Coffeeless Meals Face Careless Soldiers at Camp Hancock, Ga. Camp Hancock, Ga. —Meals minus coffee for an indefinite period will be the fate in store for all Pennsylvania soldiers, at Camp Hancock should they be indiscreet enough to wash mess kits in the beverage. Such was the caution expressed in a memoran dum issued yesterday from division headquarters which calls attention of officers in charge of company and regimental mess to the instructions and advice of the nutrition commis sion which has just completed work at the camp. The commission rec ommended certain economies. Bread should be sliced thin, and the men should take but one slice at a time. Potatoes should be cooked before peelfng. They should be thorough ly washed and palatably prepared. While meat should not be boned, all bones as far as possible should be conserved for the making of soup. Vegetables should also be saved as far as possible.

MIDDLETOWN SITE HAS BEEN SELECTED [Continued from First I'ngv.] Department to proceed With the con struction of warehouses at Middle town on property leased and ulti mately purchased from the Keystone State Fair and Exposition Company." Just how extensive t'.ie develop ment is to be General Goethals did not say, but representatives of con tractors who \yere in town to-day said that the warehouses contemplat ed will cover at least 400 acres. Gen eral Goethals is careful to state that no such portions of the land as are unsuitable for warehouse purposes is to be taken over by the Government. The Chamber's Part It was in the interest of placing these warehouses at Middletown that President Andrew S. Patterson and other representatives of the Harris burg . Chamber of Commerce visited Washington several weeks ago. They contended that the Middletown site was ample for the purposes of the Ordnance Department development and that there is plenty of land well out of flood danger at that point. They expressed the belief that the Middletown site would be the cheaper and better in the long run for the reason that it has better railroad yard facilities, better trolley connec tions. good road connections with Harrisburg and electric, telephone and other improvements ready at hand. At that time there was no thought of. a quartermaster's depot for Har risburg. at least so far as public no tice had been given, but when this great development was announced it became apparent that the ground at Middletown would not be sufficient, and the committee entered no protest against the New Cumberland site, which it was recognized would be quite as advantageous for Harris burg as that at Middletown. ' That their estimate of the cost ot improving and draining the New Cumberland site was accurate, how ever, is shown by plans now being made to sewer the recently-acquired New Cumberland ground, which will cost much more per acre than that at Middletown. engineers say. I'ralse For New Cumberland New Cumberland people are coming loyally to the assistance of the Gov ernment. Committees are at work preparing to help house the officers and workmen who will want to find quarters there and the public serv ice across the river have been asked to give whatever assistance is necessary. Army officers have been high In their praise of the patriotic efforts of New Cumberland to meet the problems the big development there has thrown'upon the commun ity. Contractors say that even under rush orders the quartermaster's de pot on the West Shore cannot be fully completed Inside of eight months and officers here for the aviation enlargement at Middletown predict that the work already out lined there will require at least that long. Arrfong the Middletown im provements will be a hospital for the flse of the entire military establish ment in this district. B'"ack to Build Ordnance Word reached Harrisburg this aft ernoon that James Black, at first recommended for the aviation con tract, has been awarded contract for the ordnance warehouses. Wells Brothers, of Chicago, will build the aviation depot. Mr. Black has opened offices In the Arcade Building and the Wells interests are looking about for quarters. The contract for the quartermaster's warehouses, which are to be built at New Cumberland, has not yet been let but will be in 1 a few days. It is understood that i the ordnance depots will be started first and that preparations for the erection of buildings at New Cum berland will be started in the next few days. The first work at both places will be the construction of the necessary railroad yardage and con nections and the Government agents to-day started men to work hiring for this purpose. It is understood that the Government will send more than 2,000 men here in a short time, as soon as the necessary temporary barracks can be erected for them. Some millions of feet of lumber have been ( ordered for this purpose, some of which already has been delivered. The entire brick supply of the neighborhood has been taken up by the Government and immense quan tities of crushed stone and sand have been purchased. "This development gets bigger and bigger the more I consider it," said one bidder to-day, after an interview with the officers in charge. "If It were not the Government which is making the plans and that conserva tive men are doing the buying I would have grave doubts as to the accuracy of the estimates. But I know from what I have seen that they are very much in earnest and that Harrisburg is due for the big gest development in its history." j —. What Women In Their "Forties" Need BY A SPECIALIST J Many women approach the critical changing period of their lives that comes between the ages of forty and fifty, unmindful of its tremendous importance to their future health and happiness.

No Medicine- Chest Without . Its Family Laxative ■ From the baby to the grandparent* a good laxative is the • , necessary medic in# in the little ills. It ward* off serious sickness and saves doctor's bills. Many a cold has been pre- , vented from tunning into grippe and pneumonia by its timely s. use. Many a racking headache has been quickly dispelled by it. And it is a laxative rather than a drastic cathartic or purgative that should be in every family medicine-chest, for a laxative can be used at all ages. Thousands of good American families have for more thaa * a quarter century used a combination of simple laxative herbs vrith pepsin known to druggists as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is a laxative-tonic that acts on the bowels and stomach. Infants take it with perfect safety, and it is equally effective for grownups. Grandparents are now seeing their children give it to their babies.
