WEST SHORE NEWS ANNEXATION WITH HARRISBURG OR SEPARATE WEST SHORE CITY? Important Questions Considered At Big Mass Meeting of People From Five Boroughs and One Town ship At Wormleysburg Town Hall Whether the West Shore is to be- cheaper water and better streets. Whether the West Shore is to be come part of Harrisburg or consoli date into a third-class city of its own Is the question now before almost every voting citizen of that district. A well-attended meeting of people from the 'cross-river towns was held last evening in the Wormleysburg town hall. This meeting was called by the West Shore firemen s Lnion and was presided over by J. lied Hummel president of the union. Ar thur Rupley, of Carlisie. former con gressman. was the principal speaker. It Is the hope of the firemen s union that the question can be submitted to the voters of the district at the No vember election. The outcome of the meeting last night was to decide on other meetings in the various towns of the West Shore. The next meeting will be held at Lemoyne at a date to be announced later. A committee was appointed to gather data concerning the relative valuations on property, the relative taxation rates and other important matter of interest to the public. On this committee the following men were appointed; L*. L. Hamacher, Le moyfiC chairman; Thomas H. Matter ness, Knola; the Rev. A. R. Ayres, New Cumberland: Edward Bauni. Wormleysburg. Other men will be appointed to this committee by Mr. Hummel. All exponents of the move are sure that if the West Shore becomes part of the Capital city it will secure free mail service, better police protection, lewer insurance rates, better schools, MBS.

In his address last night, Mr. Rup : ley said that by annexing to Harris ; burg they would become better citi zens and the expenses would be less ened per capita. In the smaller dis tricts a very low percentage of the voting population cast ballots, but if they become a part of Harrisburg the responsibility of voting would place a heavier burden on the voters and j they would go to the polls and do their duty to their community. In further speaking of the move, Mr. Rupley said that the question came up sooner than he expected and warned against letting it die out. It may take several years before the dream of the far-sighted citizens of the West 1 Shore is realized, but it is sure to come. If the West Shore towns do not annex themselves with the city I they should at least consolidate in ! their one common cause and form a j city of their own, which would sooner | or later become part of greater Har risburg.

These are contained in the various manuals and regulations of the United States Army, to which this Course is merely introductory. I.ESSON NO. 8 MARCHING AND CARE OF FEET (Preceding Lessons: 1 Your Post of Honor. 2. Making Good as a Sol dier. 3. Nine Qualities of a Sol dier. 4. Getting Ready for Camp. 5. First Days in Cams, 6. Cleanli ness in Camp. 7. Your Health.) new soldier seldom under stands how important it is for him to learn to march and to develop his muscles so that he. can easily carrv his arms and euipqment. "Marching constitutes the principal occupation ?-, f •K ro ? ps in campaign." (Infantry . ri i Regulations, paragraph 623.) Modern trench warfare in Europe has for the time being reduced the amount of marching required in campaign; yet it remains just as im portant an element in the soldier's training as it ever was. In ordef to march for long dis tances the soldier's feet must be in good condition. As has been aptly remarked, "the infantryman's feet are his means of transportation." Special attention should be paid to fitting of shoes and the care of the feet. Marching shoes should be quite a little larger than shoes for ordinary wear. "Sores and blisters on the feet should be promptly dressed during halts. At the end of the march feet should be bathed and dressed; the socks, and if prac tical the shoes should be changed." (Infantry Drill Regulations, para graph 627.) You will learn in time the prac tical rules for taking: care of your feet that are followed by experienced soldiers. You will avoid considerable discomfort, however, if you learn some of these rules now and put them into practice from the very beginning: 1. See that your shoes are large enough. They will at first look and feel unnecessarily loose. This Is needed because it has been found that feet swell and lengthen on marches, especially when carrying packs. But shoes fitted this way will give you no corns, bunions, blisters, of other foot ills. In fact, they will cure any that you may already'have. 2. Take pains to keep your shoes in good condition. It is a good idea to apply a light coat of neat's-foot oil, which will both soften the leather and tend to make them waterproof. Don't neglect to smooth out wrinkles in the lining of the shoe. "Break in" new shoes before wearing them on long marches. 3. Wear light woolen socks, such as will be issued to you. See that you have no holes or wrinkles in them. If a hole has been worn and can not be mended at once, change the sock from one foot to the other so that your foot will not be Irri tated more than is necessary. 4. Keep your feet, socks and shoes clean. When on the march try to wash your socks at night and put on a clean pair every morning. Bathe the feet every evening, or at least wipe them off with a wet towel 5. Keep your feet scrupulously clean. A foot bath can be taken, when other facilities are not at hand, by scraping a small depression in the ground, throwing a poncho over it and pouring water into this from your canteen. Even a pint of water will do for a foot bath. You can bathe all over by making or finding a depression of suitable size and using your poncho as for a foot bath. 6. Keep your toe nails trimmed closely and cut them square across the ends. This will tend to prevent ingrowing nails.. By all means avoid the common error of rounding the corners of the nail and cutting It to a point in the center. 7. In case a blister is formed while on the march, open the edge of the blister with the point of a knife or i a needle that has been heated in a! match flame. Be sure to squeeze all 1 the fluid out of the blister. To leave any in it may make it worse. Do not pull oft. the loose skin but press it back. Tnen put on an adhesive plas ter, covering the skin well beyond j the edges of the blister, putting It | on as tightly as possible without wrinkles. In the same way put an I adhesive plaster over any red or ten-1 der spots. 8. In case any tendons become in 7and 9 LIVINGSTON'S, 10 Market Manufacturers' Clearance of Samples Uurt S( i uare [New Fall Models] DRESSES I Brand New Styles) Street J *• * A FOUR DAYS ONLY || FOUR DAYS ONLY Wednesday, Thursday, f**-- Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday Mil fflflHly Friday Saturday Silks,Satins,Taffeta, 'f ill er y Newest Crepe de Chine, jj Ulir' 1.1 -Creations For Crepe de Meteor, Etc.

