WATER RUNS OUT
\ OFLAKEROYER
Breaks in Side of Big Dam
Near Pen Mar Ruins
Pleasure Place
Waynesboro, Pa., Jan. 9.—Due to
the bursting in several places of
the main dam at Lake Royer, near
Pen-Mar park resort, during the
past month, that body of water has
almost run out and down the moun
tainside, leaving an immense gap
in the earth. The lake formerly gave
pleasure to many persons In the way
of swimming and boating in the
summer, when it was in charge of
William Watson, of Baltimore, and
skating was enjoyed in the -winter.
The lake will be missed in the sum
mer months. During the early part
of the winter the water was too
deep to freeze and consequently no
ice crop has been harvested, as was
done in previous years. It is stated,
upon authority, that the damage to
the dam, which caused the water to
leak out. will never be repaired.
Whilst this is true as to the con
ditions on the lower lake, the upper
lake is intact and is covered with
a layer of ice from fourteen to six
teen inches thick, the heaviest that
has been on the lake in years.

Are You Fit To Do
Your Bit?
We can't all go to the trenches, but these
are times that call men and womep to "the
firing line" in all departments of industry. Are
you fit to do your bit?
Strength for the day's work calls for food
that supplies tissue-building material in a di
gestible form.
The whole wheat grain contains all the ele
ments' needed to furnish energy for the day's
work. But be sure .to eat the whole wheat..
Don't waste any of it.
Shredded Wheat
Biscuit
is the whole wheat grain made digestible by boiling in
steam; it is then shredded and then baked crisp and
brown in coal ovens. It is 100 per cent whole wheat,
nothing wasted, nothing thrown away. Two or three
of these crisp little loaves of baked whole wheat with
milk and a little fruit make a complete, nourishing,
satisfying meal at a cost of a few pennies.
To get the fall, natty flavor of the baked wheat
pour hot milk over the Biscuits and salt to suit
the taste. This makes a delicious, hot, nourishing
dish for a cold day.
