grower for considerable time to come.

less than same period 1915 and 10000
more than corresponding time 1915.
Cattle.
Cattle were rot overplentiful and
this is holy week.
The trade had its uneven spots, as
has been the case in recent weeks ana
some wide variance in prices for like
qualities of plain and medium steers
was shown. These grades are dress
ing so poorly buyers are skeptical in
bidding for many OF them. and espe
cially where cattle carried a lot of
mud. bids were far apart, buyers be-
ing better guessers on the weight and
probable dressing condition of the
steers than Of the amount of mud they
had on them. Where heavily mud
coated steers were found most of them
had bids at strong discount, tho some
good quality weighty steers carrying
thirty to forty pounds Of mud to the
head were taken freely, which evil
denced keen need for that grade Of
beef despite the handicap in dressed
weight making.
Reports are coming from the north
west that indicate serious winter cattle
losses. The big outfits have been hit
hardest, as they were unable to close
herd and feed. Mortality estimates
range from % to 40 per cent. These
cattle can i'll be spared their loss
meaning further depletion OF def
cient beef supply. At present prices
winter care OF cattle is money well In
vested.
Texas is dry and can not furnish a

shambles prematurely. East Of Chi
cago little winter feeding was done,
altho packers are securing that terri
tory for material TO ease their needs.
OF course. there will be cattle at the
market, but the excess over actual re-
Quirements that breaks values will be
missing.

Weak nerves rob men and women
OF all the joy of life and quickly re-
duce the strong and robust to q condi-
ton which is pitiable in the extreme.
This condition is brought about slow
~ and stealthily in the majority of
cases. and the poor sufferer fails to
realize what is wrong until faulty
for work or recreation, insomnia or
some other unmistakable symptom in
dicates weak nerves. 1t is then that
many people make the big mistake of
resorting to the use of so-called nerve
tonics, alcoholic stimulants or drugs.
Nothing could be more harmful or
more dangerous. The nerves are
weak and exhausted: they need food
and nourishment-notd drugs that will
Feed your nerves and they will be-
come strong again and your health
VIII improve in consequence. That. is
the advice of the present day physi-
clans and specialists, and the nerve
food they recommend is just one 5-gr.
tablet of pure bitrophosphate taken
during or Immediately after every
meal. Simple advice. but its excel
lence has been proved over and over
SUFFICIENT bitro-phosphate tablets for
TWO weeks treatment can be obtained
from any druggist at reasonable cost,
the remedy is within the reach of
every sufferer from weak nerves.

Make Your OtUts Cough
Syrup and SaUc Money
Better than the ready-made kid.
Easily prepared at home.

The finest cough syrup that money
can buy, costing only about one.fifth as
much as ready-made preparations, can
easily be made up at home. The way it
takes hold and conquers distressing
coughs, throat and chest colds will
really make you enthusiastic, about it.
=, any druggist can sL.,piy you with
21a ounces of Pinex (6C cents worthl
Pour this into pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup. Shake thoroughly an6 it is ready
for use. The total cost is about 65 cents
and gives you full pint-a family sup
ply-of a most efTectual, pleasant tast-
ang remedy. 1t keeps perfectly.
It's truly astonishing how quickly 10
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs-loosens
and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals
the infamed or swollen throat mem-
branes, and gradually but surely the
annoying throat tickle and dreaded
cough will disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
whooping cough or bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound OF Norway pine extract, and is
known the world over for its prompt
healing effect on the throat membranes.
Avoid disappointment by asking your
druggist for "21h ounces of Pinex" with
full directions and don't accept any
thing else. A guarantee of absolute sat-
1sfaction or money promptly refunded,
goes with this preparation. The Pinex

