people flock about the city truck

quality of the goods and the fair
prices for truck raised on their own

Il believe that Allentown has the
only practical plan to control the
unfair food dealer. We have a large
supply which we produce on our
own farm. We have control of the
markets and we are able to go out
into any section where there IS
profteering and break down unrai.
prices. 1t is only one more step
for the municipality to buy all
classes of foodstuffs and using the
same tactic, deal with the unfair
food purveyor in every part of the
city.
High prices of all commodities
we shall have with us the rest of
our lives. We must, therefore, de-
velop more economical system of
distribution. The MUNICIPALITIES,
must make food supply and control
part of the function of government.
To do this, the city must have
practical experience. Allentown can
prove the value of these methods; :;
from the results we are getting. On
our great farm we can raise cattle,
sheep, hogs, poultry. beans, fruit,
truck and the other larger food
crops. We can produce an amount
sufficient to influence the price
throughout the city. Reasonable q
food dealers need fear nothing
from municipal competition, but

Summer-Spoiled Skin
Removed by Absorption

AS undue summer exposure usually
leaves an undesirable surface of tan,
redness or roughness, often freckles,
too, the sensible thing to do is to re-
move such surface. There's nothing
better for this than ordinary merco-
lized wax, which actually absorbs an
unwholesome complexion. The thin
layer of surface skin is itself absorb
ed, gently, gradually, so there's no
inconvenience, no detention indoors.
Spread the wax lightly over the en-
tire face at bedtime and take it off in
the morning with warm water. If
you will get one ounce of mercolized
wax at the drugstore, use it for n
week or so, you may expect mark ed
improvement daily. When the under
lying skin is wholly in view your
complexion will be a marvel of spot
less purity and beautiful whiteness.

STATE EAGER TO
GUST MOSQUITOES
Officials Want Harrisburg to
Bestir Itself to Show State
How to Do the Work

State Departm OF Health Of
ficials have worked out plan for
demonstrating to the cities of the
State the feasibility of the mosquito
eradication system put into effect
along the Delaware in the vicinity
of Philadelphia and Chester and it
has been offered to the city of Har-
risburg to make practical test, the
only condition being that the mu-
nicipality bear the cost of the filling
and oil. The State authorities have
marked out the places in Harrisburg
and vicinity where engineers have
located mosquito breeding places
and prepared plan suitable for
each spot. In case that Harrisburg
takes up the project officials of
other cities will be invited here to
see it worked out.
Mosquitoes have been caught and
observed by State engineers here and
the malaria carrying type has been
identified, which makes the State au-
| thorities all the more desirous of get
| ting some action in Harrisburg.
| This will make Il chance not only
to get rid of an intolerable and pre-
Nentable nuisance, but also of dem
onstrating to the State that Harris
burgis not afraid of a few dollars.
An official communication asking
what Harrisburg proposes to do will
be sent to Council within a few days.
The Penn Central Light and
Power Company, and the Northern
Cambria Light, Heat and Power
Company, operating extensively in
Central Pennsylvania counties, have
filed notices of addition of coal

With the establishment of I1al

there has been a noticeable check in
the efforts of foreign residents of this

for Europe. The check is SAID to

ccived in the mails that conditions
in the foreign countries are Iot as
good as in this country.

crs have left the borough for New

MOSQUITOES IN
NORTHERN PART
CITY MUST LEAVE
Lalance-G e-Grosjean Will De-
liver Ashes to Fill in
Marsh Land

. A plague of mosquitoes is giving
Harrisburg much cause for violent
protest, especially in the northern
part of the city. DR.. j. NJ. j. Raun-
ick, the city health officer, is au-
thority for the statement that the
malaria mosquito has taken pos
session of the marshland in the
Hoffman Woods district. He feels
that too much attention cannot DC
given this invasion unless the peo-
pie are to risk an outbreak of ma
laria. Already he has interested the
Lalance-Grosican Company IN over
coming the marsh conditions. This
company has agreed to deliver its
surplus ashes to the amount of at
least 90 tons a week and DR.. Raun-
ick believes that within n month
the malaria area will have been
filled and the peril overcome.
Property owners who have neg
lected to cut the weeds from their
vacant real estate holdings are con-
tributng in large measure to the
mosquito invasion. A number have
already been arrested and fined and
it is probable several prominent
citizens who are neglecting their
duty in this respect will be hailed
before magistrate in the near Gu-
ture.
State Health Commissioner Mar
tin and his forces are doing their
utmost to make Harrisburg an ideal
city from the standpoint of healtn
and the cooperation of the people
is naturally expected. Any failure
on the part of the citizens of Har-
risburg may be responsible for dis
ease and death.
The Child Welfare survey and the
stations since established for the
care of babies and children will re-
suit in great benefit and already
much has been accomplished. Still
more will be achieved when the peo-
pie in all parts of the city respond
to the call for this service
