All Stove Troubles Fade Away
Befo: - This Pipeless Furnace
Stoves and base-burners are trouble
makers, work makers, expense makers.
There's the trouble of setting them up in
the Fall and taking them down in the
Spring, with unsightly pipes disfiguring
the home six months out of twelve.
There's the work of bringing in coal and
taking away ashes, with the extra work
caused by the dirt and dust that fills the
rooms. There's the expense of buying
several stoves (because one is mot
sufficient to heat a home), the expense of
maintaining three heating units, and the
expense of replacing furnishings which
are damaged by dirt and dust. You canbuy a
Home Ventilator Furnace
The Original PATENTED Pipeless Model
Manufactured only by the Homer Furnace Co., Homer, Mich.
. for little (if any) more than you pay for a good base burner, yet it will give you
furnace perfection. The heat will be distributed evenly throughout the house—and
plenty of it. No small registers scattered about, no wall flues to invite fire danger,
no cold air drafts, no pipes in the rooms, no space wasted, no trouble to install, no
er at any time, no heat in the cellar. A “Home Ventilator” in the cellar, one
combination hot- and cold-air register right above it, and the heating system is
complete.

Read the Booklet “From Pig to Pen"
Facts Concerning The Home Ventilator Furnace
An announcement made by competition would indicate that a DEC-
LARATION OF WAR had been made on all types of furnaces by the one
they are handling, and if this article were allowed to go unheeded, the re-
would be that possibly many people would be mis-led into purchasing
furnace other than the HOME VENTILATOR, being under the im-
hion -that they were getting the original.
We take pleasure in informing the people of Mount Joy‘and vicinity
t G. Moyer of your town is prepared to furnish you with the HOME
ENTILATOR FURNACE, which has been on the market for the past
ven years and is absolutely the ORIGINAL PATENTED PIPELESS
RNACE using the combination hot and cold air register.
TAKE SPECIAL NOTICE—Mr. G. Moyer has copies of patent pa-
s. both of ours’ and competition, which will easily show that the HOME
TILATOR FURNACE was in use and PATENTED LONG BEFORE
OTHER FURNACE of this type was HEARD of.
A LITTLE HISTORY—Back in 1910 when the only furnace was the
ipe job, Mr. S. D. Strong, President of the Homer Furnace Company,
, Michigan, conceived the idea that if a furnace could be made which
isfactorily heat residences, stores, churches, schoolhouses, etc.,
time save the heat which was being wasted in cellars by
sale would be Mi Against the advice of older
f
1
ed furnace men, he ected and manufactured a few
OR FURNACES. The rasult was a REVOLUTION IN
dd PLN WORLD. Farmers, who Theretofore could not have
BS, because their vegetable storage would be spoiled, bought
HERS,” installed them in the vegetable cellars, heated their houses
ch cheaper than with stoves, and so much more satisfactorily, that
hat time THOUSANDS OF HOME VENTILATORS HAVE BEEN
from Maine to California, and from Florida to Canada.
ow—when other manufacturers saw the enormous strides made by
OME VENTILATOR, there eyes began to open, and from the sickly
hey tried to maintain they were brought up against the solid fact
5 SAVE THEIR BACON, they MUST manufacture something as
he HOME VENTILATOR as possible without infringing on the rights
D. Strong. SMALL MANUFACTURERS sprung up trying to get a
old in the pipeless world, but the HOME VENTILATOR has been too
stablished and had too big a start to be affected, and the sales of the
» Furnace Company still lead by many lengths. IN THE LAST FIVE
UTHS, 4000 HOME VENTILATOR FURNACES HAVE BEEN SOLD
RESPONSIBLE DEALERS.
DON'T BE ECEIVED into buying an imitation of the HOME VEN-
ATOR FURNACE. Don’t let other manufacturers experiment at your
ase. When you buy, buy the ORIGINAL. Five minutes comparison
convince you. Weigh the 24 inch fire pot of the HOME VENTILATOR
en, we $a 24.in. we mean inside measurement) then weigh that of
v other furnace of the same size. Result? About 40 percent. in favor
the HOME VENTILATOR. THE HOME VENTILATOR is equipped
ith heavy g lvanized casings throughout; no flimsy black inner casings to
out, and which are good only as talking points, and the buyer pays for
.talking points by getting a lighter furnace.
The HOME VENTILATOR FURNACE is sold under a guaranty to do
pe business or no sale, and every casting is guaranteed for five years, ex-
[ept the grate, and our reason for not guaranteeing this is that sometimes
careless user will allow ashes to accumulate underneath, and same is
ble to melt out. However this happens only rarely.
After manufacturing HOME VENTILATOR FURNACES for seven
Gur repair business will not amount to $1.00 a day, which we judge
a fair evidence of the durability of our castings.
Oar modern plant at Homer, Michigan, is equipped to manufacture
p00 furnaces per year, and enables us to turn out a furnace which is a
oy to the installer, and castings second to none.

