Thin People Can
Increase WEIGHT

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10
or 10 pounds of healthy stay there"
fat should try eating a little Sargol
with their meals for while and note
results. Here is good test worth
trying: First weigh and measure
yourself. Then take Sargol-one tab
let with every meal-for two weeks.
Then weigh and measure again. 1t
isn't question of how you look or
feel or what your friends say and
think. The scales and the tape meas
ure will tell their own story, and many
thin men and women we believe can
easily add from five to eight pounds
in the first IA days by following this
simple direction. And, best of all, the
new flesh stays put
Sargol does not Of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, it aims to
turn the fats, sugars and starches of
what you have eaten, into rich, ripe
fat-producing nourishment for the It's
sues and blood-prepare 1t In an cas-
lily assimilated form which the blood
can readily accept Much of this nour-
lshment now passes from your body
as waste. But Sargol works to stop
the waste and do it quickly and to
make the producing contents of
the very same meals you are eating
now develop pounds and pounds OF
healthy flesh between your skin and
bones. Sargol is safe, pleasant, eff
Gent and inexpensive. John ]. Foley,
Harper house druggist, and other lead
ing druggists in this vicinity sell it in
large boxes $40 tablets to a package
on guarantee Of weight increase or
money back as found In each large
box.-(Adv.l

BORAH HOME CATCHES AFIRE.

Monday afternoon Mrs. Hal Borah,
residing at 348 East Hickory street
was visiting at her neighbor's, Mrs.
Ralph Place, who lives in the west
fiat of the big double house at the
Hickory street address. Mrs. Place
and Mrs. Borah heard a peculiar noise
and racket in Mrs. Borah's part of the
building but for some little time Meth
er paid much attention to it. Finally
Mrs. Place smelled smoke and opening
the bathroom door found it to be full
of smoke. An investigation disclosed
that the kitchen of the BOrah residence
was ablaze. A fire alarm was sent in
Immediately and in few minutes the
fire laddies were on the job. About
the same time Arthur Knapp, Jr, ar
rived on the scene with a couple Of his
little Pyrene fire eXtinguishers. The
fluid was played in the blaze and soon
everything was under control.
The fire seemed to have started from
a crack III the bricks of the kitchen OF
the chimney. 1t burned the jOists and
had started on the lath of the ceiling
also burning a small wall closet al
most completely 1t was necessary to
tear out part of the ceiling and part OF
the siding on the building before the
heat Of the blaze could be located. The
loss will amount to about 500 and for
a few DAYS Mr.. Borah and family will
take their meals with relatives.

THE ARCHITECTS
STORY OF THE
INNER WORKINGS
L. S. Beardsley, of New York,
Gives Description of Standard
Baking Company's Methods

Keen competition in the baking IN
dustry necessitates that in the build
ing of new plants every possible i'm
provement shall be made. not only
in the mechanical equipment, but also
in the layout of departments and in
the construction of the building hous-
ing the plant. Quality of product
must be not only maintained but bet
tered, and the cost of manufacture de
creased by application of system and
efficiency methods.
The large new fireproof plant of
the Standard Baking Company OF
Harrisburg, Pa, recently completed is
second to none in completeness and in
perfection of equipment in every de-
tail. The building, three stories and
basement in height, covers a plot
s1x153 and is located on one of the
principal arteries of the city. The
first story is arranged with large plate
glass windows. so that the hundreds OF
drivers and pedestrians passing by
daily may have a full view of the
machinery and ovens in the making
up room and bake room. The work
ing of the automatic machinery and
belt conveyors not only draws the at
tention of the public, but furnishes
convincing evidence that the automatic
manuftcure of bread without the
touch of human hands is not myth
but a reality.
This plant is one of the few to be
constructed of fiat slab reinforced con-
cretc. by fiat slab construction is
meant floor constructed with con-
crete slab from to 10 inches thick
with no beams or girders projecting
in the ceiling beneath. This slab ir
itself carries all the load to the &C
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-18

