CALLFOR WAR
SERVICE OUT TO
EVERY NURSE
Meeting at Hospital Saturday
Night Is in Interest of
Enlistments

For the meeting of graduate
nurses to be held in the Harrisburg
Hospital Saturday night, in the in~
terest of enlistment of nurses for war
service, general invitation has been
extended to all graduate nurses of
Harrisburg and vicinity, whether
these nurses are visitors to the city
or residents. -
DR.. Jesse Lenker, who has seen
service at Fort Benjamin Harrison,
Indiana, will speak on the practical
work and the needs of nurses. Miss
FRANCES Scott, superintendent of
nurses at the Harrisburg Hospital,
and Miss G. E. Lands, superinten-
dent of the Polytechnic Hospital, will
preside at an informal discussion,
following the address.
The government has waived re-
quirement of state registration for
graduate nurses who have been grad
uated before January /, 1918 and
leading schools of the country, real
izing the need of training nurses,
have established summer schools for
nurses, notable among these schools
being Vassar, Smith and Wellesley
colleges. The alumni of these COL
leges are given an opportunity to
study nursing, and they will then
be expected to go to nursing schools
under the direction of the govern
ment, after which they will be sent
to the Army base hospitals for serv-
ice.
Members of the committee in
charge of the campaign are: Mrs.
James /. Chamberlin, chairman; Mrs.
Lyman d. Gilbert, Miss Frances
Scott Miss c. E. Lands, DR.. Jesse
Lenker, Miss Slicer, Mrs. Mabel
Cronise Jones.
Miss Jane A. Delano, national di-
rector of the department of nurs-
ing of the American Red Cross, in
commenting on the government rul-
ing mentioned above, says:
The general nursing needs of the
country can best be met by mobiliz-
ing practically our entire nursing re-
| sources through enrolment of all
graduates of registered schools
whether individually they have regis
| tered or not. Nurses can be assign
ed to classes of service for which
they are especially fitted, and many
married nurses not registered can
be inducted to enroll for nursing SER
vice in hospitals and dispensaries."
In a statement issued yesterday,
Newton d. Baker, Secretary of War,
has called upon the general public,
| civilian hospitals and graduate nurs-
es to assist in every way, the drive for
the nurses, according to Washing
ton dispatches.

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, Sourness and Pain
How To Treat

Medical authorities state that near
ly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach
trouble, indigestion, sourness, burn
ing, gas. bloating, nausea, etc, are
due to an excess of hydrochloric acid
in the stomach and not as some be-
lieve to a lack of digestive juices.
The delicate stomach lining is irri-
tated. digestion is delayed and food
sours, causing the disagreeable symp-
toms which every stomach sufferer
knows so well.
Artificial digestents are not needed
in such cases and may do real harm.
Try laying aside all digestive aids
and instead get from G. A. Gorgas or
any druggist few ounces of Bisu-
rated Magnesia and take a teaspoon
full in a quarter glass of water right
after eating. This sweetens the stom-
ach, prevents the formation of excess
acid and there is no sourness, gas or
pain. Bisurated Magnesia Gin powder
or tablet form-never liquid or milk
is harmless to the stomach, inexpen-
sive to take and is the most eff-
cient form of magnesia for stomach
purposes. 1t is used by thousands of
people who enjoy their meals with no
more fear of Indigestion.

PrOber Uncovers Sale

By .ASSocintcd Prcss


Washington. June 6.-Further evil
dence of the sale or offering for sale
of unfit meat for the Army has been
discovered by the Federal Trade
Commission. W. T. Chantland, chief
examiner declared to-day when rep
resentatives of Wilson & Company,
Chicago packers. appeared to deny
charges that they sold unfit meats.
Representatives of Wilson & Com
pany asked for an early hearing on
the charges made in a complaint the
commission had filed against them.
I'VE cannot proceed to a hearing
Immediately" said Mr.. Chantland,
because other substantial instances
are under investigation.
Il think l am justified in saying
tha they are vicious and should be
considered in this case. They go to
the very root of the indicated de-
Tense of Wilson & Company, that
the instances cited in the complaint
were sporadic and occurred through
oversight" 1t was decided to begin
the hearings asked for June IS.