PATENTED PIPELESS FURNACE, and the one from which all

PROCLAMATION
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4th, 1917
IS PROCLAIMED AS GO-TO-
SUNDAY - SCHOOL DAY
THRUOUT THE STATE,
To the People of Pennsylvania:
Whereas, It is particularly impor-
tant during war times that the spirit-
ual interests of a people should be
developed and conserved in the most
effective manner because from the
spiritual life of a nation flwos its
strength, its stability, its permanence;
and
Whereas, The Sunday School has a
splendid record of service in impart-
ing spiritual guidance to the young
people of the Nation and has un-
matched resources in bringing a
knowledge of the Bible to the con-
science of the people;
Therefore, I, Martin Grove Brum-
baugh, Governor of the Common-
wealth of Pennslyvania, hereby
designate Sunday, November fourth,
1917, as a “(io-to-Sunday-school”’
day, upon which day I call upon all
people in this Commonwealth to as-
semble themselves in their respective
places of worship and elsewhere, for
the purpose of emphasizing the im-
portance of the Sunday School and
through the Sunday School the im-
portance of spiritual training to our
people. Early impressions are most
enduring impressions. The training,
therefore, of childhood in religious
matters is of vital moment to the
Nation. The power of example is
vastly more important than the
teaching of precepts. For that rea-
son, the adult population should lead
the way to childhood and approve by
their presence the movement hereby
designated. Let us all keep in mind
the sublime fact that a nation that
forgets its God will perish, and a
nation that loyally, and devoutly
serves Him shall endure.
Moreover, it seems wise to me to
encourage the greatest intimacy be-
tween fathers and their sons, to the
end that the experience of a father’s
life may be most effectively imparted
to his sons.
«I therefore set aside Thursday,
November 15th, 1917, as a ‘Father
and Son’ Day, having for its pur-
pose the same general function to be
observed on November 4th. On
Thursday, November 15th, I request
all fathers to unite with their sons
in a fellowship meeting to which
other sons who may have suffered
the loss of Father, shall be invited to
participate, and that the meeting be
made an occasion for the creation
of such an intimacy between fathers
and sons, to the end that the re-
ligious and the moral sentiments of
one generation may be transmitted
unimpaired and enlarged to the gen-
eration that is to be.”
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the State, at the City
of Harrisburg, this thirty-first day of
July in the year of our Lord, one
thousand, nine hundred and seven-
teen, and of the Commonwealth the
one hundred and forty-first.
By the Governor
MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGH.

Secretary of the Commonwealth.

