Save the Pots and Pans

Save your pots and pans" is the
newest conservation cry for the
housewife.
Thirty manufacturers of kitchen
utensils have issued a bulletin to
housewives urging them to take bet
ter care of enameled, galvanized and
tinware.
Demand for steel has caused a
shortage o: materials used in these
wares, the bulletin says, and with the
opening of the army camps, enam-
oled ware will be in demand for the
mess tents and kitchens.
To conserve the present supply of
pots and pans, the housewife is ad-
vised as follows
Don't heat foods in pan without
water.
Don't use coarse securing pow
ders.
Don't scrape your pots and pans
with sharp knives. Soak them In
stead.
Soap and water are the most eco
nomical and easiest cleansers; also
they are far less damaging to the
hands.-Philadelphia North Ameri-

CHINA FACTOR IN PEACE TERMS

M ANY people passed up with a
III smile the announcement that
China had declared war upon
Germany. On the surface it is an
insignificant incident. with no ma
terial bearing upon the prosecution
or termination of the war. China
will confscate few million dollars
of German property, but will prob,
ably not otherwise take any part in
the conflict. Yet her entrance into
the war may haze utmost sig
mica ace.
japan has been trying to exert a
larger influence in Chinese affairs
and has coveted Chinese trade. ter
ritory and concessions. She has
wanted a free hand" in China and
wants the approval of the United
States to such policy. So long as
Japan was an ally of the United
States and China was a neutral,

the occupant of chair at the table
where the peace terms will be agreed

So far as the prosecution of the
war is concerned. it is not likely that
Germany will feel the weight of

world will note the difference when
the time comes to make the terms

Coal Prices

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The reasons for higher prices of
coal now being printed in local pa
pers--some of them-are really anus
ing. They do not tell it ALL
1t is with coal like milk and other
necessities. There was a time when
the farmer MIXED the cow, cooled the
milk, brought it to town, secured a
fair retail price, and made money,
using one horse and wagon. Now
you will see coming into use auto
trucks driven by the milkman, his
time taken up at the steeringwheel
and two extra men or boys delivering
the milk. This enables the milkman
to get over the route quicker, get
home and do the work. The price of
milk has been increased to cover
cost of the automobile, interest on
money, cost of same and wages of
extra help. The milkman gets all
the benefits of new methods and the
consumer pays for his pains
So it is with the delivery of coal.
Coal was delivered by one man, horse
and cart. That method has come to
be too slow.
Automobile trucks have come into
use. Cost of same, interest on the
money paid for them wages to the
man who runs 1t and an extra man to
go with him, all have to be paid for
by increased price to the consumer.
This method turns out more tons each
day and more profit to the coalman.
Now, the consumer does not care TO
pay a dollar more to have 1t come on
ar automobile at a dollar increase.
Those dealers who have not yet
secured autos take advantage of the
selling price and reap a goodly gain.

GOING UP

A CCoRDING to the usually re-
n liable New York Herald, the
price of face powder is going
UP to such heights that some New
York ladies. are actually daring to
appear powderless in public, and at
the risk of affronting a host of fem
inine readers we leap to a chair and
yell-''Horray"
What's that faint, yet distinct and
growing roar we hear, like the
pounding of an ocean upon a distant
shore? As we live. It's nothing more
or less than our cheer taken up by
hundred thousand masculine
throats. Go to it boys. our cause is
Just.
We suspected it all along. Quite a
few men we know have dared to
complain of the excess powder rule
to their wives and daughters. and
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-09-08

the rest have been merely too gal
liant to voice their sentiments. But
silent or complaining, the powdered
face of even a pretty girl is an
abomination to most men, who hold
q definite opinion to the eff
feet that a pretty girl is prettier
without powder and that the more
powder homely girl streaks oeer
her complexion the worse she looks.
But for all that most women would
as soon venture out without their
shoes as without a coat of dry white
wash applied to the face from throat
to hair, with an added supply of
calcium or white lead stored away
about the person for emergencies.
Many man has gotten out of the
habit of kissing his wife because he
doesn't like the flavor of her pow
der and there are lovers who would
not recognize their sweethearts il
they were to meet them without the
customary coat of talcum.
A young woman with her face
powdered makes every man she
meets think she is old and is trying
TO disguise her age, and an old
woman who powders merely draws
attention to the fact that she is a
dropping rose. long past her bloom.
you take it this advance
in powder prices is a blessing to
mankind, but we wonder what the
wronged wife in the melodrama, is
going to do when she is no longer
able to detect the imprint of her
rivals complexion upon the evening
clothes Of her Lothario husband?

w HEN the Harrisburg Reserves
w were being dismissed last even
ing. Major Porter went along the
lines impressing upon the members
the importance of turning out to bid
the men of the Eighth Regiment
farewell when they leave the city
for the Augusta training camp Mon
day afternoon.
What the Major said to the Re-
serves applies to every man, woman
and child in Harrisburg. These SOL
diers, our neighbors, our friends and
our relatives, are departing upon a
dangerous mission. Some of them, it
is to be feared, will not return. They
are about to place themselves be-
tween the frightfulness of Germany
and their own beloved land. They
are going forth into the trenches to
face a treacherous and a deadly foe,
that America may not be laid waste
as Belgium and Northern France
have been. They are our volunteers,
the flower of our young manhood,
who rushed to arms the moment
their country's need became appar-
ent. They are worthy of all honor.
So it becomes the. duty of those
of us who remain at home to show
our appreciation of what these young
men are doing. 1t is small thing
to give an hour of ones time to a
farewell demonstration in honor of
men who stand ready to give their
lives, if need be.
The sentiment behind the going
away parade is fine thing, but the
feeling of a whole community solid
" behind them, sympathizing with
them and supporting them in every
way win do much to comfort our
fighters during the trying days they
may be called upon to experience.
They must be made to realize that
thousands of those who remain be-
hind do not do so from choice and
that older men stand ready to re-

the necessity arise. They must take
away with them the conviction that
others who never can be expected to
perform military service will do their
part in the multitudinous and ardu-
ous duties that will devolve upon
loyal civilians during the hardships
and trials of war.
In the language of Major Porter:
Turn out; turn out everybody" The
farewell parade will be historic oc-
lcasion. You will regret it all your
days If you do not take part, either
