LONDON, June 9.-The British at
tackled last night south of the Souchez
river and entered the German posi-
tions on a front of more than two
miles, the war Office announces. The
German line was penetrated to a
depth of more than half mile. Heavy
casualties were inflicted on the Ger
mans.
The attack extended north of the
river The statement says operations
were carried on with complete sue
cess on a wide front from south OF
Lens to La Bassee.
The Germans made a powerful
counter-attack last night over nearly
the whole length of the new front
They were repulsed completely, the
British retaining all the ground cap
tured.
(By Associated Press)
On a two miles front south of the
souchez river the enemy lines were
penetrated to a depth of more thar
one-half mile and successful opera
tions were carried on further north as
Idr as La bdSS0.
The field of this attack by Is to q
miles south of the drive made by the
British in Belgium on Thursday which
resulted in the capture of the com
manding Wyscaette ridge and The
elimination of one of the most annoy
ing salients in the entire line on tht
western front.
Are Strategic Points. H..
Somewhat widely separated as arr
the two fields of attack, they bear re
lation to each other as strategic
points from which the great manufac
turing district centering in Lille ma!
be subjected to alternating pressure.
Already the Arras battle of whicl
this latest development is continua
ton, has made serious inroads on th'
| major defenses OF this region. Th'
fall of Lens, the great coal city, jus
before the British lines at this poin
has long been conceded to be only ;
| matter of time.
The movement reported today ap
parently means that this is near "a
hand. And that another great blow
! is about ready to be struck towart
clearing the Germans from their lonl
| held and much tried trench position
| in this area.

Coco-Cola in Big Demand

With government agitation for
nationwide prohibition during the
war and with the big advance in the
retail selling price of whisky due
to the law of Congress prohibiting
ith manufacture, persons everywhere
are becoming deVotees of pure and
refreshing soft drinks.
Perhaps the most famous of the
soft drings is Coco-Cola which has
been for sale at soda fountains and
stores throughout the country for
many years. The popular demand
for Coco-Cola has spread to Europe
and is increasing daily in America.
The Coco-Cola Bottling Company,
which prepares and sells Coco-Cola,
has a big, modern equipped plant in
Harrisburg. The art of bottling here
reaches the highest point of perfec-
ton. Bottles are filled in sani-
tary manner, which means much
for the purity of the beverage.
The Harrisburg plant of the COM
pany is located at 1926 Marion street.
An automatic machine, a wonder of
modern invention, is installed here
and with it a boy washes, sterilizes
and rinses $500 bottles an hour.
Harrisburg persons are urged to
visit the local plant and learn for
themselves why Coco-Cola especially
bottled and prepared by the company
has gained such great popularity.

School of Commerce
Shows Development

School of Commerce established
1894, now oldest and largest in Cen
trail Pennsylvania, successfully con-
Quoted since 1907 under the personal
supervision of D. l.. M. Raker. In
August the Harrisburg Business Col
lege was purchased and merged into
the School of Commerce and Pro-
fessor ]. e. Garner, the oldest and
one of the best-known educators in
Harrisburg, is now assisting in one
Of its departments. The enrolment
books show over 500 students, con-
sisting of normal, high school. teach
ers, college people, and people of
leisure and wealth. Two years ago
it's various departments, equipment,
teachers, courses of study and meth
ods were examined by national
committee on education and it was
pronounced a standard school and
was admitted to the National Asso-
citation of Accredited Commercial
Schools of United States and Canada.
1t Is Mr.. Raker's aim to Keep fully
in touch with every important de-
Velopment in modern otfice devices
and methods.
The new stereotype machine was
introduced five years ago for those
students who desire greater speed
and an easier method of taking die
tation. Ten teachers are employed
and are specialists as heads of their
department., which leaves each de-
partment with the last word in eff-
cheney. Every graduate receives q
diploma from the school and poe
ket certificate from the N. A. A. Z. >.
which gives memberhip in the en-
ployment department of any ac-
credited school in the country. Class
and individual instruction are given
and the student may enter at any
time of the year, any Monday, and
pursue the course as rapidly as their
ability will permit them, regardless
of what others are doing. School OF
Commerce students hold responsible
positions in prominent otnces ana
business corporations of Harrisburg
and many other cities and towns.
Hundreds are employed in the Capr-
tol and United States government de-
partments. Many have gone to wash

Philadelphia Quick Lunch
Real Base of Economy

The Philadelphia Quick Lunch,
307 Market street, established elev-
en- years ago by its present proprie-
tor, George Coloviras, when quick
lunches were in their infancy, has
asserted itself as one of Harrisburg's
leading Restaurants. It is due to
the untiring efforts of Mr.. Cotoviras
to please his customers. Service is
the main issue at the Philadelphia
Quick Lunch, connected with FIRST
quality foods, we'll prepared and
served to the queens taste.
Mr.. Coloviras, through his vast
experience as a restaurant man,
knows what's what when 1t comes
to serving the public. All the baking
of the delicious pies and cakes that
you eat here for breakfast, dinner
and supper are baked right on the
spot. A large force Of men are en-
ployed in the bakeries, which are
right back of the main restaurant
on Market street, in rounding into
shape the many kinds of pastry for
which the Philadelphia quick
Lunches are noted. To get the best
results that are obtainable in the

into any of the Philadelphia Quick
Lunches, three of them, you can
feel assured that you are getting the

to eat at any of these restaurants
With conditions such that every
nickle counts, you must look for the

