2 NEW SHOPS WILL TAKE PLACE OF ONES DESTROYED Destruction ot Buildiugs at I-alance-Grosjean Company Will Not Cause Idleness Modern, fireproof structures will be built at once to replace the ma chine shop and blacksmith shop of the I.alance-Grosjeau Manufactur ing Company. Bark lane, nea.- Sixth street, which were destroyed by fire early last evening, it was announced by John Grey, local manager, after the fire. An investigation is being made to determine b..v tne lire started. The fire has not interfered with the operation of the remainder of the plant and none of the employes lias been thrown out of work, Mr. Grey said. Ten men were employ#! in the two shops, and will be given work in other parts of the establish ment. The fire started about 6 o'clock in the machine shop, a frame building N about 80 by 30 feet, along the north wail. Due to the oil aud grease about the building, the flames burned fiercely. The blacksmith shop adjoined the machine shop on the south, and was completely de stroyed. Idwal Richards, who was working in the building at the time, discovered the fire ani ran to the conspany's office and summoned Hie Camp Curtin Fire Company. There was not enough pressure for the company's hose to render efficient se-vice against the flames. The box alarm was followed bv a eral alarm, nearly every company in .the upper part of the city re sponding. Wilbur Stoner. of the Camp Cur tin company, was overcome by smoke and was resuscitated by arti neial respiration and to his home. During the fire workmen continued their routine work in oth er departments of the plant, and operations were resumed without interruption to-day.

USUAL DROP IN COAL PRICES IS * NOT ASSURED ; Local Dealers Fear April Re ductions Will Not Mate rialize This Year Information received from Potts : ville this morning is to tjie effect : that the usual reduction of fifty | cents a ton for anthracite coal on I April 1 will be made by the 'bpera . tors this year. Thereafter the price 1 will increase ten cents monthly un f til the regular prices are reached. Uocal dealers said they have re -1 ceived no information regarding the j customary decrease in price, and look for none immediately. Accord ing to them, there is not a great surplus of coal, but rather a de creased demand. They say the j mines are not working more than ! half their capacity to produce an thracite. t'oal prices no longer being regu ! lated by the Government, neither , dealers nor operators are obliged to ; conform to war-time prices. The independent coal producers, as an example, who during the war were ullowad 311 additional seventy-five cents a ton over the prices received , by those producers affiliated with i common carriers, are said to be sell j ing their coal for a prige which does , not include the seventy-five cents ' allowed for freightage. This is be -1 cause the demand is not great ■ enough to allow them that addition ' al charge, it is said. Dealers could predict no change ' in coal prices aud were not pre -1 pared to-day to tell what changes the immediate future will develop. The clearing house established for , war emergencies by the Fuel Ad ministration and dealers will auto ! maticallv cease to function with the i end of the Fuel Administration, it ' was said.

FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS TO BE WAGED HERE j Campaign lo Begin in Public Schools Among the . ■ ChildreiC . . I An active campaign against the' spread of tuberculosis Is to be in i auguraled by the recently reorgan ised Anti-jTuberculosis Society ot llarrisburg. Miss Rlcliardella Gibson. ; of Baltimore, an experienced social and tuberculosis worker, has been selected to act as executive secre . tary to direct the work in this ter- J ritory. In explaining the broadening of ' the worh of teh society. Miss Gib : son saysj "The support of the work previously done by this organiza tion has come from the Red Cross I sales, but this year on account of the many war activities, the seal sale was eliminated and the roll call sub- I stituted." Under this arrangement. Miss Gibson tells that several hun dreds thousands ot dollars more j than ordinary has been set aside for expansion in the anti-tuberculosis work. This sum. she says, haa been paid to the National Tuberculosis Association to aid in carrying on the work of itself and co-operating so cieties. It is the general conception of those in authority that preventive measures of modern medical science can become effective, on a large scale only through very general and very , thorough popular education, Miss ! Gibson tells, an dadds that it will be with education that the local so- I ciety will deal principally within the next several months. It will be confined for the first few , months to the public schools of this 'territory, where the modern health j crusade movement will bo instituted. The crusade will supply the child ! with a motive for patient work in acquiring good health habits. Miss Gibson explains. The abstract ad vantages of health and the truths of phjsioiogy.will be explained. "It holds up to them the chivalry of health and gives them something j to do and honors to earn with vis ible rewards," Miss Gibson believes, j "The strain and cleptivations ot war | have increased its ravages." the I workers explain. The Law and The Name The name of the new table luxury ' which bids fair to replace dairy but , ter in many thousands of families is ' Benefit Brand ":<weet Nut," but the i ltw passed before it was invented. requires that the word "oleomargar ! ine" be placed on every package. | Such is the law, but an point of fact the new table luxury is very different j from ordinary oleomargarine. Jn the i first place, it contains no animal fats I or preservatives of any kind except ; high-grade salt. It is made entirely from appetizing natural foods we 1 especially like to eat. The crisp, white meat of the coeoanut and pas teurized milk are inviting ingredients. In the second place, you cannot dis tinguish it when served from the best creamery butter. Its price is a daily economy—3sc a pound. Sold only at Tameui Tea Co., 331 Market St., up 1 flight. Harrisburg, where Benefit I Brand Teas, Coffees and Grocery Spe- Icialties are retailed at wholesale prices. __ # Look for our store in vour town.
