A SAFE WAY TO
STOP INDIGESTION
Without Pear of Weakening the Stom
ach. Works Pine in Any Case and
Brings Belief in Ten Minutes
The greatest folly of to-dav is com
mitted by people with weak dyspeptic
stomachs who take artificial digesters
to cure indigestion.
Artificial digesters—pepsin pills, etc.
—simply encourage a lazy or tired out
stomach to shirk its work by doing
most of its work for it. This is fine for
a time but as every chronic dyspeptic
knows, artificial digesters soon lose
their efficiency. Where one once did the
trick three or four are now required
and the poor old stomach itself is worse
off than ever.
Your stomach must be sfrong enough
to expand and contract with a sort of
churning movement so as to mix its
digestive juices with your food. If your
stomach isn't strong enough to properly
churn your food, you will keep right on
having indigestion after every meal
until you make it strong.
There is one Stomach remedy that
every dyspeptic can depend on as surely
as that the sun will rise to-morrow anil
that is the famous old MI-O-NA Stom
ach Tablets. Most stomach remedies let
the stomach rest and digest the food
themselves. Mi-o-na won't digest any
thing, but it will strengthen and stimu
late the stomach and make it do its
own digesting. It stops stomach pains,
gas, bloating, burning, belching, etc.,
in ten minutes and does still better by
making the flabby, inflamed and inactive
stomach walls grow strong and elastic
and able to do their own churning. Mi
o-na Tablets never lose their effect and
unlike mere artificial digesters need not
be used forever. A few weeks use is
generally sufficient to put any stomach
in fine shape anil H. C. Kennedy and
many other leading druggists here
abouts sell it with that understanding,
agreeing to refund money to anyone
who does not get complete relief. —

CAPITOL HILL
BILL TO LICENSE STEAM
ENGINEERS IN THE STATE
Measure Creates Thrwrrtnlng Boards in
Cities of the Third Class and Con
tains Stringent Boles to Carry Out
Its Provisions
Hamburg is interested in a bill
which was introduced in the House
yesterday by Representative Ramsey,
of Delaware, creating an Examining
Board of Steam Engineers in cities of
the third class. By the proposed law
City Commissioners would name two
practical engineers of not less than six
years' experience each as members of
the board. The Director of Public
Safety would sit with the two engin
eers in the examination of all appli
cants for license as qualified steam en
gineers.
The Ramsey bill would make it un
lawful for any man not a licensed en
gineer to operate any steam boiler and
engine of more than 20 horse power
and carrying more than fifteen pounds
per square inch. The act would not ap
ply to boilers and engines under the
jurisdiction of the United States and
locomotives operated by railroad com
panies.
No one under 21 years of age would
be allowed to stand an examination. A
fee of $3 is to be paid when the li
cense is granted. Annually the engin
eer would be required to renew his li
cense, paying a feet of sl. The ex
aminers are to receive $5 per day for
each day they sit to conduct the ex
aminations.
Owners of the boiler or engine are
held responsible for any accident that
might happen in the event an unli
censed engineer is employed. If they
employ an unqualified engineer for
more than ten days they are liable to
arrest and may be fined as high as
SIOO for each" offense. The engineer
would be liable to pay a tine of SIOO
and be sent to jail for three mouths.
Licensed engineers, who leave their
place of employment without giving
twenty-four hours' notice to the em
ployers, shall be guilty of a misde
meanor. Revocation of the engineer's
license for one veur would follow.
Governor in Philadelphia
Goverhor Brumbaugh left this after
noon for Philadelphia where he will
to-morrow hear several delegations
regarding legislation to come before
him. He will return on Monday, and
that evening will leave for Newport
News to witness the launching of the
battleship Pennsylvania.
Bills Settled
Auditor General Powell said to-day
that he has nettled all of the bills for
advertising the constitutional conven
tion, but indicated that they had not
been settled according to "bills ren
dered." He exercised his prerogative
of "uditimg" ana scaled some of the
•bills down, but an effort will be made
by legislation to have them all paid as
per "bills rendered" through the Hab
good bill making an appropriation,
which is now in the Senate having
passed the House.

