111 "THEIR MARRIED LIFE"!
H j
Helen had come to the conclusion
that her suspicion had been all wrong:.
One night at dinner Warren had casu
ally mentioned the fact that Miss Evans
was working in the office next to him.
Helen observed him carefully under her
eyelashes to see if he looked at all
guilty, but hie countenance remained
perfectly normal.
"I saw her In the elevator," he re
marked, "although Endicott had told
me she was working for him."
"How is she —as pretty as ever?"
"She looks cheap. Helen; perhaps I
failed to notice It before, but the fact
is certainly obvious now. I think her
face was made up a little, and she
has faded."
"But she was such a young girl War
ren."
"I know It, but the life she has led
would make her worldly very quickly.
Her chief quality was her freshness, and
if a girl isn't careful in preserving that,
It leaves only too quickly."
WomanMke, Helen instantly began
to pity the woman who had made her
miserably unhappy. The fact that she
was no longer so lovely made Helen
magnanimous, and she began to be
sorry for the manner in which she had
judged the girl's attitude.
After all. a girl like that had little
upbringing and her beauty was a snare
and a pitfall rather than a valuable as
set. Helen could afford to be generous
now that her own reasons for Jealousy
were over. But how thankful she was
that she no longer had that worry
hanging over her.
Right at this time Babbie Bell gave
a party. Helen had not seen Babble
in a long time and she and Warren had
iiccepted the invitation with alacrity.
The affair was to celebrate a piece of
good luck of Tom's, and Helen, glad
she had suitable clothes, arrayed her
self in her stunning white costume and
prepared to enjoy herself to the full.
A Happy Party
Babbie had had her llvingroom done
over in brown wicker and chintz, and
the old piano that she and Tom had
bought for the rathskellar where the
affairs had been held in the winter,
she had handed over to a local cabinet
maker who had pronounced the case
genuine rosewood and mahogany, and
had remade it into the handsomest li
brary table Helen had ever seen.
The affair was given on Sunday af
ternoon, and the fact that it was cloudy
outside made the cherry wood Are and
the Inviting room all the more attrac
tive. There was nothing stereotyped
about the method of entertaining.
People lounged about, there was
plenty to eat, nothing stiff about the
guests, and altogether it was just the
kind of an affair that Bohemian people
manage to give so easily and with ap
parently no effort, and yet where each
and everyone present enjoys the time.
Frances was there In a new gray
chiffon gown over flame.
"Helen, how lovely you look," she
said, rushing over to her. "Carp is
here; did you know it? I came down
with him in his new car. Oh, no, of
course, he didn't drive It himself, his

] Helen looked at Frances' radiant
face inquiringly.
1 "Don't question me, Helen, I don't
know whether I'm doing right or not.
but I'm going to dxift until he is bet
ter, or well, then I'll try to forget him
again. Oh, don't look so worried, you
old darling. I'm not Just out of the
| schoolroom, you know, and I do know
how to take care of myself."
I "Did Anne get oft all right?"
j "Yes, and you ought to see my new
place. I'm moving in the first of the
i week. You'd better come over and
help me get things settled."
i "I'd love to, Frances. Here comes
Carp. I think I won't meet him now."
j said Helen, conscious that Avery At
wood, lean and a little pale, his tight
1 lips drawn In a firmer line than ever,
j was coming toward them.
J "Yes, you will meet him. By the
way. whom is Warren talking to. the
| woman in black over by the piano?"
; Helen turned hastily and missed
the greeting between Carp and Frances.
Then she turned back to meet the quiz
zical eyes of the man who had made
| her Frances love him.
! "Well. Mrs. Curtis." he said easily,
"I suppose you have almost forgot
ten all about me?"
j "Oh. no," said Helen, coolly. "I read
the Scroll you know, and I occasionally
see an article by you."
Warren la Entertained
Helen was examining the woman
with Warren out of the corner of her
eyes. he was curious to know Just
I who might be entertaining Warren to
! the extent of monopolizing him for
more than five minutes. She was ap
parently the type that Warren did not
approve of. tall and slight and with a
daring black hat and an Impudent, vivid
! face. She held a cigaret carelessly
between her fingers, but that fact no
: longer bothered Helen, for half the
j women there were smoking.
