FIRE COMPANY OF
WORMLEYSBURG
TOUSE HALL FREE
Difference of Opinion Among
Firemen and Members of
Council Is Adjusted

Wormleysburg, Pa, April 4.-Mem-
bers of the Wormleysburg Fire Com
pany last evening won their fight with
the borough council of the town and
as the result. will be permitted to use
the auditorium in the new town hall
free. in addition to having place in
which to house the company's ap-
paratus and meetingroom. Council
will have a room in the building IN
which to meet.
The controversy started soon after
the work on the new building was
started. Some of the councilmen were
of the opinion that the hall, which
takes up the entire second floor,
should be rented to persons desiring
to hold entertainments, festivals or
suppers for the benefit of churches or
other organizations and the other
councilmen thought this would be the
proper thing to do. But then some
person brought up the question OF
charging the fire company and the
trouble started. Several councilmen
and other borough officials believed
the company should pay a rental as
well as any other organization. Others
objected to this. There was a split
and many hard words were passed
during the past few weeks and at last
evenings session, when the matter
was threshed out, Burgess J. Fred
Hummel had a tilt with one of the
member sof council.
Peace, however, was finally declared
and council agreed to permit the fire
men to use the hall, basement, ap-
paratusroom and meetingroom free.
The idea of erecting a new town
hall really originated within the ranks
of the fire company and when the
question of money was brought up in
council, the firemen turned all of the
money in their treasury over to the
borough fathers. This, it is said,
amounted to $500 and then the Ladies
Auxiliary of the company also con-
tributed the money they had in their
treasury. Because of this action, the
tiremen believed they should have the
use of the building free. Churches
and other organizations, however, will
have to pay for the use of the hall.
At the present time, rehearsals for
the annual performance of the Worm
leysburg Fire Company minstrels are
being held and the fact that it was
thought the company would have to
pay for the use of the hall caused
several members of the circle to de-
clare their intentions of quitting. With
peace declared, however. the show
will he given April 81 and 2S.

What To Eat And
Prevent Indigestion

indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble are, nine times out
of ten, due to acidity; therefore stom-
ach sufferers should, whenever possible.
avoid eating food that is acid in its
nature, or which by chemical action in
the stomach develops acidity. Those
sufferers who have been obliged to eN-
clude from their diet all starchy, sweet
or fatty food, and are trying to keep
up a miserable existence on gluten pro-
ducts, should try a meal of any food or
foods in moderate amount, taking i'm
mediately afterwards a teaspoonful of
bisurated magnesia in a little hot or
cold water. This will neutrallze any
acid which may be present. or which
may be formed. and instead of the usual
feeling of uneasiness and fullness, you
will find that your food agrees with
you perfectly. Blsurated magnesla is
doubtless the best corrective and
antacid known. 1t has direct action on
the stomach: but by neutralizing the
acidity of the food contents. and thus
removing the source of the acid irrita-
tion which inflames the delicate stom-
ach lining, it does more than could
possibly be done by any drug or medl-
cine. DO not dose an inflamed and ir-
ritated stomach with drugs but get rid
Of the acid-the cause of all the
trouble. Get a little bisurated mag
nesia from your druggist. eat what you
want at your next meal, take some of
the bisurated magnesia as directed
above. aud note remarkable results.

hills of ignorance, and is, therefore,

head.
'The editor who deals fairly and
squarely with human weaknesses,
who believes that the good in the
world overbalances the evil, who de-
ponds upon truth in his work, who
defends the home against the sinful
invasion, who goes about his daily
task with no malice or envy in his
heart, who holds fact higher than fic-
ton, may not stir up as much trouble
as his tire-eatlng brother, but he will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
whatever trophies of the race he
gathers in, will have been honestly
won.
There are no primroses along the
path trod by the editor. His daily
life is one of strenuous toll. The
stuff it takes him hours to write is
swallowed by the greedy reader in
the space of few minutes-if it
