Acid Stomachs Are
Dangerous
Common Sense Ailvlce by n Distin
guished Specialist
"Acid" stomachs are dangerous be
cause acid irritates and Inflames the
delicate lining of the stomach, thus hin
dering and preventing the proper ac
tion of the stomach, and leading to
probably nine-tenths of the cases of
stomach trouble from which people suf
fer. Ordinary medicines and medicinal
treatments are useless in such cases,
for they leave .the source of the trou
ble, the acid in the stomach, as dan
gerous as ever. The acid must be neu
tralized, and Its formation prevented,
and the best thing for this purpose is
a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, a
simple antacid, taken In a little warm
or cold water after eating, which not
only neutralizes the acid, but also pre
sents the fermentation from which acid
ity is developed. Food 3 which ordinar
ily cause distress may be eaten with
impunity if the meal Is followed with
a little bisurated magnesia, which can
be obtained from any druggist, and
should always be kept handy. —Adv.

SENDING A KITCHEN TO FAIR
Model Designed to Illustrate Principles
of Culinary Arrangement Will In
terest Housewives at Show
Washington, Jan. 19. —A complete
kitchen with a real stove, refrigerator,
sink, work table and other necessaries
is being sent by the Department of
Agriculture to San Francisco for the
fair. This kitchen is not a "model"
in the sense ihat every housewife is
to try to make hers as nearly like it as
possible, but is rather a composite 01
many possible model kitchens which is
! designed to illustrate various esseutial
principles of convenient kitchen ar
rangement. The American housewife,
for whose special benefit the model has
been constructed, must judge from it
what appliances and improvements in
arrangement will best fit her peculiar
household needs—and those of her
purse.
One general idea emphasited by the
department's San Francisco-bound kit
chen is that the size of the ordinary
kitchen should be small rather than
large if the room is to be used only for
the preparation of the meals. It should
foe as compact as possible to save trav
eling foack and forth. The stove, table,
and sink should be as near together as
is convenient, and the. distances to sup
plies and the dining room or pantry
should be short. On the floor of the
model room the distances most common
ly traveled in preparing and serving
meals are indicated by straight lines.
"The fewer ornaments the better in
a housewife's workshop," is the text
of another lesson of this little exhibit.
Corners are rounded; surfaces plain;
there are few moldings as possible to
catch dirt which must be removed with
so much effort. One feature is a table
"with legs that may be raised or low
ered to suit the height of the worker.
The refrigerator, as it stands, would
never in the world recommend itself to
any thrifty .housewife, for one part of
it is lined with solid porcelain, another
with enameled steel, another with zinc
painted with enamel paint, and another
with unpainted zinc. However, this re
frigerator preaches a sermon of its own
for the advantages and disadvantages
of each particular lining are explained
in labels attached. Each woman who
reads may look for what suits her own
refrigerator,'and housewives from the
North or from the South, from a liiigih
dry region or a low, moist region may
each decide which feature is most ad
aptable for her own use and pocket
book.
A stew kettle is shown in sm-eraf
common materiaJs in the model kitchen,
'but no particular make is recommend
ed. The aim is to show sauce pans or
kettles of steel, aluminum, enamelware,
copper and earthenware, and descrip
tive labels explain how each material
excels in its own way, and its disad
vantages.
On the walls of the model are shown
samples of the more common floor cov
erings and wall finishes with laibels
setting forth the relative merits and
drawtbacks of each. Linoleum and oil
cloth haive their strong points and so
have tinted, painted and undressed wall
surface. Varnished wall paper is good
for some purposes and unvarnished for
others.

