W. F. McXaughton, 32 8 Main St..
Steelton. Pa., says: "I have used the
Man-Heil Inhaler two months for
Hay Fever and tightness in the
throat, having been a sufferer for
two years. The Inhaler is the only
relief I have ever found, although !•
have tried many remedies. I have
been able to go to work every day
durirrg the extreme llay Fever sea
son. This I consider has paid for
the Inhaler many times, as well as
prevented much suffering. I was
off from work in 19i3 just 21 days
suffering from Hay Fever: sat up all
night, could not lie down, was so
short of breath. This year the In
haler has allowed me to go on just
like the rest of the family. I will
always be glad that I read the ad
vertisement of the Geo. A. Gorgas
Drug Store and investigated the
Man-Heil Automatic Inhaler. This
letter can be published, as I want to
help others as I have been helped."
The MAN-HEIL AUTOMATIC
INHALER is relieving thousands
who have been unable to obtain any
other relief. It is really the most
logical and practical way of treating

struction of tive steel buildings for
storage of the automobile trucks and
other motor equipment for road
building given to the State by the
War Department from army surplus
stores, which are now stored in Capi

Organization of the new tank
battalion of the Pennsylvania Na

Guard officials are seeking infor
mation about officers and men
trained to tank service. Col. Joseph
H. Thompson, inspector general of
the Guard, who graduated from the
tank instruction school in France, is
taking a big interest in the forma
tion of the new arnv of the State

General Price has asked that men
experienced in this service and de
sirous of entering the Guard com

officers believe that the total num
ber of hunters licensed this year will

given for tags, but men have been
hunting with white bandages or

of lack of the tags.

Capitol yesterday.
Immediately upon the filing of
complaints by the cities of Erie and
Corry against the proposed new
rates of the Pennsylvania Gas Com
pany for gas. the Public Service
Commission last night ordered a
hearing to be held here next Friday.
The Commission issued a statement
in which it said: "The Commission
has for some time been investigat
ing the rates and service of this
company in connection with its
general investigation relating to the
conservation of the natural gas sup
ply of Pennsylvania. As the com
plaints have been filed prior to the
effective date of the proposed in
crease in rates (November 2), the
burden of proof at this hearing will
be upon the company to show that
the increased rates and that the rcw
classifications and regulations are
just and reasonable and in conform
ity with law." The new rates filed
provide for a rising scale of prices
in blocks of 5,000 feet.
These commissions have been Is
sued to Dauphin county notaries pub
lic: Clarence H. Whireman, Harris
burg; E. L. Baumgardner and Mrs.
A. M. Mowry, Hershey.

Will Banish the
Old Milk Pitcher
As a result of an investigation
made in restaurants an 4 hotels in a
dozen cities of the State, there will
shortly be issued from the State Bu
reau of Foods a requirement that all
milk be furnished in bottles instead
of being poured from a pitcher into
a glass or a cup. In numerous in
stances the State agents found that
the milk supplied did not contain
the required butter fats and that
there was also contamination fol
lowing handling.
In some instances the milk was
found to have been watered while
in others it was manifest that in
pouring from the original container
the butter fats had collected in a
mass at the top and left the rest of
the quantity short of the legal re
quirement of 3*4 per cent The so
called "top milk" was rich enough,
but the rest some times got the own
ers of the hotels or restaurants into
trouble.
Director James Foust, of the
Foods Bureau, who plans this move
to banish the old time pitcher from
the boarding house table, says that
he will request persons in charge of
public eating places, hotels, cafes
and the like to adopt the method of
serving in bottles and that he will
ask the next Legislature to require
it.
Moore Will Sweep
the Quaker City
The Philadelphia Inquirer to-day
says:
"A complete collapse of the Charter
Party political fiasco was evidenced
yesterday. It resulted from a refusal
of Republicans potential in their re
spective ward organisations to follow
a cause which they know is destined
to defeat.
" 'All deals are off," was the trite
way in which a practical politician
expressed it last night, and he added:
'Everybody that knows anything
about the game knows that Moore is
going to be elected Mayor next Tues
day and that the "big fellows" that
were defeated at the primaries have
told hi m they are for him and they
are going to make good because they
cannot help themselves.
" 'The "little fellows" have sized up
the situation and are going to vote
the straight Republican ticket for
their own protection.'
"A stampede to the Moore band
wagon has set in."
New Jersey Profits With
State Boxing Commission
New York, Nov. 1. —Evidence of
the immense popularity of profes
sional boxing in New Jersey is fur
nished in the annual report of the
New Jersey State Boxing Commis
sion for the fiscal year ended Sep
tember 30. This report discloses that
the state across the Hudson receiv
ed a revenue of J50.629.09 through
its tax on all fistic activities up to
September 30. Another medium re
flecting the increasing interest in the
strenuous sport is the addition to
the number of licensed clubs. The
boxing commission, careful in its
distribution of the necessary permits
during the early career of legalized
professional boxing in New Jersey,
has not sanctioned the applications
of more than twenty-five clubs
throughout the state, and at every
meeting further applications for
licenses are under consideration.
Newark and Jersey City, natural
ly, are the leading centers of boxing
in the state.
