one sign of a green soldier Is his
tendency to drink too much water
whlIe on a long march. The expert
enced man gargles his mouth and
throat once in a while, but drinks
only In sips and does not overload his
stoihach with either water or food.
Atter you have arrived in camp

slowly as much as you desire. 1t is,
OF course, unwise to eat fruits, candy,

Anotnef sign of green soldier is

other equipment not neatly and Sc
curely fastened. Your comfort on
the march depends very largely on
the care and Judgment used in get
tiS ANouH' All your equipment has
been so designed that it need not
interfere with the free movement of
your arms and legs. Your pack
should be strapped to your back in
such way that you can stand erect
and breathe freely. There should be
no pressure on any of the soft parts
of the body. You will march most
easily If you keep your body erect
and do not permit yourself to slouch
or sway from side to side.
When the command is given TO
halt and fall out for few minutes
loosen your pack and rest back on it
in a sitting and lying position. If
possible, lie with your feet higher
than the head, so as to let the blood
flow out of the legs into the body
and rest your heart. During the first
few halts you may not feel tired, but
rest as completely as you can any-
way. Look forward to the end of the
march and try to handle yourself
so that you will be strong and fresh
at the finish.
At the first halt it is we'll to re-
adjust the pack or any part of the
equipment not entirely comfortable.
If your shoes or leggings are laced
too tightly, this is the time to loosen
them.
A cheerful attitude is one of the
best aids to a soldier on a trying
march. Singing and. .whistling on the
march is usually not only allowed
but encouraged. They help wonder
fully to make the long road seem
shorter.
These are all very simple rules but
none the less important. Keep them
in mind. Some men never learn eX-
cept from their own hard expert
ence; but it is expected of the men
in the National Army that they will
have the good sense to see the value
of these suggestions and to apply
them from the very beginning.

WEST SHORE NEWS
ANNEXATION WITH HARRISBURG
OR SEPARATE WEST SHORE CITY?
Important Questions Considered At Big Mass Meeting
of People From Five Boroughs and One Town
ship At Worrnleysburg Town Hall

Whether the West Shore is to be-
come part of Harrisburg or consoii-
date into a third-class city OF lts own
Is the question now before almost
every voting citizen of that district
A well-attended meeting OF Peoplo
from the 'cross-river towns was helu
last evening in the Wormieysours
town. hall. This meeting was calieu
by the West Shore f1remen Cnloi,
and was presided over ps ..
Hummel president of the union. Ar
thur Runiev. of Carlisle, former con-
pressman. was the principal speaker.
II Is the hope of the firemen union
that the question can be submitted to
the voters of the district at the NO
ven,her election. The outcome OF the
meeting last night was to declue on
other meetings in the various towns
OF the West Shore. The next meeting
will be held at Lemoyhe at oate u
be announced later.
committee was appointed to
cather data concerning the relative
valuations ON property. the relative
taxation rates and other important
matter of interest to the public. on
rhis committee the following men
were appointed: L. L. Hamacher, Le-
moyfe chairman; Thomas II. Matter
ness. Enola; the Rev. a. X. Ayres'
New Cumberland; Edward Baum
Wormleysburg. Other men Will be
annointed to this committee by Mr..
Hummel
All exponents of the move are sure
that If the West Shore becomes part
of the Capital city it will secure iree
rail service. better police protection
lever insurance rates, better schools.

cheaper water and better streets.
Many citizens of each town express
their willingness to pay higher taxes
if they become part of Harrisburg be-
cause they would receive more in re-
turn than under present conditions.
All of the Ave boroughs and one
township are burdened by taxes and
heavily in debt. The East Pennsboro
township school district alone has a
bonded indebtedness of $4,000. The
streets in all of these boroughs are
rivers of mud in the winter and citi-
zcns figure if the West Shore becomes
part of the city this will be elimi-
mated.
In his address last night, Mr.. Rup-
ley said that by anneXing to Harris
burg they would become better citi-
Zcns and the expenses would be less
ened per capita. In the smaller dis
tricts a very low percentage of the
voting population cast ballots. but If
they become a part of Harrisburg the
responsibility of voting would place
a heavier burden on the voters and
they would go to the polls and do
their duty to their community. In
further speaking of the move. Mr..
Ripley said that the question came up
sooner than he expected and warned
against letting it die out. 1t may
take several years before the dream
of the far-sighted citizens of the West
Shore is realized. but it is sure to
come. If the West Shore towns do
not annex themselves with the city
they should at least consolidate in
their one common cause and form a
city of their own, which would sooner
or later become part of greater Har-
risburg.

Food Shortage Frees
Hungary's Convicts

Copenhagen, Aug. 81. - The food
situation in Hungary has led the
Hungarian Minister of Justice to or
der the clearing out of prisoners in

to criminals sentenced to less than
two years Imprisonment whose $50

sist upon. 1t does not digest food
like pepsin but instead neutralizes
or transforms the poisonous biting
acid that has formed in your stom-
.ach and is causing you misery.
Your digestive machinery, relieved
of the hampering acid accumula-
tion does it's work without trouble.
So remarkable is the action of
bisurated magnesia in stopping
stomach distress that as a rule the
worst pain, burning or sour sensa-
tion will vanish within five minutes
from the time it reaches the stom-
ach. Any dyspeptic or stomach
sufferer can prove this easily with
a single trial and with perfect
safety as bisurated magnesia is
harmless and in this form is not
laxative.
Get a little Bisurated Magnesia
from your druggist and try 1t at
your very next meal and forget all
fear of indigestion.