Milk Is High, but
Most Nutritious Food

There Is good deal of agitation
nowadays in the mind of the aver
age businessman as to how he is
going to make both ends meet for
the coming winter. 1t seems as if
everything under the sun has sud-
denly shown disposition to Initiate
q Zeppelin, and go away up in the
air, as far as price in concerned. OF
course, there are some foods which
have not altered much in value, but
as rule those are the foods of which
the average man and woman are not
oVerfond. But take edible milk, meat
and bread, and they have scared to
tremendous and awe inspiring
heights. Milk, however, is one of
those few foods without which man
would be lost. Not only is 1t an ex-
cellent food in itself, but its variety
and multiplicity of uses in other
foods and in combination with other
eatables, make it even more valu-
able. In these times of stress and
strain, the best foods only should be
eaten, and milk Is one of the best
foods. @. e. Cooper & Son, corner
of Twentieth and Brookwood streets,
own and operate one of the most up
to-date plants in Harrisburg for the
distribution of milk and cream.
Thousands of dollars have been in
vested in modern machinery and oil
milk sold by Cooper & Son is pas
teurized, clarified and otherwise
treated IN the most approved sani-
tary methods.

THE QUALITY SHOP

There is always something in
name and the name Quality means
Just what it says. Quality is one OF
the hobbies of l.. Lobarts, who con-
ducts the leading Haberdashery in
Steelton. Mr.. Lobarts gives his en-
tire time and undivided attention to
his hundreds of satisfied customers,
and he prides himself on the fact
that he rarely has dissatisfied Gus
toner. Mr.. Lobarts numbers among
his patrons a majority of the young
men of Steelton, who like style, snap
and finish to their wearing apparel,
and his store on Front street Is fast
becoming the mecca for the we'll
dressed man. Mr.. Lobarts welcomes
all with a glad hand and genial
smile, and anyone who has not seen
the wonderful values offered by Mr..
Lobarts should visit his store and
he will find Quality in every depart
ment, as well as prices to fit his
pocketbook.

A Reliable Grocer

Irwin A. Deepen conducts n gro
Gerry and meat market at the corner
of Sixth and Emerald streets. Mr..
Deppin has worked his way to the
top of the grocery and meat business
in this city and numbers his satisfied
customers by the hundreds. He eXer-
cises great care in the selection of
the goods sold over his counter and
everything which is not to the mark
is cast to one side and only the very
best offered. Any businessman will
tell you it is unsafe to monkey with
an established trade. Old customers
will take a great deal from their
tradesman before they finally take
umbrage and depart, thence taking
their trade and their dollars to some
wiser competitor. Mr.. Deepen has
full knowledge of this fact and fer
that reason takes steps to see that he
shall have no dissatisfied customers.
The housewife who purchases her
goods at Deepen's market is assured
of first-class goods, courteous and
obliging service and the pleasure of
serving a good meal.

Milk Is Still
the Universal Food

The average housekeeper is some
what dismayed at the high price of
milk at the present time until she
stops to consider the place that milk
occupies on the everyday bill OF
fare. There is hardly one dish that
can be prepared and made tasty and
delicious without the use of milk
Milk has always occupied promi-
nent part in the diningroom of man
kind, and when the food value of
milk is taken in consideration, it is
easily seen that even at it's present
unprecedentedly high prices 1t is a
cheap and good food.
The milk sold by L. A. Sterrick, of
1851 Jefferson street, can be depend
ed upon to be fresh, pure and whole
some. He uses the most up-to-date
methods and the most modern ma
chinery in his plant. His milk is
pasteurized, clarified and otherwise
treated in the most sanitary way
possible, and as a result his GUS
toners are increasing in number.
He cordially invites the public to
visit his Dairy.

Items of Interest

Henry Ford informed friends at
the Detroit Athletic Club in Detroit
the other day that he had just noti-
hed France that that country could
have 1000 Ford tractors. He is now
working on from 5000 to 1000 for
England, and all of these will have
to be delivered before Americas de-
mand is met. Mr.. Ford said that
he was taking advantage of the pres
ent fine weather in making the tests,
and that in a short time, several
of these tractors would be moved to
the South for test work there. He
laughingly said that he was 54 years
old, but believed that in his present
condition he was capable of running
farther and running faster than any
34-year-old man in Detroit. AS in
dicating the work he is doing, he
told of rising at 6 o'clock, Wednes-
day morning, and of following eleven
tractors over the fields. He rode on
many of these, and at the close of
the mornings test, knew everything
that was to be known regarding the
work of each. Mr.. Ford said that all
of his tractors were being fitted to
create their own light for night work.
The other night a test was made
with one of them, and it plowed an
acre in siXty-five minutes. Mr.. Ford
said that it was evidence that the
government action with regard to
the manufacturing of automobiles
was in line with a saving policy and
that it was probable the government
did not care to have the manufacture
ers make too many cars, as too many
cars means the consumption of pre-
cious gasoline.
Mr.. Williams, of the Williams Mo-
tor Car Company, who handles the
Ford agencie of Harrisburg. has just
announced the receiving of a large
shipment of Fords, chassis, run
abouts, one-ton trucks. town cars, Sc
dams and the coupelet and is now
ready for fall and winter delivery.
His advice to-day was, don't wait,
buy now.

Fish and Oysters
the Favorite Food

If you are stuck, as they say, on
the problem of what to serve for din
ner, take a stroll through Baptist
& Shuler's fish, oyster and vegetable
market and you will find a great va
riety of delicious eatables that your
folks will be glad to see brought on
the table and they will relish them.
The housewife will find an enticiJfg
array of oysters now in season and
as delicious as they grow. Blue
points. excellent for chowder; celery
hearts, the kind that melt in your
mouth; Boston lettuce, fine, crisp and
fresh. Fish of every description can
be procured on all days of the week
and a trial will convince you you
have at last found the right place for
satisfaction. Mr.. Shuler welcomes all
with smile and has built up an
enviable reputation as a purveyer of
food.
