A SPOONFUL OF
SALTS RELIEVES .
ACHING KIONEYS
We eat too much meat, which!
clogs Kidneys, says
noted authority
If back hurts or Bladder bothers,
stop all meat for
a while
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been ,
eating too much meat, says a well- 1
known authority. Meat, forms uric!
acid which overworks the kidneys in !
their effort to filter it from the blood |
and they become sort of paralyzed i
and loggy. When ypur kidneys' get
sluggish and clog you must relieve :
them, like you relieve your bowels; !
removing ail the body's urinous i
waste, else you have backache, sick !
headache, dizzy spells: your stonuu h !
sours, tongue is coated, and when |
the weather is bad you have rheu
matic twinges. The urine is cloudy, |
full of sediment, channels often get j.
sore, water scalds and you are i
obliged to seek relief two or three j
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable !
physician at once or get from your j
pharmacist about four ounces of j
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a '
glass of water before breakfast for |
a few days and your kidneys will i
then act tine. This famous salts is |
made from the acid of grapes and I
lemon Juice, Combined with lithia. |
find has been used for generations to |
clean and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it 110 longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regu- j
lar meat eaters. It is inexpensive, |
cannot injure and makes a delight
ful. effervescent llthia-water drink. •

LABOR SCARCITY
GROWS SERIOUS
Tech Students Work Satur
days and Sundays at Enola;
More Men Badly Needed
With big cuts in their working
forces and more to come, according
to reports, the Pennsylvania railroad)
is .facing more trouble on account of^
lack of help. 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 .
The company has a bureau of em
ployment working day and night. At
all terminals there are Branch em
ployment bureaus. Frequently the lo
cal bureau has found 11, necessary to
seek the aid of an outside agency
in the effort to get men. The other
day an urgent, request came to se
cure two good men for clerical posi
tions in Pittsburgh. The salary of
fered was SBO per month for each.
This city was searched thoroughly
but no person could be found willing
to accept the position. It is said '.hat
many young men in Harrisburg who
[ work when they can get away from
! studies are making 30 and 35 cents
an hour. At intervals it is necessary
to take trainmen from their crews
and put them at yard service and
other duties.

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.

"Only those in constant touch with
sufferers from indigestion' and dys

lene by the improper use of artificial
ligestents or drugs like pepsin ot
?oda pills and tablets in the treatment
>t stomach trouble," declares a well
tnown physician.
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. Instead the
itomach should be given a magnesia
jath to clean out the aeias, sweeten
he food contents, soothe and allay
liliammation and irritation of the
ftomach walls and thus permit ti.e
normal healthy digestion of the food
You can give your acid inflamed
stomach no finer treatment than a
nagnesia bath. It Is simple, easy
ind pleasant to take, cannot injure
■he stomach and is not at all expen

ited Magnesia (either tablets or pow
jer) from G. A. Gorgas or any
iruggist, put a teaspoonful of
he powder or two tablets in
i glass of water and drink it
it every meal for a f-w days and
'our stomach will act and'feel fine It
nust be understood that I do not ad
vise the use of such forms of mag- j

PENROSE GOES
TO HUNT BEAR
Says tight Was Won by Town
Meeting Party; Battle Has
Only Been Inaugurated
"We lmve been doing some tall j
hunting In Philadelphia and We are j
going tip to Penn's Creek to hunt
bear," Bald United States Senator
Poles Penrose during a brief stop In
Harrisburg this afternoon on his way
from Philadelphia to Snyder county
by automobile. The Senator was ac- j
eompanied by Auditor General
Charles A. Snyder and Prothonotary
11. I''. Walton.
"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.
"Another gratifying feature was
the unanimity of the newspapers. 1
have been in politics in Philadelphia
for more than thirty years and novfr
saw them united as they are to-day.
And 1 never saw a greater unanimity
of sentiment among all elements in
the city.
