A REPUBLICAN
CONGRESS ASKED
Senator Sproul Speaks Plain
ly to Republicans of State
Through Lancaster

"A plea for the election of more
Republican congressman in PennsyI-
Vanla was made to Lancaster County
Republican committeeman at the an
nual meeting held in Lancaster yes
teroay by Senator William c. Sproul,
candidate for governor. 1t was a
message to go all over the state.
Senator Sproul and Senator Edward
r. eBeldleman. were escorted to the
court house by the committee headed
by Congressman w. w. Griest and
Lieutenant-Governor Frank B. Nc
Claim. The presence Of the distin-
gulshed visitors drew many of their
personal friends and active Republi-
cans to the place of meeting, and of
the l23 county committeeman there
was but one absent. When the candi-
dates and their escort entered the
court room they were greeted with
hearty cheers. Former Congressman
II. Burd Cassel. of Marietta, was
called to preside. in view of the fact
that new officers were to be elected.
Following the transaction of busi-
ness both candidates made stirring
addresses. Senator Sprouts declara-
tion that he was proud to be a Lam
caster countian was greeted with en-
;
Samuel Slokom, was chairman of the
Republican county committee in Lam
caster county for twelve years, and
he said. Uncle Ike also knew a few
things"
Our friends, the Democrats, seem
to think we should be quiescent, but
we are by no means inert. We're
going ahead, both in the nation and
the state, as a high duty we owe the
world. We believe in constructive
politics and the kind we know and
feel builds up and does not tear
down. During our great crisis of the
past year the Republicans stood by
the chief executive more firmly than
did many of his own party, they stood
for every move the president made
that was for the country's good.
pennsylvania is one of the coun-
try's biggest factors in the world
war, and never will Republicans of
the state stand for anything that is
not constructive. At Chester and Hog
Island We are building ships; on all
sides we are building munitions and
daily we are sending out men. Every
Republican backs all these moves and
will continue to back them to the
limit Down at Washington they
need the help of the Pennsylvania
Republicans and they are going to
get it."
Senator Beidleman proved his
knowledge of Lancaster county poll
tics by referring to what the local
Republicans did for Taft, in strong
contrast to other counties in the state
during the Democratic landslide At
ter indulging in prophecy for brief
moment the speaker pointed out the
fact that New York, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and Illinois are con-
tributing sixty per cent. of the money
to prosecute the war-and these are
all Republican states. Pennsylvania
is making sixty per cent. of the war
munitions and giving ten per cent.
of the wars men.
This. we are thankful to say, is
Republican state and, thank God, will
always be so. With Sproul as the
governor, Pennsylvania will have
leader to trust and be proud of, and
our state will go on and on until the
country is safe for democracy. He,

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

Medical authorities state that near
ly nine-te tenth 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 irPita-
ted, digestion is delayed and fsod
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

of magnesia for stomach purposes. 1t

18-TO-45 DRAFT
FOR 100000
Is IN CONGRESS
New Man-Power Measure Pro.
vides For Registration
on September 5

Washington, Aug. 6. = The new
man-power bill, fixing the draft age
limits at eighteen and forty-five
years, was introduced in both
branches of Congress yesterday The
administration will make every ef-
fort to obtain its immediate passage
In presenting the bill in Congress
Secretary of War Baker submitted to
the Senate and House a letter and
memoranda from General Crowder,
provost marshal, showing that class 1
of the present registration will be al
most depleted ON September 1 and
that the new age limits could not be
fixed at less than forty-five years and
higher thar eighteen If the program
for an army of 100000 men is to be
carried out without calling men from
deferred classifications
In his letter and memoranda to the
Secretary of War General Crowder
announced that weekly registrations
of men becoming twenty-one years
of age must be held during Septem,
Der and until the new law goes into
effect if the quota for September is to
be OBTAINED from class l.
The first of the registration days
will be September 5, he announced
On that day all young men who have
reached the age of twenty-one years
since the last registration day. June
5, 1918. must register. according to
General Crowders plan. During the
remainder of the month and perhaps
for longer period, General Crowder
said, other registrants of men becom-
ing twenty-one years of age will be
held each Monday. .
Won't Wait For Order Numbers
Those young men will fill out their
questionnaires and be classified i'm
mediately after they have registered.
said General Crowder, and those
placed in class 1 will be sent to camp
almost at once, without waiting to be
assigned order numbers.
The need for class l men during
September is so great, he said it will
be necessary to register all men as
fast as they become twenty-one years
of age and Immediately send to the
cantonments all who are not entitled
to deferred classification, If there is
to be no interruption in the military
program.
General Crowder informed, Secre-
tary Baker there would be fewer than
100000 men in class l on September
] to fill the quota of 200 900 that has
been decided upon for that month.
That number includes those who reg
istered on June 5 of this year, he
said, The weekly registrations will
make 10000 men available for mill
tary service, he estimates. giving the
War Department barely enough men.
he said, to meet the September needs,
through the addition of men by re-
classification.
The new age limits will make o.
29S,S45 class / men available for SER
vice, General Crowder estimates OF
that number only 601,236 class 1 men
will be between the ages of thirty
two and forty-fve and 1,797,609 will
be between. eighteen and twenty.

