Summer Is Coming;
Beware!

What is the chief cause of the sum-
mer rash. and the reason for much of
the peevishness, and a good deal of
the light physical pain growing child
has in summer? Improper food. you
may be sure. food heavy that in
winter. overeating, too many cold
drinks. oyerripe or underripe fruit. on
a hot day-one of the dog day kind
indiscretion in food is especially dan
gerous particularly if a heavy meal
is eaten when the child comes in over
heated. \ child's food up to eight
years of age-and often later-needs
always to be of the light. easily di-
gested sort. Milk is the most natural
is refused by the youngsters because
it is poor or badly kept. Tepid milk
is nauseous mess on hot day, but
milk must not be drunk too cold either,
particularly when children are warm
and tired and are inclined to take their
beverages a gulp. II the household
has that very precious blessing, Gel
lar the best way to keep milk is to
put it in carefully cleansed and summed
bottles which can be covered, and then
set them on the, cellar floor The cool
ness of this underground chamber Will
keep milk at just the right tempera-
ture, and also preserve more of the
delicious quality than If it were put
on the ice.
"A delicate nursery powder, win the
fragra that appeals to the senses,
is an added refreshment after the
bath, and it is absolutely needed for
the children who chafe easily, or are
given to little eruptions from heat or
indigestion. Violet taicum, prepared
for nursery use. is about as good a
thing as can be had for general pur-
poses, but if the child is suffering from
summer rash this preparation would

NEWS OF STEELTON
RAILROAD AGREES
TO BUILD SEWERS
Ordinance May Be Amended on
Final Passage; Result of Com
mittee's Negotiations

That two parallel sewers will be
built TO drain the hill section of Steel
ton, north of Locust street, and that a
large section of the old Pennsylvania
canal will be abandoned and filled, as
a result of negotiations now being
made with the Pennsylvania railroad
by the highway committee of Council,
was intimated in authoritative munich
pal circles this morning.
The entire cost of this work, 1t was
said. will be paid by the railroad in
return for the right to cross three of
the borough streets with its proposed
new freight spur into the plant of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company. The
ordinance granting the company the
privilege of crossing Franklin, Cone
stoga and Trewick streets, which will
come up for final action at the next
meeting of Council, February s, will
be amended to incorporate these pro-
visions, ii was intimated.
In compliance with instructions
given at Councils meeting December
20, the highway committee has been
in negotiations with the railroad and
it is understood that the company has
agreed to build sewer or probably
two sewers to drain the section be-
tween Franklin and Locust streets and
also to bear the cost of filling the
canal As the ordinance now stands
no mention is made of either of these
matters and the measure will have
to be amended before final passage, if
these provisions are to be included.
That this will be done was intimated
this morning.

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT Of JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure. says a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid, which is
absorbed into the blood. II is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate uric acid, which
keeps accommodating and circulating
through the system, eventually settling
in the Joints and muscles, causing stiff
ness, soreness and pain called rheu-
matism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put Tablespoons
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
NAL action, thus ridding the blood of
these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia,
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent lithia-water drink
which helps overcome uric acid and Is
beneficial to your kidneys as WE'LL

CATARRH CAUSED
BY A GERM
How to Destroy the Germ and End
the Disease,

Medicine that acts on the blood
alone Will never cure catarrh. And
neither will the sprays. douches. To-
tions, creams and other temporary re-
liefs that so many catarrh victims
make Il habit of using. To cure ca
tarrh so 1t won't come back you must
first kill the millions OF germs that
are flourishing in the inner recesses
of your nose and throat and are caus-
ing the disease.
There is a preparation used to do
this called Hyomei pronounced High
o-me). Hyomei is Il germ killing vap-
oriZed air formed from the purest
oil of Eucalyptus combined with other
healing and antiseptic ingredients.
You breathe Hyomei through q little
hard rubber inhaler which druggists
furnish with it, This medicated germ
icidaI air penetrates into every fold
and crevice of the mucous membrane
of your nose and throat. kills the ca
| tarrh germs that lodge there, .soothes
and heals the swollen infiamed men,
hranes, and opens up the clogged nose
and air passages in truly wonderful
way. 1t gives blessed relief in five
minutes from catarrhal distress and
! if you make a practice of breathing
| IHyomei for a few minutes each day
not only will all the symptoms Of ca
tarrh vanish but the disease itself will
soon be "a thing of the past. No one
need try or buy Hyomei on pure faith.
III. c. Kennedy and many other lead
ling druggists in Harrisburg and vicin-
! ity sell 1t with the positive guarantee
that IL must cure catarrh or your
money back. Hyomei Is inexpensive
and with this protecting guarantee be-
hind your purchase there is absolutely
no reason why any sufferer from Ca
tarrh should not give 1t fair trial.

State Capitol to-day. The sessions
were called to order by Secretary of
Agriculture Charles L. Patton and
after reports showing conditions in
the raising of cereals and fruits Col.
Woodward submitted the report on
highways.
The report declared that the auto
mobile had become "a wonderful en-
gine of destruction" to the highways
of the State and that the Highway De-
partment should be supported in it's
effort to work out a solution. The
report called for State aid both in en-
cheering and money for the township
roads, but was against elimination of
township officers, although recognizing
system. Enough money has been
wasted in working road taxes and
there should be a simplification of
road laws, which were declared to be
in many instances complex, over
tapping and often lily considered" and
marked by intricate verbosity."
The township road bureau act was
upheld, criticisms OF some of its fea-
lures being declared unfounded. Rec
ommendation was made for more
State money for removal of toll gates
which were denounced as moss
grown relics OF pioneer days" and
whose existence was declared a re-
