II we are to be convinced by the re-
cent statement issued BY branch of
the Young Mems Christian association
the United States has citizen army
in training of which even the heads OF
the war department have been in ig-
norance. The statement says that the
war in Europe has been responsible
for many business men who have no
particular interest in fighting studying
personal preparedness and physical fit
1ess. The result, the report continues,
lis that in the event of necessity prob
ably a greater proportion of men in
the higher walks in life would be
found fit to respond to the colors than
at any time since the Spanish-Ameri
can war, and singularly the war 5000
to 1000 miles away is responsible.
However, 1t is not due to the fear of
any nation or nations, but foe with
In general debility. Business men in
most sections are working under high
pressure. Among those who are pros
pering because of the war an immense
enthusiasm drives them to greater eff
fort. Those who do not contribute to
the war supplies or have a part in the
financial high tide encounter competi-
ton which keeps them on the jump
Thus we have two reasons diamctrical-
ly opposite which operate to break
down men under present conditions
Thousands of these men driven to the
physical limit have found that the
only relaxation is through definite and
systematic physical exercise which
keeps them in condition to attend to
business" We therefore become aware
that our reserve army is not the
bakers dozen that Representative
Gardner once tried to show, but the
best blood of the nation, which is ever
preparing to be ready for every posi-
bility.

recent killing of number Of
Americans by Mexican bandits has
naturally stirred this country to the
core. The Carranza government must
stand or fall according to its ability to
maintain order. Every now and then
the curtain is lifted on Mexican affairs,
and terrible condition of affairs is
revealed.
But the other day Luis Terrazas, Jr.,
escaped from captivity in Mexico, told
an awful story of his torturcs at the
hands of Villas followers. He has
joined his father. who, an exile from
Mexico, is living at Ell Paso, Tex. The
elder Terrazas was computed the rich
est man in Mexico. AS he was the
largest landholder in Mexico, he typi
fed the conditions which brought about
the Madero revolution.
The younger Terrazas remained in
chihuahua after his father and most
of the family had sought safety in the
United States. He was arrested and
thrown into prison by Villas guards.
Villa demanded ransom of 100000
for the release of the younger Terra
zas, which the father agreed to pay
and placed money and securities in the
Ell Paso bank to cover the amount of
the demand But Villa demanded cash
payment into his own hands. This the
elder Terrazas refused until such time

An index to the prosperity of the
country can usually be arrived at by
comparison of the postal receipts. The
report of Postmaster General Burle-
son shows that as against receipts OF
S11.OOO,OOO for November, 1914 the re-
turns for the same month of 1915 were
$13,340, $50. This is an increase OF
13.43 per cent The normal increase
is about I per cent. but November,
1914, showed decrease of over 6 per
cent as result of the business dc.
preston then. Compare the present
with normal year and we find that
the country is enjoying greater pros
perity than ever before. Will it con
tinue after the war? Preparedness
now along the right lines in steadying
the business of the country against the
sudden shock which may come with
the cessation of hostilities abroad will
do much toward keeping the "boom"

feated by this riot What about it,
friend Paul? Forgetting those things
which are behind I press"
Driven out Of one city, these mis-
sionaries deemed the fact but an invi-
tation to some other place. Every door
shut behind their backs set them to
seeking the one that was sure to be
opened before their face. A riot was
merely the eagle stirring up the nest,
to incite flight. So, mobbed out of
Thessalonica, they made their way to
Berea.
Cities have characters, even as
people have. No cosmopolitan person
is unaware of this fact. There Is
nothing strange in the record that
Berea was an open-minded city, toler-
ant, thoughtful and of an investigating
turn of mind. They were receptive to
the new teachings The marks of the
modern scientific and scholastic spirit
were strong upon the Bereans. They
searched the Scriptures for them
selves.
Most of ustake our Bible secondhand
We get it diluted and interpreted and
eVpounded from the pulpit and from
the printed page. Sage saints and
sturdy do otherwise. They follow the
Rerean method and investigate the
Bible for themselves. 1 would rather
have ten Bible readers in a church
than fifty mere Bible hearers The
glory of this Book is that it yields its
choicest fruits to first-hand study. The
humblest saint may get more from it
himself than the most eloquent
preacher can teach him. There is no
expositor of Scripture that can equal
reverent, personal perusal of the sa-
cred pages.
When the emissaries of trouble
reached Berea they found converts
among them many noble women
grounded unshakably in the faith. The
apostles could leave the city with
serene minds. The infant Berean
Church was pillared in the Book.

