Students of Whole World Object
of Present Day of Prayer
John R. Mott, on of World's Student Chris
tian Federatio\ Issues Call to Churches
By THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER
Sunday, February 27, Is observed as
r universal Day of Prayer for stu
dents. This Is one of the world-wide
netlvities of organized Christianity
liublic print, yet Is profoundly perva
sive, and apart from its distinctly
spiritual aspect, is a propaganda of
immeasurable magnitude.
The call is Issued by John R. Mott, J
general secretary of the World's Stu
dent Christian Federation. It wasj
issued long: ago and has gone to all ]
< orners of the earth. The day is kept i
with more seriousness in some small
missionary communities in tropical
Africa than it is in New York City.
The Christians in Japan, who are |
profoundly perturbed over the new
national problems created by the swift!
increase of education have a keen
interest in this Day of Prayer. Chinese
pastors, as well as missionary educa- !
tors of the great university centers In
China, alike will stress the significance
of the occasion. Throughout bottled- I
up India, and in the depleted colleges:
of Turkey and of Europe, the Day of
Prayer for students will be kept In
unity with the churches of America.;
Even in the trenches this day, I
which figures in no dispatches, will be
remembered by thousands. The uni- j
versifies of Europe have been emptied
for military service, yet the soldiers'
have taken their student conscious- ■
ness with them to a remarkable de-1
gree. The demand for literature by
these university men in the trenches!
has been one of the religions phenom-!

Jiaiiir Itcport Cured After Others Failed
At first no disease is apparently more
harmless than dropsy; a little swelling
of the eyelids, hands, feet, ankles or
abdomen. Finally there is great short
ness of breath, cough, faint spells,
sometimes nausea and vomiting, even
bursting of the limbs and a lingering
and wretched death if the dropsy is not
removed.
IJ'r. Miles has been known as a lead
ins specialist in these diseases for ;!0
year*. His liberal offer of a $3.75 Treat
ment free to all sufferers, is certainly
worthy of serious consideration. You
may never again have such an oppor
tunity.

is specially prepared for each patient
attid is much more successful than that

DANGEROUS VARICOSE
VEINS CAN BE REDUCED
If you or any relative or friend is
worried because of varicose veins, or
bunches, the best advice that anyone
In this world can give Is to get a pre
scription that many physicians are
now prescribing.
Ask your druggist for an original
two-ounce bottle of Emerald Oil (full
strength) and apply night and morn
ing to the swollen, enlarged veins. Soon
you will notice that they arc growing
smaller and the treatment should be
continued until the veins are of normal
size. So penetrating and powerful is
Emerald Oil that it dissolves goitre and
wens and causes them to disappear. It
can always be secured at all drug
gists.—Advertisement.

AT THE MINES
From sources of informa
tion available it looks as if
April 1 will come without a
new agreement between
operators and miners.
Whether this will precipitate
a strike is a difficult ques
tion to answer. Perhaps
an automatic cessation of
work until an agreement is
reached. In any event the
cost of any concessions will
have to be paid by the con
sumer.
Scarcity of labor owing to
the war and shortage of cars
to transport coal to the mar
ket have made the situation
bad enough, let alone threats
of a strike.
Buy coal now while there
is plenty of It available.
Thousands of tons now
stored in our yards.

FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 25, 1916
ena of the war. One of John R. j
Mott's books for students has been |
circulated in the trenches of Germany j
to the extent of forty-three thousand :
copies.
Soldiers of Civilization
The sobered thought of humanity |
is more inclined to-day to heed all
calls to prayer than it was five years
ago. It sees the effect of the present;
cataclysm upon civilization. The need 1
for new national and international
leadership, and for the Inflow of new !
ideals and forces into society is rnani- ;
fest. Christian students must. In i
large part meet theso needs. If the
Ideals of civilization are to be pre-:
served, Christianity must have a large
part in preserving them. Within j
educational realms the state of mind ,
is more serious to-day than for a
generation past.
Religious rivals In educational cen-j
tcrs, ai-e reported from all parts of |
the land. Special campaigns have
been conducted In the big Kastern j
universities, as well as in the small i
Western colleges..Nor are these meet- !
ings confined to America alone, i
George Sherwood Eddy has just re- j
turned from India, where his amazing
series of evangelistic meetings among
Chinese and Japanese students have ;
been duplicated. The "Billy" Sunday
campaigns in certain great cities are j
quite matched by the less notorious:
revivals in educational centers.
Campaigning In Colleges
A concentration of effort in behalf
of the Christianization of the college |
life of America is under way at the
present time. The effeet that both I
the churches and the Young Men's;
Christian Associations are united in 1
observing this as a Day of Prayer is i
merely symptomatic. Some denomina
tions. notably the Presbyterian, have
been having a week of college visita- i
tlon in their denominational institu-1
tions during the past six days.
The whole country is covered with |
a net work of special effort for higher I
institutions of learning. Most of the,
leading denominations now have a
department of student work. They l
employ a staff of "Student Pastors"
experts who give themselves wholly
to the spiritual care ol' the students
in the great universities. Various
plans of the university churches have
been adopted by the denominations,
and in some cases denominational
houses akin to the fraternities have
been opened.
Delegations of the strongest minis- '
ters in certain denominations have
been set apart for weeks at a time to
do work in the colleges. The aim is
to keep the students in vital touch
with Christianity and with church
work. It is a well-known fact that
the average student during his absence
from home at college loses contact
with church activities, and Is com
monly lost to church work.
A V. M. C. A. Army
Whilo less known to the public
than the great city Y. M. C. A.'s, the
college work of the Association is of
unmeasured significance. There are
student Y. M. C. A.'s In seven hun
dred and seventy institutions, and a
proportionately large number of Y.
W. C. A.'s in women's colleges and co
educational institutions. Seventy-five
thousand men are enrolled in these
associations, and thirty-eight thou
sand are members of Bible classes.
Nine thousand men are working in
college communities in practical so
cial service.
A veritable military staff of gen
eral secretaries direct the Y. M. C. A.
work in the colleges of the land. It
has been said that the leaders of these
men, like A. J. Eliot, I l *. P. Turner
and John R. Mott, have a better grasp
of the basic moral and religious
phases of present-day education in
America than do the famous college
presidents themselves. This does not
imply any lack of sympathy or co
operation between the educators and
1 lie Y. M. C. A. men. On the contrary
there is a new and close co-operation,
so that educational institutions lend
hearty support to the observance of
the Day of Prayer for colleges.
All alert churches in the land will
I make recognition of this special ob
servance of February 27 as a Day of
Prayer; for the cause is one that has
the special sympathy of parents
whose children are at college. The
general keeping of the day betokens
the widespread interest of the whole
Church in the Christian leadership of
to-morrow.

