Thousands? yes hundreds of thou sands of people throughout America are takingT the slow death treatment daily. They are murdering their own stomach, the best friend they have, and in their sublime ignorance they think they are putting aside the laws of nature. This is no sensational statement: It is a startling fact, the truth of which any honorable physician will not deny. These thousands of people are swallowing daily hnge quantities of pepsin and other strong digesters, made especially to digest the food in the stomach without any aid at all from the digestive membrane of the stomach. Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve distressed stomach in Ave minutes; they do more. Taken regularly for a few weeks they build up the run down stomach and make it strong enough to digest its own food. Then indigestion, belching, sour stomach and headache will go. Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by druggists everywhere and by H. C. Kennedy, who guarantees them.

He is chairman of the Red Cross war council and comes back to inaugurate the drive for 1100,000,000. "The outstanding feature of Ger man methods at the present time." he said, "is the effort to terrorize women, children and old men at home. While the German troops are making their drive on the front, air planes are bombing, nearly every night, towns behind the lines. "The purpose of the fight behind the lines is to break down the mor ale of the civilian population to such a point that they will impoVtune their governments for. peace. It is the most dastardly, unrighteous, cruel, devilish plan which would b'e conceived. "It is .based upon the theory that the killing of four' children out of five will induce the mother to im plore her government to have the war stopped that her fifth child may live. It is carried on from the Knglish channel to the Swiss border and from the Swiss border to the Adri atic and has resulted in the maim ing of thousands of women and chil dren and the driving .f. hundreds of thousands of terror-stricken from their homes to whenever they might seek refuge. "All of this is accompanied by the most active possible propaganda, es pecially in Italy, designed to deceive the people and to strike down their morale." >lr. Davison dencribel the attempt to uphold civilian morale us "one of the great missions of the Red Cross." Mr. Davison had personal experi ence with German ♦s'-rorizing of ci vilians from the air at night. lie was in a town in France when thir ty-seven people were killed and houses demolished by a German air plane which had stolen through a barrage and flew as low as 300 feet. American ambulance men busied themselves at rescue work and the airplane returned and bombed them. He regards the bombing of Paris by big Bins as part of the offensive of terror.

Belgium . now is starving and some of 'he ships supplying: the allies must be 1 diverted to carry relief. President ! Wilson was told yesterday by Food Administrator Hoover. Under the present plan of pooling the ships and the food supplies, Mr. Hoover said \ other countries are getting the food | and Belgium is being neglected. 500,000 MEN OVERSEAS, U. S. IS SANGUINE [Continued from First Page.] should definitely pledge itself to i deliver a specific number of men within a time limit. Many factors are involved in making such a cal culation months m advance. Secretary Baker would make no comment on the statement. Many weeks ago he told the Senate mili tary committee, however, that the go\ernment then had hdpes of get ting 1,50S,000 to the front during i the year. Since then his estimate j that 500,000 men would reach • France early in the year has been i fulfilled, and since then, also the German drive has changed the whole course of events and broughti about a speeding up of American! participation, which has already | shown results. The French article indicates thatl under the program a total of 2,000,-' 000 American troops'would reach' ; France during the year, 1,500,000j jot' which would be lighting units.i Whether that result can be obtained! depends on the shipping • situation. The men and the essential equip-' ment fqr them can be ready. Under the authority sought by! s President Wilson to organize as large j an Army as it is found possible to : train, equip and transport, it is known that officials expect at least 3,000,000 men to be under arms dur ing the next twelve months. Many believe that even a larger force, can be handled, as it now quite probable that a total of 4,000,000 during the year will be nearer the i mark. BAItRISIStmG SdHife TELEQK3CPH Bolt Talk Stirs Up ' Capitol Hill Folks Capitol Hill was discussing w.lth a good bit of interest to-day reports that in event of Joseph F. Guffey be ing nominated for the Democratic nomination for Governor that Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell would bolt and run Independently. The Judge's friends denied it, while Howard O. Holstein, running for Lieutenant- Governor, said that he intended to support the Democratic ticket as far as he felt just at this stage of the game. There has been a feeling on Capitol Hill that if the vote for the Repub lican nomination is close and Mr. O'Neil is defeated that he will run independently. Mr. O'Neil has re fused time and again to make any definite statement on the question. What is stirring up the Hill is what will be the attitude of the State Ad ministration in such an event and also what will happen to some of the Capitol people who have been per niciously active in behalf of O'Neil campaign funds and in "lining up" people for the Commissioner against personal preferences in event that Sproul is elected Governor. This has been an unhappy year for many people who are interested in politics at the Capitol and accounts in part for the activity of many of them in going home as soon as pos sible to get the lay of their districts. Harrisburg Soldier, Gassed in France, Home to Rest Gassed when the Germans at | tacked the base hospital to which he I was attached and suffering as well from shell shock, received while con fined in a dug-out for almost twenty four hours, during the same Hun 'attack, Arthur M. Eckert, the first j Harrisburg boy to be sent to the I United States to recuperate, is at the home of his Barents, Mr. and Mrs. j A. I. Eckert, 36 Balm street. I After the Hun attack in which he I sustained his injuries, Eckert spent 1 several weeks in a Paris hospital. I Then he was sent to the United j States to recuperate at the military I hospital at Lnkewood, N. J. In ad dition to he effects from the gas [attack and shell shock Young Eckert is also afflicted with a mild case of trench feet, suffered while in the first line trenches along the French battlefront. Youny Tckert, who is only nine teen years old, enlisted in Evacua tion Hospital No. 2, early last Sep tember. He was sent to Columbus Barracks, 0., for training, after which he was sent to Fort Benjamin Harrison, In<l. He went to France in September, where he was attached to his unit as a stretcher bearer. In this capacity he was serving at the time of the Hun attack. CIVII, WAR VETERAN IS PRO-GERMAN. SAYS WIFE Smith Center, Kan.