FOOD TO GO ON SALE IS FRESH BY TEST [Continued from First Page.] 'orlity is sold out, the committee will secure additional supplies from other flrehouses. On the success of 'his sale will depend another order for goods. There is a big supply on at Baltimore and Philadelphia and the local committee will get in communication arid endeavor to get another big supply. It is probable that the next ship ment will include cocoa, at 12 cents a pound; oatmeal, soup beans, vege table soup, chicken soup, clam chowder, tomato soup, assorted soups, rice, macaroni, tea, coffee, sugar, cucumber pickles, sweet po tatoes, pumpkin, squash, tapioca, lemon extract, flour, jam, pepper, toilet soap and pineapple. A second supply will depend largely on the success of the sale that starts to-morrow. If the peo ple of Harrisburg want goods at a low cost and will support the efforts of the local committee. Mayor Dan iel L. Keister will do everything in his power to get any commodity the Government has to offer. There will be other things offered. Tlids are now acceptable for bitum inous coal, telescopes, saws, claw hammers, keyhole saws, drilling machines, motors, boring machines, laboratory outfits, cord wood, meat hooks, long-handled coal shovels, steel cots, bench hatchets, curry combs, escort wagons. Other cities are making bids for these articles. Buffalo and several cities are ask ing for prices on shoes, socks, shirts, hlgnkets, towels, underwear, overalls and other household necessities. These will have to be purchased by bids, but, it is understood, may be had if a price has been fixed. If the first sale of food is satisfactory, and a second order is filled, Mayor Keister will take up plans to get anything else. In the meantime, any firm interested in articles for which bids are being received can se cure information from Lieutenant J. it. Boyle at the Reserve Depot. There has been some criticism of Mayor Keister's food committee for alleged failure to act promptly in the purchase of government food stuffs. A member of the committee stated to-day that no criticism of this sort was justified, inasmuch as the prices first quoted on the gov ernment stuff was too liiyh to jus tify handling in competition with the local dealers. Indeed, he said, there would have been no advantage whatever and no saving. "Now we can offer the food in first class shape," he concluded, "at bargain prices. We shall be ready for the public at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning at the several flrehouses and are prepared for the big rush." Chaplain Harry Bassler has sub stantial evidence of the fact that the canned food which is about lo be sold is first class and will meet the requirements of every good housewife. He brought back from the fighting front in France two cans of cornbeef which were among supplies captured from the German army. These cans had been pui chased in America as early as -1907 and 1908 and are in themselves proof of the preparedness of the Prussian government for the great war which did not start until the summer of 1914. Lieutenant Colonel Ed. Schell, who is one of the active spirits on Mayor Keister's committee and whose large experience as a quar termaster in the Army admirably fits him for the work he is under taking in behalf of the community, declared at the Hope Fire Engine house to-day where preparations are being made for the first sale to-morrow, that the people could absolutely depend upon the quality of the goods which will be sold. Cases of canned tomatoes, corn and other vegetables are all stamped "October, 1918," and as the canned goods sold in the best groceries must necessarily have been prepared for the trade last year there is no rea son to doubt the quality of the gov. ernment food now being resold to the people, especially as this is the i same food which would have been 1 served to our fighting forces In France hud not the war ceased. 8 of Every 1,000 Yanks in France Were Killed or Fatally Wounded Washington, Aug. 14.

Advice to the Lovelorn SHAM, SHE GIVE HIM UP. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am nineteen and have been going about lor the past year and a half with a young man three years my senior, to whom I am engaged. Re cently my mother has taken a dislike to him and commanded me to give him up. This I would not do, despite the arguments and "fights" we have had concerning him. I have told him what my mother says and lately it has changed him toward me. for previous to my telling him this, he always showed that ho loved me dearly. • Now. Miss Fairfax, I cannot give him up, because he means too much to me, and 1 could never find another to take his place. He has suggested that we part for a while in order to see if we really and truly love each other, for I have been seeing him from three to five times a week all along. We did not expect to be married for a year at least. I am brokenhearted and T cannot attend to my duties at the office or sleep at night, worrying over it. BROKENHEARTED. You seem to be in a very painful situation, and T sympathize with you, but it is difficult to give advice with out knowing more about you all. For instance, your mother must have some reason for her dislike of the young man. Is it a good reason? If no serious charge has been made against him, it is. of course difficult for you to give him tip. or it would be if he didn't himself suggest separation. After all. if you do both truly love each other, your love will stand the test of temporary separation. Let that encourage you. lIOW I.ONG IS AX EVENINGf DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: To avoid many rows at home with my parents please let me know wheth er it is wrong for a girl of twenty when going out with a respectable young man (absolutely good com pany! to come home at 1 o'ctock. It happens that whenever I have had a. real enjoyable evening my father waits for me, watch in hand, only to create trouble and give me a scolding. I am simply disgusted. Many a time he has insulted my friends just be cause he wants me to come home at II o'clock. B. F. There is only one thing to do, while you make your home with your par ents. which is to accede to their wishes. It is not unreasonable to ask a girl to come home at It o'clock and 1 o'clock is surely a very late hour. For the unpleasantness that you refer to I should say that your parents were by no means wholly to blame. THEY DO NOT I.IKE HER DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am an attractive girl of eighteen and quite popular among both sexes. My onlv distress is the house in which I live. My friends are all refined, and immediately after being escorted home by them I lose them. Please. Miss Fairfax, advise me whether I should urge my parents to move to better surroundings, as they can well afford it and wisli only my happiness, or should 1 give up my men friends? If your home is neat, and you can help to keep it so, I see no reason why you should lose friends on account of your home. I am sure you will agree with me that the friends who would come to-see you because you lived in a fashionable neighborhood would not bo worth keeping. T have known girls who lived in very large, well-furnish ed houses, who were far more lonely than those across the street in small er ones. Learn to make your friends welcome at your home at any time and do not let them think that you yre ashamed of It. I am sure that the friends really worth having will soon flock arcund you.

Uncle Sum has had stolen from him since he assumed control of the railroads something like 170,000,000 worth of merchandise from freight cars in ter minals and in transit for which the shippers and consignees must be re imbursed. About 115,000,000 worth of freight of this amount was stolen from ears while they were in and around New York City. According to officials of the secret service of the United States Railroad Administration a great part of the stealing is done by organized bands !of car thieves whose machinations are carried on by a systematic process I that would do credit to a legitimate ; business of great magnitude. The | goods stolen were everything that s ! shipped by freight. The stolen goods 1 are handled by "fences" in the prin j cipal cities of the country and ar ! tides stolen at one point are almost i Invariably shipped to a near point i and sold. Of course to conduct this wholesale thievery it is necessary to have a certain number of railroad employes in on the deal. According to secret service officials these em ployes are found among a low class of laborers, a great majority of whom are of foreign birth. In some in stances which are rare, a carload of merchandise is stolen when the aid cf billing clerk or a train crew can be secured to divert a car from original • destination.
