L. Kuhn, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. John L. D. Kuhn, 2112 North Third street, has written the following letter to the Telegraph: "Christmas day in the Navy is en tirely different from what most peo ple picture it. Here at Newport there are many men from every rank ill life, such as students, lawyers, physicians, ministers and just fel lows as I. There are many Masons here. Newport has many different branches as apprentice seamen, hos pital apprentice, yeoman, radio school, torpedo station, gunnery -chool, musician school and commis sary schools. I started about Xmas, so must tell you all about the Xmas dinner Mere is the menu as near as I can remember: ("ream of onion soup, olives. pickles, celery, roast turkey, oyster ;iiling, dressing, peas, corn, sweet po-l : a toes, fried ham, plum pudding, ice I <ream, mince pie, coffee, apples, as : orted cakes, tea, ornnger. nuts, cran-j berry sauce, cigars. "Then the. lied Gross presented I each fellow with a kit bag containing j things valuable and helpful to us."] In a postscript Kuhn says that his; unit expects to be shipped south j about January 7, and that every en listed man at Newport regrets tho! departure of Captain Johnston, who is now succeeded by Captain Camp- i hell.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Within the past week I have trav eled from the snores of the Yellow Sea, past the Great Wall of China, and the fertile fields of Manchuria, into Ihe mountains and the great | green valleys of Siberia, an imperial i realm. Within that time I have had: to face and discuss the Chinese Question, the Japanese Question and the Russian Question, with the rela tions of America to them all. What- ! ever else may bo said of such a I strenuous week, it certainly helps one ! to see things in the large. The in*l cidental and the detail become lost; in the general. One must deal v.ith large units; which seems particularly easy to do as I look out of the win- ] dows of this Siberian express, across j vast spaces of grazing land, with lakes and rivers, and the bluo hills! beyond, and the Mongol nomads | standing to gaze as the train glides i by. Somewhat similar in effect to the journey 1 am at the moment taking j in this quarterly review of the Sun- I day School lesson. It sweeps a wide j horizon, and deals with a succession j of great events and movements. An i honest, study of this lesson, with j what it involves, would give one thej essential groundwork of a liberali education, which is the ability to per- j celve things in tlieir larger relation-1 ships, with a true historical perspec- ! tive. Well do I remember an ad-| dress by the late Bishop Fowler, o the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he set forth the march and j compass of the Russian nation, and i its possibilities. More definitely than any other one single experience in a young reporter's life, that great speech did for me what I hope this' week's International Sunday School j Lesson will do for other young people —set them to cultivating an inter national consciousness. l'"or the only way to be a really up to date | and efficient person is to keep in mind what has been and what may; yet be, in the whole large scheme of j things. A village mind is inadequate! simply because it does not take all I the factors into consideration. Getting God's Viewpoint Two little keys that help unlock the mysteries of providence are the quotations concerning God. 'My ways are not your ways," and "With Him a thousand years are as a day." That is to say, God always sees things in the large. He does not look through any man's spectacles. All His ways with men comprehend large units of time. His plans do not all work out in a year or a cen tury or a millenium—but they all eventually work out. Human views are inadequate, because they take ac count of only a small portion of the great pattern of God's weaving. We think in small terms about God's large plans. The near misfortune means more to us than the ultimate outcome. Private soldiers are otten interested only in battles, whereas commanders in chief are concerned with the entire campaign. To the Jews driven into exile, all things had collapsed. Their skies had f-iilen. In their place of shore vision, it was impossible to see the great and bene ficent purposes of Jehovah in that stern experience. Yet the exile wasl needed by the Jews aod by th ■world.

