and Pershing to Limit

Washington, Dec. 14.-More indi-
cation of the unreserved character
of the support put behind General
Pershing and Vice Admiral Sims by
the Government came with the pub
licaJion of the following order is
sued by Rear Admiral McGowen,
chief of the bureau of supplies and
accounts of the navy, to his organi-
Zatton:
"Requisitions, requests and recon-
mendations from Vice Admiral Sims,
senior naval officer in command in
Europe, are to be acted upon the
same day they are received, and un-
less there be some insurmountable
obstacle in exact agreement with his
wishes; that is to say: When prop
orly have any discretion in the prem
iseS, ii is to be understood that that
discretion has already been eXer-
cised when Admiral Sims wishes be-
come known.
Advice of action taken will be
immediately cabled to Admiral Sims
III every case"
Somewhat similar steps have been
taken in the War Department with
relation to recommendations from
General Pershing.. An officer of the
general staff has been detailed to
check up every day on the progress
teing made by any bureau with the
filling of any order. In addition a
special committee of the staff acts
as g priority board to forward ship
ments.

DIR. DIXON URGES
DIET SELECTION
Says That Food Administra-
tors Should Not Make Too
Hard and Fast Rules

Food administrators should be lib
eral enough in their regulations for
the foodstuffs of communities to
meet the physical characteristics of
.he individual because all persons
can not thrive on diet which may
appear suitable. declares DIR. Samuel
G.. Dixon, State Commissioner of
Health, in a week and health talk"
in which he remarks that the people
of Pennsylvania eat too much pota-
to and that the foods which are to
be recomme ended should be consid-
cred from q laboratory standpoint
as well as from the fact that what
is one mans meat is another mans
poison.
DR.. Dixon's talk, which is one of
the strongest he has ever delivered
on the subject of war, health and
diet, is as follows:
Most of our foodstuffs are made
up of different constituents. A po-
tato is largely composed of starch,
whereas beefsteak is largely COM
posed of nitrogen or protein. Starch
represents so many heat-producing
illllSs anu beelSlCdh llhG"loS piO-
duces it's own quota.
This is so when you consider the
matter from a laboratory standpoint,
but If you made test of the same
values by feeding these foods to hu-
man beings, you would find the val
ues varied greatly because of the
variations of the human or organic
machinery which handled them.
Starch. for instance, in the cases of
inI through fha
digestive system without the body
assimilating it and obtaining the ad-
dition of its heat units. In the cases
of ether individuals, the same thing
would happen with beefsteak.
For this reason we must remem-
Der, when advising foodstuIt for a
community, that what is one man $
meat is another mans poison. Ehus
it behooves those who have the pow
er to regulate foodstuffs for a COM
muity to be liberal enough in draw
ing up their lists to meet the de-
mands of the different capabilities of
the digestive system of the different
individuals. In other words, one
capable of making rational selec-
ton must have thorough know
ledge of the physiology OF 1000
stuffs.
The people of the State of Penn
sylvania eat too much potato. The
large proportion of starch in me
composition of this vegetable pro-
duces a catarrhal condition OIL the
digestive tract, which interferes with
digestion and leaves the patient in
sufficiently nourished, eventually
over long series of years produc-
ing starvation. -, ~ .o4o,,
Meat. as a rule is also over-eaten
by Pennsylvanians. Just now, how
ever. during the tension of war we
need more meat than usual. q,
''It should also be kept in MIND
that meat will be more easily pro-
duced during the war than will veg
etables, for our trouble will be the
want of male help to carry OUT the
continuous demands occasioned by
the cultivation of vegetables during
aIl stages from planting to gather

measure take care of themselves

serve Militia. Some of the new units
will be mustered in before the close

To Group Complaints-Plans are
being made at the Capitol to group

merous street car complaints, but

offices. The orders were made in
complaints by the Lancaster Auto
mobile club, of Lancaster. The
Mannheim and Lancaster Turnpike
and Lancaster, Petersburg and Man
helm railway are ordered to have
the whole turnpike resurfaced and
to provide guard fences; the Lancas-

