PUPILS URGED TO
BUY THE STAMPS
Principal Dibble Calls Atten-
ton to Thrift Stamps;
Bell Telephone to Boost

In line with the promise made by
DIR. +. E. Downes, city school super
intendent, at the meeting of the
Thrift Stamp committee. Thursday
night, the attention of the thousands
of pupils of the city's schools has
been called by teachers to the way
to make $4.12 become So. The same
work is being done at the Harris
burg Academy where Headmaster
Arthur E. Brown has been making
addresses to the boys in the various
forms.
One of the biggest drives to
launch the Thrift Stamp saving cam
paign was undertaken by Principal
Horace G. Dibble at the Central
High school, where he addressed all
of the pupils, pointing out that the
advantages of the stamps were so
obvious that pupils should put the
money they have laid by in the saw
ings clubs into stamps. Principal
Dibble explained how to make $4.12
become So through the medium of
sixteen tweney- -five-cent thrift
stamps and twelve cents.
The Bell Telephone Company,
which has been devoting its adver-
tising space to urging buying of
Thrift stamps and explaining what
they mean, is planning some other
stunts to boost the sale of the
stamps. Keep your eye on the
Bell" said George S. Reinoehl to-
day.
William H. Bennethum, manager
of Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, who
has also been giving advertising
space to Thrift stamps, is keenly
interested in the sale of the stamps.
ITS a wonder we did not think of
these things BEFORE" said he. Its
a simple and easy and mighty at
tractive way to save" said he. "I
built my first home by saving a
quarter a week on a share in a
building and loan association, and 1
guess lots of other people who have
saved little at a time can appre-
ciate the good points of Thrift
stamps"
j. William Bowman, of Bowmans,
winch establishment, has also been
giving space for Thrift stamps, said
to-day that there had been many
inquiries about the stamps. Were
glad to explain what they mean and
we have made a number of sales.
Ihe people are commencing to real
lZe what they can do with a quarter
ana Thrift stamps are going to be a
Dig thing before long" said he.

Argentina Wheat to
Be Milled in America

Washington, Jan. 11.-Much of
the wheat to be released by Argen-
tina to the Allies will be transported
by way of the United States for
milling here. 1t will be brought up
in neutral ships and after milling
will be taken across in British ves-
sells. This will keep the neutral
ships out of the danger zone, will
keep American mills busy and will
give to the United States the bran
for cattle feed.
Officials here have been expecting
an announcement of completion of
arrangements between Argentina
and the Allies for sale of the grain.
Details of the negotiations have not
been made public, but it is consid-
cred likely that England in exchange
or the grain will permit the ship
ment to Argentina of large quanti-
ties of coal.
No secret is made of the fact that
one reason the Allies have been par
ticularly anxious to get this grain
aside from their urgent need of it is
that they feared it might go to the
northern European neutral countries
and thence find its way to Germany.

|Magnesia Baths

Doctor Recommends Them I'm Place

"Only those in constant touch with
sufferers from indigestion and dys-
pepsia can fully realize the harm
done by the improper use of artificial
digestents or drugs like pepsin or
soda pills, and tablets in the treatment
of stomach trouble" declares a well
known physician.
In fully nine cases uur Of ten di-
gestive trouble is caused by an excess
of hydrochloric acid in the stomach,
which sours and ferments the food,
creating gas on the stomach and often
causing intense pain or burning
The forcing of food from stomach
to intestines with artificial digest
ents in such case is almost criminal
folly as serious intestinal indigestion
may very easily, follow. Instead the
stomach should be given a magnesia

heavy snow on the Enola 'Ioop" and
were running as we'll as could be ed
pected.
A large force of men was detailed
to open the tracks between Shire
manstown and Mechanicsburg about
noon. Officials said they hope to
have cars running as far as Mechan-
icsburg on the Carlisle line late this
afternoon.
c. II. Bishop. president of the VAL
ley Railways Company, said they were
having considerable trouble with the
cars being out of commission on ac-
count of the heavy snow. Many of
the cars were out of service early
this morning when being used to
break ope nthe lines. Many cars
were derailed, which was a consid
erable holdback in getting cars
through.
Early this morning the sweeper was
placed in service but IL was found
impossible to use it on some of the
lines on account of the drifts. The
sweeper was taken off and cars used
IN It's stead to open up the roads.
Every available man employed by
the company, in addition to extra men
who were hired. were put on the
snow-sweeping forces. On account of
tie laoor shortage President Bishop
shouldered a shovel and broom and
went out with the men to do his bit
in opening up the line.
Mr.. Bishop in a statement at noon
! said he was unable to say when reg
ular schedules would be resumed on
the lines.
Snow Holds Up Coal
The heavy snowfall fampered deal
ers to-day in delivering their coal.
1t is reported by Mr.. Hickok that a
| number of the dealers have received
coal in small quantities, which they
are under great difficulty in deliver
ing this morning. A few of the deal
ers have wagons or trucks on the
street, but are finding it unusually
difficult to deliver. Some of the deal
ers who received coal yesterday are
reported to have delivered it before
the storm.
With the heavy storm, Indications
are that there viii be the usual quota
of suffering among the coalless of
the city. The Chamber of Commerce
was besieged with calls this morning
it was said. by sufferers who had ap-
pealed to the police for coal. 1t is
understood that people having half
ton will not be given coal by. the
authorities. An effort is being, made
to furnish a truck for the delivery

