CHILD GETS IICK
CROSS, FEVERISH
IF CONSTIPATED
Look at tongue! Then give fruit
laxative for stomach,
liver, bowels.
"California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm children and they
love it.
A laxative to-day saves a sick child
to-morrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty thetr
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
iour. *
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or your child Is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's ali
ment. give a teaspoonful of "California
Syrup of Figs," then don't worry, be
cause It is perfectly harmless, and in
a few hodrs all this constipation poi
son, sour bile and fermenting waste
will gently move out of the bowels, and
you have a well, playful child again.
A thorough "inside cleansing" is oft
times ail that is necessary. It should
be the first treatment given in any
sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of
"California Syrup of figs," which has
full directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Look carefully
and see that It is made by the "Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company."—Adver

AFTER MEN WHO BUY
LIQUOR FOR DRUNKS
[Continued From First Page.]
keepers will not soil them any liquor
once they are on the "jag list." "The
saloonkeeper isn't to blame," said
Chief Zeil to-day, "It's the man who
is working an underhanded game,
getting the money from the drunks,
then buying the booze and turning it
over to the men who can't get It be
cause they are on the "jag list."
The drunks, the police chief says,
for many weeks have been "slipping
one across.'" Panhandling to get
enough money to buy a quart of whis
ky, they give the money to some man
not under the ban, and after he buys
the liquor give him a drink and keep
what is left of the quart. The man
who buys the booze for the drunks is
the man the police are going after
now.
"We're going to make it. warm for
a few of them soon and when we- get
them we'll have them on a charge of
furnishing liquor to habitual drinkers
and doing it without license," the ex
ecutive said to-day.
A determined course is being map
per out, it is said, to keep the regu
lars from getting drink in this manner.
The chief of police In talking of his
plan said that he Is positive that the
men at the bars in the city know prac
tically every man on the "jag list"
furnished by the police. According
to htm, some of these men are still be
ing brought In drunk, who are on the
list. "None of them have enough
money to buy a quart of cheap whlskv
even, but by panhandling they soon
collect fifty cents and then have their j
party," Chief Zell said.
GIRL DRINKS POISON"
Genevieve McNamara, aged 18, Mar
ket and Fifth streets, after an alleged
quarrel with a friend last night drank
bichloride of mercury, according to
the Harriaburg Hospital physicians, in
an attempt to end her life. The girl
to-day has a fighting chance, accord
ing to the doctors, who still have hopes
of saving her life.
MANY GASES OF
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat.
Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex
posure, keep feet dry. eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric aoid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated In the bowels and absorbed Into
the blood. It Is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumulat
ing and circulating through the sys
tem, eventually settling In the joints
«nd muscles causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
ful In «. glass of water and drink be
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This Is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidnevs to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these impuTitles.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with llthia
nnd is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant. effervescent lithla-water drink
which overcomes uric acid and Is bene
ficial to your kidneys as well.—Adver

Storm Blinds .Middle West
By Associated Press
\ Chicago, Jan. 2. Snow, rain and
sleet over a large area of the Middle
West, centering over Southeastern)
lowa, northern Missouri and Illinois;
but extending in all directions caused |
much delay in train service to-day
and hampered telegraph and tele- J
phone companies.
Further west the conditions were i
aggravated by Intense cold. Ontaha |
reported eight degrees below zero.
Many of the telegraph and telephone
lines to the west were down and
throughout Illinois, lowa and Missouri
much trouble was reported by line
men. Denver was reached by a
circuitous route.
Trains reached Chicago from the
weßt from an hour to two hours late.
In the city snow and sleet hampered
the surface and elevated lines.
Forecast of decidedly colder weath
er was made by the weather .bureau
the prediction being that the Arkansas
storm would spread northeastward
and be followed by cold and north
west gales bringing temperatures of
from 30 to 40 degrees below zero over
most of the Northwestern States.
' The northwestern cold wave was
said by the Weather Bureau to be
the most severe in recent years with
the mercury standing at 30 to 48
degrees below zero over most of the
Dakotas and in the northern Rocky
mountain regions.
Temperature 5 to 10 degrees below
zero was predicted for the Chicago
district to-night.
Easterward of the Mississippi
temperatures were abnormally high,
ranging from fifteen to 33 degrees
above the seasonable average, but
these districts are expected to feel the
effect of the storm later in the week.
Snow and rain are predicted for to
night and Thursday as the storm
moves northeastward and a severe
cold wave, the Weather Bureau says,
may be expected through the upper
lake region, the lower Ohio Valley
and the l.ower Mississippi Valley to
night and Thursday ana in the east
Gulf States Thursday and Thursday
night. By Thursday night and Fri
day It Is probable the <?old wave will
extend to the Atlantic coast.

BROTHERHOODS TO
VOTE ON DEMANDS
Will Ask For Eight-Hour Day;
Ballots Must Be in by
March 1
Members of transportation brother
hoods east of Pittsburgh and Erie will
resume balloting on their demand for
an eight-hour day. Some time ago
votes were taken on the question of a
new wage scale and an eight-hour day.
Subsequently It was decided to vote
separately on each question.
Notices that the balloting would be
resumed were yesterday sent to the
employes of the Pennsylvania Rail
road and Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Companies and voles will be
taken at the meetings next Sunday
and one one week later.
The ballots are to be returned by
March 1. T : pon h two-thirds vote In
favor of the establishment of the eight
hour schedule on each particular road
demands will be made upon the rail
road companies for compliance, on
threat of the calling of a general
strike. The present working schedule
for freight trainmen on the Pennsyl
vania and Reading roads Is a ten-hour
day, with full pay for overtime. The
reason given by trainmen for the re
duction asked is that it will enhance

Improve the service accorded to ship
pers. in that it will speed up freight
runs generally.
There have been more than 16,000
ballots distributed among the mem
bers of the various beneficial orders of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. Of this
number more than 10,000 have been
sent to freight trainmen on the lines
east, of Pittsburgh. While the present
fight will concern directly only freight
I trainmen, composing approximately
i 5,000 on the lines east, ballots have
j been sent to engineers, firemen and
(conductors, as they Indirectly will be
j affected through any subsequent move-
I ment.

