Eat less meat also take glass of
Salts before eating

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon
ful In a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys
will then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juce, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normal activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine, so it no longer is a
source of Irritation, thus ending blad
der weakness.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive, cannot In

llthla-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid

MORE TUN FOR
BECKER M DRAWN
Defendant Fonnd in Plot to Dis
credit Prison Adminis
tration
By Associated Press
New York, May B.—The third sec
tion of 100 of the 300 talesmen drawn
for the second trial of Charles Beck
er, former police lieutenant charged
with having instigated the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, reported in Court
to-day when the third day's session
began. Meanwhile another panel of
100 names was being drawn at the or
der of Justice Seabury. This will
make a total of 400 talesmen, fifty
more than were drawn for the first
Becker trial.
From the remaining 200 talesmen
It was expected that the six vacant
seats in the Jury box would be filled
and that District Attorney Charles S.
Whitman would make his opening ad
dress on Monday at the latest and pos
sibly to-morrow.
While the work of obtaining a Jury
drags slowly on, the possibility of sen
sational testimony is rumored. Pro
cess servers lor the defense yesterday
subpenaed Warden Clancy and the
Rev. William Cashin, the Catholic
chaplain at Sing Sing prison. This
action gave rise to the supposition
that Warden Clancy and Father Cash
in have been summoned to tell of the
eleventh hour confession of "Dago"
Frank" Ciroficl in which the condemn
ed gunman was credited with having
declared that "Becker had nothing to
do with the murder of Rosenthal."
In view of the order of the com
missioner of correction's denying
Becker the privilege of consulting with
counsel District Attorney Whitman
has arranged for a room in the Crim
inal Courts building where the accus
sed, his wife and counsel may meet
during recesses and after adjourn
ment. The action on the part of the
commissioner of corrections followed
the receipt of a petition complaining
of condition in the Tombs which was
characttrized as a plot to discredit
the prison administration. Becker,
according to the alleged concession of
a fellow prisoner, -was leader of the
movement.

In Mind and Body the
Change is Wonderful.
After the depression, the stagnation, the
despair over some blood disorder, It Is fine
to wake up to what 8. S. 8. has accom
plished for you after a few days' use. It
puts the nerves and blood in harmony; It
arouses the cellular activity of the liver,
kidneys, lungs, and other excretory organs
to remove from the blood the body wastes
that cause nearly all sickness.
This means that all decay, all breaking
down of the tissues, is checked and repair
work begins. S. S. S. has such Influence on
all local ceils as to preserve their mutual
welfare and afford a proper relative assist
ance to each other. More attention is being
given to catalytic medicine than ever before
and & S. S. Is one of the highest achieve
ments in this line. For many years people
relied upon mercury, iodide of potash, ar
senic cathartics and "dope" as remedies for
blood sickness, but now the pure, vegetable
8. S. S. Is their safeguard.
You can get 8. S. S. in any drug store,
but insist upon having It. The great Swift
Laboratory in Atlanta, Ga., prepares this
famous blood purifier, and you should take
no chance by permitting anyone to recom
mend a substitute. And If your blood con

