i ADMINISTRATOR INCREASES
PITTSBURGH I'OOli PRICES
Pittsburgh, Nov. 27. —Maximum
i marlte prices were cast into the dis
card and new high prices establish
ed :n the schedule of food prices
announced by W. D. George, local
I United States food administrator,
yesterday. Last night there was an
I indignation meeting being held in
! virtually every home in Pittsburgh
; and vicinity.
The prices quoted are for cash
sales and carry your bundles home.
Consumers are cautioned against
short weight in making purchases.
Food Administrator George, re
cently in the real estate business,
quoted butter, "fresh creamery ex
tras in tubs at 53 to 55 cents a
pound." It has been on sale at local
markets for the last two weeks at 52
cents. Turkeys, which have been on
sale at 40 cents, he fixes a price of
from 44 to 48 cents, while chickens,
which have been retailing at 35
cents, he allows from 35 to 40 cents.
Navq bears, which have been on j
a reasonable time and multitudes more
will be able to strengthen their eyes so
as to be spared the trouble and ex
pense of ever getting glasses. Eye
troubles of many descriptions may bo
wonderfully benefited by the use of this
prescription at home. Go to any active
OlJug store and get a bottle of I(im-
Opto tablets. Drop one Bon-Opto tab
let in a fourth of a glass of water and
let it dissolve. With this liquid bathe
the eyes two to four times daily. You
should notice your eyes clear up per
ceptibly right from the start, and in
flammation and redness will quickly dis
appear. If your eyes bother you even
a little it is your duty to take steps to
save them now before it is too late.
Many hopelessly blind might have saved
their sight if they had cared for their
eyes in time.
Note: Another prominent Physician, to whom
the nhove article wis submitted, said: "Yes,
tiie Bon-Opto prescription is truly a wonderful
eye remedy. Its constituent ingredients are well
known toeminent eye specialists nnd widely
prescribed by them. I have used it very suc

NO MORE CATARRH
A (iiiarnntecd Treatment That Has
Stood the Tent of Time
Catarrh cures come and catarrh
cures go, but Hyomei continues to
lieal catarrh and abolish its disgust
ing symptoms wherever civilization
exists.
Every year the already enormous
sales of this really scientific treat
ment for catarrh grow greater, and
the present year should show all rec
ords broken.
If you breathe Hyomei daily as di
rected it will end your catarrh, or it
won't cost you a cent.
If you have a hard rubber Hyomei
inhaler somewhere around the house,
get it out' and start it at once to for
ever rid yourself of catarrh.
H. C. Kennedy, or any other good
druggist, will sell you a bottle of
Hyomei (liquid), start to breathe it
and notice how quickly it clears out
the air passages and makes the entire
head feel tine.
Hyomei used regularly will end ca
tarrh. coughs, colds, bronchitis or
asthma. A complete outfit, including
a hard rubber pocket Inhaler and bot
tle of Hyomei. costs but little. No
stomach dosing: just breathe it. It
kills the germs, soothes and heals
the inflamed membrane. —Advertise-

