notified the state fire marshal of the

state ot1cials without the knowledge
of local authorities.

Hygienic Hose Company on Monday
is anXiously awaited by borough Of
ficials. The company has been con-

probably some important reports will
be made at this session.
Council at its meeting Monday
evening appointed a committee to
make an investigation. This commit
tee has been working on the case this
week and should have some import
ant data to submit to council at it's
next meeting.
At the meeting of council, Fire

With No. 14-inch and No. 21-inch
mills in operation the local steel
plant has practically recovered
from the shock which 1t received
during the heat wave of the last few
days. Both mills were placed in use
late yesterday afternoon after being
idle for several days largely because
of the failure of men to report for
work on account of the heat. No. 81
inch mill went out of operation on
Tuesday and No. 14-inch mill the
following day. At No. 14-inch mill
it was impossible to make repairs to
serious breakdown because of the
shortage of men. Enough men were
collected yesterday to make the re-
pairs and the mill was placed into
use. Officials claim that the plant
was practically being operated nor
mally to-day They said practically
all of the men have returned to work
in the last twenty-four hours.

MY TIRED FEET
ACHED FOR 'TIz'
Let your sore, swollen, aching
feet spread out in a bath
of "Tiz"

Just take your shoes off and then
put those weary, shoe-crinkled, ach-
ing, burning, corn-pestered, bunion-
tortured feet of yours in a "Tiz"
bath. Your toes will wriggle with
joy; they'll look up at you and al
most talk and then they'll take an
other dive in that "Tiz" bath.
When your feet feel like Jumps of
lead-all tired out Just try "Tiz."
It's grand-it's glorious. Your feet
will dance with joy; also you will
find all pain gone from corns, cal
louses and bunions. s
There's nothing like "Ti3." It's
the only remedy that draws out all
the poisonous exudations which puff
up your feet and cause foot torture.
Get a 25-cent box of "Tiz" at any
drug or department store-don't
wait. All! how glad your feet get;
how comfortable your shoes feel.
You can wear shoes a size smaller
If you desire.-Adv.