Kalpheno Tooth Powder 150 I R 3T,sr I KENNEDY'S 321 Market St I I Into these dark days about which the Sunday schools have been study ing came the prophets, who tried to lieip people to see tilings in the large, and to point out the relation between cause and effect. This prophet gift of patriotism, "Wnleh sees beyond the year, Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed i>y human tears." alone sustains a people in a dark time. If there were no prospect cf a long tomorrow, to justify today, we should be of all men most miserable. A heaven is indispensible to any happy conception of earth. Kvcry mother who has given her son a sac rifice to the great war would indeed sorrow as one who has no hope did she not believe that God is working out in our time some great purpose, which is worthy of the best. This sense of forming part of an infinite and eternal plan is one of the lofti est conceptions possible to mortal. It links him with tho beautiful here after wherein all things are r.vule perfect. Holding Steady Today The experience of these old Jews do not particularly interest us ex cept. as tliey have a bearing upon our own time. That the land of Jeho vah was in the history of Israel con cerns us less than that Ills hand is guiding the course of events ill our world of the here and now. And this is the very truth for today. Near views may be disconcerting, and the tangle of things may seem inextric able, but the larger view—the look from God's side of the dark cloud— reveals the outworkings of aesigns so vast that there must be a commo tion in heaven. Our day seems to be the fruition time of history. The goals icr which the prophets and patriots and seers agonized are now in sight. This is Ihe day of univ... emanci pation. (Ud shackles are beins broken and old enslavements ended. Entire nations are coming into the light of freedom and self-govern ment. Exiles are returning home. Social injustices of immemorial an tiquity are being righted. Despite the great war, hatred between men and men, class and class, is dimin ishing. With a new sense of racial soli darity and interdependence, we are setting about the task of reclaim ins all the waste places of earth, so that the hungry everywhere may be fed. Burdens that have been on the backs of the depressed classes since the be ginning of organized society arc be ing lifted. Wealth, as well as oppor tunity is finding a juster distribu tion. Best of all, a new sense of hu man rights is being learned in the severe school of war. This is a time of jubilee. God is working great purposes out. That is a message for every pulpit in these perplexed days. Religion's part is to see that the Chrisaian mo tive 1" kept close to every one of these great changes in life. The noblest events of history are *aking place: their distinctively religious character should not be obscured, or the Author of them all deprived of the honor that is His due. It would be sad should any of us miss the high level and meaning of what CJod is doing before our eyes. If we but KARRISBURG TELEGRAPH interpret aright the times, there will be 110 doubt about our making \/ar morally safe for the soldiers. And when we go forth to the conquests of peace, they will be wrought in a Christian spirit. What society to now undertaking to do in the world can not be successfully accomplished without taking God into the reckon ing. railing In With the Forces Stale and jejune though the ad vice may seem to some oversophis ticated youth, who is supremely proud of his acquaintanceship with head waiters and chorus girls, tho truth remains that the one sure route to a success that counts, is to find out God's purpose for one's life and to fall in with them. There aro great forces —which we reverently call the providences of God—abroad in our day: the wise person will fall in with these. To every man, woman and child it is possible to bear a share in the great goings of God in our day. Not in vain has this war taught us new lessons in co-opera tion. Any life, however obscure, may bear its proportionate part in the working out of the ideals which a divine hand has clearly sketched upon the canvas of today. Steven-1 son puts the idea into a beautiful i figure: "So from the hearth the children flee, By that Almighty Hand Austerely led; son one by sea Goes lorth, and one by land: Nor aught of all men's sons es cape from that command. "And as the fervent smith of yore Beat out the glowing blp.de. Nor wielded in the front of war The weapons that he made. But in the tower at homs still plied his ringing trade; "So like a sword the son shall roam j And as the smith remained at home | In peaceful terret pent, So sits the while at homo the; mother well content." To have a part however slight, in j working out the divine purpose in i one's day is success. This is the root conviction that ennobles life, and ex tracts its sting and dissipates its jadedness. All lesser considerations of safety and recognition and re ward count for little alongside of this one major, achievement, the helping to bring to pass the great and beautiful will of God r.mong men. Some of the prophets of old were willing and witting instruments in the achievement of this purpose; but the Jewish people as a whole underwent the tragic experience of seeing Jehovah's will done in spite of them, and not because of chem. I .teaming the Great Ijesson After all, and after all, did the Jews learn their lesson during the five hundred and eighty years of his tory which this review period covers? We have seen them rise as a king dom, split in twain and then pursue an undulating course, until finally they were dispersed by the Captivity, which was the flail of Jehovah. Were they cured of their idolatry? It is commonly said that they were. Yet the archaeologists are digging up incantation bowls which show that for centuries after the Captiv ity the Jews r ere pastmasters of the art of witchcraft. Today the temporal condition cf the Jew is better than it has ever been since the fall of Jerusalem. Wealth, prestige, position, and polit ical consideration all belong to the Jew. The most careful observers within the ruce. perhaps point out. that the present irreligion of the Jewish people is an ominous sign of a deplorable condition that makes wealth, learning and standing of no avail. The youth of Judaism is be ing lost to the faith of its fathers. The need for old prophets, such as Former Guardsman Now 1 With Aviation Corps I RALPH W.

