.10MPER DAY DRAWS THOUSANDS TO PARK [Continued from First Page.] like indoor baseball with only one Base; rather resembling the old fame of "scrubby." The players sertainly put the old "pep" into their playing and had it not been for the restraining and guiding hand of Of ficial Meek, several beautiful young aomen would probably have hurled themselves prostrate on the ground in their earnest endeavors to throw somebody out. Anyway, they all en joyed it and Hamilton bore away the "bacon" in the first contest by the tremendous score of 87 to 45. Volleyball had its devotees also. The game which so charmed the mayor of a little Cumberland Val ley town that he invited several teams over just to play it for him, seemed to have the same pull upon the audience to-day. In fact, they got so close to the lines that they woiild have interfered with The ac tion had not the strong arm of the law pushed them back. It was a perspiration producing game and anyone would get hot from merely observing it. And the Mcrry-Go-Round One of the funniest sights of the whole day was the merry-go-round, which did not cease to revolve the entire morning. Grouped about the middle of the revolving apparatus were rows of little girls sitting like birds on a perch, and gazing down with pride and affection upon their willing i.ohorts of the male sex, who ceaselessly revolved about the lower portion of the affair faithfully pushing and pushing until they were nearly exhausted. A few bigger boys rode around without working, until shamed into industrious efforts by the rebuking looks and still more rebuking voices of the feminine con tingent sitting on high. "Fats Guards" Very Busy The guards had a terrible time keeping the crowd back from the tables, which were being set this morning with all the good things which usually go with a big picnic. This was free lunch, provided for by a trust fund which the late Samuel Kunkel left. And from the looks of the long tables, which did their proverbial groaning under the weight of many good things, there are going to be many profiteering "tummies" to-night. -'With eager and impatient looks the little fellows crowded against the ropes, waiting anxiously for the word which would admit them to their portion of the feast. Each playground had a big sign up for its section of the tables. The menu was to consist of thou sands upon thousands of beef sand wiches. bananas, sweet cakes, pickles, and the like. The ice cream was the gift of Eli Hershey, who gave each kiddie a big plate with a heaping portion of cream on it. The remarks (lew fast and furious as the hungry crowd with difficulty held it3elf in. You Say It! "Hi, Chimmie, lookut 'at the buncha bananas. I bet I ken eat more'n you.' "Aw, betcha can't. Gee. looku thuh pickles. I'll tell the Woild I'm gonna get outside of some of them." "My goo'ness, Gertie, didja ever see so much ice cream all to onst in your life. Int all for it. ain't you?" "You said it!" And when tho youngsters finally wore admitted and fell upon the food there was the sound of a mighty ocean as glass after glass of lemonade found its resting place In many an enger-to-be-fllled stom ach. No cases of acute indigestion have been reported vet, but the druggists are stocking up on soda mint and castor oil in preparation. The food for the lunch began to ar rive early and was a source of eager interest on the part of the boys and girls who lingered around the delivery trucks as they hove into the park. The lunch materials included 3,600 beef sandwiches. 3.700 pickles. 4.000 ba nanas. 10.000 cakes. 1,200 lemons. 300 pounds of sugar, 300 pounds of Ice, for the making of 225 gallons of lem onade, and last, but by no means least, 3.600 ten-cent bricks of Hershey's ice cream. The cream was the gift of EH N. Hershey. former president of the Harrisburg Rotary Club and head of the Hershey Creamery Company, who sent a detail of men to the park to see that it was properly served. Needle Work Splendid The exhibition of sewing, knitt ing. and crocheting was really very fine. All the girls of the play grounds who have taken an inter est in this work under the supervis ion of Miss Caroline Hatton survey ed their efforts with great pride to day as they listened to the admiring comments that were passed by everyone who wandered into the pavilion to look them over. They are surely a credit to the instruc tor. After they could be pried away from the tables and the last mor sel of food had disappeared, the crowd assembled at the play festi val grounds, north of the band stand. There the junior boys' inter playground contests were held, in eluding potato relay races, leap frog contests, rescue races, and oth ers of like sort. Folk Dancing Pretty At 2 o'clock began the folk dance festival, In which several hundred girls took part. Everything from an Irish lilt to a Kamarinskaia. what ever that Is, was danced and danced gracefully. The folk dancing has always been one of the rr \. "It is easy," said the boy. "Why I have been in Washington, Balti more and Philadelphia and made the round trip and never got caught. J know the trains and when I find a crowded car there are always two seats ready for me. Sometimes I get into a mail car and hide under mail bags.' Dominick was well treated here. The hat was passed at the station and enough money secured to pay his way back home. On his arrival in New York city he will be turned over to nn officer. He was given his dinner by