brought to bear upon her mother, as a
result of which she beQueathed her

A DISCOVERY THAT
BENEFITS mankind

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
in 1885 Newton originated the vac
uum process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to a semi-Aqmd form.
In 1883 Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to a dry
ponder form with extract of matted
grains, rrithom cane sugar.
This product HoRuck named
Matted Milk. Name since copied
by others.) Its nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
lby simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy
to old age.

FOOD COMMITTEE
IS PLAYING A
WAITING "GAME''
Expect Prices of Foodstuffs
to Come Down With
New Crops

That the people of Harrisburg may
look for canned goods and other food
stuffs at a lower cost in the very near
future is the belief of Mayor Daniel
l.. Keister and the majority of the
members of his Municipal Food Com
mittee. Nothing new in figures has
turned up, but reports have been in
circulation that shortly surplus
goods now in the hands of packers
Will be let loose in order to make
room for the new supply now coming
in.
What effect this will have on the
government prices cannot be eX-
planned at this time. Mayor Keister
is of the opinion that it must be
waiting game. and that no definite
steps should be taken until Lieut.
J. r. Boyle gives his information to
the committee In other cities
throughout the United States there
has been q halt in buying government
goods, because of the likelihood of
further cut in wholesale and re-
tail prices.
1t is probable a meeting of the
subcommittee will be held saturday,
and the general committee will be
called together on Monday to hear
report on new prices and recommen-
dations. Attention was called by one
housewife yesterday that she was
able to buy at retail certain canned
goods much lower than the prices
quoted by the government. This is
just what the committee hopes to
overcome if a purchase is made. 1t
is expected that Captain Stine will
have some interesting information on
his return to Harrisburg tomorrow,
and will call meeting for Satur-
dav

Of six per cent, was offered to the

Conference.
Harry A. Wheeler of Chicago, for
mer president of the Chamber Of
Commerce OF the United States
which assem- bled the conference, eX-
planned that hearings had been held
for six months, at which shippers,
railroad men, labor union officials
and bankers had been heard. The
plan evolved was said to be a COM
bination of the best features of plans
already put forward, with some new
elements. assembled into what the
conference regarded as a harmoni-
Gus whole.

until remedial legislation is enacted
was urged by the conference, with
the limitation that such legislation
should be enacted this year. With

there should be made available by
Congress a railroad reserve fund of
$5OO,00O,000, administered by he
proposed Federal Transportation
Board for the stabilization of the
roads credit and to facilitate the
recommended consultations. The
sum eventually would be returned to
the Government.
Favor Six Per Cent. Return
Government guarantee of earnings
was not favored by the conference.
Instead, it was urged that the Inter
state Commerce Commission be
made responsible for rates and fares
designed to yield the carriers in each
designated traffic section not less
than per cent. upon the aggregate
fair value of the property. Those
roads earning more than per cent.
would be required to put half the
excess into a company contingent
fund until the fund amounted to
per cent. of the fair value of the
company's property, the other half
going to a general railroad conting-
ent fund administered by trustees
by Government authority
and maintained for the benefit of all
the railroads of the country.
