WHAT CAUSES COLDS? This question is asked every day. A cold is really a fever, not always caused by the weather but often due to disordered blood or lack of important food-elements. In changing seasons fat-foods are essential because they distribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the system better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the important reason why Scott's Emulsion should always be taken for colds, and it does more— builds strength to prevent sickness. Scott's Emulsion contains Nature's rare strength-building fats, so skillfully blended that the blood profits from every drop. It is free from harmful drags or alcohcl. Sold at drug stores CHILD'S TONGUE BECOMES COATED IF CONSTIPATED If cross, bilious, sick, feverish, or full of cold, take no chances. "California Syrup of Figs" can't harm tender stomach, liver, bowels. Children love this "fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely. A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stom ach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat! stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and In a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have a well, playful child again. Millions of mothers give "California Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and It never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot tle of "California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Beware of coun terfeits sold here. Get the genuine, made by "California Fig Syrup Com pany." Refuse any other kind with contempt.—Advertisement.

Iu the opinion of ninny medlcnl au thorities, tuberculosis IN aided, If not actually caused, by n loss ot lime from the system. "Where there Is a decnlcl flrution, the lime salts must be supplied medicinally." says nr. J. \V. Carhart, of San Antonio, In the May, 1013, Issue of ••Medical Progress." To supply these salts often Is diffi cult. since in some forms they ere not easily assimilable. In Eclcman's Alterative, however, calcium (lime) is so combined with other valuable ingredients as to be assimilated by the average person and to this. In part, is due its success. We make no boastful claims, but many cases of tuberculosis apparently have yielded to it. It contains no opiates, narcotics or habit-forming drugs, so Is safe to try. From your druggist or direct.

One Cent Payment. The small est payment of State tax made in many months was received . at the State Treasury to-day. It amounted to one cent and was a balance due on some bank stock tax by a savings bank. The procedure In the case of this one cent was the same as though a million dollars had been paid. The State frequently receives tax as low as ten cents or twenty-live, but this is the first one cent payment in a long time. After "Bleachers" Orders have been issued by the State Department of Agriculture for the prosecution of any persons or firms engaging in the process of "bleaching" flour or sell ing flour so treated in this State. Agents have been Instructed to make investigations of reports that plants are engaged in "bleaching" flour. Bounties Fall Oft. Payment of bounties for scalps of noxious animals or birds approved for February amounted to .$2,000 less than in January when $12,000 was approved. This is attributed to the killing of many fur-bearing animals and to the weather conditions prevailing during February which made hunting diffi cult. Fewer attempts at fraud have been noted, say officials of the State Game Commission, since prosecutions were brought. The State's Rank. A bulletin is sued by the State Department of Agriculture shows relative rank of Pennsylvania in various crops. The Keystone State stands sixth in pro duction of hay, ninth for wheat, fourteenth for oats, twentieth for corn and sixth 'for potatoes.

RAILROAD WORK ON SIGNALS. MOVING SLOWLY Rain and Snow Stops Yard and Road Improve ments Improvements along the Phila delphia division and at the llarris burg and Enola yards have been baited for a time because of un favorable weather. Work on the new tower at eastbound hump at Enola, and on the placing: of the air pipes, operating the signals and switches, is moving slowJy. Along the new tracks at Luc know pipes and wires are being put down, but very little progress Is being' made because of snow and rain. It is understood that new pipes will be put down throughout the Gnola yards, making one of the most com plete automatic and electric signal systems on the main line of the Penn sylvania Railroad. When these pipes are all down, the pressing of an elec tric button will release the levers In the towers and set the signals and switches. Plans for the Improvements be tween Ellzabethtown and Lancaster and from Paoli and Coatesvilie are being worked out slowly. With a long stretch of favorable weather It will be possible to put down the wires and pipes. CAR SHORTAGE IS RAILROAD REPORT First Since November; Canada Is Also Badly in Need of x Equipment For the first time since November 1, 1913, the American Railway Associa tion reports a net shortage of freight cars on the lines in the United States and Canada. The net shortage on March 1 was 20,551 as compared with surplus of idle cars of 21,485 on Feb ruary 1, 1916. The net shortage of 20,551 on March 1 last compare with a net surplus of 321,747 cars on March 1, 1915, which clearly shows the great change in traf fic conditions as compared with a year ago. On March 1 there was a net short age of 29,273 of boxcars as compared with a net shortage of 9,416 on Febru ary 1, and there was also a net short age of 5,831 coal cars on March 1, as compared with a net surplus of 595, on February 1. Trouble ill West The principal boxcar trouble is west of Chicago and particularly in the northwest. West of Chicago the box car shortage increased 7,000 cars dur ing March. It is because of this grow ing scarcity of boxcars in the west where they are needed to handle the grain that the American Railway As sociation recently adopted a rule that eastern carriers must return to west ern lines 20 per cent, more cars than they receive from the western roads. Canada is also short of boxcars. One of the principal causes of the freight car shortage is the congestion at Atlantic seaport terminals where thousands of cars are held up and have been help up for weeks because of the inability of consignee to unload and release them. Discipline Bulletins Tell of Many Rule Infractions Discipline bulletins posted at DE office and signed by N. W. Smith, superintendent of the Middle Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad gives some Interesting information. There were 52 employes censured for infrac tions of rules.

