One of the big features of the Pre-
mier is the electric gear shift which Is
placed on the steering wheel post and
does away with the gear shifting lever.
The gears are all shifted by simply
pressing n button. This feature has

motor and many of the other important
points of the car are of the latest de-

SELDEN TRUCKS PLAYED
BIG PART IN WORLD WAR

In a recent circular sent out to users
of Selden trucks from the Selden fac
tory at Rochester, army photographs of
the Selden in operation at the front
large fleets OF trucks on their way
across the pond and many other inter-
esting articles of the big part the Sell
den played in the world war was de-
picted.
Along with these photos of the Sell
den in the war were large number of
photos of Seldens doing practically
every kind of work under the sun. One
of the photos was a large Selden truck
used as a stage coach for carrying pas
sengers between two cities and another
was a large undertaker's machine with
trucks for hauling coal, express ma
chimes, lumber machines ice cream ma
chimes and others too numerous to mem
ton sandwiched in between.
There are quite a number of Seldens

AEROPLANE, ARMY TANK
AND LIBERTY MOTOR TO BE
SHOWN AT THE AUTO SHOW

One of the interesting exhibits at the
coming show will be a regular army
aeroplane, an army tank and the ia
nous Liberty motor. These exhibits will
prove of unusual interest due to the
fact that Harrisburgers have been
thrilled day after day lately by the
army aeroplanes from the Middletown
Aviation Camp soaring around over
head. They will be suspended from
the ceiling of the big room in which
the show will be held. 1t will be about
eight feet from the floor so that 1t is

The army tank is the same model as
those that were in actual operation on
the western front against the Hun. This
tank will hold the center of attraction
in space opposite the orchestra and
is sure to draw large crowds. A regu-
lar army officer will be in charge and
will explain its many working points
and it is possible that there will he ex-
hibtions on the outside as to just how

way than the solid tire. A speed OF
forty or fifty miles an hour is obtain
able with pneumatic tires and the cost
of upkeep to the truck is brought down
to minimum. They are practically
puncture-proof.
Next week a number of the leading
merchants will display these tires in
their windows and during the show
there will be at least eight trucks
equipped with the Pioneer pneumatic

TELLS DYSPEPT|CS
WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach
Heartburn, Gas on Stomach, Etc.

Indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble, say medical au-
thorities, are due nine times out of
ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid
in the stomach. Chronic "acid
stomach" is extremely dangerous and
sufferers should do either one of two
things.
Either they can go on a limited and
often disagreeable diet. avoiding foods
that d. d.sagree with them, that irritate
the stomach and lead to excess acid
secretion or they can eat as they
please in reason and make it a prac-
ticc to counteract the effect of the
harmful acid and prevent the forma-
ton OF gas, sourness or premature
fermentation by the use of little BIZ
sUrated Magnesia at their meals.
There is probably no better, safer or
more reliable stomach antiacid than
Bisurated Magnesia and it is widely
used for this purpose. 1t has no
direct action on the stomach and is
not digestant But a teaspoonful of
the powder or a couple of five grain
tablets will neutralize the excess
acidity which may be present and pre-
vent it's further formation. This re-
moves the whole cause of the trouble
and the meal digests naturally and
healthfully without need of pepsin
pills or artificial digestants.
Get a few ounces of Bisurated Mag
nesia from any reliable druggist. Ask
for either powder or tablets 1t never
comes as liquid. milk or citrate and
in the bisurated form is not a laXa-
tive. Try this plan and see II this
isn't the best advice you ever had on
what to eat."-Geo. A. Gorgas.

HOW CAN | ESCAPE
THE PITFALLS OF
DISEASE THIS SPRING?

The weakened, rundown feel
ing of lassitude that seems to
have possession of you is some
times called Spring fever" and
its symptoms are we'll known
Your appetite has failed, your
energy seems gone, night finds
you all tired out, and that run
down, good-for-nothing feeling
seems to have full possession OF
you.
The human body is just like a
piece of fine machinery, al
though few people give it as
much consideration. A locomo-
tive is given a thorough over
hauling after each trip. Your
body has brought you safely
through the winter season and
the voyage has taxed your
strength. Very naturally, there
has been considerable wear and
tear which must be repaired.
Your system needs, first of
all, a thorough cleansing and
toning up to replace the natural
waste and wear. Impurities have
accumulated, and these aggra-
vate your rheumatism, or make
your catarrh worse, or intensity
any skin disorder which you
may be afflicted with.
Very naturally, then, you are
ready to ask: What am | to do
to put my system in tiptop shape
for the coming of springtime, so
that | will be in condition to
withstand the common ailments
so prevalent in summer"

her after awhile. And she hated to
see me worried about Ralph. so
used to try to keep up before them. y
The Meeting
Last January my husband came to
Coblenz about his citizen papers. An
American soldier in Ralph's company
who was in the Office heard his name
and asked him il he was any relation
to Ralph. He didn't tell him Ralph
was in Coblenz. but went after Ralph.
He didn't tell Ralph his father was
here. When they met they couldn't
believe their eyes"
Ever since then l have been trying
to see Ralph. He couldn't come to
Weisbaden because II was out of the
American area and L couldn't get
through until to-day-more than two
months"
They asked her if her Ralph had
changed much in all that time.
"Oh, yes-very much. But do you
Know I think it is because all that

long time when I didn't know where
he was or how he was-l got in the
habit of thinking of him as he was
when he was baby-I kept seeing
him as Il baby and remembering the
way he felt when he was little.
Isn't that queer? And now look at
him"
And the corporal tried not to see
the alteration in her eyes.
Five years is a long time to wait
to see your boy" she murmured, and
kept mere eyes on him. Again she has
forgotten the people around her.
The corporal cleared his throat.
This is why l asked you If you could
keep my mother. Miss Woodsmall. I
didn't want her to come unless she
had good place to stay. All, e-e-r
thanks awfully."
And that is the story of how the
Hostess House happened to entertain
the only known A. L. +. mother who
has visited the Army of Occupation.

What Must | Do to Be
Able to Resist the
Many Ailments So
Prevalent in Sum-
mer?

Natures greatest transition is
the change from Winter into
Spring - the passing away of
one season and a re-awakening
of new life everywhere.
Trees. flowers, plants of every
description, having consumed
all the vitality which was stored
UP to carry them through the
dreary winter, bud forth with
new energy and blossom into
flower, preparing to grow and
accumulate new strength and
development.
But the human system has not
passed through the winter sea-
son in a dormant state like the
trees and plants. You have been
called upon to expend energy
and vitality constantly. In fact,
there has been a greater demand
upon your strength to withstand
the rigorous winter than at any
other season of the year.
So that as spring approaches
the most joyous season of the
entire year-very often it finds
Our system so run down and
your strength so depleted from
the strenuous demands of winter
that your vitality is at a low
ebb, and YOU ere unable to enjoy
the beauties Of springtime that
are so abundantly present on
every hand.
