IN TftE '
ONCE AGAIN CHURCH
OBSERVES HIS BIRTH
Special Services of Song and Story
Throughout Day; Char
ity Big Feature
MMMMBMM lIIS birthday will
be observed once
again by the Chris
tian world beginning
with the midnight
.. hour. No day, with
p* •' .JL | tho exception of Eas
mKM ter, perhaps, has so
" • ilfll" much significance to
the Christian and
I certainly none is
hfcjUfna** fraught with so much
" ,al spirit of
"Good Will Toward
Men" which lie came
i. _ to bring to a down
" ' trodden humanity.
In many of the Harrisburg churches
special prayer and song services will
begin at 11 o'clock to-night lasting
until after midnight when the anni
versary of the Birth will be hailed
with special carol singing. In others
early morning services will be held.
In still others services will be held
in the morning or evening with com
munion and sermons as special fea
tures.
The children, of course, will take
tho most important part in many a
church, for it is distinctly a dav for
the young folk. Sunday School teach
ers have been busy training the little
folk for weeks, and to-morrow the
boys and girls will make their little
speeches and sing their Utile songs
tolling the wonderful story of the Star,
tho Wise Men and the Manger.
Many a church has made arrange
ments to observe the day in a truly
practical way, distributing baskets of
good things to the poor. Hundreds
of poor families will be unostenta
tiously cared for by the Christian
people of the city without anyone's
being the wiser. The young peoples'
societies will be especially active to
morrow looking after the youngsters
of the poor that these "little ones"
may have a bit of joy.

At first no dlsuaso is apparently more
harmless than dropsy; a little swelling
of the eyelids, hands, feet, ankles or ab
domen. Finally there is great shortness
of breath, cough, faint spells, some
times nausea and vomiting, even burst
ing of the limbs and a lingering and
wretched death if tho dropsy is not re
moved.
I >r. Miles has been known as a lead
ing specialist in these diseases for 35
years. His liberal offer of a $3.7S
Treatment free to all sufferers, Is cer
tainly worthy of serious consideration
I'ou may never have such an oppor
tunity again.
The Grand Dropsy Treatment consists
of four dropsy remedies in one ,alsf
Tonic Tablets and Pura-Laxa for re
moving the water. This treatment If
•specially prepared for each patient ant
is ten times as successful as that o!
most physicians. It usually relieves th<
