TUESDAY EVENING,
PEISY OFFICIALS
CHANGE PASS ORDER
Dependent Members of Families of
Railroaders Will Travel
Free
Official announcement of the with
drawal of the order prohibiting trip
passes or the uso of annual passes by
wives and members of tbo fajnilies of
the employes of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, in accordance with the de
cision of the Public Service Commis
sioners, was received in Harrlsburg
at noon to-day, and came from Vice-
President W. W. Atterbury. through
General Manager S. C. Long. The
official order Is as follows:
By general notico dated No
vember 20, 1013, officers and em
ployes weer advised that, under
the terms of the public service
company law of tho State of
Pennsylvania, the free transporta
tion between points within that
State of members of their fami
lies would not be permissible
after January 1, 1914, and that
tlio issue of {Misses covering sncli
transportation after that date
would consequently bo discon
tinued.
Ti»e Public Service Commission
of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania. by its administrative
ruling No. 1, lias ruled that the
granting by railroad comnanles
of free passes to their officers and
employes to be used for the trnns
]>ortation of dependent members
of their families would not bo re
garded by the commission as a
violation of tho provisions of tho
public service company law.
This ruling will be accepted as
affording protection against ex
action of penalties for the issu
ance of passes to dependent
members of the families of officers
and employee, and the general no
tice of November 20, last, is
therefore annulled.
A supplemental order is expected
from General Manager Long giving I
detailed Instructions as to the issu-1
ance of passes, and in the meantime
trip passes will bo Issued as in the j
past until otherwise ordered. It is the
belief, however, that instructions will
follow covering violations of the pass
privileges.

Application For Continued
Control of Ships Heard
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Feb. 17. —Hear-
ings began to-day before Commis
sioner McChord 011 tho application ot
the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
Northern Central Railway to the In
terstate Commerce Commission for re
lelf from the operation of that pro
vision of the Panama Canal act which
requires interstate railroads to divest
themselves of ownership or control of
steamship and other water lines be
fore July 1, 1914. The law provides
that if the commission should find
that the operation of water lines by j
railroad companies does not "exclude,
prevent or reduce competition" be- i
tween the rail and water carriers it
may permit the railroads to .continue
to operate the water carriers.
An order Issued last autumn by the
commission gave all railroads until
March 1 to file applications for the
retention of their water lines after
July 1. Eight formal applications thus
far have been filed and as many more
are in readiness to be submitted. In
each instance the applicant asserts
that its rail lines do not compete with
its water lines and that the interests
of the commercial public are served
by the operation through the railroads
of the water lines.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING
IKES HAPPY HOMES
The Civic Club Learnt From
Milliard B. King's
Lecture
"Vocational training will lessen the
number of unhappy marriages; re
duce intemperance and do away with
much of the present day immorality.
This was the startling statement
made to tho members of the Steelton
Civic Club by Milliard B. Kins, of
the State Department of Education,
at a meeting at the home of Mrs. F. D.
Carney, North Harrisburg street, yes
terday afternoon.
Mr. King delivered a lecture on
"Prc-Vocatlonal Training." During
I the course of tho lecture ho asserted
that if cooking, sewing and other vo
cational Subjects were taughf our girls
in the public, schools, society as a
whole would bq bettered.
"We should teach our girls to cook
the simple dishes we use In our homes
every day," said Mr. King, "and forget
about the fancy dishes you hear of in
domestic science courses. The average
girl is married within five years after
she ieaves school. If she works, she
has no time to leam housekeeping out
of school. Teach It to her while she
is yet In school and she'll never for
get it."
Particular Interest centers in his
subject at this time, as preparations
are being made to have domestic sci
ence introduced Into the curriculum
of the Steelton schools. The Civic
Club liaJß been in favor of vocational
trull'in g in th local schools for years.
Last Fall Superintendent L. E. Mc-
Glnnes announced that he had rear
ranged the course of studies in such
a way that by next Fall some forms of
vocational training could be intro
duced. |