HOME HEALTH CLUB
TABLE MANNERS: I see a look
of astonishment on some of your
faces as you exclaim, “Now, how in
the world is Dr. Reeder going to
connect our table manners with our
health,” and I answer, “Easy.”
My little boys are very patriotic,
they are “doing their bit” this sum-
mer by keeping the table well sup-
plied with all kinds of fresh vege-
tables and plenty of chickens. They
have two acres of garden and it has
kept them quite busy. They remem-
bered a little boy back here in the
city who had told them once that he
had never been in the country in his
life, although he is ten years old.
His father, an Englishman was em-
ployed as a baker but he had en-
listed and gone to Canada for trans-
portation to Europe where he would
do all he could for democracy. One
day the boys asked their mother if
they couldn’t send for the little fel-
low and give him a week at least of
real country life with apples right off
the trees and good, clean food right
from the garden.
Of course, he was sent for and the
wonder and delight expressed by the
little fellow more than repaid them,
but when he came to the table they
were simply dumbfounded. They
have been carefully taught how to
eat properly, to chew their food well
and to not drink when food is in
the mouth that the natural secretions
of the mouth should be well mixed
with the food in order to digest it
and make them grow.
Of course they are active, normal,
hearty boys and many times the re-
straints imposed by proper table
manners has seemed to them a pun-
ishment and they could not fully un-
derstand the purpose of it all, but
when they saw the little stranger
rush frantically to the table and
without waiting for Grace or for
others to be seated, grab two slices
of bread and spread them quickly
with butter and begin to eat, they
first looked with startled eyes at
their mother and then at one an-
other, then boylike they broke into
uprorious, convulsive laughter. The
little stranger was too deeply ab-
sorbed to notice it and for fear of
hurting his feelings they at once pre-
tended to have discovered a huge
joke that was unrelated to his ac-
tions of various foods. He watched
her and when she was about to put
certain things on his plate would call
out sharply “I don’t like that,” or
“I don’t want that, give me more of
that.” It was a big task for the first
few meals to keep order at the table,
but gradually the little fellow found
it was not necessary to eat so fast in
order to get his share, the food was
plentiful and wholesome but it took
much patience and careful admoni-
tion to induce him to chew and get
a real taste of it. He was greatly
surprised to find that some of the
things he formerly would not eat,
had a delightful taste and were good.
I have seldom seen a change take
place so rapidly in a human being.
His parents had, we learned, always
served plenty of food but only a
limited time was allowed for eating.
Like many men and boys I have
known there was a boast that a
hearty meal could be eaten in a few
moments, why waste time at the
table?
The boy’s face had that old,
pinched, starved look that is so
often seen in children that are not
well nourished but within the week
the roses began to appear on his
cheeks and his boyish laugh was as
hearty and wholesome as that of my
own boys. Children learn quickly
and he was bright so it did not take
him long to learn at least a few of
the most important table manners
and the result. will be helpful all
through his life.

IT JOY BULLETIN, MC
FOUR WEEKS
IN HOSPITAL
No Relief—Mrs. Brgwn Fine
ally Cured by Lgdia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compousd.
Cleveland, Ohio.— * For years I suf-
fered so sometimes if seemed as though
I could not stand
it any longer. It
1 was all in my lower
||] organs. At times I
1)! could hardly walk,
# [|| forif I steppedona
HE stone I would
|{ alinoot faint. One
i day 1 did faint and
~|my husband was
#| sent for and the doc-
BE | tor came, 1 was ta-
wy a ee ken to the hospital
and stayed four weeks but when I came
home I would faint just the same and
bad thesame pains.
A friend who is a nurse asked me to
try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound. I began taking it that very day
for I was suffering a great deal. Ithas
already done me more good than the
hospital. To anyone who is suffering
as I was my advice is to stop in the first
drjig-store and get a bottle of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound before
you go home.’’ — Mrs. W. C. BROWN,

