Mew Law Causes Interwoven Mills
Company to Abandon Build
ing Project
SITE HAD BEEN PURCHASED
JGuarantee Fund of $25,000 Is
Raised by Businessmen
of Town
Carlisle, Pa., Aug. 26. Following
fiegotiations extending over about iif
een months, it was announced to-day
(Ihat the Interwoven Mills Company,
One., makers of the Interwoven ho
siery, has definitely abandoned all
(thought of building a $ 100,000 branch
(plant hero. This decision is, in the
topinion of men intimately connected
Kvlth the proposition to have the plant
located here, directly ascribablo to the
/new Democratic tariff.
On Saturday H. H. Emmet, treas-
Sirer, and George Mulhlss, superin
endent of the company, were here,
end in conference with members of
fthe Carlisle Industrial League, an or
ganization of merchants formed to
' 'eecure additional industries for the
* rtown. To-day the announcement was
niade that the plant will not be es
tablished here or at any other point
lat present.
Members of the league and other
(citizens of the town who have con
tributed funds to secure a site will be
6-eimbursed by the Interwoven Corn
many, but the industry which would
feventually employ over 500 persons is
(lost.
■ The headquarters of the company,
j lare in Martinsburg, W. Va. Over a year
i j«go, before the effects of the new
tariff were manifested, an increase in
! business brought on the decision to
Juild a new branch plant. Carlisle,
together with other valley towns,
£t.mong which was Lemoyne, made
proposals for the location of the plant
In the various communities. The In
dustrial League was formed at this
time and a guarantee fund of $25,000
•was raised to bring sufficient opera
tives for the proposed plant to the
town. Some little trouble was expe
rienced relative to a site, but after
the Bell and Cumberland Valley trunk
lines had been moved after some dis
cussion and at considerable expense,
the site was accepted by the president
of the company and purchased by the
league.
That the company did intend to lo
cate here was evinced from the fact
that in a recent issue of the trade
journal. Steam, proposals for the erec
tion of a daylight plant here were
nsked. It was said by the officials
that one reason for not building was
the inability to secure help. This
ptatement men in touch with the sit
uation, who conducted a canvass for
this express purpose, as well as sev
eral prominent manufacturers, deny.
The Interwoven officials say they do
Pot contemplate erecting a branch at
any other place. This leads the local
league members hero to believe that
the tariff law has interfered with the
plans for the erecting of a branch. A
small "training" plant run by the
company here, employing about .100
persons, will also be put out of opera
tion.
War Food
Already the great European war is making itself felt right here at home.
With production at a standstill abroad and
Europe Calling For Food
prices of edibles here in America are going up by leaps and bounds.
The war has just begun
What will the end be?
There's one food that will not advance in price—a food Europe is now
calling for—
Grape-Nuts
Made from wheat and barley, Grape-Nuts has for 20 years proved self a
dependable food for body and brain. It contains all the rich nutriment of the
grain, including the invaluable mineral phosphates lacking in white bread, but
necessary for sturdy health—
A Food For War and Peace
Grape-Nuts is every family's friend—delicious to taste, easily digested,
richly nourishing .economical. Packed in sealed cartons —dust nivl germ
proof—this food is always crisp and appetizing—and
Price Same As Always—Everywhere
With Grape-Nuts food, you can laugh at high prices and live well—

Do You Need Building Up?
There tare conditions of ill health in
which no one particular organ appears
tc be at fault, yet the patien is miser
able and unable to pursue the activi
ties of daily life with vigor and enjoy
ment. Sometimes tho cause is attribu
ted to the imagination but the patient
knows that the debility is real.
The remedy evidently Is a medicine
that will berefit the whole system
rather than a part. Tho blood reaches
everywhere and an imp- -vemcnt in its
ruality is quickly followed by an im
provement in the whole organism. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills make a visible
improvement in the condition of the
blood. The microscope will verify this
improvement but the patient can see
it in the mirror as shown by increased
color in .cheeks and lips and added
brightness of the eyes. There will also
be a new elasticity in the step. These
things record an improved tone in the
body and if this tonic treatment is
persisted in for a reasonable length
of time, depending upon the degree of
debility, the condition of ill health will
be removed.
Those who are interested i. ay obtain
the pamphlet "Building Up the Blood"
free on request from the Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. All
druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink r::i«.

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
SO SAYS EMINENT 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 fueling
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 blsurated
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 arter eating, or whenever wind
or acidity is felt. This stops the fer
mentation, and neutralizes the acidity
in a few moments. Fermentation, wind
and acidity are dangerous and unnec
essary. Stop or prevent them by the
use of a proper an; 'ld, such as blsur
ated magnesia, which can be obtained
Irom any drvgglst and thus enable the
stomach to do its work properly with
out being hindered by poison us -as
and dangerous acids.—M. F. P.—Ad
