BOROUGH COUNCIL
IN LONG SESSION
Turns Deaf Ear to Plea For
Adequate Police Pro-
lection

Although the borough council held
a rather lengthy session last even
ing, very little was accomplished
Much discussion but no action mark
ed the introduction of the subject
of more adequate police protection.
1t was brought out that within the
last few weeks. shooting affairs, hold
ups, and lawlessness in general, We're
becoming quite common matters,
especially among the colored popula-
tion. Most of these affairs have hap
pened in the West side. and Conncil-
man Reider made an urgent appeal
for better police protection in that
section of the town.
Appeal in Unheeded
His appeal went unheeded, no ac-
tion being taken. The inactivity and
silence on the part of council in this
matter apparently amounts to little
more than an expression of willing
ness to have the matters continue as
they are. The police force of the
borough, while doing all in it's power
to bring the guilty ones to justice and
break up the lawlessness, is adequate
in size to cope with the affair. Seven
policemen for n town with twenty
thousand people, large portion Of
which is composed of negroes and
foreigners. is very much like an in
vitation for lawlessness. Even the
standard police protection of one of
ficer to every thousand population
followed out in the majority of towns
in Pennsylvania, would be inadequate
IN. Steelton because of the mixed pop
ulation. That standard of protection
would give Steelton about twenty Of
hcers,-what then can be expected
with seven?
While the discussion was going on
fate decided to bring the matter to
a head. A police call came from the
lower end of the borough, stating
that Tom Zabbic and his brother,
Evan Zabbic, had just been held up
by three negroes close to Adam
Glad's dairy. But even this report
failed to move the honorable bor-
ough fathers to action.
With holdups as nightly occur
renee. robberies and shooting affairs
almost as frequent, with two mur-
derers still at large, the time has ar
rived when police protection has be-
come an absolute necessity, regard
less of the opinion of the borough
council.

street car license ordinance was f.

Thousands of people suffer more or

tongue, bad breath, sour burning
stomach, frequent vomiting, rumb-
ling in stomach, bitter eructations.
gas, wind and stomach acidlty, ana
call it indigestion when in reality
their trouble is due to gastric catarrh
of the stomach writes New York
physician.
Catarrh of the stomach is danger
GUS because the mucous membrance
lining OF the stomach is thickened and
coating of phlegm covers the sur
lace so that the. digestive fluids can
mot mix with the food and digest
them. This condition soon breeds
deadly disease in the fermented. un-
assimilated food. The blood is pol
luted and carries the infection
throughout the body. Gastric ulcers
are apt to form and frequently an
ulcer IS the hrst sign of a deadly
cancer.
In catarrh of the stomach good
and safe treatment is to take before
meals a teaspoonful Of pure Bisurat-
ed MagneSia iii half a glass of hot
water as hot as you can comfortably
drink II. The hot water washes the
mucous from the stomach walls and
draws the blood to the stomach while
the bisurated magnesia is an excellent
solvent Tor mucuS and increases the
efficiency of the hot water treatment.
Moreover the Bisurated Magnesia will
serve as a powerful but harmless ant
acid which will neutraliZe any excess
hydrochloric acid that may be in
your stomach and sweeten its food
contents. Easy, natural digestion
without distress of any kind should
soon follow. Bisurated Magnesia is
not a laxative, is harmless. pleasant
and easy TO take and can be obtained

ed questions about It. going Into tho
most minute detail.
The George Washington passed
into the Azores this morning and
turned northward on the last leg
of her voyage. There was no stop
at the Azores.
President Wilson probably will
not sit at the peace table, but will
be represented there by delegates,
while remaining in close contact with
the heads of the other nations and
prepared to decide questions referred
to him.
Premier Clemenceau, it is believed,
will be president of the peace confer
ence. This is considered fitting, be-
cause the conference will be held in
France.
President Wilson's disposition is in
favor of entirely public proceedings,
such as are carried ON in the Senate
chamber at Washington, with the
press representatives given every ia
cility to report certain business.
Naturally there will be need of Sc
crecy, as there is in the Foreign Re-
lations Committee, but the Presi-
dents idea is that the procedure
could be much the same as at Wash
ington, a committee considering the
confidential and delicate features OF
