-state shipment, the matter has been reported to the Federal authorities who will take action direct against the shippers if the Federal food law has been violated. NEW AMBULANCE OFFICERS By Associated Press Paris, Aug. 15.

Don't Let Soap Spoil Your Hair When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very Injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulslfied cocoanut oil, for this Is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most ex pensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with wa ter and rub it in, about a teaspoon ful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han dle. Besides, It loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. "It Has Done Me A Lot of Good He Says" John McFadden Claims That Tanlac Rostoml His Health and Strength "I was afflicted with stomach trouble so bad that it was Just wear ing me away to skin and bones," says John McFadden, a well-known miner who lived at 11 Wyoming St., Wilkes- Barre, Pa. "I had no appetite and what little I did eat never agreed with me, but would lie heavy and sour on my stomach causing me much distress. "Often I would vomit in the morn ing, I was restless all night long, nervous, constipated and was losing weight fast. "I had tried a lot of medicines without getting any good out of them and when Tanlac was recom mended to me I decided to give it a trial. "It certainly did me a lot of good right from the start and I have kept right on getting better until by now I can eat a good big meal and enjoy it: I sleep fine and feel a lot better all over."

STATE CALLS ON PEOPLE TO SAVE Store Vegetables Is the Advice Given by the Officials to the Housekeeper Pennsylvania this year between twenty-five and thlrty-flve million bushels of potatoes grown by the farmers and the thousands ot war gardeners who have successfully entered the producing class follow ing the call to arms made necessan by the war, says a bulletin issued by the State Department of Agriculture. Much of this great crop will go to the market as It is harvested on the farms, but the consumer can help materially to cut the high cost of living by preparing for the stor age of his winter home supply of both potatoes and other root veg etables. Secretary of Agriculture Charles E. Patton urges every consumer to prepare for the btorage of potatoes, turnips, beets, carrots, cabbage anu any other roots whicfi may be saved over the winter use. He advises per sons who have been unable to grow any potatoes or vegetables this sum mer to prepare to purchase their winter's supply during the next two months when such products will be at their lowest price and says that every family should have from ten to twenty-five bushels of potatoes on hand while farmers should arrange to stofe and hold back a portion of their crop and sale throughout the year so that there Is no shortage in any community. It has been the common practice during the past ten I years to sell all the potatoes as fast as they are dug. If the practice is I pursued this year the price will go | far below the cost of production, and next year farmers will be discour aged and neglect planting. E. B. Dorsett. director of the Bu reau of Markets of the Pennsylva nia Department of Agriculture, says: "There are several effective meth ods of potato storage if suitable cel lars are not obtainable. A cave can be made in the side of a hill or bank that will afford excellent storage facilities. All one needs to do Is to tunnel into the bank, lay up the sides with stone or cement, protect ing the roof either with cement or some support to prevent dirt from falling and leaving the natural ground floor. This method is not ex pensive and makes an excellent stor age place for potatoes or any of the vegetables. "If a hillside is not available then the old-fashioned method of burying can be practiced. Select a dry place having natural drainage, make a pit six or eight inches deep, or larger if many potatoes are desired. Place the potatoes in the pit in such a manner as when full It should pre sent the form of a cone. They can then be covered with loose straw to a depth of four or six inches and covered with a light covering of dirt. A ventilator can be placed In the top of the lilll by making a tube out of boards three to four inches in width. If the hill is very large, an empty nail keg can be used by placing something over the top to keep out the storm. As soon as win ter sets in more dirt should be put on, and then the top covered with stable manure, horse manure being preferable as it is warmer. Turnips, beets and carrots can be stored in the same manner. "An effective and simple storage system for turnips, beets and car rots Is made through burying them in sand in dirt cellars. Get clean dry sand and place it in a corner of your cellar where you desire to store vegetables and bury your turnips, beets and carrots. They will keep in good condition, crisp and in their na tural state, beets often keeping for over two years by this method. "Cabbage can readily be stored by selecting a dry place, digging a trench wide enough and deep enough to place two heads side by side, put ting the f&ce of the head in the trench, leaving the roots protruding and standing upward. Cover the cabbage lightly with straw up to the roots and then throw loose dirt over the straw. Sometimes it is advisable to place two boards along either side of the trench in order to pro tect them against severe storms. An opening can be left at one end of the trench in order that cabbage can be taken out during the winter months. This can be protected by stuffing of loose straw or old blankets. Flags Rip, Eggs Fly, in Suffragist Riot Washington, Aug. 15. Resentment against the display of the now fam ous "Kaiser Wilson" banners by suf frage pickets in front of the White House reached a serious climax late yesterday afternoon, when mobs of well-dressed citizens, led by American sailors in uniform, tore the emblems from the hands of fair pickets as rapidly as they could be displayed by suffragists trailing across Lafayette Square from the Cameron residence, their headquarters. The Cameron house was stormed by the mob during the demonstration, which continued intermittently for more than an hour. In their efforts to unfurl one of their "Kaiser Wil son" banners where it would be safe from the mob the suffragists flung it to the breeze from the top of the house. The jacktars procured lad ders, mounted to the roof and pulled the "Kaiser banner" from its staff, while a big crowd of citizens in Lafay ette Square cheered the act. Two ar rests were made, but not of the sail ors. One of the men arrested gave the name of Jack Gitlleb. Destroyers Convoy Merchant Vessels An Atlantic Port, Aug. 15. Brit ish and American destroyers are now convoying fleets of merchant vessels to and from Brltsh ports. This was learned upon the arrival at an Ameri can port of a British liner, which was one of nine passenger and freight vessels to leave a British port to gether under warship convoy and which have arrived at an American port. These vessels were held in port on the other side from one to three days while destroyers outside in the At lantic made the way safe for them to come out and met them upon their ar rival at a prearranged rendezvous. They were convoyed in fleet forma tion well out to sea, when they were left to their own speed and guns to take care of themselves. GERMAN RAIDER OFF AFRICA Believe Dlagulsed Ship Laid Mine That Sunk City of Athena New York, Aug. 15. According to Information received here in marine Insurance circles, a German raider, disguised as a Greek sailing ship, is believed to be responsible for th<? sowing of mines alonr the South Afri can coast which resulted in the de struction of the British passenger liner, City of Athens. Such a vessel, marine men said, has been reported to the British Admiralty as being seen In waters adjacent to the African coast, and a number of fast cruisers were dispatched to investigate and learn its Identity. The loss of the City of Athens, it added, had a disturbing effect on the war risk market for vessels and cargo destined to that part of the world, a section heretofore considered reason ably safe.
