RuhPs Bread Still Is
of Standard Quality

The government in the past few
weeks has asked all the bakers to
help conserve the wheat supply of
the nation. They are required to use
a substitute in the place of the reg
ular wheat flour on n certain per-
centage basis. In doing this the
baker has to add so much cereal
with the other ingredients in order
to produce a standard loaf of bread.
Ruhrs bakery have enjoyed a
splendid reputation in past years
for the quality of bread they pro-
duce. They still enjoy that good rep
utation and ask the indulgence of
the people in respect to the using of
cereals in their bread. Uncle Sam
has to be obeyed in all respects and
again we must cooperate in every
way in order to win the war.
The ingredients used now in the
baking of bread are real oats. You
are accustomed to eating oatmeal
and not thinking any thing of it.
In fact oats are just as wholesome
as wheat and probaly more So
When the supply of oats run out then
rice, corn, or barley will have to be
used. Ruhls bakery will use only
the best grade of cerals in their
bread so that you will be assured
that their bread will be as good as
any in this section.

Ladies' Day Big Success
at Tokyo Tea Garden

For the past few weeks, as an ad-
Vertising feature, the management OF
the Tokyo Tea Gardens have made
Friday Ladies' Day from 2 to 3
p. m. on this afternoon they serve
tea and rice cakes to all the Ladies
who call at their tea rooms.
This service is all free of charge
and it made n big hit with the Lad
les. All who have been there have
expressed themselves very favorably
as to the quality of the menu and the
quick service maintained.
good many people are of the i'm
preston that this restaurant is a
lively place and inhabited by the
younger set who might get bolster
Gus at times and cause embarrass-
ment to large majority who like to
eat their meals at n nice quiet place
This is hardly consistant with the
real facts inasmuch as the manage
ment try to make this one of the
better class of restaurants. They do
not stand for any boisterousness of
any kind.
To those who are not yet acquaint-
ed with this restaurant let us say
you are missing something. The
decorations and the general outlay
of the tables make this n very de-
sirous place to eat your lunch. Am
erican and orential dishes are SER
we'd under the most sanitary condi-
tions and the service is the best OBJ
tainable. The ladies should take
advantage of the Friday afternoon
teas to get acquainted.

There are a number of different

Breakup Of Ice on Bay
Permits Oyster Shipments
Again After Scarcity

For the past week oysters and sea-
foods in general have been very
scarce owing to the frozen conditions
of places were these products are
taken. 1t was almost next to i'm
possible to get oysters of any kind
in this city. Some of the larger
dealers had a few on hand most of
the time but their supply was limit
ed.
Now that the ice is passing off of
the oyster beds, the trade has again
resumed in these products. and a
larger supply will be carried from
now on until the end of the season.
The absence of seafoods have been
keenly felt by large majority who
have used them as substitutes for
meats. The nutritious value of sea-
foods have placed them on a par
with fresh meats and the lower cost
have caused them to be used much
more extensively than meats. Again
by using seafoods you are helping
meat supply.
Baptist and Shuler, the Hill mer-
chants for seafoods have been re-
ceiving fresh shipments of these pro-
ducts daily and are prepared to make
immediate delivery, (they use auto
delivery too, which means SPEEDY in
all kinds of seafoods,
Besides the products of the water
they handle a full line of fresh
fruits and vegetables. They sell
both wholesale and retail. Their re-
tail store is Nlocated at 1862 Market
street near Thirteenth and the
wholesale store is at Third and
Chestnut streets.

General Merchandise Store
Helps to Reduce Prices

Everyone practically is aware of
the fact that in speaking of business
of any kind, the larger the amount
of sales the less the overhead eX-
pense pro rata sale. This is q big
help reducing the cost of goods when
sold retail. The average general
merchandise store usually found in
the smaller boroughs and towns are
conducted along these lines. In
selling nearly everything that is
needed in the home they cover the
field that would require at least a
half dozen stores, and have but one
overhead expense.
In figuring profit and loss, Mr..
Merchant has to consider rent, help,
delivery service, etc. In the general
store, the store that takes the place
of half dozen stores. this is only
figured once, so It stands to reason
that goods can be sold on a cheaper
scale and still maintain the same
standard quality.
6. A. Fishburn, the Penbrook mer-
chant. conducts Just such a store.
The prices he maintains will stand
the test when equaling those of other
stores and the same quality goods.
Practically everything that is need
ed in the home is carried in this big
store.
Besides the general merchandise
business Mr.. Fishburn sells flour
and feed. grain, cement and bricks.
He also has trucks with which he
does hauling. In fact Mr.. Fishburn
can supply you with most anything
you want from n house and lot to a
box of matches

