COUNCIL MUST
CUT EXPENSES
Scarcity of Funds Evident in
Activities of Borough
Fathers

That few improvements and un-
necessary repairs will be made to
streets was emphasized by Council
in monthly session in the Council
Chamber last evening. Chairman
Henderson of the highway commit
tee, said that the department will
make repairs TO the streets this year
only where they are badly needed.
The Citizen Fire Company on ac-
count of the high cost of labor and
material has decided to postpone the
building of an additional story to the
iirehouse until next year, it was an
nounced at the meeting.
Council turned a deaf ear to sug-
gestions for Improvements in South
Third and Chestnut streets. made BY
Councilman Smith. Councilman
Smith declared that Council is dis
eliminating against the poorer class
es when it refuses TO make these i'm
provements. Councils efforts to re-
trench in expenses is largely due for
its refusal to take proper action.
Councilman Smiths motion that
+. c. Henderson be forced to inn
prove a sidewalk in front of the
property which he owns on the west
side of Chestnut street between Sec
ond and Third streets, was with
drawn after n hot debate. Council
man Henderson declared that the
grade was not properly established
and that he would not make repairs
until he had the accurate lines. The
grade will be established during the
month and the question come up be-
fore Council at its meeting next
month.
Solicitor Wickersham last evening
submitted n report on an inVesttga-
tion into whether or not Council can
force the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany to pay tax on its property IN
the borough. Suggestion that action
along these lines be taken was made
by Councilman Reider at the meet
ing of Council last month. Solicitor
Wickersham reported that the only
way the borough can collect from
the trolley company is to force the
company to pay the expenses OF in
spection of lines and other equip
ment under the policing powers of a
borough. 4 motion made by Council
man Reider that the solicitor draw
up an ordinance embodying his find
ings and present it to Council next
month was passed.
The appointment of the following
assistant fire drivers was confirmed
last night: East End Hose Company,
Joseph Senior. s. X. Van Zant and

German Spies Outwitted

London.-Clever as the German

more in this city. The local food ad-
ministration, believing that the Ger

triotic persons refusing to partake OF

Manufacturers of the dish yester-
day notified the food administrator
that kraut is not receiving its share
OF attention from the public, and the
sympathetic interest of the food adj
ministration was Immediately arous-

Later, Administrator George issued
n statement, wherein il was declar-
ed that, Notwithstanding the hypheu

in order that it might not be con
sidered an unpatriotic dish, he chris
tened it with the wholesome Ameri-
can name of 'piekled cabbage"

Compare 7rOcO zCifh the
Best Creamery Butter

The test of Troco is on the
table, in comparison with the
best creamery butter. This is
where it wins butter lovers.
For cooking it has no equal,
either in results or from the
standpoint of economy. Troco
goes farther than butter.
Old laws, made before Troco
was invented, compel us to label
it as an oleomargarine. This is
extremely misleading.
Troco is a quality product
used in homes where only the
best is tolerated. Here flavor,
quality and the assurance of fas-
tidious manufacturing methods
insure the popularity of Troco.

Our. Exclusive Process Gives
TrOCO It's Real Butter Flavor
SOWeS the Butter
Problem

Troco is not merely a butter
substitute; tits the successor to
butter. It tastes exactly like the
finest creamery butter and is as
digestble as butter, with the
same high nutritive value.
Troco solves the butter prob
lem for those who hitherto have
used nothing but the best cream
cry butter. These critical users
say that rarely is butter so
sweet and delicate in flavor.
But don't just ask for nut
butter" or 'nut margarine" and
expect to enjoy this de luxe
flavor.
Ask for Troco. and get the real
butter favor.

The President has not declared him
self on the issue Of prohibition, beyond
expressing TO several members Of Con
gress the hope that the country would
not be made bone dry before January
4, 1920. so the revenue from the sale OF
alcoholic beverages would not be lost.

May 4, 1919, was received as an indlca-
tion that the bill is opposed at the
White House.
Such a provision was inserted by the
House Agricultural Committee after the
bill had passed the Senate, but it was
voted down in the House. As the bill
has been sent to conference and the
senate never has voted on that provi-
zion, a joint resolution OF Congress
would be necessary 90 enact t.
In urging such a resolution letters
from French, Italian and Spanish am
bassadors and the Portuguese minister
have been sent TO Congress. urging the
provision be enacted in order TO pre-
5ent economic difficulties between the
United States and their countries.
Secretary Lansing explained that fail

tries would result in treaty difficulties.
