DEMOCRATS TO GET TOGETHER
Leaders in Philadelphia Plan to
Strengthen the Party There
Philadelphia, Nov. 6.—With the hof«
of placing t'he Democratic organization
upon a firmer basis, both in the city and
t'he State, prominent Democrats are now
planning for a big "get together'' din
ned to outline a program of action on
January 8. Phis date is the "Jackson
Day" of the party 'calendar, and 1915
marks the centennial of the Ba>ttle of
New Orleans. While plains for the din
ner are as yet in embryo, it is expected
that Democratic leaders from all sec
tions of the -State will <be invited and
every effort made to insure a large at
tendance.
Though no campaign of a State-wide
nature will be indulged in until the
spring of 1916. regular Democrats will
seek to strengthen their county organ
izations for the contests foT local offi
cers next year and to arrange for the
nomination of delegates to the next
Presidential election. In t'his city the
movement will seek to rehabilitate the
party for the Mayoralty election as a
prime move.

CAPITOL HILL
BASIS FOR PHONE RATES
BEFORE STATE COMMISSION
Expert Telephone Men Heard but Ex
perts in Rebuttal Will Give Their
Opinion Before the Public Service
Body at Next Meeting
Expert testimony as to what should
constitute a basis for telephone rates
was introduced before the Public'' Serv
ice Commission to-day by H. F. French,
representing the Chamber of Commerce
of Pittsburgh, and Assistant City So
licitor Charles K. Robinson, represent
ing the city or Pittsburgh. They
placed on the stand Professor E. W.
Bemis, who is a member of the Ad
visory Board of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the matter of fix
ing the valuation of interstate rail
roads, and .Dr. Whitten, who was form
erly statistician for the Public Service
Commission of New York.
These experts do not believe that the
replacement value of a plant should be
acepted as a basis for rates but seem
more inclined to the thought that the
cost of the property ought to receive
more consideration. They do not think,
however, that the replacement feature
ought to be entirely disregarded, be
cause the courts have been inclined to
that view and it would be useless to
disregard the attitude of these tribu
nals.
These experts were cross-examined
by the attorneys for the Bell Telephone
Company and it is expected that testi
mony in rebuttal will be introduced.

Guilty'* to Indictment
Xew ork, Nov. G. —William Rocke

by grasping his arm. Neither spoke
until they entered the court roo-m.

ten feet aw av Mr. Rockefeller said,
"Not guilty' - after iibe clerk had

Mr. Garver asked (She court for the cus
tomary period of grace in which the
plea might be withdrawn or changed—
a formal request that has beeu made
in the ease of the sixteen former di
rectors and directors of the New Haven
who were indicted last Monday.
Judge Foster replied that Mr. Rocke
feller would be given until November
23, the date that has been fixed in the
ease of the other defendants who ha\e
already pleaded. Of the tweuty-one
men indicted, Mr. Rockefeller was the
seventeenth to plead.
For the lirst time in the memory ol'
New York's newspaper photographers
Mr. Rockefeller consented to pose l'or
hia photograph. After lie ha* J stood
patiently in the sunlight till the pho
tographers had finished he was asked
if he had anything to say. He shook
his head and pointed to his throat.
"I can't talk," he whispered.
Mr. Garver walked beside him back
I to the automobile and together they
were driven back uptown to Mr. Rocke
! feller's home on Fifth avenue.
Yesterday afternoon Jo'hn L. Billaiil
entered a plea of not guilty to the in
dictment charging him with conspiracy.
He also gave 'bail in the sum of $5,000.

nation of Henry Prather Fletcher,
Oreencastle, a brother <yt' former Sheriff
J. Bo'we Fletcher, of Harritfburg, to fill
the post of Ambassador to Chile has
been received with much favor in the
Soutih American country.
"La Manana," a newspaper publish
ed in Santiago, ■Chile, in its issue of Oc
tober 6, as translated into English, has
the following to say of "The North
American Ambassador in Ciiile:"
"The government of the United
States of North America has designated
as its high representative in our conn

