Perdix Residents Raise
SIS to Give to Red Cross

Not to be outdone by neighboring
towns, PerdiX residents have given
evidence that they are trying to do
their bit by presenting check to the
Harrisburg chapter of the Red Cross
20 'he amount of $55.05. This sum
was contributed by the cottagers
summermg at PerdiX and their
friends. The collections were made
under the auspices of the Sunday
evening song service and the acting
committee included Mrs. Edward B.
Black, Mrs NJ. H. Baker, Miss Mary
Miller, Miss Edna Shope and Miss
Esther Jane Adams. One year ago
PerdiX contributed SIS to the Red
Cross and the willing spirit of the
cottagers to contribute is shown by
the increase for this year.
Perdix has two boys who are serv-
ing in the interest of their country.
Paul and James Shope whose father
conducts The song service. Word
was received a few days ago by Mr..
and Mrs. Shope that their son Paul
had arrived safely in France.

School Board May Act
on Military Training
Plan at Next Meeting

Military training as an optional
course in the city High schools, will
receive careful consideration by of
hcials at the next meeting of the
Harrisburg school board. The formal;
offer of the services of the Harris
burg Reserves in drilling the youths
OF Tech and Central High schools
Will be acted upon at that time
The formal offer of the Reserves
service in drilling the youths has not
been received from Major H. NJ.
Stine, the commandant, but is ex-
pected within the next few days. The
conditions attached to the Reserves
plan have not yet been made known
to DR.. f. L. Downes, city superin-
tendent of schools, and until the
formal offer is received, he refuses
TO comment on it.
The general belief is that military
training will be instituted as an op-
tlonal course for both Central and
Iech High school during the term,
and may be authorized at the COM
ing meeting of the directors
But for a military ruling the estab-
lishment of military drill in the
High schools would now be GER
tainty. Several weeks ago DR.. f. E.
Downes announced that the accept
ance of the offer of the Harrisburg
recruiting station to detail men to
drill High school youths, would still
hold good for this fall. This drill was
prevented, however, by a military
ruling which prevents recruiting
station men from doing this work
now.

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

Medical authorities state that near
" 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 irrita-
ted, 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 any druggist a
few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia
and take a teaspoonful in a quarter
glass of water right after eating
This sweetens the stomach, prevents
the formation of excess acid and
there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bis
urated Magnesia Gin powder or tablet
form-never liquid or milk is harm
less to the stomach. inexpensive to
take and is the most efficient form
of magnesia for stomach purposes. 1t
is used by thousands of people who
enjoy their meals with no more fear
OF indigestion. G. A. Gorgas.

COMPANY DENIES
NEW STEAM RATE
IS EXORBITANT
Officials Contend the Increase
Will Not Even Provide Fair
Return on Its Investment

That the proposed increases in
steam rates. effective August 10,
1918, are not exorbitant and will
not even yield a fair return on the
amount of money invested in the
plant. is contended by the Harris
burg Light and Power Company in
the answer to the complaint against
the increases filed by fifty-three citi-
zens of Harrisburg with the Public
Service Commission. c. NJ. Kalt-
wasser. general manager of the COM
pany, filed his answer to the COM
plant to-day.
He states first that the rates are
Incorrectly set forth in the COM
plant, and corrects them as follows:
First $4,000 pounds of condensation,
or less. per month, at 60 cents net,
or 65 cents gross per 1000 pounds;
next $4,000 pounds of condensation
or less per month at 90 cents net, or
60 cents gross per thousand pounds'
next 1000 of condensation or less
per month at 80 cents net, or 90
cents gross per thousand POUNDS;
excess of 100000 pounds of condens-
alton o. less per month at 40 cents
Il,
pounds.
Increase From 80 to so Per Cent.
1t is admitted that the increase is
approxinately 80 to so per cent over
the former rates. The increase in
the cost of dredging and securing
for final use the river coal utilized
has increased rapidly, and labor
costs have increased so much. the
company's manager affirms, that
they form deciding factors in MAX
ing the rate increase necessary.
The answer denies that any sec
ton of the Public Service Company
law is violated by the increase.
Continuing, it AYERS that the rates
proposed to be charged are more
than fair, just and reasonable to its
consumers, in that the rates set
forth in the schedule proposed to
become effective August % are not
sufficient to yield the company the
compensation and revenue to which
it is Justly entitled. and that the
general increase in the cost OF ma
terials and labor has been such that
the schedule of rates filed will not
only not be compensatory, but will
not furnish a fair and just return on
the capital invested in the plant.
Mr.. lKaltwasser this morning cited
the case of the New York Steam
Company. whose rates, he said, were
three times higher than those here,
but which was nevertheless forced
by the high cost of materials and
labor into the hands of the receiver.
IF the people who made the COM
plant really knew the situation | do
not believe they would have taken
any action" he added.

Hndenburg Line Penetrated

east they were caught under the fire
of the British artillery. The British
then stormed into the town and cap
tured what remained of the neemy's
force-110 men and five officers.
From Favreuil the British pressed
east and south, further encircling
Bapaume.
The new section of the battle front
just south of the Scarpe offers great
possibilities. The attacking forces
here are driving eastward astride the
Arras- Cambria road and now are
beyond Monchy-le-PeuX and Wan
court. These points virtually are on
the Hindenburg line.
Scores of British planes continued
their systematic attacks upon the
enemy troops. Tanks again distin-
guished themselves by overwhelm-
ing difficult points where the con-
centration of machine guns delayed
the advancing infntry.

TO HAVE STAGE COACH RIDE

MILES CITY, Mont.-Visitors to the
annual convention of the Montana State
Press association, to be held here August
5, 6 and 7, will be met at the station
with an old-ti1ne stageeoach and escorted
to their hotels by an armed guard. This
bit of early day dealism will quickly give
way to more modern equipment, how
ever, for on the opening day the editors
are to be taken for an automobile ride
through the city and for a visit to the
state industrial school, where they will
have dinner.
On the following day the dinner will
be served from a regulation Chuck
wagon, such as is in vogue with cattle
men. In the evening the visitors will
be guests at a banquet. Business sessions
will occupy Wednesday and in the ev-
ening an athletic tourney for the men
and a cabaret for the women, with a
dance afterward, will occupy the time.

Sixty thresherman, combinemen ant
farmers met at the city hall Friday af-
