In nearly all catarrhal conditions of the stomach there is apt to be an lnsuf- ! ficlent blood supply allowing the food to ferment and sour before digestion can take place. A glass of hot water be fore meals will draw the blood to the stomach, thus promoting secretion and bisurated magnesia further helps by Its solvent action on the mucus thus still more furthering the natural secretion of the digestive juices, so that the food I contents will not ferment.

HARFOSBURG TELEGRAPH TO PLACE PENN ROAD MARKERS Contracts Let at Annual Meet ing For Signs Over 410 Miles of Highway Contracts were let at the meeting of the William Penn Highway Association yesterday for the marking of the high way route over 410 miles of road, which Includes the main William Penn, the New York < xtension and the alternate routes in Blair and Mifflin' counties. '•'or the first time the Penn road now deviates from thoroughfares which are part of the State highway j system. From Norristowiv to Phila-' delplpa the route has been changed to the Old Ridge road, which will be permanentized before October 1. and will cut the distance to Philadelphia by three or four miles. The matter of the placing of mark ers is left to the discretion of the gov ernors in the various counties, but pains must be taken to sec that the road is so marked that travelers will not be confused at cross streets or turns. William Jennings Kc-plwtcd Several new members of the board were present at the meeting yesterday, including Roy A. Hatfield, commis sioner of Montgomery county; Andrew Morrison, Wilkinsburg. Allegheny county, and George W. Hunsicker, of Allentown, Lehigh county. The old officers of the association were re-elected, as follows: William Jennings, of Harrisburg, president; E. M. C. Africa, of Huntingdon, and Frank M. Graff, of Blairsvllle. vice presidents; David Barry, of Johns town, treasurre. and M. H. James, of Harrisburg, secretary. The association stands back of Presi dent Wilson to the last one of its sev eral thousand members. The associa tion adopted unanimously the reso lution introduced by E. M. C. Africa pledging the support of the biggest roads promoting body in any state in America to the state and federal gov ernments. The resolution also calls upon Governor Brumbaugh's public safety committee to urge upon the state's executive, legislative and high way departments the urgent necessity for the immediate completion of the William Penn and the Lincoln high ways. Pennsylvania's only two possible direct transstate thoroughfares. HOW A SUBMARINE NET WORKS A submarine net is made of wire rope, about as thick as a lead pencil, and the meshes are of great size— about ten or fifteen feet square. The net has floats on top that keep bob bing up and down like the "float on a fish line and on the bottom are weights that keep the whole thing in a perpendicular position. The sub marine cannot submerge to very great depths on account of the pressure— -200 feet being about the limiting depth. It sails innocently along, there fore, until it pushes its nose into these meshes. The net now trails along on both sides of the submarine —its prog ress revealing the fact that something below is supplying Hie motive power. Perhaps the net suddenly stops; that means that the hidden submarine lias stopped, its navigators having made the horrible discovery that they are trapped—or perhaps the net has be come twisted in thepropeller. Under these conditions the wise submarine rises to the surface. R surrenders, be comes the property of the enemy, and its crew are made prisoners. If it does not take sue haction one of two things will happen. The enemy will wait upon the surface until the submersible comes up or, if it starts moving, the enemy will follow until the inevitable uprising. But perhaps the surface commander gets impatient; in such a case he can let a bomb down into the water, which will explode when it touches the roof of the submarine. Of course, the submerged Germans know that this bomb is likely to drop at any minute; the "psychology" of such a situation tends to persuade the im prisoned crew to surrender.—The World's Work for March.

HUMAN BOMB WANTS IN AERIAL Movie Actor, Motorcycle Racer and All Around Daredevil Trying to Get Into Army F. J. Seigert, better known aa Shorty, a former resident of this city, with a record that reads like the proverbial Jack of all trades proverb, movie actor, balloonist, motorcycle racer and -what not, arrived in town Sunday, stopping off to see his old friends. After looking: the town over and observing: the many changes that nec essarily take place after an absence of yearsj Shorty strolled up Market street and nonchalantly entered the army re cruiting station in the Bergner build ing. - Inquiring for information of First Class Private H. R, Gast, regarding the aviation corps he was asked what he could do. His record for daredevil stunts completely won his listeners and he was immediately invited to enlist. Known aa Human Donb Shorty Is known as the human bomb, having gotten this name In 1913 at Ludlow, Ky., when he went up in a bal loon with explosives tied to his para chute and himself. After cutting loose at an altitude of 2,500 feet the explosives were fired. Shorty landed safely, after a Jump made with six parachutes, the first man to do this daring stunt and the record stands to-day. He was an understudy to many of the famous bailodifilsts that have thrill ed the country when it was not the safe and sane sport that It is to-day. In 1812 he made ascensions in Belle Island park, Oklahoma City, every Sun day during the summer, and was of ficial starter at the motordome In low, Ky., when Odin Johnson crashed through the fence on the track and killed ten people, In 1915 appeared as the strike leader in the picture "The Clarion Strike," starring Carlisle Blackwell, in which a dozen of the picture strikers were hurt in the big strike scene, some seri ously, and later was with the Metro wp* M eout JoyHlng up lo NEWS OF S LEAGUE SUPPORTS AMERICANIZATION Endorse Plan For the Educa tion of Steelton's Foreign Element The Municipnl League, in monthly session last night endorsed the plan for j the Americanization or Steeljon's for- | signers and pledged Its support and i co-operation in working it out.

TO REMOVE SOME POLES IN STREET Report Made to Municipal Lea gue That Few Poles in Front Street Will Come Down Elimination of poles and overhend wires from Kront street in the busi ness section; improved car service and taxation of trolley cars operating in the borough were among the topics of discussian by the Municipal league last night. T. T. McEntee, president of the league and a member of Council, who has been working on the pole elhui nation problem for some time re ported that progress had been made. Definite action is expected to be taken by the electric light company and telephone companies in a short time. Mr. McEntee stated the companies said they were not able to remove all their poles at this time but would co-operate with the borough in dou bling up the wiring and remove many of the poles. Mr. McEntee stated that he would continue the "work and report at the next meeting. The plan of pole elimination is to place all overhead wires on sections of poles in the canal bed and in River Alley. Poles Are Unsightly The condition of many of the poles in the borough streets was report ed to the league. Many are leaning over to a sharp degree and not only make a bad appearance but endan ger the traveling public. This matter will be taj<en up later. Improved car service was discussed in length, but the League decided to withhold action until the present sur vey of conditions by a Chicago firm is completed. I. Fiddler and Company, of Reading, applied to the Municipal League tor its assistance in locating a shirt fac tory in the borough. The secretary was authorized to communicate with the company and ask its conditions. It is understood that the new firm wrtuld employ about 100 persons. Taxation of street cars was not dis cussed at length due to the lack of information relative to the borough tax. Steelton Snapshots Mrs. Aldcu in Boston.—Mrs. C. A.