This Winter Has Been
Real Test of All Kinds
of Heating Systems

The extreme cold weather of the
past winter that is fast becoming n
part of history, has been real test
to heating systems. To tell whether
your system will keep up q sufficient
amount of heat for the coal that was
consumed was an easy matter.
The systems that were installed
conscientiously and with the point
in view to giving service, have stood
the test. There are heating systems
and heating systems. \ great deal
depends on the amount of radiation
allowed for the space that is to be
heated, and the way the pipes are
placed. If there is sufficient drain
age and the right amount of pains
connected with experience, in plac-
ing heating system, there is every
reason why you should have heat
to spare.
r. \. Wagner & Son, who conduct
shop at 207 Locust street and in
Boas street near Main, Penbrook,
have had a large experience in the
heating business. They have in
stalled a number of systems in this
vicinity and everyone has given sue
cess. They install a system so that
it will give service.
Besides the installation of heating
systems they do a general plumbing
and pipe fitting business. They use
the best standard and up-to-date
fixtures. Contracts as we'll as small
Ter jobs are all conscientiously taken
care of

Reliability and Quality
Make For a Good Store

The reliability and quality shown
in a grocery store goes a long way
with the customer. When you walk
into store or when you telephone
arfl order in, you want to feel that
you can rely on that grocer to put
out a good, consistent quality of
goods. If YOU have confidence in
the material that he sells over the
counter. YOU know you are going to
get your moneys worth. If mer-
chant sells you one quality of goods
one day and an inferior brand the
next day, you soon lose confidence
in him and what he has to sell.
Confidence goes a long way in the
buying of anything no matter
whether it's shoestrings you're buy
ing or a house and lot. You want
to feel that you are getting a square
deal. This particularly applies to
the grocery trade. It is almost en-
tirely up to the grocer what kind of
goods you get for the majority of
people do not take enough interest
in the various brands of goods to
tell whether one is better than the
other.
Irwin e. Deppin has enjoyed the
confidence of the people in the west
end for number of years. His ex-
perience and business integrity
stands him in good stead in supply
ing the large trade that he has. The
quality of goods are standard every
day in the week, not one thing one
day and another thing the next day.
This goes a long way with his trade.
He handles a full line of staple
and fancy groceries and fresh mea is
as well as fresh fruits and vege
tables. He maintains a delivery serv
ice and supplies the best class of
trade

Good Management Plays
Big Part in Conducting
Modern Grocery Stores

There are a large number of peo-
pie who are of the impression that a
grocery store will run itself and that
all that is necessary is to have a
good trade and the business will con-
tinue to roll in. This is some
illusion for believe me as a grocery
store takes considerable of manuv-
ering to make both ends meet.
The manager of n grocery store
must be up to date in his buying eX-
perience as we'll as selling eXper-
ience. He must be able to buy we'll
and to get the advantage of all mar
ket prices in order to give his
costumers the same advantage as
he would get. Things must be tast-
lily arranged so as to meet the eye
of the costumer. They must be kept
clean and fresh. The service end
of the business must be followed up
and every thing kept shipshape and
ready for action.
B. B. Drum. the uptown grocer
is an up-to-date manager. He has
had years of experience in this line
and knows the grocery business from
to 2. He devotes n large part of
his time to the detail work in the
store. The detail work is where the
costumer comes in for his share of
the courtesy and service that is nee
essary in all stores nowadays. The
large trade Mr.. Drum enjoys is
silent testimony to his business abil-
ity and it is increasing daily. When
YOU walk into the store there is
always a smiling clerk to wait on
YOU and to serve you with what you
want and to tell you the price with
out asking some other clerk. This
consumes a minum amount of time
and is what every, costumer is look
ing for. This is where good manage
ment comes in.
Mr.. Drum carries n full line of
staple groceries fruits and vegetab-
les. and smoked and fresh meats.
His store is located at the corner OF
Sixth and Kelker streets. He main
tains an auto delivery service and
delivers to all parts of the city.

