CHAIRMEN PROBE
DEFICIENCIES
Public Printing and Public
Grounds Heads Explain Why
They Need Money


The big deficiencies in the State
Departments of Public Printing and
Binding and Public Grounds and
Buildings reported by their acting
chiefs to the Governor for incorpora-
ton in the general deficiency bill
were inquired into to-day by Clair
man Buckman and Woodward, of the
legislative appropriation committees,
and it is possible that DEVELOPMENTS
may have a far-reaching effect upon
appropriations for unforeseen contin-
gencies.
The printing department reported a
deficiency of $265,OO0 and it was
stated to-day that the bulk of this was
Tor printing. The organization of the
Workmen's Compensation and State
insurance Fund bureaus and the ex-
tension of the work of the Depart
ment of Labor and Industry as we'll
as installation of the vocational educa-
tlon system and other new matters
OF government caused orders far be-
yond what was anticipated.
The paper contracts made by A.
Nevin Pomeroy protect tie state
pretty well but they will run out be-
Iore long. The State, as q matter of
fact, was in excellent shape in the
face of the rising market for paper.
The department of public grounds
reported a deficit of $129,500. Part
of this was accounted for by the re-
modelling and refurnishing of the
Executive Mansion and by the pur-
chases which had to be made for
various things in rising market. 1t
was a bad year for all departments
Eaving to do with supplies.
The agricultural, highway, mines
and fire marshals departments also
explained their deficits, which are not
large.
The total deficiency is reported at
$4,000, including money to run the
Government to June 1. The Cover
nor cut $977,660 from the depart
mental appropriations but dozen or
so departments reported no deficits
or need of money to run them the
rest of the year.

Have Money For Dependant
Poles; Can't Get 1t to Them

Members of the State workmens
Compensation Board were to-day
asked by committees representing the
Polish War Victims Relief Fund what
to do about amounts awarded rela-
tives of Poles who happen to be killed
in Industrial accidents in Pennsyl-
vania because of the unsettled condi-
tons in the greater part of Poland
due to the war. 1t was represented
that dependents of Poles killed in this
State had probably greater need of
the compensation which the State al
lows now than ever before and yet
there was difficulty in transmitting
the money. The question is the first
to arise as a result of the war and
the State Department at Washington
may be asked to give advice.

People Must Learn What
to Eat and How to Live
to Reduce Living Cost

New York. Jan. 81. - If the people
of this country would reduce the cost
of living they must learn what to eat
and how to live, according to DIR. Har-
vey W. Wiley, who addressed members
of the Economic Club of New York at
a dinner last night
"All that is necessary" he declared
SIS wheat and milk for children. The
wheat problem is not much of a prob
lem in my family My boys eat whole
wheat or brown bread and butter and
milk.
IF to-day we could come to this
simple life no one would complain of
the high cost of living.
IF to-day's I could go into the
home of the dage Garner and he and
his wife would listen to what have to
say as to what they should buy and
what they should eat, l could double
the wages of every laboring man
without adding one cent to his sti-

Nothing Political In Bill
There is nothing political in the

Beidleman to-day. Solicitor Fox
gave it to me as covering amend
ments advocated by the law committee
of the Third Glass City League and /
introduced it, knowing that the COM
mittee had given the matter full
thought.
Il agree with the committee that
the county ought not to be required
to spend the $4,000 for a special cleo
ton. Remember, / represent the
county districts as we'll as the city
and it is the county-not the city
Does 1t seem fair to ask the farmers
and the property owners of the small
towns to pay for tie election of a
councilman for Harrisburg? How
would the people of Harrisburg like
to be asked to pay $4,000 for a town
ship supervisor for the country dis
tricts? think the people of both city
and county will agree with me that
$4,000 is an item we'll worth saving
and that bill that has the approval
of such worthy men as make up the

League which will have this money is
well worth passing.

Provisions of Bill
The bill prepared at the direction
of the law committee of the Third
Glass City League provides that If, for
any reason whatsoever, a vacancy oc-
ours "or exists at the time this amend
ment goes into effect" q majority of
the members of council may fill the
vacancy within so days after it occurs,
the man chosen to serve until his sue
cessor is elected at the next regular
election.
If there is a tie vote the court of
comon pleas is to fill the vacancy
upon petition of ten or more quali-
fed electors. If a majority of the
offices are vacated the remaining
members shall fill the vacancies one
at a time, so that newly chosen
man may participate in the elec-
ton of the, subsequent members. If
all the offices should be vacated the
court of common pleas is to fill
them.

HOT TEA BREAKS
A COLD--TRY THIS

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at
any pharmacy. Take tablespoonful
upon It; pour through sieve and
drink teacup full at any time. 1t is
the most effective way to break a cold
and cure grip, as 1t opens the pores,
relieving congestion. Also loosens
the bowels, thus breaking a cold at
once.
1t is inexpensive and entirely vege-
table, therefore harmless.
