Why Nine People Out ol 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 u 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 "acidistomacn" should be neu tralized or sweetened daily with % Ever Gone Smoke-Hungry ? DO you know what it means to find yourself at the end of a good, hard day's work with nothing to smoke? You women-folk ask your men about that feeling. You men—remember the last time you were caught without the "makin's" or a grain of tobacco. < Now think of Uncle Sam's fighters in France, out there in the thick of things fighting your battles. You men and women of Harrisburg don't let them go smoke-hungry. They're lighting a good fight—see to it that they have at least this bit of comfort. Figure yourself, or someone you love, standing in a trench with death jufct around the corner most of the time, and then when relief comes, digging into the tobacco pouch and find it empty. This sort of thing will never happen if you come across promptly and gener ously to-day and send in your contribution (anything from a quarter up) to HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Campaign for "Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund" Army officers who know from actual experience how much tobacco can do to keep the fighting-man's spirit up—the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy—all endorse this fund. Arrangements have been made to buy the tobacco at cost, so that vour quarter will put forty-cents' worth of tobacco into the pouch of the man on the firinir line. A The distribution of the tobacco will be in competent and experienced hands. Every cent donated will go towards the purchase of smokes. Rent, postaecj salaries are contributed.

Lloyd Rec ommends Annexing Part of East Pennsboro Twp. Carlisle, Pa., Sept. 13.—1n a report presented to Judge Sadler, George E. Lloyd, appointed special auditor, recommends the annexation to the borough of Camp Hill of a big sec tion of East Pennsboro township and the payment of $2,575.08 to the bor ough from the township. This action came following the presentation of u petition by 135 citizens of Camp Hill asking for it. The entire matter will be placed in the hands of the Grand Jury at the October session of court, which opens October 1. and a general hearing will be held, following which Judge Sadler will act. The section included in the pro posed annexation includes a stretch from the present borough limits to tho plant of the Riverton Consoli dated Water Company. Gettysburg Auto Dealers Lose by Fire and Thieves Gettysburg, Pa., Sept. 13.—Oyler Brothers are getting their share of bad luck. Last Saturday morning their garage, with all its contents, was entirely destroyed by fire. Just before the fire they had received five new Overland cars from the factory and one of these went up in the flames. The other four were put in a storage house at their lime-kiln plant and during last night some one entered the place and stole one of the machines. some simple harmless anti-acid like bisurated magnesia which, in jtead 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 iigestion 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 5-grain tablets can be obtained at G. A Gorgas' or any drug store and will convert almost any stomach sufferer into forever discarding all digestive aids and relying entirely on bisu rated magnesia to keep his stomach free from dangerous gas and acids and the pains of indigestion. Bi surated Magnesia is not a laxative and may be freely taken either be fore or after meals. Selecting 78 Drafted Men For Cumberland Co.

LANCASTER WINS BACK SILVER CUP Annual Rotary Club Field Day at Paxtang Followed by Cornroast and Supper Lancaster Rotarians took back to the City ot the Red Rose last night the fiel day championship cup which Harrisburg won from Lancaster last year. The Lancastrians ran away with the athletic meet held at Pax tang Park yesterday afternoon, the other contestants being Harrisburg, York and Reading. The visitors mo tored to this city and after the ath letic events were treated to a corn roast and cupper at the large pavilion in the palrk. As the Rotarians entered the park they were met by P. G. Dneler, chair man of the entertainment committee, and dlrece to the shooting gallery and the skeeball alleys, where the first frienly contests took place. They went then to the baseball field back of the park, where a baseball game between Lancaster and Harrisburg took place. President Andrew E. Bu chanan was umpire and was scath ingly rebuke dby both grandstand and bleachers because he declined abso lutely to make every decision in favor of the home team. There were dark rumors about the grounds that he had been bribed by the visitors, a large cake of Lancaster county cheese having been found in one of his coat pockets shortly after the game was called. Lancaster won. cccf Only one untoward incident marked the game, and that occurred when John Musser tried to chase Captain George Lumb off first base at the point of a revolver and was arrested by two State policemen who wire on the grounds to preserve or der among the belligerent Rotarians. They let him go again whn it was found that his gun was loaded with blanks and after "Rufe" McCord ex plained that he never became violent twice on the same day. The Reading Rotarians- went clear to the bad in the contests, having been out to a dinner .the night before where the doctrines of the Hon. Herbie Hoover were absolutely ig nored, and still being somewhat the worse for their feasting. York also fell down on the job and the contests lay between Harrisburg and Lancas ter, but it may as well be stated that Harrisburg would have been white washed if it hadn't been for "Charley" 801 l and Dwight Raker, who showed fine form in ail events. "Bob" Lyon and "Charlie" Stevens showed up well at quoits but their scores did not figure in the final results. After it was all over, Scorekeeper Ralph Dow dell said he "be hanged if he knew who the winners were, but anyway Lancaster had the most points; so what was the difference?" At the dinner which followed. Pres ident Buchanan presided and present ed the silver cup to President S. R. Fralm, of the Lancaster club, who in turn presented Mr. Buchanan with an enormous red rose, the symbol of Lancaster, from the center of which flew two live pigeons, symbolic of Leslie Lldgen, president of Interna tional Rotary. Colonel John Damp man spoke for the Reading club and Vice-president John Rudisall for Y^rk.

It is that it takes six men at home to keep one soldier at tile front. The welfare of our soldier boys depends therefore upon how efficiently every man and woman in our great in dustrial army performs their duty. Two millions or more men taken out of the field of production means increased responsibility and mote energetic' application of those who must do the work of those who have gone to the colors. Shortage of help is prevalent everywhere. Banker, merchant, professional man, wage-earner and farmer must necessarily apply themselves with greater efficiency. Physical fitness and conservation of valuable time is therefore a prime consideration. Our place in the ranks is to supply the best food the market affords and properly prepare it. This is essential to physical fitness. Our self serve plan in the heart of Harrisburg's business sectioiv is assurance of the quickest possible service.
