A lively tilt occurred between Mr..

of the chamber, when Mr.. Brown mem
toned the fact that Mr.. Sinclair had
attended to matters for the chamber
which the secretary had beenstoo busy
to handle. Mr.. Grant arose and asked
Mr.. Brown if he did not know that
during his long connection as secre-
tary of the chamber he had always
attended promptly to thousands of
committee meetings and conferences
of the organizations.
At this point sther members present
arose and urged that the discussion
be dropped on the grounds that the
question of candidates for president
was not a proper matter to bring be-
fore the reconstruction committee
meeting and that it should be left for
the election meeting at Rauscher's

State Food Agents
Find Queer Things

Sixty-four arrests for violation of
the fresh egg" act of 1919, which
forbids the sale of stale eggs as
fresh, were made in 16 counties of
the State during October, according
to the report of the State Bureau
of Foods. The arrests were made
as the result of some sampling of
| eggs which when tested by chemists
showed that the chazalaza, which is
the test of an egg, was not in a
state known rs fresh. Some of the
eggs had gone beyond the fresh
stage by many days.
The Bureaus agents also caused
the arrest of ITO per sons for the
sale of milk that did not come up
to State standards at all. Twenty
three samples of milk were found
watered, while rs samples were be-
low the State standard for fats. The
arrests were made in SO counties and
resulted from a wholesale sampling.
In one instance manure was sfound
in milk and a stiff fine was imposed.
Some arrests were made for
tainted drinks, cockroaches being
discovered in ginger ale and dead
flies in lemon pop" Two arrests
were made for sale of cider that was
in hard" state and various arrests
were made for sale of beverages
which contained coal tar dyes, sac
charm. Chemicals were also dis
covered by chemists in some of the
foods and drinks turned in.
The activities of the agents are
being continued this month and some
interesting reports are expected.

LEGION HELPS
RED CROSS SEALS
Men Who Downed the Huns
Fighting the White
Plague

The Pennsylvania men who helped
break the Hindenburg line have
joined in the big battle to conquer
the white plague. Members of the
American Legion are taking an ac-
tive part in the Christmas Seal Cam
paign which has for its object an
intensive crusade next year to lessen
tuberculosis. Former service men
are assisting in the formation of the
| seal organizations in many State
counties and will be among the most
active workers when the sale begins
December 1.
Seeing the increased need for a
certed onslaught on tuberculosis
as revealed through the draft,
Major w. G.. Murdock. State Adju-
tant OF the Legion, who was chief
draft officer in Pennsylvania during
the war, has sent letter to each
State post urging full support of the
white plague fight. Major Murdoch
tance of the present Red Cross
| Christmas Seal drive cannot be over
estimated. The proceeds derived
| from the sale of these seals will be
| used in stamping out the dreaded
white plague. The Physical exami-
nations during the draft revealed the
extent to which this terrible disease
has progressed. In Pennsylvania
alone the draft boards rejected ap-
proximately 5000 young men on ac-
| count of tuberculosis. Three thou
sand more were rejected when they
reached camp. During the war 15
per cent of the men in service receiv-
ing medical attention were victims
OF this disease. When we take into
| consideration the thousands of wo-
men and children and men over 35.
| of whom the army has no record, we
can realize the Importance of stop
ping the progress of this disease. The
duty of the people in this matter Is
too clear to doubt for a minute the
ultimate success of this Christmas
Seal drive"
In Lehigh county the American
Legion as an organization is in
charge of the seal sale. Harry G.
Blank, chairman of the Lehigh
County Legion, is head of the seal
committee. Mr.. Blank. who was one

Whereas, The fighting and work
ing efficiency of the Nation depends
upon the public health, all .organiza-
tions whose efforts minister to
healthier manhood and womanhood
in this land deserve the support Of
the members of the American
Legion.
Especially mindful of the ravages
of tuberculosis as revealed not only
by the military records, but by the
statistics from civil life, we commend
the work being done by the National.
State and county Anti-Tuberculosis
Societies. We, therefore, commend
to our memberships and to the pub
lie the campaign to promote the sale
of Red Cross Christmas Seals, and
pledge our support to the efforts
being made to eradicate the white
plague"
