ManeeIs, Carrots and Cabbage Make
Excellent Green Food-cut Fresh
Bone Is Very Good.

Hens need some green food In win.
ter II they are TO lay well. Mangels,
carrots and cabbage are good. Hang
them up so that the hens can just

also good. Alfalfa and clover leaves

In the summer when the hens lay
well they have bugs, worms, grasshop-
pers and other insects. In the winter
they need something to take the place
OF this kind Of food. Cut fresh bone Is
very good. Half an ounce daily per hen
supplies all she needs OF this food.

Tailor-WH. E." Refers to
the Governor)
BIZ a star Correspondent

HARRISBURG. Feb 5.-The official
presser of the gubernatorial pants is enjoy
ing the exposures of Governor Brumbaugh's
acceptance of State aid in his personal ex-
penses and the threatened probe.
It's funny. isn't it?" he remarked to-
day while he posed for his photograph
Fred s. Lack is the name of the man
who smooths out the Governors pants with
hot iron every day or two. He is a
typical tailor, with such a fourishing busi-
ness that he has to have three assistants
to help him in his shop at 80 North Dew
berry street
Lack today explained that he has no in

added that he has made 1t a rule to charge
Governor Brumbaugh the same price as
ordinary customers-seventy- five cents for

along with his pants and coat

too" he remarked with apparent pride. But
Tener sent his oress clothes here, besides his
ordinary suits"
The present Governor. he explained. sends
him his sack suits and his frock coats only
He has pressed these clothes for Brum-
baugh ever since the present Governor was
inducted into Office.
How big is Governor Brumbaugh?" the
official gubernatorial tailor was asked
II don't know" he replied II never
measured him and never thought of meas
uring his clothes because h, is about my
size. / did measure Governor Teners
clothes because Tener had such long legs"
The tailor himself looks like he tips the
scales at about 200 pounds. He was asked
whether the size of the Governors pants
had made him contemplate at times an in
crease in price for Brumbaugh.
There are biggen men than Governor
n han oh hn '
he said. "and charge them only seventy
FIVE cents"
But while the State was paying for
pressing the Governors trousers, why didn't
you charge more?" he was asked
II did not bother about who paid the
bills"
Then he made himself the first leak in
the aftermath of the Governors expense
account exposures.
Most of the clothes that came here from
the mansion were the Governors" he said.
>"I only received two or three checks from
the Department Of Public Grounds and
Buildings, and they were for pressing the
clothes of the Governors butler few
times.
THE Governors housekeeper always
came around herself and paid mo u cash
for doing the pressing. 1t was different in
Tener's time. Mrs. Tener used to send me
her personal check for pressing Governor
Tener's clothes"
The tailor then shifted his talk TO the
future
How soon is my photograph going to be

pressed here by kazuye Shoda, Minister Of

announcement that beginning with the fiscal

the fund from $l5,00O.OOO to s25,OOO,OOO
