A SPOONFUL OF
SALTS RELIEVES
ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat, which
clogs Kidneys, says
noted authority
If back hurts or Bladder bothers,
stop all meat for
while

When YOU wake up with backlche
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means YOU have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworkS the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyZed
and loggy. When YOUR kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels;
removing all the body's urinous
waste. else YOU have backache, sick
headache. dizzy spells; your stomarh
SourS, tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad YOU have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and YOU are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia.
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates. thus
ending bladder weakness.

lar meat eaters 1t is inexpensive.

CUT THIS OUT
Old ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA
TARRH. Catarrhal. DEAF
NESS AND HEAD NOISES

If You know. someone who is
troubled with head noises, or Catar-
rhal Deafness. cut out this formula,
and hand it to them and you may
have been the means of saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. We believe that Catarrh, Ca
tarrhal Deafness, head noises, etc, are
caused by constitutional disease, and
that salves. sprays, inhalers. etc,
merely temporize with the complaint
and seldom, if ever effect permanent
cure. This being so, much time has
been spent in perfecting a cure,
gentle, yet effective tonic that should
quickly dispel all traces of the ca
tarrhal poison from the system. The
effective prescription which was even
tually formulated is given below in an
understandable form so that anyone
can use 1t in their own home at little
expense.
Secure from your druggist 1 OF.
Parmint Double Strength. Take this
home and add to it 4 pint of hot
water and OF. of granulated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table
spoonful four times a day.
The first dose should begin to re-
lleve the distressing head noises
headache, dullness. cloudy thinking.
etc, while the hearing should rapidly
return as the system is invigorated
by the tonic action of the treatment
Loss of smell and mucus dropping in
the back of the throat are other
symptoms that show the presence of
catarrhal poison, and which are often
overcome by this effcacious treat
ment. If nearly ninety per cent. of
all ear troubles are directly caused
by catarrh, there must be many peo-
PIE whose hearing may be restored
by this simple home treatment
Every person who is troubled with
head noises. catarrhal deafness. or ca
tafrh IN any form. should give this
prescription trial.-Advertiseme

SCARCITY
GROWS SERIOUS
Tech Students Work Satur-
days and Sundays at Enola;
More Men Badly Needed

With big cuts in their working
forces and more to come, according
to reports, the Pennsylvania railroad
is facing more trouble on account of
lack of help. Outside of the clerical
departments men are needed in every
branch. Shop and roundhouse forces
are inadequate to take care of the
work. Brakemen are scarce Not
withstanding the fact that scouts are
travelling all over the United States
in search of help, scarcity prevails
that is causing officials no little wor-
riment
In this city men are being hired
regardless of age. Every plan pos
sible is being worked out to get
help. over at Enola every Satur-
day and Sunday a small army of
Tech High school boys are employed.
Their studies do not permit them to
do daily work. The Pennsy officials
are glad to get their help on Satur-
days and Sundays. The students are
glad to earn the money.
Employment Bureaus
The company has a bureau of en-
ployment working day and night. AT
all terminals there are branch en-
ployment bureaus. Frequently the 10
cal bureau has found Unnecessary to
seek the aid of an outside agency
in the effort to get men. The other
day an urgent. request came to Sc
cure two good men for clerical posi-
tions in Pittsburgh. The salary of
fered was $50 per month for each.
This city was searched thoroughly
but no person could be found willing
to accept the position. 1t is said hat
many young men in Harrisburg who
work when they can get away from
studies are making 80 and 35 cents
an hour. At intervals it is necessary
to take trainmen from their crews
and put them at yard service and
other duties.

causing intense pain or burning.
The forcing of food from stomach
to intestines with artificial digest

may very easily follow. Instead the
stomach should be given a magnesia
bath to clean out the acios, sweeten

PENROSE GOES
TO HUNT BEAR
Says Fight Was Won by Town

I'VE have been doing some tall

Boies Penrose during a brief stop in
Harrisburg this afternoon on his way
from Philadelphia to Snyder county
by automobile. The Senator was ac-
companied by Auditor General
Charles A. Snyder and Prothonotary
II. r. Walton
There's no question who was
elected in Philadelphia" said the
Senator, when asked about the Phil
adelphia situation. The Town Meet
ing ticket was elected and when the
soldiers votes are in it will be seen
that it wins by a handsome majority
| am informed that a contest is to
be started to have the votes belong
ing to the Town Meeting party given
to it.
The face of the returns show the
desperate methods used to defeat the
Town Meeting ticket and | guess by
this time everyone knows why the
attacks were made on nomination pa

Another gratifying feature was
the unanimity of the newspapers. l

George A. Persch, charged with en-
bezzlement and misdemeanor, was
given a hearing before Judge Brown
was held in $4,000 bail for trial.

lmination of his books failed to show
my record of receipt of money for
fines and warrants.
The misdemeanor charge grew out
of Persch's alleged illegal discharge
