Those new "Bran Foods' ' —a new one is born every week —a recog nition of the need of food laxatives Instead of drug laxatives. The problem of presenting bran to the hu man stomach in combina tion with a nutritious, easily digested food was solved twenty years ago by the in vention of Shredded Wheat Biscuit, the food that supplies all the body-building mater ial in the whole wheat grain in a digestible form, com bined with bran which is Nature's laxative. A body building, strength-giving food. Serve with milk or cream or sliced peaches and cream or other fruits. Made at Niagara Falls, N. Y. THE AMERICAN THERMOPYLAE On June 25, 1876, General Custer's little band fought to the last man against the Sioux Indians. There was one man, Buckner by name, who es caped to tell the story. At that time, I, as a minister, had charge of work at or near Eldora, lowa. Some four or Ave of the Buckner family were members of my church. Soon after the Custer defeat a letter which I saw, came to the Buckner family from the man that escaped. Custer, with his little band had been following the In dians until he and his men were al most exhausted, when they were led into the trap laid by the Indians, and in a moment's time found themselves completely surrounded by superior numbers. Buckner took shelter be hind a small mound, determined to sell his life as dearly as possible. Just then, one of his comrades was shot from his horse. The horse ran to Buckner, who climbed into the saddle. The horse then ran through the In dian lines, the Indians striking at him with their sabres and shotting from all sides. Reaching a point beyond the linos, the rider fell completely ex hausted, but safe. Some of the Buck ner family, I think, are still living.— The Christian Herald. NOT AN EVANGELIST The orthodox minister's son, Tommy aged five, had a figlit with a larger boy, with the usual result. As his mother washed the blood and tears from his face, he sobbed: "Jimmy will g-go away into ev-ever lasting punishment for this, w-won't he. Ma?" "Oh, I hope he'll repent and be saved," said his mother. "Well, I just hope he won't/' said Tom.—The Christian Herald. AMUSEMENTS * "—\ To-day Double Attraction.

FRIDAY EVENING. HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 22, 1916. BELGIANS MUST HAVE MORE FOOD Steps Taken to Feed Them and Residents of Northern France Coming Year London (correspondence of the As sociated Press). —The Commission for Relief in Belgium announces that ar rangements have been completed with all the interested governments for the augmentation during the coming year of the relief to be provided to the 2,200,000 civil population in the occu pied provinces of Northern France. The steady exhaustion of food reserves and the diminishing vitality of the population has necessitated a consid erable Increase in the rations hitherto provided, especially for the industrial populations in the Lille and Valen ciennes districts. ' The allied governments have facili tated financial arrangements by which the monthly resources of the commis sion exclusively for the French popu lation are to be increased from $3,400,000 a month to $6,000,000 a month. This sum will be used to pro vide Increased imports from over seas and from Holland. To Requisition Crops The German general staff has under taken, in order to prevent speculation and to secure rigid distribution of the harvest In the north of France, to requisition the entire cereal and potato crop and to guarantee to the relief commission for the use of the civil population a minimum supply of 200 grams of flour and 400 grams of pota toes per capita per diem from the harvest. Miscellaneous vegetables, poultry, etc.. are free from requisition by the Germans and are reserved for the use of the civil population, but no system of control of the distribution of these products is possible. The arrangements with regard to native wheat and potatoes involve fur nishing from these crops about 16,000 tons of wheat and 26,000 tons of po tatoes per month and the commission expects to import about 30,000 tons per month of wheat, bacon, lard, meat, rice, beans, sugar, coffee, etc. The combined native and imported sup plies will provide a ration equal to about three-quarters of normal human consumption but yet sufficient to main tain the population in health. Negotiations Not Completed Negotiations are not yet completed as to the food supply and finance for the two other political divisions occu pied by the German army which the commission looks after; that is, first, the two Flanders, with a population of 1,700,000 people, which is under the German general staff, and with regard to which, like Northern France, the commission deals directly with the general staff, and second, the remain ing part of Belgium, which is under General von Bissing, comprising 5,760,000 people, and where the com mission carries on its negotiations with the German authorities through Min ister Whit lock. In these areas also, because of the depletion of the native food supply nnd the increase in the number of the destitute, the importations must be largely increased. With all the re sources which the Belgians and the Belgian government can bring to bear, a considerable part of the cost of the support of the destitute population must depend on public charity from abroad. This load has lately been in creased by the necessity on account of failing health conditions of giving a suppliementary ration to all school children, which makes an added drain on the resources of the commission of $1,000,000 a month. j; HOW TO GET RID OF ;1 J CATARRH f If you have catarrh, catarrhal 5 , deafness, or head noises go to ,■ J your druggist and get 1 oz. of 3 , Parmtnt (double strength), take J J this home add to it V* pint of hot ' / water and 4 oz. of granulated J 1 J sugar.