SACRED NOTE
GETS INTO PRINT
Letter Alleged to Have Been Written
by Christ; Threats and Prom-
ises to People
Country papers throughout the
United States are printing what is
alleged to be a letter written by
Christ.
In this letter was an injunction
that it should be published to the
world by whoever found it, to-
gether with the statement that mis-
fortune and bad luck would follow
the person having possession of it in
the event that it was not given
publicity.
There was likewise a promise that
whoever may have a copy of this in
his or her possession will prosper and
be followed by good fortune.
According to the history of the
letter it was written by Christ just
after his crucifixion, signed by the
Angel Gabriel 99 years after the
Saviour’s birth and presumably de-
posited by him under a stone at the
foot of the cross.
On the stone appeared the legend,
“Blessed is he who shall turn me
over.”
No one knew what the inscription
meant, or seemed to have sufficient
curiosity to investigate, until the
stone was turned over by a little
child, and the letter which follows
was discovered:
“Whosoever works on the Sabbath
day shall be cursed. I command you
to go to church and keep holy the
Lord’s day, without any manner of
work. You shall not idle or mis-
spend your time in bedecking your-
self in superfluities of costly apparel
and vain dressing for I have or-
dered it a day of rest. 1 will have
that day kept holy that your sins
may be forgiven you.
“you will not break my command-
ments, but observe and keep them,
they being written by my hand and
spoken from my mouth. You shall
not only go to church yourselves,
but also your man servant and maid
servant. Observe my words and
learn my commandments.
“You shall finish your work every
Saturday at 6 o’clock in the after-
noon, at which hour the preparation
for the Sabbath begins. I advise you
to fast five days in the year, begin-
ning on Good Friday and continuing
the five days following, in remem-
brance of the five bloody wounds I
received for you and mankind.
“You shall love one another and
cause them that are not baptized to
come to church and receive the Holy
Sacrament, that is to say baptism,
and then the supper of the Lord,
and be made a’ member thereof and
in so doing I will give you long life
and many blessings. Your land shall
be replenished and bring forth abun-
dance and I will comfort you in the
greatest temptation and surely he
that doeth to the contrary shall be
cursed.
«T will also send hardness of the
heart on them and especially on
hardened and unpenitent unbelievers.
He that hath given to the poor shall
find it profitable. Remember to keep
the Sabbath day, for the seventh day
I have taken as a resting day to my-
self.
“And he that hath a copy of this
letter written by my own hand and
spoken by my own mouth and keep-
eth it without publishing it to others,
shall not prosper, but he that pub-
lisheth it to others shall be blessed
by me and if their sins be as many
as stars by night, and if they truly
believe they shall be pardoned and
they that believe not this writing and
my commandments will have my
plagues upon you and you will be
consumed with your children, goods
and cattle and all other worldly en-
joyments that I have given you. Do
but once think of what I have suf-
fered for you. If you do, it will be
well for you in this world and in the
world which is to come.
“Whosoever shall have a copy of
this letter and keep it in their house,
nothing shall hurt them, neither
pestilence, thunder nor lightning, and
if any woman be in birth and put
her trust in me she shall be de-
livered of her child. You shall hear
no more news of me except through
the Holy Scriptures, until the day of
judgment. All goodness and pros-
perity shall be in the house where a
copy of this letter shall be found.
Finished.”
The story goes that the little child
who found it passed it to one who
became a convert to the Christian
faith. He failed to have the letter
published. He kept it, however, as
a sacred memento of Christ and it
passed down to different generations
of his family for more than 1,000
years.
During this period the family suf-
fered repeated misfortunes, migrated
to different countries until finally
one of them came to America, bring-
ing the letter with them. They
settled in Virginia, then moved
farther south, still followed by mis-
fortune when finally the last mem-
ber, a daughter, approached her
death bed and called a neighbor, Mrs.
Thompson, giving her the letter and
related its history fof more than
1,000 years.

The Thompson womf$n began the

to
appeared "
bune on October 3
then appeared in the 1
Citizen and Mrs. Wo ye
living in Marion, Ind., clipped it and
kept it in her possession for many
years without an effort to have it
published. She was followed by mis-
fortune which she attributed to her
neglect in trying to have the letter
published.
Recently the letter was published
in the Toledo Blade.
Mus. Ruby Crutchfield, of Treza-
vant, Tenn., is also said to have had
a copy and failed to make an effort
to have it published for three years
and was followed by a varied lot of
misfortunes which she attributed to
the fact of her neglect in this re-
spect.
