Take a Sunshine Tablet for Thy Stomach's Sake There never was such a marvelous i prescription for stomach distress and j Indigestion as Mi-o-na. No doctor ever wrote a better one;| It's doubtful if any doctor ever will, i It's so good that H. C. Kennedy says money back if it doesn't relieve. A woman in Maine calls Mi-o-na the sunshine prescription because she has seen so many sour, miserable, ag gravating dyspeptics turned into happy, cheerful, sweet human beings in a few days by taking Mi-o-na. The stomach is responsible for I three-fourths of the nervousness and I half the misery of the world. A wo man can have a first-class stomach and yet be miserable if she has a hus band who is a nervous dyspeptic. If you have indigestion, belching of j gas, heaviness after eating, drowsy i sensation after eating, sour stomach I or any miserable stomach disturb- 1 ance the prescription called Mi-o-na | will put you right, and bring sunshine 1 Into your life In a week. A large box of Mi-o-na tablets cost I only 60 cents at H. C. Kennedy's and I by leading druggists everywhere, j They are small and easy to swallow.— Advertisement. p \ Keeney's Flower Shop Formerly Miss M. 31. Bacr Cut Flowers—Funeral Work I 157 N. Front St., Steelton I I fresh Beef Travels I I on a Rapid Schedule I Fresh beef for domestic markets goes I from stockyards to retail stores within |i a pferiod of about two weeks. Although chilled, this meat is not frozen; hence it cannot be stored for a rise in price. A steer is dressed usually within St twenty-four hours after purchase by J the packer. The beef is held in a cooler j| at the packing house, at a temperature a little above freezing, for about three days. | It is then loaded into a refrigerator |JI car, where a similar temperature is maintained, and is in transit to market on an average of about six days. Upon arrival at the branch distrib uting house, it is unloaded into a "cooler", and placed on sale. Swift & Company requires all beef to be sold during the week of arrival, and ' the average of sales is within five days. | Any delay along the above journey 11 means deterioration in the meat and loss to the packer.

HARRISBURG TEI.EGRAPH RAILROAD RUMBLES ■ > tnnruTj~uTj~t_ri_rLrii"_~_i~ niVinfV SHOPMEN IDLE; WORK TIES UP Officers at Altoona Are Not Pleased With Action of Men; Tieup Costly Failure on the part of the shopmen at Altoona to return to work on the second day after the celebration of the big victory of the Allies, may bring a change in handling repairs by the Pennsy. There are at present between 7,000 and 8,000 cars await ing repairs in the vicinity of Altoona. Sidings along the Middle division are also filled. As one official put it, "Just now it is necessary that every car available be in service." For this reason repair shops in Harrisburg, Altoona and elsewhere are working full time and ! frequently overtime. At Altoona last Friday everybody took a day oft to celebrate. No objections were made, and railroad officials looked for a resumption of work on the second day. When only a few men turned up, therS was a hasty call sent out, but the men would not return to work taking a second day off. The Altoona Mirror says: Work Is Suspended "Laying aside their work to take part in the big celebration of the vic tory of American arms in France, the great majority of the Pennsylva nia railroad shopmen in Altoona de cided to make it a-two days' vacation and very few of them reported for duty in the respective departments on the following day. As a result, with the exception of the engine houses and some car repair depart ments, operation was suspended un til yesterday. Those who did report for duty were in most cases sent home. "At the offices of the company the information was given out that there are 7.500 shopped cars on the Eastern Pennsylvania grand division, requiring repairs at this time. Usual ly there are not more than 3,000 or 3,500 at one time. "This fact alone points to the necessity of the inen working full time in the departments affected by this wotk. But this is only part of the story. These cars are not only out of service, but they are occupying track,space and helping to cause the congestion which, if not acute at this time, will follow when cold weather comes," one official said. IJOSS of Time Costly "Every day that the shops are closed down means that much of a drop in coal mining. The loss in ton nage by reason of car shortage has ranged from 35,000 to 50,000 tons a week all summer in tho Central Pennsylvania field alone. "In view of all these conditions the local officials hope that there will be a full complement of men on the job on Monday morning and that there will be more layoffs for trivial rea sons. One of the high local officials said this morning that the men can give no (better evidence of their de sire to back up the fighting Sammees at the front than by working reg ularly every day at their tasks in the shops." The same official also pointed out that there Is a lot at stake for Al toona just now. "The government is running the railroads now," said he, "and if it cannot get its work done here, it will most certainly take it where it can have It done." To Consolidate Business of Pennsy and Reading A meeting of railroad officials of the Reading and Pennsylvania com panies was held yesterday at Potts ville. The object of the gathering was discussing the question of con solidating the stations at Pottsville and St. Clair.

COMBINE PATRIOTISM WITH PLEASURE BY PRESERVING __ Making Jam Helps Unda Sam Now that preserving fruits and berries is entirely safe from the danger of waste in spoilage, it is the pleasant but no less patriotic duty of every house- H wife to put up all the jams, jellies 7 and preserves she Vrrpossibly can. This a \ releases tons of gT.v7 Vpb valuable foodstuffs n N - for our allies. Why "safe," you ask? Because today the value of sterilization and Parowaxing understood. Formerly housewives hesitated about preserving too much, par ticularly if the "cold pack" method was usqfi, for fear some j of the good things would spoil ' in time. But today, ! withspickandspan t— glasses and jars, / sealed air-tight.( fT |jf) | with clean, pure ; Parowax, that dan- . ger is .removed. f U 4 - Even "cold pack" preserves are completely protected against deterioration when the jar-tops are dipped in Parowax.