that 5,000 men have been loyal to
their cause and are out on strike for
recognition. Reports that the var
ious departments are working are ex
aggerated. At Enola the work is tied
up completely and at Trenton, Wilkes-
Barre and other points the men out
have been the mainstay of the Penn
sylvania railroad, and their absence is
being felt. We are in this fight for
humanity and for the cause of the
men who toil. The fight has Just been
started. There has been no disap
pointment among our members on the
response to .the callout yesterday. A
conference this afternoon between
federated representatives and men
from other brotherhoods will bring
recognition that must not be over
looked. We are much encouraged
over the prospects."
Strikers Parade From
Enola to Marysville
Strikers from West Fairview and
Enola to the number of several hun
dred marched from Enola to Marys
ville this morning. A number of the
strikers carried flags. Stops were made
enroute to allow picket men to make
requests to men still at work to join
with them. There was no disorder,
Following the parade at Marysville
this afternoon it was announced that
the men would march to H&rrisburg
if the weather permits.
When told that the men were
marching at Enola and Marysville,
President W. H. Pierce stated that the
men were acting according to their
own convictions. He said that while
he did not advocate any street demon
strations, the men were working for
their own interests and would create
no disturbances.
Paraded Here. Too
The only demonstration in Harris
burg occurred this morning at 10
o'clock when 100 men formed at Sixth
and Calder streets, marched up Sixth
to' Reily, down Reily to Seventh, and
up Seventh to Maclay street. These
men were sent out as pickets, It was
announced and not to parade. Five
of the men carried United States flags,
and took their places outside of the
entrances of the Pennsylvania Rail
road property.
From three to seven pickets were
on duty at each point. Others dis
tributed circulars and tacked them
up on fences and telegraph poles. The
circular gives to the public the side
of the men and their reasons for
striking. Under the heading, "Notice
to the Public," the circular which is
dated May 7, is as follows:
Reason* For Strike
"The Brotherhood of Federated
Railway Employes has requested
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to put into effect seniority on
the railroad. The reason we asked
for seniority rights was because
the. company suspended and dis
charged men by the hundreds who
have been In their service for
periods ranging from Ave to thirty
years, and yet have deliberately
discharged these men and kept
other men in their employ that had
only been employed a few months
or more, thus giving them the pref
erence over the men who have loy
ally given the company many,
many years of faithful service.
"A committee waited on the rail
road officials and were told that
nothing could be done for them, as
the orders came from authority
higher up. We then appealed to
the United States Government and
State officials to assist us, and they
Interceded in our behalf with com
pany officials, but were unable to
meet the general manager, as we
had requested.
"Every man working for the
railroad knows that the company
Is trying to foster upon their em
ployes an organization known as
the Mutual Beneficial Association of
Pennsylvania Railroad Employes,
and the direct purpose of that or
ganization is to eliminate, get rid
of all labor organizations on the
system. Never before has a cor
poration attempted to disregard the
welfare of their employes to such
an extent. What is capital trying
to do? Has labor no rights? Are
we going to sit idly by and see the
company beat the shopmen into
submission, and are they going to
compel them to Join their 'mutual*
and then use them against the
transportation Brotherhoods?
"No! No!. The time is here for '
every man who believes in personal
liberties to assist In the uplift of
humanity. They have shown bv
their very acts they never Intended
doing as they have agreed with
their employes. And now we are
S. 0 ' 11^.40 stand together, one for
all and all for one.
"Let peace, harmony, friendship,
fraternity, unity of action prevail,
and we will win. We are asking
each man to be peaceable, we are
asking the public to investigate
for themselves whether our conten
tions are unjust before passing
Judgment one way or the other. One
question we will ask you: Is it Just
for a company to sap life's vitality
from man, and then discharge him
capital? Krat ' fy the gTeei ° f

Mayor Takes Turn at
Standing on Guard
Ht yor J .? hn R °s' al took a hand
in the railroad strike to-day. The
Ma /°r was on guard duty at Seventh
and Reily streets for an hour. Wild
rumors reached the police headquar
ters this morning that men were run
ning about the shops flourishing re
volvers and threatening to shoot the
men who took their places. It was
also reported that there would be
trouble when the men quit work aw
noon.
It was 11.30 o'clock when Mayor
Royal took his place at the Reily street
entrance to the Pennsylvania railroad
yards and shops. Colonel Joseph B
Hutchison, chief of police, performed
similar duty at Seventh and Maclay
streets, while Captain of Police Joseph
P. Thompson was stationed at Seventh
and Verbeke streets. Other officers
who were assigned to special duty
near the railroad entrances and prop
erty were a motorcycle officer named
Fetrow and Patrolmen Nalen, Scott 1
McCann and Shaffner.
Nothing occurred, however, and!
Mayor Royal and his officers left their i
posts. Few men left the shops at
noon. Requests were made to the men
at work yesterday by the railroad offi
cials to hrlng their dinners with thorn
to-day. This request was carried out
with very few exceptions. All told
the number of men who left the shops
and yards at noon was estimated at
fifty.
Pickets On the Job
This fact did not stop the pickets.
They were on the Job. When oppor
tunity was offered the men went to the
shop windows and gates and passed In
circulars.
All pickets reported to W. H. Pierce
at headquarters at 2 o'clock. Only
one picket had been able to get In
conversation with any workmen He
was given a promiso by two car In
spectors that they would in all proba
bility join hands with the strikers
when they auit work this evening. A«
the shops close down at 4 p. m „ the
pickets went on duty again at that
time.

