ISSUE PERMIT
FOR ERECTION
OF NEW STORE
Proposed Market Street Busi
ness Place to Cost
Ready October 1
llarrisburg's newest department I
store will be ready for occupancy by
October 1 unless the weather man or
some untoward conditions should com
bine to upset the calculations of Harry
Salkin, the proprietor.
The permit for the construction of
the new structure was taken out to
day and' called for a four-story mod
ern, fireproof, up-to-date structure at
: 50 Market street at a cost of $15,000
The actual cost of the building will j
probably amount to $30,000.
Mr. Salkin operates a string of j
stores, although his big place of busi- !
ness just now is at Saxton, Pa. Hisi
plans call for the erection of a de- l
partmem store in this city that will
compare favorably with modern struc
tures of the kind throughout the coun
ty. The name is still in question, al
though it is not unlikely that the new
place of business will be known as
•'Salkin's Subway Store."
The building will be erected by Her
man Tausig's Sons, the jewelers, and
will have a frontage of 27 feet and a
depth of 150 feet. The razing of the j
present building will begin about April j
I and Mr. Salkin's contract with Tau- j
sig's calls for occupancy by October 1. i
The Tausig-Salkin permit boosted I
to-day's building operations to $36,500. 1
In addition to tlie Tauslg permit J. j
E. Gipple took put a permit to build I
eight 2 l ;-story brick dwellings, from
1923 to 1937 Chestnut street, at a cost '
of SIB,OOO. while the John H. Weiss
i state obtained permission to remodel
four houses. 101-107 South street, to]
the extent of $3,500.

Differ as to Status
of Forestry Bureau;
H. J. Mueller Resigns
Difference of opinion between V.
Orant Forrer, the new working ne.ul
of the park department, and Harry J.
Mueller, city forester, as to the status
ot the forestry bureau and the park |
ami playgrounds branch of the city'
government, has precipitated the resig'- I
nation of Mueller.
The forester's resignation it is un- j
derstood becomes effective Wedncs- j
day, March 15, and E. Z. Gross, com- j
missioner of parks and public prop- !
i erty will probably make known this i
fact to Council to-morrow.
Mueller was appointed by ex-Com
missioner M. Harvey Taylor less than
a year ago when the office of city for
estry was created as a part of the park
department. With the appointment
by Commissioner Gross of Mr. Forrer
, as assistant superintendent and work
i ing executive, the question of whether
or not the forestry bureau was a part
• of the park office was raised by Muel
■ Ter. Mr. Forrer contended that the
office of commissioner of parks and
public property was the head of the
department absolutely, that the for
ester's bureau was only a part of it
. and that the forester is subject to the
I park commissioner's jurisdiction. Mr.
- Mueller took the position that the
: forestry bureau is a separate and dis
j tinct ollice. Mr. Gross' views coin
cided with Mr. Ferrer's, and Mr. Muel
ler's resignation was asked for.
Xo successor to Mueller has been
selected as yet.
[ No More Holy Wars
Among Moslems Says
Big Mission Leader
The congregation of Market Square j
Presbyterian Church listened atten- j
lively yesterday morning to a most
j illuminating talk on war conditions:
j and the spiritual attitude taken bv the '
(warring nations by George Innes, of
| Philadelphia, who ga*e up his big
banking and lumber business in order
to consecrate his life to the service of'
! humanity in foreign tields.
He dwelt particularly on the Turks
and the difficult which has been met
In attempts to Christianize thein. or at
least bring them to a realization that
there is a God. "The month of Octo
ber, 1314." he said, "was expected by
the many millions of Moslems to be a
day on which they should ugain start j
out and this time surely encircle the
; world us conquerors with a band of
steel. This gehat,' or holy war, which
they fel' they were waging, failed mis
| erably within three days after the
I pfowerful armies had started forth, for
! in that time per cent, of the ntirn
j her hid deserted." This, he declared,
| was proof that the presence of Chris
| tian missionaries among the Moslems.
| while it had converted none, had at
j least prevented the powerful coalition
' I of fervent Mohammedans and had
made impossible any future holy wars.

