WHArfSAN I
INTERNAL BATH?
If you were to ask a dozen people \
this question probably not one would I
answer correctly, although half a
million Americans arc now using it j
with a marked improvement in health |
and strength.
The Internal Bath of to-day is no
more like the old-fashioned Enema j
than a Vacuum Cleaner is like a whisk- !
broom.
Now, by means of the "J. p. L. Cas- I
cade," simple warm water cleanses the
Lower Intestine the entire length, re
moves all the poisonous waste matter
therein and keeps it clean and pure
as Nature demands it shall be for per
fect health.
You will be astonished at your feel- 1
ings the morning after taking an In- ;
ternal Bath by means of the "J. B. I*.
Cascade." You will feel bright, brisk, j
confident and as though everything is
"working right"—and it Is.
It absolutely removes Constipation
and prevents Auto-Intoxication.
Croll Keller, 405 Market street, and
Geo. C. Potts's drug store, in Harris- |
burg, will explain it fully to you, and <
on request will give you a free book <
on the subject by an eminent special- I

Oilers Solution
to Thin People
Says Three-Grain Hypo-Nuclane
Tablets Increases Weight-
Steadily.
New Theory of Nutrition Brings
Revolution to Anaemic Folks.
A scientist evolved a theory and
proceeded to demonstrate it to be
fact. The theory involved nutritive
processes for thin, bloodless, nervous,
aenemic people. The red corpuscles
of the blood must be increased before
weight or flesh can be formed on
"skinny" folks. A salient extract from'
the yolk of eggs, combined with hypo
phosphites, iron, and simple vegetable
tonics, actually solved the problem.
The process is intricate, but the re
sults are purely beneficial. These lit
tle tablets taken with your meals, aid
digestion, increase nutrition and force
new blood and tissue building mate
rials into the nutritive channels with a.
consequent increased absorption and
retention for building flesh. They do
it, these tablets, but weigh before be
ginning and one or two packages will
convince the most skeptical. Sold by

ENGLAND TO TOP
OFF HER IMPORTS
[Continued From First Page]
Premier Lloyd George said the suc-
I cess of the allied cause depended upon
| ability to solve the tonnage shortage,
■which was now affecting the ordinary
needs of the nation and military exi
' gencies. The situation, he declared,
j called for the gravest measures.
The premier said there was no sure
way to victory without hunting the
submarines from the deep.
Enormous sacrifices were necessary
i from the British public, said Mr. Lloyd
; George. He stated the government
proposed to dispense with all non-es
! sential importations to save tonnage.
There was a crowded house at the
special meeting held to-day to listen
to the premier's statement on the re
i striction of imports and the encour
i agement of agriculture. Among those
I in the diplomatic gallery were Premier
! Borden, of Canada; Premier Massy, of
I New Zealand, and many representa
j tives of allied nations and the domin
-1 ions.
Success Depends on Co-operation
The premier said the ultimate suc
cess of the allied cause depended on
the solution of the tonnage difflcul
t ties with which they were confronted,
i Before the war British tonnage had
been just adequate and since that time
; there had been an enormous increase
in the demand for tonnage. More than
| 1,000,000 tons of British shipping had
1 been allocated to France alone and a
| very considerable amount had been
! set aside for Russia and Italy. In ad
-1 dition a considerable amount had been
; sunk.
! Mr. Lloyd George said that for some
time there has been a shortage of ton
j nage required for the general needs
| of the nation and even a slight short
j age in the tonnage for military pur
poses. The nation should realize ab
j solutely what the conditions are.
Government Hopeful
"If we take drastic measures," he
| continued, "we can cope with the sub-
I marine menace, but if the nation is
not prepared to accept drastic meas
! urcs for dealing with the menace, dis
aster is before us.
"The government is hopeful of flnd
j ing means of dealing with the subma
rine but we should be guilty of folly
\ if we rested tranquilly upon the ex
, peetation of realization of that hope.
We have to deal ruthlessly and
. promptly with the tonnage problem by
' measures which impose great sacrifice
upon the country.
"There are three sets of measures:
I First, by the navy, as described by Bir
j Edward Carson (first lord of the Ad
jmiralty): second, the building of mer
! chant ships; third, dispensing with un
, necessary commodities from abroad
' and production of as much food as
possible at home."
Rain May Cause Ice
On River to Break
1 Indications that promise rain for
' Harrisburg and vicinity within the
; next twenty-four hours may bring
■ about a general breakup of the Ice In
the Susquehanna and its branches. The
approach of a cold wave schedule that
I may strike this section of the State
i late to-morrow may prevent a general
■ movement of the ice.
The weather throughout the United
, States for the past several davs has
been unusually warm for this time of
' year. Thunderstorms and rain were re
ported from several of the Middle
Western States. Colder weather Is
I predicted for the Atlantic coast to
] morrow.
HOT METEOR SETS BED AFIRE.
San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 21.—A
i burning particle from a meteor fall
ing from the sky crashed through the
roof of a ranch house and set fire to
a mattress on a bed in Webb county.
The story is substantiated by Wil
liam Reuter and L. S. Cofroth, of San
Antonio, who while on a hunting trip
were occupants of the deserted ranch
house.
The missile, which resembled a
[ piece of jet is the size of a hen egg.
The men were sitting in the room
. when they saw what they believed to
j be a falling star start from the sky
! and In a few seconds the red hot par
ticle crashed through the frail root
and fell on tte bed, burning a hole
through a blanket and the mattress

