ti iinS'ifaMaMf papers generally
refer to the fact
that on May 30 he will be presented
with a sword in his Home city of
Easton are contained in a statement
issued to-day by Governor Brum
baugh.
The statement praises the general's
service and refers to the fact that
his predecessor. General Tasker H.

ing come from Lewisburg.
The Governor's statement is as fol
lows:
"Pennsylvania enjoys the proud
distinction of having had as chief-of
staft" of the National Army, General!
Tasker Bliss, a native of Union coun- I
ty, who has recently been succeeded j
by General Peyton C. March, who
was born in Easton, graduated from i
Lafayette College.
"General March will return to his'
home city on Thursday evening. May :
30, and the citizens of Easton on that j
evening will present to him publicly |
a sword as an expression of their ]
affection and respect for a most dis- j
tinguished citizen, and on the fol-1
lowing day his alma mater, Lafay-j
ette College, will confer upon him the |
degree of Doctor of Laws.
"The occasion is of such unusual'
importance at this time that I am i
glad to make proclamation to the i
reoi<le of the Commonwealth of this
important event and to suggest that;
wherever people assemble on that
(iav and generally in the newspapers
of Pennsylvania, reference be made;
to the fact that a Pennsylvania sol
dier. now i hief-of-staff of the Na
tional Army, has returned to our'
Commonwealth to receive distin-1
suished honors, and to cite his ex- j
ample of highminded patriotism and '
constant endeavor as an inspiration 1
to all our citizens."

will be more or less restricted move- j
ment of racing horses, it is believed i
at the Capitol, but local horses will!
have more of a chance on the tracks. |

■ "and other preservatives in a state- |
ment issued to-day by Dairy and j
Food Commissioner James Foust. j
The commissioner has brought a t
number of suits in the last few years I
against sellers of such preparations j
end says that as the canning and j
preserving season will soon begin <
people should be on their guard I
lasainst compounds which contain l
j boric acid and other chemicals for- j
| bidden by state laws. "Surely no j
I housewife wants to use a prepara- |
jtien that is prohibited in scientifl-J
jcally conducted food establish-!
ments," says Mr. Foust. "Fake com- I
| pounds are sold under various |
j trade names and may be the cause •
iof sickness among children months j
iafter they have been put into cans!
lor jars. Chemical preparations are,
not necessary in canning operations." |
More Smallpox.— Increase of .
| smallpox cases has been so general |
in vicinity of labor camps and in I

i c-ians to use the greatest care in dl
ognosing ehickenpox and smallpox. 1
Some cases have been reported I
| which were called ehickenpox, but
which turned out to be quite the op
posite. There has been more small
pox in Pennsylvania this spring than !
