Originally it was planned to take over the entire site, but so far only 114 of the 445 acres have been taken, and It is claimed that the other ground depreciated in value to I a certain extent because of tlie lay j ing out of the sites for the depots. I and Mrs. Arabella Rife, his wife, I owners of a large part of the I ground, said that they will accept ! $8,500 for the plot which they own. I This is a larger amount than the price fixed when an option was first secured by the Government. Jacob I Rife, owner of another tract, agreed [to accept $6,500, he testified, the ; price being the same as the amount ! fixed in the option. It developed during the Investiga tion that, while options were se cured on the properties, no further transactions occurred and some of the owners said that they did not know whether the tracts had been accepted and approved. Some of them also said they had received no rentals or other payments for the use of some of the ground, although depots had been constructed there. CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY Robert G.

DAILYHEALTHTALKS Better be Careful About Your Kidneys By N. B. COOK, M.D. Foods taken into the stomach go through various chemical changes, and some of these changes are poi sons that must be sifted out and disposed of. It ia, the duty of the kidneys to do thi* When the kid neys do not fully perform their vital work, death may be only a few hours away. Happily, Nature has provided warning alarms telling people when their kidneys are not well. These warnings come in the form of dragging pains in the small of the back, weak stomach, low spirits, chills, nausea, headache, scanty urine and frequent desire to pass it, short breath, numbness, cramps, coated tongue, bad breath, puffs under the eyes, thin blood, dry skin, ringing in the ears, spots be fore the eyes and many other symptoms. All come from the one cause of kidneys that are not fil tering the poisons out of the sys tem. To overcome these 'roubles. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. V., com pounded what he calls Anuric Tab lets. No' other kidney medicine Is its equal in giving relief and re establishing healthful work in the kidneys. The treatment is very simple, as you need nothing except water when taking Anuric Tablets— a glass of water with each tablet. This washes and flushes the kidneys while the medicine Itself Is dissolv ing the uric acid poisons and driv ing them out. Anuric Tablets are made double strength, so that they dissolve uric acid the same as hot water dissolves salt or sugar. Most people need Anuric Tablets because most people have uric acid. Better get that poison out of your body for safety's sake, and better begin to day. To gently and agreeably coax the bowels back Into normal activity, take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are just as good for costive ness as his Anuric Tablets are good for kidney disorders, and that Is saying a great deal. RAILROAD NEWS Plan to Shorten Hours at Freight Stations The plan of the Federal Railroad Administration to change the hours of the opening and closing Of tne freight stations was outlined to tne shippers and freight handlers or Philadelphia at an open meeting at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday by E. J. Cleave, terminal manager of the Philadelphia District. Cleave said that the administration planned to open the freight station, at 7:30 in the morning instead[ofat 7. and to close them an hour earlier in the evening than "t Present, at 5 instead of 6. He quoted show that the number of teams using the stations at the times when it is proposed to close them was less than 2 per cent, of the entire total num ber using them during the day. Several of the larger Arms of the city, who handle a great volume of freight, both going and eomlng. urc opposed to the change In working hours, as also Is the Team Owners Protective Association.

Both trucks are of the latest design, being re built from Butck trucks by tlio Penn sylvania. Both have a capacity of one and one-half tons. Railroad Police Are Preventing Disorder Pennsylvania Railroad police have been given much credit for the work they have performed In preventing rowdyism on railroad property In this city. These police, together with the military police stationed at the rail road station here, have been prac tically Idle for the past week. As a result of the military and civil authorities working together here, Harrstbnrg has been singularly free from disorder of any kind—a distinc tion held by few railroad division terminals in this section of the c°un try and this has been accomplished without force other than moral sua sion.

