STEELTON AND TOWNS
FIXED PRICES IN
STEEL ALARMING
Small Manufacturers Could
Scarcely Come Out Even on
Government Scale
At the meeting of the steel man
ufacturers on April 26, to arrange
for apportioning Government orders
for war purposes, it came out that
610,000 tons of plates, shapes and
bars would be required for schedules
already made up, while in all forms
of steel the year's requirements are
put at 1,100,000 tons. At the 2.90 c.
price for plates and 2,50 c. for shapes
and bars some of the smaller manu
facturers, buying raw material at
market prices, could scarcely come
out even.
The Iron Age of to-day. In sum
marizing the situation, says:
"The steel trade has noted with
great interest the intimations from
informed sources that the Govern
ment in its next purchase of copper
will pay substantially the market
price, instead of exacting the sweep
ing concessions recently made. The
decision is highly significant. Wages
based on sliding scale agreements
are involved, as is also the prosperity
of industries which it is proposed
to tax heavily for war purposes.
"That plans are plainly shaping
up for purchases of iron and steel,
copper, spelter and all other metals
by the United States Government
and the Entente Allies in combina
tion is the outstanding fact in the
situation to-day. That will mean
that the industries involved will not
lie and must not be sacrificed and
that the Government, in putting it
self alongside its allies, will be will
ing to pay prices which will main
tain and not disturb the present
condition of its leading industries."

GOOD RESULTS
FROM PAGEANT
More Than $250 Donated to
Red Cross Society by High
School Students
Announcement was made by Mrs.
Robert Rutherford, treasurer of the
lied Cross Society, this morning that
the proceeds derived from the repro
duction of "The Pageant of History"
by high school students Tuesday
night would pass $250. Reports
coming in to-day insured the com
mittee that there would be $250 and
probably S3OO. This is the largest
donation given the society. The
membership to-day stood at 1,479.
Kmployes of the police force of
the local steel plant to-day sent in a
contribution of $35. J. M. Earnest
is chief of this department.
Students from the third and ninth
rooms of the borough schools of
which Miss Anna Gardner and Miss
Blanche Clever are teachers sent in
a contribution of $6.75.
Rivalry between the departments
of the steel plant for the largest
number of ne\y members is arousing
much interest. The foremen of the
departments are holding their re
ports back in their erforts to have
the largest, each department head
declaring that he is going to have
the largest list of new members.

fnulii nfifvO* Daughters of Columbia! Your duty is clear. You must
take the place of these two million men —in the field, in
the factory and in the office. Your patriotism leaves
you no choice. Your only choice is "what will I do?"
*lB^ —The fields and the factories do not require the same
highly developed skill and training as the offices. Be
if •—sides, there is plenty of untrained help. The big cry—
I pF the big loss—the big demand—will be for trained in
telligent help.
It is for you to answer. Which service will you render? Will it be in the fields or in the fac
tories at hard, tedious work with long hours and small pay or will it be in the offices amid pleas
ant suf-roundings, offering infinitely greater opportunities and paying larger salaries?
Never in all the history of American business will there be such a demand for office help, of every
character, as will deluge us in the extremely near future. Those who are "fit" will be selected—
those who are fittest will receive the posts of honor and the fat pay envelopes.
Will you be fit—or unfit? Will you be a real patriot by so prepar
ing yourself that you can fill a position where ability and training
are needed?
Begin at once to "train" for one of the preferred positions—of which there will be plenty. The
business world and Uncle Sam's Civil Service departments cannot cease their operations in the
least—yet, vacancies will be plentiful—they must be filled—business and governmental operations
must go on.
Will you play your part as you should or will you be forced to take one of the objectionable back
seats?
Write, phone or call upon us: we are ready, now, to train you for clerical, stenographic and Civil
Service positions.

ment, saying the third-class city
league favored it and that it afford
ed the fairest plan. Messrs. Camp
bell, Butler, and_ Phillips, Clearfield,
supported him.

Stomach Troubles Ar|
Due To Acidity
Tell* Mute, Certain, Speedy Kellef For
\cl(l InlllKOliu"
So-called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach
ache and inability to retain food, are
in probably nine cases out of ten,
simply evidence that excessive secre
tion of acid is taking place in the
stomach causing the formation of gas
and acids.
CJas distends the stomach and cause*
that full, oppressive burning feelinw
sometimes Known as heartburn, while
the add irritates and inflames the
delicate lining of the stomach. Iho
trouble lies entirely in the excessive
development or secretion of add.
To stop or prevent tills souring of
the food contents of the stomach and
to neutralize the acid, and make it
bland and harmless, a teaspoonful or
blsurated magnesia, a good and effec
tive corrector of acid stomach, should
be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot
or cold water after eating, or when
ever gas, sourness or acidity Is felt.
This sweetens the stomach and neu-
trallzcs the acidity In a few momenta
and is a perfectly harmless and in
expensive remedy to use.
An antacid, such as bisurated mafSr
nesia which can be obtained from any
druggist in either powder or tablet
form, enables the stomach to do its
work properly without the aid of arti
ficial digestents. Magnesia comes in
several forms, so he certain to ask
for and take only Bisurated Magnesia
which is especially prepared for the
above purpose. Geo. A. Gorgaa can
supply you.—Advertisement.
