A Dead Stomach
Of What Use Is It?
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.

mile tour of inspection of Red Cross
work abroad. 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.

Under the authority sought by!

known that officials expect at least
3,000,000 men to be under arms dur

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

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

in September, where he was attached
to his unit as a stretcher bearer.
In this capacity he was serving at the

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

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.

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.
