Women Find Clear Skin
In Simple Laxative
A tease of false modesty often prevents women from
admitting that many of her ills and disorders are due primarily
to constipation.
But women who'know themselves have learned that head
ache remedies and beautificrs only .cover the trouble but do
net .dislodge it.
What is needed is a remedy to move the bowels and stir
np the torpid liver. An ever-increasing number of sensible
, women take a small dose of a combination of simple laxative
herbs with.pepsin known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and
•old by druggists under that name. -
It will save a woman from the habitual use of headache
remedies, skin lotions and similar makeshifts. Once the
bowels are emptied and regulated, the headache and the
pimples and blotches disappear. It is the rational natural
method.
_ Syrup Pepsin lasts a family a long time, and
an will find use for it from time to time. Thoughtful people
arc never without it in the house.
The druggist will refund your money if it tmila
to do me promised.

MILLIONS FOR
ROAD BUILDING
Delegations Tender Commis
sioner Sadler Money for
Lateral Roards
Representatives of six counties i
pledged millions of dollars tcf the
State Highway Department for the
construction of roads in co-operation
with the State at a series of con-1
ferences with Highway Commissioner
Lewis S. Sadler that lasted for almost
seven hours yesterday. Since the
first of the month between $12,000,-
000 and $15,000,000 has been prom
ised by counties for construction of
secondary highways, while the state
is building the primary system.
Mercer county people who were
here in two big delegations said that
they would endeavor to secure a
road loan of $ SO.OOO. Beaver has
already pledged close to a million and
Warren $750,000. Bedford countians
said that they thought they could
get $250,000.
"Put your elections on a good road
basis and have your county commis
sioners elected for 'better highways'
because I am sure the people will
be for the officials who want to help
pull the State out of the mud" said
the commissioner.
"The State intends to build be
ween 550 and 600 miles of primary
highway before next fall and we will
let some contracts before long. Soi%e
may be let In forty live days. These
ronds will be built for keeps. In four
years we will spend about $125,000,-'
000 for roads in this State and we in
tend to get value. First we will have
to get the weight limits settled."
Mercer county people made the
biggest showing today. One delega
tion represented that the Shenango
valley wanted the road from New
Wilmington to points a mile, east of
Sharon and then to Greenville instead
of through Mercer. The qther favor
ed the Mercer route. The commis
sioner told them to get together
which they did on the Shenango val
ley proposition. This will take $400,-
000 which Mercer county can issue
without an election and a like sum
which it is believed will be voted. It
was also agreed that rotite 73 should
become part of the system Vnd part
of this road running northwest from
the Butler line will be built this year.
The effect will be to have the main
route pass close to Sharon and Far
rell and they will have spurs to the
artery. Fred T. Fruit, who was one
of the speakers, said that the agree
ment would give Mercer five high
ways into Ohio and that he fslt sure
the plan would be generally fkvored.
Centre and Bradford delegations
asked about the plans for construc
tion in detail and will go home to
consult with their people. Repre
sentative E. R. Smith introduced
County Commissioners Nevin Diehl.
M. Leighton and T. C. Bradley, of
Bedford, whe were accompanied by
citizens from Everett and other
places and they agreed to match the
State expenditures.
Adams and York county delega
tions asked that there be an early
start in the East Berlin-Dillsburg
road as a link in the Harrisburg to
Baltimore highway and as a market
road, but were informed that it
would be up to the counties to build.
The State, said Mr. Sadler, would
maintain it if 1 a right kind of a bot
tom was put on it. He cautioned
' the delegation to see that construc
tion would stand winter, was donne.
Franklin county people asked that
there be arrangement for work soon
on the road from Waynesboro to Mc-
Connelsburg byway of Greencastle.
A promise of fifty fifty work on the
Pittston-Tunkhannock section was
made by a delegation from West
Pittston. •

eliminated in the House, which ap
proved an army of only 175,000 men.

same basis as the war scale. It plans
to report the bill to-morrow to the

Lively Debate Over Measure
to Require Annual License
For Guns
The Neary "Are arms" bill re
quiring all owners of revolvers and
similar weapons to take out an an
nual license at -the sheriff's office
with two sureties was defeated in the
House last night receiving 76 votes
while 104 were cast against it. The
bill was debated for 40 minutes.
Mr. Bald ridge, Allegheny, attacked
the ananual license feature as hin
dersome and that householders we're
entitled to weapons for protection
to which Mr. Wells, Philadelphia re
plied that foreigners and others were
carrying guns and holding up people
in his city. The bill he held, would
curb them. Mr. Showalter, Union,
doubted the constitutionality of the
bill.
Mr. Bennett, Philadelphia, advo
cated the bill, saying it was too
easy now for boys to buy weapons
in pawn shops and *bat possession.
of Are arms must be curbed. "Two
years ago we opposed this bill but
conditions have changed" said Mr.
Walker, Philadelphia. Mr. Sowers,
Philadelphia, sought to amend the

