tation among the local members to-
ward the home body and was called
largely to hear the report of Mr..

sessions at South Bend, Ind. and was
made u second degree member. The
report proved that the order is in a
prosperous and flourishing condition,
that the membership has gained sew
eral thousand during the past year
and that the financial attitude of its
officers is above reproach. Mr.. Web
ster made personal investigation OF
the orders books to prove to local
members the results of his visit.

Dear Family:
1 suppose it's been over a week
since 1 last wrote you. but our section
has been so busy that I've scarcely
gotten time to do much writing.
There has been big French attack
on, and so, of course. that meant
work for us. When there Is Dig

we have to work as long and as fast
as we can until they are all eVacu-
ated, l. e., taken from the Post de
Secour to the ambulance de trlage OF
asserting post. In thelast attack we
evacuated about 500 wounded. The
attack was a big success and the
French took about a thousand prls-
oners, As our Post de Secour is
right up on the lines all the prls-
oners came there first, so l had my
first sight of the Germans and even
spoke to some. It's great sport try
ing out your German on them. l got
several Boche buttons and helmet
from them. The French were just
tickled to death with their success
and slapped each other on the shoul-
ders and yelled to everyone on the
road what they had done. After they
take away all the German things for
souvenirs they feed them and treat
them like kings; you see them sit
ting around laughing and talking
Just as If they had been friends for

prisoners at all. You see one

side by side with a dozen Boches;
anyhow, the Boches are glad to be

the attack, in fact I've had few

a piece of 1t. bursted my front light
and another made the tail end of my
car look like a sieve, but they didn't
get me. It's all over so quickly that
YOU don't even get time to get scared.
OF course, they don't shoot at us
purposely. but we have to go along
the road with the supply wagons and
these are always shot at. But this
is at night. In the day time they
leave us alone.
Escapes by Inches
The worst thing I am scared of
is driving at night on crowded road

Dangerous Stomach Acids That
Make Your Food Ferment and Sour
Cause Gas and Indigestion
The Contents of An Acid Stomach Should be Neutrazed and
Sweetened-Never Artifcally Digested Say Physicians.

Medical authorities everywhere
are now practically agreed that
nearly nine -tenths of the cases of
stomach trouble, dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, heartburn. sour stomach,
gastric catarrh, bloating, nausea,
etc. are caused not by a lack of
digestive juices or by imperfect
digestive organs, but to an excess
sively acid condition of the stom-
ach.
Nearly everyone who has stom-
ach trouble, they say, carries
about a glassful or more of this
powerful hydrochloric acid in their
stomach which is constantly irri-
tating and inflaming the delicate
stomach lining, souring their food,
creating gas on the stomach. de-
laying digestion and causing the
distressing symptoms so frequent

Instead of forcing the sour acid
food from the stomach to intes-

VIOLATORS OF
TRAFFiCLAWS
GIVEN FINES
Police Determined to Break
Up Speeding and Driving
Without Lights

Numerous offenders were before
Alderman Nicholas yesterday after
noon charged with speeding, driving
cars without lights, and using the
streets of the city for parking pur-
poses. In every instance fine of So
was imposed.
Officers report that there is wide
disregard of the laws applying to
motorists and drivers OF trucks. and
determined egort will be made to
bring all offenders before the court.
1t has been the custom of Alder
man Nicholas to impose a light fine
for the first offense, but violators are
warned that heavy fine may be
imposed for subsequent offenses.
The laws of the city which pro-
vide that cars may be parked only
in certain sections of the business
thoroughfares, that cars must not
be allowed to stand on any street
after a certain hour without lights,
be used as substitute for a garage,
were placed upon the statute books
OF Harrisburg for the protection of
the citizens, Alderman Nicholas has
repeatedly pointed out, when impos-
ing fines.
One jitney driver was before the
magistrate yesterday afternoon,
charged with using the street in
front of his residence as a parking
place for his car after business
hours. The car had been left with
out lights repeatedly, according to
officer Cole, who lighted the front
lamps upon two different occasions.
The driver of the car offered as an
excuse that he was not familiar with
the law. The alderman told him that
all jitney drivers should be familiar
with the traffic rules of this city,
and in this instance, at least, ignor-
ance of the law was not accepted as
an excuse.
The driver of one of Russ Broth
ers' trucks was charged with driving
through the subway at $50 in the
evening, without lights. The driver
was not present, a member of the
firm appearing for him. Mr.. Russ
said that three men were on the
car in question at the hour named.
and all three insisted that the lights
were not out. After Chief of Police
Wetzel made a few observations to
the effect that more complaints are
made against drivers of Russ Broth
ers than any other concern in the
city, Mr.. Russ paid the fine.

