likely to take place in the county.
The force of agents is designated as
the Food Administrators Field
Agents.
These agents work in their speci-
fed territories, assisting the County
Food Administrator in investigation
and report to headquarters definitely
and specifically on violations in the
county. The organization reaches to
every township and borough. and
every violator of food regulations is
discovered sooner or later.
The personal identity of the food
agents Is never revealed. In Dau-
phin county it already has brought
many food regulation violators to
justice.
Where a delinquency is discovered
by the food agents and the transgres-
sbr has made an error. . it is correct
ed with the least possible trouble to
employed only in cases of defiant
and willful infractions of the regula-
tions.
Where an error is discovered by
the food agents and can be correct
ed without disclosing the identity of
the unintentional violator. the Sc
cret agent brings 1t to the attention
of the local food administration who
corrects it secretly without disclos-
ing the identity of the violator.
Each of the sixty-seven counties
of the state is organized in the same
way with the food investigators, and
the system already has achieved
splendid results.
The first force was organized in
Philadelphia. 1t began with only a
few members, but was augmented
from time to time, until now it has
the entire city under surveillance. In
the same manner, Harrisburg is or
ganized and any infraction of food
regulations is almost certain to be
detected.
The agents are citizens who have
volunteered for the patriotic serv-
ice. They include men and women
of every walk in life and nearly ev-
cry nationality represented in the
city's population.
These field agents are under the
direction of Houston Dunn. of Phila-
delphia, who has organized the force
and will continue as its chief.

CONSERVATION OF
FOOD DURING THE
WINTER IS URGENT
Administrator Mccormick De-
q clares Fresh Beef Will
Become Scarce

Donald Mccormick, county food
administrator, who returned from a
conference between county food ad-
ministrators and State Food Admin
istrator Howard Heinz at Philadel-
phia yesterday, announced this
morning that the regulations gov
erning wheat, sugar and substitutes
will remain in force until spring at
least.
Beef regulations likely will become
more stringent within the very near
future, he said. AS soon as huge re-
frigerator plants now being built in
France are completed. the best beef
products of the United States will
be shipped over seas for the use of
the armies there. This will necessi-
tate a curtailment of the use of
fresh beef in this country.
The limitation of two pounds per
person monthly on sugar will remain
in force indefinitely. The lack of
ships to import sugar, the shortage
of sugar beet and cane crops. the
destruction of huge refineries in
France and Belgium, and the enor-
nous supplies needed for the SOL
diers, combine to make the econom-
ical use or sugar necessary.
Storing Wheat
"hedl Is DeillS SlOfeu against d
future shortage, he said. While the
crops of this harvest were bountiful,
he said, next years may not be so,
and it is necessary to provide
against q shortage. Moreover, he
added, the Allies and armies are
looking to the nation to send them
enough wheat for their sustenance.
Every country fighting against Ger
many, he said. is on the four-to-one
wheat purchase ration recently put
into effect here.
Mr., Mccormick issued a request
that all householders conserve in
their homes by using substitutes with
wheat flour when baking.
Users of wheat who refuse to
bake substitutes in with their wheat
flour should be frowned down upon
and publicly branded as slackers, the
same as violators of the gasolineless
Sunday order have been" Mr.. Nc
Cormick said.
Public eating houses still are limit
ed to but two ounces of bread TO a
patron at one time. Other wheat
products, including pie and pastry,
however, may be sold in addition to
the two ounces of wheat bread to one
I patron.

Every Meal a
Poisonous Injection

Few folks suffering from kidney
and bladder troubles ever think that
the meals which they are taking are

the system through a diseased condi-
tion of the kidneys and bladder. In
the healthy man nature provides an
outlet for this poison. Those in ILL.,
health must take a medicinal help to
drive this death dealing poison from
the system. Fer over 200 years GOLD

First in State
This is the first state show in the
! east and it promises to oUt-do any
thing held in the west where tractors
/ first became famous. The contest
| ing machines are four-wheeled and
| three wheeled; only one caterpillar
showed up, that made by the Cleve-
| land people. The object of the great
! display is to show the adaptability
! of the tractor which will pull two or
! three plows. A tractor plow will
cover 10 to IA inches and a plow will
! therefore turn over anywhere from
"a to AZ inches. This beats the old
fashioned "geehaw" stuff all to bits
| for old Dobbin could not turn up more
than IL inches. With this demon ma.
| chine a farmer can turn up ten acres
a day of fairly good land and what
this means to increased farm prod
ucts any one can estimate.
The stated rules for competition
in this contest are the most COM
prehensive ever used A govern.

machine; the fuel. gasoline or kero.

tested and the accurate time taken by

a resolution ordering the inquiry
by the Judiciary Committee or sub
