Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stom-
ach, fermentation of food, distress
after eating and indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial di-
gestors, are killing their stomachs by
inaction just as surely as the victim
of morphine is deadening and injur-
ing beyond repair every nerve in his
body.
What the stomach of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is a good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength, energy. and elias
ticity into 1t, and make il sturdy
enough to digest a hearty meal with
out artificial aid.
The best prescription for indiges-
tion ever written is sold by druggists
everywhere and by II. c. Kennedy and
is rigidly guaranteed to build up the
stomach and cure indigestion or
money back.
This prescription is named Mi-o-na,
and is sold in small tablet form in
large boxes. for only a few cents. Re-
member the name, Mi-o-na stomach
tablets. They never fail.-Advertise-

Williamsport, Pa, Dec. 10.-With
the exception of two churches and
their parsonages, all the buildings in
two large blocks in the business sec
ton of Jersey Shore were destroyed
by fire at an early hour yesterday
morning. The loss is estimated to
be nearly $55O.000
One hundred persons were driven
from their homes. many of them in
their night clothes. All escaped in
jury. Jersey Shore is grateful to
Lieutenant Frederick Johnson. who
leaves to-day for an army camp,
for his part in stopping the spread
of the flames and saving other build
ings.
For five hours johnson lay on his
stomach on the roof of q building
pouring water by means of a garden
hose, over the side of the structure,
which time and time again was
threatened by the advancing wall of
fire. One of the worst blizzards in
years was raging. several times
Johnson was nearly overcome. Wom-

stiffened limbs and revived him. In
spite of the commands of the fire

his post until the firemen had con-

Professor George W. Hamilton,
teacher of modern languages at the
Technical High school, died Sunday
morning at the family residence,
1885 Whitehall street. Death was
caused by diabetes from which he
had been suffering two years. He
was Al years old.
Mr.. Hamilton was a graduate of
Williamson Trade school in the class
of 1897. Following the completion
of the trades course he decided to
pursue a classical education at Con-
way Hall, preparing for Dickinson
college from which he graduated in
the class of 1902. The following
three years he spent at Ponce, Porto
Rico, as an instructor in the govern
ment schools. While residing at
Ponce, he made a study of the Span
ish language, and became proficient
in that tongue.
With the inception of the Har-
risburg Technical High school, Pro-
fessor Hamilton was selected as in
structor of drawing in 1905. and re-
tanned the position for three years,
and was one of the first four instruc-
tors in the school. He is credited with
having had much to do with the
early success of the school. In 1908
he was called to the position of prin-
cipal of the City Trade school at Port
land, Oregon, where he remained for
two years. Desiring to secure en-
ployment in the East. he came to
Homestead, where he was in charge
of the Schwab Industrial school.
With the growth of the Technical
High school, Mr.. Hamilton was call
ed back to this institution in 1912
as instructor of modern languages, a
position which he retained until five
weeks ago, when impaired health ne
cessitated his discontinuing teach
ing.
Mr.. Hamilton was a native of Up
land, Delaware county, and his body
will be taken to that place for bur-
ial. In addition to his wife, and s.
year-old daughter Miriam, he is sur
vived by his parents, four brothers
and one sister. The latter reside at
Upland. The deceased was a mem
Der of Masons, and belonged to the
Stevens Memorial Episcopal Church,
of which he was an active member
Brief funeral services will be held
at the house Tuesday afternoon at
$50 o'clock, conducted by the Rev.
DIR. Clayton Albert Smucker, pastor
of the Stevens Memorial Church.
Wednesday the body will be taken to
Upland, Delaware county, where fur
ther services will be held in the af-
ternoon and where burial will be
made. Mr.. Hamilton was one of the
best and most popular members of
the Tech faculty, and many express
sions of regret were spoken to-day
at the Tech school by his colleagues
and students who are grieved by mis-
untimely death.
