since July 1 report. August 1 re
*\ port indicates 90 per cent, of a nor-
Tnal yield, or 15.4 bushels per acre
which is a little over an average
crop. On this basis, considering the
large acreage, the total production
will appropximate 29,040,000 bush

estimated at 26,024,000 bushels.
Rye—Prospect of rye is estimated
At 92 per cent, of ftormal, or 17.3
bushels per acre. This indicates

bushels compared with 4,676,500
bushels last year.
Oats—Due to weather conditions
the sowing of oats in Pennsylvania
a long period this year. It
was begun in the southern counties
* in March and was not completed in
the northern counties until after
the first of June. Much of the oats
was damaged by storm just before
harvest. Reports on August first
show 86 per cent, of a normal crop,
indicating an average yield of 31
bushels per acre and a total pro
duction of 35,145,000 bushels. The
191S crop was estimated at 44,103,-

Corn—Conditions were not good
at planting time and the corn got
a poor start. Since that time con

Splendid Way To
Reduce Y our W eight
There is perhaps no one thing that
so plainly shows the passing of our
youth as the horrible tendency to put
* on too much weight after we have
reached the age of 25 or 30 years.
However young our faces may appear,
the sagging, llabby figure and forty
inch waist "gives us away."
The cause of this over stoutness is
that our stomachs convert the food
we eat into fat because there is not
enough oxygen in the blood to pro
duce a proper combustion to destroy
the excess fatty tissue. Fat people
will be pleased to learn of a simple
home method that is wonderfully ef
ficient in reducing weight, quickly
and easily without a starving diet,
f violent massage or strenuous exer
-1 else. Go to any drug store and get
a box of Phynola; take five grains
after each meal and at bed time. This
treatment will often give quick re
* lief from overburdening fat. Phy
nola taken at meal time assists the
stomach In giving you the benefit of
the food you eat; at the same time
dissolves the fatty tissue from anv
part of the body where there is exces- i
sive fat. By this method many have
reduced their weight a pound a day
and there is no flabbiness left. Gorgas,
the druggist, stores. 16 N. Third st.,
3rd and Walnut sts. and Penna. R. R
Station, George's Drug Store, C. Kei
ler's Drug Store can supply you with
the genuine Phynola at small cost.
BEST THING FOR
THIN PEOPLE
Women Need It to nring Pink Glow
of Health to Pole Cheek* and Fore
stall l'ell-Tale l.ine* of Age. Men
Need It to Make Strong. Vig
orous Bodies and Steady
Nerves.
Judging from the countless prepa
rations and treatments which are
continually being advertised for the
purpose of making thin people fleshy,
developing arms, neck and bust, and
replacing ugly hollows and angles
t by the soft curved lines of health and
beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel
their excessive thinness.
, Thinness and weakness are often
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is con
tained in modern foods. Physicians
claim there is nothing that will sup
ply this deficiency so well as the or
ganic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which is in
expensive and is sold by most all
druggists under a guarantee of sat
isfaction or money back. By feeding
the nerves directly and by supplying
the body cells with the necessary
phosphoric food elements, bitro
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance;
* the increase in weight frequently be
* ing astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness. sleeplessness
and lack of energy, which nearly al
ways accompany excessive thinners,
should soon disappear, dull eyes
ought to brighten and pale cheeks
glow with the bloom of perfect
health.
CAUTION: Although bitro-phos
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
sleeplessness und gen
eral weakness, it should not, owing
' to its tendency to increase weight,
be used by anyone who does not de
sire to put on flesh.
TUESDAY EVENING,
casts an average yield of 20.6 bush
els per acre and a total produc
tion of. 6,525,000 bushels. LasW.
year's crop was estimated at 6,191,- !
600 bushels.
Tobacco—Condition on August 1
| was 93 per cent, of a normal indi
] eating a yield of 1,4 70 pounds per
acre, and a total production of 55,-
639.500. The production last year
was estimated at 55.007,400 pounds.
Hay—The acre of hay cut is esti
mated at 3.167,700 acres which is
i a decline of one per cent, from last
i year. The average yield per acre
■ is placed at 1.4 0 tons and the total
• production 4.430,100 tons. The
I average yield last year was estiniat
led at 1.35 tons per acre and the
I total crop at 4,343,260 tons.
Potatoes—Condition of potatoes
!is estimated at 84 per cent, of a
, normal crop which indicates an
; average yield of S7 bushels per acre
! and a total production of 24,862,-
| 800 bushels. The crop last year was
j estimated at 24.733.200 bushels.
Minimum Rate Killed.—The Pub
; lie Service Commission in an opin-
I ion handed down to-day decides
i against the monthly minimum of
j each charged the residents of Lans
i ford. Coaldale, Summit Hiil and
| other communities in the Panther
j Valley by the Panther Valley Elec
! trie Company. Under the old tariff
j the charge was made for actual cur
| rent consumed with an added charge
I for meter service when the amount
j was lower than one dollar. The com-
I pany did not base its schedule on
| the necessity of earning more money
!in order to declare a reasonable
| dividend and the commission there
fore considers that the returns un
der the old schedule are adequate,

Federal Budget,— "Our govern
! mental business is the most care
, lessly run in the world Let us have
I a Federal budget as a relief from
; the evils of the present utter lack of
i system." This was the plea for
| governmental economy made yes
' terday by Governor Sproul in a
| statement specially prepared for the
National Budget Committee. The
! Governor heartily indorsed the com
| niittee's plan to secure the adoption
iby Congress of a national budget
! system. He based his belief in
• budgetary reform upon the experi
ences of the State in handling mat
t ters of departmental finance. In
| Pennsylvania all appropriation
l measures are handled by appropria
; tion committees of the two houses
which co-ordinate their efforts with
i the Governor und with the fiscal
officers of the State.
-New Compensation Cpsts The
cost of operating the new compensa
tion law passed during the last ses
sion will be about 20 per cent, av
erage In the mining industries, 39
per cent, in manufacturing indus
tries and about 25 per cent, in con
struction work, according to figures
| compiled from statistics based on ex
; perience by E. H. Downey, the State
compenation rate expert. According
to tne same authority the average
increase cost of the operations of tne
law will be 30 per cent. The ad
vance in death benefits will be ter.
per cent., permanent disability 30
per cent., medical costs 50 per cent,
and temporary disability costs 40 per
cent. The figure are only approxi
mate and will vary in individual
cases, especially where safety devices
have been installed, where in a num
ber of instances the rates unques
tionably will be lower than under
the old law. The increase in mine
rates will be due to the larger num
ber of accidents in the mines last
year caused by efforts to stimulate
production for war purposes and the
large number of unskilled nten at
work. Another factor is the pre
ponderance of married men in the
mines now paused by the enlistment
of many single men for the war who
have not yet been discharged and
the return of others to Europe, It
is expected that the aceident figures
for this year will show a decrease
and that the rate will be adjusted
gradually over a period of years to
meet the better conditions.
Oil Company Complains—The At
lantic Refining Company, of Phila
delphia. has filed a complaint against

tration and the Pennsylvania Rail

order 28 of the director general of
the railroads of $6.50 per car.

possible 200; a first class marks
man 150, and a second class marks
