The New Hope Vitrifed Brick
Company, which secured large
tract of land and spent several
thousand dollars in preliminary
work, year ago, bids fair to come
to life again at an early date.
1t is expected that officers of the
company, together with some of
the financial hackers, will be at
New Hope to look over the pro-
perry within a week or ten DAYS
and that work may be renewed with
the coming of Spring.
The work had never been abandon
ed permanently, because the raw
material is on the ground. and in
quantities that will supply the COM
pany indefinitely.
When the company stopped work
year ago, it paid up its bills, and
some of those employed were told
that their services might be needed
again some day. If itshould resume
work in the Spring it would be a
most welcome addition to the in
dustries of this section.

suffering from indigestion and dys-

It's not only needless but dangerous

Mi-o-na tablets, which are especially

upset stomachs.
Mi-o-na is a simple and harmless
prescription that can be used at any
time. These small and most beneficial
tablets do more than give quick and
lasting relief-they soothe the irri-

so that what you eat is quickly con-
verted into healthful nourishment for
the blood and nerves. Then you are

HOW TO STOP
STOMACH TORMENT
Sound Advice From A WeII-Knpwn
Physician.

Men and women who suffer from
what they call Dyspepsia, Indigestion
or just plain "stomach-trouble" usual
~ seek regular relief in the form of
some pepsin pill or tablet or other ar
tificial digestant. This experience
teaches me, is a serious error. In nine
cases out of ten, the distress is caused
by the development OF acids in the
stomach-formed by the fermenting of
the food. Instead of a digestant be-
ing required, something should be
taken TO dissolve or neutraliZe this
acidity, when normal digestion will
FOLLOW as a matter of course. This
acid matter is distinctly poisonous and
unless IT is dissolved, digestion merely
carries the mass of fermenting food

blood and carried all over the body

suiter after nearly every meal would

PLAN FOR
NEW LIGHT SYSTEM
Power Company Willing to Make
New Contract With the
Borough

A plan for improving Steelton's
street lighting system and at the same
time reducing the expense was dis
cussed at a meeting last evening of
.Councilmen Stees and Sellers, repre-
senting the town property and finance
committees of council, and Robert w
Hoy, commercial manager of the Har-
risburg Light and Power Company.
The plan was suggested several
months ago by Councilman Sellers and
Immediately taken up by council. The
town property committee was instruct
ed to prepare new list of locations
for lights to recommend the replacing
of number of arc lights with incan-
descents and the placing of new
lights in various poorly-lighted parts
of the town.
The town property committee. with
the help of the eouncilmen from each
precincG prepared a new list which
was adopted by> council. This new
scheme was submitted to the lighting
company last evening and Mr.. HOY
inumated that his company would be
willing to change the contract with
the borough in order to allow the
saving.