umns, which have a flaring cap, as
illustrated in the accompanying cuts.
The advantages of this type of con-
struction for a bakery building are
many. There are no beams or girders
in the ceiling to form dust corners, or
to interfere with the distribution of
light and no air pockets to stop the
free movement of the upper air cur
rents. The fiat ceiling affords maxi
mum freedom in the hanging of over
head machinery, conduits, or venti-
lating ducts. This construction also
affords greater freedom from vibra-
ton owing to the fact that any con-
centrated load brings into action the
reinforcement of a large area OF the
floor slab, which is not true of other
forms of construction.
Economy in the cost of this con-
struction over other forms of fire.
proof construction is not the least Of
the advantages. The fiat slab rein
forced concrete is about ten per cent.
cheaper per square foot of floor area
than the beam and girder reinforced
concrete, and about 40 per cent cheap
er than skeleton steel construction.
The exterior facing of the build
ing is of dark red brick laid up with
white cement joints, and trimmed with
light colored artificial stone. Large
fenestrations equipped with steel sash
and frames on all the four sides of
the building furnish an abundance Of
natural air and light. Double sash
are provided for the mixing and dough
rooms on the second floor to insure
uniformity Of temperature and 1u-
midity regardless of conditions on the
outside. There is a row of steel sash
extending up to the ceiling above the
face of the ovens of first story. The
sash are operated with n worm gear
and will take away the gases and heat
which comes from the ovens.
A glazed tile wainscot five feet six
inches high extends around the walls
of the entire first floor. The walls and
ceilings of the remainder of the build
ing are made perfectly smooth and
treated with a waterproof white ena-
mel paint especially adapted to with
stand the steam and acids of a bak-
ing plant
The stairs throughout are formed
of reinforced concrete or steel, with
wrought iron balustrades and the
stairway and elevator shafts are en-
closed with 1repoof walls and lire

A Trip Through Bakery
Is Eye-Opening Journey


You are invited to take a Journey
through the new baking plant of the
Standard Baking Company, which has
Just been completed at Tenth and
Market streets, to an inspection of
which the public is cordially invited.
This modern, airy, up-to-date plant
has been erected by the Graupners, at
an estimated cost of $16O, 900. Light
and air and cleanliness are the three
fundamental elements which have con-
trolled the thoughts of the builders,
and it is with a sense of defiling the
unspotted walls and the almost unbc-
licvably clean and attractive doors and
bannisterS that one is shown through
the plant by the genial and obliging
host. j. j. Horn, who is superintendent
of the entire plant. The company will
employ 80 to 40 men, most of them
Harrisburg boys, but as yet no conclu-
sion has been reached as to the nature
of the output, whether it shall be on Il
wholesale or Il retail scale,
The Standard Baking Company will
put two kinds of bread on the mar
kct. the STANDARD" which is n five
cent loaf, and the New Era" ten
cent loaf. They will operate two Ford
machines and two Overland delivery
iIbthS, lOSGlllGI Wlllr Twelve wagons,
the sort of delivery system which is
sure to give the best OF service. The
shipping department opens on Tenth
street and all delivery wagons are
loaded from that side.
A Few Salient Facts
But to get back to our journey
through the plant. First of all let us
preface our tale with the iteration of
81 Ial Sc
capable of putting out 10000 counts
per day, each count being a loaf,
whether il is rated at five or ten cents.
The laboratory that has been installed
VIII test every bit of material that is
used ia making the bread and safety
first will be the slogan used in the
preparation of all ingredients. More
over and this is a feature which will
appeal to lovers of efficiency and
hygiene - every employe will be re-
Quired to take at least one bath per
day, for which purpose modern shower
baths have been installed in a sep
arate room on the second floor. The
sanitation and Cleanly appearance of
the entire plant is one of it's strongest
assets. And now we're off!
Interesting Manufacturing Process
Let us mount to the third floor and
step into the storeroOm, in which
Illeen CdfiOadS OIL hour can he stored
and il additional amounts are required
under abnormal conditions, there is
still more space in another room
where the sacks of -four can be placed
ready for use. The bags are heaped
up in orderly array on automatic
trucks, sometimes called 'skids," ,"
which carry the flour over to the
sitter" where it is dumped and sifted
and then shot through an enclosed
elevator shaft TO the "blender" which
thoroughly shakes the -four and
makes it light. 1t is then transferred
to two bins, each with a capacity of
100 barrels, where the flour is allowed
10 rest for a certain number of hours
I'm order to regain its life"
In a small room just below on the
second floor is what is known as the

especially where the fountains are
few in number or unfortunately
closed. or in towns not supplied with
fountains or running water. Not
only will the animals benefit by
such acts Of kindness, but the pre-
sence of the water supply in front
of the buildings will stamp the
occupants as humane people. You
will feel we'll repaid by carrying out
this idea. TRY 1t

Fresh Water For Animals

Humane people can save animals
from great deal of suffering by
placing tank. tub or bucket Of
water in front of their residences or
places of business in summer, where
horses. dogs and cats can quench
their thirst. This humane idea may
be practised in cities, towns and
villages all over the United States
