HARRISBURG, Penn. Oct 20
Pennsylvania political situation is a
peculiar anti-climaX. All the fuss and
feathers, all the drama and all the pent
up feeling on the subject of Republican
bosses reached its climax with the NOM
ination of Clifford Pinchot for governor.
Since then the campaign has been inter
esting chiefly because of the lack of in,

party workers who III years gone by used
TO corral the vote in the last two weeks
and put the grand old party over the
hurdles with record breaking majOrities.
Democrats of prominence wiz look
you in the eye today and talk confidently
of winning or at least cutting down to
insignifcance the size of the PinchGt
majority. Certain surface signs would
seem to justify Democratic optimism.
For one thing Clifford Pinchot is an out
and out dry. He is just as dry ii a wet
city when he is campaigning as he is in
a dry country district. There's not ii
drop of moisture i'll any of his speeches
Farmer AcSparln, VINO Is the Demo
cratic nominee for governor, is much less
rigid. He will acquire wet votes whether
he makes a bid for them or not.
PenrOse Is Missed.
Another thing which cannot be over
looked is the absence of penrOse. This
state has been accustomed to political
bosses The Republican party has func-
toned smoothly because one man issued
commands and one man engineered the
collection and distribution of campaign
funds There IS no big Republican fund
this year. The big contributors, namely.
certain railroads and corporate interests
and liquor folks. would not dare hand
any hard money to Clifford Pinchot who,
by the way. is financing his own cam
paign. And without money for the party
workers there will be little enthusiasm.
Already the talk is of light vote.
In the days of PenrOse things We're
different. Then there was no such thing
as a light vote If Indifference prevailed.

PREVENT MOLD IN BUTTER TUBS

Under the supervision of the depart. ment several million pounds of but. ter have been packed in tubs and liners treated in this manner and no cases of mold have been reported.
 A number of methods of treating tubs and liners have been tried out in comparison with the one just described, but no other has been equally success. full. Some tubs and liners were mere ly soaked in cold water, and in these the mold made an abundant growth. When the tubs and liners were soaked in a saturated solution of cold brine the growth of the mold was somewhat reduced Butter in tubs that were soaked in water and steamed for 30 seconds with live steam, and lined with liners that had been dipped in a sat. urated solution of boiling brine, de veloped very little mold; but results were still better when parafin and salt were used as described above.
 The treatment found most satisfac tory is inexpensive and meets the needs of creameries of any type and in any part of the country.

from the wind and from the direct rays of the sun. The object is to pre- vent the outside heat from passing in- to the interior and melting the ice; consequently every effort must be made to resist the passage of heat by placing in the walls a material or form of construction which will reduce the transfer of heat from the outside to the inside. No material known will entirely prevent the passage of heat, but several kinds of material, called nOn-conductOrs or insulatOrs. offer a high resistance to its passage. The best insulators appear to be those that contain entrapped air in the greatest number of small spaces.
 AS to the size, this must depend up on the amount of ice that will be need ed. A cubic foot of ice weighs about 57 pounds, so in storing ice it is cus- tomary to allow from 40 to 50 cubic feet per ton for the mass of ice, but the quantity that an ice house of a given size will hold depends upon the manner in which the ice is stored. Generally speaking, in the north it will take one and one-half tons for cooling the milk from each COW, and two tons per COW in the South. Allowing 90 cubic feet for ton of packed ice, ten tons will require about 500 cubic feet of space.
 Detailed figures as to capacity, to- gether with directions and building plans, are found in literature issued by the United States Department of Az riculture, which is always ready to an. swer inquiries on this as on other sub- jects pertaining to farm practice.

Business Woman Feared She Had
 Heart Trouble

"Since Tanlac has overcome a bad case of indigestion and nervousness of three or four years standing for me, my work here in the store Is a pleasure, and I am certainly grateful for the good health it has given me- said Mrs. J. W. Pickins, of 516 E. 18th St., Los Angeles, who owns and oper. ates the book store at 219 Mercantile Place.
 ''I was so run down that I felt miser- able all the time. My sleep was broken and restless, had no appetite, and the gas from undigested food caused my heart to palpitate so I thought 1 had heart trouble For a time had a swelling in my legs, too, and it was an effort for me to get about.
 Tt is wonderful how Tanlac has given me such perfect relief from these troubles. I eat heartily now, sleep like a child at night, and just feel fine all the time"

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of ARrtculture.)
 While the Ice house is a common thing among the Outbuildings now found on many farms, yet there are many farms which do not have 1t. Farmers not enjOl ng this useful piece of equipment have need to consider, as fall comes along, what arrangements should be made so that they may have place ready to store ice when cold weather arrives.
 The selection of a site for an ice house Is very important. Other con- ditions being suitable, the ice house on a dairy farm should be placed as near as possible to the milk house, in order tc reduce the labo of handling and to encourage the more liberal use of ice. On a general farm the ice house should be located near the residence. To fa- cilitate drainage the ground on which the Ice house stands should be porous and slope away from the building. Ad- vantage also may be taken of the near ness of hills, trees, or buildings, which often afford protection from hot winds, thus saving ice.
 Type of Building.
 The construction of the ice house depends to a great extent upon local conditions, the size of the house, and the difficulty of obtaining ice. These factors help to determine the sum that may wisely be spent for such a build ing. Where ice is expensive or hard

 Need of Creameries.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 The growth of mold on butter In tubs Is a cause of great annoyance to deal CTS and a common source of loss to creameries. Preventive treatments de signed to do away with this trouble have been devised by various people, and these have been carefully studied by the United States Department of Agriculture. The treatment that has been found most successful consists in soaking the tubs in cold water, steam ing them for 30 seconds with live steam, paraffining the inner surface, and then rubbing over the paraffln with salt. In addition, the liners for the tubs are soaked for 30 minutes in a saturated solution of boiling brine.

Important to All Women
 Readers of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy con- dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irri- table and maybe Respondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such cOndi- tions.
 Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N Y, you may receive sam pie size bottle by parcel post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores-Advertisemen
