bad FOUNDATION HALTS
WORK ON POWER PLANT
Government Heating and Lighting
Building Delayed in Construction.

Although work on the government
lighting. heating and power building, at
Fourteenth street and the Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks southwest was stopped
several months ago. it does not mean the
abandonment Of the site or that the work
will not be completed within the time
limit set, according to Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Byron r. Newton.
Work was begun on the foundations
Of the building last April when a few
piles were driven, in accordance with the
plans which had been prepared by the L.
B. Stilfwell Company. a contracting con-
Germ In New York City. About the same
time test borings were made to ascertain
the character of the ground on which
the building is to stand, and 1t was found
that the original plans would have to be
revised on account of large quantities Of
gravel and boulders which were discov-
cred when the test holes were dug.
Treasury officials last July ordered the
P. F. Gormley Company. of this city, the
contractors OF the building, to stop work
until revised plans could be prepared In
the office Of the supervising architect,
Treasury Department, which would meet
the conditions as they were found to ex-
ist- These plans will be completed very
shortly, and the work of driving piles to
support the foundations will be resumed.

TONE UP YOUR STOMACH

There is no tonic for the stomach that
is not tonic for every other part of
the body. But the stomach depends,
as does every other organ, on the blood
for its energy.
There can be no perfect digestion with
out rich, red blood. This is scientif-
ically true. The way then to tone up
the stomach is TO enrich the blood.
If your digestion is off and your blood
is thin there can be no question about
it. You need DIR. Williams Pink Pills
to restore the condition of your blood,
use care in the selection of your diet
and the stomach trouble will take care
ofitself.
Stomach trouble is debilitating. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills are a tonic and
build up the weakenedsystem generally.
Most stomach remedies try to digest
your food for you. How much better
it is to tone up the stomach SO that it
will do its own work as nature intend
cd. There is no pleasure in eating pre-
digested food. Tone up your stomach
and your appetite and digestion will
soon be normal.
A diet book will be sent free on re-
quest by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own
druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink Pills
or box will be sent by mail, postpaid,
on receipt of fifty cents.

HANDY STOMACH
REMEDY TO HAVE
ABOUT THE HOME
Instantly stops indigestion, gas,
sourness, Heartburn or
acidity.
The moment "Pape's Diapepsin"
reaches the stomach all
distress goes.

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack OF indi-
gestion, acid stomach, dyspepsia or
some form of stomach trouble, why
don't you keep Pape's Diapepsin in
the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you eat without the slightest
discomfort, and overcome sour,
gassy stomach in five minutes.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula plainly printed on these
50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then
you will readily see why it makes
indigestion, sour stomach, heartburn
and other distress go in five minutes
and relieves at once such miserieS as
belching of gas, eructations of sour
undigested food, nausea, headaches,
dizziness, constipation and other
stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from indigestion and dys-
pepsia or an out-of-order stomach
with the common everyday cures
advertised that they have about made
up their minds that they have some
thing else wrong, or believe theirs is
a case of nervousness, gastritis, catarrh
of the stomach or cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, what you eat does
not digest; instead, it ferments and
sours, turns to acid, gas and stomach
poison, which putrefy in the digestive
tract and intestines, and, besides, poi
son the breath with nauseous odors.
A hearty appetite, with thorough
digestion, and without the slightest
discomfort or misery of the stomach
is waiting for you as soon as you
decide to try Pape's Diapepsin.

COUNCIL To AID
IMPROVEMENTS
Ordinance to Eliminate Over
head Wires and Poles Comes
Up Tonight

Steelton's borough council this
evening will take another step i.
big plan to improve the borough and
bring 1t up to it's proper place in the
sun.
The borough fathers will have q
number of improvement measures be-
fore them, not the least important
of which will be the measure intro
duced at the suggestion of Council
man T. T. McEntee providing for the
elimination of all overhead wires and
all poles in the borough. This measure
Is now in the hands of the ordinance
committee and will likely be submitted
to council this evening.
The ordinance has the endorsement
of the Municipal League, Steelton
Merchants Association and promin-
ent citizens. 1t provides for elimina-
ton of all poles in Front and Second
street and the lighting of these thor
oughfares with standard lights.
1t is possible that action will be
taken this evening on the purchase
of motor fire apparatus and it is likely,
at least, that the special committee in
charge of his project will report at
this session.
An ordinance for the annexation
of the Pine Street Extension will also
likely be introduced and passed first
reading. Council has already express
ed its approval of this step and no
time will be lost in taking this thriv-
ing locality into the borough folds.
