I Hummelstown, Hershey, Highspfee, ! Middletown and Royalton. The problem of adequately sup , porting the educational work of the I'nited Brethren denomination, and f-pecifieally Lebanon Valley College, was the main line of conference. The gathering was informal, but was pro nounced by Bishop Bell as the most significant meeting held in recent years by his denomination. He stat ed that a challenge has been issued ■ to the Christian church for the de veloping of religious leaders by this great world war that is being met heroically and that demands the DON'T FUSS WITH MUSTARD PIASTERS! Musterole Works Without the Blister—Easier, Quicker There's no sense in mixing a mesa of mustard, flour and water when you can easily relieve pain, soreness or stiff ness with a little clean, white Musterole. Musterole is made of pure oil of mustard and other helpful ingredients, combined in the form of the present white ointment. It takes the place of mustard plasters, and will not blister. Musterole usually gives prompt relief from sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy.rheuma tism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of the chest (it often prevents pneumonia). 30c and 60c jars; hospital size $2.50.

Third St. Bell Phone 1518 — I | Why Nuxated Iron Helps I | By Enriching The Blood and Creating Thousands of New Red Blood Cells, It Often Quickly Trans forms The Flabby Flesh, Tbneless Tissues and Pallid Cheeks of Weak Anaemic Men and Women Into a Glow of Health— -1 Sow Bring I'urd By Over Three Million People Animnllv. There are thousands of men and women who need a strength and blood builder, but do not know what to take. There is nothing better than organic iron—Nuxated Iron — for enriching tho blood and helping to increase the strength and endurance of men and women who burn up too rapidly their nervous en ergy in the strenuous strain of the great business compe tition of the day. People need more iron in their blood than was the case twenty or thirty years ago. This because of the demin eralized diet which now is served daily in thousands of homes, and also because of the demand for greater re sistance necessary to offset the greater number of health lazards, to be met at every turn. Therefore you should supp!y the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt. Organic iron Is one of the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or run down, in stead of dosing themselves with habit-forming drugs, stimulants, and alcoholic bev erages, there are probably thousands who might readily build up their red blood cor puscles, increase their phvsl cal energy and get themselves into a condition to ward off the millions of disease germs that are almost continually around us. Tt is surprising how many people suffer from Iron defficiency and do not know It. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test' See how long you can work or how far vou can wnlk with out becoming tired. Next, take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks.

Ho intimated to the pastors and laymen present that too often the church has been working without a big and comprehensive program, and that every ounce of energy and nerve force must now count in meet ing the new conditions caused by this world catastrophe. Dr. S. S. Hough, the missionary secretary for the U. B. denomination, who returned especially to be at the Harrisburg conference, spoke of a near crisis in the foreign missionary enterprise, due to the war, high rate of exchange and cost of materials; but gladly for a time gave his efforts and thought to the accomplishment of what he termed "the biggest job that his denomination had yet un dertaken," namely, the raising of a f2,000,000 fund to properly endow its tMluoation.il institutions. He stated that what the East would do would have an effect that would be felt wherever this church carries on its work. Congressman Aaron S. Kreider said he had been drafted into the service of director of the endowment campaign east of the Allegheny mountains, out, although busy as he is, he would rather help strengthen the educational work than any other, for, he said, the world will need trained leadership during the war and immediately after as never in the history of the world, and espe cially Christian leadership. He out lined in a practical manner the plans and program for the campaign, and had no hesitancy in predicting entire success for the project. Machine Guns For Reserve Militia Machine guns for the four de tachments to handle such weapons in the Reserve Militia are on the way to tfte State Capital from the factories and will be in the hands of the detachments within a short time, according to statements at the Capitol to-day. The first machine gun detachment to be mustered in was at West Chester last night. The others will be mustered in late in the month at Lancaster, Erie and Bellefonte, the latter being attached to the cavalry squadron. Word was received here to-day of the .muster ing of the companies of the Third Infantry at Pittsburgh and Warren and Colonel L. Benton Long, of the Governor's staff, has been detailed to muster in the Oil City Company. 730 IjTVKS 1/OST By Associated I'ress Shanghai, March 5. —At least 730 lives were lost in the disaster at the Hong Kong Jockey Club's track at Happy Valley last week, when a stand occupied by Chinese collapsed and then caught fire.

And this after they have in some cases been going on for months without getting bene fit from anything. Many an athlete and prizellghter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance which comes from having plenty of iron in the blood, while many another has gone down in in glorious defeat simply for lack of iron. Tf you want a true tonic and blood builder, you should get a physician's prescription for organic iron—Nuxated Iron— or if you don't want.to go to this trouble then purchase only Nuxated Iron in its ori ginal package and see that this particular name (Nuxated Iron) appears on the pack age. If you have taken other !ron preparations and failed •o get results, remember that iuch products are an entirely different thing from Nuxated Iron. NOTE: Nuxated Iron is not a secret remedy, but one which Is well known to druggists everywhere. Unlike the older Inorganic iron pro ducts, it Is easily assimilated, does not Injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach. Nuxated Iron is not recommended for use in cases of acute illness, but nnlv as a tonic, strength and blood builder. Tf in doubt as to whether or not you need a tonic, ask your doctor, as we do not wish to sell you Nux ated Iron If you do not re quire it. If you should use it and It does not help you. no tify us (name and address is on every bottle) and we will return your money. It Is sold by all druggists. Troll Keller, O. A. Gorgas, J .