RESUMES STORY
OF WEDDED LIFE
Flattered Her Husband to
Hold Him, Young Wife
Tells Justice
By Associated Frets
Minoola, N. Y.. Nov. 27.—Mrs.
Blanca Errazuriz. mother of Mrs.
Blanca De Saulies, was to-day ex
pected to take the witness stand to
testify in behalf of her daughter,
who is on trial In supreme court here
charged with the murder of her di
vorced husband, John L. De Saulies.
Mrs. Errazuriz together with her
other daughter, Amalia, and her son,
William, came to New York from
Chile on the first ship available upon
hearing of the tragedy at De Saulies
home near Westbury, Long Island,
the night of August 3.
Several other witnesses for the de
fense are to follow her on the wit
ness stand, whereupon a volume of
expert testimony is to be adduced.
The testimony, which will concern
Mrs. De Saulies' mental condition
now and at the time of the shooting
is expected to occupy considerable
time. Alienists, X-ray specialists and
others prominent in the medical pro
fession are to testify for both sides
in connection with Mrs. De Saulies
Claim that she was mentally irre
sponsible when she shot her former
husband. It is believed the trial will
continue well into next week.
Contrary to predictions yesterday,
Mrs. De Saulles was returned to the
witness stand this morning for cross
examination by District Attorney
Charles K. Weeks, who is conducting
the prosecution.
Weeks' lirst question was in rela
tion to her closing statement yester
day that she remembered nothing from
the time she heard her former hus
band refuse to give her custody of
their son until she awakened in the
Nassau county jail. He asked whether
she testified to that effect. The wit
ness answered in the affirmative.
Other questions brought a state
ment from Mrs. De Saulles that sh-?
has suffered considerably from the
heat during her three months' im
prisonment.
Heatless P. R. T. Cars
Make People Suffer;
Many of Crews Quit
Philadelphia, Nov. 27. —A pas
senger who liad ridden several
squares in an unheated Fourth street
car last night turned to the con
ductor as he was getting out:
"As a matter of information," the
passenger said, "I should like to
ask if the Rapid Transit Company
gave the contract for heating its
cars this winter to the American Ice
Company?"
With the temperature below
freezing, thousands of street car pas
sengers suffered yesterday because
the Rapid Transit Company with
held orders to "turn on the heat"
on the surface cars.
More than 100 conductors and mo
tormen, it was reported among the
carmen themselves, refused to leave
the car barns in the "refrigerator
cars," as they called them. Some of
them resigned rather than risk ill
ness through spending a day in the
cars without heat.
But passengers were not so fortu
nate. They had to ride whether the
cars were cold or not. Some sus
pected that the transit company was
trying to save coal and didn't mur
mur. Others sought sympathy from
the conductor and motorman. But
the majority kicked.
Grain For Liquor Is
Cut 30 Per Cent, by
U. S.; Beer Is Hit
Washington, Nov. 27. The Food
Administration, with the approval of
the President, has taken action, re
ducing the alcoholic content of beer
to 3 per cent, and providing that 30
per cent, of the grain now used in the
manufacture of malt liquors shall be
saved for food purposes. In doing
this the administration takes a direct
stand against any further prohibition
legislation at this time. Statement
given out by the Fo&d Administration
Publicity Hureau says:
"Those who wish brewing entirely
suppressed should bear in mind that
if such course were pursued the coun
try would be placed on a whisky basis
entirely, and the amount of alcohol
would probably increase.
"The desirability of saving all the
grain used in brewing from the point
of view of conservation is, therefore,
limited by the social question involv
ed in the exclusive use of whisky."
This statement is issued in the face
of an unexpected drive by the prohi
bition forces in the Congress to as
semble on Monday to force through a
prohibition bill.
The usual alcoholic content of beer
is from i to 6 per cent, for American
brews.

Apply Only to Big Cities
By Associated Press
Philadelphia, Nov. 2 7.—Prices
that consumers should pay for staple
articles of food, announced by State
Food Administrator Heinz, apply for
the present only to Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, Mr. Heinz said to-day.
Unless the plan is successful in the
two large cities of the state, it will
not bo extended to the smaller cities,
Mr. Heinz explained. He added that
there has been a determined effort
by the wholesalers to meet the situ
ation and to give all information
that will aid in the formation of
plans to govern the market.
The statement is made that the
licensing of the wholesalers is the
means through which the food ad
ministration can work to check over
charging by retailers. It is the In
tention of Mr. Heinz to meet the
market conditions and change the
prices day by day as the fluctuations
occur.

Writer
• Funeral services for Thomas M.
Jones, dean of Harrisburg's newspa-1
per writers, were held to-day at the I
Market Square Presbyterian Church
conducted by the Rev. Dr. George!
.Edward Hawes. The service was a
Masonic one, the exercises at the i
Paxtang cemetery, where interment'
was made, being In charge of Robert i
Burns Bodge, No. 46 4.
Scores of messages from men in |
all parts of the state who are promi
nent in the political and business j
world with whom Mr. Jones was in-1
timately known during his long ca- i
reer as political writer, were re-1
ceived at the home to-day. There j
was a large representation of Mr. j
Jones' close friends at the services. I
Floral tributes were many from !
all parts of the state. There were'
flowers from newspapermen, state, j
county and city officials. Among the!
tributes was a large one fro'm the'
Pennsylvania Legislative Correspond-1
ents' Association of which Mr. Jones j
was one of the charter members a j
quarter of a century ago and presi- !
dent at his death on Saturday, one
from close newspaper friends in ;
Pittsburgh and a mass of flowers!
from the Muzzle Club, an organiza- i
tion of Harrisburg newspaper writers j
and editors of which Mr. Jones was]
four times president.
Musical Service
The body was taken from the home)
at 105 Locust street, to the church at)
1 o'clock. Between that time and the I
opening of the services at 2 o'clock,
there was an impressive musical
program. During this time many
of the state officials, depart
ment heads, elective officers and
clerks who had been befriended at
some time or another in the career of
the political writer and correspond
ent who called to pay their respects.
Dr. Hawes in his sermon touched
upon Mr. Jones' private and public
life which had been so much appre
ciated by hundreds of persons. The
Masonic service, Mr. Jones was a
thirty-second degree member, was
particularly impressive. The Grand
Army of the Republic, of which Mr.
Jones also was a member, was repre
sented at the funeral.
The pallbearers were George K.

