Harrisburg
Stone Which Is Cast Has
Advantages That Commend
Who built the Pyramids and how
| they were built may remain an un
sqivetl problem, but how to build stone
land how to get It in any desired shape
and of the same durability as granite
or marble, that, of course, has resolved
: itself into a simple matter, and it is
not necessary to go out of Harrisburg
|to prove how effectively it is being
done. The trimmed stone on the
'Standard Baking Company building
|.suggests an industry in Harrisburg
that may not get into the spot-light
of publicity very often, but is usually
i in evidence when big things are being
■ done. One usually things of stone
from a quarry where the drill, the
; blast or the saw- are used to get and
| shape the product which it has taken
ages to produce. But right here in
i Harrisburg it is produced in a jiffy but
is said to last for ages. Nature doesn't
i seem to be able to put much over on
i Science, when the latter gets real earn
estly on the job. Just imagine a com
position of water, cement and pow
dered stone in.proper proportions be
ing cast in a mould similar to molten
, iron. As it dries it solidities with age
l and is said to become more durable
j than the natural stone. As there is
j no sand in the composition tt* stone
| does not absorb water and therefore
lis frost proof. Samuel F. Mentier is
i president, and general manager of the
company. For fifteen years he has
specialized on cast stone work, and
'a force of men are constantly at work
ninking trimming stone for public
I buildings and the finer dwellings.

1916 REALTY OPERATIONS
ARE $40,000 AHEAD OF 1915
With the end of the first quarter of)
1916 still some two weeks distant j
Harrisburg's building operations have!
already topped the entire initial three
months of last year by nearly $40,000.
And there are prospects, according
to otticials of the building inspection
bureau, contractors and realty men. [
of some more mighty big- permits to;
be asked for before the end of March.!
January was an exceptionally big'
month, especially for the first month i
of the new year, February fell away !
a trifle as compured to the similar j
| month of 1915, but March figures thus;
far have soared 'way and beyond the'
estimated total of permits for March j
a year ago.
The Big Joli
To-day's big boost of some $13,-!
000 for the extensions, additions, re- j
modeling, etc.. of Covenant Presbyte-1
rian Church has boosted the .March j
total thus far to close to $130,000.
And among the larger permits due!
this month according to contractors.!
will be the request for the new J. B. i
Montgomery warehouse thai is to be;
located on Tenth street below Market
street. Just as soon as the necessary
siding arrangements can be completed;
it is understood, the warehouse job
will be started.
March records up until yesterday;
showed an expenditure for buildings:
of $96,500 with the Covenant church I
permit of $13,000 expected early to
day. In March, 1915, the entire month's
total was but $152,750. February
of 1916, showed a total outlay of $31.-
460 while in 1915 the estimated ex
penditure for buildings was $38,425.
In building history, however, Janu-I
ary's record will stand out pre-emi-1
nently for some years to come: .iust i
$80,575 represented that month's <
business, while for the same month of!
1915. the total permits called for but j
$7,575. Consequently the total thus j
far for the first quarter approximates |
$243,535 as compared to $198,750 for;
the entire quarter ending March 31,
1915. a gain of something more than
$44,000.
More to Come
Incidentally some mighty requests
for permission to build may be filed

Dust Elimination Is
Essential in Bakery
Believing cleanliness to be of para
mount important in conducting the
modern bakery, the Standard Baking
Company lias recently closed a con
tract with the Norman C. Hayner Co.,
of Rochester. N. Y., manufacturers of
"Dust Proof" floor dressing, for an
enormous quantity of their product.
"Dust Proof" is an oil dressing
which prevents the accumulation of
germ-breeding dust and foreign mat
ter. all of which is disastrous to the
well-kept bakery.
This dressing was selected in spite
of its higher cost, for it was necessary
to have a dressing that would not
"track" from one room to another. It
does not soil the clothing of the work
j men—which insures absolute cleanli
; ness at all times where it is used.

BEIDLEMAN IS
FOR HERR TRACT
Senator Points Out Advantages
of This Site For New
Higli School
In discussing his views of Harris-
I burg's new high school needs, voiced J
I in a brief way at a recent meeting' of I
I the narriahurg Real Estate Hoard, I
' Senator 10. E. Boidlemnn went into a I
! little more detali.
I The Senator believes the plot known '
las the Herr tract, from Twelfth to j
j Tenth streets, between Cumberland]
street and the State Hospital, will be,
the most serviceable and the best
adapted for (he purpose.
I do not want to be considered as !
having any Interest in this proposition \
except as a taxpayer and the fact that '
what education I received came '
through the Harrisburg schools. And '
that 1 would not be interested in any!
other wny, 1 am sure, is confirmed by
j the fact that, the site which I favor for 1
! a high school location is owned by one
I who lms never been either my per- ;
j stmal or political friend. I favor what
Is known as the llerr tract' for various
| reasons. One is that the School Hoard
i could purchase from twenty-five to
j thirty acres of ground for about what
|it would cost to buy approximately
i three-fourths of an acre in a so-called
j central location. Another reason is
j that our people have been making ex
! tensive effort to advertise Harrisburg.
t AVe are about completing the exten
j sion of Capitol Park, which under
-1 taking has considerably changed the
living conditions of many people who
| were compelled to leave a congested
I district and take up their homes in
other and more desirably built up sec
tions of the city. The Capitol Park
I extension will mean much in the wtvy
of praise we will receive from the
public traveling on the main lines of
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
"A large tract of ground located
somewhat out of the center of school
population would be feasible to take
care of a high school proposition in a
series of units. One unit should cover
a central administration building, to
which could be attached the audi
torium and study halls, it could be
built of such size as to anticipate the
future by possibly ten years. Another
unit should cover the power •'•plant,
also built, in point of size but not of
equipment, to anticipate the future by
, the same period of years. Other units
j required for the present would be one
.or more buildings containing recitation
rooms and probably a building housing
chemistry, physics, biology and botany,
with an opportunity to provide a
] botanical garden. A separate build
| ing should at some time be provided
: for domestic science, a building which,
I unquestionably, is best isolated from
1 the other buildings."
Big Uptown Plot Is

"AWURIC!"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY
This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared to it. For thosa
easily recognized symptoms of inHani
! mation —as backache, scalding urina
and frequent urination, as well as sedi
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
! simply wonderful how surely "Anuric"
| acts. ' The best of results "are
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
I in the joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
j so frequently and persistently accom
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest "drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package of
"Anuric," manufactured by Dr. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for a free
sample. If you suspect kidney or blad
der trouble, send biin a sample of youi'
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
Dr. Pierce will report to you, without
| fee or charge.
I NOTK : French scientists aflirm that
! "Anuric" is thirty-seven times more
I active than lithia" in eliminating uric
i acid, and is a harmless but reliable
, chemical compound that may be safely
' given to children, but should be used
j only by grown-ups who actually wish to
i restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously "using one box —or
more in extreme cases —as "Anuric"
(thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)
is bv far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.
Dr. Pierce's Pellets are the original
little Liver Pills. One little Pellet for
a laxative —three for a cathartic.