Babbie came up to them to inquire
if they were enjoying It.
"Have you tried the new punch that
Tom has concocted? Come with me
and let me give you some. It's after
an old-fashioned recipe. Helen, I see
that Warren is quite amused by Lois
I Wilcox. Isn't she stunning? She doefc
, the fashions on the Beck and Call."
j "Oh, she does," Frances remarked
| interestedly. "I have seen some of
i her work in the Mercury, too. She
; writes beautiful verse, quite the best I
have seen of late. It's so refreshing to
read really good metrical verse in this
age of freak attempts at what is called
! vers libre."
Helen followed the others in silence.
So that was Lola Wilcox, the women
who did the fashions for Beck and Call
and wrote poetry. No wonder Warren
was interested. And once snore Helen
felt her inability to do anything that
Warren could admire her for, some
thing entirely aside from her relation
ships with him. If only she had a talent
iof some kind, that she could turn to
good use, how happy she would be.

House. Four days later the Cameron
Guards were fully organized with over
one hundred stalwart men enrolled.
Never did men receive a more en
thusiastic ovation than did these Har
risburg warriors during the week that
followed. I cannot here dwell upon
the honors and gifts of which they
were the recipients. December 25,
1546, they attended Christmas serv
ices in a body in Zion Lutheran Church
in Fourth street, while they listened
to an eloquent sermon from the pas
tor of that church appropriately based
on the text: "Be Strong and Quit
Yourselves Like Men." The next day,
December 26, the Cameron Guards
left Harrisburg to see it no more for
many weary months. And saddest of
nil, there were a goodly number who
never saw it again, but died, afar from
friends, in a hostile foreign land, some
by the bulleta of the enemy, some by
disease.
The Cameron Guards were ferried
across the Susquehanna for the build
ing of the C. V. R. R. bridge, destroy
ed by Are in 1844, had not been quite
completed, the first train not passing
over it until January 30, 1847. After
going by rail to Chambersburg, the
members of the company were trans
ported in wagons over the various
mountain ranges, the snow at that
time being fifteen inches deep on the
Alleghenies.
Tin- Cameron Guards Victims of Gov
ernmental Inefficiency
The Cameron Guards reached Pitts
burgh January 2, 1847, eight days after
leaving Harrisburg. and the fact was
immediately telegraphed to their
friends here. Incidentally, it is inter
esting to note that it was but five
days before this time, December 29,
1846, that the first telegraphic mes
sage passed between Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia.
The Harrisburg company was in
spected on the same day it reached
Pittsburgh and the next day. January
3. 1847, it was mustered into the
United States service. Then came
promptly the organization of the ten
companies there assembled into a
regimental body. The Lieutenant-

AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED
TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT
Alfred' By ALFRED W. McCANN
CHAPTER 80 I
Physicians Seek in Vain, in Their 1
Treatment of the llniirmities of Hu
manity, for Mineral Substances That
Cun Renovate the Broken Human
Body—S< ientUts Cannot Create Life.
Sustain Life, Nor Restore IJfc by
Artificial Means There Arc No
Mineral Salts of Synthetic Origin as
I'ar as Human Health Is Concerned —
Bakers Cannot Put Back Into Bread
I'i'om the Hands of Chemists the
Tilings Which Are Understood Only
by God.
In the presence of the statement'
that people are digging their graves
vrilh their teeth, the officials of gi
gantic baking corporations admit that
the staff of life is broken and inform
| us, as we have seen, that they have
mended it.
Before they began to tinker with j
! their task they manifested little sym- I
pathy with the proposition that the I
st aft of life was broken. Now that |
they have patented a "great discov- j
ery" a "boon for the benefit of hu-|
manity" wherewith to make bread
"leally nourishing" by "restoring the
salts which it had lost' their attitude ;
is changed.
Vet, surely, if what they now con- I
fess is true, modern white bread, j
which they admit is lacking in nour
ishment unless It contains their pa
tented yeast powders, was always
lacking in nourishment.
