HILL TOO SMALL FOR FOOD SHOW Need Exhibition Hall Here With Greater Space on the Ground Floor RAIN DOES NOT STOP BIG CROWD Many Questions Fired at Exhibitors by Hundreds of Visitors—Baskets of Food to Be Given Away This Even ing—Another Concert Scheduled The man behind the information desk nt a railroad station has nothing on the demonstrators back of the booths at the pure food exhibit in the Chestnut street auditorium for ques tions are hurled like bullets from a machine gun and the manufacturers are glad to answer them because it shows that the people are taking an interest in pure food manufacture and want to know all there is to know about it. The attendance at the show con tinues to grow each night. Despite the inclement weather last night there was a crowd as great as on any previous night. The added attraction of a con cert by the Updegrove orchestra brought many persons who stayed throughout the evening. It was feared for a while that the show would suf fer on account of the rain. The concert will be given again this evening. The show promises to go above any similar exhibit in the city in point of attendance and it only shows to man agers according to Oarl K. Deen that the city is in need of an exhibition hall where exhibitions can be placed on the ground floor. The present ex hibit is about the limit of any thing that the city can stand for and plans to make a bigger show next year can hardly be made.' It is practically impossible to install heavy machines as there is no practical method of getting them onto the sec ond floor. If the show could be placed on a first floor it is likely that actual manufacturing would be shown. The persons now in the show realize what it means and in order to be early next year they are now engaging space, so as not to be left out. To night ten baskets of groceries valued at $7 will be given awav at 9.50 o'clock at the show to the holders of lucky numbers. Flaroma Is like the name, Flavor and Aroma; is the right coffee for you.

TO BUILD TEMPLE IN ANY WEATHER Continued From First I'IIRC. seat 1,500 persons. The total capac ity of the building will be 7,500. night, to a call from the ex ecutive committee, about 800 persons, all 'belonging to the various commit tees connected with the campaign, were present at an enthusiastic meeting held in tihe Pine Street 'Presbyterian church, i E. Z. Gross, former Mayor of 'Harris burg; 'Miss Colt, of the Stougth party, and W. \V. .Shannon addressed the com mittee of the whole. Mr. Shannon said: • 4 Some persons try to discourage t'his [ evangelistic movement 'by saying it is j only a wave of emotionalism that will I subside as soon as the evangelist leaves I the city, and that people are not sin- I cerelv transformed when they hit the sawdust trail; but 1 know that such is not the case. Prom personal exper ience and observation I can truthfully say that a very large percentage of the converts remain permanently in their transformed state." Pray for Success of Campaign The meeting resolved itself into a prayer meeting and more than thirty volunteer prayers were offered asking for the success of the revival. At a meeting of the music commit tee last night, in the campaign head quarters. the music for the taibernacle chorus was arranged. The enrollment of the choir is progressing most satisfac torily, it was reported. More than 1,- 200 persons already have volunteered to sing and about 100 musicians have enroilled for the orchestra. Any person, irrespective of church affiliations, desiring to assist either in the Choir or in the orchestra to be used during the tabernacle meetings can en roll with any mem'ber of the musk, committee from a co-operating church or can report at the Sunday school Chapel of Grace Methodist Episcopal ■church, whiclh is located on State wtreet near Third street to j morrow evening at 7.30 o'clock, if desiring to play in the orchestra, or at 8 o'clock if wishing to sing in the choir. Rehearsals will be held at. those hours. The music, .committee desires that all persons wishing either to sing in the Chorus or play in the orchestra will at tend the preliminary meetings regularly. Prompt action should be taken in order to be sure of getting a place in the ehoi r.

E. churc'h took a similar census of tlhe Afllisoa Hill district lastt year ami found hun dreds of families not connected with any cfhurch. IMr. Boswell, ohairtman of the census committee, who had charge of the census taken by the Stevens Me morial church, states that rtatistici show that at least one-tlhjrd of the en tire population of t'he United States is totally indifferent to church work. He also states that it is his opinion that at least one-third of the papulation of the city of Harriaburg never enter the chure/h doors. SALTING SAVES TIMBER Instances Which Show How It Acts as a Preservative It was found in replacing a recently burned railroad trestle along the north shore of Great Salt lake, I'tah, that the piles were sound after forty-three years of service. These were of local pine and fir, but were found to have •been impregnated with lake salt. The result of this investigation is what started the United States Forest Service on its recent examinations of the use of salts as a preservative of timber. At another point on the lake some 18-inch piles, 29 years old, have been similarly preserved with salt, which has penetrated to the center. Timbers in the Southern Pacific rail road trestles across the lake, placed in 1902, appear as good as when driven and have been preserved above the water line bv salt spray dashed upon them. The first transcontinental tele graph line, which was built before the tirst railroad, extended west from Salt l.ako City through the then prosperous I mining camps of Euroku, Austin and others. When the railroad was built the telegraph line was transferred to this right, of way, and the old poles were sawed off at the ground. A recent ex | amination of the butts left in the ground in the salt desert near Fish Springs, Utah, showed that after the fifty years since the poles were cut off the butts were perfectly sound. It has been common practice in th% SMt Lake valley to preserve poles by put ting about seventy-five pounds of salt iu the ground about the butts. —Engi- neering News.

MEDICAL AUTHORITY SLAMS COFFEE USE Says Its All Right as a Medicine But Not as a Food—Contains De structive Drug Caffeine "Tea and coffee are not iu any sense food, therefore cannot add construc tive tissues to our bodies," declares Dr. Joseph M. Aikin, of Omaha, Neb. "This is not the worst of it," says Dr. Aikin. "Any substance that is not wholly a food, or that contains de structive in excess of constructive ele ments for tissue building, is harmful. "The caffeine and thein in coffee and tea are cerebral stimulants, the tannic acid is an astringent, affecting especially the muscular fibers in the in testinal walls. They are useful as medi cine, but not as food. Tea and coffes inebriety is increasing more rapidly tliau our native horn population." NOTE—Children not only desire but often need a warm nourishing table drink as much as their parents. Con sequently with the banishment of the coffee pot from the family table IN STANT POSTUM finds ready favor. This delicious food drink is absolutely pure and free from the coffee drug "caffeine." 3