His Excellency. (MT. Fletcher, who was
already filling the post of minister plen

has been most 'highly successful.
"The government of Washington
could not have selected another person
Who would have limited better condi

making closer tfoe relations between the
two countries than His Excellency, Mr.
Fletcher.
"This wise diplomat is justly appre
ciated in our country, in whose society
he enjoys high and distinguished esti
mation. It is not Strange, therefore,
that the official news of his appoint
ment should have been received with
pleasure in all social spheres, and the
congratulations, official as well as per
sonal, of which he has 'been t'he object,
show the ties o'f appreciation 'which Mr.
Fletcher has won among us.
"Within a Short time our govern
ment. will receive him in the elevated
character of Ambassador, and this cere
mony will 'be invested with especial
solemnity.
"For our part (and we understand
that the government is of this opinion)
wo ought to hasten in reciprocating tho
courtesy of t'he government of Wash
ington, proceeding with the appointment
of the person who will represent Chile
in the great republic with the rank of
ambassador.
"We understand that it is a settled
thing that the appointment in tbiis char
acter of Mr. Sua re/. Mujica, our present
minister plenipotentiary, will be dis
eased in the Senate.
"This livsher rank in t'he diplomatic
representation of both coini'tries, w*hieih
coitwides with special factors whiclt
cannofc pass unnoticed by public o>pin
ion. should influence in a decisive man
ner the closer approximation and maiko

Is Quickly Digested by the Taking of
a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet
After It is Over
Corn 011 the cob is hard to digest,
for some folk, but with a Htuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet it readily is disposed
of by the stomach and digestive ap
paratus.
Don't drug your stomach. Give it
just what it needs at the very mo
ment it needs it. Here is the way a
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet acts:
ll,—can corn now 1 eel
O. K. A Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet will
quickly digest it."
One takes a tablet just after the
meal is completed. It is taken into
the mouth like food; is mixed with
the saliva; swallowed moistt and par
tially dissolved. It goon into the stom
ach and is there mixed with the stom
ach juices which are composed of acids
and alkalies.
A Htuart's Dyspepsia Tablet re-in
forces these juices. It quickly digests
the elements which such weakened
juices cannot digest-
After a while the stomach passes the
meal partially digested to the in
testines, where it goes through another
stage of digestion. Here, as in the
stomach, Htuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
strengthen the juices of digestion and
complete the work of giving the body
the benefit of tile meal.
There is nothing harmful fn these
tablets. Only natural ingredients
which the body lacks are supplied. In
a short time the blood and digestive
juices are given the power they lack.
Man can digest any food without in
jury and the entire health of the body
is increased. Stuart's Dyspopsia Tab
lets are sold wherever drugs are sold,

DIET AND DIGESTION
Length of Time Different Foods Re
main in the Stomach
Few people could make an accurate
j guess as to the length of time different
I foods remain in the stomach. The
! popular ideas as to what are the most
i digestible foods are all wrong or near
,ly so. In eating chieken, for instance,
one imagines that he is sure of a rapid
' digestion, and yet chicken meat re
| mains in the stomach, under normal
| conditions, for foar hours. Duck,
j which is generally supposed to be
; much more difficult to digest than
j chicken, remains for only two hours.
A hard boiled egg lasts for four
hours which is much longer than the
j average, whereas boiled fish remains
] for only an hour and a half.
It is :t very common mistake to sup
pose that well boiled beet' is very
easily digested, while as a matter of
fact it remains in the stomaeli for six
hours, which is louder than any other
common article of food. Tripe, 011 the
other hand, remains for only one hour
in the stomach and is one of the
easiest of all food to digest.
A period ot one ami a half hours is
required for apples, celery, cheese and
oysters, while twice this time is re
quired by rye bread, onions, sausage or
raw milk.—'Boston Herald.
Father and Sou
A certain Chicago 'business man is
the father of a you'ilh of'a most literal
tendency. Last, spring, when tlhe fa
ther left for Europe, where lie was to
spend the entire summer, he promised
the lad that if 'ho were to attain a
certain mark an ihis studies his reward
would ibe a continental trip with his
father.
The prospect of such a trip stimulated
the lad to such a degree that he at
tained a mark even hig'her than that
sett, him by his parent. 'He ealbled his
father t'he one word, "Yes."
It would seem, however, that the pa
ter had forgotten 'his nfl'er, for after
thinking over the message he eabled
back. "Yes, what?"
Then, in turn, the son was fierplexed.
Finally, after due reflection, he cabled
i 'bo 'h'is father, "Yes, sir.'*—Detroit
Free Press.
Something Suitable
"When a statesman has something
to say, let him say it," said a Con
gressman. "But this continual getting
up and talking on every subject under
the sun just for the sake of getting
one's name in the papers—well, that
