THE DOCTOR'S WIFE Agrees With Him About Food A trained nurse says: "In the prac tice of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitatingly recommend it to all my patients. "It is delicate and pleasing to the palate (an essential in food for the sick) and can be adapted to all ages, being softened with milk or cream for balties or the aged when deficiency of j teeth renders mastication impossible. | For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find Grape-Nuts and albumen water very nourishing and refreshing. "This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a spoonful of fruit juice fur flavouring. This affords a great deal of nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate without any distress. "My husband is a physician and he uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it many times for his patients. "Personally I regard a dish of Grape- Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the ideal breakfast for anyone well or sick." In stomach trouble, nervous prostra- 1 tion, etc.. a 10-day trial of Grape-Nuts i will usually work wonders toward nour- i ishing and rebuilding and in this way I end the trouble.

SAFETY EXHIBIT IN WINDOW Department of Labor and Industry Shows Precautions That Should Be Taken An exhibit of safety devices was to day arranged by the Department of Labor and Industry in a Fourth street window of the Dives, Poiueroy & Stew art store, and has been attracting the attention of many passersby.

There are many devices shown which have been designed for the protection not only of mechanics, electricians and laborers, but also of the general public. Of special interest i* a collec ' tion of a hundred goggles worn by 1 workmen in grinding and chipping, which have been damaged by the met al and which by their use saved a hun i dred eyes from harm. A photograph is also showb of a collection of ruined eyes which might have been saved by the use of goggles. The Dejvartment of Labor and In dustry has presented startling statistics on a card in tJie window, pointing out how many accidents there have been ! in the industrial plants of the State, | and what number of them could have i been avoided.

EVANGELIST MILLER WILL SAY FAREWELL ON SUNDAY His Successful Revival Will Come to a Close With the Evening Services —Forty More Trail Hitters Last Night Mechanicsburg, Feb. 19, —Last even ing Evangelist Miller announced that 1 after prayerful consideration, the party ! has decided to continue the campaign until Sunday, closing with a farewell j service on that evening. The announce-1 naent was greeted by prolonged applause s which was renewed several times as it' 'began to die down. When the evangel-' ist said, smilingly, ''lt' you keep that! up, we're liable to stay all summer,'' ' great applause followed. Iu the song service, Prof. Hohgatt had the people in the rear section and the choir, at the opposite end, sing autiphonally "I Love Him" and "For' You 1 Am 'Praying." Cards pledging the erection of a fam ily altar were passed through the con gregation and many were signed. Sub-1 scriptions were received for the maga zine published iu the interest of the "Family Altar League." An unusual gift presented to the Miller party last evening was a mess of fish, caught a few hours before in the Yellow Breeches. Some of the little friends of Eugene Miller, through Ralph Raaeh, presented to him a purse containing a gift of money. Before the sermon Miss Coe sang "The Best Friend to Have Is Jesus." The evan gelist 's subject was '' A Refuge of Lies," based on Isa. 2S: 17. "The hail j shall sweep away the refuge of lies.'"; He spoke particularly of five false ref uges—reasons advanced for not becom- j ing a christian—and answered them all. He showed that the "refuge" of ex-, pecting to be saved just before death is contemptible, as well .as foolish. As i an answer to the "refuge" of a chance j ■after death, he quoted "As the tree' falieth, so shall it lie." He showed! the falsity of infidelity as a "refuge"! by asking: "Do you know of one! drunkard made sober, one thief made i honest, one libertine made pure, by in fidelity?" He closed by pointing to the' "only one safe refuge—the cross at I Jesus Christ. I call you back now to I that cross, and ask you to accept Him i and let Him cleanse your heart by the 1 atoning blood that He shod on' that 1 cross for you." Forty persons respond-i ed to the call. This morning the last of the cottage prayer meetings were held and this aft ernoon Mrs. Bowman gave the last lec ture to herr afternoon Bible class. This evening a song service will be held in the tabernacle, under the direction of Prof. Hohgiatt, and to-morrow evenin" Evangelist Miller will preach again. ° The effects of the revival are being felt all over town. Decrease of profanity is noted in many places where men gather. It is said sixteen members of a social club have been converted and have handed in their club house keys.