Ybu should report to a. medical officer at your first oppor tunity to make sure that the trouble does not grow worse. One sign of a green soldier is his tendency to drink too much water while on a long march. The experi enced man gargles his mouth and tliroat once in a while, but drinks only in sips and does not overload his stomach with either water or food. After you have arrived in camp and have cooled off you can drink slowly as much as you desire. It is, o ' Col j rse ' unwise to eat fruits, candy, soft drinks, ice cream and the like while on the march. Another sign of a green soldier is a carelessly adjusted pack or any other equipment not neatly and se curely fastened. Your comfort on the march depends very largely on the care and Judgment used in get ting ready. Al! your equipment has been so designed that it need not interfere with the free movement of your arms and legs. Your pack should be strapped to your back in such a way that you can stand erect and breathe freely. There should be no pressure on any of the soft parts of the body. You will march most easily if you keep your body erect and do not permit yourself to slouch or sway from side to side. When the command is given to halt and fall out for a few minutes loosen your pack and rest back on it in a sitting and lying position. If possible, lie with your feet higher than the head, so as to let the blood flow out of the legs into the bodv and rest your heart. During the first few halts you may not feel tired, but rest as completely as you can any way. Look forward to the end of the march and try to handle yourself so that you will be strong and fresh at the finish. At the first halt it is well to re adjust the pack or any part of the equipment not entirely comfortable. If your shoes or leggings are laced too tightly, this is the time to loosen them. A cheerful attitude is one of the best aids to a soldier on a trying march. Singing and, whistling on the march is usually not only allowed but encouraged. They help wonder fully to make the long road seem shorter. These are all very simple rules, but none the less important. Keep them in mind. Some men never learn ex cept from their own hard experi ence; but it is expected of the men in the National Army that they will have the good sense tb see the value of these suggestions and to apply them from the very beginning.

AUGUST 21, 1917.* AVIATION SCHOOL WILL REQUIRE MANY ACRES Much Land Needed For Site of War Flying School The Chamber of Commerce, at the request of the War Department, Is un able to-day to give further details of the location of the Government avia tion training school here for war flyers. As soon as the War Department completes all details of taking over the site complete announcement will be made. As the Harrisburg aviation school will be one of the six maintained by the Government, the size of the field will contain several hundred acres. Thousands of aviators and mechanics will be in training for the period of the war. They will be brought to the base as soon as it has been completed. Once the Government starts work on the project it will start with a rush. Hundreds of laborers and teams, augmented by steam shovels, will be gin work on placing the Held in con dition for flying. Nothing has been intimated as to the cost of building I the flying school or the number of [ machines to be stationed here. It is believed by army recruiting] officers of the Harrisburg district that j if recruits enlisting in this district i are sent to the local school for train- | ing many young men will be attract ed to this branch of the service.

"Everything I Eat Turns to Gas- Stomach On Fire With Indigestion!" Simple Ant-Acid Taken With Meals Prevents Gas, Bloating, Belching, Heartburn, Sour Stomach and Acid Indigestion. Eat Freely Without Fear. No More Diet. People who have "stomach trouble" and who suffer after nearly every ineai from sour, acid, gassy stomach, bloating, heart burn and indigestion should Just try taking a couple of 5-grain bisurated magnesia tablets after their meals for a while and note results. Medical men made a most im portant discovery in the treatment of stomach troubles when they found that practically every case of indigestion and dyspepsia was caused by the presence in the stomach of "too much acid." By using ordinary bisurated magr.esia to neutralize this acid and sweeten the stomach the food digested na turally without causing trouble and digestive aids, like pepsin, etc., were no longer necessary. Bisurated Magnesia is a special form of refined magnesia whicn you should be most careful to in Application For Weaver Receivership Withdrawn Upon agreement of the parties l concerned the application for the ap pointment of a Receiver for the Wea ver Confectionery Store, North Sec ond street, was withdrawn in Dau phin county court to-day.

It docs not digest food like pepsin but instead neutralizes or transforms the poisonous biting acid that has formed in your stom ach and is causing you misery. Your digestive machinery, relieved of the hampering acid accumula tion does its work without trouble. So remarkable is the action of bisurated magnesia in stopping stomach distress that as a rule the worst pain, burning or sour sensa tion will vanish within five minutes from the time it reaches the stom ach. Any dyspeptic or stomach sufferer can prove this easily with a single trial and with perfect safety as bisurated magnesia is harmless and in this form is not a ! laxative.
