              Annual Spring Fashion Promenade
of Living: Models Will be Held on
March 21st, 22nd, and 23rd
The Hershey Department Store's Eas-ter
showing of newest styles in men's and
women's wearing apparel and the annual
Spring Fashion Promenade of Living
Models will be held on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday afternoon • and evening,
March 21st, 22nd, and 23rd.
This year the Spring clothes, while
being a trifle subdued in colors, were
never more beautiful in style and the
materials and workmanship were never
finer.
The tendency to lean towards the mil-itary
ideas in styles is coming to the fore
in the newest suits and coats for both
men and women.
The colors are wonderful, though very
moderate of tone and not of gorgeous
hue as in the preceding seasons. Military
colors predominate, Belgian blue, "Sam-my"
brown, khaki, sand, navy blue,
taupe and pearl gray, are the wanted
shades in women's clothes. Checks are
very good as well, and in demand. In
millinery, flowers and fruit vie with rib-bons
and feathers in the trimming of the
really new models that are being shown.
Men's clothing, conservative and also
ultra in style will be shown on models as
well, and the materials, the styles and the
workmanship are the products of Ameri-ca's
finest tailoring shops.
Altogether, the assemblage of new mer-chandise
and the effort to show it in
beautiful surroundings will be the largest
effort the Hershey Department Store ever
put forth. Come and you will see that
this section of Lebanon Valley has a shop-ping
centre to compare only with the big
cities.

Cross Benefit
Bringing New Customers to Hershey
Department Store from Adjacent
Towns and Country Districts
The pay-half the car fare' idea which
was started last Friday at the Hershey
Department Store is evidently appreciated
and is bringing many more people to
Hershey to shop in the big store. Folks
from the surrounding towns are amply
rewarded for their trip when they see such
a wide variety- of merchandise to select
from. This- is especially true this Spring
for the showing of new, fashionable goods
wer never more complete. In silks for
Spring, (the display, ever changing, for
silk is the wanted material for dresses.)
Our silk buyer has excelled all former ef-forts
to produce beautiful goods at won-derfully
moderate prices. In millinery,
the newest of the models from New York
are arriving every day, in fact, every de-partment
is coming out with Spring raim-ent.
Until April 1st the Hershey Department
Store will continue to pay half the car
fare to every purchaser of $1.00 or more
worth of goods bought in any depart-ment,
except drugs, groceries, meats, and
green groceries. Hummelstown, Pal-myra,
Annville, Campbelltown and Eliza-bethtown
folks as well as the country
districts between are the.ones whom this
offer will benefit.
Be sure and read the announcement of
the Easter showing of new styles and
promenade of living models, March 21st,
22nd and 23rd.

Well Received
Treasure and Trinket Week in Her-shey
Brings Forth Large Quantity
of Metal Trinkets for Metal Pot
The drive made by the Boy Scouts of
Hershey for the Treasure and Trinket
week, that closed last Saturday evening,
brought in all manner and kinds of trinkets.
It is surprising that the boys did so well,
especially as they didn't get into the
spirit of the campaign until about Wed-nesday,
but from that time up to the clo&-
ing hour on Saturday evening they kept
Scout Master Jno. Snavely busy taking
care of the trinkets that they brought in.
In all they brought in four boxes. One
large box was filled with clocks, silver
pitchers, sugar bowls, spoons, knives, forks,
and goodness knows what. Another box
contained a goodly amount of tin foil,
about 100 pounds. A smaller box was
filled with pins, rings, bracelets, and many
other articles too numerous to mention
(using the wording of the sale bill.) An-other
box contained watches, about twenty,
gold, silver, and nickel, and tin, and a large
number of chains, mostly brass. All the
trinkets will go into the . melting pot, and
the proceeds will be "devoted to supplying
necessaries and comforts for our aviators. "
The Treasure and Trinket week was
conducted by the Hershey Y. W. C. A.,
and Miss Anneta Kilmore wishes to thank
the people of Hershey for their generous
contributions and also wishes to thank
the Boy Scoiits for their inteses£ taken in
the campaign.

In America the Housewife is Put on
Her Honor to Conserve Food and
Abolish Extravagent Habits
The housewife in England who is found
throwing away an edible slice of bread may
be imprisoned or fined as much as $300.
There are similar fines for wasting eggs
by making cake that is too rich, for wast-ing
sugar in frostings and for feeding
crumbs to a canary.
In France the baking of pastry or bis-cuits
from flour that is fit for bread is
prohibited. The person who is found eat-ing
pastries in a public eating place is
liable to imprisonment or fine. '
But in America the housewife is put
on her honor to conserve food arid abolish
extravagant habits. She is her own police-man.
A shining example of how quickly and
enthusiastically the housewives of America
have responded to this honor system in
conserving food is to be found in the gar-bage
collection in the principal cities of
the country. The last November gar-bage
collection was 11 per cent lower t han
the November collection of 1916. The
housewives of Galveston, Texas broke the
record for any individual city by reducing
their garbage collection to two-thirds less
than what it was last November!
This shows what splendid results may
be obtained when American women once
set their shoulders to a task. There is
hardly a woman in the country now who
has not stopped the leaks in her kitchen
through which edible, wholesome food
formerl y found its way into the gar-bage
can.
substituted for it either in whole or in
part, the wheat is being wasted almost as
much as if . it were thrown into the gar-bage
can. At any rate it isn't going to
feed a soldier as it should.
This applies to the making of cakes,
puddings, and pastry as well as to the
making of bread. It is unfair for any
housekeeper to make these more or less
fancy dishes out of all wheat and so use
up the flour that her neighbor is care-fully
saving by eating Victory Bread.
It is unnecessary on the other hand to
give up cakes and puddings altogether
for all of these may be made with combina-tion
flours with only a sriiall "proportion
of wheat, or as many ingenious house-keepers
have already found , they may be
made without any wheat at all.
There are, on the other hand, many
women who are scrupulous in most ways
about saving food, but who are uncon-sciously
wasting a considerable amount of
the most needed food for the Allies—
wheat.
Whenever wheat flour is used when
rye, cornmeal, or barley might have been

ten times more butter than he needed was
because he though the price might go
