MARKET BUREAU . GIVES ADVICE TThis Is the Season to Preserve Fruits and Vege tables The Bureau of V\ \ Markets of the v\,\\ Pennsylvania De- Vv\N\3 yS Partment ofAgrt _? culture sends out the following forecast regard- I\ ing t£ie su ppi> as l o£ nearby fruits IgUlOJiOylalfc and vegetables jf for the present "Most house wives find It necessary to use canned vegetables and fruits during seven months, or approximately 200 days of the year. Be sure to take ad vantage of the abundant supply of seasonable vegetables which farm ers are bringing to the markets ail over the State, and have your pan try and cellar shelves well filled. The fact that you never have canned dried sweet corn nor put up toma toes for frying is no excuse for not doing so now while those products are plentiful. There are so many different ways of using tomatoes, beans, corn, onions, beets, cabbage and cucumbers that none of the present good crops should be al iowed to waste. "Check up your present preserve supply with the following estimate of what a family of five, two adults and throe children, can use during 200 days and see the necessity for canning the fresh products now In season: 140-175 quarts of veg etables such as tomatoes, corn, peas, beans, etc.: 105-130 quarts of fruits and preserves: 30-40 quarters of jel lies and relishes; seven bushels of white potatoes; four bushels of oth er root vegetables. "The delicious Seckle and Bart lett pears which are equally good for canning and eating, now are ripening. In addition to these, the Maiden Blush and Summer Rambo apples, the early plums arid the Belle peaches are available in good quantities." Insurance Conference—State In surance Commissioner Thomas Donaldson has c alN.d a conference of tlio representatives of the stock and mutual insurance companies op erating in Pennsylvania and mem bore of the State Insurance Fund for Philadelphia next Wednesday to discuss the retention of the ten per cent differential in State Workmen's compensation insurance.

The State fund now has as much busi •ness as the older insurance com panies, the premium income amounting to about $2,500,000 a year and the surplus $2,000,000. The insurance companies contend that the State fund will become a domi nant factor in compensation insur- MRS. LEWIS OF BROOKLYN Tells How She Was Made Well by Lydia E.

Probe Taxi Service— The Public Service Commission has authorized Commissioners Samuel M. Clement, Jr., and James S. Benn to investi gate the auto-bus and taxicab ser vice in the City of Philadelphia. Unless a company or individual holding as a common carrier of per sons has been engaged in the busi ness prior to January 1, 1914, the effective date of the Public Service Company Law, it is necessary, in order to operate legally, to apply for and secure a certificate of public convenience evidencing the approval of the Commission to such operation. All such common carriers whether having been in operation prior to January 1, 1914, and therefore not requiring a certificate of public con venience or operating under the certificate of the Commission, must file in the Commission's office and post in a conspicuous place in such auto or taxicab engaged in public service, a complete schedule of all rates chaVged, whether by taxi meter or under special terms such as the hourly or trip rates. No rates can be charged by a taxicab or other common carrier other than the filed, posted and published rates, and any company or individual found guilty of disobeying this stringent provision of the law is sub ject to the penalties provided by law of the imposition of a fine or under the recent Act of the Legislature of having the license issued by the State Highway Department, re voked and canceled. Various cases of exorbitant charges by taxicabs in Philadelphia have been brought to the attention of the Commission and it is for the purpose of correcting this evil and*protecting the traveling public from being charged unreas onable rates that the investigation is being made. More Detours The State High way Department to-day announced a list of additional detours which with the detours announced in the labt two weeks comprises an almost complete list of the detours on the main thoroughfares of Pennsyl vania. A short detour has been cre ated on the Lincoln Highway in York county at Hallam. This de tour is 2.1 miles in length.

Pennsylvania Tours The State Highway Department has received requests from a great raanv Penn sylvanians who asked that they be given information concerning week end trips through the mountain and resort regions of Pennsylvania. The Department has these requests un der consideration and it is likely that within a short time a number of three-day trips will be an nounced. September and October are Pennsylvania's best tourirg months. Coal Clauses Up—ln refusing to strike out the rates of the Public Utilities Company 1n dismissing the complaint against it filed by the Slate Belt Electric Company, the Public Service Commission goes at some length into contracts based on coal clauses as they apply to public service rates. The coal clauses were brought about by the war with its rapid iluctuations of fuel prices and were perfectly proper In the emerg ency. the Commission holds, but says with the return of price sta bility they have almost passed out of tariff structures. While the Commission does not hold them now to be illegal "it says there no longer appears a reason for their re tention they be superceded by more definite rates carried Into tariff schedules and calculated to produce the required revenue." The rates of the Pennsylvania Utilities Com pany are pronounced "Just and reasonable." A TALE OF A TAIL A little girl who loved animals came home accompanied by a stray dog. "Why, Cissy," said her mother "that dog isn't yours. You have no right to bring him home." "Well, mamma, pleaded Cissy "he didn't belong to anybody any more than the flowers. I can pick flowers—wild ones—and keep 'em and the doggy was just like tbe flowers, so I came along and picked him." At this point the dogr turned round and displayed a noticeable lack of tail, whereupon Cissy's small brother broke in with, "Why didn't you pick a longer stem?"—Omaha News. TIIRUST AND PARRY Pangs of jealousy were in Miss Coldfoot's heart when she heard that her late admirer had ben ac cepted by Miss Lovebird, and when she happened to run across her In the bargain rush could not resist giving a thrust. "I hear you've accepted Jack," she gushed. "I suppose he never told you he once proposed to me." "No," answered Jack's fiancee.

HAVING A GOOD TIME What constitutes recreation de pends, of course, on the point o' view. Here is that of a certain small citizen in a school for do pendent children. He wrote to his father thus: "We are having a good time here now. Mr. Jones broke his leg and can't work. We went on a picnic and it rained and we all got wet. Many children here are sick with mumps. Mr. Smith fell off of the wagon and broke his ribs, but he can work a little.
