Food needs care in cold weather as
well as when the mercury hovers
around the tcrrid mark. Impure air is
eontaminating and dust contains all
manner of dangers. Impurities are
carried from one food that has lost its
freshness to another and decay starts
and makes headway in a wonderfully
short time.
The truth about right housekeeping
is that prevention is far better than
cure. Pure air, sunshine, dryness and
quick removal of all questionable arti-
cles are the chief essentials to whole
some conditions in every part of the
| house, particularly in the food storage
places. This is so because bacteria and
mold, thrive in darkness and dampness
and because they cannot live in sun
shine and fresh air.
Some foods have finer flavor when
they have aged for a time. Meat is
sometimes allowed to Rng until a
'gamey" taste is apparent, cheese is
kept until certain ferments give it a
desired odor and character, but it is
hard to tell when the line between
harmless ripening and hurtful decay is
passed and sometimes food becomes dan.
gerous before any outward signs are to
be seen. Ptomaines are substances that
are given off by harmful decomposition
and case after case of food poisoning
is traced to stale, badly cared for food.
No one knows how these poisons are
developed but we all know how serious
thing ptomaine poisoning is The
greatest caution should be observed in

HOSPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
TO Be made IN ANY event
If State Refuses Money Harrisburg
Institution Must Get 1t From Some
Other Source, Says Superintendent
w. M. Condor

Needed improvements to the Harris
burg hospital for which application has
been made to the State Board of Public
Charities and which have net been rec.
ommended by the board will be made
even if the. State does not appropriate
money for that purpose, according to
w. Nj. Condor, superintendent of the
hospital.
The State Board has recommended
to the Legislature that $4,000 be ap-
propriated to the Harrisburg hospital
for maintenance only, clipping $4,000
from what was asked. An additional
$500 was sought for needed imrrove.
ments which include items of $500
for tiling dispensaries, new operating
room, laundry machinery and $4,000
for fire doors.
THE improvements are needed for
the safety of the PATIENTS said Mr.
Condor, ''and we win carry them
through. Wen have to get the money
some place if we have to go to the pub
lic to get it. The fire doors have been
ordered installed by the State Depart
ment of Labor and Industry"
The recommendation of the State
Board of Charities is not final. Bills
for the various appropriations will be
introduced singly in the Legislature
and that body may see fit to give the
local institution some money for i'm
provements. The Governor, however
has the last say ON appropriations and
his final cut generally brings the tota
on charity appropriations to within q
few thousand of the recommendation
of the State Board.

terday morning when Mabel Weinrieh,
white girl, aged 21, approached him
and asked for license to marry
" Bill'' Hill, negro, aged 35, who ac.
eompanied her. The father of the girl
was also present and said he approved
of the marriage. Register Seltzer re-
fused to issue the license, and the cou-
pie secured the assistance of several
lawyers, who visited Register Seltzer,
but did not succeed in swerving him.
The father of the girl lives at Ire

and expressed his indignation in loud
words that he had lost days work.
Public sentiment sustains Register
Seltzer. One of the county Judges who
was consulted about tying the knot ex-
pressed his opinion that recent United
States statute prohibits such marriages.
