1 for the city to hold the potatoes for a | rise-that was not the purpose in the 1 first place. If the city goes into the business of storing potatoes it will be on the same basis as the store," the alderman declared.
 Chafing under the restraint of not being able to rally to the defense of , the committee of which he is auditor, 1 w. E. Rossberg obtained the coun- | cils permission and replied to Alder | man Curtis. He explained that if the present crop owned by the farm com mittee were distributed it would mean l "only about a peck for each family and it would discourage the farmers 1 from bringing their potatoes into the city" The idea of the committee, MT. Rossberg sad, is to encourage the peo-
 pie to buy as many potatoes as they
 can at reasonable prices and store them for future use and the commit tee will endeavor to look out for those poorer families who can neither buy them up or store them. The price yesterday, he said, was $1.S5 from the dealer and $2.1O delivered at the con- sumers' home. The municipal farm committee ought to advise people to buy all the potatoes they can and thus S~AA~O when the price will rise. He did ad- init, however, that there is a strong wave of public sentiment in favor of having the committee dispose of its crop at once and declared that he has personally received at least 500 calls from people who desired to leave or ders.
 Asked Alderman Curtis: If the city holds its potatoes won't it encourage others to hold?"
 "Well," replied MT. Rossberg, "f think the farmers are foolish to hold out for high prices. Some of them are holding out now for $3 bushel.'
 "WelE" argued Alderman Curtis, eff you buy 5000 bushels and lose 500 bushels by rot won't you boost the price of the others in order to make up the difference?"
 Further argument was temporarily stopped when Mayor Quigley banged his gavel, but it was imme ediately started again when Councilman c. J. Dehm asked of MT. Rossberg whether the municipal farm committee has or dered any potatoes at $1.35 per bushel as talked of at the last council meet ing.
 In reply MT. Rossberg said that on the very next day the price Jumped from s1.35 to $1.45 per bushel with no promise of delivery at that price and the committee had voted to buy six carloads at a price not to exceed $1.45 per bushel and as much less as they might be obtained.
 How much will you sell for?" queried the first ward councilman.
 1T don't know,' MT. Rossberg re- piled.
 Pressed for an answer of whether the committee would sell the potatoes at cost plus the price of carriage. MT. Rossberg said he could not say for he did not know.
 Whereupon another potato fancier in the person of Councilman Joseph c. Andrews entered the lists. MT. An drews said: "It is not of the food value that the public is thinking but it is of the taxpayers money. They want to
New Britain herald., 1917-10-18

ing but rather name a committee and have them buy the potatoes if neces- sary." He referred to the statem ents and explanations made by MT. Ross berg and the mayor as the variety "put up to satisfy but not proper" Now the only thing to do, he advised, is to let the committee go ahead and hold the potatoes for rise-"Yes. and take a rise out of us,' interjected Alderman Curtis. Councilman Mo- Donough also questioned the previous statement that potatoes have jumped to $1.S5 at the producers for, he said. only that day he bought them, de- livered at his house, for $1.75. The only good holding local potatoes would do, he predicted. would be to keep down the price locally for the time being.
 Predictions of great .grumbling on the part of the people If the potatoes are not sold at once was made by Councilman Eichstaedt and Alderman Paonessa made an impassioned plea in behalf of the Municipal Farm com- mittee, in which he did not neglect to give Mayor Quigley due credit for his efforts and reminded the mem bers that he had been a mayor in overalls who had hood potatoes on the Municipal farm without any shirt on.
 And Still They Come.
 It seemed as though the ground had been thoroughly covered when Councilman H. P. Richards made the almost unbelievable statement that there Is one point that has not been touched on." He referred to the fact that the Municipal farm has increased the total acreage of home production 1 just that much. He favored letting the committee handle the matter and it was eventually voted to do so. During an intermission, while the council members came up for air | before attacking the report of the
 municipal gardens committee, Coun-
 cilman Anton Steiner passed box
 of cigars in honor of his recent mar
 riage and Mayor Quigley took oc-
 casion to hand the reins to Alderman Jester while he took a short vacation. l Upon reconvening the council
 passed a resolution prohibiting the
 erection of billboard advertising signs
 on the tops of buildings and then
 received the report of the gardens
 committee printed in another column Despite the fact that the mayo,
 sent out notices for the special meet ing on Tuesday, a quorum was not l present last evening at 7:45 o'clock | the appointed hour. It was S:05
 o'clock before the special meeting 1 could open and then there were only fifteen members present. Alexander
 Mackay and John Tomaszewsky were | elected councilman from the third and ! alderman from the fifth wards re- l spectively to fill vacant positions. MT | TomasZewski at once resigned as
 councilman and was appointed to the
 finance committee.

and tobacco on the character.

The user of alcohol, after having
his sense of right and wrong dead
ened, does not hesitate to give him
self up to the temptations that come
to him in life. He becomes cross
and careless of the rights and feel
ings of others. Worse than this
it makes most boys beg and steal in
order to get it. Business men and
especially railroad officers, refuse to
employ men who use alcoholic
drinks.
Then, the use of tobacco is de-
nounced by DR.. Mohr, of the Medi-
cal College of Philadelphia, in these
emphatic terms:
boys who smoke are prodigious
liars and thieves, and have been
found to be unmanageable at home
and school, whi!e#5adges of the
juvenile courts have declared that
of the criminal class of boys not
one has been found who did not use
cigarettes"
We should not kill the body and
stupify the brain and sense of right
and wrong by using alcohol. Be-
sides keeping the body strong,
everyone should abstain from the
use of alcohol and tobacco, and use
the millions of dollars wasted in
these poisons for some worthy pur-
pose. The habit of using alcohol
and tobacco should never be form
ed, for, as Horace Mann says: "Hab-
it is cable; we weave thread of
it each day and at last we cannot
break it.

early tomatoes. Mr.. George F.
Minis has made a reputation for
having hardy plants early in the
spring. He now has large stock
of tomato plants, including proba-

lar varieties. Why order plants
that are probably bruised and rough
ly handled in transit when you can
get strong, vigorous plants here at
home? Let Mr.. Minis know what
your wants are and he can easily
supply them.

Suggested Ways For
 Reducing Meat Bills

Reduce your meat bill That Is one of the steps in thrift advocated by the committee on utilization and economy Kansas council of defense.
 Here are suggestions, some of which may be put into practice, the commit tee believes, by every housekeeper:
 Meat substitutes may be used, such as eggs, cheese, milk, peas, beans and nuts.
 Do not buy meat until you have bought one pint of milk a day for each member of your family.
 A dozen eggs are worth as much in the dietary as two pounds of meat.
 Waste in meat, the committee points out, may occur in leaving the trim mings at the market, in throwing away fats that could be used in frying, short ening or soap making; in throwing away bones that could be used in mak- tng soup and in not using the leftOvers.

Method of Keeping the
 Hands In Condition

Keep on your washstand bottle Of vinegar and salad oil two parts vine gur to one of oiD, and after washing your hands and before drying shake the bottle and rub just little of the mixture well into the skin. Then dry very thoroughly.
 If the oil doesn't agree with your skin, use lanolin instead, applying the lanolIn first and rubbing 1t well in and then rubbing in a little vinegar. Lanolin suits some skins better than the oil.
 If you are going to do gardening and don't want your nails to get black, soap them well before beginning. The space under the nails being filled with soap, there Is no room for dirt to go in.
 When you have done working wash your hands in hot water, using good soap and plenty of fine sand with which to rub them. This treatment will very quickly remove all dirt
