State government !
lendent George A. Shreiner, of the j
Board of Public Grounds and Build- i
ings, will make plans for arrange- I
raent of offices, estimate the cost of !
remodeling which will be done hy j
the owners, and gather such infor- j
mation as will be needed in making j
of the lease.
It has not been determined what
departments will be located in the |
building, but possibly some of those j
which will have to move because of 1
demolition of structures in Park Ex- j
tension, some of the smaller depart- I
ments in the Capitol such as Mines, j
Forestry and the like and others
which are scattered may bo assem- i
lde there. Superintendent Shriner ;
is still working on details of his j
scientific space plan for'the housing ]
of departments which will remain j
in the Capitol according to their '
needs.
The general idea is to have the j
departments move during the sum- |
mer if the changes can be made by |
that time.
The Hunter building, which will i
house the State Insurance Fund, j
will be ready in a month.
To Name Staff—Appointments of ;
a number of staff officers for the Re- j
serve Militia will probably be made j
by Governor Brumbaugh within the i
next week and the organization of I
the regimental staffs will be taken I
up immediately after. Reports com- j
ing here tell of rapid recruitment of
the companies and prospects are j
that several in eastern counties will j
be mustered in shortly. The Lock ■
Haven company will be mustered to
night.
State Does Well Pennsylvania
furnished seventy-six expert account
ants for the United States Army un
der the call for men specially quali
fied and voluntarily inducted into the
service. This number is higher than
called for. Inquiries have been
made at state draft headquarters re
garding occupational cards which
indicate that more men of special
training may be needed.

No More Liver Trouble;
Take Bliss Native Herb Tablets
"I suffered with Stomach and
Liver trouble for three years and
was under the care of two doctors
but they never gave me any relief.
Nearly two years ago I bought a
box of Bliss Native Herb Tablets
and they did me more good than
anything I ever tried. When I com
menced taking your tablets I was
in an awful run down condition and
couldn't eat a thing without it hurt
ing me. But thanks to Bliss Native
Herb Tablets, in a month I could do
my housework and eat most any
thing. It is a good family medicine.
I don't see how we could do with
out it. I am still taking them. I
weigh more than I ever did in my
life.

MUST DISPOSE OF
BOROUGH REFUSE
Borough Asks For Bids to Bc
move Garbage in
Steelton
In a statement this morning Steel
ton officials asked for bids for the
disposal of garbage in the borough.
At a joint meeting of the finance
and highway committees in the coun
cil chamber, latq yesterday ivfter
noon, it was decided to ask for bids
for t.he disposal of garbage alone.
This disposal of ashes _will be taken
up later.
Bidders are requested to have
their estimates in the office of Bor
ough Secretary Charles P. Feldt,
within five days. After the bids are
received it is likely a special meet
ing of council will be held to take
action on the proposition.
Immediate attention to the disposal
of refuse is needed councilmen say
as steel company officials have re
fused to allow the borough to dump
refuse on company property. Coun
cilmen claim that the disposal plan
is the only solution of the problem.
Developments of the last month in
dicate that the piggery plan will be
put into force. The problem is one
that needs careful consideration, an
official said to-day. The matter has
been talked of for several months but
not until the steel company issued
orders pronibiting dumping on its
premises was the proposition taken
up officially.
