It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases and acidity and gives one splendid appetite for breakfast.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate will cost very little at the drug store put is sufficient to demonstrate that. Those who are subject to con- stipation, bilious attacks acid stom ach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion pallid that one week of inside bathing will have them both looking and feel ing better in every way.

CLOSED Shop" Is Not
American, He Says

Washington, Oct. 13. - That the
CLOSED shop" is un-American. is the
assertion of the Republican Public
ity Association in the following
statement, given out by the presi-
dent of that organization, Jonathan
Bourne, Jr.:
The crux of the demands of the
labor group as presented to the
labor-capital conference may be
summarized as follows: The right
of wage-earners to bargain collec-
lively, through unions, represented
by agents of their own choosing
1t is n one-sided proposition. 1t
speaks OF the right of wage-earners
to bargain in a certain way, but as
sumes that there shall be no right
to bargain in any other way. What
the unions desire is not the right,
but the power. TO bargain collec-
lively, and. under the form of bar
gaining collectively. to dictate terms
to employers. There object is not
bargaining, but dictation.

Urges ''Service at Cost"
For Street Railway:

washington, Oct. 18.-Adoption of
the service-at-cost" plan of fixing
street-railway fares by municipali-
ties. with the valuation based upon
cost of replacement" probably will
be recommended by the Presidents
Electric Railway Commission. which
Is to report within q few weeks its
conclusions from the extended hear
ings held recently in Washington.
1t was learned authoritatively that
members of the commission look
upon the "service-at-cost" plan, fol-
lowing in most respects the Cleve-
land Idea, as the most logical and
equitable solution of the street-rail-
way problem from the standpoint of
both the public and the companies.
The zone system" of fixing fares
on basis of mileage and municipal
ownership is not regarded by the
commission as suggesting q salts
factory settlement of the problem.
1t is understood also that the COM
mission will take some action in the
matter of Immediate relief for the
companies and suggest that higher
fares should be granted as a tenn
porary relief for the companies TO
meet the acute financial difficulties
into which many of them were said
to be drifting. The commission is
to urge also, IL was said, the abse-
lutte necessity for a better under
standing between the public and the
street railway managers

burban property of the American ex-
peditlonary force at a loss to the
government of more than $1,000. .o0o.-
900. under the direct orders of Sec
retary Baker. is shown in the records
brought from abroad by the House
subcommittee investigating War De-
partment expenditures. or which Roy
al Z. Johnson is chairman.
The record of the policy laid down

EXpeditionary Forces is found in the
official minutes of a meeting OF the
American Liquidation Commission in
Paris, on April 16. 1919. which Mr..
Baker attended. The declaration of
the Baker policy. which was offered
by the liquidation commission as its
excuse for the Wholesale sacrifice OF

interests reads in part as follows:
THE Secretary of War express ed
the opinion that no property or ma
terial notsneeded by the army for con-
sumption in ths United States should
be returned to The United States: and
that in no event should such COM
modities as clothing. food supplies
and engineering equipment be return
ed. but that all such commodities, as
the same became surplus, should be
disposed of by the commission in
Europe to the best advantage"
surplus commodities in France which
had cost the government 81. f26. 000.-
eco were sold to the French govern
ment for the round sum of $400,0 ,000,-
COO, or considerably less than one
third their cost price.

Cardinal Mercier Is
Honored by Pennsylvanians

New York, Oct. 13.-Cardinal Mer-
cier was the guest at a luncheon at
the Waldorf-Astoria rendered him
by the Pennsylvania Society which
presented him with a gold medal.
The presentation was made by
Charles NJ. Schwab, president of the
society, before 500 members.
Cardinal Mercier said he appreci-
ated deeply the contributions of
PENNSYLVANIA toward the winning OF
the war. The iron, steel and coal
which had come from that State, he
said, had been an important factor
in the aid which the United States
had brought to Europe. He paid
tribute to Mr.. Schwab. who made
possible the bridge of ships from the
United States to France" and de-
clared that Americas success in the
war was due both to her material
means and her ability for applying
them.
After luncheon the Cardinal left
New York for Scranton to. start a
tour of the eastern part of the coun-
try, returning to New York Novem-
ber 4. He will leave New York for
Belgium the following day. He will
visit all large cities east of the Miss
ssippi.

table were Charles NJ. Schwab,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
NO MINISTERIAL STRIKE

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Should the minister strike? No.
Does he strike? Yes. He strikes
for Gods altars. for the Home fires,
and ever for the country's sanctity,
but not for wages"
Yet he is not 80 deaf that he does
not hear the hum and hustle of an
industrial prosperity that suggests
the query, why don't the laymen
whose wages have increased more
and more, pass the prosperity on to
the pulpit?
Here is a concrete case, not uni
versal. but typical. A preacher re-
ceives 81, 400 a year. It's the largest
salary in dollars that he ever re-
ceived. It's the smallest support
he ever had. For his dollars now
are only half dollars or less of few
years ago.
He lives and possibly keeps up a
little life insurance now only be-
cause he saved a little when he re-
ceived half the salary. and thus sub
sidises to tide over his inadequate
stipend of these II. c. of L. times.
When his calling is twice as ex-
acting, both as to quantity and quail
ity of his work he is expected to be
content with half the support.
Is this fair for the man and in
stitution whose pre-eminent func-
ton is to teach Righteousness and
Justice? But he will not strike.
JOHN H. MORTIMER,
Camp Curtin Memorial.