FOODS 1
THEY BUILD OR DESTROY
Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the
Things You Eat.
tCopyright I®l6 by Alfred W. McCann.)
==
CHAITKU »t
Tlie difference between "digestibil
it> '* is used an argument to frighten
tin- public awn> front the most nat
iiral, essential ami agreeable of food
reforms.
As to the bran sifted out <>f the
wheat meal in the preparation of tine, , J
white flour some millers say that the
silicon which the bran contains is
practically "ground glass." They can- (
tion humanity, therefore, against any
attempt to eat "ground glass," basing
their warning upon the idea that when
bran enters the body *is a food it
must necessarily be eliminated in a
' sand-papery condition that scours and
scratches iis victim unto death.
It would be quite as logical for them
to declare that because whole wheat
contains iron in an easily assimilable
form, therefore, such iron should be
removed in order to protect the body
from an attack of tacks and nails.
They could say with equal grace i
that because whole wheat contains;
calcium in an assimilable form the
calcium should be removed lest in
sonic whitewashing or plastering fash- I
ion it should stiffen up the walls of
the intestines with a fortification of j
cement.
Applying their philosophy, they
might well declare that because whole
wheat contains magnesium the mag
nesium should be removed for fear
ilie whole wlieat-eater might clog up
1 his digestive apparatus with an aectt- (
puliation of tool*ease or face powder. !
They could say that because whole I
wheat contains phosphorous in many
complex forms, such as the nucleo- I
proteins the lecithins and the simpler
phosphates, such phosphorous com- i
pounds should be removed in order !
that the stomaeli might not be con- |
verted into a match factory.
They could conveniently add to their :
arguments against whole wheat that
because it contains fluorides such
| fluorides should be removed so that
| the liver might not be etched like a :
I frosted windowpane or destroyed by '
| an attack of "rough on rats."
There are many prejudices to over
come before whole wheat bread, whole
wheat cakes, whole wheat biscuits,
whole wheat muffins, whole wheat
waffles and other whole wheat bread
stuffs. with all their wealth of vitality,
can be restored to the people. The
: "ground slass" idea will probably -
meet with the sympathy of many '
doomed souls who love their sickly
loaf. .
Some of the millers no further than
the "ground glass'' warning in their
attempt to defend white flour. They
actually declare that the bran of
wheat is a powerful irritant and.
therefore, people not in normal health
cannot use it without injury.
They say that whereas bran in whole
wheat might be advantageous In st>e- j
cial cases—an admission suggested by 1
the recent appearance on the market
of numerous brands of bran—it is an !
undesirable element in bread because ,
it Is "indigestible."
Paper is "Indigestible." so is nut- 5
meg, cinnamon. ginger, mustard, i
mace, allspice, cloves. The fiber of
orange, pineapple, celery, string beans,
asparagus, canteloupe, is "indigest
ible. The seeds of strawberries, rasp
berries, tigs, grapes are "Indigestible."
just as the bran of wheat is "indigest- |
Ible" and for the same reason, if the !
word "indigestible" is assumed to
mean that in their journey through
the body none of these substances is
taken up by the body and transformed
into tissue.
None of such substances is actually
| indigestible. In its course through
I the body the bran surrenders its solu
| ble extractives which are taken up bv
i the tissues and the residue which re
j mains behind is a water absorber. As
| such it performs a most important and
I necessary function in the intestines—•
! a function which will be fully de
: scribed later on.

What Ten Years Has Done
"Ten years ago I went to the Philip- ;
pines as a missionary. 1 met with j
some Britishers and when they learned
what I intended to do they told me
that my work would be useless, that !
they themselves had wflrked there and i
that the Spanish had worked there for
300 years, but let me say now that in i
the seventeen years that the islands!
have been under the guidance of the
United States the natives who speak <
good English and good Spanish are I
about evenly divided."
Mr. Pace told of the accomplish- I
ments in the Philippines and men- !
tioned the establishment of a stable
government, the development of com
merce and the civilizing of the na- 1
| fives and mentioned also the great !
work of the United States in clearing
up epidemics of Asiatic cholera. Head i
hunters ape now playing tug-o'-war, j
lie said, and they believe it. is the!
greatest thing in the world.
