Use Ice
All The Year
This is the safe way to keep house.
The pantry, back porch or cellar should
not be used for refrigerating purposes.
Food products should be kept at a uniform
temperature of 40 degrees. This can only be
accomplished by using a well-iced re
frigerator.
Dust, dirt and disease germs are always
flying about and Will settle on food placed
out of doors.
Cool nights and warm days cause food to
rapidly decompose.
A small piece of Alspure Ice will preserve
your food, keep it clean and sweet until the
last bit is used.

Driven Away
Says Anna Adley, 1110 North
Twelfth street. IJarrisburg. "I have |
been bothered for a long time with j
indigestion and nervousness, had]
pains in my stomach after eating,;
and would befch up a nasty sour!
substance.
"I felt worn out and sleepy all the
time and at times would get so nerv- |
ous and dizzy that I thought 1 would j
fall. "
"In the morning I was tired and it
would take several hours after I was
up and around before I felt awake.
"I happen to read a ~anpan testi
monial. and concluded that it might
help me.
"It surely was the medicine for
me, and after taking it for some time
I feel entirely new. My indigestion
and stomacli ailments, my nervous
ness and dizzy spells have been
driven away. In the morning 1
awake refreshed and feel line."

SIMPLY "WILD"
FOR BREAKFAST!
Newberry Man Gels I'p For Brenk
, fast With Voracious Ap|)ctitc
And Eats Everything
Previous to taking Tanlac, Fred
Welch, 840 Clark street, Newberry,
had no appetite at any time of the
day for anything. Now he is hungry
early in the morning and after par
taking of a good substantial break
fast he is able to follow it up
throughout the day with two good
square meals. Mr. Welch says:
"For a long time I suffered from
stomach trouble, catarrh, constipa
tion and a general run-down co*-
dition. I rilso had an attack of
grippe and felt miserable.
"I never had an appetite and I
would walk from the table more
dissatisfied than when I sat down.
Although I had plenty to eat and'
dainty morsels that would tempt
the appetite of other persons, still
I simply had to force a certain
amount into my stomach to keep
alive and I never enjoyed what I ate.
"I had catarrh in the head for
many years and with every change
in the weather I would contract a
heavy cold that annoyed me greatly.
I coughed phlegm, and mucus and
I lay awake most of the time during
the night.
. "When I awoke in the morning I
felt miserable and had no appetite.
I would begin the day with a dull,
sickening feeling and usually con
tinued that way until night time.
"Now all that is changed! When
I get up in the morning now I am
wild with hunger. 1 enjoy my meals
immensely and it seems to add hap
piness to my life.
"Almost simultaneously all my ail
ments disappeared. With my appe
tite restored I feel like a new man
and when I go to bed I get a good
sound night's sleep and I awake
much refreshed in the morning. I
am pleased to recommend Tanlac
and as far as I am personally con
cerned I would not be without it."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic, Is now being Introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store, who have se
cured the exclusive sale of this mas
ter medicine In Harrisburg.
Tanlac is also sold at the Gorgas

Specially Heated Storage
Not Needed For Seed Corn
In order that it may dry as quickly
as possible, seed corn should be
stored the day It is selected In a dry
place having free circulation of air.
Most invcs'lgators have reported In
creased yields from seed stored in
warm buildings as compared with
seed stored la buildings without
heat.
In experiments at the Pennsyl
vania State College school of agricul
ture and experiment station, tho
average yield in a six-year test for
seed stored in a building heated
both day and night was 71.5 bushels
as compared with 70.2 bushels per
aero for seed stored in a barn having
free circulation of air. This differ
ence Is hardly sufficient to warrant
the building of specially heated seed
houses.
On the average farm a well ven
tilated attic above the kitchen or
other heated room Is as good a place
as any In which to store seed corn.
The next best place Is under the
roof in the hay mow or In any other
building having a free circulation
of air. A good plan Is to tie the
ears together or to arrange them
on racks and suspend them where
mice and rats can not reach them.
After seed ears have become dry as
old corn, they may be stored In
sacks, barrels or boxes stacked in
a mouseproof room until needed. |

will beat the Infantry to the front,
for it Is planned to complete the In
tensive training of the gunners un
der actual battle conditions under
the fire of German guns and with
their own weapons directed against
occupied German trenches in various
positions behind the enemy liryss.
While the plans of the American
commanders are unknown. It would
seem logical from a military stand
point that after the artillery has
completed several weeks of training
at the front in connection with the
French Infantry and supporting guns,
the greater part of it would be with
drawn for maneuvers with the-grad
ually multiplying American infantry.
The co-operation of artillery and
infantry is so close under modern
battle tactics that it is essential they
should be trained to act together al
most as one unit. And just as the
first contingent of American infantry
will devote itself largely through the
fall and winter to training other
units as they arrive, so the first con
tingent of artillery will train the bat
teries, regiments and brigades which
will be thrown into France, before
SEPTEMBER 14, 1917.
the spring campaign of 1918 is likely
to begin.
While it Is not known here what
announcements may have been made
from Washington, the arrival of a
large section of American field ar
tillery In France has been kept a
carefully guarded secret so far as
Kurope Is concerned. The announce
ment Is permitted now only after the
officers and men have progressed far
in their Intensive training under gen.
eral supervision of the most expert
artillerists of France.
Instructors Americanized
There are no longer any French
officers or pollus actually serving at
the guns, the crews having been
Americanized throughout. At the
observation posts and in the schools
of Instruction l-'rench officers sit now
only in an advisory capacity.
Through various reports received
from trained observers, attaches and
other confidential sources during the
last three years, the American ar
tillery officers of the regular army
have been enabled to keep in fairly
close touch wtili all the gunnery de
velopment in the world war—suf
ficiently close, in any event, to change
