fort to put the Boyer bill on the spe-
cial calendar an attempt was made
by Mr.. Heffernan, Philadelphia, to
call up the bill abolishing state taxes
on city, county and other district
bonds. There were several objec-
tions and Mr.. Ramsey moved to sus-
pend the rules to consider the bill.
The effort to get the bill before the
House was defeated.
A clash between Philadelphia and
upstate members occurred over OBJ
jections to calling up bills out of
order. Philadelphia members had
objected and Mr.. woodward, Allie
gheny, declared that Philadelphia
men had asked the same privilege
and might ask 1t again. Il would
advise them not to press objections"
said he.
Just before the House adjourned
the night session it defeated the pro-
posed constitutional amendment to
permit excess condemnation of prop
erty to protect public Improvements.
This was Philadelphia bill but up
state members declared it would ap-
ply to all counties. Mr.. Hecht. Phil
adelphia, offered to amend it in the
Senate to restrict its application, but
the objectors would not agree to 1t.

GAS|N THE STOMACH
IS DANGEROUS
Recommends Daily Use of Magnesia
To Overcome Trouble, Caused
by Fermenting Food and
Acid Indigestion

Gas and wind in the stomach ac-
companied by that full bloated feel
ing after eating are almost certain
evidence of the presence of excessive
hydrochloric acid in the stomach,
creating so called "acid indigestion"
Acid stomachs are dangerous be-
cause too much acid irritates the deli
cate lining of the stomach often lead
ing to gaStritis accompanied by seri-
Gus stomach ulcers. Food ferments
and sours creating the distressing gas
which distends the stomach and hamp-
ers the normal functions of the vital
internal organs, often affecting the
heart.
1t is the worst of folly to neglect
such a serious condition or to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which
have no neutralizing effect on the
stomach acids. Instead get from any
druggist a few ounces of Bisurated
Magnesia and take a teaspoontul in a
quarter glass of water right after eat
ing. This will drive the gas, wind
and bloat right out of the body,
sweeten the stomach, neutralize the
excess acid and prevent its formation
and there is no SourneSs or pain. Bis
urated Magnesia Gin powder or tablet
form-never liquid or milky is harm
less to the stomach, inexpensive to
take and the best form of magnesia
for stomach purposes. 1t is used by
thousands of people who enjoy their
meals with no more fear of indiges-

An effort to limit all speeches on
bills on third reading or final pas
sage in the House the remainder of
the session to five minutes was voted
down at the night session. Mr..
Smith, Bedford, made the motion
after a number of speeches had
been made on minor bills.
The House passed a number of
Senate appropriation bills and the
following:

the calendar.
The House passed finally the
Simpson bill providing for licenses
for dredging from streams and then
cleared its second reading calen-
dar.
A motion to strike the one dollar
fishermen's license from the calen-
dar caused an hours debate just be-
fore the close of the afternoon ses-
sion of the House and when the
drive had been defeated, 81 to rs,
the bill was laid over. Mr.. Albee,
Potter, chairman of the fishermen's
committee. declared the bill would
raise S35O,000 and make the Fisher
les Department self-supporting, but
several members attacked it as
interfering with poor mans sport
while the Fisheries Department
came in for criticism because of
stream pollution. Mr.. Strauss, Berks,
made the motion to drop the bill.
The Buckman bill changing auto
mobile licenses was reported to the
House from the roads committee
with most of the provisions chang
ed. The amended bill established a
/ minimum fee of ten dollars, but the
principal increases of licenses are
on trucks. The section requiring
separate licenses for owners and

ARMY NEEDS ALL
AT FORT NIAGARA
U. S. to Give Commission to
Men Who Finish Siren
uous Training

Fort Niagara, N. Y. June al
Every man remaining in camp here
at the end of the term will find
place in the regular army. Almost
daily calls are received here for
drafts for some branch of the service
where men are wanted imm ediately.
and these are being filled as we'll as
the staff officers are able to do 1t.
The latest request coming from the
War Department was received to-day
and asked for five men who are grad
uate mechanical engineers. These
men are wanted at the Springfield
arsenal to take positions where ma
chine guns are manufactured. They
will be trained in the manufacture
and handling of machine guns and
are sure of being commissioned as
| first lieutenants, or possibly captains.
1t was stated to-day by one of the
camp staff officers that there will be
ample room in the first conscription
army for all the men remaining in
| camp who pass the required exami-
nation. Ten per cent. of the total
camp roster will be drawn into the
expansion army. while IS men from
each company will be used in the
army to be modified on September
! l. The remaining men winning COM
missions will be used in the aviation
corps and the other departments.
About 120 men have gone home to
date and men are going every day,
Captain Fred S. Strong, Jr., post ad-
| jutant, said to-day.
The camp is being conducted on
strict disciplinary lines. Among
] those who returned to their homes
1 to-day was one man who had re-
sented the enforcing of discipline,
while tomorrow two men who are
accused of violating a camp rule are
to be brought up before the COM
manding officer and it is probable
they will be given their discharges.
They tipped a waiter in their mess
hall. This broke one of the rules
| imposed by the commanding officer
al the opening of the camp, and any
violation of the rules of the camp is
sufficient cause for dismissal.
Beginning with the parade yester-
day, the companies were placed in
charge of student officers. including
captains and first lieutenants and
second lieutenants as we'll as line
officers. This was to try the men.
and, according to Colonel w. Miller,
they made a terrible mess of it. All
kinds of excuses were offered, but
the parade was a ''mess," neverthe-
less. 1t was tried out again this
afternoon with a little more success.
