ALBERT x„.^UIPS
National Vice-president, B. of I* F.
and E.
According to reports in railroad
circles to-day, one of the most im
portant brotherhood meetings in this
city in many months is scheduled for
to-morrow. The following notice has
been posted under data of Novem
ber 12:
"To the Officers and Members of !
William Morne Lodge No. 673 of the i
B. of L. F. and E.:
"Brother Albert Phillips, national
vice-president, will be at the regular
meeting of Lodge No. 673 on Sunday,
November 18. 1917. to conduct an in
vestigation of the appeals, and other
points at issue.
"It is the duty of "every brotherhood
man of this lodge if possible to at- j
tend this meeting, as the business to j
bo transacted is 'of vital importance j
to all members.
"A large attendance is the desire ot j
Brother Phillips.
"Do not fail to be there."
Member* Are Silent
Inquiries among the members as j
to the real reason for this meeting
failed to bring any official explana- !
tion. It was admitted that outside j
of a general discussion under "good
of the order," the wage question
would not be taken up. It was also I
said that recent expulsions and al- j
loged antagonism from a compensa- ]
tion fund organization wer,e to be
a part of the investigation.
One member said "that, according j
to the information he received the j
opposing organization recently al- |
tcred its constitution and that the |
change is working against the inter- j
efts of tlio Brotherhood of Firemen
and Enginemen." Some time ago a
committee went to Cleveland with
statements regard discord among lo
cal members, and Vice-president
Phillips was asked to come to this
city for an organization.
Asxiirc nig Crowd
He was here one week ago, but
due to the fact that the special meet w
ing had not been given wide pub
licity, only a /ew members attended.
The national official suggested that
a postponement be made at that time
and the investigation take place to
morrow. He will be here to-night,
'and it is understood a larger attend
ance has been assured.

iF KSQNEYB AND
BLADDER BOTHER)
Uric meat excites
Kidneys and irritates
the Bladder.
Take Salts at first sign of
Eladder weakness or
Kidney-Backache.
Kidney and Bladder weakness re-j
suit from uric ucld, says a noted au-I
thority. The kidneys tilter this aci.l;
lrom the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to
irritate and inflame, causing a ourn
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
un irritation at the neck of the blad
der, obliging you to seek relief two I
or three times during the night. The 1
sufferer is in constant dread, the wa-j
J,er passes sometimes with a scalding j
sensation and is very profuse; again!
there is ditticulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
It, because they can't control urlna-l
tion. While it Is extremely annoy-1
ing and sometimes very painful, this,
is really one of the most simple ail
ments to overcome. Get about four,
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar- ]
macist and take a tablespoonful In a j
glass of water before breakfast, cor;- !
iinue this for two or three davs.'
This will neutralize the acids in the I
urine so it no longer Is a source of i
Irritation to the bladder and urinary
organs which then act normally
again.
Jad Salts Is Inexpensive, harmless,
and Is made from the acid of grapes!
and lemon Juice, combined with
llthla, and is used by thousands of;
folks who are subject to urinary d!s- j
>rders caused by uric ucid irritation |
Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and I
causes no bad effects whatever.
Mere you have a pleasant, efferves
cent lithla-water drink which qulck
'y relieves bladder trouble.—Adv.

lieve Steelton Will Pass
SIO,OOO in Subscriptions
•Committeemen to-day in charge of
the Y. M. C. A. campaign were of
the belief that Steelton will more
than subscribe its share to the fund.
Yesterday it was believed that
Steelton would fall short in the close
of the campaign, but inasmuch as
many of the committeemen are hold
ing out until the last minute to run
the total up, this district is likely to
oversubscribe its share'.
Up until noon to-day $5,000 had
been reported. The quota is SO,OOO.
The amount reported up until last
evening was $4,300.
Not many reports of the work of
committeemen of the outlying dis
tricts have been made up' to this
time. These men are also believed
to be holding out until the final re
port.
One of the committeemen who
was prominent in the Liberty Loan
campaigns, said to-day that Judg
ing from these campaigns when the
district's allotment was almost
doubly'subscribed, this campaign will
not be a failure.
Committeemen in Oberlin, High
spire, Enhaut, Bressler and part of
Swatara township are doing splendid
work, according to reports.

Wrinkles Disappear
"As If By Magic"
"In the removal of wrinkles, I have
discarded cosmetics entirely," writes
Aline. Cor sail, the celebrated beauty
expert. "The results they produce are
deceptive and never permanent. Mas
saging is only partially successful and
it is too slow a method.
"I've never seen anything work
such wonders as a simple, harmless
solution any woman can prepare and
use at home without the least rouble.
A half pint of witcli hazel and an
ounce of good powdered saxolite are
all you'll need. Mix the two and ap
ply this refreshing solution to your
face daily. The effect is marvelous—
instantaneous. The skin becomes
firmer, 'tighter'—every wrinkle and
sag is affected. You feel so refreshed,
after using the wash; you look re
freshed, too; soon you will look ten
I years younger."—Advertisement.

The Only
Difference Between
the Things of the
Past and the Things
of Today
is in getting used to the
latter.
Whenever a new
thing is presented to
the public, a few people
"take to it" at once.
They are the people
who like the new
things—
or perhaps, they want
to be among the fi r st to
use them.
The general public,
in time, "takes up" the
new things.
The general public,
•you know, is a con
servative personage.
Sometimes, rather
modest, in "being in" as
it were!
But modern con
venience has become so „
popular among the
general public that the
