Kingan Finds City Ideal
as Distributing Center

For some time the local Chamber
of Commerce has been pointing out
the advantages of this city as a dis
tributing center for large manufac-
turers. and one manufacturer that has
proved to itself this claim is the
kingan Provision Company, who a
few years ago selected Harrisburg as
an ideal center for the distribution of
the products of its large plant in In
dianapolis.
Under competent management the
local branch has developed in few
years time from a small agency to an
extensive business located at 421 to 425
South Second street. Through rail-
road facilities right at their door they
have their own line of refrigerator
cars delivering dressed meats and
products to an overhead track system
by which they are conveyed into auto
matte refrigeration with enameled
white walls and electric illumination,
permitting dealers to inspect and pur-
chase under pleasing, sanitary condi-
tions.
Then. too, there are other depart
ments for housing smoked meats
such as hame, bacon, shoulders, and
sausages, balognas, cooked meats
canned and potted meats. butter. lard
and other products of the company
all of which are made under Govern
ment inspection.

many people seem to think miracle

the cure must be given entirely to that

Blockade Is Expected
to Elicit An Immediate
Declaration From Greece
BY .4ssoeiated Press

London, Nov. 22.-The rumors of
last week that the entente allies had
determined TO compel Greece to re-
pudiate all hints that she might inter-
fere with the passage of allied troops
across her territory have been sub
stantiated by the inauguration of a pa
cific blackade. This measure is eX-
pected to elicit an immediate declara-
tion from the Greek Government, de-
filming its intention clearly without fur
her hesitation and ambiguity.
Some dispatches from Athens go so
far as to say this already has been at
tanned as a result of Earl Kitchener s
conference with King Constantine. and
that the Earl received assurances of a
satisfactory nature. The British Gov
ernment, however, has not yet tnti-
mated that Greece has complied to the
demands of the allies.
Greece is described as prey of con-
flicting emotions-fear of Germany.
whose military successes have brought
the Balkan war theater nearer, and
her natural sympathy for the cause
of the allies-dictating opposite paths
out of her present difficult neutrality.
Some Greek newspapers regard the
blockade of Greece as a violation of
international law. 1t has caused a
profound impression, upon which i'm
mediate action is predicted.
For the time being. military opera
tlons In Southern Serbia have been
almost suspended. This is regarded
in England as an encouraging sign for
the Serbians and their allies, in view
OF the fact that few days ago a Bull
Sar1an advance from Prilep to Mona
stir appeared certain.

To Make Skin Clear

Don't worry about skin troubles. You
can have a clear, clean complexion py
using a little zemo, obtained at any
drug store for 25c, or extra large bot

Zemo easily removes all traces of
pimples, black heads, eczema, and
ringworm and makes the skin clear
and healthy. Zemo is neither watery,
sticky nor greasy and stains nothing,
1t is easily applied and costs a mere

Statement of the Health Teacher:
The cure of this little boy, while in
deed remarkable, is but one of many

1t is rarely, however. that q tapeworm