PIGGERY PLAN
FOR GARBAGE DISPOSAL

A piggery controlled by the Dor.
ough has been suggested as one OF
the methods which may be used for
garbage disposal in Steelton,
= If a piggery is started It will mean
that residents of the borough must
keep ashes and garbage separated,
Last night at tho session of council
President Nelley said the Bethlehem
Steel Company will not permit the
dumping of garbage on its property
In tho future. Council now is con-
fronted with tho problem of finding
another method of disposal and II
the garbage is to be fed to pigs ashes
and refuse can not be put in the
same receptacle.
Councilman McEntee, who attend
ed his last session as u councilman,
suggested considering the piggery
plan. His motion was favored I'M
animously and a committee consist
ing of Borough Engineer William
Callaghan and Borough Chemist M
b. Litch was authorized to investi-
gate the various disposal methods
and report to council President
Nelley referred to the fact that Har-
risburg is considering the piggery
plan and said 1t would be an oppor-
tunity to get data on that method.
Curb Collections Unpopular
Curb collections are causing
numerous complaints all over the
borough, Chairman Henderson, OF
the highway committee, reported
He told the other councilman that
complaints are frequent because
many of the residents must carry
receptacles filled with garbage and
ashes through their houses to the
curb in order to have the waste col
lected. Council was asked to revise
the rules.
Councilman McEntee said to this
suggestion that those in charge
should not listen to all the COM
plants. No action was taken in the
matter and it is likely that a petition
will be presented by taxpayers al
the next session.
The first months report of the
truck collection of garbage was made
by Chairman Henderson. During the
month .457 tons were collected which
was made up by $50 loads. The cost
of removing the garbage was eighty
six cents ton. In order that the
men do better work it was suggested
lilSil IL polluS SSSlCnl Dc put INTO
force. No action was taken on this
plan.
Ordinances and Resolutions
Several ordinances and resolutions
were acted upon last night. A reso-
luton prohibiting street fakirs and
carnivals from operating in the
borough, fixing the minimum fine
at $40 and the maximum fine at 500
was passed finally.
An amendment to the license ordi-
nuance changing the fee for outside
merchants from So to SO a year was
passed finally. Councilman Keim,
who is a merchant, insisted that this
be passed in order to protect the
local businessmen.
Following the action of the Dau-
phin County Court ordering O re-
fund of the fines and costs in two
borough criminal suits a resolution
was adopted. The cause for the re-
versal was on account of improper
information on one charge and a
squire acting as burgess in the
other case.
The borough engineer reported
that satisfactory progress is being
made on the intercepting sewer. Up
to this time there has been 2,2OS
feet of the sewer laid.
Final action on the transfer of
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-12-11

the hospital fund was taken last
night when the finance committee
was authorized to dispose of the
fund as provided by law. Several
bills regarding fire apparatus and
improvements were paid out of this
sum last night.
8. r. Hull of New Cumberland,
purchased two lots in Myers street.
Nos. 81 and 23, for $40O. These
lots were taken by the borough ten
years ago for taxes and have been
the property of the borough since.
MIR. Hull plans to build warehouse
for his river equipment in the
spring.
Keep Citizen Engine
The American LaFrance Com
pany gave the borough permission
to buys the Citizen Engine for 5000.
The amount of money allowed for
this engine when the apparatus was
accounted for by the manufacturing
company was S400. The finance
committee was authorized to make
a payment on the apparatus. The
payment will not be made in full
until some detail adjustments on the
three combination trucks are made.
Council authorized the payment of
the garbage truck which is $21.90.
Council purchased $500 feet of
new fire hose, the cost amounting to
$4,000.
j. " w. Reynders in a letter to
council acknowledged the receipt of
the resolution passed by couacil on
the death of his son.
Clarence Fisher, Edgar Hess ana
Ferth Shupp were confirmed as as
sistant drivers for the Baldwin Hose
Company. Raymond Farrman, as
driver, and Solon Barr and j. w.
Mickey as assistants, were confirmed

Slush Ice Causes Pumping
Station to Close Down

For about forty hours it was i'm

ing UP the nest at the intake pipe.
AS soon as the river freezes over and
the slush ice stops flowing, it will be
possible to resume operations. The
temporary delay in pumping is not
alarming as the reservoir supply is
sufficient to keep the town supplied
for several days.

pROHTBTTTVE TAX
DENIED BY MEXICO

Mexico City.-Rafael Niet0 sub
secretary Of finance. recently issued
q long statement explaining at length
the process by which the present al

declares that the duties are neither
burdensome nor confscatory and that
the impression which apparently OBJ
tains among many in the United
States that the duties render eEporta-
ton Of oil from the Mexican fields to
the United States practically impos-
sibIe, is incorrect.
Mr.. Nieto points cut that in many
printed statements to the effect that

the tax on crude oil Of a certain grade
was more than II pesos a ton, where
as the figures mentioned was the aver
age price a ton in New York on which
the tax for that period was based. the
tax being but 10 per cent OF the price
As proof that the new taxes are not
prohibitive the statement asserts that
in the months Of March and April This
year S16,745 tons of crude oil and 4l1,-
IT'S tons Of fuel oil were exported from
Mexican fields
