Mayor Meals Talks
on Possible Change

Before leaving to-day for brief trip
to Roanoke. Va. and other points for a
little rest, Mayor-elect Ezra $. Meals
talked on the possible reapportionment
of the City Council when 1t reorganizes
the first Monday of January, 1915.
DR.. Meals says he believes the re-
arrangement of the Offices in such a
way as to give City Commissioner VIII

department and Commissioner elect +.

partment. would work out nicely.
1.-The office of superintendent of
finance has less to do perhaps than
any other Commissioner under this
form of government. He'll have still
less after the first of the year because
Wen have a City Controller. The City
Treasurer attends to the collection and
disbursements, the City Assessors levy

that Mr.. Gorgas is an older and more
experienced man, man of property,
and therefore inclined to be more con-

pie prefer. He will be an ideal man

An Ideal Remedy
for Nursing Mothers
Compound of Simple Laxative
Herbs Safe For Baby
and Mother.

Constipation is a condition that af-
fects the old. young and middle-aged.
and most people at one time or an
other need help in regulating the action
OF the bowels. Harsh cathartics and
purgatives should not be employed to
relieve constipation. as their effect Is
only temporary while they shock the
system unnecessarily.
A remedy that can be used with per-
feet safety for the tiniest babe and
that is equally effective for the strong
est constitution is found in the COM
bination of simple laxative herbs
known as DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin
snd sold In drug stores everywhere
for fifty cents a bottle. This is an
ideal household remedy and should be
in every family medicine chest.
Mrs. F. I. Barsolow, Is Leslie ST.,

MEALS WILL FIT!
NO INDIGESTION,
GAS OR ACIDITY
Eat without fear of sourness,
heartburn, belching or -
dyspepsia. .
The moment "Pape's Diapepsin"
reaches the stomach all
distress goes.

If your meals don't fit comfortably.
or you feel bloated after eating and
you believe 1t is the food which fills
you; II what little you eat lays like
lump of lead on your stomach; IL
there is difficulty in breathing after
eating, eructations of sour, undigested
food and acid, heartburn, brash or a
belching of gas, you can make up your
mind that you need something to stop
food fermentation and cure indiges-
ton.
To make every bite of food you eat
aid in the nourishment and strength
of your body, you must rid your
stomach gas which sours your entire
meal-interferes with digestion and
causes so many sufferers of dyspepsia,
sick headache, biliousness, constipa-
ton, gripping, etc. Your case is no
different-you are a stomach sufferer,
though you may call it by some other
name; your real and only trouble is
that which you eat does not digest
but quickly ferments and sours, pro-
ducng almost any unhealthy condi-
ton.
A case of Pape's Diapepsin will cost
fifty cents at any pharmacy here, and
will convince any stomach sufferer five
minutes after taking a single dose
that fermentation and sour stomach is
causing the misery of indigestion.
No matter II you call your trouble
catarrh of the stomach, nervousness or
gastritis, or by any other name-al-
ways remember that instant relief is
waiting at any drug store the moment
you decide to begin its use.
Pape's Diapepsin will regulate any
out of order stomach within five min
! utes, and digest promptly, without any
! fuss or discomfort all of any kind of
food you eat.-Advertisement.

the Clark act which would solve the
problem, but this amendment was
defeated.
The schedule of amendments of
1903 refers to the municipal officers
elected in odd numbered years. Mayor
Royal was elected in February, 1911.
and took his office in April of the
same year for a three-year term.
Another amendment, however. al
lowed the extension of his term for
little more than four years-in other
words until the first Monday of De-
cember, 1915.
And the Clark act provides that
the mayor of any third class city shall
take his seat on the first Monday of
January.
If this contention should hold good
and in the opinion of many of the
attorneys of the Dauphin county bar,
the question should only be settled by
the courts-City Council must pro-
vide for the contingency before it goes
out of office.
The question of whether City Coun-
Gil could, under the circumstances,
cancy, has been suggested by some
lawyers. but this has not been de-
cided.
The opinion seems to prevail that if
Mayor Royal loses his job for a
month, his work will be taken care of
by his four fellow members.
The Treasurer Tangle
While the same situation as to Mr..
Copelin's successor exists, another
phase of the city treasurership
hinges upon the relative language of
the act of 1901, the school code and
the Clark act.
The act of 1901 provides that the
city treasurer of any third class city
shall be eX-officio collector of the city,
school and poor taxes. The school
code provides that the school board
may elect its own treasurer, but that
it also may designate someone, either
the school treasurer or anyone else to
collect the school taxes-provided no
city treasurer is elected. Mr.. Cope
lin the courts recently decided, hav-
ing been elected by the people. can
serve as school and city tax collector.
The Clark act provides that the city
treasurer shall be elected by the City
Council. How il is pointed out in
school and city circles to-day, can
the new city treasurer act as collector
of school taxes, since he will not
be chosen by the people directly, but
by Council? Furthermore, if this pro-
vision of the 1901 act is applicable TO
the collection of school taxes. does
it not hold true of both city and poor
taxes?
In other words, wondering munich
pal circles wanted to know to-day,
can the new city treasurer by law
serve as collector of either city or
school taxes?

