TThis Is the Season to Preserve
Fruits and Vege

The Bureau of

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 last
Legislature gave the Insurance Com
missioner supervision over all in
surance rate making bureaus and
the State fund at the present time
is permitted to write compensation
insurance 10 per cent, less than the
mutual and stock companies. 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-

For Skin Tortures
v
Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using Zemo, obtained
at any drug store for 35c, or extra large
bottle at SI.OO.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. It is easily
applied and costs a mere trifle for each
application. It is always dependable.

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. Another
short detour on the Lincoln High
way is that between Abbottstown
and Thomosville, in York county.
Other detours in Pennsylvania are
as follows: York and Cumberland
counties, on Routes No. 123—Be
tween Shephcrdstown and Dills
burg; Lawrence county, on Route
No. 77—From Moravia to Willow
Grove; Mifilln county, on Route No.
33—-Newton Hamilton to Mount
Union; Chester county, on Route
No. 13 7—Downingtown; Dauphin
county, on Route No, 199—Rift to
Schwahns Mills; Columbia county,
on Route No. 4.—Bloomsburg Bor
ough; Montgomery county, on Route
No. 158, —Gratersford to Trappe
Borough; Huntington county, on
Route No. 46—Near Markleysburg.
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.
"He once told me that there wetc
a lot of things in his life he was
ashamed of. but I didn't ask him
what they were." Pittsburgh

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. The man who is
digging the deep well whipped ü
boys with a buggy whip because we
threw sand in his machine and
made black and blue marks on it