COLONIAL—"The Little Liar." REGENT—"Gloria's Romance." GRAND—"The No Good Guy." There Isn't the least doubt but that "Watch Your Step," which is to be pre sented at the Orpheum to "Watch night with the curtain at 8 Your p. m. sharp, is a big hit. Step" Built somewhat on the lines of "Ziegfeld Follies," without any palpable immitation there of, "Watch Your Step" just rags and turkey trots from one frivolity to an other. Always made enjoyable ay musical numbers, said to have melody and merit, and by a cast of principals that could push a far less deserving piece to success. C&tchy music, pretty girls, clever comedians, beautiful costumes and ap propriate, all go to make "Mother "Mother Goose" a first-class Goose" musical comedy offering. This attraction Is to hold the boards at the Orpheum, Tuesday, with bargain matinee. During the en gagement a scale of low prices will pre vail, which fact alone, it is claimed, should crowd our local playhouse to its utmost capacity. Theatergoers of Harrisburg will be Interested in the forthcoming produc tion of "Common Clay," "Common the sensational New York Clay" success, which comes to the Orpheum for an en gagement of one day, September 30. "Common Clay" is a drama of Ameri can life in four actß, by Cleves Kinkeaa. Its daring treatment of the two perti nent problems of sex and property created an immediate sensation In Boston, where it was originally pro duced, and gave it a phenomenal en gagement of a solid year at the Re public Theater, New York, last season. There is nothing that local theater-' goers like better than to listen to splendid singing. You can At tlie certainly find it at the Ma- MnjcKtic jestic the last half of the week, where Denman Thomp son's double quartet of male singers are appearing. Old as well as new songs are sung, and one of the solo numbers, entitled "Ireland Must Be Heaven For My Mother Came From There," is given much applause. Grouped around this attraction are: Hess and Hyde, two pretty girls, in a sinking and dancing act; Fisher anu Rockaway, blackface entertainers of comedy and song; Wheeler and Dolan, who offer a novelty dancing act, ana Nip and Tuck, in a bit of acrobatic nonsense. In "The Little Liar," the new Trl angle-Fine Arts feature, starring Mae Marsh,, booked for the "Tlie I.lttle Colcinlal Theater to-day l.lar" ut and to-morrow, there is the Colonial presented to the patrons of Triangle pictures, it said, one of tho most unique stories ever told on the screen. "The Little Liar" is the story of a misunderstood girl. "Maggie" is the daughter of poor and ignorant parents, but possessed ov that inevitable and greatest attribute to genius—imagination. But to her parents she is merely a liar. Neglecteu and 111-treated the little girl finally falls a victim of evil-doers, who maice her the unsuspecting scapegoat for their misdeeds, which later lands her in a prison cell. Through the efforts of a reporter and a friendly Judge, she Is released, and In the end the little liar becomes a great magazine wrltei.

"Saving the Family Name" is based on a theme of universal appeal— theatrical life and incidents bearing upon the character of actresses. On the same program will be Billle Btirke in the fourteenth chapter oi "Gloria's Romance," entitled "The Floating Trap." This chapter shows the regeneration of the little waif adopted by Gloria. Gloria also orders her father to see that the child's father Is given a position, and when she learns that the mother is 111, she goes to the home in the slums to visit her. It so happens that Trask is living in a room in the same building and that his daughtef has found him and persuaded him t.o go back to their ship. As he leaves with his daughter, he is seen by 'Gloria, who again sets out after him.