Itascball Fans, Too
"< in the islands, too," said Mr. Pace,
! "you will lind baseball and ice cream,
two things distinctly American. They
; are learning the English language |
rapidly, for in what other language \
j could baseball be played? In what!
| other language could you find slang '
I phrases to li{ every part of the game? j
"And now foi a little of my own |
| history. Ten years ago I was working
|on a Chicago newspaper. 1 was a!
j cartoonist there and 1 believed that 1
j could unseat presidents and congress- ;
I men. I was deep in politics, but finally, j
as tlie.v say, 1 got religion, lost interest i
in polities and heneewith my job. Rut !
I still could draw. Sonic time later 1 j
found myself on the Minnesota, one of
the largest Pacific liners touching the
Philippines. 1 amused myself on the
trip drawing pictures. On board that
same vessel was the captain of one of
the American warships. lie was!
dressed in civilian clothes, but it did 1
not lake long for the other passengers !
to know he was there because his wift !
was along nnd she told every person. I
t When she saw me drawing pictures
boiled ear of corn we eat the bran. '
Every time we eat Boston baked beans!
or fresh peas we eat the bran of these |
legumes. It is well indeed that we
eat these things because, while they
are not digested in themselves in the
sense of being taken up and oxidised
in the production ot" heat or energy,
they nevertheless contribute to the
body the soluble salts and colloids i
which they contain and without which
energy-producing foods are useless to
the living body.
I.et us take an animal membrane j
such as a bladder and till it with a
solution of any of the food niinernls
and hang it on a nail against the
wall. It will hang there for days,
weeks, or months, and there will be
no leakage of its contents through
the skin. Not a drop will ooze through j
the membrane to appear on the out
side. We see thai It guards its con
tents as faithfully as would a glass ,
j bottle properly corked.
If we now take the tilled bladder'
and immerse it in a, tub containing!
another solution of different density
a remarkable phenomenon will be ob
served. The contents of the bladder ,
■ will begin to pass out through the
] membrane into the solution on the i
j outside, and the solution on the out
side will begin to pass through the
I membrane to the inside, so that
I eventually the solution on the outside
and the solution on the inside will be
I Identical in character.
The dissimilar liquids will be thor
| oughly diffused. The process by which
this diffusion is brought about is called
osmosis, osmosis is going on in the
j body all the time.
We recreate and thus change the
mineral constituency of the internal
secretions every time we eat. We
thereby continue to change the char- |
acter and density of the fluids in !
which the cells are bathed. Thus do |
the cells obtain their nutriment. As
long as life continues osmosis does not
cease. Protoplasm derives its nutrl- i
i ment through this process of osmosis. |
In fevers or wasting diseases aecom- |
panied by extreme exhaustion as the
result of Inability to consume food, or |
in cases of starvation, the fluids inside
the cells gradually become identical
in specific gravity with the fluids in
which they are bathed so that osmosis 1
becomes very feeble. When it ceases
altogether death ensues.
The minerals which nature has put
into wheat and man so deliberately
removes from his diet are lost to ail
his needs and the vitalizing mission I
which they are designed to perform I
, naturally and benevolently are not
i performed at all.
Just as chopped meat surrenders its !
mineral salts to the water in which '
it is immersed so also does the bran !
of the wheat surrender its minerals
to the internal secretions of the body s
! in the same way.
tint bran not only furnishes indls
pensable mineral salts to the body.
! It also acts as a regulator of the peris- !
; taltic action of the alimentary tract ,
by which the contents of the intestines j
! are kept moving onward and down
-1 ward.
One of the curses which white bread
imposes upon humanity is constipa
tion. A thousand ills are traceable to 1
this disorder. Patent medicines by the
hundreds have been marketed in order
jto help pill-consumers bridge over
the misery which their white bread
inflicts upon them.
Constipation is the malevolent origin
of the woes of many American women
who. through the congestion set up bv
inhibited peristalsis, are afflicted with
uterine and ovarian diseases that
make their lives miserable.