Quality of Milk and
Cream Up to Milkman

The milkman himself has a lot to
do with the quality of the milk and
cream he sells His reliability and
the condition of his creamery goes
4 long way in this matter. If he is q
good. clean, conscientious man and
has modern methods with which he
produces the products of his trade,
it stands to reason that the quality
will be of the best.
Naturally he will see that the milk
he buys comes from the best stock.
Good healthy, we'll contented cows
give good quality milk. Then after
coming into the creamery if the milk
is. carefully pasteurized and clarified
and handled with extreme care it is
sure to be of the best.
1t is for the costumers of a milk
man to decide whether they are get
ting the best there is. The costumers
of c. NJ. Nissley, who has a cream
cry in South Seventeenth street,
speak every enthusiastically of the
good quality milk and cream which
he sells. And that is a good recon-
mendation. Mr.. Nissley has all the
modern and up-to-date appliances
and serves the milk under the most
sanitary conditions.

UNITED HOSPITALS
HARD HIT BY WAR
Depletion of Workers Re-
ported to Be Impairing
the Service.

The high cost OF war life. like the
Hun, doesn't spare even the hospitals
and hospital workers here at hope, So
one gathers from the annual report
which was submitted yesterday by the
executive committee OF the United Hos
pital Fund TO the board OF trustees. the
report giving In detail the war work of
the forty-six hospitals In the fund.
1.-THE increasing strain of war" says
the report In part, has been keenly felt
by the United HospitaIs-whose free
work is provided for by the United Hos
pital Fund. Large numbers OF the pro-
fession and special STATS have volun-
teered and gone to the front. Employees
OF all kinds have been drafted or have
left for other activities" thus causing
a depletion OF hospital workers which
has brought about serious situation,
impairing in many institutions both the
quality and quantity of hospital and dis
pensary service.
The present conditions have been
brought TO the attention OF Government
authorities, the report continues, with
the hope that such exemption for neces-
sary workers of all grades will be
granted as will permit the hospitals TO
maintain full service"
For the year ended September so last
the receipts OF the fund we're S1s1,504.oS,
or a gain over the preceding year Of
S47,92460.
Notwithstanding this increase" con-
dudes the report, the rising costs of all
kinds of medical and surgical supplies
and OF labor has been even greater. The
expenses OF the United Hospitals for the
year were $3.50, 1875. an increase OF
S1,771,3SO.16. Thirty-six out OF the
forty-six United Hospitals closed the
year with deficits amounting IN the ag-
gregate 10 s391.481.36.
"As result some have been compelled
10 reduce their free services, others TO
postpone needed repairs or requirements
and many have been forced TO cut
heavily into their funds. thus impalring
their resources. A few institutions have
had friends who have come to their re-
lief with large special gift..'

PEACE TO BRING NO
WAR PLANT LOSSES
Government Will Compensate
Firms With Outstanding
Contracts, Is Belief.
Special Despatch 10 1'HE stx.


WARRINGTON, Oct. 27.-Though when
peace comes the Government will have
outstanding contracts for tremendous
amounts OF supplies. valued at millions
OF dollars. which will not be required. It
Is generally understood here that manu-
facturers, mills or other organizations
that have made agreements for delivery
OF their product will not be allowed to
suffer financial loss.
Compensation. It is believed, will be
given all plants that have been devoting
their time to Government work. and this
compensation, II is understood. will
cover FULLY any pecuniary loss. The
manufacturer who comes In direct con-
tact with the Government will, on the
other hand, be expected to compensate
the dealer from whom he has contracted
to take goods. and this system will be
extended on down the line 30 that there
will be no financial hardship suffered.
Under such circumstances the only
problem OF industry would be to get
back to a civilian business basis as
quickly as possible. and It is not thought
that this will entail great loss or time
or profit.