the matron, Mrs. Mars- K. Kennedy. On his way to the train he shouted: "Look out for me, I'll be back soon. I'll have a r.ew place to hide." Mary Blasko, 1063 Ninth street, fell and fractured her arm. Little Miss Blasko was the victim of some super enthusiastic soul whose appetite sur passed his more considerate qualities with the result that he pushed the girl under the table in his wild scramble for food and fractured her arm. She was treated at the Harrlsburg Hospital. MARKETPROBLEMS TO GET EXPERT STUDY [Continued from First Pago.l 1 offered in the stores and the city markets. The survey will consist of the es tablishing of a city market map, showing the locality of all the pub ,.lic markets, the wholesale and re tail food dealers, cold storage plants and railroad and trolley terminals. Marketing experts will study the mu nicipal regulations covering licenses and food protection measures and all phases of inspection and standard ization of foods. Study Supply Source The direct study of the market will include the sources of supply of both shipped goods and that brought to the local market from sur rounding districts. The standard of quality demanded by the whole salers and the consumers will also be studied and a careful investiga tion will be made into the percent age of waste due to deterioriation. The cold storage situation and the demands and the buying habits of the consuming public will also form an important part of the survey. Following the survey the Bureau of Markets will recommend to the city authorities any changes that they may feel will benefit both the farmers and the consumers of the city and will recommend anv changes that they feel will be of benefit to the wholesale and retail food dealers of the-city. Director Smith has done splendid work with marketing problems for cities in Connecticut and the New England States and many policies which he has recommended have been fol lowed with splendid results in some of the larger cities in Connecticut. Secretary of Agriculture Fred Uasmussen is much interested in the market survey and says that while it may take considerable time for a complete study, Ilarrisburg is being taken as a representative Pennsyl vania city and that both the farmers and the consumers will be benefited. The market survey work will ex tend throughout the State following the work in Harrisburg. Director Smith will be one of the speakers at the meeting of the officials of third class cities at Allentown and sur veys for other cities will be outlined at that time. It is part of the move of the Department of Agriculture to have uniform marketing conditions throughout the State, as far as pos sible, so that co-operatiye'marketing associations of farmers can supply any market with carload shipments that will meet the standards of the various communities.

OF C. OUTING NO PLACE FOR TROUBLE [Continued from First Page.] place is yours, who wants a program anyhow? Most picnic programs last about three and one-half minutes at most, say the Chamber of Commerce members, and George S. Rcinoehl and Warren R. Jackson found no one mak ing any criticksm of ihe lack of a formal speech of welcome and all the conventionalities which are sometimes attempted. The crowds started from the city shortly after noon In automobiles and there were plenty of cars and plenty of members on hand to fill them to capacity. They expect to get back someMme during the evening but the way things were going this afternoon it began to look as though" some of them preferred camping for a week's outing. Lunch Attracts Many After indulging a few hours of sport the crowds began to wonder about one of the most important things at every picnic.—the lunch table. The commit tee on "cats" did Itself proud and some of the members will have band ages on their arms judging from the handshakes they got to commend them for the luncheon. It was served in the usual Chamber of Commerce outing style, "come on, you hungry hordes, if you don't get your share don't blame George." Mercer B. Tate was chairman of the committee to arrange for the pic nic, and anyone who has been on a Chamber outtng knows Just what Mer cer's ability Is to start things. He didn't have the crowd there two min utes before he hgd everybody step ping around and ready to go in for anything. George N. Barnes, Boyd M. Ogelsby, Martin W. Fager and Frank J. Brady, also noted outing experts, had a string of stunts and tricks to keep the merriment on the increase. FINE AND PRISON FOR PROFITEERS [Continued from First Page.] fixing power to President Wilson was eliminated upon the suggestion of the Attorney General, who told the committee that such power was "inapplicable in the present fight against high prices." Retailers, previously exempted under the act, now are liable to prosecution for violation, but farm ers and farmers' co-operative asso . ciations are exempted. The amendment probably will be considered by the House to-morrow. Attorney General Palmer said there was evidence that the govern ment campaign to reduce the cost of living already was bearing fruit. "We want to make clear, how ever," the Attorney General said, "that nothing we can do can change the immutable economic laws on which prices depend. If we can in crease the supply by greater produc tion and lessen demand by greater saving on the part of the people, then the cost of living should come down. We can help that along by forcing hoarders to put on