might become possible. according to
Commissioner-elect Wells.
For many years Harrisburg has
not been represented by two county
commissioners" said Sheriff Wells to-
day. and the fact that the people de-
cided to place two members from the
city on the county board. is an indica-
ton to my mind that the taxpayers of
the county all want to see the county
and city offices combined in a modern
1reproof building that will centralize
the public's business.
Great Saving i'm End
The saving to the taxpayers would
'be great in the end because rents and
so on need not be paid out For in
stance there Is the house of detention
far away from the city. Ample ac-
commodations for the Youngsters
could he provided for in a new build
ing and these could be fed from the
kitchens in the Jail. If these quarters
could be provided l would suggest
that a gymnasium of some sort for
the recreation of the little folks could
be added.
Three court rooms are necessary
for handling the business of the coun-
" and a modern spacious structure
would permit this. They should be
placed on the top floor and the other
offices grouped on the lower floors
with an eye to the convenience of the
public. Quick elevator service would
bring the top floors comparatively
nearer the streets.
"As to costs, this would have to be
divided between the county and the
city and in view of the fact that the
county owns this site. I should think
this item could he considered in pro-
portioning the shares. Harrisburg, l
presume would have to float a loan
for the purpose. OF course this is a
question, more or less of the future,
but I mean to present the subject for
consideration early in the new year.

Earnings Increased

point was reached when it was seen
that it would again be profitable to the
holders of the securities.
Earnings Increased
Since January l, 1912, the earnings
increased steadily with rehabilitation
OF plants over the entire territory. Mr.
Tracy attributes a full measure of the
company's success to the operating
manager, Cameron l.. Baer and the
district managers located at Lewis
town, Hanover, Carlisle, Hagerstown,
Chambersburg and Martinsburg, w
Va. Mr.. Tracy found it necessary to
at once rebuild the toll lines radiating
from Harrisburg and also to replace
obsolete switchboards and telephones
with equipment of the highest and
most modern type. This has been
done out of the earnings of the
various plants and practically with
out borrowing capital.
1t is understood there is to be no
change in this policy and that the
organization. as now constituted, will
undergo little If any change.
New Plants Installed
Under the receivers new plants
were installed at Mechanicsburg,
Carlisle. Shippensburg, MELVILLE,
Gettysburg. Hagerstown, Martinsburg.
W. v, Williamsport, Nd, Steelton,
toll lines from Lewistown to Win
chester were rebuilt. as we'll as toll
lines between Chambersburg, Hanover
and Gettysburg. During the receiver
ship of Mr.. Tracy the Eastern Penn
sylvania Independent Telephone Asso-
citation was organized This associa-
ton includes all independent COM
panies east of Altoona, comprising in
it's membership the big Keystone Tele-
phone Co, Philadelphia; Consolidated
Telephone Co, with headquarters at
Hazleton; United Telephone & Tele-
graph Co., with headquarters in the
Calder Building in Market Square;
the York Telephone & Telegraph Co..
with headquarters at York; the
Columbia Telephone Co, and scores
of smaller companies who took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to join
with their fellow Independents in pro-
tecting themselves against the en-
croachments of powerful interests.
The president Is Charles A Carl, gem
eral manager of the United Co. of this
city, Mr.. Carl having succeeded MIR.
Tracy at the semi-annual meeting. O.
X Kines. auditor of the Cumberland
Valley Telephone Co., is secretary and
treasurer of the organization.
Necessary steps will now be taken
to have the sale of the property con-
firmed by the Dauphin county court
and the receivership ended in the
United States District court. With the
new capital available under the plan
of reorganization the Cumberland Val
ley will become a big factor in the in
dependent telephone business in this
territory, it's officials predict.
