STATE OF INDIANA STARTS A WAR ON STARCH-FRONT PIES

"Rinse 'em a bit and use plenty of starch." No, It's not the foreman talking to Nell, the beautiful laundry worker, busy with a bunch of linen collars. No, no! It's the boss baker telling his asistant how to fix up a batch of fruit for a nice pie. Just another stiff proposition for the restaurant patron. The pie looks fine; its filling stands up bravely and temptingly, but it tastes like Monday morning. Incidentally, the baker saves about one-half the cost of a real pie. By logarithms the patron can figure out just how he pays twice as much for a piece of pie that is worth only half what he pays for it. If the pie isn't eaten after the customer buys it, it makes good "garbage, and garbage is worth money these days. So, why should the restaurant owner kick? I. L. Miller, state food and drug commisioner, has raised his ample

boot to kick the starch out of these

fake pies that have been put on the market In Indiana by unscrupulous

takers, large and small. His action

is based on samples of bakery pies analyzed in the state laboratory. Prosecution Is Threatened.

C. V .Stansby, an inspector for the

department, rounded up the specimens In various parts of the state. The in

spector found that in . some large plants the quantity of starch used in

pies is practically standardized, while

the smaller bakers follow their own

sweet will.

Some use one-third, others one-half,

as a substitute for the fruit a pie or

dinarily should contain. Ordinarily,

a starch filer of about l-12th of the

volume is used. Commissioner Miller is sending cop

ies of the state law to bakers and threatens to begin prosecutions unless

the adulteration Is stopped. Under

the statute the excessive use of starch

or any gelatinous material as a substitute for fruit or normal filler is a violation of the law. Various inspectors have reported to the comisioners that a great many patrons, particularly of dairy lunch rooms, take one bite of pie and then push it away in disgust when they find that its appetizing appearance is only a delusion.

FILTRATION SYSTEM CONTRACT LET; TO COST CITY $34,000 EATON, O., Aug. 14 After the fourth letting, contract finally has been awarded for construction of a filtration plant for the city waterworks system. Burgess & Niple, Columbus, O., received the contract, at Jheir bid of $34,000, and work on the improvement will be started next Monday. The contract was awarded Thursday by the Board of public affairs,, after bids for the contract were opened. At the first letting all bids received were regarded too high an they were rejected. At the Becond letting it developed that the bonds Issued for the improvement had not been sold, as anticipated, and the contract was not let. Burgess & Niple, Columbus, were successful bidders at the third letting, but it was discovered that the legaj notice for reception of bids had not been published a sufficient length of time, so the contract was not awarded and the letting was readvertised in order to make the proceeding regular. At the last letting four bids were submitted. Two bids were rejected because they did not include all the work and material. The third bid was rejected because it was conditional. A bond issue of $27,500 has been

floated for the improvement. Much difficulty was experienced in selling the bonds, with the result that finally the state public utilities commission

took over the bonds.

The board of public affairs declared the filtration plant was an absolute necessity, owing to the fact, the board

declared, that the water supply from the driven wells at the waterworks pumping station has been diminishing at an alarming rate the last year or two. Water from Seven Mile creek will furnish the city water supply after the filtration plant is placed in operation. ' The contractors expect to complete the improvement in three months. Bridge Improvement Let Minor bridge improvements aggregating a cost of $216.85 are to be made by Ed. Overholtz under verbal contract with the county commissioners. The six improvements are: Repair of bridge, Eaton-Hamilton road, near Camden, $75.10; bridge top, Somers township, near Pat Kirvin's, $11.70; repair of bridge on Township Line road, near McDonald's, $11.35; repair of bridge on Camden road, Gratis township, near Osa Loop's, $17.80; bridge top near Four Mile bridge, Somers township. $52.80. Wright & Craig have contracted verbally with the commissioners to paint a bridge on the Camden-West Elkton road, near Camden, for $180. Freeman Services Arranged Funeral services for Mrs. Kate Freeman, 92, who died at the Ohio Masonic home at Springfield, were held here Friday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock at the home of her nieces, the Misses Truax, and were conducted by the Rev. J. A. Bussard, of the Methodist church. Burial was in Mound Hill cemetery. Mrs. Freeman was the wife of the late I. E. Freeman, lawyer, of Eaton, and lived most of her life In Eaton. A step-daughter, Mrs. Lou Burdick, of Chicago, was present at the funeral. Yingling Conducts Services The Rev. J. E. Yingling, United Brethren church, conducted funeral services this morning at 9 o'clock for Mrs. Mamie Heck Shields, 32, wife of Roy Shields, at her home three miles south of Eaton, where she died Wednesday night. Burial was at Castine, Darke county. Homecoming for Christians. Upon the occasion of a visit from the Rev. Frederick Stovenour, Portland, Ind., the members of the Christian church at Campbellstown will hold a home-coming and jubilee service Sunday in the church. The Rev.

