THREE REASONS
Each With Two Legs and Ten Fingers
A Boston woman who is a fond
mother writes an amusing article about
her experience feeding her boys.
Among other things she says: "Three
chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Rob, Jack,
and Dick, respectively, are three of our
reasons for using and recommending the
food. Grape-Nuts, for these youngsters
have been fed on Grape-Nuts since in
fancy, and often between meals when !
other children would have been given !
candy.
"I gave a package of Grape-Nuts to
a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was a
weazened little thing, ill half the time.
The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and;
cream greedily and the mother con- j
tinued the good work, and it was not i
long before a truly wouderful change I
manifested itself in the child's face 1
and body. The results were remarkable, j
even for Grape-Nuts.
"Both husband and I use Grape-Nuts!
every day and keep strong and well and
have three of the finest, healthiest boys
you can find in a day's march."
Many mothers instead of destroying
the children's stomachs with candy anil
cake give the youngsters a handful of
Grape-Nuts when they are begging for
something in the way of sweets. The
result is soon shown in greatly increased
health, strength and mental activity.

"AMERICAN BUSINESS IS
NOW OFF THE BIOD-BANK"
President Chalmers Makes Stirring Ad
dress at the Dealers' Dinner Given
During the Great New York Auto
mobile Show
The following report of Mr. Chal
nier s talk at the Chalmers dealers'
dinner during the New York show was
widely printed in the New York papers
and called forth much favorable com
ment and endorsement in the automobile
trade and also on the part of New York
bankers, who took occasion to compli
ment Mr. Chalmers on his remarks.
"The good sJiip 'American Busi
ness' has pulled off the mud bank of
depression and is gaining headway ev
ery minute.
''Now the thing for us all to do is
to put the steam of hard work into her
engines and we'll drive the ship for
ward as never before. There is noth
ing wrong with this country. The
fundamental things that make prosper
ity are here vet.
"•Prosperity begins in the ground—
in the fields, the forests, the mines. All
these factories are just as good as they
ever were. But they all require men
and men's brains to make them yield.
And the men must be on the job.' The
only antidote for hard times is hard
work.
"To me the dominant thing in this
new year is hope. We were ail glad to
see the old year go, glad to see the cur
tain rung down on 1914. But 1915
1 believe offers a wonderful opportunity
to American business men. We regret
this war; we would do anything in our
power to stop it. But we can't stop it.
'And while it is going on we mustn't
forget that we are the only great na
tion in the world that is going right
ahead producing the things that people
need. So business ought to be good
with us. It is good and will be better.
"The whole broad field of American
business, to my mind, is a series of cir
cles within circles. The big outside
circle is the railroads. Then comes the
circle of the steel industry. Then
scores upon scores of circles represent
ing different lines of manufacture—in
cluding the automooile business. And
so on down to the smallest circles rep
resenting the little retail stores.
"We can make the business situation
for 1915 what we will. It's up to us
—the business men of America. We
must go forward with hope: we must
work hard, aud I am confident that be
fore another automobile show rolls
around we shall have proved that the
business success of the country, like
that of any individual, is nine-tenths
man and one-tenth conditions. Adv.*

GREAT SLuBAY CROWDS IT
MECHANICSBURu feiliSTlffi
Evangelist Miller Holds "Family
Night." Talked on the Liquor Ques
tion Yesterday Afternoon and De
livered Sermon on "Hell"
Mechanicsburg, -lan. 25.—Saturday
evening was "'Pauwlv Night" at the
tabernacle. The central section of seats
was reserved for families sitting to
gether. The "booster ehorus'* again
occupied the platform, and the lirst
halt' hour was devoted to songs uv
them. Following thin, the opening
prayer was made by the Rev. A. P.
Stover, of Carlisle. Mr. Miller then
asked the families of various numbers
of children to rise. The largest nunnber
of children vTas six, four families, the
Merediths, the Sroetlbakers, the Slc
l4tues and the llaudshews, each having
th:it number of children present. Mr.
Miller announced that all of the Mere
dith children have >bee» converted since
the tabernacle meetings started. To
each member of each of those families,
Mr. Miller gave a song book, a little
manual of Christian living, and an
autograph photograph of himself, .lust
preceding the sermon Miss tree sang
"O What a King!'"
Mr. Miller preached ou •'Home." He
said that the occupation of hoinemaker
is the most honorable occupation in the
wide world, and told the mothers who
talk of not having time to raise three
children to "think of Susanna Wesley,
who rfiised nineteen and they were all
good ones." He commented 011 the sad
fact that "the very worst company
some boys of the town are in is when
thev walk down street with their own
fathers." He urged parents to remem
ber that children will reproduce their
vices, as well as their virtues. "If you
think it's smart to rail at Jesus Christ,
and sneer at your wife's religion, you
can expect your boy to be a sceptic.
The way to stop having infidels, law
breakers, thugs, is to quit raising
them." The father who evades the
game law, and dodges the tax collector,
is training up his hoy to believe that
all the law he is to obey is what he
can't evade, and need not be surprised
if his boy some day occupies a crim
inal's cell. The mother who tells a
pleasant lie to her caller In tiie pres
ence of her innocent little daughter,
needs not be surprised if that daughter,
a few years later, tells her she was
spending the evening with a girl friend
when in fact she was at a public dance
hall with a disreputable young man.
The greatest need to-day is for more
Christianity, more old-fashioned relig
ion, in the home. Only seven per cent,
of the Christian homes of America have
the family altar. There are lots of
women, and in this town, too. who know
all a.bout bridge whist, and don't know
beans about the Bible. There are fath
ers and mothers at society functions,
at clu'bs, not knowing where their chil
dren are. Many so-called homes are
just places to sleep. You may live in a
palatial residence, but if you must lie
down on your luxurious bed to night
and listen to the tottering footsteps of
a drunken son, or the gi<ldy laugh of a
daughter who has lost the brightest
jewel of her womanhood, that's not a
home—that's hell."
As he told of the honor paid by the
whole nation to the allies of the man
who wrote "Home, Sweet Home." the
children's chorus sang the refrain soft
ly. He closed with an appeal to his
hearers to become Christians, if for no
other reason than to meet in heaven
the loved ones who have gone on be
fore, and prayer ''God hel;> you to get
ready for the great home reunion."
Sixteen persons responded to the invita
tion. Including the children's meeting,
the entire number of decisions reported
for the day was thirty-eight. Three
married couples were among those w'ho
came forward at rhe evening meeting.
Yesterday morning the Sunday
schools of the co-ojierating churches
gathered in the tabernacle for a Sunday
