Classifications to Be Re

Major W. Of. Murdock, the state
draft registration officer, has called
upon employers throughout Pennsyl
vania to notify local draft boards as
soon as a registrant who secured u
deferred classification because of his
employment leaves his service.
Major Murdock says there has
been brought to his attention the
fact that many registrants who have
secured deferred classification by
reason of industrial claims made at
the time their cases were passed up- 1

HARWSBURG TETJEGIdPH
iPOTATOES HELD
BY FARMERS NOW
FLOOD MARKET
Prices Way Down and Grow
' crs Arc Sure to Be
Big Losers
The present supply of old potatoes
| which the government is urging the
■public to consume in preference to
j the new ones which aro now coming
j in is the result of the refusal of the
I farmers to ship stocks last fall.
I Provision merchants and commis
sion men declare that the farmers
ir*e now paying for their folly/
"The Federal Food Board's appeal
to the public to eat potatoes is all
right, but it has come too late," said
P. Willis Holden, a large New York
provision merchant. "The public
must take advantage of the low price
of potatoes to save wheat, of course,
but whether this will be_ enough to
savq last year's potatoes from rot
ting on the farms is another mat
ter." ,
What the public can consume be
tween now and May. 15, when old
potatoes will be out of season, is only
a drop In the 2 bucket, so far as
saving the potato situation Is con
cerned.
The great influx of old potatoes Is
keeping down the price of new ones,
which are coming in from Florida at
tho rate of twenty carloads a day.
The present price, $5 a barrel of
three bushels, is ruinous to the farm
ers.
The Florida farmers expected at
least a barrel. Last year at this
time they were getting from sll to
sl2. Their season ends on May 25,
and there is no hope of retrieving
their losses.
Last year's potato crop was huge.
There were 4 40.000.000 bushels of
potatoes on the farms last fall, and
the farmers held thyn for higher
priees. Allowing 100.000.000 bush
els for seed it meant that every
member of the potato-eating popu
lation of the United States had to
consume five bushels between No
vember 1 and June 1.
The result is that this year's po
tato planting is 80 to 40 per cent
less than last year's. The banks
are reluctant to linance this year's
crops-
Pie Is Given Smashing
Blow on Top Crust
Reading, Pa.—Pie, one of Berks
county's most hallowed and cherish
ed dainties in matters culinary, was
hit a staggering blow on the crust
when local Food Administrator Da
vies announced that hereafter the
crust will have to include 33 1-3 per
cent, of wheat substitutes. He ex
plained that pie lias fallen under fed
eral disfavor because of the large
amount of fats and wheat that are
used in its making.
Mr. Davies says that all pies will
have to conform to the new rules
and that there will be drastic pun
ishment for violations. Bakers al
ready are protesting that good pie
cannot be made with 33 1-3 per cent,
of substitutes in the crust- Mr. Da
vies replies that this will accomplish
the very purpose sought—to discour
age the baking of pie.
Notice is given that Ice cream
cones, pastry of all kinds and fried
cakes of all kinds, battel- cakes, waf
fles. etc, are Included in the new
ruling. t

ENROLLMENT OF FARM
BOYS MAKES PROGRESS
Enrollment of boy farmers is mak
ing progress, says L. H. Dennis, the
Public Safety Committee's director of
farm service. In Harrisburg a fund
has been raised to provide free
transportation .to State College for
recruits who the training
camp there on 30. Wllkes-
Barre and Scranton each have 140
boys enrolled. Six new counties
have just applied for camps. Ad
ams county wants two and Dauphin

boys will b$ used during the orchard
season, but In other counties their
services are wanted much earlier.

SUGAR IS FOOD
Sugar is a valuable food, a power
ful stimulant, and a great producer of
heat and nerve force.
Arctic explorers, and other persons (
who have to do very hard work un
der extremely trying climatic condi
tions. invariably develop an Intense
craving for sugar, and eat enormous
quantities of it*
The Klondyke miners even sweeten
their salt pork with it. and it has
been found that those who eat large
quantities of sweets do twice the
work of men who let sugar alone.
The Italian Alpinl soldiers, who are
called upon to march and fight nt
nigh altitudes, carry a liberal supply
of sugar in their kits whenever pos
sible. Negroes in the harvest fields
iron- fat on sugar cane, although j
their diet in other respects is neither j
varied nor abundant.

Women Find C
\
In Simple Laxative -■
MOM of f*laa modesty often prevmt. women Iran
admitting that many of her ills and disorder* are due primarily
v to constipation. >, j-.
But women who know themselves have learned that head- '
ache remedies and beautifiers only cover the trouble but do i
not dislodgV lit.
What is needed is a remedy to move the bowels and stir
up the torpid liver. An ever-increasing number of sensible
women take a small dose of a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and
sold by druggists under that name.
It will save a woman from the habitual use of headache
remedies, skin lotions and similar makeshifts. Once the
bowels are emptied and regulated, the headache and the
pimples and blotches disappear. It is the rational, natural
• method. ' • J
A bottle of Syrup Pepsin lasts a family a long time; and
all find it from time to time. Thoughtful people
are never without it in the house.
The druggist wilt refund your money if it fails
