of lead in the stomach and such dis
tresses make one ponder as to the ad-
visibility of starving. But that is
wrong method. A better and safer plan
is to be regular at meals, eat what is
served or what is fastest, and follow
the meal with Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablet It is a bad practice for most
people to go against nature by depriv-
ing the system Of what 1t must have
food, to keep going. Once you learn
how you may eat without stint or fear
by using Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets,
there Is little likelihood of your ever
joining either that mournful band of
starvationists or any other disjointed

Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at any

Washington, Aug. 27. - Senator
Fall. Republican, New Mexico, re-
plying in the Senate to-day to an ad-
dress yesterday, by Senator McCumb-
er, Republican, North Dakota, criti-
cising the Foreign Relations Com
mittee for amending the Shanturg
provision of the peace treaty, said
Senators who had not read the treaty
and did not know it's contents were
the most inistent that it be ratified
Immediately.
There is no use attempting to
chop this treaty :nto mincemeat,"
declared Senator Nelson, Republican,
of Minnesota. 'If that is the sena-
tors object, he will find that mince-
meat will be wiped aside by the SEN
ate."
Later Interruptions of Senator
Falls speech by Senator McCumber
led to one of the bitterest exchanges
since the treaty began. Facing each
other at a distance of a few feet,
the two senators raised their voices
ard pounded their desks.

Sends Bullet Crashing
Into Temple as He Sits
in Front Of City Hospital

Joseph Kaluza, age 35 years, be-
lieved to be from Pittsburgh, shot
himself in the right temple this af.
ternoon. He was sitting on a bench
near the Harrisburg Hospital to which
he was taken. He is in a critical
condition. Boys heard the shot and
called two men who assisted in get
ting the man to the Hospital.
The man was apparently in good
health. 1t is believed he is an Aus
trian. He had 5000 and a bank book
in his pocket. Attendants about the
hospital noticed the man occupying
a seat in the River Park almost di-
rectly opposite that institution, and
said he had been there since 1890.
1t is the belief the man will not re-
cover.

Washington. Aug. 81. - Unifica-

into one privately owned system with
minimum earnings guaranteed, the
management shared by the security
holders, public, and employees and
with provision for sharing excess
profits between the public and en-
ployes is proposed in a bill intro
duced to-day by Senator Lenroot, of
Wisconsin. The bill which differs
radically from the Plumb plan, was
drawn by the Citizens National
Railroad League in collaboration
with Senator Lenroot.
Under the proposed plan, the rail-
roads of the country would be placed
under the private ownership and op-

NEW JUNIOR HIGH
SCHOOLS OPENED
FOR FIRST TIME
Edison and Camp Curtin
Schools to Accommodate
2,700 Pupils

Friends of Robert A. Enders and
representatives of various civic So

much impressed with the general
excellence of the two new Junior
High schools, the Camp Curtin in
the Tenth ward, and the Thomas A.
Edison, in the eastern section of the
city, during an inspection to-day of
these two nearly completed build
ings.

Curtin school, which has more than

morning that the public will have
to be lenient with the management
for several weeks until matters are
working to the satisfaction of all
concerned.
1t is the regret of everybody con-
nected with the school board that
all of the eighth grade pupils can
not be accommodated in the two
buildings. The intention of the
board is to transform the Technical
High school building into a junior
High school as soon as it can take
care of the high school students in

TEAM OF FOUR
WOMEN SOUGHT
AS SHOPLIETERS
Strangers Leave Large Hand
bag When Detected by
Shopkeeper

What is believed to have been de-
signed as an extensive shoplifting
operation was nipped in the bud at
store in Market Square yesterday.
Four women were included in the
party which had started operations
in the store when discovered by en-
ployes, according to report received
at police station.
Actions of the women aroused the
suspicion of employees within a short
time after the quartet had entered
the store. Carefully watching them,
one of the employees noticed two of
them remove various articles from
the counters to large handbags which
they carried.
Starting toward the women with
the intention of recovering the stolen
articles, the man drew their atten-
ton to himself and they beat a
hasty retreat. A large handbag,
dropped by one of the quartet in her
flight, was later found on the store
floor, but it was empty. The four
made good their escape before suf-
ficient time was had to notify the
police. Detectives have been as
signed to the case, but they have
been handicapped because of the
amount of time that elapsed before
they could get to the scene.

England Stops Work
on Warships to Clear
Ways For Steamships
By associated Pres

London, Aug. 27. - All private
shipbuilding yards throughout the
country, numbering about twenty,
are effected by the government or
der that all work be stopped on war
ships except those about to be
launched. The Admiralty yards at
Chatham, Devonport and Ports-
mouth will not stop, however. as
they are entirely occupied with the
refitting of 2,700 steamers which
are about to be returned to the own
ers, from whom they were requisi-
toned for War service. Among the
warships being built at private yards
are cruisers ,destroyers and sub
marines and the work on some of
these may be continued. according
to the Mail, If it is found Cheaper
to complete than to break them
up.
The Mail quotes an officer of the
Admiralty as saying that one sound
reason for stopping work on war
ships is that the step will clear the
yards for commercial building.
There is an excellent demand for
new tonnage and this work will
probably absorb the men liberated
by the stoppage of work on naval
vessels.
According to the Glasgow Daily
Record work on forty warships
valued at 25,000,000 pounds ster-
ling. has been stopped.