—Rings in his ears apparently do not have a rings on his fingers and bells on his toes effect on John Pletcher. His wife says he is anything but joyous; on the contrary, that he is sour and mean and stingy, and, worse still. pro-German. She declares he would not permit her to have a fire in any room in, the house except the kitchen, even on the coldest days. Mrs. Pletcher has brought suit for a division of his property, con sisting of farm lands near here valu ed at $50,000. Pletcher, a Civil War veteran, seventy-five years old, has been a conspicuous figure in this vi cinity for nearly half a century. Be sides his brass earrings, one of his eccentricities is to wear a heavy cape the year 'round. CITY TO GO OVER TOP WITH THRIFT STAMPS [Continued from First Page.] commander, 2,710; miscellaneous, 13,709. Prayer at the luncheon, attended by 400 city workers as well as some prominent county workers, was made by the Rev. H. E. Hallman, pastor of the Emmanuel Presbyterian Church. War song Dedicated The music of the meeting, under the directio nof Prof. John W. El lenberger leader of the Grace Meth odist Episcopal Church choir and with the assistance of the choir, was of a high-grade character. A pro gram of patriotic songs, led by the choir, was rendered with several special songs by the choir. The feature ot the musical part of the program was the rendition by the Grace choir of a musical composi tion by Mrs. Phillips, wife of Prof. Phillips .composed this morning and dedicated to the cause of all war campaigns of Harrisburg and the nation at large. This composition, untitled as yet, sung by the tune of "When JwJinny Comes Marching Home" received tremendous applause from the committeemen. Short talks following the tasty luncheon were made by W. M. Don aldson, of Harrißburg, county chair man; by Flavel Wright, of Harris burg, who has charge of the work in the country districts ,and by Frank C. Sites, of Harrisburg chairman of the Harrisburg committee. Interesting Incidents Some interesting incidents, some of them teeming with patriotism and some of them decidedly disgusting in their nature, was reported by the several committees. One worker reported of one wom an with her husband serving with Uncle Sam's men in France, with her father dead less than two weeks and with two baby children at home, who works daily to keep her home together and who lias just received the first instalment in her husband's pay, patriotically subscribed for eight of the bonds. Another worker reported an inci dent just as pleasing in its nature. One woman, a widow of just a short time, decraring that she would go to New York City within the next several weeks to sell her wedding ring, with patriotic devotion to the cause for which the United States is fighting, subscribed for 120 of the bonds. But not all the reports were so pleasing in their nature. Chairman Sites reported that one worker had encountered one citizen who refused absolutely to subscribe, that he "had no money for such a cause and that he had no money for that sort of thing." Chairman Sites, while refusing to divulge the name of the person making this un patriotic remark, declared that he would be dealt with in the manner that the remark justified. Thunder ous applause greeted his declaration. Pupils Do Good Work Two thousand students of the Central and Technical High schools sallied forth to-dav, ringing the bell of every home in the city in a clean up campaign promoting the sale of the War Savings Stamps. Those Blue Devils of France did not create more enthusiasm in the interest of the war, than did the lads and las sies of the two high schools. The students scoured every nook and corner of the city, gleaning every promise that had not as yet been" taken. Early reports indicate that the finishing touches of the drive were entirely successful, and that the students are just as clever in pouring over the cjty as they are in pouring over their books. Students of Central canvassed the district west of the railroad and north of State street. They did their work this morning, and were at it early. 'Phe 800 Tech boys started out at 12.10 this afternoon, and cov ered that part of the city south of State street and east of the railroad. They were in squads of twenty-five, and were in charge of the teachers of the institution. Sections U and O of the senior class were in charge of Mr. McCunc. The other assign ments were: Mr. Nye, sections K and I.; Mr. Bowman, sections S and T. DEMOCRATS TO MEET Representative A. Ramsey S. Black and Dr. G. Willis Hartman, Democratic candidates for Assembly from the city district, will be guests of honor at a meeting of the Camp Curtin Demo cratic League at the league headquar ters, in Wood avenue, near Peffer street, at 8 o'clock this evening. Ad dresses will be delivered by H. H. Mer cer, of Mechanicsburg. Democratic candidate for Congress in this dis trict, and H. B. Saussaman. GERMANY HOLDS BACK ITS ATTACK [Continued from First Page.] struction of thirty-three allied air planes. After a battle with German air planes, British airmen on Thursday dropped bombs on Saarbrucken, German Lorraine, causing at least one fire. The British then attacked the German airplanes anew and de stroyed five of them while losing one of their own number. V. S. Artillery Active There has been no infantry activity except for patrol raids, on all the long fronts from the North sea to Switzerland, including the American sectors. American artillerymen in Picardy again have caused fires in Montdidier. Between Lake Garda and the Piava the Italian troops are giving the Austrians little rest. The success in gaining the summit of Monte Corno, south of Asiago, has been followed by an operation against Monte Asolone, just east of the Brenta. At two places the Austrian trenches were entered, the part of the garrison not killed or captured fleeing. Vienna says the Italian ac tivities spread to Monte Pertlca, east of Asolone. Both these heights are outposts of the formidable Monte Grappa. Along the front from the Stelvlo Pass to l.ake Garda enemy patrols have been repulsed by the Italians. Between I'iko Garda jind the Mrenta and on the Aslaso plateau the ar tillery fire has increased. U. S. To Build Plant For The Midvale Co.