Water Dept. Spends
$300,000 on Various
City Improvements
City Commissioner Gorgas lias open
ed an interesting question In his propo
sition to utilize the Increasing surplus
of the city Water Department for a re
! duction of taxation. He shows that
i during the last five or six years there
! has been expended out of the funds
j of the Water Department for extraordi
! nary uses more than $300,000 —for the
(purchase of the private water rights In
j the Thirteenth Ward,-the construction
| of the high-pressure reservoir, the lay
i ing of important mains in Front and
j Market streets, the building of the
plaza wall at the pumping station, and
I other necessary improvements.
I It appears from the statements of Mr.
Gorgas that the actual profits of the
Water Department are about $60,000 a
year, and he takes the position that
some way should be found by which
this surplus of public moneys'shall be
diverted to general uses so that the
taxes of the people may be correspond
ingly reduced.
It has always been held that the
rtvenues of the Water Department can
be used only for the purposes of the
department, but the Superintendent of
Finance and Accounts believes neces
sary legislation could be enacted so
that the large profits of the department
might be made available for the gen
eral expenses of the city.

ORDERS TO KEEP
INDUSTRIES BUSY
Enough Scheduled to Maintain
Present Speed of Mills
I'ntil Summer
With practically every industrial
plant in the city running full time]
and rushed with orders to be filled
during: the next few months, no able
bodied man in Harrisburg who wants
to work, need be without a job, say
officials of the various industries.
The steady Increase in demand for
workmen, both skilled and unskilled,
in the shops and mills of the plants
has furnished hundreds of idle men I
with jobs during: the last plx months.)
The prosperity existing at present,
due to the many orders being tilled
here, will last until far into the sum
mer It was said to-day, and then more
orders to be filled again in the win
ter are expected, giving an Indication
that the plants will be Kept going
with little let-up throughout the re
mainder of the year.
Improvements In some of the larger
plants are being rushed so that the
Increase of orders can be handled
properly and turned out In contract
time should the European war end
suddenly, with a few exceptions ac
cording to a number of officials, the
result would not influence the flour
ishing Industries here to a great ex
tent. Increasing orders for large
firms In this country, are keeping
many of the mills working full time,
it was said.
Even the knit goods mills in the
city, according to the managers, are
working hard to get out big orders,
and despite the dye, shortages, are
still running the plants on full time.
The removal of the machinery from
the old plant of the W. O. Hiekok
manufacturing company to the new
buildings is almost completed, and
although slightly hindering rapid
work on orders, the plants are being
adjusted and will soon be in complete
working order. Several big improve
ments and additions have been made
at the new plant for the handling of
a wider line of machinery to be manu
factured.

ORDINANCE GIVES
VALUABLE RIGHTS
Many Citizens Wish to Know
Just What Borough Will
Receive in Return
The increased number of trauks to
be crossed at grade In Franklin, Cones
toga and Trewlck streets, should Steel
ton's council pass finally the ordinance
now before that body granting the
Pennsylvania Railroad the right to |
construct lis proposed freight spur to I
the steel works, has been the subject '
of considerable discussion In municipal!
circles in the past few days.
A* the ordinance now stands, the
railroad Is permitted to cross Franklin
and t'oneatoga streets with three'
tracks and Trewlck street with one I
Irack, all at grade. ■
As there are now five tracks of the,
Heading Railroad crossing Trewlck
street at grade and one of the Penn
sylvania's, the additional track which
it is purposed to lay will mean that
there will be seven tracks to be crossed
at grade in this street.
In both Franklin and Conestoga
streets conditions will be the same, it
is pointed out, because the Heading
now has four tracks crossing thesr>
thoroughfaros. and the three tracks
called for in the measure now before
council will increase the number to
seven.
All these seven tracks, it has been
pointed out. must be crossed by high
school children and all other residents
of the Weal Side in coming to and
from their studies or to the central
pari of the town.
The granting by council of this valu
able right, prominent men of the bor
ough declare, should be compensated
by the railroad In some manner. As
the ordinance now stands—and it has
been passed by council on first and
second readings—the railroad gives
the borough absolutely nothing.
In municipal circles, however, it is
understood that the railroad is willing
to construct a sewer to relieve the
old canal nuisance. Nothing Is men
tioned in the ordinance, though, about
this sewer, and it. Is the consensus of
opinion of leading citizens that before
council passes the measure finally it
should be amended to show just what
the borough is to receive for the valu
able rights given the railroad com
pany. Many are awaiting with in
terest (he next meeting of council,
scheduled for February 7.

i Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an Inalda bath.
To look.one's, best and ;i feel one's
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous day's waste, sour fermenta
tions-jind poisonous toxins before It is
absorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a certain
amount of Incombustible material in
the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which arc then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising a glass of hot water with a
teaapoonfui of limestone phosphate in
it, which is a harmless means of wash
ing the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples, or pallid com
plexions, also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothergd with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos
phated hot water drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results In
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos
phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshena the
skin on the outside, so hot water and.
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more im
portant than outside cleanliness, be
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while tha
bowel pores do.—Advertisement.