LIEUT. GOV. m'CLfllN'S
ADDRESS TO THE SENATE
In assuming the office of Lieutenant
Governor, Frank B. McClain made a
long address to the Senate. He said
that the Legislature should not treat
the party platform of 1914 as if it
were a series of "New Year resolu
tions."
"We don't need to do a whole lot of
things." he said, "but what is done
should be well done and done quickly."
Mr. McClain advocated economy in
appropriations. He said:
"The net revenues of the State for
the year. 1914, show a decrease, due
to existing business depression. True,
the decrease is not a great one but for
all that, its a decrease, ami present
pros|»wts hold out no promise of in
crease for the coming year. Therefore,
a greater economy will have to be prac
ticed. cannot spend what we do
not have, and certainly no increase in
appropriations can be made over the ap
propriations of 1913.
Amusing to Hqar People Talk
"It is positively amusing to hear l
some people who ought to know bet- j
ter, but don't, talk of how the State:
should appropriate millions for this and j
millions for that, as if the public treas- j
ury was as inexhaustible as 'the ever
fllling pitcher of the Danaides.' They J
evidently are exf the impression that I
money 'grows on the trees' in Capitol]
Park or can b« dug out like culm coal!
from the bed of the nearby Susquehan- ;
na. They talk about a. million or twoj
with the same abandon they would talk I
a.bout 'thirty cents' ol' their own. They I
seem to forget that taxation is the only
method through which gold can be put |
into Pennsylvania's 'strong box.' And
taxation these days is not a popular!
brand of legislation. We had evidence|
of that in the results of the last cam
paign and under existing circumstances
it behooves us of the majority party to
sternly turn our faces against all prop
ositions in legislation in the shape of
now takes whether the same be new
subjects of taxation or additional bur
den upon-.those who, under existing law
and present conditions, are heavily la
den.
Against Probing Business
" Irft us keep out of the investigation
'business. The, appointment of commis
| sions to peer into this and smell into
j that, who make a junket of their work
and then submit a report which nobody
reads and presents the state with a bill
running high up into the thousands of
dollars, is the price of their useless in
formation.
"The tendency among legislative
| bodies for the past several years has
| been regulate everybody and everything
i until it has come to pass that a man or
; a firm or a corporation engaged in an
! ordinary, respectable business must be
continually hunting a lawyer to tell
j him what he can do or what he can't
i do. The people are sick, sore and tired
i of that sort of thing.
No Heed to Intolerant Clamor
"Let us steer clear of 'half baked'
j theories in legislation, remembering how
J hard it. is to repeal an act of assembly
■ even after its inefficiency has been con
| clusivly demonstrated. As an example
let me cite the non-partisan election of
I judges.
"Let us give no heed to intolerant
clamor and indicate our contempt for ir
responsible assault.
j "I Object to the term 'progressive'
| legislation in its application to this ses-
I sion of the General Assembly. In view
! of the fact that the Republican party
I will bo held responsible for everything
, done here 'Republican' legislation is the
better, the more appropriate term to
employ and then, 'lest we forget' Pro
i gressive and Republicanism are and
have been, both in the State and Na
j tion, synonymous terms.
Delay in State Litigation
"I would suggest the enactment of
a law that would make it possible for
cases in which the Commonwealth is in
volved by reason of a question of con
stitutionality to have the question of
constitutionality taken direct to the .Su
preme f'ourt for adjudication, and thus
get rid of the intermineable delay re
suiting from first trying the case in the
Common Pleas Court which delay often
works so disastrously to the Common
wealth's best interests, in substanti
ation of which I point to the coal tax
law of 1913. The tax due from these
corporations, unier the act of 1913, up
to date, is, I am informed, nearly $3,-
000,000. The coal companies have col
lected the tax from the consumer, and
more, too but have never paid it into
the State Treasury and if the Supreme
Court should decide the act of 1913
unconstitutional the anthracite monop
oly will have both the 'penny and the
cake.' "

"French Models"
Bernard and Zeisler's big combina
tion of merry makers are coming to
the 'Majestic Friday matinee and night
and everything joints to one of tiie
most satisfactory burlesque shows this
season. Frank Burt, author of this
new musical-burlesque, has constructed
much that is original, catchy and tune
ful, and there are forty people in the
cast. The chorus, which is, of course,
indispensable in the presentation of
burlesque, is composed of a score of
youthful misses who can sing and dam e
as well as appear attractive. The pro
duction of this elaborate extravaganza
and burlesque requires much in the way
of stage sotting and costumes, and the
management has been careful in sup
plying this.
An olio of exceptionally strong
vaudeville numbers is an important fea
ture of the bill. Heading this company
of burJesquers are Frank Burt, the ec
centric German comedian, ami Hughia
Befnard, that q.iaint blackface comic,
as well as Geo. "Red" Martin. Walter
Vernon, Mabel Laura Houston,
Flossie McC'loud and Fred DeSilva.

At the Orphcum
The Courtney Sisters are the easy
I winners of this week's bill at the
I plieum. At least this was the verdict
I of yesterday's audiences, who applaud
ed the Orp Ileum's inaugural bill
throughout, but who, when the Court
: ney Sisters came on with their clever
singing turn, seemed to call on their
reserve amount of applause and scut
the girls off with an hurrah finish. The
Courtney Sisters received a big recep
tion when they first came before the
footlights and after they had sawg their
entire repertoire, the audience still
clamored for more and the girls had
! to apologize bv saying that they had
|no more. The audiences still applaud
j ed, but in vain. So much for the suc
| cess of the Courtney Girls on the new
j vaudeville bill. Flo Irwin, the eminent
j comedy star, and sister of Flo Irwin,
i is also making her first vaudeville ap
pearance in Harris-burg this week.
Her vehicle is a screeching comedy
from the pen of Edgar Allen Woolf,
entitled "The of the Press."
Miss Irwin has the support of a fine
cast and she made the most of the clev
er lines of a bright sketch. Also Non
ette, the Gypsy violinists, is here. This
pretty little miss with the winsome per
sonality and the artist of the violin,
still possesses a dynamo of magnetism,
also the same pretty dimples of yoro
and a smile that 'bores right through.
The Keatons with "Buster" add a
nice comedy share to the offering; Lar
son and MeClellan, offer something
clever and original in a roller skating
novelty, and the Meykos Girls, Japan
ese artists, do a very interesting Orien
tal act.—Adv.*
At the Colonial
Beautiful poses after master paint
ings are being presented by Burdella
Patterson, as the artistic attraction of
the now bill at the Colonial. "Dina"
and "Psyche Before Nature's Mirror"
are som-e of the most beautiful but
there are a dozen or more and each of
them is excellent. Browning and Dean,
monarchs of blackface comedy; Lan
caster and Small, presenting a rich
comedy, "A Stormy Hour;" and Lu
cille Tilton in splendid impersonations,
complete the very elever bill. "The
Great Secret," a three j part master
piece in the way of moving pictures,
will likely attract lovers of that type
of entertainment.—Adv.*
