The Suffrage Movement
and Womanly Beauty
The newspapers happily have prov
en by printing photographs of many
suffrage leaders that they are up to
the minute, both as to clothes and as
to beauty and we contend modern
women are beautiful because they
have learned to care for themselves
and study beauty methods. Then, too,
we have found an astonishing thing—
namely, that they have discarded face
powder. The reason complexions suf
fer so much in summer is because
powder does not offer sufficient pro
tection against the hot sun. A plain
spurmax lotion not only safeguards
the skin from the elements, but in
itself is a beautitier of great worth.
To prepare this lotion at home, dis
solve 4 ounces spurmax from drug
dist's in pint hot water (or witch
hazel) and add 2 teaspoonfuls glycer
ine. This applied to the skin becomes
invisible and imparts a velvety soft
ness. and dainty tint to a rough, faded
skin, relieving that shiny, oily appear
ance, and its use will insure a lovely,
clear complexion.—Advertisement.
Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
SO SAVS KMI.\K.\T SPECIALIST
So-called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, wind, and stomach-ache
are in probably nine cases out of ten
simply evidence that fermentation is
taking place in the food contents of the
stomach, causing the formation of gas
and acids. Wind distends the stomach,
and causes that full, oppressive feeling
sometimes known as heartburn, while
the acid irritates and inflames the deli
cate lining of the stomach. The trouble
lies entirely in the fermenting food.
Such fermentation is unnatural, and
acid formation is not only unnatural,
but may involve most serious conse
quences if not corrected. To stop or
prevent fermentation of the food con
tents of the stomach and to neutralize
the acid, and render it bland and
harmless, a teaspoonful of bisurated
magnesia, probably the best and most
effective corrector of acid stomach
known, should be taken in a quarter of
a glass of hot or cold water immedi
ately after eating, or whenever wind
ftr acidity is felt. This stops the fer
mentation. and neutralizes tlie acidity
in a few moments. Fermentation, wind
and acidity are dangerous and unnec
essary. Stop or prevent them by the
use of a proper ant .old, such as bisur
ated magnesia, which can be obtained
from any druggist and thus enable the
stomach to do Its work properly with
out being htnlcred by poisonous hs
and dangerous acids. —M. F. P.—Ad

No Ships Detained
No ship of war or privateer of
a belligerent shall be detained in
any port, harbor, roadstead or wa

than 24 hours, by reason of the
successive departures from such

opposing belligerent. But if there
be several vessels of opposing bel

time when such coal may have
been last supplied to her within
the waters of the United States,
unless such ship of war or priva
teer shall, since last thus sup
plied. have entered a port of the
government to which she belongs.
And I do further declare and
proclaim that the statutes and the
treaties of the United States and
the law of nations alike require
that no person, within the terri

States shall take part, directly or
indirectly, in the said wars, but
shall remain at peace with all of

Destination of Kronprinze
Wilhelm Still a Mystery
By Associated Press
New York, Aug. 4. —The destination
of the steamer Kronprinze Wilhelm
of the North German IJoyd T-ine, which
le.t this port last night with a cargo
of coal and miscellaneous stores, was a
subject of speculation to-day.
The steamer, after clearing Sandy
Hook, had only her running light
bprning and was headed in a souther
ly direction instead of northeastward,
which is the usual course for steam
ships bound for Europe.
The soi- erly route taken, and the
fact that the steamer had about 2,000
tons more coal than she would need
to cross the Atlantic besides sea stores,
led to reports that she wa. going to
sea to transfer supplies and fuel to
the German cruisers Dresden, Straas
burg and Karlsruhe, which have been
reported as hovering in American wa
ters.

