Christian Science an Aid
in Business Says Bell

FRANK Bell. of this city, delivered
a lecture on Christian Science yester-
day afternoon to a large and apprecia-
tive audience in the Orpheum theater.
The speaker was introduced by w. w,
Johnson. architect of this city. Mr..
Ben was formerly managing editor of
the Harrisburg Telegraph and has a
host of friends throughout the CITY
and State.
Mr. Bell began the lecture by speak,
ing of the prime object of Christian
science. He spoke of the results that
Christian Science has obtained in the
healing of the sick and diseased. then
he traced the astonishing growth If
has had because of the irrefutable evil
dence of countless thousands of cures
that had otherwise been given up as
hopeless. In ten years the number
of Christian Science organizations have
increased 20 per cent. and the men,
bership of the Mother Church has in
creased 116 per cent
In speaking of the value of Chris
tian Science in business, he said, in
part: I'm the business world, Chris
tan Science has been found to be not
ably helpful. A sound body and a
clear head are important assets to one
upon whom devolves the direction or
execution Of affairs of trade and in
dustry. The Christian Scientist in
business will tell you that he has rea-
son to be every day less afraid for his
business And this is because he is
learning how to think, how to discern
between the right impulse and the
wrong how to hold in check the ag-
gressive suggestions of ruthless human
will and pride and greed that would
lead to mistakes of Judgment like
wise, how to put down the enervating
arguments of timidity and self depre-
citation, amid whose mists opportunity
might pass by unobserved"

Every mother realizes, after giving

teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative" and in few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again. When the little system
is full of cold, throat sore, has stom-
ach-ache, diarrhoea, indigestion,

FALL OF NATION"
AT THE REGENT
Special Performance of Spec
tacular Production For
Invited Guests

THE Fall of a Nation."a magnificent
moving picture production by Thomas
Dixon, author of THE Birth of a Ma
ton was given it's initial showing
in Harrisburg this morning when Peter
niagara, proprietor of the Regent
theater, ran off the film at a special
performance given for newspapermen
and invited guests.
The Fall of Nation" is fully up to
everything that has been said of it
by the New York newspapers. 1t is
fresh from New York where it ran at
50 prices at the Liberty theater.
Against the desires of it's owners 1t
will be given at only a slight increase
over the regular price at the Regent.
The production tells a story that
everybody who is doubtful as to the
wisdom of preparedness on a national
scale should see. A conference of Euro
pean powers decide to seize North
America and annex it to Europe. 4
secret army of the foreign born is raised
in New York. AS the greatest city on
the North American continent has few
defenders it is easy to capture it over
night.
Meanwhile $50, 600 armed troops, fresh
from experience on the battlefields of
Europe are rapidly transported across
the Atlantic. with all their equipment
of big guns, poison gas producers,
liquid fire, bombs and and the other
horrors that have added to the fright
fulness of war in these last few months
Effecting a landing they easily over
come the small and poorly equipped
United States Army, join the foreign
foe army of New York. march to Wash
ington and depose the President. put
ting in his place an Imperial Viceroy
of the Providences of North America.
| While the location of the picture is
I in and near New York, it's momentous
lesson applies to any country or part
of this country unprepared to meet the
/ foreign foe.
At the end of the present war there
will be millions of idle troops in Eu-
rope Will some new task be set for
them? VIII covetous eyes be cast upon
the riches of the Americas? VIII some
Emperor attempt the task of subju-
/ eating North and South America? II
so will it find the nation prepared oil
ready for the fate depicted in THE
| Fall of Nation?"
The pictures are wonderful. They
are so true to life that they bring tc
the beholder all the feelings of partici.
patton in the horrors they set forth
They teach great lesson and every
/ American ought to see them-if he
| is doubtful as to what the country ought
to do about increasing it's armed
| forces.

GO. P. IN CONTROL
OF NEXT HOUSE
Have Plurality of at Least Five;
Wilson Must Conform
to Conditions

Washington, d. c., Nov. 10. - The
Republicans will control the next
House of Representatives by a
plurality of at least five. Three seats
are in doubt.
Two of the three doubtful districts
are in western Pennsylvania, now rep
and Barchfeld, whose election or de-
feat is dependent, on the soldier vote.
While Coleman has been elected and
Barchfeld defeated on the face of the
civilian vote, the vote of the Pennsyl-
vania soldiers, which will be officially
counted next Tuesday, may change
the result.
The political complexion of the next
House. according to definite official
returns is:
Republicans, 217; Democrats, 210;
Prohibitionist 1: Protectionist, /;
Progressive, ]; Independent, /; So
cialist, /; doubtful, 8.
Three of the members-elect belong
ing to the minor parties have signified
their intention of joining the Re.
publican caucus, and two of the five
will so with the Democrats.
The Political Alignment
This would make the political align
ment for organization of the House as
follows: Republicans, 22O; Demo
Gratis, 212; doubtful. 8. Even con-
sidering that the. two Pennsylvania
seats will be swept into the Demo
cratic column and that the Congress
man -at-Large in New Mexico will be
a Democrat the present majority
party can obtain no more than Els
leaving the Republicans a majority ot
five over the Democrats and theil
affiliated members.
These figures are based on oflicia
returns and figures compiled from the
| special information received by the
| Democratic and Republican Congress
committees.
With a Republican House Mr.. VIII
| sons Legislative program must con
form to the conditions that confron
him. His days of absolute control over
| Congress are over and his authorit!
probably diminished even in the mex
short session of the present Congress
| The Republicans at the Capitol, en-
couraged by the fact that they have
| carried the next House and have
materially reduced the Democratic
| majority in the Senate, will be ag
| gressive every day of the next session

