GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY
Do You Believe in God? Then Out
WardIy Manifest 1t by Going
to Church.

tbs not enough for one to say that he lives a righteous
life and that he believes in a Supreme Being. He must
= give OUTWARD MANIFESTATION of that belief.
There's only one way that a man can give OUTWARD MAN
HESITATION of his belief in and love of God, and that is by
GOING TO CHURCH. The church is the home of God. He
reigns there. On great feast days like Easter, ~Thanksgiv-
ing, Christmas and New Years the churches are filled to
overlooking People GO TO CHURCH to honor God and
thank hin for his blessings. Don't wait for these feast
days to GO TO CHURCH and then stay away from church
for the remainder of the year. EVERY SUNDAY is a feast
day of the church.
AS a result of the country wide go to church movement
there has been a splendid increased attendance in the
churches But there are many who have been deaf to the
call. II you are one of these, make up your mind to go to
church next Sunday. Tell your wife of your resolution, and
note the pleased look on her face. Tell your children, and
it will make an impression on them for life. A parent can
ill afford to ask his children to go to church and remain a.
way from divine service himself.
Going to church DOESN'T REQUIRE N GREAT SAC
RIFlCE. The services are at a seasonable hour. They are
not long. You surely MEET H RIGHT / N OF PEG
PIE there. The sermons invariably are INSTRUCTIVE
n UPLIFTING. Try going to church next Sunday. See
if you don't feel better for it. 1t will help you to overcome
the Temptations of the world. You'll hesitate before you do
a wrong act. Sin brings its punishment; righteousness its
reward. If you want to earn the reward of Righteousness
and avoid the punishment of sin, be a regular church at
tendant.
START NEXT SUNDAY TO BE A CONSISTENT
CHURCH-GOER.

public welfare Governor Lowden had
granted to Will Carter, sentenced to
hang for the murder Of Peter Jelyek in

The reprieve was ordered after an

governor as he was going to Spring

ARMY HEADS SET
UP LIQUOR ZONES
Bootlegging and Saloon Violations in Philadelphia Force
Military Authorities to Ensure Sobriety of Soldiers and
Arsenal Workers

Philadelphia, Aug. 13. - A dry
zone within a radius of half
mile of the Frankford arsenal was
declared last night by the depart
ment of justice. This action was
taken by government officials fol-
lowing complaint by Colonel
Samuel Hoff. commandant of the ar
senal.
Those affected by the new order
are given a period of ten days in
which to arrange their affairs pre-
paratory to closing up shop.
United States District ATTORNEY
Kane last night said This action be-
came necessary because the law re-
quires that dry zone be establish
ed in any vicinity where at least
ESQ men are mobilized for Army
training.
Announcement was also made that
similar zones would be established
in any part of the city where the
law is being violated. Mr.. Kane as
serted that his office would make a
survey of armories and other places
in the city where groups of soldiers
are mobilized wherever a group of
ESQ. or more men are assembled for
training.
The districts most likely to be af
fected are those surrounding the
First Regiment Armory, Broad and
Callowhill streets, Second Regiment
Armory, Broad street and Susoue-
hanna avenue: Third Regiment
Armory, Broad and Federal streets,

and the University of Pennsylvania.
The following letter was sent yes
terday from the office of United
States district attorney to thirty five
saloon keepers in the Frankford sec
ton. This number. however, is
merely tentative and is likely to be
greatly augmented after more
thorough enumerating of saloons in
the half-mile district.
I'VE hereby give you notice that
under the regulations issued by
President Wilson on June 81, 1918,
dry zone is established, extending
from the boundaries of the Frank
ford arsenal.
Under instructions of the depart
ment of justice we hereby give you
notice that your saloon must be clos
ed and business suspended"
Mr.. Kane yesterday informed
every retail liquor dealer in the city
that he. had learned that both mem
bers and non-members of the Retail
Liquor Dealers Association are not
complying with the regulation
adopted by the association, prevent
ing the sale of spirituous liquors
to be removed from the premises
of any retail licensed saloon at any
hour of day or night. He called
attention to the fact that this regu-
lation has had considerable effect to
prevent bootlegging and urged all
liquor dealers to assist the govern
ment in protecting the morale of the
men in the service.