STOCKS OF
LOWER
The stocks of food in great Britain
at the present time are lower than they
ever have been before, Mr. Lloyd
George said. It was essential for the
life of the nation, he declared, that
every possible effort be made to in
crease home production.
The premier announced that the
government would guarantee a price
of 38 shillings, 6 pence for oats this
year, 32 shillings for the next two
years and 2 4 shillings for the three
following years. The price of pota
toes would be guaranteed for the com
ing season only at 6 pounds (30) a
ton.
The importation of apples, tomatoes
and fruits will be prohibited entirely.
No Early Decrease
The opinion was expressed by the
premier that food prices were not
likely to decrease for a long time after
the war, inasmuch as Germany would
then be a heavier purchaser than ever
before. Therefore it was safe to
grant to the farmers a minimum price
over a definite period of time, which
was the only way to bring about im
mediate action.
The premier proposed a minimum
FOODS
THAN EVER
wage of 25 shilling's weekly for agri
cultural workers.
For wheat the government will
guarantee the farmer the following
minimum prices per quarter: For the
preesnt year, B0 shillings; for 1918 and
1919, 55 shillings; for 1920, 1921 and
1922, 45 shillings.
Brewing will he cut down to ten
million barrels annually. A similar
reduction will bo made in the output
of spirits, affecting a saving of 600,000
tons of food stuffs.
Must Cultivate I .ami
The importation of aerate, mineral
and table waters will be prohibited.
Powers will be given to the Board of
Agriculture to compel land owners to
cultivate their ground. The minimum
wage for farm labor announced by
Mr. Lloyd George, 25 shillings a week,
represents an increase of 50 to 80
per cent, over the present prevailing
payment.
The importation of paper, the pre
mier announced, must lie curtailed by
a further 640,000 tons annually.
The only expections made in the
prohibition of fruit importations will
be in the cases of oranges and bananas
in which the amount brought in will
be restricted 25 per cent. The same
restriction Mfill apply to nuts. Canned
salmon importations will be reduced
50 per cent. The importation of for
eign tea. coffee and cocoa is prohibit
ed and even the amount of India tea
which may be bought in is reduced.
premier said it was expected to
save 900,000 tons of shipping yearly on
foodstuffs.
In announcing the decision to re
j strict the importation of paper Mr.
I Lloyd George said the government had
| arrived at the conclusion that a very
• j substantial reduction was necessary
and that the amount could be cut to
j half of what is now allowed. This
would reduce the allowance to 640,000
11 tons.
Essential Articles Free
I All essential articles of food, he
I continued, would be on the free list,
but certain articles would be reduced
|or prohibited. The stoppage of im
j portation of coffee, tea and cocoa for
the time being was due to the fact
I that large supplies were on hand. The
I premier said he regretted very much
I the cutting off of certain luxuries
| which came from France and Italy.
| These restrictions would be im
posed immediately, said, the premier.
Steps would be taken to prevent spe
culative buying and if necessary the
| food controller would take control of
the commodity. The restrictions had
been carefully considered, and he ask
ed the House to take them us a whole. 1
Can Then Face tlic Worst
The premier declared he had not
j the slightest doubt that if the whole
program were carried out and if all
those who could help in production
j did help, "I honestly say wo can face
! the worst the enemy can do. and that
1 ! is what we ought to be prepared to
do."
In dealing with the question of pro
duction the premier said:
"Then there is the question of our
home supplies of food. I want the
country to know that at present our
food stocks are low. This is not due
to submarines, but to the bad harvest.
Tt Is esstntlal to the safety of the
\Relieves Serious Case
of Chronic
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin'
Corrects Condition That
Seemed Hopeless
| After si '.jring from chronic con
| stipation until she was so run down
I she was unable to do any kind of
work. Miss H. A. Frees, 209 Adams
street, Dayton, Ohio, obtained a bot
i tie of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
! and used ;t with such gratifying re
sults that she continued the treat
j ment and has written to Dr. Caldwell
j that her condition is again normal,
! and that she wants to recommend
Syrup Pepsin to everyone who suf
fers with constipation.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
Combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, gentle in its action and
free from griping or other pain or dis
comfort It contains no opiate or
i narcotic drug, and, while acting read
j ily on the most stubborn case of in
| active bowels, is absolutely safe for
! the tiniest babe, so that it is the Ideal
| family laxative and should be kept
on hand in every household for use ,
j when needed.
I Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin costs
I only fifty ..ents a bottle and is sold
lin drug stores everywhere. To avoid
i
| nation that we put forth every effort j
to increase production this year. There,
[are still a few weeks to sow spring |
wheat, oats and barley. To induce the |
farmer to plow up pasture land imnie- j
dlately, the government proposes to |
guarantee the farmer a minimum i
price for a definite period, while a |
minimum wage of 25 shillings weekly j
will be fixed for the laborer."
