An Old Mans Stomach

As we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. II too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When man reaches
the advanced age of So or 90, you
will find that he is light eater. Be
as careful as you will, however, you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable 1t to perform its
functions naturally. They also cause
a gentle movement of the bowels.

After Long Delays
American Arms Will
Be Finest in World

Washington, Dec. 21.-From the
gloomy picture of war department in
competence, indecision, confusion
and consequent delay in all war pre-
parations, drawn by the witnesses
appearing before the Senate mill
tary affairs committee, one feature
stands out as a cause for rejoicing
1t is that if the United States Army
is ever fully equipped and the men
under training, to represent the force
and spirit of the nation on the bat
tlefronts are made ready to exert
themselves, they will have the best
rifles, machine guns and ammuni-
ton that the war has known.
This fact has been testified to by
all the arms manufacturers and all
the Army experts. 1t is the sole fact
which saves the War Department
from utter condemnation and relieves
it in a slight degree of the charges
of having entirely wasted the valu-
able time since the declaration of
war.
Contracts for arms and ammuni-
ton have been seriously delayed.
While the danger to the nation was
constantly increasing, the War De-
partment, instead, of providing the
men sent to France with adequate
equipment, continued to hesitate and
experiment.
But when the contracts were final
ly let, the witnesses have shown they
were for rifles that will bf better
than any now in use either by the
allies or by the Germans, machine
guns that will be the best ever turn
ed out and ammunition better than
that of the Germans and far superior
to that of France and Great Britain,
which is inferior to that of Germany.
But there will not be an adequate
supply of the rifles until next spring,
there will be no machine guns until
later, and in the meantime, the
forces abroad are dependent upon the
overburdened French for both ma
chine guns and artillery. The Senate
committee has been told that France
has no surplus of these weapons.

May Not Wear Jewelry;
Colored Laces Instead

London. Dec. 21.-Girl workers in
the danger buildings at Woolwich
arsenal are not allowed to wear jew
elry. They have therefore, hit on
the idea of wearing colored shoe
laceS.
The Cap Shop girls appeared one
morning with bright emerald green
ribbons on their shoes much to the
envy of other departments. The next
morning the whole factory was in
the fashion, says Doctor A. K. Fox
well, the principal supervisor.
Shoes were tied with blue, pink,
red, white ribbons; with any thing
but the government boot lace of un-
tanned leather. The fashion spread
10 the office and women clerks pa
raded the platform during the dinner
hour with resplendent shoe laces.

City Darkened For First
"Lightless Night" Of Wal

With the exception of a few de-
linquent property owners and bust
ness places street lights were the only
ones that cleaned on the streets of
Harrisburg last night Thursday and
Sunday has been decreed by the Ma
tional Fuel Administration the light
less nights all over the country, and
{ last night was Harris sburgs first
g lightless night. The business section
of the city was generally unlighted
with the exception of the lights in
the windows of the stores that were
open for business.
Some few delinquent householders
burned porch lights, and one or two
of the theaters displayed illumina-
tlon in front of their buildings. By
the next lightless night 1t is probable
that all delinquents will have been
notified and the lights will not gleam
1 i'm the forbidden places.

Rice From 1OOO-Year Old
Seed For Japan's Ruler

: Toxic, Dec. 21.-Rice grown di-
rectly from seed grain 1000 years
old will be served the Emperor of
Japan when he attends the autumn
maneuvers of the Japanese army in
Shiga prefecture this fall. The an
cient rice grains were found inside
wooden image of Vaisravana in a
little Buddhist temple in the village
of 1wame.
Vaisravana is the god of wealth,
and his image has become so old as
ITO need repairing. In the course of
doing this there was found inside a
fiaxen bag containing the seed and a
paper with the following instruction
in ancient Chinese characters:
This image has been carved for
the peace of the world. If any one
of a later generation open it he
should put in new seed" From the
artistic style of the carving and the
traditions relating to the image, it
was estimated that the seeds were
! 1000 years old. They were planted
and yielded a good crop.