Reed Urges Extension
Immediate extension Of the draft
ages to include all men between eigh-
teen and forty-five so that an ''ir-
resistible force" can be sent to Europe
to shorten the war. was urged by
Senator Reed at the semiweekly ses-
sion OF Ine senate.
Senator Reed warned against over
confidence on the Allies part and de-
clared that now this country is in
the war it will have to fight to a
finish. He asserted that even with
our presence there is a very serious
question whether the Central Powers
will not have more men there or can
put them there than the Allies
Interrupting the Missouri Senator,
Senator Chamberlain quoted a French
authority as saying that this year
Germany can mobilize 2S.000.000 men
compared to 20,000.O00 for the Allies.
Senator Reed said If disaster should
occur there would be no means of
getting the American forces home,.
and for that reason this country must
fight to the end.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, urged that
Congress should be reassembied with
out delay to act on the manpower
bill. With a big battle raging on
the west front and the United states
making every effort to expedite the
movement of men to Europe Sena-
tor Borah declared. "the only body
that can enlarge this force is in re-
cess"

APPEALS FOR VOLUNTEERS
FOR RED CROSS SERVICE
Advantages Offered to High School Graduates and others
Who Will Help in Hospitals Is Pointed Out

to locate each one in her own state
and as near home as possible. The
student who is assigned to an army
hospital, which means base hospital,
at first may have the more exciting
life, as she will be nursing the heroes
but the civilian nurse will be gettlng
necessary and useful knowledge that
will fit her for any kind of work.
Three-Yea Course
This training school course takes
three years, and the girl is then a
.full-fedged Red Cross nurse with
u. S. Army registration. Every girl
who volunteers now to enter tram
ing school is indirectly helping Uncle
Sam and taking care of soldiers. Her
salary is not large, but enables her
to live. and when the training is COM
pleted she has a substantial pro1es-
sion which is going to be in vast de-
mand after the war.
Nursing is a profession that needs
intelligence" said Miss Scott, anu
that is why we are concentrating
upon High school girls. Here are
thousands of fine, accomplished girls
who have nothing in particular to do,
and who will find this training the
best thing ever proposed to them,
The profession is wonderful for de-
veloping powers of observation; Tor
assuming responsibilities. 1t broad
ems ones outlook; teaches human
nature in intimate fashion; teaches
one to know the various types; de-
velops a sense of orderliness, quick
ness of thought and resolute action y
Excellent Future
The prospect for a girl who goes
into student nursing and thus rem
dering untold assistance to the ma
ton, is bright enough, according 10
Miss Scott After the war" she
pointed out, there will be immense
reconstruction plants where we
must help bring our brave soldiers
back to normal condition. Public
health activities; industrial nursing;
public schools-myriad enterprises
will need this skilled woman, and
she will have a lucrative occupa-
ton"
The only expense to the student is
in connection with the personal life
of the individual, as the cost of main
tenance, tuition; uniforms and text
books is borne by the hosrital.

Miss Frances Scott to-day made
fervent appeal for response from the
High school girl graduates of Har-
riSburg to answer the urgent call 10
colors for student nurses, thus re-
viving the drive which officially
closed August IL, but which is now
to be continued with even more IN
tensity for another week. The fact
is that Harrisburg failed to measure
up to its former heroic standards ana
whereas 40 is the quota required,
only 10 have as yet enrolled. The last
two were Vera Stuard, 1924 F1tth
street, and Margaret Bricker, l9oo
North Seventh street.
Miss Scott is superintendent OF the
training school at Harrisburg Hos
pital, a woman of vision ana EN-
cheney, with long experience at the
PRESBYTERIAN Hospital in New York.
Co-operating with the Red Cross she
has been most active in trying to
meet the urgent request of the Red
Cross and the Council of National
Defense to enroll student nurses IN
both army and civilian hospitals, In
order to make up for the shortage or
thousands of graduate nurses who
must do service in military hospitals.

work because it requires intelli-
genee," spoke Miss Scott to-day at
the hospital. TT has been somewhat
disappointing that Harrisburg. has
not accept the offer more generally,
and it is possible that many girls do
not understand the requirements and
conditions One thing l would like to
emphasize is that the work does not
mean drudgery as some appear 10
think. OF course, there is plenty or
hard work, for a nurse must learn to
clean, but it is not drudgery.'
Speaking of the qualifications to
join she pointed out that for a strictly
army training school, the pupil must
be 81 years old and a High school
graduate. But for a civilian training
school the minimum age is 19 and a
full course at High school is not in
sisted upon.
The first step is to enroll at the
hospital and sign up with Uncle
Sam, then the volunteer waits until
called, and the officials are inclined

ITCHING ECZEMA
Drove HIM CRAZY
p. R. r. Machinist Tried Remedy
After Remedy i'm Vain Search
For Relief

eff there ever was a wonderful
remedy it is Tanlac." says George C.
Smith, of 1947 North street, Harris
burg, Pa.
II had a sort of eczema all over
my face and body and itsitched so
that it almost drove me crazy and
/ couldn't find anything that gave
me the slightest relief.
Then one day I decided I'd take
a crack at Tanlac and see what that
would do for I'd heard lot of won
derful reports about it and I sort of
had a hunch.
well. sir, believe me it did the
work. The second dose brought re-
lief and it was only a matter of
days until my skin was all healed
up, the itching stopped and the &C.
zema gone entirely.
mo other medicine could ever
give me relief from the itching but
Tanlac quickly freed me from the
whole trouble I can't begin to
praise it strong enough"
Tanlac is now being introduced at
Gorgas' Drug Store.