TO TAKE OFF FLESH
AND REDUCE WEIGHT
Eat Plenty of Wholesome Food But Breathe Deeply and
Try Little Oil of Korein With Meals

produces no weakening effects. In fact
there are those who have tried it who
say 1t almost seemed that they gained
in strength with every pound of excess
fat they lost.
The use of oil of korein is intended
to eliminate the need of weakening pur-
gatives, sweating processes, dangerous
drugs, starvation diets or the various
forms of violent exercises which so
many use in a vain effort to reduce
flesh. Instead, oil OF .sorein operates
in natural and wholly harmless way
to gently reduce the excessive accumu-
lations of fat wherever thew exist on
your body while the oxygen you are
breathing into your system from the
pure out door air not only helps the
action of the Korein but is helpful in
preventing a return of the unnatural
fat
1t is a good plan to weigh yourself
once a week so as to keep close check
on what weight you are losing and do
not skip a single dose until your weight
is down to normal. Any dr. lgist can
supply you with these capsule s.-Ad-
vertisement.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-06-30

Some people seem to be able to eat
whatever they please without its in
creasing their weight TO any degree,
while on the other hand other folks, in
clined to stoutness, try to eat lightly
OF the so-called fieshmaking foods but
keep gaining weight all the time. Such
condition is both unnatural and dan
gerous but can often be quickly over
come by practicing deep breathing in
the open air The blood of the average
overstout person seemingly fails to ac-
cept enough oxygen to consume the ex-
Cessive fatty material in the food. But
frequent open air deep breathing forces
additional oxygen into the system,
largely overcoming this defect and pre-
venting further increase in weight.
Then if this deep breathing plan is ac-
companied by the use of a little oil of
korein, taking a few drops in capsule
with each meal and again before going
to bed, 1t becomes possible to greatly
reduce the weight even in a very few
days
The best feature of this reducing
method is that 1t is absolutely safe and
unlike so many flesh reducing systems.

are to be remedied by the preached
and practised gospel of Christ The
most revolutionary reformer on this
oattle-scarred earth to-day is the
preacher of the word of God. His
function is nothing less than to cause
the race to right about face"
A little human touch. of the sort
that abounds in Paul's stormy expert
ences, enters the story right here. A
cleverly engineered riot sought the life
of the foreigners. They ran them
down to the house of one Jason, which
however, and only Jason and a few of
the new disciples remained. Upon
these they vented their wrath, taking
them before the magistrates and
charging them with all the offenses of
the missionaries. Jason willingly suf-
fered arrest and stood trial and finally
was let out on bail.
Here was man who suffered for
his friend. He fulfilled the highest
office of friendship-loyalty when his
friend was having hard times. He
counted 1t a prize to be permitted to
lear hardness for his friends sake. "A
friend loveth at all times" 1t was an
honor to Jason that he could bear
some of the blows designed for the
man who had introduced him to
Christ. What matter If he did suffer
l,nJustly: that made loves sacrifice the
sweeter. In these days of political
turmoil, when we see crowds forsak-
ing old leaders for the sake of personal
advantage, and giving their brief
loyalty where their advantage lies, it is
good to have The heart-rending story
Of Jason, who even welcomed suffering
for the sake of friend whose escape
he thus aided. What says the Word?
Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his
friend" Paul and Christ evoke that
kind of loyalty. We have not forgotten
Armenia. true to the death.
The City of the Open Mind
Trouble is chariot it either runs
over you and crushes you, or else II
carries you on in royal progress"
With the echoes of that bowling Thes-
salonica mob in their ears surely Paul
and Silas would have been warranted
In lying low for a while Seclusion
and rest were surely now their right.
They had done a great deed: why
rhould they not sit safe somewhere