empted from paying State tax on cor
porate bonds they own. Tho law also
provides that if the bonds contain an
agreement that the issuing corporation
will pay the tax, the corporation must
deduct the tax from the interest.
Means Thousands
The bonds in question contained
such an agreement, but the Lehigh
Valley refused to pay on $4,598,000 of
bonds owned by savings institutions,
claiming an exemption, and declaring
the act unconstitutional. An appeal
was taken to the Dauphih County
Court and last April Judge Kunkel
ruled against the railroad, deciding
that the taxes must be paid. The case
was appealed to the Supreme Court,
which sustains the judgment.
It is estimated that more than a
hundred other corporations are affect
ed by the decision and the Auditor
General has figured that approxi
mately a million dollars may be col
lected in back taxes under the de
cision.
Estlmatlnjc Taxes
Acting under authority of State
taxation laws, the Auditor General's
Department will on March 1 begin
estimating the State taxes of corpo
rations which have failed to file their
reports of capital stock and loans.
The estimates will be based upon in
formation which is secured by the
department's officers and carries with
it a penalty of 10 per cent. All cor
porations are required to file by De
cember 81 a statement of their busi
ness for the year ending November 30.
When this is not done the department
has the right to estimate the value of
the stock for taxation purposes. Sev
eral hundred corporations are said to
be delinquent.
The department has finished the
settlements or estimates of all taxes
for 1912 and some which extended
further back, one settlement covering
six years, und is proceeding to make
collections.
A demurrer to the mandamus pro
ceeding to test, the anthracite coal tax
suit is to be filed within a few days
by the Attorney General's Department
nnd (he case will be argued in the
Dauphin County Court. Meanwhile
steps to compute this tax will he taken
by the State's fiscal authorities.

Have You Dyspepsia?
Can't Eat— Can't Sleep—Always in
Pain and Suffering
"Eat What You Want," S«y« ThW
Physician.
"Indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble are, in almost every
Instance, due to hyper-acidlty. Too
much add first produces dyspepsia and
Indigestion; next the stomach walls be
come Irritated and It is only a short
time until it eats through the wall*,
causing ulcers In the abdomen, which
In turn are followed by cancer and
death; therefore stomach sufferers are
required to avoid eating food that is
I acid in its nature, or which by chemi
cal action in the stomach develops
acidity. Unfortunately, such a rule
eliminates most foods which are pleas
ant to the taste as well as those which
are rich in blood, flesh and nerve
building properties. This is the rea
son why dyspeptics and stomach suf
ferers are usually so lacking in that
vital energy which can only come from
a well-fccl body. For the benefit of.
those sufferers who have been obliged
to exclude from their diet all starchy
sweet or fatty food, and are trying to
keep up a miserable existence on gluten
products, X would Ruggest that you
try a meal of any food or foods which
you may like In moderate amount, tak
ing Immediately afterwards a tea
spoonful of blsurated magnesia in a
little hot or cold water. This will
neutralize any acid which may bo pres
ent ,or which may be formed, and in
stead of the usual feeling of uneasi
ness and fullness, you will find that
your food agrees witli you perfectly.
Blsurated magnesia Is doubtless the
best food corrective and antacid
■ known. Drugs only upset the ston—
ttch. Blsurated magnesia has no di
rect action on the stomach; but by
neutralizing the acidity of the food
I contents, and thus removing the source
•of tile acid irritation which Inflames
tho delicate stomach lining, It does
[ more than could possibly be done by
any drug. As a physician I believe In
the use of medicine whenever neces
sary, but I cannot see the sense of
dosing an Inflamed and irritated stom
ach with drugs instead of getting rid
of the acid—the cause, of all the trou
ble. Get a little blsurated magnesia
from your druggist, eat what you want
at your next meal, take some of the
blsurated magnesia as directed above,
and you will find you sleep well and
the usual belching gas, sour stomach,
bloating, indigestion and other condi
tions entirely removed." Advertise

recommend lonian's Alterative to
anyone who Is suffering from Gland