Thompson was nominated by Com

Bowman and Lynch.
Mayor Royal wanted ex-Police Ser

Hall Included in List
of Unacquired Land by
Mistake, Says Bowman
In a brief note to Francis Jordan
Hall, a member of the City Planning
Commission whose nam. had been
mistakenly included by City Commis
sioner il. K. Bowman, superintendent
of public safety, in the list of owners
of unacquired river park frontage.
Mr. Bowman explains the error. Fol
lowing is Mr. Bowman's letter:
Mr. Francis J. Hall,
Harrisburg. Pa.
Dear Sir:—l am very sorry that
the article got into the papers the
other day regarding the piece of
ground which you had given to
the city some years ago. I want
to assure >ou that this was an er
ror, possibly on my part, as to the
piece of ground in question. It is
the' "frontage of 6 1 feet directly
opposite Harris street' as given
me by the City Solicitor Mr. Seitz.
If you will notice this piece of
ground is the continuation of
Harris street and is either owned
by yourself, or the heirs of Emily
R. Porter and Ed war 1 Bailey, or
Elizabeth H. Reily. You will no-
tice that this ground is K0 feet
while the ground wbic'. you do-
nated to the city some years ago
is 521-3 fPPt on the north side of
Harris street.
Bowman Ordinance to
Condemn Park Frontage
Solution to "Filling"
By an ordinance introduced In Coun
cil tills afternoon by City Commissioner
Harry F. Bowinan. superintendent of
public safety. Front street, from South
street to a point sixty-five feet north
of Liberty, and from Harris to Maclay
street are authorized to be opened from
the eastern curb-line to low water
mark.
This procedure would follow that
adopted by the city In the lower end
of town from Iron alley to Paxton
street, settlement of a few cases of
damages now pending. The only other
stretches which the city will not have
condemned for street purposes, should
Bowman's measure be finally passed,
will be the section between Herr and
Calder, known as Hardscrabble, and the
frontage at the city pumping station
and the Fleming property, which has
been turned over to the Civic Club.
The city's share of the expense inci
dent to the opening of the street and
condemnation for damages would be
comparatively small, it is believed. In
cidentally this, Mr. Bowman believes,
will satisfactorily settle the contro
versy growing out of the dumping of
"fill" along Front street above Hard
scrabble. Mr. Bowman had stated that
he did not agree with Commissioner
Taylor's proposition to haul 20,000
yards of excavated earth to the north
of Hardscrabble when some of the
park frontage had not yet been given
over to the city for park purposes.

DR. HNS
OSTEOPATH PIPES
Well-Known Harrisburger on Pro
gram at International Con
vention at Philadelphia
PR. HARRY M. VASTINE
Philadelphia, Aug. 4.—Dr. Harry M.
Vastine, of 1 larrisburg. read a paper
Inst evening before the eighteenth an
nual convention of the American os
teopathic Association, in session here,
on the topic "Technique-Correction
Sacro-Iliac Lesions." Dr. Vastine Is
an authority on this subject, having
devoted must time to original research
along this and similar lines. He is
one of the leading ligures at the big
convention.
Announcement was made to-day at
the international osteopathic conven
tion that osteopathy has been discov
ered to be a cure for all acute Infec
tious diseases. Dr. John Deason, of
Chicago, director of the A. T. Still
Research Institute, the institution
which the osteopathic profession has
established for the purpose of investi
gating by laboratory methods into the
scientific basis of the theory of oste
opathy. reported that the laboratory
had just proved this fact. Dr. Deason
reported that in one series of forty
animals they found that when they
could improve the nutrition they could
overcome the progress of infection.
Dr. Whiting showed that osteopathic
treatment would increase the opsonic
ii'dex. Dr. Nicholson found that
osteopathic treatment tended to nor
malize the number and kinds of blood
cells. He showed that leucocytosis can
be permanently reduced by osteopathic
treatment and that the red blood cor
puscles can be materially increased In
no m ber.
As a result of these researches the
director claims that osteopathy has
within itself the essential principles
in the treatment in infections without
the use of drugs.
He claims that osteopathy is a com
plete system of practice and that it
gets back to nature by striking at the
real cause of the trouble. The prob
lem of the treatment of disease from
the ostopathic standpoint, therefore,
becomes one of discovering how to
correct the mechanism of disease
rather than how to dose it with ex
traneous chemicals.
American Warship Will
Be Used to Send Gold to
Countries in War Zone
Washington, I>. C„ AUK. 4. —Con-
gress is to bo asked immediately to ap
propriate $2,500,000 to relieve Ameri

