PHOSPHITE NOT PHOSPHATE
The Proper Sodium Solution to Use in
Bichloride Poisoning
In a recent iss ,<j of a well-known
medical journal the statement is made
mat mercuric chloride poisoning can
be rreate.i by the use of sodium phos
phate w.ti ex ess of sodium oicarbon- ,
ate. Thus, editorially, the same jour-'
nal says. "This solution, it is
claimed, instantly converts the bi
chloride to the mild chloride, which'
an be removed by a dose of castor
oil. It is very necessarv that the so
dium phosphate be chemically pure."
"Attention should, therefore, again
be called to the fact," says the "Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa
tion. "that the cajnes 'sodium phos
phate' and 'sodium phosphite' are so
simiiar tnat a serious error can be
male by the misprinting or misinter
pretation of a single letter. Sodium
phosphite has been sugared a« an
anti-iote to mercuric chloride because
it acts as a reducing agent to convert
nien-uri • chloride nto calomel —mer-
•urous chloride—wnile the phosphite
s ■ iiangei to phosphate. Sodium
r.bosphate will have no such action on
mercuric chloride because it is al
ready as highly oxidized as possible.''

STRONG SERIfIONDELIVERED
Dr. Clayton Albert Smucker "On Wliy
Can't Harrisburg Have a
Great Revival?"
Ke\. Dr. Ciayton Albert Smucker, of
the Stevens Memorial Methodist
Episcopal church. Thirt eentii and Yer
non streets, pre.tched on " Whv Can 't
Harrisburg Have a (jreat Revival?''
He saij;
Tiieie is need of an awakening in'
the church. The wheels of God's cnar
lot are dragging heanily. There is
chi.l on the pulpit anil on the pew.
Drowsy men are putting forth drowsy
efforts -o reach folks with the evauge!
of Christ. If the men who occupy our
pews on Sunday were as apathetic u
tneir business on the other davs of the
week as th,ey are in their church work
one-half of the busiuess houses and the
, moneyed institutions in Harr sburg
would be .n the hands of the receivers'
before the first of the vear 1915.
This is not criticism. It is an appeal
.. r e * rne stness and for energy in the
King s business. Go.l's plan is f o
reach Harrisburg through His church.
Tne church needs to be awakened
for the sake of the city. The church
needs a revival tcf awaken her from the
lethargy that has overtaken her. to
thrill her pulses with new life, and to
inspire her with courage for the carry
ing out of her great commission. 'Why|
Can's Harrisburg Have a Great Re
vival!' Harrisburg can have it: other !
places are being revived. Oh. Church '
of God, a great revival is possible.
Business men need to head the move
ment. Preachers have tftcir part, but
the great revival that Harrisburg needs
to-day is .one in which business men
from their various churches, who love
God and eschew evil will come togeth-1
er. organize and plan for Vhe movemrnt
and never give it up until it is a si c-
I cess.
"Harrisburg can have a great re
vival, if the Christian folk of the eitv '
are willing to pay the price. A great !
' revival is necessary. It will mean hap
piness in the home. It will mean re
united families. It will mean a larger I
church constituency. It will mean the
quickening of all church activities. 1;
will mean happier children. It will i
mean more honesty, more sobriety, |
more virtue. It will mean the quick-!
ening of our civic conscience. It will 1
mean the purging of our social atmos
phere. It will mean a city—more in
dustrious. more honest, more painstak
ing. more progressive. To dav let the
battle cry of the church be! 'Harris
burg For God.' bet the church dare
grandly when the time comes: suffer
nobly f need be: but above all, rise
to the full height of her experience of
the beauty and sacredness of Christ-'
Uke love, and God will do the rest."

BERLIN GENERAL STAFF
ON THE FALL OF ANTWERP
Berlin, Oct. 12, by Wireless to
' Siiyville, L. 1. The general staff of
'•tlie German army announces to-day
J that in the beginning a very strong
i garrison defended Antwerp with great
,! energy, but that after the attack by
Uermaii infantry and marine divisions
the defenders fled in fulT rout. Among
the Antwerp garrison was one British
■ marine brigade.
! The complete collapse of thi> Anglo
, Belgian defense of Antwerp was shown
by the fact that no military authority
( could be found with which to treat
concerning the surrender of the city.
11 This surrender was finally negotiated
{ with the burgomaster.
It is impossible to give as yet the
, number of prisoners taken with Ant
, werp. Many of the defenders who fled
! to Holland were interned.
. tieneral Von Beseler, who has been
' j decorated with the Order of Merit for
his capture of Antwerp, has issued a
'proclamation addressed to the people,
saving no one would bo harmed unless
they committed hostilities upon the
Hermans. "Resistance." he announced,
"will cause the destruction of your
11 beautiful city." Private property in
1! Antwerp was spared.

They kept at am'- length those detestable men;
What an era of virtue she live,l in! but stay

If the men were s„ wicked- I'll ask my uapa
How he tlared to propose to my darling mama?

1 am thinking if aunt knew so little of sin,

, And her graikl-aunt—it scares me how shockingly sad

A martyr will save us, and nothing else can;

Though, when to the altar a victim I no,

but little to the car owner, but he un
consciously teriws untold benefit from

ask for a certain kind o.' p|;\:k plug

sizes ot tires from which to select tie

Suspicious
Ernest Vi'.etelly, who has published
a record of his experiences during ma
Fran 'o-Prussian war, tells a story to
illustrate the popular mania for'discov
ering "treason that prevailed in
Paris.
He says that one day a soldier re
marked to a comrade:
*" 1 am sura that the captain is-a
traitor.''
"How's that/" was the re.joiuder.
"Well." said the suspicious soldisr,
"have you not noticed that e.verv time
he orders 11s to march forward we in
variably encounter the enemv ?"
