call a spade a spade.
Your food ferments and your stom
ach isn't strong enough to digest, the
food you put into It, so the food sours
and forms poisonous gases and when
It does leave your stomach it lias not
furnished proper nourishment to the
blood, and has left the stomach in a
filthy condition
Take Mi-o-na stomach tablets if
you want to change your filthy stom
ach to a healthy, clean, purified one.
If Mi-o-na fails to relieve your in
digestion, rid you of dizziness, bilious
ness and sick headache, your dealer
will cheerfully refund your money.
If you want to make your stomach
so strong tnat it will digest a hearty
meal without distress, and you want
to be without that drowsy, all tired
out feeling, take Mi-o-na; it should
give you prompt relief. For sale by

TUESDAY EVENING,
reading last evening. A third meas
ure by the same Senator was amend
ed for misspelled Words, and is
scheduled to go through to-day.
The lirst of two measures to pass,
is the Harr'sburg hilt authorizing
that the county commissioners to
combine with the authorities of any
third class c'ty in the erection of a
joint hospital. l-'nder the provi
sions of the hill, the proper authori
ties are empowered to condemn and
sell real estate located upon the
chosen site of the prospective build
ing. Authority to issue bonds to
raise the necessary money, is also
conferred upon the city and county.
The second measure to go through
relates to the building of county
bridges, and permits the county com
missioners to call in additional en
gineers to inspect the plans for pro
posed bridges, and to submit new
plans for different type structures,
which may be adopted if the move
ment is considered wise.
It was found necessary to amend
Senator Smith's bill relative to third
class city garbage collection and dis
posal plants, for misspelling, but it
will probably pass to-day. The
measure permits third class cities to
maintain city garbage collection sys
tems, and a disposal plant.
HKI> CHOSS COM.ECTS
The Ked Cross salvage committee
wishes to remind housekeepers that
salvage is Still desired at headquar
ters. and during these housecleaning
days, every woman will probably
find plenty of old papers, rags, mag
azines, rubber, tinfoil and metal
which she does not wish to have
around. These can all be left for
the salvage committee in the base
ment of the Public Library and will
help bring in the funds that are
badly needed.
NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE
"SPEED UP" NOW
ORDER OF HOUSE
Lower Branch "Will Push Its
Work to Adjourn as Early
as It Is Possible
A "speed up" program for the
House of Representatives was out
lined at an early morning conference
to-day of Speaker Robert S. Spung
ler and the chairmen of the various
committees and the play is to have
the lower branch of the Legislature
clear its calendar every week before
it adjourns, even if it should require
a session on Thursday mornings.
Sessions will be held Tuesday morn
ings and evenings, the afternoons
I to be devoted to hearings and com
mittee meetings, with the same ar
rangement for Wednesdays. The
first Tuesday evening session will be
held to-night.
Speaker Spangler informed the
chairmen that he wanted to advance
the work of the House so that the
bulk of the bills would be out of
the way when the appropriation
bills start to conic out a fortnight
hence. The chairmen reported that
their committees were in good shape
and that barring Mils held for hear
ings, which will be concluded in
the next ten days, bills in their cus
tody could soon bo disposed of. All
agreed to expedite business as rap
idly as possible.
The Speaker said that he thought
that the bills would all be in hand
very soon, as May 7 had been fixed
for the last day to introduce them,
the work of Vthe committee would
not be very heavy.
The chairmen reported that their
members would be very glad to clear
up the work of flic House and that
some thought that the session could
be Wound tip late in May or in the
first week in June.
Leiby Sends Egg
Bill to Storage
"Why is an egg'.'" was a common
question in the Senate last, evening,
after Senator Scott Leiby, Perry, had
"pulled" one of iiis now common
"jokers," by having the Gans bill
relative to the sale of bad eggs, re
committed to the public library com
mittee.
The measure, sponsored by Mr.
Gans, of Phila., makes it a misde
meanor to intentionally sell bad eggs
as the genuine fresh article, and
provides penalties for violations of
the act.
Senator I.eiby, who says the bill is
a bad one from the country people's
standpoint, although the measure
passed the House in which there
are practically 80 "country" mem
bers, by a 169-t vote, moved to have
the bill recommitted to the Public
Library committee, when the meas
ure came up for a final vote in the
upper House.
Some time ago, Senator Leiby,
amused the Senate with an amend
ment. to a public highway bill, pro
viding that all "bulls and cows on
tlie public highways, shall carry
lights after nightfall." Now every
one is waiting to see what the Sena
tors' next offering will be.
House Hears About
the Keystone Division
Col. Fred Taylor Pusey, quarter
muster of the Keystone Division and
a former member of the House, ad
dressed the lower branch of the Leg
islature on invitation of the House.
Colonel Pusey referred to the days
when he acted as speaker and said
now he is a messenger of good cheer
because all the Keystone division is
on the sea and will soon he home.
The colonel said he hoped that
everyone, who could do so would he
able' to see the division parade in
Philadelphia.

