GOVERNOR SEEKS SUPPORT
FOR AGRICULTURAL BILL

Governor Brumbaugh to-day made
the following signed statement re-
garding the administration bill for the
reorganization of the State Agricultur-
al Department:
"House bill 839, introduced by Mr..
Whitaker, is measure to simplify
the administration of the Department
of Agricultp re and to increase its ef-
fcieney to THE farmers of Pennsylva-
MIA. The measure is in fulfillment of
platform pledges and of the universal
ly recognized need of such central
government in agriculture as to avoid
duplication of effort and of expense in
administration.
''It proposes to give maximum
service in the field with minimum
expense for administration. The bill is
in harmony with modern business
methods. 1t legislates no one out of Of
fee. 1t repeals no laws affecting our
agricultural interests. 1t will make a
professional board of administration,
composed of the commissioner and the
bureau heads. 1t will continue to con-
duct demonstration work under the
ten demonstrators now provided. 1t
will remove all investigations of a
scientific character to the State Col
lege, where such work belongs and
make for our State an administrative
agency of great power and capacity.
"The bill should have the cordial
support of all friends of agriculture
in the State. NJ. G. Brumbaugh."

guished. The rain gave the fre-ns ut
ers the opportunity to head off the
flames at various places, and before
the night was over they had the fire
entirely under control.
In several parts of Dauphin county
towns reported slight damage due to
the storm, trees being felled and some
of the crops, especially wheat, being
damaged.
The storm was central over Pcnnsyl-
vania and Southern New York State,
but only was felt at given points. Dur
ing the short time that rain fell one
inch was recorded in Harrisburg. The
river here rose two-tenths of foot.
The only other Susquehanna river sta
tion reporting rise was Towanda,
where an increase of the same amount
was recorded, showing that some points
along the river escaped the heavy rain.
According to Forecaster E. R. De-
main, the hot spell will continue for a
few more days. Reports from other
stations show that cities along the At
lantie coast are having higher tempera-
lures than the inland cities. About s
o. clock this morning Boston reported
II degrees, while the temperature here
was degrees lower at that hour.
The intense heat mad its effect on

If Too Fat Get
More Fresh Air
Be Moderate in Your Diet and Reduce
Your Weight With Oil
of Korein

Lack of fresh air weakens the oxy-
carrying power of the blood. the
liver becomes sluggish, fat accumulates
and the action of many of the vital Or
gans are hindered thereby. The heart
action becomes weak, work is an effort
and the beauty Of the figure is de-
stroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life is unhealthy
and if nature is not assisted in throw
ing it off by increasing the oxygen
carrying power of the blood serious
case of obesity may result.
When you feel that you are getting
too stout, take the matter in hand at
once, don't wait until your figure has
become a joke and your health ruined
through carrying around burden of
unsightly and unhealthy fat.
Spend as much time as you possibly
can in the open air, breathe deeply, and
get from any druggist box of oil of
korein capsules; take one after each
meal and one before retiring at night.
: Weigh yourself every few days and
keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal. Oil of korein is abso-
lutely harmless, is pleasant to take,
helps the digestion and is designed to
increase the oxygen-carrying power Of
the blood.
Even few days treatment should
show a noticeable reduction in weight.
There is nothing better.-Adv.

this proverb be put into action by the
removal of all garbage, rubbish, refuse
and useless matter, by attention to all
drains, sanitary conveniences, sewer
connections and the like, that the
physical appearance of the borough be
improved, the health conditions made
more wholesome. that we may have a
"spiek and span" borough in which to
take more pride; and,
Whereas, The health authorities are
expected to inspect the yards and eel.
lars of all houses during the month of
May; therefore
I. Fred Wigfeld, Burgess of the bor-
ough of Steelton, do hereby appoint
May to May 16, inclusive, as a
"eleaningup period" and as well call
upon all property holders and tenants
to take such measures in the set time,
as may be necessary, to improve the
general appearance, to bring to light
the natural beauty and to care for the
public health.
