'Talk on Local Option By Mrs. Jones
» Before a large audience of Stevens
...Memorial young people last evening,
£Mrs. Mabel C'roniee Jones spoke on the
.-temperance question as it relates to
"Epworthians, and cited figures and
u.faets that have been gleaned from the ,
of corporations like the j
railroad amd other promi
mnent business enterprises to bear out i
statements.

reason that was vitally related to a
, nation's or a corporation's pockefrbook
1 to make it declare for total abstinence.
! As an illustration, she cited the full
! page advertisements that appeared in
; all the large newspapers of the British
empire at the outbreak of the present
) great war. These were headed "Atten
tion!" and went on to say that it was
| the request of the government that,
during the period throughout which
! the war lasted, every man should be
come a total abstainer. Then followed
i eight reasons why the government
made the request:" First, drimk made a
man's eyesight defective; second, it
made him less resistant to fatigue;
third, it nwtde him more lia'ble to dis
| ease infection, and so on throughout
| the list—it being the object of the
1 British government to impress upou
i the soldiers that were to battle for her
that drink would decrease their fight
ing efficiency and to just that extent
' lessen the total of the army's efficiency
as a fighting machiine.
i Reference -was made to the efforts
now being put forth, as beiih,; hopefu:
; signs of Pennsylvania's coming re
[ generation, and Mrs. Jones urged
every loyal Bpworthian to put forth
his or her (best effort to bring to pass
such legislation as would put our fair
State on an equal plaine with those
which have tried prohibition and found
it to be conducive to higher moraJity
and cleaner living on the part of the
individual and to greater efficiency and
prosperity in business and political
circles.

HARRISBURG ELKS AND
THEIR WIVESAHEND SHOW
Femenine Members of Big Party Will
Accompany Their Husbands ' 'Just
to See the Beautiful Gowns" of
"Girls in the Cast"
The Harrisburg Elke who will go to
Carlisle this evening to see the open
ing production of "They're At It
! Again," the song revue to be present
ed by the Carlisle Elks theatrical as
sociation, laughingly but sincerely de
clare that there is really no basis for
this itory.
The feminine members of the party,
wives of the male contingent, firmly
decline to be interviewed on the sub
ject. They just want to go along be
cause they're crazy to see the show,
they say.
Be all this as it may, somehow,
some where, a rumor has got abroad
to the effect that a newspaper picture
of one of the "pretty participants''' in
the play is directly responsible for the
sudden interest evinced by the femi
nine part of to-night's party.
An Elk took a paper home the other
evening, so the story runs, and grinned
so delightedly at the fetchingly gown
ed "girl" that smiled up at him from
the printed page, that naturally Mrs.
Elk wanted to know the whys and
wherefores. Full and detailed expla
nation as to whom the "girl" really
was fell a trifle flat. The very evening
'tis said, there was considerable phon
ing, the house of the dubious Elk in
question, being a sort of central sta
tion as it were. Just this much of one
of the wire conversations may or may
not throw some light on the subject;
it was only one side of the talking at
that:
" —But May, dear, John eays they
are just men."
" —Ob, heavens, you don't think
that do you "
" —True, she—er— was good look
ing I guess, although I never did care
for that kiind of a coiffure. But oh
dear, I can hardly think such a thing
of John."
" —Yes-es, I guess so. If the Test of
you promise to go. But really May 1
haven't a thing to wear."
" —lndeed! Just let him dare to re
fuse to take me. Good-bye, I 'll see you
at the station Monday. Good-bye! "
So the members of the Harrisburg
Dlks social committee under whose
auspices "They're At It Agaiu," is to
be presented at the Majestic here Fri
day and Saturday, emphatically de
clare that they're only going to Car
lisle to pass on the show, and that they
are taking their wives along for a lit
tle trip.

Without Overloading the Stomach
The business man, especially, needs
food in the morning that will not over
load the stomach, but give mental vigor
for the da} - .
Much depends on the start a man
gets each day as to how he may expect
to accomplish the work on hand.

meat-and-potatoes breakfast, requiring
a lot of vital energy in digesting it.
A Calif, business man found a food
combination for producing energy. He
'writes:
"For years 1 was unable to find a
breakfast food that had nutrition
enough to sustain a business man with
out overloading his stomach, causing
indigestion and kindred ailments.
"Being a very busy and also a very
nervous man, I had about decided to
give up breakfast altogether. But luck
ily I was induced to try Grape-Nuts. ,
"Since that morning I have been a
new man; can work without tiring, my
head iB clear and my nerves strong and
quiet.
"I ftnd that Grape-Nuts, with a little
sugar, and a small quantity of cold milk,
makes a delicious morning meal, which
invigorates me for the day's business."
