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.

To Keep Your Skin
Free From Hairs
(Beauty Topics)
If you are willing to spend a few
minutes' time in your room using a
delatofie pa:ste, you can easily banish
any ugly, hairy growth without dis
comfort or injury. The paste is made
by mixing some water with a little
powdered delatone. This is then
spread over the hairy surface and
after about 2 minutes rubbed off and
the skin washed. You will not be dis
appointed with this treatment, pro
viding you get real delatoue.
What Causes Tuberculosis ?
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.

PRECEDENT CASE
COMES UP SOON
Maulfair Appeal Will Have a
State-Wide Bearing Say
Officials at Capitol
GOVERNOR TO SPEAK
Leaves Tomorrow For Scran
ton; News Found About
the State Capitol
\\\ //J compensation case
Vv\\ appeal which is
NXVVvfeJ fTT< now- before the
i State Workmen's
Compensation
Board will likely
ia jSJ39EL®k' l>e a, 'Kued within a
11 JwlllWWe fortnight as there
iMlUlHlil ,s State-wide inter
jygP'-' in the decision
ow-ing to the ef
feet. Senator E.
E. Beidleman, who Is In charge of
the appeal, is preparing the papers
and the Idea is tp have the hearing
next week or the following week. The
case will set a precedent.
In all probability the Board will sit
in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre to hear
argument in some appeals. They are
to be taken soon by attorneys and
will be important for the coal regions.
To-morrow the Compensation
Board will meet in Philadelphia for
several conferences. It will be here
the following week.
Interest in Conference. State
wide interest is being taken in the
conference called by the Governor for
March 23 to discuss ways and means
for reduction of accidents in indus
tries. The experts of the Department
of Labor and Industry have classified
the accidents for January and
February and will be able to show just
where some steps must be taken to
bring about improvement in condi
tions. Some of the biggest men in
the State are expected to come here
for the meeting. Next to the coming
conference of borough officials in
April, which has also been called by
the Governor, this meeting will be of
great Importance.
So Judge Yet. Governor Brum
baugh has not yet selected the judge
to succeed Judge Ralston in Phila
delphia. The name of John Mona
ghan, the public service Commissioner
is being suggested by many men.
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. It ranks
sixteenth for the number of horses
and mules. >
Appointed Inspector. Hubert C.
Eicher, of Scottdale, has been ap
pointed Inspector of school situations
by the State Board of Education. He
will assume his duties at once.
Honor for Crichton. Thomas A.
Crichton, cashier of the State Treas
ury and one of the leaders of the
Tioga county bar. has been elected
president of the Tioga Bar Associa
tion.

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. One leverman was dis
missed because he was off duty with
out leave. Two suspensions were made
because of booze habits, and one was
given two weeks for fighting on duty.
During February there were 20,821
tests and only 23 partial violations
were reported, the percentage of effi
ciency being 99.9. One passenger en
gineer had a perfect schedule record
for the month and two other employes
were given mention for discovering
broken brake riggings.

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."

ft GIRL'S COMPLEXION
Very few girls get through their 'teeni

their faces.
These may be due to indigestion result
ing from improper diet. If so they will
quickly disappear when the proper food
is adhered to. If they are accompanied
by pallor and listlessness you must looli
to the condition of the blood.
Because these eruptions on the faces ol
school girls are so common they seldom
receive the attention from parents thai
they require. When they indicate thin

in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Thesetonic
