X TUESDAY EVENING, MAIL XMAS PARCELS EARLY ■ Post Office Wants Co-opera ; tion of Every Sender So Men Receive Packages on Time Recognising the unusual signifi cance of the coming Chrlstmastlde to the military, naval and civilian forces abroad, who -will undoubtedly be the | recipients of numerous gifts from friends and relatives at home, the Post Office Department has made special arrangements to effect timely deliverv of all Christmas parcels ad dressed to American expeditionary forces overseas. To do this, the Post Office Department must have the hearty co-operation of all mailers. In accordance with Section 469 of the Postal Laws and Regulations, each package must be opened and inspected and then marked "Inspect ed and Passed," also, the postmaster must attach his signature. Care must be taken so that these packages can be easily opened and bound again. Special attention should be given to the exclusion of intoxicants, poisons, explosives and improperly packed perishable matter prohibited by the Postal Laws and Regulations. Furthermore, it is important to know that Christmas parcels intend ed .for the soldiers, sailors and marines in France will be accepted only at the main post office and clas sified stations—the Hill station and Maclay street station. Parcels for foreign shores will not be accepted at contract stations, most of which are located In drugstores. To Make Preliminary Plans For Seal Sale I Members of the Christmas Seal Committee of Harrisburg's Red | Cross Chapter will meet at the home lof Mrs. William Hendarson, 25 North Front street Thursday even i ing. to outline the campaign for the !sale of antituberculosis seals.

COUNCIL PASSES BILL FOR DOUBLE TRACK [Continued from First Pages.] will be considered for doubletracklng th Walnut street bridge, and this, in all probability, will mean the erection of a new bridge. Passenger Accommodations The terminal building to be erected at Walnut and River streets, in ad dition to having the necessary track age for the big loop, will have ac commodations also for passengers, with entrances to the building in Walnut street and also In Strawberry street for persons going to Market Square to use Harrlsburg Railways lines. When the Valley company com pletes its work the city company wili have an opportunity to reroute all oars going north in Second street, relieving much of the traffic conges tion at Second and Walnut, Third and Walnut streets at the. Penn- Harris Hotel, and in Market street. Move For Pole Removal The first move for the elimination of the big poles in Walnut street, used by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company for long dis distance lines was taken to-day when Commissioner Lynch had a resolu tion passed authorizing the company to use the Bell Telephone conduits for underground cables. These will provide for the wires in the park ex tension zone, which must be remov ed. and also will mean the taking down of the eight feet poles in Wal nut street from the Pennsylvania railroad to the river. These two com panies have been working on this plan for many weeks in an effort to handle tho wires strung through the park zone and also to remove the tall poles in Walnut street. City Electri cian Clark E. Diebl has been largely interested in this work also, as he has other extensive plans in view which will mean the elimination ot" many miles of overhead wiring and scores of large poles. Riverside to Get Lights Commissioner Lynch also intro duced an ordinance to-day providing for the placing of twenty-one lights in Riverside —the Fourteenth ward. These lights have already been placed and were maintained by a private subscription paid by Riverside resi dents prior to the annexation of that territory to the city. It was decided for the present not to remove the lights and to pay for their main tenance for the remainder of the year. Tho ordinance appropriates $lO5 for this. , Commissioner Gross aske;J coun cil's permission to sell an old chem ical wagon In storage at the Allison Work on Addition to Olivet Church Will Be Started Next Week At a meeting of the members of the Olivet Presbyterian Church Derry and Kittatiny streets, It was unanimously decided to build an ad dition to the church.

Ninety per cent, of all digestive disorders are cajised by "too much acid" in the stomach. While nature provides hydrochloric acid as one of the digestive fluids, a great many stomachs develop too much acid which irritates and inflames the stomach walls, causing partially digested food to sour and ferment and develop gas, .bloat,' nausea, heartburn and painful digestion. It is a mistake to treat such troubles with artificial digestants like pepsin. This merely forces the sour, acid stomach eontentf into the intestines. Instead the acid in the stomach should be neutralized with an internal Mag nesia bath. Get a bottle of Bisurated Mag- * Better nerves—better health. For the run-down, tired, weak and worn. HYPOFERRIN Tablets furnish the nerve food that Nature has denied you. A single day's treatment often produces remarkable results.—sl.oo per package.