Constipation is not the trifling dis
order which the public foolishly be
lieves it to be. We are about fo see
how grave it really is and to what |
extent it undermines the health and
vitality of America. A proper under- i
standing of the significance of consti- !
pation will do much to .destroy the
I white bread superstition.
she asked me if I would make a draw- ;
ing of her husband. I consented, and
then our conversation began to run
along other lines. She asked me where
I was going and when I told her 1 was
a missionary to the Philippines I am
sure that a target In midocean never i
got a greater fusillade of 13-inch pro- i
I iectiles from her husband's battleship I
i ban I got from her. She assailed me !
for going and burying myself in such .
a country when i had such talents. I
; Often since then i have thought, when j
my house was surrounded and stoned,
. 'ls is worth while to bury yourself
here?' but now when I look back over
; the Held and see .that 1 have helped
j to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ
among those people 1 say 'Jt is worth
j while'."
Mr. Pace's was one of the most 1
forceful and gripping talks eveV heard j
at a missionary conference and a burst
of applause greeted him when he had I
concluded.
Talks On India
The session this morning was open
ed with the singing of several hymns,
followed by prayers by a number of
ministers. The first speaker was the j
Rev. L. R. Wolf, D. D., for twenty-1
five years a missionary in India. At
present he is secretary of the foreign '
missions of the general synod of the
I I-utheran church. Mr. Wolf spoke of'
) the various classes in India, the I
Rrahmans, the middle class and the '
] slaves. "In India," he said, "there!
are 70.000,000 Mohammedans and this ;
Mohammedan religion presents to the i
[ Christian world, the supreme chal- j
; lenge. Rut many of them are not!
pure Mahammedans; neither are they
true Persians. They have been
I brought into Mohammedanism by the !
sword and they may be shaken loose
by Christianity. There are between
thirty and forty millions of people in
i India who are not considered Hindus
jby the higher classes and in a few
I years 30.000,000 of these will be Chris-
I tians if the church in this country:
i does its part."
Mr. Wolf also talked of intellectual
India arid said that the country con- !
[ tains some of the brightest men in
the world. These people, he con- j
j tinned are among the Brahmans. Some
:of these, according to the minister, !
are being converted but the majority
are waiting to see what the middle |
class will do. "The middle class is j
• turning,' said Mr. Wolf, "and the
Kralimans are seeing the hand writing
on the wall."
Xml Missionaries
The Rev. Mr. Wolf impressed upon !
the conference the necessity for pre- i
paring and sending more missionaries
to India. He declared that the war
has turned hundreds of missionaries
from the country and that four big
missions are now being cared for by
[substitutes, who naturally cannot cpre
for the wants of the converts as the
regular missionaries who have been
associated with the people did. At

Heady to Turn
"Compulsory education and voca- !
jtional training is rapidly driving illiter-
I acy from the country." said Mr. j
Schneder, "and Japan is now ready J
ito turn over to Christianity. In 1911
! a high government official was ap-.
j pointed to go to the United States.;
j England, France and Germany to j
study conditions. A year later in his
report he said he found that at the;
bottom of all that was good is the j
i power of the gospel of Jesus Christ
and that statement has had great j
i effect on the government since. Hence. !
Japan has opened her doors even
more widely to Christianity. The,
whole nation is moving toward the'
Christian religion. It has advanced j
[much farther than it was 25 years!
ago. It is so thickly populated that
when it does move it moves as a mass. |
"The Christian schools are filled to j
overflowing, much more so than the)
government schools, because the.vi
exert a greater moral influence and j
this appeals to Ihe people. Japan Is
the strategic country, too, for what j
she does will have great effect on i
other countries in the Far East and
all non-Christian countries. Japan is
neglected just now. Years ago mis
sionaries from various churches ponr
! Ed into the country, but now ihev have
become old or have died and. they
have not been replaced. She is now \
in the balance and if the work iai
| pushed forward, Japan will soon be;
a Christian nation.
' "There is talk of some difficulties
; between this country and Japan but
; if the country can be approached 011 1
ia Christian basis no trouble will j
! come."