number of men who had gone out on
a strike.
These figures include men employed
as trackmen at Middletown and Mari
etta and at Steelton. In addition to
the 126 experienced car repairmen
from Altoona who went to work in
Harrisburg to-day men from Colum
bia, Lancaster and other points were
sent to Enola. There was no inter
ference when they reported for duty.
The men sent to work went quietly to
their duties. Lunch cars were fitted
up and at noon they were fed by the
company. Sleeping arrangements and
boarding will.be arranged for later.
In Harrisburg, at Enola and Marys
ville the Pennsylvania Railroad has
200 extra policemen on duty. Their
instructions are to permit no group of
strikers on the company's property.
Every person passing through the
gates is scrutinized closely and a per
son who is not very well known is
followed until it is certain he is no
striker.
General Superintendent George W.
Crelghton, of the eastern division,
whose headquarters are at Altoona,
was in Harrisburg yesterday on busi
ness. When asked to make a state
ment regarding the strike Mr. Creigh
ton called attention to the information
that came from his office earlier in the
day regarding no strike at Altoona and
said:
"There will be no delay in taking
care of all business. Men have been
secured to take the places of the men
out. The various divisions are being
looked after in a satisfactory manner
and there is really nothing unusual to
talk about."
As to Seeing McCaleb
A report that was widely circulated
gave the information that President
W. H. Pierce had arranged for a con
ference with W. B. McCaleb, superin
tendent of the Philadelphia division.
Mr. Pierce was quite angry that such
a report was out and replied:
"We are done with the railroad
company and Mr. McCaleb. If he
wants to see me he will have to come
here. I assure you that I nor any
other representative of this body will
go to see Mr. McCaleb; and there will
be someone come to see us before
long."
Mayor John K. Royal was very
much perturbed over the frequent
calls to the police department, giving
the information that crowds were
gathering in Sixth street and at other
points and trouble was brewing. The
Mayor said:
"There is no disorder and I do not
think there will be any. The men as
I found them to-day were very or
derly. If any disturbance Is started,
it will be looked after promptly."

HOY BOYS THE FIRST
"TELEPHONE GIRLS"
Shirley Watts Tells Interesting
Story of City Exchange
That's Gone
SMR, wff
SHIRLEY B. WATTS
Tales of the days of yore when the
first telephone exchange was estab
lished In Harrisburg were the high
lights In a lecture given last night by
Shirley B. Watts, local manager of the
Bell Telephone Company. Mr. Watt'j
lecture was on "The Growth of a
Great Modern Utility" and several
hundred persons heard it in the audi
torium of the Technical high school.
During the evening pictures were
thrown on a screen showing Francis
H. Hoy, Jr., and Robert Hoy, both
well known in this city, whom Mr,
Watts introduced as the first "tele
phone gtrli" who ever took calls at the
Harrisburg exchange board. In those
old days, boys in knickerbockers were
employed as opgfrators, said Mr. Watts,
but they were supplanted by girls be
cause "the boys were the worst trouble
that ever happened. They yelled at
the top of their voices; squabbled with
the public and with each other; whit
tled the switch board and played
tricks with the wires; and advised folk
who grew tired waiting to 'keep your
shirt on.' They were impossible and
by universal consent they were abol
ished."
Shows Development Here
Mr. Watts showed a picture of a
Harrisburg directory of 1896. He said
there were 409 subscribers at that
time. He then pointed out the develop
ment in this city by describing the
present directory with its nine thou
sand names in 6 poii.t type. Views of
the rest rooms, • luncheon hall and
lockers kept up by the company at the
Harrisburg exchange for the benefit
of the operators were shown. The lec
turer stated that the consumption of
food in the lunch room In one year
totaled 364 pounds of coffee, 52 quarts
of milk and 78 of cream. Another
picture shown was of an operator who
handled 407 calls in one hour or an
average of 6% a minute.
An interesting and graphic account
of the invention of the telephone by
Alexander Graham Bell In 1876 was
given by Mr. Watts. He stated that
