Skin foods and face creams and
powders cannot make n woman beau

cases the basis of health and the
cause of sickness can be traced to the
action of the bowels.
The headache, the lassitude, the sal
low skin, and the lusterless eyes are
usually caused by constipation. An

STEELTON AND NEARBY TOWNS
URGE BUILDING
OF MORE HOMES
Municipal League Suggests
Formation of Cooperative
Construction Company

Formation of an association to erect
new homes in Steelton and early action
on the further development of Luther
r. kelker park were urged by the
Municipal League at it's monthly meet
ing last evening.
So great has become the demand for
moderate priced homes that ii was de-
clared there isn't a single desirable
home in the borough now for rent and
that quite a number of men employed
in the borough have been compelled to
take up their residence elsewhere.
To remedy these conditions the Mu-
nicipal League decided to give what
assistance it can to carrying out a
plan for the formation of a CO.
operative building association.
President Harry c. Wright made a
lengthy report on the convention of
the American Civic Association in
Washington, December 2S-29, to which
he was a delegate. He also reported
that large number of tables and
some benches for Luther r. Kelker
park have been completed and will be
placed soon.

During the past week he has held
several conferences with those direct
ing the deal and while no information
is obtainable on the subject it is be-
lieved he has agreed to part with the
$4,000 or $4,000 shares of Gambia that
he now possesses.
In the event of his handing over the
reins to Mr.. Replogle the president of
Cambria and of Donner Steel would
not be left in the cold. The Donner
Steel Company, he believes, can be
made a good proposition, and then
he has quite a large holding in Penn
sylvania Steel and may be dickering
for control. The failure of the mer-
ger promoters to settle the deal before
this date has disgusted many small
holders of Cambria and recently this
class has liquidated