SPECIAL POLICE
NAMED FOR WAR
No More Commissions For
One Year Are Likely Under
the Latest Ruling on Hill

All men appointed hereafter to
the Pennsylvania volunteer police
under the act of 1917 will be COM
missioned for the period of the war.
The appointments made for the fif-
teen counties wherein men have been
commissioned were for one year
only, but under a recent ruling by
the attorney generals department it
has been held that the Governor has
authority for the war. The act pro-
videS that such policemen may be
named only during the war with the
Germans and their allies and that d
limitation of one year was not con-
templated by the act. The new COM
missions are being prepared and the
next list of names to be approved
will be for the duration of the war.
AS the powers of the policemen have
been defined by the statute enacted
this year it is not thought that there
will be any interference with the
proposed Reserve Militia or the
home defense organizations which
have been formed in many cities and
boroughs and which are now being
listed by the adjutant general to-
gether with the police forces, regu-
lar and special and emergency, of
all municipalities.
Thus far there have been over
1400 volunteer policsemen named
for the war, Allegheny having more
than any other county. Commissions
have been issued for 474 men for
Allegheny and more are in prospect.
These men are all named by the
Governor after being approved by
the county and State Public Safety
committees.

boards unless on agricultural or in
dustrial grounds.
To Equnlize Drnft-Steps will be
taken Immediately by state officials
to bring to attention of the provost
marshal general possibilities under
the plan of calling men from classes
to fill draft quotas. To-day Major
w. G.. Murdock, the draft officer,
wrote to Adjutant General Beary that
there was danger in filling quotas of
exhausting the first class, which is
composed of Americans with no de-
pendants or very few, and not talk
ing many from other classes. He
holds that there should be some plan
evolved whereby the drafting could
be distributed.
To Test Law-Plans are now being
made at Scranton for a test in the
courts of the Baldwin insurance rat
ing law. which is a recent enactment.
1t is claimed at Scranton that it is
discriminatory.

signed by the State Department of
Agriculture. The Institutes will be
annulled during holiday week. but
will be resumed about the first of
the year and run until the middle of
March.
Special attention is to be given
by the speakers at the Institutes to
the Importance of soil conservation
and various cereal crops. The ques-
tions asked of farm advisers last
summer and at the last months in
stitutes have been carefully gathered
and studied and will be presented for
general information. Inquiries are
also to be made as to local labor con-
ditions so that when the crisis comes
next spring in the farm labor situ-
alton first-hand information may be
available for the state and public
safety committee authorities.
Feed the Birds-Dr. Joseph Kalb-
fus, secretary of the State Game
Commission, to-day urged farmers
and sportsmen to take measures to
feed the birds. winter has come
early and the weather is so severe
that 1 hope the sportsmen and farm
ers will provide food for quail l
think these birds have proved their
value as insect destroyers and it
should be realized that If We want
them next year we must feed them
now" said he. Game wardens have
been ordered to preserves to pre-
pare for the winter care of the wild
animals and birds and to arrange for
propagation.
To Ask New Bids-Bids will again
be asked by State Highway Commits
sioner O'Neil on work for which no
tenders were received or were too
high 1t is the plan to have the
work undertaken in the spring and
meanwhile the commissioner is ask
ing various counties to arrange for
joint work next year.
To Arrange Show-Plans will be
completed tonight at a meeting at
the State Department of Agriculture
for the midwinter agricultural and
horticultural show under joint aus
pices of the state and various agri-
cultural and allied organizations. An
effort will be made to get together
prize corn, apples, potatoes, wool and
other products of Pennsylvania farms
this year, the show to be held during
the meeting of the State Board of
Agriculture, the State Horticultural
Society and various breeders, vegeta-

to raisers' organization and the new