MANY NEW HOMES FOR WEST SHORE [Continued From First Page.] eration with Mr. Harro, so that when the buildings are finished each man will own one of the houses for the ma terial ho has put into the eight build ings. It Is understood that another operation along the same lines will be started In the near future in another section of the West Shote and included in this will be about Sixteen houses. The Cooper tract, in Camp Hill, be ing developed by Baer & Rice, who cdnduet the West Shore Realty Com pany, will bo the scene of building operations also during the year, and more homes will be built on the Dale tract, adjoining the bopough. On the Cooper tract homes are being built or will be built by W. E. Buahey, J. W. Reichley, of Paxtang, George J A Brick or and Dr. C. M. Faj?er. On the Dale tract. Dr. M. E. TT. Skelton is building two homes on Long street. Apartments and Office In Leinoyne, along the Carlisle pike, G. W. Enck is finishing a three-story building, the lirst floor of which will be used as a printing office. The upper floors will be used for apart ments. On Hummel avenue, I<emoyne, H. L. Miller is finishing a handsome iwo-story residence. Raymond Saw yer is planning the ereution of a big double house and Frank Ltchtenberger is getting ready to build a homo on Herman avenue. George Wagner has secured a plot of ground just south of the Philadelphia and Reading tracks and will build a residence there. George W. Palmer is making some big improvements to his property on Rossmoyne street. The two-story frame building la being raised and a deep cellar is being built beneath. The building will be enlarged and will con tain apartments, storerooms and a poolroom. The basement will be fitted up as a bowling alley. A prlntery will I also take up a part of the building. The structure when completed will be about 105 feet long. A. C. Fickes will i conduct the bowling alley and pool j room in the building. West Shore Bakery The other big operation in Lemoyne Is the building which will house the West Shore Bakery, conducted by L,. M. Bricker. The structure is a mam moth brick affair and is equipped with the most modern machinery and ovens used in bread, cake and pie baking. The building is two stories in height nnd on each story tho floor space will be about 187 feet by 160 feet. The plant is one of the largest in Central Pennsylvania and will employ about sixty people. The bakery has a ca pacity of 50,000 loaves of bread daily. Mr. Bricker expects to be in the new building within the next month or six weeks. Another big building along the West Shore nearing completion is the town hall and firehouse in Wormleysburg. The building is already under roof and men are engaged in finishing the in terior. It is expected that, the struc ture will be completed within a month and plans are already under way for the dedicatory exercises. Wormleysburg will also have a num ber of new homes erected during the summer. The dwellings will be built In the northern end of the town and the majority of them will be con structed on Front street. In addition to the new homes it is understood that improvements are to be made to a number of others, the improvements to consist of porches and outkitchens, mostly. In Camp Hill borough C. A. Hemp, a councilman, will erect a stucco bungalow on a tract of land which he owns along Chestnut street. Ignatz Farber, of Harrisburg, Is completing a pair of brick houses along Trindle road and they will be ready for occupancy within a short time. liuilding in New Cumberland New Cumberland will come in for its share of new buildings, too, during the summer and already a number of homes are under way. Others will be started as soon as the weather be comes settled. Jacob Bentzel is erect ing a now home on Bridge street, near Ninth, and J. R. Richenbach is getting ready to break ground on Tenth street, in Brandt's new extension. N. S. Kirk pat rick is building three new dwell ings on Eleventh street and James Peterman is completing a new brick house at Nihth and Bridge streets, which he will occupy in tho near future. In Enola and West Fairview there will be some buildings, also, and in the latter town improvements will be made to a number of houses. Ira E. Shaull, of West Fairview, has purchased a row of six houses near the West Fairview sclioolhouse and is making improve ments to them. In Enola Mr. Shaull is developing a tract known as Shaull's Addition to Enola and on this plot a row of six houses, a double house and a bungalow will be erected during the summer months Every house in Enola is occupied at the present time and inasmuch as the Enola Realty Company has announced that It will not build any more homes in the town, individuals are becoming active and making arrangements to erect houses. If the present demand for houses in Enola continues, it is quite likely that Enola will be the scene of another big building boom during this year. Business Men to Organize And then in addition to all of the new buildings which will be erected during the next few months business men on the West Shore are planning to organize and improve conditions in every part of the territory. Bead era In this movement are H. H. Rice and W. C. Baer, members of the West Shore Realty Company. Mr. Baer in discussing the propo sition said that the object of the or ganization was to promote the business and social interests of the community. He declared that he had spoken to about fifty of the business men in the West Shore towns betwene Enola and New Cumberland and as far west as Camp Hill and that they were all favorable to a plan to boost West Shore interests. Mr. Baer's plan is to first talk to all of the hundred or more men engaged In business in the 'cross-river towns and after getting their sentiment issue a call for a meeting for the purpose of organizing a We3t Shore Business Men's Association. The object of the organization is to-have all of the com munity's business men work for the uplift of the territory and do anything which will tend to benefit the com munity in general. One of the schemes which Mr. Baer wants io see carried out is a system of advertising. "There are many peo- Baer. "who do not know of the West nle outs'de of Harrisburg." said Mr. Shore. What we propose to do is to take a page in a Harrisburg paper every day in tljc week and fill it with West Shore advertising and news. The business men's association could be di vided into three groups so that, each group would only have to advertise twice a week and then it would not cost each man very much. By this method we could put our business men on an eaual footing with the business men in Harrisburg. as far as advertls. ine goes, and in addition we would be boosting our West Shore. Every per son T have talked to is favorable to the association and the advertising plan and I believe that in a very short time we will be ready to organize."
