DESTINIES OF MAN ARE AT STAKE t)r. Smuckcr Declares U. S. Is Fighting For Rights of Whole World Before an audience which packed Stevens M. E. Church, the Rev. Dr. Clayton Albert Smucker last night preached a sermon on "The Nation's X'alh". At many points in the address there were outbreaks of applause. Dr. Smucker said in part: "Our times are momentous times. All the dayß of the past few weeks have been filled with thrilling events. That was a great day when President Wilson delivered j his address before Congress and Con- | gress took action. Someone has said j that was the most decisive event of the great war. It is very evident that j German autocracy and militarism must I go. Tho German folk must be free. What has come to Russia must come to Germany. "To-day as a nation we are called I upon to make a choice between Liberty ! and Despotism. Democracy and Autoc racy, Individual Worth and Iron Mili tarism. We have come to a supreme historical hour when the larger des tinies of mankind are at stake. It Js not a question of the future of this republic or England or France or Ger many but the entire world. The call 1 of the nation is for a loyal and heroic I defense of her honor and life.

Don't Experiment with Catarrh; It Often Leads to Dread Consumption i-* . j I You Will Never Be Cured by Local Treatment With Sprays and Douches. Catarrh is a condition of the blood and can not be cured by local appli cations of sprays and douches; this has been proven by the thousands who have vainly resorted'to this method of treatment. Catarrh should not be neglected or experimented with. The wrong treat ment is valuable time lost, during which the disease is getting a firmer hold upon its victim, and making it more difficult for even the proper treatment to accomplish results. Though Catarrh makes its tirst ap , pearance in the nostrils, throat and air passages, the disease becomes 432 MARKET STREET SPECIALS FOR TUESDAY, APRIL 17 LEAN \1 BOILING BEEF lb. i.

If he will have nothing to do 1 with it, throw the circular Into the I waste basket v If y<iu want to b° dou bly sure, try another bank under a I different management and in a differ ent locality. It' they also refuse to lend on the stocky you may be sure it amounts to very lftile."

C„ April 12. —Early fall frosts evtiry few years cause enormous losses of corn in the north ern third of the United States. Each September there is a feeling of fear that frosts may come ten days earlier than usual and prevent the corn from ripening. Every fall, millions of peo ple are hoping that the tirst fall freeze will be delayed ten days long er. This anxiety and this oft recur ring loss due to fall frosts, can bo largely prevented by earlier planting. Concerning the ability of corn to withstand low temperatures some work conducted during the past three years by the office of corn investiga tions of the IT.l T . S. Department of Agriculture in Southern. Central and Northern States, has brought out points of practical value. Points which can now be pro*)tably> applied i^jlenwoodr This coal and gas range with two ovens |j Although less than four feet long it can do every kind of cooking for any ordinary family by gas in warm weather or by coal or wood when the kitchen needs heating.

Fager ® Sons, Harrisburg ||| in the northern third ot the United ! States are: Thoroughly Iry Seed 1. Sped corn that matures properly and is thoroughly dried as soon as mature and kept dry will give a strong germination. 2. Seed corn of strong germination can be planted several weeks earlier than ordinary seed. Ordinary seed I will rot where proper seed will not. Valuable points In connection with | seed of strong germination are its j ability to stand planting earlier, to | utilize more fully the growing sea son. to mature earlier and to produce a larger ami a better matured crop. 3. Very early planted corn makes slower growth above ground than late planted corn, is not so tender and consequently not so badly injured by spring frosts. 4. In general, earllness of matur ity means slhallness in size and yield. j It is a mistake to choose the earliest j maturing varieties where a larger | and more productive variety can be j ripened by earlier planting. With seed corn of strong germina tion (which is not as scarce as usual I this spring), it is not advisable to | wait until danger from frost Is past before planting. The ten days more lof growing weather so anxiously needed in the fall can be secured by planting several weeks earlier than 1 usual. With seed of strong germlna j tion, no fear need be felt because 'APRTL 16, 1917. of cold soli or frosts. A good root growth will take place and the growth aboAe ground will be so slow and liarta- that it will withstand cold weather and frosts better than later pjanted corn. Plant Thick Thick plantings should be made, so that although the weakest plants are killed by frosts and Insects de stroy some, a sufficient number of the most vigorous plants will remain to maintain a full stand. After plant ing. the soil surface should be kept dry and warm by frequent cultiva tions. In the District of Columbia, good stands have been obtained from plantings made In Kebruary where the ground froze several times after planting. In North Dakota, good stands have been obtained from plantings made in April and in Northern Ohio, one hundred bushels of mature shelled corn per acre have been produced by plants whose leaves were frozen off after the plants had attained n height of twelve to eight een inches. _ It is the" fall and not the spring frosts that should be feared. Early planted corn matures earlier and usually yields better than later planted corn. Earlier planting will result in larger and better crops in the northern third of the United States and cause sufficiently early ripening to reduce the enormous losses which frequently occur through failure of tlio corn crop to mature before growth is stopped by frost.

"During the digestion of meats, flsh and eggs, acids are formed. In order to prevent, the accumulation of too much of this acid in the system It Is necessary to eat also fresh vegetables and fruits, which have properties that neutralize the acids formed by the meat. This is one reason why meat and potatoes are usually served together. It Is safer to have too little meat than to eat too little fruit and too few vegetables." 11