MARION MAN REJOINED BY FAMILY FROM RUSSIA MARION, Ind., Aug. 14 After a separation of 11 years, four years of

which time he did not know the fate

of his loved ones. Wolf Isekson, a merchant of this city, has been reunited to his family, consisting of his wife and three sons, who have arrived from their old home at Kalwarija, Russia, where they were during the world war. Mr. Isekon was unable to communicate with . them and feared their fate for many long months.

STOCKS UNSETTLED; BAD CROP REPORTS SWING GRAINS UP

NEW YORK, Aug. 14 Developments in the Russo-Polish situation, together with the continued depression in sterling, caused further unsettlement in the stock market this week. Although the market in general was less sensitive to those in

fluences than in the preceding week, the fall in prices again established a new low average for the year. Losses were more than made up, however, and the movement later was distinctly upward. The selling was accomplished by reports that the market was adjusting itself to the reaction in various trade lines. Pressure was not applied to any marked extent after the early days of the week, and business was curtailed sharply. This gave rise to a feeling that liquidation had run its course, at last for the time being, and that the bears, finding they had gone too far in their selling campaign, were buying back stocks. Buying was cautious, however, and the "rise was kept within moderate bounds. Bullish sentiment was tempered by the complex European situation and the erratic course of sterling exchange which fell seven 6ents and later recovered partially.

CHICAGO, Aug. 14 Bullish aspects of the government crop report together with active foreign demands have given an upward swing to the wheat market this week. Compared with a. week ago, wheat prices this morning were 4c to 6 cents higher; corn varied from lc lower to 2 Vic advance and oats were down H4c to lc. In provisions the difference ranged from 75c decline to a rise of 7c. Aggressive buying in the wheat market immediately followed the issuance of the government crop report. The government figures indicated decidedly worse damage to the spring crop than most traders had looked for, and besides a leading expert said that North Dakota wheat had deteriorated 15 per cent since the information was obtained on which the government report was based. Then it became apparent that export demand was broadening out to a notable degree. Yesterday, however, prospects of an armistice led to a reaction, and so too, did stoppage of railroad loadings for Galvestion. where the port facilities were temporarily swamped with grain.

COUNTIES ACCEPT HORIZONTAL RAISES

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 14 Hancock. Marlon and Shelby county boards of review Friday rescinded their previous action In canceling the 1919 horizontal tax increases and ordered the old valuations restored, the board of tax commissioners was . informed. Boone

county officials, following a, conference with the tax board intimated that the county board would rescind its cancelation order at once. The officials agreed that the valuations for the county as determined by the tax board in 1919 should be restored, but desired the percentages of increase distributed over the local taxing units in a different manner. The acceptance of the 1919 valuations by the county boards of review indicates that the horizontal increase orders were issued by the tax board

only arter a careful study of local con

ditions, it was declared today. . Ia the case of several counties, where the boards canceled the 1919 valuations, conferences between officials and the tax board have resulted in a reconsld- V eration of the orders. : More Counties Acting. Opponents of the horizontal increases, it is said, intimated that the 1919 orders of the board were made with little or no knowledge of local conditions. It has also been urged that the orders resulted in the overassessment

of some property.
