Stone Which Is Cast Has
Advantages That Commend

Who built the Pyramids and how
they were built may remain an un-
solved problem. but how to build stone
and how to get it in any desired shape
and of the same durability as granite
or marble. that, of course. has resolved
itself into simple matter, and it is
not necessary to go out of Harrisburg
to prove how effectively il is being
done. The trimmed stone on the
Standard Baking Company building
suggests an industry in Harrisburg
that may not get into the spotlight
of publicity very often, but is usually
in evidence when big things are being
done. One usually things of stone
from a quarry where the drill, the
blast or the saw are used to get and
shape the product which it has taken
ages to produce. But right here in
Harrisburg it is produced in jiffy but
is said to last for ages Nature doesn't
seem to be able TO put much over on
Science, when the latter gets real earn
estly on the job. Just imagine a COM
position of water, cement and pow
dered stone in proper proportions be-
ing cast in a mould similar TO molten
iron. AS it dries IL solidifies with age
and is said to become more durable
than the natural stone. AS there is
no sand in the composition tic stone
does not absorb water and therefore
is frost proof. Samuel T.. MentZer is
president. and general manager of the
company. For fifteen years he has
specialized on cast stone work, and
a force of men are constantly at work
making trimming stone for public
buildings and the finer dwellings.

Dust Elimination Is
Essential in Bakery

Believing cleanliness to be OF para

tract with the Norman c. Hayner Co.,

Dust Proof" floor dressing, for an
enormous quantity of their product.
Dust Proof is an oil dressing
which prevents the accumulation of
germ breeding dust and foreign mat
ter. all of which is disastrous to the
well-kept bakery.
This dressing was selected in spite
of it's higher cost, for it was necessary
to have a dressing that would not

does not soil the clothing of the work
men-which insures absolute cleanli-
ness at all times where it is used.

The New Department Store
Tausig Sons. the jewellers, who have
taken out a permit to remodel 43O
Market street for the new Salllin sub
way department store, figure on the
first cost of $4,000, but il is said that
the operation may run to twice that
sum before ii is finished. Then, too,
there is the Sylvan Heights Orphanage

that famous structure some months
back, but the Catholics of the Harris
burg diocese went promptly to the
rescue and permit calling for
changes, renovations and so on to the
extent of $4,000 is already of record
in the city's bureau of building inspec-
tion.
AS for new buildings. there are four
2 u STORY brick dwellings, numbered
1504-10 Briggs street, which Charles
Barnhart will build. He got the per-
nit costing $4,000, only a few weeks

during the last few days he got per-
nit to build eight dwellings of pressed
brick to be numbered 1923-37 Chest

of 1915 is bound to go down among

operations.

The Senator believes the plot known

the most serviceable and the best
adapted for the purpose.
II do not want to be considered as

reasons. One is that the School Board

that our people have been making en-

1916 REALTY OPERATIONS
ARE $4,000 AHEAD OF 1915

With the end of the first quarter Of
1916 still some two weeks distant
Harrisburgs building operations have
already topped the entire initial three
months of last year by nearly $4,000.
And there are prospects, according
to officials of the building inspection
bureau, contractors and realty men,
of some more mighty big permits to
be asked for before the end of March.
January was an exceptionally big
month, especially for the first month
of the new year, February fell away
q trife as compared to the similar
month of 1915, but March figures thus
far have scared way and beyond the
estimated total of permits for March
a year ago.
The Big Job
To-day's big boost of some $13,-
900 for the extensions, additions, re-
modelling. etc, of Covenant Presbyte-
rian Church has boosted the March
total thus far to close to $13O,00O.
And among the larger permits due
this month according to contractors,
will be the request for the new j. b.
Montgomery warehouse that is TO be
located on Tenth street below Market
street. Just as soon as the necessary
siding arrangements can be completed
it is understood, the warehouse job
will be started.
March records up until yesterday
showed an expenditure for buildings
of S96,500 with the Covenant church
permit of $4,000 expected early to-
day. In March, 1915, the entire months
total was but $152.750. February
Of 1916, showed a total outlay of SAL
460 while in 1915 the estimated eX-
penditure for buildings was S3S, S,425.
In building history, however, Janu-
ary's record will stand out pre-emi-
nently for some years to come; Just
$S0.575 represented that months
business, while for the same month of
1915. the total permits called for but
$7575. Consequently the total thus
far for the first quarter approXimates
S243,535 as compared to S19S,750 for
the entire quarter ending March 81,
1915, gain of something more than
$4,000.
More to Come
Incidentally some mighty requests
for permission to build may be filed

xANURTCI" e
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head OF the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
n. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce'S
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared TO it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of inham-
nation as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urinatlon, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely "Anuric"
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the Joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
30 frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package of
wAnuric," manuf lctured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for free
sample. III you suspect kidney or blad-
der trouble, send him sample of your
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
DR.. Pierce will report to you, without
fee or charge.
NOTE - French scientists affirm that
UAnuric" is thirty seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is q harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box-o or
more in extreme cases as "Anuric"
(thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievementl
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.
DIR. Pierce's Pellets are the original
little Liver Pills. One little Pellet for
a laxative-three for cathartic.
