SEALER TO TALK
BREAD PROBLEMS
WITH CIVIC CLUB
Mrs. William Henderson, Pres
ident, Invited to Speak on
January Is
BUY HEAVIEST LOAF y
Official Advice Theme For Dis
cussion Relative to Possible
Price Advance
BUY HEAVIEST LOAF y

City Sealer Harry d. Rec! has been
invited by Mrs. William Henderson
president of the Civic club, to discuss
Harrisburg's bread problem at the
monthly meeting of the organization
January 15.
"Tnstst upon having your bread
weighed - and then buy the
heaviest loaf"
That little solgan which the sealer
himself coined in his advice to house
keepers and others who do the fam
lily buying. will be the theme of his
talk before the City's progressive or
ganiEation OF women.
City Sealer Reels advice" to the
people via the Telegraph last evening
aroused all kinds of favorable COM
ment and the campaign which the
head OF the bureau of weights and
measures has adopted to forestall any
defense to support the talked-of raise
in price or reduction OF the, weight per
loaf early in the new year, was wide
ly mended.
Weigh Your Bread"
That the Civic club proposes to in
terest itself in the weigh your bread
movement was explained to-day by
Mrs. Henderson. For more than an
hour I talked this matter over with

airy l5," said she. The matter will

directors at its meeting January s.
The only thing I'm sorry for Is that
Mr.. Reel cannot give us the talk be-
fore the first of the year.
ITO my mind this is surely a mat
ter upon which the people should be
fully advised. Public sentiment, I've
always thought, can do a great deal
when once aroused.
Their Moneys Worth"
Weigh the bread before you pur-
chase and then purchase the heaviest
loaf is Mr.. Reels advice, That is the
surest way to bring about a solution
OF this problem. People wouldn't OBJ
gect to paying six cents for a loaf OF
bread IL they were getting a loaf thai
weighs sixteen ounces. I doubt il
anyone would object 10th price -
II one got his moneys worth.

Puttinu Out a Blaze.

Lancaster Herald: Last Wednesday
night Chief George Mccarthy, who
lives in the library building, discovered
that the furnace chimney was ablaze
and showering sparks over the roof and
down the side of the building. Mr..
Mccarthy picked up the Pyrene extin-
guisher which the night before had
been purchased by the city as first
aid in fire cases, and adjourned to the
basement. Noticing that the paper OH
the chimney in the library had COM
menced to scorch, Mr.. Mccarthy
squirted small quantity of the fluid
into the basement chimney fiue. The
Pyrene gas released from the fluid did
the work and in a short time Mr.
Mccarthy was able to return to his
slumbers and forget there had been a
possible chance of serious fire.

FEARED THROUGH LIFE
she'd Be BURIED ALIVE:
Strange Provisions Made In
Will of Woman.

Los AngeleS.-The will of Mrs. Laura
Hemans White, who died in Pittsburgh
nearly year ago, has been received by
Public Administrator BrysOn in view
of the distribution of the estate in Los
Angeles county. The city of Los An
geles desires to purchase property be-
longing to the estate, at 1921 Downey
avenue, now North Broadway, for
school purposes.
Before the deal could be closed it was
necessary to have the will, because a
clause bequeathes the property to Mrs.
Apollonia P. Melber for life. After
Mrs. Melber's death the property is to
go to Mrs. Katherine L. Hahn, niece
of Mrs. Melber and daughter of Victor
Hahn.
Because Of her fear Of a premature
burial Mrs. White provided unusual
means to determine that the spark
of life had left her body before it was
cremated. In her will she declared:
"Having been all my life subject to
bondage through fear of premature
burial l will my body be kept until
evident signs Of decomposition declare
themselves-at least a week-that it
be visited and carefully inspected three
times daily for which the person per
forming this Office shall. upon making
affidavit that it has been faithfully per
formed. receive the sum of $50. Just
before cremation it shall be stabbed
three times through the heart by
duly accredited physician, who shall
receive therefor the sum Of 500"
A trust provision prohibits distribu
ton of the estate for ten years. Among
the holdings are a Bakersfield ranch,
lots in San Diego and lots at Sunset
beach and La Canada park.

FIRST Time ON STEAM
CARS AT AGE OF 81
He'd Drive Any Place Where
He Liked Conversation.

Kansas City.-Not until his six-year-
old grandson took him in charge did
Peter Franklin McCubbin of Virginia,
eighty-two years old, ride on railroad
train. He passed through this city
recently with the grandson, Norris
Williamson, on the way to Salt Lake
City, where he will live with his
daughter, Norris mother.
At the Union station MI. McCubbin
showed a keen interest in things around
him and said he had enjoyed his trip a
great deal.
"It wasn't because 1 was afraid of
trains that I didn't ride on them," he
said. 81 just never had occasion to go
anywhere I couldn't drive.
81 raised a family Of eight children,
and, although they all insisted, | never
went to see any of them. They usually
came home once i year and saved me
the trouble. My wife travelled consid-
erably, considering, and one of my
daughters has been to Europe, but l
always got along fine on the farm.
When 1 got tired there | would hitch
up and drive to Pittsville, and if the
conversation there didn't suit me I
would drive over to Eldredge, twenty
miles away"