Brick Company Organized

In sixty days the Silica Brick Com
pany, with a capital of $4,000, was

eral thousands of acres of land in the
Mount Union section. In September
work on the erection of a silica brick
Plant was started at Mount Union. Six
months lated found it completed. sid
ings, incline and all. In February of
the following year. less than twelve
months after the exploring expedition.
the plant started operation with a
capacity of $4,000 bricks per day.
The original members of this con-
Germ, the Silica Brick Company, were
Sco.. Dibert. of Johnstown. president;
Charles H. Suppes. of Johnstown, sec
retary treasurer; William II. Haws, OF
Johnstown, general manager. T. Cole

the other men who made up the quin-
tet of stockholders. Less than a year
after the plant started operation,
S135, 900 was paid for it by the Har-
rison and Walker Company.
Mount Union. which received it's
first impetus with the location of the
Silica Brick Company there, is now
one of the progressive little towns
of the Juniata Valley.

so matters dragged through thirteen

their holdings at $500 per share, eight
times its par value: $7S4.0OO was paid
for the property.

INTERESTING PAPER
Read by Mr.. J. Foster Barbour at the
Reception In the Centennial Cele-
bratiOn Of the Presbyterian
Church on Monday Night.

The following is the very interesting
paper read by Mr.. J. Foster Barbour,
President of the Bank Of Maysville, at
the Centennial Celebration Of the First
Presbyterian Church in Maysville on
Monday night:
l have been connected with this
church for 65 years having entered its
Sabbath School in the summer of 1852.
My father moved to Maysville in
1852 during the Passionate of DR.. r. C.
Grundy. deeply regret that A. jan
uary Grundy, his son, my life long
friend, has been prevented by i'll
health from attending this Centennial.
He remembers the old church which
was burned on the lot now occupied
by the Opera House, and he has a
good memory and could give most
interesting account of the period, l
am going to cover, and much more
than / am able to do. Do not imagine
i am going to attempt any real his
tory, simply few general recollec-
lions of the period principally, during
the Passionate of DR.. Grundy and up
to the time of the Civil War.
When we first came, the upper room
r was not completed and the congrega-
ton worshiped in the lower room. The
upper room was plastered by Mays
vile mechanics. have always ad-
mired the decoration in the center OF
the ceiling-the cornice around the
room and the columns and work back
of the pulpit.
The congregations during this per-
iod were large. Everybody came to
church-morning and night-a great
many of the heads of families were
not members Of the church. They
used to be jocularly referred to as
''brothers-inlaw of the church" l
remember more than half dozen
prominent citizens in this class-and
/ have been surprised that they were
so punctual in attendance on the SER
vices with their families, when many
of them were Club Men, some Liquor
Dealers and all out of sympathy with
DR.. Grundy's ideas. He was outspok-
en- in his denunciation of dancing
and wine and cards."
His position on these subjects
caused antagonism in the Community
and on one occasion he was assault
ed in very cowardly manner by
prominent man, not member Of his
church for something he had said in
the pulpit, which left scars on his
face. which he wore as long as he
lived.
DR.. Grundy was aggressive, perfect
ly fearless and a warrior for any cause
he espoused. The discipline in the
church during this latter part of his
passionate, and suppose during all of
his pastorate, was very severe. l re-
member one instance when my sympa-
thies were aroused for woman who
was present, when her husbands eX-
pulsion from the church was an
nounced to the congregation. The
member who was expelled, was the
brother-in-law of the pastor who read
the edict