by the Muzzle Club at a special meet
ing were adopted:
Whereas, through the death
on Saturday, November 24, 1917,
of Thomas M. Jones, the oldest
active newspaper writer in Har
risburg, his fellow members of
the Muzzle Club lost a loyal
friend and adviser whose manly
qualities, charm of personality,
devotion to his profession and
loyajty to his newspaper asso
ciates engendered in them a sin
cere and deep affection for him
and provided for them an ex
ample in their profession which
will inspire present and future
generations of newspaper work
ers to strive tor the highest
standards of journalistic ethics
in the Capital City of Pennsylva
nia, therefore,
Be it Resolved, That we, the
members of the Muzzle Club, as
sembled in special session on

record in the minutes of our or
ganization our deep-felt sorrow
at the death of a man who was
for four terms president of our
club,'and give expression to our
affection for the memory of a
genuine friend, valued counselor
and Christian gentleman, the in
fluence of whose life will con
tinue to serve as a guidepost to
ward the best ideals of the
journalistic profession; and
Be It Further Resolved, That
these resolutions be sent to the
widow as an evidence of our
sympathy for her in her hour
of deepest distress; and that
they be published in the daily
newspapers of Harrisburg.

Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 26, 1917.
Some Reminiscences
Many stories are now being told
of Mr. Jones and these relate not
only to his newspaper activities, but
to his life outside. Reference has
already been made in the Telegraph
to his co-partnership with another
newspaperman of the older group in
a long series of concerts and lectures
in the old opera house. He used to
narrate with great gusto some of
the experiences of himself and his
partner, especially their presentation,
of a great military spectacle by Con
terno's famous band. It was a pa
triotic affair and included a military
parade with all the local military
organizations, a battery of artillery,
a large local chorus and the other
details of such a spectacle. The con
certs were given on the old baseball
grounds in North Sixth street and the
two newspaper impresarios were so
delighted with the prospect of large
profits that they beamed for several
days. Great interest had been arous
ed in the event. Excursion trains
were run to Harrisburg and thou
sands of people were expected to en
joy the music. The opening night
was signalized by a street pageant,
including all the military compan
ies and a large barouche in which

rode Conterno and the two newspa
per partners.
Sidewalks along the route from
Market Square up to Sixth atid Ma
clay streets were packed with people
and It was the common remark dur
ing the ride to the grounds tliat
there would probably not bo enough
seats for the crowd. Alas, the crowd
remained on the sidewalks and the
concerts from n flnunclul point repre- i
sented a large failure because the
weather was too cold. Artistically, l
they were all that could be expected.;
A prominent trolley magnate was al-l
lowed to come In on the financial I
end and to this day he enjoys talk-1
Ing about that great (inancial oppor
tunity.
Another similar enterprise was the
bringing of Gilmore's famous band!
on one occasion when there was to |
be a great spectacle at Island Park.'
Again excursion trains were run and j
everything in sight as to seats and
concessions and carriage privileges i
had been sold. The prospects were ■
bright for a brilliant success. Gil
more was at the height of his glory
and he was then giving patriotic per-j
formances which involved cannon !
and other features. Too late to head ,
off the excursion trains and the
crowds, Gilmore's manager wired
from a city in Ohio that intense
heat had prostrated the leader and
half the band and the Harrisburg
engagement would have to be can-j
celed. This was not such a joke l
at the time, hut it always furnished I
Mr. Jones and his partner an inter
esting bit of reminiscence in later I
years.
ISrouglit Many Artists Here
But these occasional backsets did
not discourage the local impresarios.
They continued for a period of years
to bring the fnost famous bandmast
ers, singers and lecturers to rhe city.
These included among the band lead
ers, Strauss. Gllmore, Soura, Conter
no and the Royal Hungarian organi
zation. Nellie Bly, fresh from her
flying trip around the world, was
brought here soon after her return
and made a hit. 'Bill' Nye an! James
Whitcomb Riley also appeared un
der the auspices of the two Harris
burg newspapermen and for the first
time in their/ lives the two humor
ists made a record for the firvt
graphophone brought to the city by,
the executive clerk of Governor Boa-,
ver. Colonel Henry Waterson was
among the distinguished lecturers
and other men equally famous. |
Mr. Jones and his newspaper as
sociate, both on the Telegraph staf,
were so well known through their
•various band and other engagements j
that more than once they were em- '
ployed to conduct the publicity work
of other enterprises. They were
both identified with the tlrst and
only toboggan sl ; de in Harrisburg.
which was located at Third and
Reily streets. They soon found, how
ever, that the temperature of this
section was not conducive to a con
tinuous toboggan slide success, al
beit the slide was popular between
thaws. It was quite a common ex
perience with the toboggan slide to
have the schutes nicely filled with
ice and inviting to all tobogganists
only to discover that a warm zephyr
from the south had destroyed the
chances for reimbursement of pre-!
vious losses.
Had Many Inter*-; .
As already suggested, Mr. Jones
was interested in sports and fre
