CALL OF THE EVANGELIST
Attendance at Mechanicsburg Taber
nacle Affected by Weather, but
largest Number of Converts at
Any One Meeting Was Result
Mechanicsburg, Feb. 3. —After tho
Monday rest, the services of the union
evangelistic campaign began again yes
terdlay with the neighborhood prayer
meetings in the morning, the business
men's meeting at 12.45, Mrs. Bow
man's Bible study at 2.30, personal
■workers' meeting at 6.45, and the
preaching service at 7.15.
The special visitors last evening were
the pupils of the grammar school nnd
the sixth grade, who came in a body,
accompanied by their principal and
teachers. They sang two songs, "Hail
and Crown Him King" and "I.ift Up
the Banner," with Miss Bessie Bear as
their leader. The opening prayer was
offered by R. C. Weeber, secretary of
the Carlisle Y. M. C. A., and the Scrip
ture lesson was read by the Rev. C. F.
Raach.
Just before the sermon Miss Cree
sang " I Want to Co There, l>on't
You?" When Mr. Miller rose to preach,
he asked all who want to go to heaven
to raise their hands, —then all who are
ready to go. Again he asked for brief
requests for prayer for unsaved friends,
and many were made. After a brief
prayer for these unsaved ones, the evan
gelist preached on "Heaven." He gave
a* his reasons for believing in heaven,
the universal. God-implanted yearning
for heaven, the fact that no one has
heaven on earth, and She fact that God
savs there is a heaven. He showed
that heaven is a real place, a place of
magnificent size and of wondrous beau
ty, that heaven is a city of gates, that
its gates are at the end of the straight
and narrow way, ami, that they have
been opened only through the death of
Jesus Christ. "The pearls of the gate
of heaven were formed from the shed
ding of the li"e blood of Jesus Christ;
there was no gate until that blood was
shed, and the gate will never be opened
for you but through your acceptance of
tlie sacrifice of that biood. The beau
ty of heaven is not in the walls of
Jasper and the gates of pearl, but in
the presence of Jesus. Are you ready
to meet Him there!"
Although, xxwing to the inclement,
weather, the attendance was smaller
than it has been on any previous even
ing but one, the number of penitents
was larger than on any previous even
ing. Forty-five persons came forwardl
to confess their sins and pledge them
selves to Christ.
To-night Mr. Miller will preach on
"Excuses Answered." Friday will be
"Merchants' Day."