The adjournment resolution is now in
the hands of the House clerk* to be
messaged to the Senate on Monday
evening. It is said that it will be rush
ed to the Senate as soon as possible oil
that day in orler that the Senate may
stow it away and keep watch over it.
to produce it at a favorable moment
and take action on it, but just what
that action w ill be is not problematical.
A story was current to-day that
Speaker Ambler, who opposed the reso
lution, will hold it back from being
sent to the Senate in order that an at
tempt may be made on Tuesday night
to reconsider the vote by which it was
passed. The House will meet at 9
o'clock on Tuesday and the Senate at
9.30 an,l in the tialf hour between the
two meetings the House might take
such action, but it is doubtful, in view
of the large vote the resolution re
ceived. that the House will reverse it
self, even though the Governor desires
it.
Those opposed to the Governor's leg
islation say that the gubernatorial
measures can now be delayed on one
pretext or another so that the dav for
final adjournment will roll around be
fore all t'an be considered, and some
bills will die a_ natural death. The
Governor's t'rieAls say that something
will drop if this game is played to a
finish and hint at a special session.

with the bears climbing poles and
knocking lines out of service, also the
stretchihg of submarine cable across t'he
San Francisco bay.., It also showed the
placing of a call bv a miner in Denver,
Col., for his employer at a hotel in New

take as it went from one exchange to
another and finally to the private
branch exchange, also the page going

the licenses. The applications read
that the hotelmen's bondsmen wore not
interested in the manufacture, etc.
The Judges Disagree
Judge Bernhisel, who, with Judge
Lucius C. Wox, of Marysville, is an
Associate or "lay" Judge, contended
that the technical error raised by the
court, if it be an error, was ono- that
precedent has overlooked for half a
century, if not more, and he held that
the licenses should be allowed. Judge
Wo* is ill at his Marysville home and
did not consider the applications.
Among the attorneys in court here
this morning it was said the higher
court has held that where a law and a
"lay" Judge disagree, "the applica
tions shall not be allowed."
On two applications only did Judge
Seibert ai.il Judge Bornhisel agree.
Both held that the sale of liquor at the
P. R. Shenk hotel, Millerstown, and
the Albert Zerfel hostelry, Marysville,
is not necessary and they decided to
refuse the licenses.
In all othei case> Judge Bernhisel
said he felt disposed to grant the appli
cations. Judge Seibert, however, said
he would have refused the applications
of Robert Hopple, Millerstown; Robert
Nixon and James Straus, Newport,
holding that these licenses are not nec
essary. Because he felt satisfied that
the applicant's employes had sold in
toxicants to "persons of known intem
perate habits," Judgt Seibert also said
he would have refused the application
of D. C. Nary, Elliottsburg.
Withdraws Application
Iu the case of MeClellan Cox, pro
prietor of a hotel in Blain, e»even of
the signers to the application testified
in court that the license was not neces
sary and for that reason Judge Seibert
said he would have denied the licensing
of that place.
T. H. Butturff, proprietor of a bot
tling works in Newport, withdrew his
application after a remonstrance was
filed.

AUTO SHARES ARE AGAIN
ACTIVE IN MET IQ-RAY
The Advance in Motor Issues and Af
filiated Stocks Ranges From One
and a Half to Four and a Half
Points
By Associated Press.
New York, March 12. —Wall Street.
—Automobile shares were again con
spicuous at the outset of to-day's trad
ing with further material gains, while
speculative favorites were relatively
neglected. The advance in the motor
issues and affiliates stocks ranged from
1 1-2 to 4 1-2 points and was due in
large part to professional manipula
tion, outside interest being trilling.
Among the leaders U. S. Steel and
Amalgamated Copper gained 1-2 a
l>oint each with strength in Lehigh
Valley and "Soo." Of the more dor
man specialties, American Woolen,
Pfd., was prominent for its rise of
i 2 1-2.
Motor shares continued to absorb
the bulk of the light trading, dealings
in those issues comprising nibout 20
per cent, of the early sessions of the
entire output. Union Pacific, Reading
and some others of the active group
were in steady demand, this being re
flected in their higher price /'levels. •
Gains were lost before midday, how
ever, some of the standard stocks
selling under yesterday's close on
profit taking. Among the more severe
declines were losses of 2 to 4 1-2
I>oints in United Railways of San
Francisco, common and pfd. Bouds
were irregular and narrow.

Brook wood street. I
coed. I'll tell you in one sentence—not
ten per cent, of the students have any
just reason for aspiring to vocal emi
nence And ten per cent is a liberal esti
mate —and here is another reason.
"It may seem brutal but it is a de
ploruble fact—not twenty-five per ceut.
of those who give vocal instruction are
qualified to teach the art correctly.
There is more chicanery and humbug
in voice teaching than in all other de
partments of the musical profession
combined; it is for this reason that
there ought to be laws prohibiting the
incompetent from ruining voices and
blasting hopes. Not a week passes but
what I hear a number of girls sing, who
are studying for the operatic stage,
most of whom could not become artists
if they studied a lifetime." —Adv.*
