Special to The Telegraph
Mechanicsburg, Pa., Jan. 25.—More
than 300 conversions in one week is
the record of what in all probability
Will be the greatest revival known In
<'uraberland county. People come
from distances by automobile, carriage
and on foot. One man said he walked
sixteen miles to attend the meeting.
More than an hour before the service
commenced last evening throngs of
people were going to the tabernacle,
and long before the hour to begin hun
dreds were disappointed and turned
away. There were eighty-six Gonver
siohs yesterday. Almost SI,OOO has
already been contributed, without any
apparent effort.
Parents bringing children, and chil
dren bringing parents, sisters, broth
ers. and entire families coming in tears
to the altar, were scenes of the past
few evenings. 11. H. Thomas, editor
of the Daily Journal, with his son and
daughter, .and the three children of
Professor Surface were among those
who grasped tho welcoming hand of
Evangelist Miller last evening and tho

Quickly Relieves
Without Distress
The oongescion of waste and
refuse in the stomach, ferment
ing in the bowels, generates poi
sorvbus gases that occasion dis
tress and Invite serious illness.
Health and comfort demand that
this congestion be speedily re
lieved and the foul mass expelled.
The well-founded objection most
people have to the violence of ca
thartic and purgative agents is
overcome by using the combina
tion of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores
under the name of Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. A dose at right
brings relief next morning, with
out discomfort or inconvenience.
A free trial bottle can be obtained

Important Bill Will Be Presented
to the Legislature During
This Week
Ambulance chasing lawyers in New

vest In the trial of t Pennsylvania tres
pass cases in the federal courts in
New York City, will be put out ot
business if a bill being drafted by P.
F. O'Neill, of Wilkes-Barre, assistant
general counsel for the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company, is passed at this
session.
The O'Neill bill is to provide that
aliens injured in or about the work
ings of a corporation or individual in
this State must commence their suits
for damages in the gederal courts sit
ting in Pennsylvania, either at Phila
delphia, Harrisburg, Seranton or Pitts
burgh.
Verdicts that run into the thousands
are not uncommon in New York in
cases wherein former Pennsylvanians
are plaintiffs. Lawyers employed by
the defendant coal mining and railroad
companies that have been hard hit in
this connection, claim that the New
York ambulance chasing syndicate
send their agents here to secure clients
and then hustle them off to New York
where they are fed, clothed and
■ housed during the six months' period
required to establish a legal residence
in the metropolis.
Then, too, the lawyers of this State,
say that under the rigid rules of the
New York bar association it is prac
tically impossible for a nonresident
attorney to T>e admitted. He must be
endorsed by six New York lawyers,
who must vouch for their knowing
him socially as well as professionally
for a period of three years. -

THREE REASONS
Each W illi Two Legs and Ten Fingers
A Boston woman who is a fond
mother writes an amusing article
about her experience feeding her boys.
Among other things she says:
"Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys,
Bob, Jack and Dick, respectively, are
three of our reasons for using and rec
ommending the food, Grape-Nuts, for
these youngsters have been fed on
Grape-Nuts since infancy, and often
between meals when other children
would have been given candy.
"T gave a package of Grape-Nuts to
a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was
a weakened little thing, ill hair the
time. The little tot ate the Grape-
Nuts and cream greedily and the
mother continued the good work, and
it was not long before a truly wonder
ful change manifested itself in the
child's race and body. The results were
remarkable, even for Grape-Nuts.
"Both husband and I use Grape-
Nuts every day and keep strong and
well and have threo of the linest
healthiest boys you can tlnd in a day'B
march."
Many mothers instead of destroying
the children's stomachs with candy
and cake give the youngsters a hand
ful of Grape-Nuts when they are be«-
King for something In the way of
sweets. The result is soon shown in
greatly Increased health, strength and
mental activity.

Government Opposes Legislation j
Prohibiting Export of Muni
tions of War
By Associated Press
Washington, Jan. 25.—Senator
Stone, chairman of the Senate com
mittee on Foreign Relations, arranged
to incorporate in the records of the
Senate to-day the long reply which he
received from Secretary Bryan de
fending the Washington government's
interpretation of its rights anil duties
as a neutral in the present war.
The letter from the Secretary or
State prepared after consultation with
President Wilson, counsellor Lansing
and the legal officers of the govern
ment constituted the administration's
answer to those who have been charg
ing in numerous letters to the State
Department as well as in the press and
public speeches that the American
government's neutrality discriminated
against Germany and Austria.
Secretary Bryan summarized popu
lar misconception on this point and
explained that the superiority thus far
of the British naval power had in
reality been responsible for the in
ability of Germany and Austria to
fare as well as their opponents in
matters of ammunition and contra
band.
Not America's Affairs
"It is the business," he wrote, "of
a belligerent operating on the high
seas not the duty of a neutral to pre
vent contraband from reaching an
enemy- Those In this country who
sympathize with Germany and Aus
iria-Hungary appear to assume that
some obligation rests upon this gov
ernment in tlie performance of Its
neutral duty, to prevent ail trade in
contraband and thus to equalize the
difference due. to the relative naval
strength of the belligerents. No such
obligation exists."
While the letter was devoted large
ly to answering criticisms it revealed
many features of the administration's
policies hitherto unexplained.
The Washington government has
now announced itself as opposed to
CASTOR IA
For Infants and Children
In Use For Over 30 Years

Signature of
JANUARY ZS r 1915.
legislation prohibiting the export of
munitions of war.
The letter reveals also that the
United States has taken the position
that it cannot 1 permit belligerent ves
sels to remove from American ships
on the high seas any passengers even
I though they be Germans or Austrians
I nor can promises be exacted from
I them not to participate in the war.

By Associated Press
Washington. Jan. 25.—Party lines
were drawn in the Senate to-day for

ness, having been made a party meas
ure which more than two-third of
