of Coffee, Madam! of Caffeine, Doctor!
Same Drug—Different Form
More and more, it is becoming common knowledge that an ordinary cup of
coftee contains about 2 1 / 2 grains of caffeine, an irritating drug.
Because of this drug, coffee drinking frequently races the heart, interferes
with digestion, upsets the nerves, and leaves one weakened and depressed. As
a drug, caffeine has medicinal value, but only when administered by a compe
tent physician.
It" constant use of coffee, with its drug content, agrees with you, why—
keep right on —no one should object. ,
But—thousands of people have rid themselves of coffee troubles, and ex
perienced wonderful improvement in health by changing to

aid's Elk actor-folks. The feminine
contingent was absorbed to the point
of abstraction during that part or the
show In which the big. but delightfully
gowned chorus came on, and during the
homeward ride they were abstracted to
the point of dreaminess. Many a puz
zled -Elk has since wondered at the
wifely complaint of lack of "a thing to
wear."
Perhaps a word as to what the show
is to be won't be amiss:
Objections, It appears. have been
made as to the Elks masquerading ns
females and It has even been hinted
that the play isn't really anything too
nice for the community's morals. This
led to a general protest by the more
noble-minded citizens, and it is fianlly
decided that the show cannot be pro
duced until after It has been passed
upon by the borough board of censors.
So the Elks play before the board
of censors and the board approves. One
member even goes so far as to invite
the company to his country home.
And there DOES lie a taie.

PREACH ONCE AGAIN
[Continued from First Page.]
apostle warns the young preacher not
to "partake of the sins of others." He
used the Scriptural words as a basis
for an attack on church people who
countenance individual and commun
ity sinfulness without a murmur, de
claring that such church members are
every whit as guilty as those who
commit the wrong.
Who's to Blaine?
Who' 3. to Blame?" was the formal
subject of his sermon, and he pointed
out who is responsible for the law
breaking booze dives, the brothels,
the gambling dens, the street-walkers
and the dancing halls of the vice dis
tricts. He laid this responsibility first
to the "preachers In the pulpit who
are afraid to tell the truth," and to
the "church members in the pews who
sit with folded hands while hundreds
of young girls are bespotled, besmirch
ed, bedamned, and hundreds of young
men are being hurled to drunkards'
graves."
'Such people kicked in Harrisburg
because I talked directly to the
church folk while I was there. Why
I didn't talk long enough to them; I
didn't get ail the preachers convert
ed up there."
"Aniens!" From Harrisbiirgcrs
\Yhen the "Aniens!" from the Har
risburg contingent had subsided, Dr

evangelist, "which at sorie time or

Goes After Liquor Signers

here in Lancaster, and ln Harrisburg,
too, some church members have
signed license applications," he
went on, as though amazed. "I want
to tell you that the man who signs a
liquor application is just as responsi
ble for the drunkards' souls that go
to hell as the fellow who shoves the
booze over the bar!"
Dr. Stough then took occasion to
praise the efforts or Governor Brum
baugh for the fight he is putting up
for local option. "Pray for the Gov
ernor—the best man, who has sat in
the chair in these many years—and
back him up in his light to give Penn
sylvanian's citizens the right to de
cide whether or not they want booze.
Go home to-night, you men of Har
risburg, and write letters to vour leg
islators so that they'll know what you
want."
"We all have:" some one shouted
from the Harrisburg group.
"Write them some more," suggest
ed Dr. Stough.
Api>cals to Parents
Dr. Stough ended his sermon with
an appeal to parents to look more
closely to the spiritual welfare of
their children, declaring "More
youngsters don't want to go to heaven
because they fear the daddies and
mammies will be there to treat them
like dogs, just as they do on earth.
They don't want the sort of religion
you have."
Following the sermon the Lancas
ter people were given ail opportunity
to say "How-dy-do" to the Harrls
burg folk. The Harrisburgers filled
the chorus platform in the Lancaster
tabernacle and sang the old familiar
campaign songs under the direction
of Professor Spooner.
The Harrisburgers went to Lancas
ter in a special train of two sections,
Including seventeen coaches. As they
paraded out the Lancaster streets to
the tabernacle they sang "onward.
Christian Soldiers" while thousands of
the townspeople lined the curbstones.
Several thousand Lancaster people
were turned away from the taber
nacle because of the lack of room. As
it was, the big building was packed
tight as a sardine box, the "S It O"
sign being out long before 7.80
o'clock. Dr. Stough ws presented by
his Harrisburg friends with a huge
basket of American Beauty roses and
the entire Stough party was called
on the platform to say "thank you!"
for the inark of appreciation.
Local Ministers Participate
The Rev. Dr. J. T. Spangler, pas
tor of the First United Brethren
Church, this city, prayed at the open
ing of the services. Dr. J. A. Lyter,
pastor of Dery Street United Breth
ren Church, told of the remarkable
awakening in his church since the
campaign. Professor Spooner, the
musical director for Dr. Stough, in
troduced Charles F. Cllppinger, direc
tor of the Harrisburg Evangelistic
Chorus, under whoso direction the big
excursion was held. Mr. Clippinger
led the chorus in a song and a num
ber of yells. E. F. Weaver, executive
secretary of the local campaign com
mittee, presented Dr. Stough with a
check for $lO sent him "by a Har
risburg admirer."
The Hurrlsburg folk were particu
larly interested in the big tabernacle
at Lancaster. It is not quite so large
as the tabernacle in this city, and is
heated with "cannon" stoves instead
of with stejim. Jt holds about 9,500
people.
The "sawdust cough" has the Lan
caster people gripped, too, and Dr.
Stough had to urge that the coughing
be suppressed.
"It's hard for a man to keep quiet
on two occasions—when he wants to
talk back to his wife and when he
wants to cough." he chuckled.
Returning, the Hn rrisburgers left
Lancaster at 10.30, arriving here an
hour later.
