FOR GUN MAKING
Bethlehem Steel Company to
Enlarge Departments at
Lehigh Plant
South Bethlehem, Pa., Feb. 14.—1n
order to meet the manufacturing re
quirements of the new 16-inch
50-caliber guns recently designed by
the ordnance department of Navy, the
Bethlehem Steel Company is enlarg
ing the necessary departments of the
Lehigh plant in order to make these
guns. The open hearth department
will be changed most.
Use Large Cranes
In order to transport the ingots very
large cranes are used. A building 460
by 95 feet is required to house this
equipment. For machining and rifling
these huge guns a machine shop 160
by 7,000 feet will be required to turn
out two of the largest guns a month.
The total amount involved in the
construction of the new buildings will
be $5,000,000. The new buildings will
cover seven acres of land. More than
400 skilled workmen will be employed.
ONLY ANSWER POSSIBLE
London. Feb. 14. The reply of
tho United States to Germany's offer
to negotiate is editorially declared here
to be the only answer compatible with
America's self respect. The Morning
Post sees in this incident an even
more profound misapprehension of the
American character by the Germans
than usual for, it adds, "it does not
seem to have occurred to them that
the proposal was an insult." The Daily
Mail comments approvingly on Presi
dent Wilson's reply.
PATROLS SWARM AROUND SHIPS

Ascania, which got in yesterday, testi
fied to the fact that armed trawlers
and other patrolboats accompanied

German People Doubt,
but Hope For Way Out
Peace or war hangs by a liair
and chance will liavo a great deal
to do with the outcome is the view
of the (ierman people, as expressed
in Berlin.
There is no sign that the Kaiser
will recede from the "ruthless"
U-boat order, and it will he follow
ed along Uie lines originally laid
down. All consequences were con
sidered before the order was given
and it will lie adhered to.
Yet the German people appar
ently hope that somehow some
thing will occur which will avoid
the precipitation of hostilities.
TO ASK BIDS ON
4 MOTOR PIECES
Will Buy Two Triple Com
binations, Service and Hose
Chemical Trucks
At a meeting of the town property
and finance committee of the borough
council last evening it was decided to
secure bids on four pieces of motor
tire apparatus to consist of two triple
combination trucks and engines, one
city service truck and one combina
tion hose and chemical truck.
The triple combination type of ap
paratus is a motor truck carrying
hose, chemical tanks and a pump. The
specifications on this apparatus will
call for a punip capacity of at least
300 gallons per minute, a body to
carry 1,200 feet of regulation fire
hose and a 100-horsepower brake test
motor.
The apparatus known as a "city
service truck" replaces the hook and
ladder truck and is used for the
same purposes. The fourth piece of
apparatus provides chemicals anil
liose and will be furnished under
specifications of the most modern
fire fighting machines.
The joint committee also discussed
the propriety of centralizing the
borough's fire apparatus in the heart
of the town in order to get the most
service in case of need.

CLEANSING GARMENT SPOTS
Simple methods for cleaning spots
and stains from clothes are often in
valuable to the housewife. Clothes free
from soil add much to personal ap
pearance.
To remove grass stains the follow
ing suggestions are offered by Miss M.
Jane Newcomb, assistant in home eco
nomics extension at the Pennsylvania
State College: wash in cold water
without soap, rub with molasses, let
stand a few minutes and wash in warm
water.
For tea and coffee stains boiling wa
ter should be poured through the spot.
If the stain is obstinate, rub with gly
cerine or borax. As a last resort use
Javelle water, which is made as fol
lows: Put one-half pound of washing
soda in an agate pan and add one
quart of boiling water, mix one-half
pound chloride of lime in two quarts
of cold water and allow the mixture to
settle, then pour the clear liquor se
cured from the lime and water into
the dissolved soda. Javelle water
shouldbe kept in a colored bottle.
To remove ink spots moisten with
salt and lemon juice and lay the gar
ment in the sun. Another method
consists in applying alternately a few
drops of oxalic acid and a few drops
of Javelle water and rinsing the gar
ment in warm water. This operation
should be repeated until the spot has
disappeared.
Iron rust may bo removed by the
lemon Juice and salt treatment ad
vised for ink spots. To remove mil
dew, wash the garment in a solution
of chloride of lime or Javelle water.
Chalmers Sedan Is
Favorite at Show
Milady has chosen the convertible
sedan. This type of closed car with its

