Great Wastage of Food
Complained of in England

London, England.-In report to
the Stepnev public health commit
tee. DR.. D. L. Thomas, medical officer
of health, made some serious dis
closures with regard to the waste of
large quantities of food. Many thou
sands of tons of fish, bacon and pota-
toes had. he stated, to be destroyed
because of improper storage either
during shipment or on their arrival
at the docks. A large quantity of
bacon had also been held back from
the meat market because there was
a glut in the market and its sale
would have tended to bring down the
market price. 1t was therefore sent
to soapmakers for the purpose of ex-
trcting the fat.
DR.. Thomas further stated that
white bread and white -four were be-
ing sold in Stepney. The food con-
troller had gone behind his own or
der with regard to -four and had
given permission to mix 90 per cent.
of white flour with the ordinary gov
ernment regulation flour. If it were
necessary, DIR. Thomas maintained,
to make any modification of the
original order. ii should surely have
been made by a subsequent order, so
that all bakers should have the same
chance.

NEWS. OF STEELTON.
TO INCREASE PIG
IRON CAPACITY
Furnaces at Steelton to Be In.
creased From $4,000 to
$4,000 Tons a Month

The tremendous potentialities of
the Bethlehem Steel Company as a
factor in national defense can be ap-
preciated from its enormous capacity
for the production of pig iron. which
Is rapidly being increased.
The normal capacity of the blast
furnaces at Bethlehem is $4,000
tons a month. Every ton that is made
is needed by the Saucon and the
Lehigh plants. The present capacity
of the stacks at Sparrows Point is
$4,000 tons a month and this is be-
ing doubled so that very soon the
Maryland plant will equal or slightly
surpass that at Bethlehem. The fur
races at the Steelton plant at pres
ent produce $4,000 tons a month,
and will be enlarged to $1,000 tons.
The seven furnaces on the properties
at Lebanon acquired during the last
year by the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany have a capacity of about 50,-
600 tons month.
At present the pig iron production
of Charles NJ. Schwab's furnaces is
almost 250,000 tons a month, and it
will soon be increased to about $780,
600 tons monthly.
The capacity of the Rheinhausen
furnaces, which supply the pig iron
for Essen, is $4,000 tons month.
Germany, of course, has other large
furnace plants, notably at Dusseldorf,
the German Pittsburgh, but Schwab
alone is about as big as the half
dozen largest German plants.
The great energy being put into
the plant at Sparrows Point means
that much of the commercial work
OF the Bethlehem Steel Company,
such as the making of rails structur
al steel and ship plates, will be done
there, and more and more the main
plant at Bethlehem will be devoted
to the manufacture of ordnance.
Bethlehem now employs about u.s.
600 men. but if it were comparative
~ as busy on ordnance alone as is
essen IL would have 100000

WEAR PAPER CLOTHES

They had to find a substitute in
Germany for wooden and cotton
goods. and evolved a paper cloth.
The new material proves wearable
and washable. The drawback at pres
ent is that this paper cloth" is
rather stiff, but by special treat
ment experts hope to produce a stuff
sufficiently fine and soft to be used
even for underwear. The Berlin
Tageblatt devotes the best part of
a column to this important revolu-
ton in clothes. Workmen's clothing
of strong texture can now be bought
in the Berlin shops, and mems trous-
ers, specially impregnated to with
stand rain, also are on sale. The
Tageblatt says by next spring men,
women and children of all classes
will probably be wearing complete
outfits made of the new material.

Lone Jitneyman to File
Will Be Given Hearing

The Public Service Commission to-

date for the hearing of the amended
petition of George w. Shoffstall. the
only one of the Harrisburg jitneymen
to file n petition for a route on Alli-
son Hill and South Harrisburg by
way of the Herr street subway.
The commission announced that it
would consider such amendments. but
not authorize jitneys in the city be-
tween Market and Division streets
and Front street and the railroads.
The commission will probably take
formal action in the cases of the other
jitneymen next Tuesday or Wednes-
day.

you should be most careful to in
sist upon. 1t does not digest food
like pepsin but instead neutrSlizes
or transforms the poisonous bit
ing acid that has formed in your
stomach and is causing you mis-
cry. Your digestive machinery,
relieved of the hampering acid ac-
emulation does it's work without
trouble. SO remarkable is the
action of bisurated magnesia in
stopping stomach distress that as
a rule the worst pain, burning or
sour sensation will vanish within
five minutes from the time ii
reaches the stomach. Any dys-
peptic or stomach sufferer can
prove this easily with a single
trial and with perfect safety as
bisurated magnesia is harmless
and in this form is not laxative.
Get a little Bisurated Magnesia
from G.. A. Gorgas or any drug
gist and try it at your very next
meal and forget all fear of indi-
gestion.

Pig Iron Production
Shows Falling Off
The Iron Age says to-day:

Ihe Iron Age says to-day:
The magnitude of the govern
ments task in fixing steel prices is
shown in repeated postponement of
action. In the past week prominent
producers have been called upon for
additional data, and there is still no
appointment for the expected meet
ing of the War Industries Board and
the general committee of steel manu-
facturers.
The markets for pig iron, semi
hnished steel and rolled products
continue to drift. Indications of COM
ing readjustments are chiefly those
given by resale transactions which
are but meager basis for conclusions.
At Pittsburgh there has been no
duplication of the sales in steel ma
King pig iron, which in the last week
OF August showed a softening mar
ket, but offers of resale billets and
slabs at $40 as against 500 in July
are ample comment on the disap-
pearance of competitive buying Of
shell steel for Europe.
The August pig iron statistics en-
phasize again the little success of
blast furnace operators in the face
OF coke scarcity. The output was g.
247,947 tons, or 104.772 tons a day,
against 3,342,43S tons in July, or
lO7,S2O tons a day. New modern
blast furnaces were started last
month at five steel plants-Midvale.
Bethlehem, Donner, Republic and
Whitaker er-Glessner-yet with all this
reinforcement production declines.
Many furnaces were banked for days
at time for lack of coke.