FISH HAD FALSE TEETH Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 28.—A flsh wearing false teeth was hooked a | few days ago in the Gulf of Mexico, i near Indian Rocks, Fla., by A. L Anderson, of Independence. Mr. An derson was invited to go out in a boat with H. H. Ingersoll, a well known resident of Indian Rocks. During the day they brought up a specimen of the "swell toad," or bur fish variety. As the hook was pulled out it brought with it a front plate with four false teeth attached to a gold bridge. Later it was learned by the astonished fishermen that a few days before a' visitor from Olds mar, a nearby resort, had dropped his teeth while bathing. have spoken words that have echoed in all the Sunday schools of earth during the past twelve months, is still present with the Chosen People The Jews were in school to God. We have seen in these studies tho full course of the curriculum. The one great admonition of the teacher was to fixedness of heart. With in credible patientce and infinite re sourcefulness, God sought to teach His people the lesson of loyalty to Him. They preferred to follow fash ion. Can this new Western vorld learn the same lesson? Sends Home Holly Sprig From Trenches in France This is a letter received by Mrs. George Werner from her son 7 Gor don Werner, a graduate of Technical High School and now "somewhere in France:" "Dear Mother—Am sending you by pa.eel post a sprig of holly from the beautiful pine forest which sur rounds this camp. There is hardly i any tree or foliage that is not ever green in this northernly location. There is no fighting going on now. but there are lots of "trenches and fortifications. The most warlike thing I have seen so far was the bombardment of a deserted village. I have seen considerable traveling in France and have spent two weeks in a city of the south where there were a hundred Americans. You can imagine what a sensation we made when on the street. Seventy two of these formed the Yale unit, all graduates of Yale University. When eleven of us were detailed to this place they gave us a rousing sendoff. Company (' of Governor's Island was split up in all directions upon leaving the ship. We had an eventful trip across, but of this I shall not write at this time. 1 have an interesting bunch of scenes which I collected at the different towns and cities I visited.

Gabriel Boudousquie, M.

Nowadays, so many dif- , ferent tonics and foods are sold that , one might have to take several kinds in order to correct the three evils un doubtedly existing in a wide variety of cases. Mv attention was tirst called to the remarkable efficacy of blood iron-salts while on a visit to special ists in New York, regarding my own health.

I had taken blood iron-salts only a short while, when j lo and behold! a remarkable change 1 in my whole organism began to take place: my bowels began to act daily i without the usual purgative; my appe tite increased, and 1 was hungry be | tween meals; my cheeks began to till | out. and that careworn, haggard ap i pearance and hollows under my eyes j began to disappear as if by magic. I T gained 12 pounds of good, solid flesh, and again feel like a boy bubbling lover with vital energy and endurance. I In fact. 1 feel as though it were my second time on earth.

Nor could I walk very far without feeling tired, nor sleep all night without terrible nervous dreams or awakening. But after tak i ing blood-iron-salts a while, I could run up any flight of stairs or walk live miles without tiring hold my arm j out straight several minutes, and sleep lik- a major.

Any person may obtain Blood-Iron-Salts in tablet form in this city from Forney, Kenne dy, Gorgas and other good druggists, without a doctor's prescription. The usual dose Is two 5-grain tablets with a swallow of water after meals, three times daily, but where only strength, nerve energy, and endurance are de sired, and not added flesh and weight, only one tablet should be taken after meals. It is guaranteed not to injure the teeth or stomach, is pleasant to take, and must not be confounded with other preparations containing' salts, iron or phosphate. The ingre dients in Blood-Iron-Salts are so com pounded as to aid Nature in regulat ing a more normal-like action of the stomach, liver, and bowels, and can not cause constipation. On the con trary, it aids the digestive functions and aims to bring about regular dally defecation and the elimination of con gested conditions and poisonous tox ins. 7