Company, whose "sun parlor on wheels"
command more than ordinary atten
tion.
Fitted with front seats of the club
chair type and luxuriously upholstered,
the Chalmers sedan interior suggests a
roomy compartment on an ocean liner.
Five other passengers are seated in
comfort In the rear.
The all-glass construction of the body
affords an unobstructed view In all di
rections. With the glass removed the
car offers all the cool comfort of an
open touring; model. ,

THE PANGS OF
RHEUMATISM
Cannot Be Rubbed
Away With Liniments
You who are afflicted with
this most painful disease—who
know from experience just
how excruciating its pangs
are—get this fact fixed firmly
in your mind, and it will aid
you in finding a way to a com
plete recovery. Rheumatism
cannot be rubbed away with
liniments, —its pains and pangs
cannot be wiped out as if by
magic. A disease that is so full
of torture and finally renders
its victims so helpless, is a
deep-seated one; it is not on
the surface, hence it cannot be
reached by external, surface
remedies. This is no theory,
for your own experience doubt
less has shown you that you
can never expect to rid your
self of the disease in this way.
For the chances are that you,
like thousands of other suf
ferers, have been misled in
to the hope that liniments,
lotions and other applications
would cure your rheumatism.
But what has been your ex
perience? The pains possibly
have been lessened for the time
being, but have they not
promptly returned, often with
increased severity, and are you
really any nearer a cure than
before? You certainly are not,
and you never will be as long
as you rely upon treatment
that at best is merely a make
shift.
Sec what Mr. J. L. Agnew,
of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, says of
his rheumatism:
"For ten years I was
badly afflicted with rheuma
tism. the pains In my knees,
legs and ankles being almost
unbearable. I tried various
remedies without results,
until a physician advised me
to use S. S. S: stating that
the disease was In the blood.
After taking a few bottles
the pains and soreness were
greatly lessened. I continued
this medicine until all pain,
soreness and Inflammation
were Kone, and I was com
pletely cured."
J. J. AONET7,
606 E. Gambler Street,
Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
This is a typical case, and
Houck, East Hanover: Francis Lents,
Hush; Peter S. Blackwell, Steelton;

town; William I- Forrer. Thomas
Harrison, Hummeistown; George F.
Madden, Steelton; Donald G. Hepford,
Susquehanna.
everyone who has had the
slightest experience with rheu
matism will continue to suffer
and grow worse until they are
finally practically helpless, un
less they realize that the dis
ease must be combatted at its
source. Rheumatism is a dis
eased condition of the blood,
the disease attacks the body
through the blood, hence the
system can be rid of its pains
only after the blood has been
cleansed of the germs of the
disease.
Lotions, liniments and oint
ments applied to the surface
may in sortie cases deaden the
pain for the time being, but
until you attack the disease at
its foundation, you are making
no progress toward a cure, and
you are permitting the trouble
to get a firmer hold on your
system every day. This is one
reason why Rheumatism is
usually a permanent disease,
staying with its victims year
after year. Geting rid of the
disease is merely a matter of
treating it intelligently. Know
ing that it cannot be cured by
external applications, it is folly
to rely upon such treatment.
S. S. S. is without question
the most thorough blood medi
cine ever made, and it prompt
ly cleanses the blood of every
trace of impurity or disease
germs. That is why it never
fails to give satisfactory results
in even the severest cases of
Rheumatism. Being purely
vegetable without a particle of
mineral or chemical in its com
position,' it works by eliminat
ing and forcing out of the
blood all impurities and cleans
ing it thoroughly, acting as a
tonic to the entire system at
the same time. It has been in
use for more than fifty years,
and thousands of sufferers
from rheumatism give it un
stinted praise.
You are invited to write our
medical department for full in
formation and advice about the
treatment of your own case,
for which no charge is made.