THE HOUiS OF KUPPENHEIMKH
STATE WORK HAS
TO BE CURTAILED
Notice Given by Stale Depart
ment of Agriculture About
Vaccination Plans
Announcement of curtailment of one
branch of State work because of the
hundreds of thousands of dollars
spent because of the foot and mouth
disease, has just been made by the
Department of Agriculture. For a
number of years through the State
livestock sanitary board it has carried
out a Spring vaccination against an
thrax and blackleg and State Veterin
arian C. J. Marshall has notified all
the veterinarians of the State and all
stock owners upon whose premises
cither anthrax or blackleg has existed
in recent years, that the vaccination
cannot be carried on by the State
agents this year. The department,
however, will supply the materials for
vaccination to qualified veterinarians.
Vaccination is strongly urged by the
State livestock sanitary board, and
stock owners who desire protection are
urged to get into touch with a qualified
veterinarian who in turn must notify
the State livestock board of the
names and addresses of owners of
stock wishing protection and the num
ber of cattle to be vaccinated. Veter
inarians receiving supplies must sub
mit reports of ail work and the re
sults obtained.
The vaccinations carried on by the
State In former years have saved the
stock owners thousands of dollars.
Were it not for the vaccinations, par
AS WE GROW OLDER
our minds are quite as active as in
former years but our strength does not
respond when we need it most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stiffened joints
beset us, and we cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in Scott's Emulsion to renew the blood
and carry strength to every organ of the
body, while its glycerine soothes the res
piratory tract, and its hypophosphites
strengthen the excitable nerves.
Scott's Emulsion is a scientific oil
food, of unusual benefit to those past
fifty years —particularly during the
colder seasons, it imparts warmth and
creates strength. One bottle will prove
its worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs.
«colt & Howne. BloouilitlU.N. J. IS-36
ticularly those against anthrax, it
would be impossible to use many good
pastures in this State that are per
manently infected.
State Veterinarian Marshall says:
"There is no doubt but these two di
seases can be prevented by vaccination
if the vaccine is given properly at the j
right time. On premises where the i
disease has existed in previous years
it is best that the vaccination should
be made before the stock is turned out
in the Spring, for the reason that it i
can be done much more conveniently
while the animals are in the stable. Jt
is not safe for the vaccinated animals
to be exposed to either of these di
seases for from ten days to two weeks j
after the vaccine is given. The im
munity produced by the vaccine in j
either disease lasts for about one year, j
hence the necessity of making annual,
vaccinations. You should arrange to j
havo this done at least three weeks be
fore you plan to turn your stock to
pasture."
MILKMAN'S CHARIOT COMES
TO GRIEF ON SECOND ST. I
A bit of deserted wreckage at Sec- j
ond and Harris streets at an early i |
hour yesterday gave evidence of j
the fact that a milkman had somehow '
come to grief. Lying on its side on j
the west side of the street, absolutely j
forsaken, and with one wheel off and ,
the spokes shattered, horseless shafts, .
perforated floor where a milk can had 1
apparently done damage, was a milk- ]
man's chariot which bore the name of j
the Pennsylvania Milk Products Com- ' \
pany. This company this morning l
disclaimed any gnowledge of an acci- j 1

CLEANSE THE KIDNEYS
AND ENJOY LIVING
Backaches, Headaches, Lumbago and Rheumatic Pains Disappear
Before New Remedy.—A Great Success
Did you ever stop to consider that
ninety per cent, of the diseases that
human flesh is heir to are preventable?
Do you realize that most of the pain
ful and comfort destroying diseases
such as lumbago, rheumatism, pains,
backaches, headaches, etc., may be
caused by acid crystals in the kidneys?
Eminent medical authorities agree that
the kidneys must always be kept clean
fn order to maintain life and health.
The best advice for this is to drink
plenty of good water, eat lots of fresh
vegetables and always keep the filter
ing walls of the kidneys free from
clogging impurities. You cannot force
water through rubber, neither can the
kidneys strain the poisonous impuri
ties from the blood if they are coated
with waterproof acid crystals.
A new discovery for keeping the kid
neys free from uric acid is meeting