the mar ket food held out for an advance in prices.' The Attorney General and Judge Ames, his assistant, drew distinc tions, which they said the public should recognize, between hoarded food and stored food. The former is held out of the market in greater quantities than required for the owners" business for the purpose of forcing up the market. The latter is surplus being husbanded from the harvest to the lean season. Cardinal Gibbons Scores Profiteers Cardinal Gibbons was in Philadel phia on a short visit to Archbishop Dougherty, and declared "the Gov ernment is doing exactly right in go ing after the food profiteers." Cardinal Gibbons had been the guest [of Martin Maloney at Spring Lake, N. J., for two weeks, and was on his way home when he stopped off to visit the archbishop. "All profiteers should be punished, without regard to how powerful or how small they are," declared Cardi nal Gibbons. "The merchants and dealers can be expected to make a fa(r profit, but those who take ad vantage of the times and conditions and ask and receive'more than a fair price for their goods should be pun ished." He continued: "Profiteerir.g can be justified by nothing and should be stopped immediately, by as dras tic measures as are at the command of the Government." Going After "Little" Hoarders as Well as Big By Aaitociatrd Prcaa. Washington, Aug. 21.—At the sug gestion of Attorney General Palmer, the House Agricultural Committee decided not to exempt retailers doing a business of less than SIOO,OOO from the anti-profiteering sections in the Food Control act. This means, as Mr. Palmer told the committee this after noon. that the Government will be able to "go after the little fellows as well as the big ones." The penal ty of two years' imprisonment with an alternative fine of $6,000 will thereby be Imposed on all offenders, and this will be applicable to the corner grocery store as well as to the great packers. RRTLItV INDICTMENT By Asaociated Prcaa. Cleveland, Ohio, August 21.

The fli ers also found the Mexican federal column under General Pruneda, near Cu'chlllo Parcdo, and reported the location of other small bodies of Carranza troops.

Carlisle Hospital Will Not Be Closed in October; New Staff to Take Charge Residents of Central Pennsylvania and those who have relatives or friends now being treated at the United States Army Hospital at Car lisle. will doubtless be interested to know that this hospital will not be closed on October 15th, as has been rumored. When this rumor came to the atten tion of Congressman Krelder. he inves tigated it and found that this hospital was scheduled to be closed not later than October 15. Owing to the number of patlepts now being treated at the hospital and the numerous requests for transfer to this hospital of men who wish to he treated there, so that they will be near home, Mr. Krelder felt that it was not an op portune time to abandon the Carlisle Hospital. He therefore consulted with Surgeon General Ireland and as a re sult, he was to-day Informed that the hospital would not be closed. The present staff, personnel, etc., will likely be discontinued, but will be re placed and the hospital continued. This method of handling the situa tion will permit the continued treat ment of those patients who desire and whose relatives and friends desire them to be there and at the same time re lieve those of the present personnel who desire to be released.

NERVOUS, TRY PHOSPHATE Nothing Like Plain Bltro-Pbonphatc to I'iit on Firm, Healthy Flesh ■■ml to Increase Strength, Vigor n nil Nerve Force When one stops to consider th host of thin people who are searching continually for some method by which they may increase their flesh to normal proportions by the filling out of ugly hollows, the rounding off of protruding angles with the at tendant bloom of health and attract iveness, it is no wonder that many and varied suggestions along this lino appear from time to time in publia print. While excessive thinness might be attributed to various and subtle causes in different individuals it is a well-known fact that the lack of suf ficient phosphorous in the human sys tem is very largely responsible for this condition. Experiments on hu mans and unimals by many scientists have demonstrated beyond question of doubt that a body deficient in phosphorous becomes nervous, sickly and thin. A noted author and profes sor In Ills book, "Chemistry and Food Nutrition," published In 1918, says: ••• • • that the amount of phos phorous required for the normal nu trition of man is seriously underes timated in many of our standard text books." It seems to be well established that this deficiency in phosphorous may now he met by the use of an organio phosphate known throughout Eng lish speaking countries as Bitro- Phosphate. Through the assimilation of this phosphate by the nerve tissue the phosphoric content when absorb ed in the amount normally required by nature soon produces a welcome change in our body and mind. Nerve tension disappears, vigor and strength replace weakness and lack of energy, I nnd the whole body soon loses its ugly hollows and abrupt angles, be coming enveloped in a glow of per fect health and beauty and the will and strength to be up and doing. CAUTION:—WhiIe Bltro-Phosphate Is unsurpassed for the relief of nerv ousness, general debility, etc., thoee taking it who do not desire to put on flesh should use extra care in avoid ing fat-producing foods.