State High in Number
of American Legion Posts

Pennsylvania has now Sse posts
of the American Legion, the third
largest number of any State. accord
, ing to reports recently sent out from
the national headquarters in New
York. The membership of the total
number of posts is approximately
| 10000 soldiers. sailors, marines,
/ yeomanettes and nurses.
The figures given above are IN
elusive of September 80, and do not
include the membership in the
drive for 100000 members It is
expected that by November II. when
the national convention of the Le-
gion opens in Minneapolis, that
| there will be over 5000 posts in the
United States with the membership
goal secured.
There are at present 3s5 posts in
this State and many more are ap-
plying for charters daily. At the
| time of the State convention on Oc-
tober 2, 8 and 4, there were only
$50 posts. It was at that time that
Governor Sproul made his address
| to the Legion and gave it his un-
qualified endorsement, pledging
every aid that lay in his power.
Mark T. Minor, of Post 81. and
Patrick Sweeney, of Post 279, are
the local men who will attend the
convention.

Cheap Oil to Be
Used For House Heat

A device that will revolutionize
the heating of buildings, do away
with coal shoveling and ash hand
ling, and provide additional safe
guard from fires, has been patented
by William NJ. Hoffman. By its
operation fuel oil is burned without
mechanical aids, and out of a very
small amount of oil, through per-
feet combustion, great heat is Sc
cured.
The burner is called the three
element burner, because in its oper-
alton it blends in its flame carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen. 1t is by the
blending of these three elements that
the carbon of the heavy. non-ex-
plosive oil used is fully burned up,
and the resultant heat secured.
In appearance the burner is a
little higher than desk telephone
and is made up of four castiron
portions, about eight inches in diam
eter. 1t is small enough to go IN
a common hot air or hot water
furnace. The oil flows into a fuel
pan, and being lighted, generates
in a very simple manner steam
which furnishes forced draught for
the flame. A mass of very hot fam
ing gas-a miniature gas we'll
comes out of the top of the burner
and lis radiated out into the 0sm-
bustion chamber of the stove or
furnace. One valve regulates the
amount of heat furnished.
Some of Harrisburg's leading
business men, and some of the resi-
dent state officials have invited the
inventor to make a demonstration
here this week. Officials of the
Chamber of Commerce and Rotary
and Kiwanis Clubs will be among
those invited to inspect the inven-
ton.

Harrisburg Navy to
Plan For Future at
First Annual Banquet

Although the Penn-Harris in its
young life has already seen many
strange banquet stunts. 1t is doubt
full IL 1t has yet had anything that
will any way near approach the XII
pona banquet to be held Thursday
evening.
For instance. Admiral J. William
Bowman. who will be toastmaster.
will conduct the AFFAIR from the deck
of the flagship Kipona- the same
flagship from the Deck of which he
presided over the big Labor Day
festival on the river. A big force of
decorators from the local depart
ment stores are now working like
beavers to decorate the big ballroom
and one of their tasks Is to get the
big flagship into the room.
Just how they will solve this
problem is hard to say. perhaps John
Newton and his Sons of Rest, who
evolved the plan for getting that fa-
nous steam shovel out of the Penn
Harris cellar. will be called upon to
get the fifty-foot boat to the third
floor ballroom. Anyway the decora-
tors have promised that the ship
'Aai OO o. oO yOu Sah SOohb oPoA
seeing Admiral Bowman on deck in
real naval style.
Ira G. Kinder and the other
hustling members of the banquet
committee report that the demand
for tickets has far surpassed their
estimates and those who desire to
attend should get in touch with the
committee at once. Tickets may be
obtained at the Chamber of Com
merce offices or from the presidents
of the Rotary or Kikanis Clubs. All
three organizations have endorsed
the Navy's plans and Thursdays af-
fair will be a real community event.
The object is to awaken interest
in plans to develop Harrisburg's
wonderful natural advantages for
recreation on the Susquehanna and
the proposed loan fer $4,000 for
river bathing beaches and bath
houses willsNbe given a big boost.
This loan will be submitted to the
voters at the November election and
is sure to pass.
While the committee desires to
get into personal touch with every
canoeist in the city, the time is far
too short, so canoeists are urged to
attend and make their reservations
through Mr.. Kinder promptly.
Every canoeist should be a strong
Navy booster and should show his
interest by being on hand Thurs
day.
