Outside of the clerical | departments men are needed in every I branch. Shop and roundhouse forces] are inadequate to take care of the, work. Brakemen are scarce. Not-i withstanding the fact thut'scouts are 1 traveling all over the United States j in search of help, a scarcity prevails j that is causing officials no little wor | riment. In this city men are being hired regardless of age. Every plan pos sible is being worked out to get help. Over at Enola every Satur day and Sunday a small army of Tech High school boys are employed. Their studies do not permit them to do daily work. The Pennsy officials are glad to get their help on Satur days and Sundays. The students are glad to earn the money. Employment Bureaus .

CUT THIS OUT 0.1.D RXGI.INH HECIPK FOK CV- T A HIIII, < ATA HUH Al, DEAF MOSS AND HEAD NOISES If you know, someone who is troubled with head noises, or Catar rhal Deafness, cut out this formula, and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf ness. We believe that Catarrh, Ca tarrhal Deafness, head,noises, etc., are caused by constitutional disease, and that salves, sprays, inhalers, etc., merely temporize with the complaint and seldom, if ever effect a permanent cure. This being so, much time has been spent in perfecting a cure, gentle, yet effective tonic that should quickly dispel all traces of the ca tarrhal poison from the system. The effective prescription which was even tually formulated is given below in an i understandable form so that anyone I can use it in their own home at little expense. Secure from your druggist 1 or.. [Parmint (Double Strength). Take this home and add to it >i pint of hot water and 4 oz. of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one table spoonful four times a day. The first dose should begin to re lieve the distressing head noises headache, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc., while the hearing should rapidlv return as the system is invigorated by the tonic action of the treatment. Doss of smell and mucus dropping in the back of the throat are other symptoms that show the presence of catarrhal poison, and which are often overcome by this efficacious treat ment. If nearly ninety per cent, of all ear troubles are directly caused by catarrh, there must be many peo ple whose hearing may be restored by this simple home treatment. Every person who is troubled with head noises, catarrhal deafness, or ca- I tarrh in any form, should give this prescription a trial.—Advertisement. j Magnesia Baths For Indigestion |l>nrlr Recontmrndti Tlicm in rinee < of Drug*.

In fully nine cases out of ten di gestive trouble is caused by an excess >f hydrochloric acid in tne stomach ■vhich sours and ferments the food •ieating gas on the stomach and often :ausing intense pain or burning. The forcing of food from stomach to intestines with artificial digest :nts in such a case is almost criminal oily as serious intestinal indigestion nay very easily follow.

"There's no question who was I elected in Philadelphia," said the Senator, when asked about the Phil adelphia situation. "The Town Meet ing ticket was elected and when the soldiers' votes are in it will be seen thai it wins by a handsome majority. I am informed that a contest is to be started to have the votes belong ing to the Town Meeting party given to it. "The face of the returns show the desperate methods used to defeat the Town Meeting ticket and I guess by this time everyone knows why the attacks were made on nomination pa pers in the courts.