7. R. vs.. BRYAN
1920 PREDICTION
Early Prophets See in Former
President Means to Line
Up Progressives

Washington, d. c.. Nov. IS. -
Theodore Roosevelt versus William
Jennings Bryan.
That is the lineup for 1920, pre-
dicted in Republican and Democratic
circles in Washington to-day.
Back of the forecast lies an inter-
esting analysis of the political causes
that led to Republican defeat and
Democratic success by narrow mar
gin last Tuesday.
Bryan followers, for instance, are
to-day claiming credit for the Com
moner or Wilson's success in the West.
Prohibitionists, likewise, are point
ing out that Wilson carried the States
that went for prohibition.
More than half the country, 1t is
argued. is now dry. Bryan is at heart
for Wilson in prohibition States and
in States that went for prohibition at
the election last Tuesday. What
should be more natural, therefor, than
that Bryan should again lead the
Democratic party in 1920 on prohi-
bition platform.
The failure of the Progressives to
stand unitedly behind Charles E.
Hughes, strangely enough, is given as
a reason why Roosevelt should be
nominated for President as head of
the Republican ticket in 1920. The
ProGressives in the East. 1t is asserted,
went through" for Hughes but the
latter lost considerable Progressive
support IN the West.
Governor Hiram Johnson, of Cali
fornia, who as candidate for Senator
from that State, undoubtedly dump
ed" Hughes is being doomed for Vice
President. Although it is plain that
the Johnson followers traded votes to
Wilson for votes for Johnson, his
friends say that he is the strongest
man who could be nominated on a
Roosevelt ticket. especially as he was
Roosevelts running mate in 1912.

firmed finally the order directing the

the suit instituted by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad to obtain possession
of a section of land upon which the
company contends the Barnhart farm
extends, the company to-day obtained
judgment on its ejectment proceed
ing. The property extends into the
old canal bed below Royalton, ac-
cording to the company's counsel.

county jury wheel for 1917 will likely

vember 27 so that the drawing for
the January term of court can be
made within the thirtv-dav limit

mission is busily preparing the tales

To Sue Hcptasophs - Suit by Mrs
Mary Amanda Benfer to recover $4,000
on an insurance beneficiary policy
from the Improved Order of Hepta-
sophs was permitted to-day by the
Dauphin county court. The action
originally had been for $4,000 but
the lodge admitted that it owed ST.
900. A jury will now decide on the
$4,000 balance.

tary Association donned the oldest
clothes they could find yesterday af-
ternoon and ventured forth into the
country in search of new military
thrills.
After several months of close order
drill in the City Grays Armory, during
which time the individual members of
the association have become increas-
ingly efficient in "bawling out orders
and, what is more to the point, obey
ing them, the open work in the coun-
try was decidedly refreshing, accord
ing to those who took the hike"
The arrival of the Krag rifles or
dered through the Harrisburg Rifle
Association to which organization the
majority of the Harrisburg Military
Association members belong, marked
last Fridays close order drill. Well
over forty members now comprise the
association, which has for its uti-
mate purpose the development of a
corps of young men trained as leaders
who would be capable of officering a
regiment or more of volunteers in time
of national danger.
The office of captain and adjutant of
this self-constituted and self-governing
body rotates monthly. Coyle Kenne-
.dy, son of Moorehead c. Kennedy

Protests Working Clerks in
Post Office Over Eight Hours

New York, Nov. 13.-In a letter to
President Wilson made public to-day,
Thomas f. Flaherty, secretary and
treasurer of the National Federation
of Post Office Clerks. entered a pro-
test against working post office clerks
more than eight hours day. The let
ter calls the attention of the Presi-
dent to the fact that a law passed by
Congress provided that clerks shall
not be required to work more than
eight hours n day within ten hours
and for working in excess of this are
to be paid overtime in proportion
to their salaries.
This law contemplated that only
in emergencies shall more than eight
hours be required" Mr.. Tlaherty said
in his letter. Yet in many of the large
post offices, notably New York, Chi
cago, Boston and Cleveland. the clerks
are forced daily and nightly to work
ten, eleven and even twelve hours.