No patented process, invoking the
pharmacy while despising the farm,
however Intricate or scientific In
| formula, can resurrect dead bread by
| squirting Into the unbaked dough a
I solution of Inorganic salts.
i The plaster of parts innovation is
quite as weird, as a contribution to
j science, as the discovery that buck
j eyes cure rheumatism and leeches are
j a panacea for all sorts of ills.
Yet, the new bread, which, accord-
I inir to the patentors is the only bread
! that can use th e plaster of parts
resurrector, becomes a form of tomb
stone therapy standing by in smug su
periority, while the miller takes all
the good out of God's wheat, which
everybody, rich and poor alike can
have without patent, prescription or
privilege.
When the job of destruction is done |
this tombstone therapy takes out a>
patent on what it calls a scheme for
putting that good back in again so|
that nobody, henceforth forever, can j
cat any nourishing bread, free from
fusel oil and other pernicious acids.
| unless they eat the particular kind 1
of bread which is covered by this
' life-saving patent.
This patent, ponderous as it ap- ■
pears, makes no claim of restoring to i
any bread the salts and colloids ol|
iion, calcium, silicon, manganese,
magnesium, phosphorus, potassium I
sulphur, lodine, fluorine, chlorine, j
etc., found In the whole wheat berry.!
It knows that it can do nothing of '
the kind. Nature refuses to divulge
her secrets to the commercial scien
tists who prate knowingly of calories,
and who are at the same time as
helpless in the presence of chlorophyl
and hemoglobin as they are impotent
in the presence of death itself.
They can't create life by artificial
means. They can't sustain life by ar-1
tificial means. They can't restore life;
by artificial means. There ae no salts i
cr colloids of synthetic origin as far |
as human health is concerned.
Physicians have sought in vain in |
their treatment of the Infirmities of
character that can renovate the
broken human body. Failing to find ■
them they have explored other fields
and we have, as a result, antitoxins, |
serums, and germicides.
Commercial scientists know that j
they cannot put back Into bread from I
the hands of chemists those things j
which are understood only by God.
Colostrum Is the first food of the j
human being, as it is the first food !
of all mammals. Its exact role is not:
yet fully understood by scientists.
From the nature of Its composition, its j
corpuscles. Its salts and colloids. Its {
fats, its sugars, its proteins, and Its
anti-bodies, it is inferred that it fur- {
nishes to the new-born child, during
its adjustment to its new surround-I
ings and the full expansion of its 1
lungs and the awakening of its di-!
gestive processes. an adequate
nourishment of a character similar to
that which it received from the pla
centa as a foetus.
Commercial scientists might as well
try to produce synthetic colostrum,
synthetic blood, a synthetic spinal
cord, a synthetic nervous system,
a synethic brain, and a synthetic
soul as synethetic bread. The most
colossal impertience now visible in
this world of confusion is the effort
of man to duplicate in Ignorance and
Volunteers of the Mexican War was
John W. Geary, afterwards a cele
brated general of the Civil War. and
for two terms Governor of Pennsyl
vania, whose remains repose in Har
risburg's ornate city of the dead.
The Second Pennsylvania Regiment
vaf soon sent down the Ohio and the
Mississippi in boats, making the voy
age to New Orleans in Ave days. Here
they were sent info one or the foulest
and most pestilential camps in human
history. X do not know to what idiot
in authority belongs the credit of
picking a Louisiana swamp for a gen
eral camp, but the whole history of
this military camp of 1846-47 at New
Orleans was one of culpable military
inefficiency and reckless disregard of
sanitary regulations. It was a fetid
charnel house. Here members of the
Htrrisburg company contracted the
germs of smallpox, the outbreak of
which was the means of inflicting
weeks of suffering on the whole com
pany—those who had the disease and
those who were free from it.
In the latter part of January, 1847,
the Cameron Guards left New Orleans
on a sailing vessel bound for the Gulf
of Mexico, their destination being
Lobos Island. The voyage occupied
forty-one days that is, they were
tossed about for that time on the Gulf
by violent northeastern storm suc
ceeding storm, before which they
were driven In utter helplessness. It
was long supposed that tne ship and
all on hoard were lost. During this
trying time, smallpox appeared on
beard. The ship was destitute of offl
c'al medical attention, but fortunately
Dr. James Grimshaw, of Philadelphia,
a sergeant in the Cameron Guards,
was an experienced physician and did
all in his power for tne suffering
men.