FIRST REPORT ON INFANT
MORTALITY IN U.S. ISSUED
Johnstown, Pa., First City tq Be Studied
Federal Department Of Labor, Re
veals Appalling Death Rate in Cer
tain Sections
Washington, D. C., Feb. 3.—The
Children's Bureau of the Department
1 of Labor issues to-day the first report
in its study of infant mortality in the
United States. The report emphasizes
the fact that this is only the first item
in a proposed extended inquiry. While
it carefully avoids conclusions, certain
conditions are pointed out as eoiiuidffnt
with a hiigh infant death rate in the
one city under consideration. It finds
that the infant death rate varied in dif
ferent parts of the same city. In the
poorest section, where sanitary condi-,
tions were at their worst, the rate was
271 per thousand babies, or more than
five times that of the choice residential
section of the city.
The deaths of the babies investigat
ed were in inverse proportion to thi;
earnings of their fathers. Babies whose
fathers earned less than ten dollars a
week died at the rate of 256 per thou
sand. Those whose fathers earned
twenty-five or more dollars a week died
at the rate of 84 per thousand.
Breast-Fed Babies Live Longest
The report shows that artificially-fed
babies died at a much more rapid rate
than breast-fed babies. In the earliest
months of the baiby's life exclusive
breast-feeding appears to be the only
safe method. Only 4 6.6 baibies per thou-,
sand died umjjy one year of age when
breast fed for at least three months, as
against 165.8 per thousand who died
when fed exclusively on artificial food
up to the age of three months.
Where mothers were employed a large
part of the time in heavy work babies
died at a much more rapid rate. In one
group of 19 mothers whose babies all
died, 15 had been keeping lodgers, an
arduous occupation among the foreign
women, where the wife without extra
change often washes and irons for the
lodgers and buys aud prepares their
food.
The city bears its share of responsi
bility for infant deaths. A high rate
of infant deaths was found in coinci
dences with neglected streets and un
sanitary housing. The report shows for
135 miles of streets and alleys, only
41 miles of sewers and 36 outlets, only
64 per cent, of the streets paved, and
but 11 per cent, of the alleys. In houses
where water had to be carried in from
outdoors, the infant death rate was
198 per thousand, as against 11S per
thousand where water was piped iuto
the house.
j These findings are based on a report
as to infant mortality conditions in
Johnstown, Pa. Other cities now being
studied are Manchester, N. H., Brock
ton, Mass. and Saginaw, Mich.
Why Johnstown Was Selected
The city of Johnstown was chosen as
the first towu to be studied because
of its interest as a type of town in
which there are no large industries em
ploying women, and because its size and
its good birth registration permitted a
: study with the limited staff which the
I bureau could at first assign to the work.
In her letter submitting the Johns
town report to the Secretary of Labor,
Miss Julia CY Lathrop, chief of the
i hildren's Bureau, states that the sub
ject of infant mortality was chosen for
the first field inquiry because of its pro
found importance in our national life.
According to an estimate of the U. S
Census Bureau, at least 300,000 babies
die annually in this countrv, which
means approximately one baby out of
every eight under one year of age.
Leading sanitarians say that if proper
measures of hygiene and sanitation
were observed this number could be in
definitely reduced. The Children's Bu
reau is trying to learn the conditions of
life most favorable for American
babies.
Obtaining the Information
Every mother of a Johnstown baby
born in 1911 was visited by women
agents of the Children's Bureau and in
formation obtained about the family
surroundings of the baby, how his
father earns the money necessarv for
his care, and how much he earns,
whether his mother works outside the
home and how heavy her work is with
in the home, whether the city streets
are safe, the water pure, the milk clean.
The subjects considered in this first
report; city and street environment,
housing, nationality, mother's age, lit
eracv and married history, the feeding
of the baby, the occupations of the
mothers, the family earnings, etc., show
some of the lines along which the Chil
dren's Bureau expects to find informa
tion leading to a reduction of the high
rates of infant mortality in the United
States.
The report of infant mortality con
ditions in Johnstown was written by
Miss Emma Duke, one of the women
investigators of the bureau. This rei»ort,
like the other publications of the bu
reau, may be obtained free of charge

RECIPE TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
By a Specialist
A very satisfactory preparation
which darkens gray hair aud acts as
a corrective agent for dandruff and
other diseases of the scalp can be made
at small exjiense anil in your own home
by dissolving a small box of, Barbo
Compound in 7 ounces of water and
then adding an ounce of bay rum and
a quarter ounce of glycerine. Any drug
store can furnish these ingredients.
This is to be applied once a week until
the hair is sufficiently darkened, then
every two weeks to keep the hair soft
and glossy and the scalp in ft healthy
condition. It may be used with equal
success in darkening the beard. This
is a preparation that gives splendid
results, both as n hair darkener and a
remedy for all scalp disorders, and us
well worthy of a trial. You will find it
far superior to the ordinary store prepa
tions and much less expensive.—Adv.

Shewn in the Crossing of Pure Yellow
and Pure Green Peas
The following beautifully clear sum- !
j marv of the principles o\ niendelistn is j
j due to jtlie Rev. W. Wilks, -the famous
horticulturist, who developed the Shir- j
ley poppy:
If you. cross pure yellow or pure j
green peas either way—it matters not I
i which is seed bo-trer and which pollen
| bearer —you will net all yellow sceils. j
j If you sow these hybrid seeds each will,
1 j if it germinates, produce a plant vvhicn
! will bear, say, forty seeds, thirty of
which will on the average be yellow
j and ten green. The green, if sown and
j sown for countless generations, will al
: ways bear green seeds true to tiie orig- !
; |inal' parents (barring the always pos
j silde intervention of insects).
Not so the thirty yellow. These i
, j when sown will on the average produce j
I ten plants bearing all pure yellow seeds,!
> which will bo constant and true to the I
| original yellow parent for countless
j generations. The remaining twenty
j plants will be impure yellow, each plant I
j producing, on the average, one-quarter
j of its seeds pure yellow, one-quarter I
I pure green and one-half impure yellow, I
j which last will repeat the process and j