How do we know? Why, the Chamber of Commerce, through Shirley B. Watts, garden plot superintendent, sent out its first instructions to-day for Harrisburg to get busy. You may think it a trifle early, with snow still in evi | dence, but that does not interfere with planting cabbage, lettuce, to matoes, peppers and egg plants in a sunny window of your home. Here is what you need —a box six inches by ten inches; some good Harden soil, preferably containing one-fourth sand, one-fourth fine rotted organic matter or leaf mold, and one-half fine loam. Next thing is to sift the soil through a fine sieve and pack in a rather moist condition. Make the furrows one-fourth inch deep and one and one-half inches apart. Sow the seeds at the rate of eight or ten to the inch and cover with soil, A sheet of paper or pane of glass placed over the box will help main tain uniform moisture conditions until germination takes place,'when it must be removed. Keep the soil continuously moist before the seeds germinate, but as soon as the seeds germinate, and plants appear, allow the soil to become somewhat dry be tween waterinfcp so that the growth will be slo\\% making the plant stocky. PROHIBITION OF BEER GREATEST ATTACK OF HUN Saving of Grain by Germans Spells Decisive Victory, Says Hinshaw By Associated Press Chicago, 111, March 5.—A demand for immediate, nation-wide prohibi tion as a war measure was voiced by Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman of the Prohibition National Committee, in an address opening the thirteenth national convention of that party in ■Chicago to-day. More than one thou sand delegates from all parts of the United States were in attendance. In part Mr. Hinshaw said: "We want prohibition for the per iod of the war, but we also want It permanently. We want it in the na tional constitution. Already seven states have ratilied the % prohibition amendment, Mississippi! Montana, Kentucky, Virginia, South Carolina, North Dakota, Maryland, two wet and five dry. We will take it for granted that all dry states will ratify. In that event we must win seven more wet states. The wet states which we believe we can win, in fact almost are certain of winning, are Nevada, Wyoming, Florida, Ohio, Minnesota, Missouri and Texas. That makes seven. There are others wo should win, namely California, Wis consin, Delaware, New Jersey and Vermont; that makes five more. Even New York, Massachusetts, Con necticut and Louisiana are by no means hopeless. I/Oss of Twelve Billions "But I repeat once more, the is sue is not can we secure ratification of the prohibition constitutional j amendment. The issue is will we do it within twelve months or will we allow the matter to be deferred for three or five or even seven years. Do we need to impress upon your mind that the issue is overwhelming. The difference between national pro hibition in twelve months and in three years means a waste of at least twelve billion dollars. Also it will mean the loss of a couple hundred thousand lives. It will mean a de crease in the coal output of fifteen per cent. It will mean the waste of enough grain to feed an army of five million soldiers. The difference be tween national prohibition twelve months from now and three years from now might mean the loss of the conflict between the allies and Ger many. "Germany has pone so far as to] prohibit the use of grain for the manufacture of beer. That is the greatest single attack she could have made against tin- armies of the al lies. Let us make a counter-attack by securing war prohibition within ninety days and national constitu tional prohibition within twelve months. "We also have met here to decide among other things, what shall be our relations henceforth to the or ganization known as the National party. The question, I believe, with us prohibitionists, is, we will accept merger and use in securing more immediate and permanently our ori ginal object, national prohibition. The complete merger might mean a more powerful political organization. That is not the sole thing for us to seek. We want the organization to be powerful for the execution of our main purpose." URGE SAI;E OP FROSTED POTATOES OX FARMS Food Administrator Donald Mc- Cormick has received a notice to urge Dauphin county farmers who have a supply of partly frosted po tatoes on hand, to push the supply on the market, even at a sacrifice, as soon as possible. The potato situa tion is such, the telegram said, to make it urgent that the potato sup ply be conserved. The farmers are urged to hold their supply of sound potatoes a short time while they dis pose of the others. Farmers who have been devoting their land to raising potatoes are particularly urged to continue grow ing them this season. OLD EIGHTH REGIMENT BAND TRANSFERRED Word comes from Camp Hancock. Augusta, that the Eighth Regiment Band which played so gayly as the boys left here last summer is about to be merged into a massed band of 100 pieces and located at Camp Wadsworth, N. C.

It will be the business of this tuneful com pany to cheer up some thousands of New York National Guardsmen who are being organized into pioneer in fantry regiments for corps and army troops.
