TEST SUITS WILL
CAUSE NO DELAYS
General Snyder's Recommen
dation to Keep Govt, in
Motion Approved
The question of whether the Gov
ernor can reappoint to office men
rejected by the Senate will be tested
out in the courts of the State without
the pay of attaches of departments
being held up. It is expected that it
will take a year to get a decision.
The way for starting proceedings to
obtain a decision on the purely con
stitutional question without affecting
pay of subordinates was paved to-day
when Attorney General Brown sent
a letter to Auditor General Snyder,
saying that It was his desire that no
obstacle be "placed in the way of em
ployes of such departments promptly
receiving their salaries and expenses."
Mr. Brown said: "I understand from
your fetter that you agree that if
the requisitions for such payrolls fqr
monthly salaries and expense ac
counts are- signed by' deputies or
chief clerks, it shall be without preju
dice to the heads of such departments
in any litigation Wrought to sustain
• their title to the office; that is to say,
that no question of estoppel, or other
question, shall be raised against such
persons because of the fact that the
requisition is signed by the deputies
or chief clerks, and not by the heads
of the departments. If such an un
derstanding is agreed upon, I see no
reason why there should be any delay
in payment." ■
This letter was replied to by Mr.
Snyder, accepting the arrangement
and the heads of departments who
were vowing that they woujd have no
deputies or chief clerks sign payrolls,
will probably follow the advice of
the attorney general without delav.
Their own salaries will probably be
held up. but they can stand If better
than the clerks.
As soon as this arrangement IsMn
force the suits can be started to ob
-tain a decision through mandamus,
calling upon the auditor general to
recognize the officials.

"I Couldn't Sleep"
Says Mamie Lucha
Could Only Rest By Lying Face
Down and Then Only For
a Little While
TANLAC HELPED HER QUICKLY
"I don't know what you call the
trouble I had," says Mamie Lucha,
of Steelton, Pa., "but I do know that
I was miserable and that of all the
medicines I tried, Tanlac was the
only one that did me any lasting
good.
"I couldn't sleep at all, no matter
how tired I was at the end of the
day, and to get any rest at all I had
to lie on my face. For if I tried
to go to sleep on my back or side
I would all choke up until I couldn't
seem to get my breath. I was con
stipated, too, and that made me feel
worse.
"But I began to rest better after
the first few doses of Tanlac, for It
seemed to tone up and invigorate
my whole system and now I can go
to bed at night and sleep soundly
until morning, waking up feeling
fresh as a daisy."
Tanlac, the famcfus reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the
Tanlac man Is meeting the people
and explaining the merits of this
master medicine.

some troubles, which are now, after
taking Sanpan, gone.
"My stomach is In fine shape, my
nerves are acting perfectly, and I
am feeling better than I have for
many yea-s. Sanpan is a wonder
worker, and I r .ri pleased to give you

U.S.TO CONTROL
WITH BRITAIN
ALL SHIPPING
Japan Only One of Allies Yet
to Consent to Great
War Measure
Washington, July 24.—The State
Department and the British foreign
office to-day are expected to reach an
agreement soon on the program of
the special shipping commissioners ot
both nations, providing for sharp re
ductions in ocean freight rates and
Anglo-American control of all allied
merchantmen in the Atlantic. The
allies, with the possible exception of
Japan, have already assented to the
agreement. ,
It is proposed to have Japan fur
nish a trade fleet for service in the
Atlantic. Final details of the agree
ment in its relation to Japan will be
completed upon the arrival of the
Japanese mission.
The program gives to the United
States and Great Britain virtual con
trol of the world's shipping. Mastery
of neutral merchantmen would be ob
tained by enforcing regulations de
nying supplies of bunker coal to ves
sels of the no>ncombatants unless
consent was given to make at least
a portion of the sailings' between
American and allied ports.

Why Nine People Out of Ten Have
Acid Stomach and Indigestion
Acids in Stomach that Sour and Ferment Your Food
Should be Neutralized With a Little Magnesia to
End Indigestion.
"While there are many forms of
stomach trouble," says a physician
who has made a special study of
stomach disorders. "I believe that
fully 90 per cent of these cases are
traceable to the excessive secre
tion of hydro-chloric acid In the
stomach with consequent food fer
mentation, gas and delayed diges
tion."
The stomach needs a certain
amount of acid for proper diges
tion, but many people have an un
natural tendency to secrete more
acid than their stomach requires.
This excess acid makes all the
trouble. >
Their stomachs are almost con
stantly In a state of sourness and
ferment, extremely Irritating and
inflaming to the stomach lining
and most everything they eat dis
agrees and turns to gas. No won
der we have so much so-called In
digestion and dyspepsia.
An "acid stomach" should be neu
tralized or sweetened daily with
King Oscar
5c Cigars
€| There are many cigars of many
kinds and many prices, but for 26
years King Oscars have been "on top"
for quality, regularity and mellowness.
We ask you to give this old friend a
new trial and get more than your
money's worth for a nickel.

BRITAIN READY
TO OUTLINE ITS
. AIMS IN WAR
Lloyd George to Speak at Im
pressive Service on Anni
versary of Conflict *
By Associated Press
London, July 24. —The beginning
of the fourth year of the war will
be signalized in Great Britain by lm
portant events, notably a great re
ligious Intercession service In Lon
don. at which King George and
Queen Mary will be present and a
big meeting In London August 4,
when Premier Lloyd George will In
augurate the work of the National
War Alms Cjmmlttee In an impor
tant speech.
The object of the War Alms Com
mittee is to keep before the nation
the causes of the war and the ne
cessity of continuing hostilities un
til the forces which brought about
the conflict are destroyed. The com
mittee has four presidents, Premier
Lloyd George, Herbert H. Asquith,
Andrew Bonar Law. Chancellor of
the Exchequer and Minister of Pen
sions Barnes.
According to Information in par
liamentary lobby sources the pre
mier's speech will outline as pre
cisely an possible the war aims of
Great Britain and her allies.
SCOUTMASTERS' MEETING
The first monthly meeting of Har
risburg's Boy Scout troop masters
will be held this evening at the
Y. M. H. C. J. H. Stlne, scout ex
ecutive, will preside. Important mat
ters will be discussed at the session.
some simple harmless antl-acld
like bisurated magnesia which, in
stead of merely artificially digesting
the acid food, as do so many pep
sin pills and digestive aids, coun
teracts or changes the acid, soothes
and heals the sore inflamed stom
ach and permits normal healthy
digestion without pain or trouble ot
any kind.
I say bisurated magnesia because
I regard this as the best form in
which magnesia can be used for
stomach purposes. A few ounces
of the powder or a small package
of 6-grain tablets can be obtained
at G. A. Oorgas or any drus store
and will convert almost any stom
ach sufferer into forever discarding
all digestive aids and relying en
tirely on bisurated magnesia to
keep his stomach free from danger
ous gas and acids and the pains of
indigestion. Bisurated Magnesia is
not a laxative and may be freely
taken either before or after meals.
