No Substitute For Well-Iced Refrigerator REAR porches, window boxes and venti lated pantries are dangerous and ex pensive substitutes for the ice box. Food placed out of doors is exposed to the germ-laden aii* and soon becomes unfit for use—athough the quality seems impaired. To properly care for food you must have a uniform temperature of 40 degrees F. day and night. This is possible only bv the use of a well-iced refrigerator. The cost of one roast allowed to spoil will buy ice for a week. The expense of one case of ptomaine poisoning will buy ice for a sea son for the average family. Keep your refrigerator going ever day in the year and by so doing practice true economy. United Ice & Coal Co. Harrtsbunr , M i Steelton. FRIDAY EVENING.

The board re-, mained in session all day and ad journed until Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Next week an effort will be made to clean lip all the'claims that re main to be acted on and these will include all of Dauphin which have been before the board for some time.

Yours very truly, (Signed) S. G. T. STEELE, Colonel British and Canadian Re crliting Mission. May Not Be Able to Enlist The question as to whether or not' the young men of Harrisburg can enlist even if the orders are given to examine all registered men, is caus ing great anxiety. Many rumors to the effect that the right of volunteer enlistment is to be denied registered men have been circulated. Several newspapers have given the wrong version of the matter and as a re sult. many Qf the young men of Har risburg who are registered, do not know exactly what to do. Colonel Frank Sweeney of the state draft headquarters, to-day stated that there has not been any change In the reading of the law. Up to this time every registered man who has not been called for ex amination by his local board is free to enlist. Once he is called, how ever, he loses that right and must present himself for examination. Un less this law is changed, the issuance of the new orders to examine all reg istered men, as is contemplated, will automatically stop the enlistment of all registered men. However, Secre tary of War Baker in his address to the members of the Chamber of Commerce stated that it is probable that new laws will be made regard ing the draft system. Until the new orders are issued, every Harrisburger who has registered, and has not been called may enlist without any fear of being summoned for examination by his local board.