CYRUS ii. MCCORMICK
EXPLAINS DISSOLUTION

Todd Henderson, branch manager
of the International Harvester Com
pany, has received a notice from
Cyrus H. Mccormick, president of
the COMPANY that under the stress
of war conditions. the company has
agreed to dismiss it's appeal in the
government suit, now pending in the
supreme Court of the United States.
the company alleged that the decree
appealed from was entered by a di-
Nided court, and was not based upon
any wrongful practice or injurious
acts, but upon the company's alleged
power to dominate the agricultural
trade. The evidence upon which the
decree was centered and the appeal
must be tried was closed five years
ago, the statement says.

BUSY BUSINESS MEN
Science Helps Them Out After
ReclIIessly Abusing the Stomach

The most reckless man in regard
to health is the busy business man.
At noon he rushes out for bite to
eat. He bolts his food without prop
er mastication, and heaps on his
stomach an extra burden greater
than it is able to carry without
breaking down.
His overworked stomach is crying
for help; it appeals to him for re-
lief in various ways: Expulsion of
sour gas, waterbrash, sour taste in
mouth, heaviness after eating, short
ness of breath, bad breath, etc.
One Mi-o-na tablet taken with or
after each meal will help any suffer-
er from dyspepsia wonderfully. 1t
aids the stomach in the work of di-
gestion which it must perform.
Mi-o-na tablets are sold by II. c..
Kennedy with rigid guarantee to
overcome dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles, or money back. They make
eating a pleasure.
Mi-o-na cleanses and purifies the
stomach and bowels and puts vigor
and strength into the overworked
tissues. 1t is the surest stomach
tonic in the world.
Sold by leading druggists every
where.-Adv.

Embroidery Now the Thinu.

That beaded trimming is rapidly Civ
ing way to embroidery seems to be a
fashion tendency beyond dispute. 1t
is said that one reason why the metal
lie bead effect became so popular in
Paris and later In America a season or
so ago was because 1t was possible to
make use Of metal filings and scrapings
from munitions works for much Of this
trimming. But for some reason very
little metal trimming is coming into
this country now and beads are scarce.
Embroidery is entirely within the
bounds of things available. Hence the
new dresses will show embroidery
rather than beads. 1t has been said
that there is an end to so-called
Oriental and ecclesiastical embroider-
les. that is, bright colors have been
overdone. and most Of the smart
dresses showing embroidery win be
worked In threads OF the same color or
in some simple one-tone contrast

For the garuen party and all the
rest of summertime's engaging oppor-
tunities for living outdoors some clev-
er hats and bags to match have been
made. They all take cognizance of
the fact that everywhere the lady goes
her knitting-bag goes, too, and 1t Is
getting to be as much an affair of In
terest and Importance as the hat 1t
matches. With the introduction of mil
ilinery braids and laces In It's construc-
ton, we have summer knitting bags

pretty bags that are more simply made
Of materials that are seasonable all
the year round. This particular bas
suggests ways of using materials one
may have on hand-for millinery Is
often discarded before 1t shows signs
Of wear.
1t does not make much difference
what hats and bags are made Of sc
long as they are pretty and cleverly
made. What is called the "calicd
vogue" has introduced calico, Bingham,
cotton crepe, percale and other cottons
into the making of extra hats for mid.
summer. They might all be elassed as
garden hats-but, like sport hats,
they go everywhere.
And everywhere is just the place tc
find knitting bags-anyOne who car

matched sets. Silk cords and tassels,
narrow silk fringes and narrow lin'