w Wear Smaller Shoes |
Most persons must wear larger shoea
than their feet really require because of an
almost constant puffed or swollen condition
caused by congestion in the subsurface
blood vessels. But this condition yields
quickly to proper treatment and can bo
easily controlled. The scientific, shrinking
and soothing action of a Cal-o-cide foot
bath shows remarkable results for thin pur
pose, restoring the normal solidnesa of tho
flesh and bringing immediate relief from
aching, tenderness and excess perspiring.
It penetrates the pores and corrects tho
cause. Cal-o-clde costs but a quarter from
any druggist. Each puckage contains pow
erful little plasters that will remove the
most stubborn corn. Give this treat to your
feet, improve appearance.—Adv.

ENLARGE POWER
OF THE CITIES
Third Glass Measure Would
Establish Rights For
Playgrounds
A bill empowering third class
cities to acquire and maintain play
grounds, gymnasiums, and swim
ming pools, was presented to the
Senate last evening by Senator
Tompkins of Cambria.
The measure confers the power of
eminent domain upon the city, in
order to secure the necessary sites
for the recreational features, and
authorizes the issuance of bonds to
meet the necessary expenses.
The school districts in the munici
palities effected are authorized to
join in the movements, and are bur
dened with a share of the cost.
A new teachers salary bill was
brought forward by Senator Frank
E. Baldwin. Potter county. Under
its provis.ons the minimum wage
scale is boosted to the following
level:
Holders of provisional cer
tificates SOO
Holders of professional ccr
tiilcates .> $73
Holders of college or Nor
mal school diplomas . . SBS
Of this sum, the local school dis
trict is obligated to $42 to the hold
ers of provisional certificates, the
State making good thj rest. To the
teachers with professional or norm
al school diplomas, the State will
pay the difference between the min
imum wage rate, and $4 5, which the
school district will provide.
The Senate passed nearly two
score hills on third reading, largely
without comment, although two
measures in particular called forth
sporadic debate, the measures in
question being the Plilidalephia dis
trict attorney office bill, and tlie
Pittsburgh mercantile appraiser's
measure.
Senator Leiby, Perry, was one of
the three senators voting against the
hill creating new positions in the
Philadelphia district attorney's office.
The other dissenting votes were from
Philadelphia representatives.
The Daix election bills went over
in their order at the request of the
spoil sir, Senator Augustus Daix, Jr.,
of Philadelphia. There was no de
bate on the measures.
New hill presented included the
following: Senator Pliipps, Venan
go—Fixing the salaries of sheriffs
in counties having a population be
tween 35,000 and 60,000.
Senator Eyre, Chester —Permitting
any railroad holding more than one
half of the capital stock of a con
necting railroad, to acquire the fran
chise, etc., of the latter.
Senator Graff, Indiana- —Providing

tain "emergency men" of the civil
war, who do not receive a pension
from the National Government.
Senator Murdoch, Allegheny—Es
tablishing a new division of docu
ments in tlie Department of Public
Printing and Binding.
Senator Davis, Lackawanna —Pro-
viding that any person over 18 years
of age who shall have matriculated
at any college, shall be entitled to
register as a student at law, for
the purpose of entering the bar of
the Supreme Court, upon certificate
of graduation, and payment of a fee
of $25, to the State Board of Law
Examiners.
No Agreement on
Compensation Yet
Tlie committee of employers and
employes yesterday afternoon failed
to reach any agreement on a com
pensation bill and the chances are
that they will not. The employers
yesterday declared that times wero
not suited for increases of rates or
anything that would add to costs of
production and make extra burdens.
The' employes disagreed with this
proposition.
There was talk to-day that the
labor people might put in a bill of
their own which would increase
rates.
Legislators to Welcome
Troops of Iron Division
In Ihe Senate last evening, Sena
tor Pliipps. Venango, presented a re
solution calling for the appointment
of a joint committee of six. to be
composed of three senators and
three members of the. House, to ar
range for the attendance of the Gen
eral Assembly, at the reception to be
given in Philadelphia to the Iron
Division.
The resolution was passed unani
mously and sent to the House for
its concurrence.