The Services of the Cameron Guards
in Mexico
When the Harrlsburg company
reached Lobos Island its men were not.
allowed to land. The ship was obliged
to hoist the yellow flag and ride at
anchor some distance from the island.
During this quarantine period the
members of the Cameron Guards were
reduced to dire extremities. Captain
Williams in his published "Remini
scences of the Mexican Campaign,"
says: "Had it not been ror the kind
ness of Captain Samuel D. Kerns, the
sutler and Captain George D. Lauman,
the command would have suffered
greatly, but they, at the rtsk of arrest
and punishment, supplied gratuitous
ly the wants of the troops."
It certainly is a burning commen
tary on official mismanagement and
incompetency that soldiers tn the serv
ice of the United States could onlv
be* furnished with food and other
necessities through some one Incur
ring the risk of punishment for sup
plying their needs.
But after all their troubles the long
presumption, by a process of extrava
gant theorizing, the handiwork of the
Creator.
As we have already seen, an army
of Ihvestlgators has proved that arti
ficial mineralization with respect to
food is impossible.
The extensive research conducted
by M. S. Maslow at the Institute for
xperimental Medicine at Petrograd,
with regard to the biologic import
ance of phosphorus for the growing
organism and its action on the in
tracellular ferments would alone be
sufficient to confound the plaster of
parls scientists if they had ever heard
of it.
Apparently realy scientific experi
ments proving that synthetic phos
| phates cannot be substituted for the
highly complex organic phosphorus
compounds of natural food and that
I synethetic phosphates should not be
| given for therapeutic purposes have
| no meaning for the men who by in
troducing calcium sulphate into bread
would have the world believe that
they at once transform the inade
quacy of that bread into the whole
| somest of human foods.
The scientist responsible for the
p'aster-of-paris bread ingredient has
given to the press this Interview:
"In the milling of flour more and
more of the outside of the grain has
been taken off in order to get abso
lutely white flour, thus accounting
for the contention that flour is not as
nutritious as formerly.
"By the addition of lime and other
beneficial salts the qualities removed
in the effort to get white flour have
been restored to the wheat and other
advantages have been noted.
'My associates in the laboratory
work maintain that our findings have
resulted in the most important food
discovery in years.
"The so-called secret process was
kept so only because of a desire to
have world-wide patents on the inven
tion before courting publicity."
In his testimony at the attorney
general's inquiry, 199 Broadway,
Tuesday, March 2, 1915, the vice-presi
dent of the Ward Baking Company
decline., to reveal the process which
he claimed as his, being content with
saying that it had accomplished great
good for humanity.
There is other testimony, dating
from the year 1490 B. C., on this sub
ject of white flour destruction, which
the attorney general's Inquiry did not
record.
In the twenty-sixth verse of t:ie
twenty-sixth chapter of Leviticus, or
Vaicra, as the Hebrews call it, it is
written that as punishment for the
crimes of man their bread would un
dergo degeneration; that the staff of
life would be broken; that no matter
to what extent tt might be manipu
lated, even to the extent of having
ten women oversee its baking In the
sarao oven, and no matter how care
fully it might be weighed out, the
people would eat only to find it a
worthless and foodless food.
Food that does not fill is not food.
These are th e exact wrds of the
prophecy:
"After I shall have broken the staff
of your bread, so that ten women
shall bake your bread in one oven
and give it out by weight and you
shall eat and shall not be filled."
Uttered 3,405 years ago, this proph
ecy has been fulfilled. Its fulfillment
stole in upon humanity quietly,
slealthfully, unnoted. Twentieth cen
tury science has demonstrated its
truth. The mlscro»cope and the test
tube have confirmed the description
of Leviticus of the white bread of
lUI6.
Poor fools who, In the futile glory
of their Intellectual pride, refuse to
accept God at all, can't be expected to
accept bread undebauched.
