It is said that even the retiring lord
ayora of lxmdon have become, al
ost by official tradition, this deal
's customers, and that the cocked

re of the famous pageants in the

not. the next year to delight the

Some amusing comments have been
ade by this dealer with reference to
e eagerness with which the native
the interior of Africa takes over
is discarded finery. He states that
the bazars where his goods are pur
ased he has seen blacks solemnly
liking around with waistcoats but
ned behind instead of before and
en men wearing women's costumes,
g fellows have been seen in clothes
small that one could not imagine

uld get out unless the stitching

It is related that the Prince de
linville. when ofT the Gaboon coast,
ice received on his ship an official
sit from two chiefs, father and son.

rned for ceremonial purposes a mili
rv uniform. I
That of the father was an Knglish
■neral's. while that of the son was
hussar's. Its intricate cut. numer
-1.1 buttons, straps and buckles, to
•ther with the painfully small size
the uniform, proved too much for
m. He sent the prince a despairing
essage, imploring help, and a relief
rty of delighted midshipmen was
nt to dress him and bring him
ioard.
It Rppears that no manner of wear
s' a complete costume ever equals

itions of unrelated Items. One ven
ahle African chieftain received his
iropean guests with an antiquated
ening shoulder cape of pink tlower
satin and spangles. worn about his

FOOD CONSERVATION TRAIN WILL !
BE IN THIS CITY FOR TWO DA YS
I |
Ilarrlsburg women will be pleased
to learn that the Pennsylvania Food
I Conservation train, now en tour of
the State will be in this city for two
days. The train will be located on
the Pennsylvania railroad siding,
north of Market street, opposite the
Reading station, Wednesday and
Thursday. October 3 and 4. Xo ad
j mission will be charged, and every
| one will be weiconie to witness the
j demonstration by experts. The train
j will be open to the public from 10
in the morning until 12 o'clock noon,
land from 1 p. m. until 5 p. m. Col
j onel J. S. Foster, member of the
I Committee of Public Safety of the
I State, is in charge.
I The train is sent out to spread
| broadcast the propaganda of food
j economy. Canning and baking out
fits, complete kitchen and an exhi
| bition of cakes, pies and bread
baked by women attendants, are fea
tures of the train. It consists of
I three cars, which were furnished the
j eommitee by the Pennsylvania rall
! road. One car was completely fitted
up by Mr. and Mrs. Routzahn, of the
Russell Sage foundation, who offered
their services to Mr. Hoover. He in
turn loaned them to State Chairman
of Food Supply Howard Heinz. The
other two cars are under the direc
tion of State College demonstrators.
On Tour of State
The three cars left Philadelphia
last Friday morning for a six weeks'
tour of the State. Persons who have
inspected the cars and witnessed
the demonstrations, state that it is
evident that the Department of Food
Supply of Pennsylvania Committee
has adopted a well thought out plan
to help settle the food question. One
car is devoted exclusively to canning
and dryins methods. The other cars
are almost entirely given to proving
that bread can be made with other
things besides wheat. They give away
samples of cake made of unusual
fats, which, it is declared, fool even
the epicure into the belief that there
is sixty per cent, butter in it. They
also show how to use peanut oil in
salad dressings.

question the exhibit undertakes to
answer, and it is Riven in a sketch
of an American family at dinner. One
place at the table is vacant and Is

portion formerly bought and wasted,
but now saved. "Serve the guest in
Frnncc," s-ays the exhibit, "by not
wasting." Flags of all nations, now

cars and on display tables are seen
appetizing foods. There are buck
' wheat cakes with maple syrup. On

! MINERS'FIRST
AID CONTESTS
Big Annual Event Abandoned
to Keep Collieries at Work
in Upper End
•Lykens, Pn„ Sept. 28. Wholly
from patriotic motives, in order to
comply with the desire of the Presi
dent of the United States for the pro
| duction of the maximum amount of
! the Susquehanna Coal Com
pany was compelled to abandon the
annual First Aid Day contests at
Sliamokln this year. It has been tho
custom to close the colliery on that
day each year. The company, how
ever, substituted a series of local
contests for each division and each
colliery.
The contest of the First Aid teams
of the Short Mountain colliery at
Lykcns and the Wllliamstown col
liery was held at Lykens borougn
park last evening, and was witnessed
by fully 3,000 people. These con
tests were not of teams of one col
liery against another, but were con
fined entirely to men within their
own organizations, with the excep-l
tion of that of the breaker boys'
teams of Lykens and Wllliamstown.
A parade of the bosses,, the first
aid teams and the United Mine
Workers of America, headed by tho
Wiconisco Band, marched out the
main street of Lykens to the park.
13r. J. M. Mauer, of Shamokin, chief
surgeon at the Susquehanna colliery,
acted as judge of the contests.
The results and prizes in gold
awarded were as follows:
No. 1 team, Williamstown, won
the full-team contest; each man on
team received $5.
No. 1 team, Williamstown, won
the one-man and the two-man con
tests; each man received $2.50.
No. 3 team. Williamstown, won the
three-man contest; each man re
ceived $2.50.
No. 1 team, Lykens, won the three
man contest; each team member got
$5.
No. 2 team, Lykens, won the two
man and three-man contests; $2.50
for each man.
In the breaker boys' contests the
Lykens team won ihe full-team con
test from the Wllliamstown boys, and
I each Lykens boy received $5 and
each Williamstown boy $2.50. The
| Lykens boys also won the one-man
contest from Williamstown, and each
received $2.50.

Potatoes Should Be
Used More Freely
Washington, Sept. 28. —"Now that
the country's bumper potatoi crop la
flowing Into markets In an ever-
Increasing stream the wise housewife
will take advantage of this cheap
source of starchy food and will give
the tubers a very important placo
on the dinner table," siy home
economics specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
It is well known that potatoes are
a nutritious and healthful food, of
which one may eat freely without ill
effects. As a matter of fact, say the
department specialists, there Is some
thing more which can be said for
the potato, for the liberal consump
tion of them helps to supply the body
with alkaline salts which it needs for
normal health. Eat more potatoes,
for breakfast, lunch, dinner or sup
per, therefore, while they are abund
ant, say the specialists, to the advant
age of both your health and your
pocketboolc.
