20 Killing the CalTes —All sorts of excuses are offered for the high price of beef, the most plausible be ing the alleged demand for veal —"the killing of calves which should be allowed to grow into regular beef." You cannot have beef if you eat it as "veal", but you can have Shredded Wheat Biscuit which contains more real nutriment than beef and costs much less. Shredded wheat biscuit is the whole wheat steam-cooked, shred ded and baked. Make it your "meat" for ten days and see how much better you feel.

CHURCH WILL NOT BUY PLOT Refuse to Pay $44,500 For Site Owned by School Board Announcement was made this after noon that tho official board of the Evangelical Publishing House of the United Evangelical Church, refused to ratify the recommendation of the executive committee to purchase the site bounded by Third, Harris, Boyd and Susquehanna streets, from the city school board for $44,500. The reason given for tho action was that the price was more than the company had planned to pav for a site. An option had already been ob tained on the plot, it was said, and this afternoon the school board was to have approved the sale upon recom mendation of its finance committee. Notification of the withdrawal of the publishing house offer was not re ceived officially at 2 o'clock this aft ernoon. Tho plot Is half of tho property i owned by the city school board. The i entire site was bought at a cost of $82,500 in 1912, as a possible site for a High'school, but tho plan was abandoned. Officials of the Evangel ical Publishing houso, It was said. In- | tended to arrange for the erection of j a big publishing plant on the site. Two years may elapse, it is said, before any further action is taken to obtain a site for a new plant, It was announced. According to officials the present location is too small because of the increased publishing done by the Evangelical company. At the city school hoard meeting this afternoon the finance committee recommended the payment of bills totaling $7,008.43; and that the con tract for printing the annual school board report be awarded to the Tele graph Printing Company. The buildings and grounds commit tee asked that the contract for plant 'ng and surfacing the grounds of the W. S. Steele building be awarded tho Berryhlll Nursery Company, at Its bid of $1,498. The appointment of George Davis, assistant Janitor at the Cameron Building, and William Shepler assist ant Janitor at the Maclay building, was also advised.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children n Use For Over 30 Years j ilvays bears 1 4,nu£oo t ■ ■■ ; n fiARRISBURG dSpHS TELEGRAPH! RIDIN' HOME AFTER THE SANDS OF Against the background of grim Mount Franklin, a little group of sun-browned, dusty olive-drab officers the other day trotted across the hot sands along the Texas border, right into the focal range of the camera man. And In the accompanying etching the Telegraph presents the finished result of that snapshot. At first glance, you may think it is a relief column on the way to help Pershing; then, too. It has somewhat the appearance of the right of the cavalry column of the Tenth regiment whose final story was dramatically told some months since at Carrlzal. But the etching doesn't deal with any of these things; It Is a view of Colonel Maurice E. Finney, commander of the Eighth Pennsylvania regiment of the United Stated National Guard returning from a long, long hike, "some where along the border." Hiding with the commander of the Eighth aro tho other officers of his staff, among whom are Lieutenant Colonel J. B. Kemper, Major J. M. Peter:!, the regimental surgeon, Captain W. H. Baker, regimental adjutant; Chaplain. Captuin Harry Nelson Bassler. "On the way home after a long hike," is the cryptic way Colonel Finney describes the return from that ar duous practice march in a letter to a friend In Harrisburg, Plot to Kill Two Heads of N. Y.

A kidnap | ing mystery which agitated Chicago six weeks ago has reached a climax here. Confession that she had stolen two year-old Sylvia Licursi at the behest of the child's father, whom she loved, i Mrs. Belle Podolski appealed for aid j in repairing the wrong she had done i and extricating herself from its dis- I tressing consequences. Alone in New York, abandoned by I the man for whose sake she had com j mitted, under sensational circum stances, an act which placed her in i peril >f the law, burdened with an -1 other woman's child, and face to face jwith destitution, she craved an op . portunity of returning little Sylvia to ! her mother. I Mrs. Podolski admitted that she | was "the woman in black" who had puzzled the Chicago police by the skill | and daring with which she had | spirited the child from its home after | winning the confidence of little | Sylvia's vigilant grandmother. To steal Frank Licursi's child for I him she traveled from Detroit to Chi ! oago, executed her mission with blind fidelity and returned to Detroit with ! her living prize. I Her reward? When the police ! seemed to be getting hot on the trail Licursi returned his baby to her and bade her wring it to New York, prom ■ ising to join her here later and make 1 her his wife. She came, only to lind I herself deserted.

VOTE AGAINST CHURCH UNION [Continued From First Page] cipal reason given was that both Churches would have to sacrifice some of the principles Involved in their doctrines to bring about a closer rela tionship. The letter from the Baptist Confer ence was read late yesterday after noon Just before the Eldership ad journed. A request was made that a committee be appointed to arrange for a closer union between the two organizations, but many of the Church of God delegates expressed opinions that while the entire Baptist con ference in the East favored the plan, if it were accepted by the local Eldership, the step would be an in itiative one on the part of one unit of the General Eldership of the Church of God. A closed session of the Eldership was held this morning, and the work of each pastor during the last year was carefully considered. Many of the ministers were commended for their good work while a few were censured. The closed session was resumed again this afternoon and continued until a late hour. To-morrow com mittee reports will be considered by the Eldership. Dr. W. H. Guyer, president of Findlay College, Ohio, will make the principal address at the educational services this evening. To morrow night missionary speakers will be listed for addresses. To Preach in Local Churches The committee of arrangements of which the Rev. P. I. M.

British Armored Motorcars Are a Failure Overseas News Agency Asserts Berlin, Oct. 6. By Wireless The British armored motorcars which were used for the first time in the gen eral advance on the Somme front last month, are a failure, the Overseas News Agency says. f "One of the tanks, built In Norfolk, England, became hopelessly entangled in barbed wire," says the news agency. "Another tank was disabled by one shell while advancing at a point north of Flers. The ammunition which it contatned exploded and It burned up. Two other tanks were utilized in an atttack at 7 a. m. on September 15 on the Guillemont-Combles road. One of them was blown up with a hand grenade when it had approached to within thirty yards of the German trenches. At the last moments its oc cupants dispatched a carrier pigeon from their modern Noah's ark. Six machine guns were captured by tho Germans. The other tank crawled to the southern edge of Leuze wood and was burned up. "Only one of these land cruisers succeeded in crossing German trenches. This was annihilated by a shell on the road to Ligny-Thllloy. The British land fleet will soon be composed of nothing but wrecks." "Pop" Kelchner to Speak. Pro fessor C. S.