AMERICAN ONLY
FOR LEGAL FORMS
Bolard Declares That Foreign
Languages Have no
in United States
The attitude of the Pennsylvania
House of Representatives on the
question of "America First," to ex
press it in that manner, was strik
ingly attested last night on the Bo
lard Bill which prohibits the pub
lication of official advertisements in
any language save English. The
real intent of the bill is to eliminate
Oerman papers from being the # re
cipients of official devertislng. The
Judiciary Ixical committee of the
House had reported the bill with a
negative recommendation and Rep
resentative Bolard made a speech
last night to have the bill placed on
the calendar of the House despite
the recommendation of the com
mittee. He spoke for about five
minutes and then the vote was
taken. The House voted 146 to 28
in favor of the bill and against
the committee's action. Mr. Bolard
then agreed to have the bill again
sent to the committee for a public
hearing following which they will
be reported favorably.
Some members voted against
placing the bills on the calendar
over the committee's action because
they cfd not wajit other papers
than German excluded from the
privilege of receiving official ad
vertising. They had in mind Yid
dish, Italian, Slavonian tfnd other
publications that Were not un
friendly in the war or whose
mother nations were not unfriendly.
There is a possibility that the bills
will be amended to include some
other nationalities exclusive of Ger
man. The latter seem to bs out of
luck as far as any public recognition
I is concerned.
Mr. Bolard said in speaking on
his bill: "This bill is not sectional
or local. It applies to the whole
State. It refers to making the Eng
lish language the only language
in which the legal procedure of this
State shall be conducted. To my
mind there is no reason why an ad
vertisement of a legal nature should
be made in the Yiddish, German,
Italian or Chinese language in Penn
sylvania any more than we should
have our bills or our legal forms or
our deeds made in those languages
and go on our records. We have
allowed this thing to creep into
our practice it Pennsylvania and
it has been getting worse and
worse.
"I say the time has come when
we should be Americans, that there
should be no language in this juris
prudence except the English lan
guage."

TO DEPORT MEN
IF FOUND GUILTY
Will Take Several Days to
Examine Prisoners
Caught in Raids
Philadelphia, Feb. 25.—After an
examination of the men arrested
here in connection with an alleged
plot to assassinate President Wil
son, United States District Attorney
Kane said last night it may take
! several days to determine to what
! extent the prisoners were concern
| ed, if at all, in the operations
| charged against them. "But," he
' added, "if the charges are true, the
I aliens will be deported and the
others held for trial here."
Another man was taken Into cus
tody today and one of those arrested
last night was released. Most of
the prisoners are Spaniards. Several
hundred pounds of anarchist

EXAMINE: PRISONERS
| New York. Feb. 25.—Officials of
the Department of Justice announce
that pending further investigation
I they were unable to state whether
i criminal proceedings would be
brought against fourteen Spaniards,
members of the Industrial Workers
of the World, detained on .suspicion
of complicity in an alleged "terror
ist" plot to attempt the overthrow of
the United States government by
assassination of public officials.
Meanwhile, immigration authorities
conducted an examination of the
prisoners, among whom were Florien
Medina Veltia and Elarlo Arestissa,
of Philadelphia, whose coming here
prompted the raids. All the prison
ers are aliens, subject to deporta
tion if they are proven undesirable,
I and at least four of them, according

FEBRUARY 25, 1999L''
The door flew open
and in rushed
the A3 man. He put a very 3irecf question ft}
* Mr. Hershey.
He asked, "Mr. Hershey, why don't you wriU)
an advertisement yourself, about your plant?'* jj
Mr. Hershey replied, "Well, that's what I have
you for."
But the Ad man persisted, saying, "You know
all about your plant—you know your aim in this
business and you ought to tell the people in a
very personal way just what the Hershey Cream
ery Company stands for."
Mr. Hershey replied that he would
probably do that when he had a little time to
spare. But the Ad man wouldn't give up.
He said, "There's no time like the present.
Come on, let's take a trip through the plant and
see if we cannot find something interesting to tell
the people of Harrisburg."
So Mr. Hershey and the Ad man stalled en
tour through the big creamery. Just as they
stepped from Mr. Hershey's office to the big main
room of the plant, Mr. Hershey laid his hand on
top of a big vat, exclaiming, "There, right there's
where we pasteurize all the cream that comes
into our plant. In this big vat the cream is arti-'
ficially cooled and then goes down into the
freezers, which freeze the cream into
HERSHEY'S SUPERIOR ICE CREAM."
But the Ad man stopped him saying "Oh, but
you're too fast. What about all the things that
go into the mixture before you freeze the cream?"
# #
"Well," said Mr. Hershey, "let's go over here
to this big refrigerator, and I will show you some
thing that will interest you."
So they stepped big refrigerator with'
a temperature slightly above freezing.
Asked Mr. Hershey, "Do you see all that fruit
in hermetically sealed containers? Well, we pre
serve it ourselves and we get the very finest fruit
grown. We know what kind of fruit we get and
we know how it is put up. We use REAL fruit
for our fruit flavors. And fresh fruit when we
can get it."
Then, the Ad man asked "Can the people tell
the difference between real fruit flavors and ex
tract fruit flavors?'*
"Well, I'll bet they can," said Mr. Hershey,
"there is all the difference in the world. Did you
ever eat an ice cream sundae in a place where
they used fresh peaches and notice the difference
between that kind of a sundae and the kind you
get in a store where they use peach syrup? Well,
there you are. If all the people in this city really
knew that we used real fruit flavors, we would
6ell nearly all the ice cream in Harrisburg.
"But I am busy to-day, old man, and I would
rather not go through the rest of the plant right
now.'* j
But the Ad man took him by the arm and said,
"Come on, we are going to do this job—we are
going into every nook and corner of this plant
and we are going to tell the people of this town
every little detail of it, and how we make thci
best ice cream in this city."
So they started off together and you will hear
more about the Hershey Creamery Company in
the next issue.