President Wilson to-day approved
the detailed plans which were drawn
up last night at a conference between
Secretary Bryan, Secretary McAdoo,
Robert UansinK, solicitor of the State
Department, counsel for the American
Express Company, and Benjamin
Strong, a New York.banker.
Congress will be asked to empower
Secretary McAdoo to appoint fiscal
agents in Europe to supervise the ex
penditure of the $2,500,000 fund,
which will be In addition to the $250,-

A. C. Miller, of the Federal Reserve
Board, will work out the details of the
relief plan and to aid him trained men
in the War and Navy Departments,
who are specialists in transportation,
will be assigned to give their full co
operation.
In order to get gold to Europe, ar
rangements will be made to send a
United States vessel, with the consent
of Boreißn governments, under the
flaw of the United States, to the coun
tries involved in the war.
Select Cruiser
The State Department to-day cabled
diplomatic and consular officers abroad
to assemble all Americans in the coun
tries involved and have them ready to
embark for home.
Officials have been told it will be
possible to get enough steamers from
the coastwise service and plans are
being laid for chartering the neces
sary number.
The armored cruiser Tennessee or
North Carolina will be used for send
ing wold to Europe, it was announced
at the White House.
The nations Involved in the war will
be informed of the purpose for which
the gold Is being sent to Europe in
order that no complications may
follow.
Mr. Miller confereneed with Secre
tary Garrison to-day over the use of
the army transports. Mr. Garrison
explained there were twelve at Galves
ton which could be sent to European
ports. The vessels would afford ac
commodations for thousands of refu
gees.
President Wilson to-day signed the
bill passed yesterday appropriating
the first $250,000.

in floor space to permit a large stock
and the location is convenient to the
railroad stations and most of the car

London, Aug. 4.—Premier Asquith
to-day read a telegram from the Ger
man Foreign Minister, which the Ger
man Ambassador in London had sent
to Sir Edward Grey. It was as follows:
"Please dispel any distrust that may
subsist on the part of the British gov
ernment with regard to our intentions
by repeating most positively the formal
assurance that even In case of rallied
conflict with Belgium, Germany will
under no pretensions whatever annex
Belgian territory.".
The reading of this telegram was
greeted with derisive laughter by the
members of the House.

THE ATLANTIC REFINING COMPANY
FOREIGN WAR FLAME
HAS NO EFFECT OS
CiTY'S INDUSTRIES
Few Men Leaving Positions Fot
Battlefields of Europe Accord
ing to Plant Managers
While contractors and heads of th«
big manufacturing establishments em
ploying foreign labor in this vicinity
refuse to comment on possibilities,
they declare that up to date the
spreading of the war flame through
out Europe has not yet affected the
hosts of workmen from foreign climes.
On the city improvement jobs, at the
Pennsylvania Steel Company, the Har
risburg Foundry and Machine Works,
the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bend
ing Works, the Central Iron and Steel
Works, In fact practically all of the
big plants, there are scores of Aus
trians, Servians, Germans and even
some French and Hussions employed.
Many of them too, are not naturalized.
It is this contingent that will lie liable
for military duty should the tlnal call
for the reservists to "colors" be sent
from the capitals of Europe.
Just what will happen should the
war ministers of the dual, the Rus
sian and the German empires and the
Balkan States begin to corral their
sons for service beneath their flags—
may be a problem for early solution,
the employing agencies and plant and
eontract'ng heads admit.
No Order Cancellation
Managers of all the local Industrial
plants said they have received no can
cellations of foreign orders, due to the
was, as yet.
In discussing the labor situation J.
V. W. Reynders, vice-president of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company, yester
day pointed out that thus far only fivt
men out of the 6,000 employed at tlv
steel works have left the company's
employ with the announced purpose
of joining the military forces in
Europe. Several of these' were spe
cial eases, said Mr. Reynders, sueh at
engineers who hold officers' commis
sions in the European armies.
Mr. Reynders deplored the attitude
of some newspapers which would havt
the public believe that foreigners ar<
madly rushing home to take part in
the European conflict. He said:
"There is an evident moral respon
sibility in the creation of a sentiment
which up to this time does not exist."