The elaborate variety of made
diehes, lacking in nutriment but rich
in piquancy, which now take the place
of simple, life-sustaining 'food, curse
children before they are born, curse
their mothers during the period of
gestation, and after a disordered and
eventful delivery, make it impossible
for them to nurse their offspring
without disaster to themselves.
White bread is the very heart of
this course under which humanity now
groans, although through some
strange caprice of blindness the fath
ers and mothers of growing children
do not seem able to see for them
selves the grave results of their arti
ficial taste standards.
Calcium sulphate does not redeem
this course. Calcium sulphate Is a
commercial pretext lifted up at a try
ing time in the career of white bread
to account for its falure to turn back
to the whole, unrefined grain. It will
not do.
suffering Cameron Guards finally
reached Vera Cruz a few hours after
its surrender. From this time on the
history of the company is inseparably
interwoven with the glories and
triumphs of the heroic oand under
General Winfield Scott that conducted
fiom Vera Cruz to Mexico City the
thrilling campaign whicn has been
briefly outlined in former numbers of
this series.
To follow the individual deeds of
the members of the company, to tell
how they fought and how some of
them fell at Chapultepec and at the
very gates of the City of Mexico, can
not be done In this short sketch.
HiKli Standing of the Cameron Guards
Many noble bodies of men have left
our city for the defense of the starry
flag in the Civil War, in the Spanish-
American War, and during the crisis
now upon us. But the record seems
to show that the Cameron Guards was
quito the peer of any of tnese organ
izations.
The captain of the company, Ed
ward C. Williams, became a brigadier
general in the Civil War. The third
lieutenant, Isaac S. Waterbury, was a
captain in the 55th Pennsylvania
Regiment of the Civil War and died
in the service at Bermuda Hundreds,
Vu., May 8, 186 4. The first sergeant,
Henry A. Hambright, was promoted
by General Quitman, on tne field, to a
first lieutenancy in another company,
and, in the Civil War, rose to the
rank of brigadier-general in the regu
lar army, being subsequently placed
or the retired list on account of
wounds received in battle. Of the non
commissioned officers ana privates of
tlit Cameron Guards, five were, during
their term of service, promoted by
President Polk to lieutenancies in the
regular army, some subsequently ris
ing to higher positions; and one was
appointed by General Scott, on the
field of battle, as a lieutenant in an
other company of the Second Regi
ment. Dr. Grlmshaw, whose noble
actions have been already noted, was
ccmmissioned as a surgeon in the
regular army during tne campaign,
and rose to high rank. The saddest
case of these men promoted for men
tlonous service was that of Jacob Brua
a Harrlsburg printer, who died In a
hospital at Perote, one brief half-hour
after his commission as a lieutenant
in the regular army, signed by Presi
dent Polk, had been placed in his
hands.
I doubt if you can find a more
illustrious record of any company any
where in the United States that went
to Mexico in 1846 and 1847.
Citizens of Harrlsburg, in praising
the deeds of your heroes of later
periods, don't forget the wreath of
glory that encircles the fame and
valof of the Cameron Guards.

When Manager Davis booked this
week's bill at the Paxtang Park Thea
ter, he certainly put forth
I Out at every effort to have a first-
I'uxtang class holiday show. There is
not a dull moment in the
whole show from the time the curtain
goes up on Ferrv. the Frog Man. with
his contortion act, until it drops on the
final acrobatic thriller in the Guzman
nis Trio's offering. The Four Pallettes
fill the headline position with an act
that is unique as well as something
new in the vaudeville field. The Pal
lettes paint landscapes in vivid colors
and lire-like portraits in full view of
the audience, and do all this in an in
credibly short space of time. Elizabeth
Otto, "the girl at the piano," presents
a snappy singing act with a couple of
piano solos on the side, while Low
Tongr Foo, a native-born Chinese com
edian. made a hit with both Chinese
and American songs. Tong Foo has a
sense of humor that makes nis work
pleasing in every way.
The fireworks program for Friday

ferent from any yet shown at the park.
As a special feature, an enormous set
piece, made of material that will throw

whgn it is ignited, will be shown. While
this piece is burning pictures will be
taken of the crowd and the fireworks.
This will be the first time that an ex
periment of this kind has been at
tempted in Harrisburg.