IS TO BE IMPROVED Plans Are Being Made to In crease Amount of Roll ing Stock Extensive plans are being made for the development of the Corn wall and Lebanon Railroad property by the Bethlehem Steel Company, which assumed control of the trans portation company property on Feb ruary 1 It is stated that the company will make extensive improvements and particularly in the rolling stock, so as to handle all the traffic that the new era of prosperity will bring when once the boom starts. John Wintersteen, the master mechanic of the road, has gone to Philadelphia, New York nnd Boston and although he was reticent as to hla mission, it is understood frofn other sources that he has gone to the Fore River Ship Building Cor poration plant in Massachusetts, for the purpose of looking over a num ber of locomotives which are no longer required there, and which are to be brought to Lebanon for Corn wall Railroad and general local use If they are found suitable for such service. Since the armistice was signed the Fore River Company, which is a Bethlehem Steel subsidiary, has been slacking up greatly, and much of the material and equipment at that point will be shipped to other Bethlehem Steel Company plants and Lebanon will share in the dis tribution. It is said that cars and other equipment will be added to the pres ent rolling stock of the Cornwall line, and an era of activity un known on the old line will be noted when American industry gets on the run again. The Bethlehem Company will transfer about six large locomotives from the Fore River plant to Leba non, and they will be housed in the remodeled round-house north of West Lebanon. The reasons for en larging the round-house and making extensive improvements there are now apparent In the light of the rolling stock additions that are about to be made. Trespassing on Middle Division Is Increasing After a lull of several weeks, tres passing by floaters on the Pennsy right of way has been resumed and railroad police officers made a num ber of arrests on the Middle division yesterday, which resulted in five men being sent to jail. The throwing out of employment of hundreds of men at large eastern plants until recently engaged on war work, has caused many of them to trave 1 westward. Most are penniless and the, floaters either steal rides on trains or travel the ties, subject ing themselves to arrest. Jacob Kelly, James Cusick, C. Carola and J. D. Gossard were the names given by four men nabbed at Altoona yesterday. They admitted their homes were "anywhere. Each was sentenced to ten days in the Blair county prison, when they were unable to pay the costs. Ray Fruin, an illegal train rider, also a floater, was committed to the same institu tion for twenty days. FRACTURES AXBLE John F. Reed, of Altoona, a Pennsy carpenter, had his right ankle fractured badly in two places yesterday morning when the floor of an elevator at the cab and pilot shop at Altoona, collapsed and a heavy machine fell on him. POWERS MAY MERGE TO CONTROL ACT [Continnod from First Page.] all claims and generally referring them to special or standing commit tees for thorough examination, al though this procedure, it is under stood. is not entirely agreeable to all the Powers interested. Secret treaties made under the stress of war and which may be con sidered out of harmony with the principles on which a Society of Na tions is being organized have pro voked a great deal of comment. The American delegates.k at least, have said that such agreements, in so far as they are in conflict with the prin ciples of a Society of Nations, must give way. RUNS Problem Up To-day The Russian problem again will come to the fore to-day in connec tion with the acceptance by the Moscow Bolshevik government of the invitation to the conference on the Princess Islands. In some quar ters the action of the Moscow gov ernment has been hailed with satis faction and relief in view of the promise it gives of an Immediate termination of Bolshevik attacks on the little Allied army in the Arch angel sector. Small crowds are beginning to gather around the Foreign Office, where the Supreme Council meets, but they do not disturb the experi enced diplomats, who say that what surprises them is that the proceed ings have been so remarkably har monious in view of the multiplicity and the complexity of questions. Hold Session Until Midnight The Society of Nations commis sion met again last night under the chairmanship of President Wilson, who is pressing forward to bring about a complete constitution for the society in these nightly sessions, which last until midnight. The great progress now being made indicates that the task may be completed within the next four or five days, or well ahead of the time for the return to the United States on February 15. The members of the commission emphasize, however, that the agree ments reached so far are provisional and in principle only. The entire structure may yet have to be re vived when it comes to agreeing on details. This Is the reason asMgned for the rigid secrecy with whKh the text of the project is being guarded. Wilson Presents Plan The main discussion last night was on the formation of the execu tive, of the Society of Na tions. President Wilson. Leon Bourgeois, For France, and Lord Robert Cecil each presented plans on N the representation given to smaller Powers. Each plan dif fered slightly. Unofficial information is that President Wilson's proposal was for An executive branch of Ave members from the great Powers and four members of the small Powers, TROOP MOVEMENTS TO U. S.

As Vinol had built up my son some time ago, I gave It to my daughter—she soon improved in health, and it has built her up and restored her health." —Mrs. N. Bumell.
