14 ALL CHURCH SERVICES IN CITY .CANCELLED BECAUSE OF INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC ' CHURCH DOORS TO BE CLOSED All Indoor Public Gatherings Annulled by Health De partment Order In compliance with the ruling of Dr. B. Franklin Royer, Acting Com missioner of Health for the State of Pennsylvania and Dr. J. M. J. Rau nick, city health officer, doors of all Harrisburg churches will be shut tight to-morrow. In Dr. Royer's order, issued Thursday night, the matter of closing churches and pub lic gatherings was left optional with the local health boards. In order that'the present epidemic of Spanish influenza shall not spread, the local health officer has exercised his au thority. For the first time since the epi demic of infantile paralysis several years ago, the State Health Depart ment has asserted its constitutional authority in closing public meeting places. Clergymen of the city, when they heard the new ruling, were quick in cancelling all meetings held in their churches on Sunday. Owing to this drastic closing order, the Harrisburg Telegraph does not publish its customary church direc tory and advance notices of church services to-day. Finds Cure for Rheumatism After Suffering Fifty Years! "I am eighty-three vears old and J doc tored fot rheumatism ever since I came Jut ox the arm}, over fifty vears ago. Like many others, i spent money freely lor so called 'cures, and I have read about 'Uric Acid' until i could almost taste it. I could not Bleep nights oi walk without pain; my hands were so sore and stiff r could not hold a pen. But now lam again In active business ana can wa:k with ease or write si! day with comfort. Friends are Bur prised at the change.'' HOW IT HAPPENED. Mr. Ashelman Is onty one otithousands who suffered for yeais, owing to the gen eral belief in the old, false thsory that "Uric Acid" causes rheumatism. This er roneous belief induced him and legions of unfortunate men and women to take wrong treatments. You might Just as well attempt to put out a fire with oil as to try and get rid of your rheumatism, neuritis and like complaints, by laking treatment supposed to drive Uric Aeld out of your blood and bodv. Many physicians and scientists now know that I'rie Acid never did, never can and never will cause rheumatism: that it is a natural and nec essary constituent of the blood; that it is found in every new-born babe, and that without it we could not live! HOW OTHERS MAY BENEFIT FROM A GENEROUS GIFT. These statements may teem strange to some folks, because nearly all suf ferers have all along been led to be lieve in the old "Uric Acid" humbug. It took Mr. Ashelman fifty years to find out this truth. He learned how to get rid of the true cause of his rheumatism, other disorders and re cover his strength from "The Inner Mysteries," a remarkable book that is now being distributed free by an au thority who devoted over twenty years to the scientific study of this trouble. If any reader of the Har risburg Telegraph wishes a copy of tfiis book that reveals startling facts overlooked by doctors and scientists for centuries past, simply send a post card or letter to H. P. Clearwater, 127 A Street Hallowell, Maine, and it will be sent by return mail without any charge whatever. Send now! You may never get this opportunity again. If not a sufferer yourself, hand this good news to some afflicted friend. i Jbßw ® : Jm - nk .ft Pra j, yifl I For colds develop into Pneumonia You are safe when you take Father John's Medicine for your cold and to build new flesh and strength, becauseitisfree from morphine, chloro from, codeine, heroin, or other dangerous drugs.

The Rev. 11. S. Tool, one of the prominent ministers of the conference of the United Evangeli cal Church, is attending the general j conference session at York this I week. Early in his life the church held ' him in its strong grasp through the 'hallowed intiuence of ills mother. I Her death when he had reached the iage of 11 years was to him a great iloss, but her influence more than any other held him to the purpose of God in service to Him. The Rev. Mr. Tool was converted at the age of 19 years and entered the ministry within three months. License was granted him at the age of 10 years and his entry into the ministry was from the conference at Blue Springs, Neb., in March, 1900. Since that time with the ex ception of about live months, he has •'eon in the active work of the min i try, for three years in the Kansas conference and the remainder of the time in Platte River. He has been interested in western mission work and always desired for the work which lies beyond. This op portunity came to him more fully since his election to the office of pre siding elder in his conference in August. 1916, for with this work came the supervision 6f the work in the state of Montana. This has given'him vision of the greatness of ithe field of home mission endeavor such as he never before had. His service as a pastor was very pleas ant and successful. METHODIST Camp Hill—The Rev.

Doctor Garfield's action was based on ad vice of Acting Surgeon General Richards, of the army, that con tinuance of the gasollneless Sundays would have little, if &&K '"Mima ce on the spread of the disease. Igamous principle. "Single marriages will never pass 11 jaway, in my judgment. Great men i have ever been polygamists—legally cr illegally. Inferior men will al ; ways shrink from doubling domestic burdens. Polygamy is productive of far ijiorc real romance than the one man-one-wOman union could pos sibly give. Romance keeps pace with the polygamous husband's evolution ary development as patriarch, saint, sympathetic monitor and provider. Talk of the romance of monogamy. When the human equation becomes a polygon, imagiqe the increased op-' portunlty for novelty and emotional display. "The children of righteous poly gamous unions," continues Mrs. ' Gates, "appear to be decidedly above I le average and are often physically j superior to their parents. In poly ! gamy mothers have far more inti i mute control of children than in monogamous life. In right polygamy j noth men and women have a keen- | er sense of life's values, a quicker sense of humor and a livelier per ception of their own potentialities. Released from the constant demands of the monogamous husband the | wife finds time to develop her exeeu itive faculties in public channels. 1 This accounts for the splendid or ytnization of women among my own . oople. Mormon women have learn ed the vital lesson that the mother U.ust not altogether absorb the | wife." ! Summing up, Gates gives the | grandiose sentence, "Polygamy is jthe privilege of the gods; the scorn of the clod." : This defiant two-columned defense I of an illegal practice and system is j another of the signs that Mormon ism hopes to utilize the tragedy of Europe to its own ends and that it ji on the verge of new efforts for I the rehabilitation of its polygamous ■ creed. | Community Mass Meeting to Be Held at Marysville | Marysville, Oct. s.—To-morrow .afternoon at 3.15 o'clock in the Methodist Church, the Marysville people will enjoy a fine service.

If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and gen erates poisons, gases and toxins which ane absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body. A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening a,nd freshening the entire alimen tary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