Penrose Talks of
June Adjournment
Senator Boies Penrose last night
issued a statement urging the Phila
delphia bills and the speeding up
of the session. The Senator said that
he thought that adjournment could
bo taken early in June, which is the
hope of many legislators.
In the course of his remarks, the
Senator said that he thought the
time was coming when the people
would have to look for longer ses
sions than a decade ago because of
the amount of work that had to be
done. Incidentally, he said, he fav
ored an increase of salaries for the
members.
The bill for act increase of salaries
is pending in the House.

ther manufacture of the iron crosses

uig and selling Imitations of them.
STATE POLICE
BILL DEFEATED
Labor, Third Class City and
Rural Beat the
Powell Bill
The bill adding one troop to the
State Police and giving It the duties j
of the fire marshal, as well as estab- j
lisliing a bureau of criminal records,
was defeated in the House of Repre-I
sentatlves by 113 naes to 69 ayes.
The bill abolishing the lire marshal's
department was passed last week.
Labor representatives led the fight
against the bill. Messrs. Fowler,
Lackawanna, and Mclntyre, Fayette,
speaking against it. Legislative
leagues lined up with the labor and
rural members. Dauphin men all
voted "no." ,
The Lackawanna member said
the Police were ercatcc] in 1905 be
cause militia were too friendly dur
ing strikes and that the increase in
1917 was voted because of the war.
Pennsylvania, be contended, was
peaceful and the addition to the
force was not needed. He also
assailed the volunteer police and
anti-sedition bills, which be said
were a part of a plan to "militarize"
the State.
Mr. Powell, Luzerne, sponsor for
the bil l , said lie /came from tlio
strongest union town in Pennsyl
vania ttnd that organized labor was
not opposed to the bill. Mr. McTti
tyre challenged this statement and
Mr. Powell replied that his course in
1917 had been made an issue against
him in his district anil he had won.
Mr. Mclntyre retorted that organ
ized labor was against the bill, but
Mr. Powell said he thought "not.
The Luzerne member said he felt
sure labor needed not be alarmed
and that (lie Governor would always
be fair.
Tlie State Art Commission bill, an
administration measure, was passed,
181 to 2. immediately afterwards.
Hack On Calendar
The Willscn bill repealing the
nonpartisan feature of the third
class eity code, defeated last Mon
day, was reconsidered and put back
011 the calendar in the House after
a brief debate. The motion was
made by Mr. Shunk, Krie, and op
posed by Mr. Wallace. Lawrence,
who had a tilt with Mr. Simpson,
Allegheny, who, urged the motion on
the ground that members had heard
from their constituents while home
over the week-end and thought an
error had been made in defeating
the bill. Mr. Wallace said sentiment
ui the third-class, cities was against
the repeal and that a few years ago
the Legislature bad refused to re
peal the second-class citv nonparti
san law. Mr. Wal'aee also said he
did not think sentiment on the Will
son bill bad changed in a week.
The bill was put back on the cal
endar by a viva voce vote and then
postponed.
Provisions for increases of salaries
for janitors and other school em
ployes, exclusive of teachers, were
stricken from the Woodruff bill on
motion of the sponsor, after an
hour's debate. Mr. Sterling, Phila
delphia, who opposed the change,
immediately presented a bill provid
ing increases in salaries for such
persons to 25 per cent where they
received less than SIOO a month and
making a scale for others.
Mr. Sterling said the extra pay
for the classes would take onlv
$200,000.
Mr. Sterling pleaded that such per
sons were as entitled to an advance
as teachers, which was opposed by
Messrs. Sarig, Perks, and Martin.
Allegheny, who are teachers, and
Mos rs. Woodruff. Snyder, and Will
iams* Tioga. Mere than' 134 mem
bers voted to cut out the provisions.
-Mr. Martin then moved to add rec
ognition for what are known as city
normal schools, but withdrew it.
The bill then passed second reading.
