James Foust Tells of Work of
Food Division For the
Past Year

In statement of the work of the
Dairy and Food Division of the Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture
for the past year, along with a rec
ord of the operation of the division
from 1907 to 1918, inclusive. James
Foust Dairy and Food Commissioner,
gives some information which affords
an idea of the growth of the division s
work, its cost and the benefits that
have accrued.
The business has increased stead
lily in volume from year to year, with
the result that last year was'a record
breaker along all the lines of it's ac-
tivity. The receipts from all sources
during the year were $4SS,S55.12, but
in this connection it is interesting
to note that only very small por-
tion of this large sum was collected
in the form of fines. Oleomargarine
licenses netted S461, ,39O.01 and cold
storage licenses $4,000, a total of
s464,690.01, leaving the receipts from
fines but $24,165.11.
Local Violations
With comparatively few exceptions,
the fines We're imposed for local vio-
lations The enforcement of the laws
during the previous years had al
ready brought about the breaking up
of wholesale fraud and adulterations
of staple prepared foodstuffs and the
fines imposed in connection with this
class of goods are negligible in num-
ber.
Commissioner Foust was first ap-
pointed to his present position by
Governor Stuart in 1907. At that
time thirty per cent. of all the pre-
pared foodstuffs on the market was
adulterated; now authorizations are
rarely found and the prosecutions are
chiefly directed against local viola
tors selling such articles as ice
cream, milk, vinegar, sausage and
other meats and against cold storage
products.

the days of the canals and many
were the tales he told of the old
river day when in O. reminiscent
mood. He was in full sympathy with
the project of making the Susque-
hanna river navigable and looked for
ward to the time when Harrisburg
would again become a river port.

survived by two sons, Jacob and
Isaac, and a. daughter, Mrs. John

BACKS HOUSING
CAMPAIGN; HOPES
IT TWILLSPREAD
Canadian Builder Writes a
Helpful Letter to the Har-
risburg Telegraph

n. r. Thompson, a well-known
general contractor, identified with
Schultz Bros. Company, of Brant-
ford, Ontario, now stopping at the
Penn-Harris on business trip, has
written letter to the Telegraph en-
dorsing this newspapers housing
campaign and expressing the hope
that it may become statewide. Mr..
Thompson has had wide experience
in building and his observations are
TO the point and we'll worthy of con-
sideration. His letter follows:
II have just read your editorial
in the evening paper regarding the
Mayors message relative to housing
conditions.
1T is along the right lines; what
a shame it was not the Governors
message and made statewide.
The proper way to handle n sub
ject so big, so vitality essential that
it may prove serviceable, is by joint
cooperation between municipal and
state authorities.
"First-PasS q state building law
so as to insure uniformity in build
ings. that one locality or municipal
ity may not have advantage over
either the adjoining or distant mu-
inequalities through having erected
'contagion traps so as to be able to
advertise cheap homes that really
are the cause of expensive hos
pitals, etc, etc.
"Second-Place the state building
lew under the State Department of
Health to see that it is enforced.
"Third-Have it necessary for all
buildings to be designed by a reg
istered architect holding a state Ii
cense, SO as to insure building code
being enforced and attach a penalty
TO the architect of forfeiture of his
architectural license if the plans and
specifications made by him are not
in accordance with the state build
ing law; and license the contractor
and attach a penalty of forfeiture of
his license if he builds other than
according to state law. In this way
better buildings can be assured and
first-class, reliable architects and
builders will hardly complain as
they have nothing to fear, as better
buildings are a monument to their
daily works.
II said cooperation is the way
10 secure better buildings, L have
outlined a short sketch whereby the
state, the municipalities, the archi-
Nocts, the contractors and the med
ical health officials cooperate. If
that will not produce better build
lngs would appreciate learning just
how they can be obtained. q
Yours very truly,
IN. r. THOMPSON"

CIVIC CLUB TO
HOLD SUPPER
Must Raise Funds TO Continue
Work Being Done by The
Visiting Nurse

The visiting nurse committee of
the Civic Club will hold a supper
Thursday evening, January 2s. In
the rooms of the Red Cross head
quarters, 112 North Harrisburg
street. Supper will be served from
8 to o'clock. Plates will be so cents,
The supper is being held in order
to raise the funds necessary for the
continuance of the splendid work be-
ing done by the visiting nurse of
Steelton, Miss George winship.
This is the first time that the club
has appealed to public aid for help
in support of this work, since June.
1916, when a street carnival was
held. 1t is hoped, therefore. that the
supper will receive the most liberal
patronage possibls. Five hundred
plates has been set for the goal, and
little trouble is anticipated in secur-
ing that number. In addition to the
supper, homemade delicacies will be
for sale.
The work of the visiting nurse has
been such that absolute suffering
would result from the abandoning
of the work. Her work takes her
into the homes of families of every
walk of life, and her help in all
kinds of sickness and emergencies
has been such as to win for her the
splendid commendation of all. Dur
ing the influenza epidemic her work
was the means of saving hundreds
of lives and untold suffering.

supper is: Mrs. Arvilla Keister, Mrs.