FLYING COMMONPLACE

There has grown up since Au-
gust, 1914, an increase so extended
in our knowledge of the science of
flight, and an improvement so i'm
mense i'm the building of machines
and engines, as would make flying a
commonplace il peace were declared
tom orrow.
In other words, the peace time
pilot would be provided with a
sound and stable machine which
would be equal to varying conditions
of wind force, while so many things
have been attempted in the air with
success, from military necessity,
that there is now absolutely moth
ing that could happen, from the
flying point of view itself, that is not
thoroughly understood and capable
of being overcome.
If we eliminate the gun fire from
below, the need for aerial combats,
the use of machines so light that
they could be broken in mid-air by
unskilful handling, and the taking
of the maximum risks as regards
foggy weather, there is nothing to

OF the coal to the sufferers, and thus
iaciiitate deliveries Stories of un-
patriotism by the dealers are coming
IN 1ast. Among them is one of a
woman who stated that she is en-
tlreiy without coal and has eight chill
oreh. a neighbor who ordered a half
ton or coal from dealer was sent a
ton by mistake. The neighbor re-
frsed the extra half ton and the
woman without coal appealed to the
driver to sell Ii to her. The request
was refused and the woman is still
without coal. 1t is said this is only
one OF number of similar instances.
fuel administrator Hickok is try
ing TO get permission from State Fuel
Administrator Potter this morning to
commander several cars of coal on
railroad sidings at Middletown The
1uel administrator is trying to get
liberal powers from the state admin
istrator to commander coal for local
consumption. He says that there is
great deal of coal in this vicinity
standing useless on railroad sidings.
VI tWenty-four cars of coal at High
spire. the local commission was all
lowed to requisition six, and Mr..
Hickok says the rest of it is still on
the tracks, standing idle.
Pooling Coal Traffic
since the railroads had been taken
over by the government and the
freight traffic pooled, he could not
see why coal received on the Penn
sylvania should not, when necessary
be moved to Reading tracks for un-
loading, or when received on the
Reading transferred to Pennsylvania
sidings, If the shortage could be re-
lieved in that way. 1t is likely that
this matter will be taken up by the
fuel administrator.
Another complaint is that while
some dealers yards are bare. Others
have received as many as four ears
on a single day and the supgesti on
has been made that arrangem tents be
made to divide the supply on more
equal terms.
Steam Lines Safe
Railroad officials 90 not look for
any serious tieup as a result of last
nights storm. They claim the recent
cold spell was the worst that could
happen and that they can battle with
snow with much better results than
with zero weather
Trains were late on all roads rum
ming into Harrisburg this morning.
This was attributed to the heavy traf-
fic from nearby towns due to the fact
that the trolley lines We're tied up.

Chicago, Jan. s15.-Nearly 10000
men were idle to-day in Chicago and
nearby manufacturing districts on ac-
count of a fuel shortage caused by
the recent heavy snowfall demoraliz-
ing railway traffic.
Among the industries which were
virtually at a standstill were three
of the largest packing plants in Chi
cago and many steel mills in the
Calumet and Gary districts, which are
working on Government contracts.
1t was announced the packers ex-
pected to resume during the day, but
the situation at the steel mills is said
to be more serious and that opera
tions might be suspended two days
longer.
Chicago and it's suburbs have made
great strides toward resumption of

Reading Tracks Are
Blocked by Drifts

Reading, Pa, Jan. 15.-Trolley serv-
ice was greatly interfered with by
the combination of drifted snow and
rain that fell all of last night. The
snow, fully eight inches deep, was
reduced by half by the rain, but at
many places tracks were blocked by
drifts. At one place in the city
limits fifteen cars were held up in a
row and telephone and telegraph
wires were down all over the city and
county. The steam railways were
hampered by the storm and all trains
were late. The temperature here is
high and flood conditions are feared
as the Schuylkill river is rapidly
rising.

Boats Will Run to Troy
Clermont and Onteora To Be
Operated in Through Service

Upstate manufacturers anxiety will
be set at rest by the announcement
made yesterday that direct line of
steamers soon would be running be-
tween this city and Troy, N Y. Promi-
nent business men of Troy had feared
that Albany would be the head of nav
igation on the Hudson, when it was
learned that the Hudson Navigation
Company had discontinued service, ow-
ing to the commandment Of two
steamers by the government
The Troy Chamber of Commerce,
however. has reached an agreement
with the receivers of the Catskill Even
ing Line whereby they are permitted
under court order to put the Clermont
and the Onteora in service between
Troy and New York
The Clermont is one of the newest
boats on the river, having been placed
in commission in 1911. She and the
onteora have been thoroughly over
hauled and repaired. They ran in the
Catskill Evening Line service last wear.
