we have found an astonishing thing
namely, that they have discarded face

fer so much in summer is because
powder does not offer sufficient pro-

the skin from the elements, but in

Destination of Kronprinze
Wilhelm Still a Mystery
BY associated Press

New York, Aug. 4.-The destination
of the steamer Kronprinze Wilhelm
of the North German Lloyd Line, which
let this port last night with a cargo
of coal and miscellaneous stores, was a
subject of speculation to-day.
The steamer, after clearing Sandy
Hook, had only her running light
bprning and was headed in a souther-
ly direction instead of northeastward,
which is the usual course for steam
ships bound for Europe.
The sou erly route taken, and the
fact that the steamer had about 1000
tons more coal than she would need
to cross the Atlantic besides sea stores.
led to reports that she wa going to
sea to transfer supplies and fuel to
the German cruisers Dresden, Straas-
burg and Karlsruhe, which have been
reported as lowering in American wa
tiers.

FOREIGN WAR FLAME
HAS NO Effect on
CiTY'S INDUSTRIES
Few Men Leaving Positions For
Battlefields of Europe Accord
ing to Plant Managers

While contractors and heads of the
big manufacturing establishments en-
ploying foreign labor in this vicinity
refuse to comment on possibilities,
they declare that up to date the
spreading of the war flame through
out Europe has not yet affected the
hosts of workmen from foreign climes.
on the city improvement jobs, at the
pennsylvania Steel Company, the Har-
risburg Foundry and Machine Works.
the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bend
ing Works, the Central Iron and Steel
Works, in fact practically all of the
big plants, there are scores of Aus
TRANS, Servians. Germans and even
some French and Russions employed.
Many of them too, are not naturalized.
1t is this contingent that will he liable
for military duty should the final call
for the reservists to "colors" be sent
from the capitals of Europe.
Just what will happen should the
war ministers of the dual. the Rus
sian and the German empires and the
Balkan States begin to corral their
sons for service beneath their flags
may be n problem for early solution,
the employing agencies and plant and
contracting heads admit.
No Orde Cancellation
Managers of all the local industrial
plants said they have received no can
cellations of foreign orders, due to the
was, as yet.
In discussing the labor situation J..
V. w. Reynders, vice-president of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company. yester-
day pointed out hat thus far only five
men out of the 5000 employed at the
steel works have left the companY's
employ with the announced purpose
of joining the military forces in
Europe. Several of these were spe-
cial cases, said Mr.. Reynders, such as
engineers who hold officers commits
sions in the European armies.
Mr.. Reynders deplored the attitude
of some newspapers which would have
the public believe that foreigners arc
madly rushing home to take part in
the European conflict. He said:
There is an evident moral respon-
sibility in the creation of a sentiment
which up to this time does not exist. -

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST

So-called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, wind. and stomach-ache
are in probably min cases out of ten
simply evidence that fermentation is
taking place in the food contents of the
stomach, causing the formation of gas
and acids. Wind distends the stomach,
and causes hat full, oppressive feeling
sometimes known as heartburn, while
the acid irritates and inflames the deli
yaCe lining of the stomach. The trouble
les entirely in the fermenting food.
Such fermentation is unnatural, and
acid formation is not only unnatural,
but may involve most serious conse-
quences if not corrected. To stop or
prevent fermentation of the food con-
tents of the stomach and to neutraliZe
the acid, and render ii bland and
harmless, a teaspoonful of b~isurated
magnesia, probably the best and most
effective corrector of acid stomach
known, should be taken in a quarter of
a glass of hot or cold water immedi-
ately after eating, or whenever wind
or acidity is felt. This stops the fer
mentation. and neutraliZes the acidity
in a few moments. Fermentation, wind
and acidity are dangerous and unnec-
essary. Stop or prevent them by the
use of a proper ant-cid, such as bisur-
ated magnesia, which can be obtained
from any druggist and thus enable the
stomach to do its work properly with
out being hindored by poisonous as
and dangerous acids.-M. +. P.-Ad-
-V~ertisement.

DIR. HARRY NJ. VASTlNE
Philadelphia, Aug. 4.-Dr. Harry M.
N%astine, of Harrisburg, e a paper
last evening before the eighteenth an
nual convention of the American Os-
teopathic Association. in session here,
on the topic "Technique-Correction
Sacro-Iliac Lessons DIR. Vastine is
an authority on this subject, having
devoted must time to original research
along this and similar ines. lie is
one of the leading figures at the big
convention.
Announcement was made to-day at
the International o~steopathic conVen-
ton that osteopathy has been discoV-
cred to he a cure for all acute infec-
tious diseases. DIR. John DeaSon, of
Chicago. director of the A. 7. Still
Research Institute. the institution
which the osteopathic profession has
established for the purpose of inVesti-
eating by laboratory methods into the
scientific basis of the theory of oste-
opathy. reported that the laboratory
had just proved this fact. DIR. Deason
reported that in one series of forty
animals they found hat when they
could improve the nutrition they could
overcome the progress of infection.
Dr.. Whiting showed that osteopathic
treatment would increase the opsonic
indeX. DIR. Nicholson found that
osteopathic treatment tended to nor
malize the number and kinds of blood
cells. He showed that leucocytosis can
be permanently reduced by osteopathic
treatment and that the red blood cor
puscles can be materially increased in
number.
AS a result of these researches the
director claims that osteopathy has
within itself the essential principles
in the treatment in infections without
the use of drugs.
He claims that osteopathy is a COM
plete system of practice and that ii
gets back to nature by striking at the
real cause of the trouble. The prob
lem of the treatment of disease from
the ostopathic standpoint, therefore,
becomes one of discovering how to
correct the mechanism of disease
rather thar how to dose it with eX-
t%raneous chemicals.
