12 REAL ESTATE ISSUE PERMIT FOR ERECTION OF NEW STORE Proposed Market Street Busi ness Place to Cost Ready October 1 llarrisburg's newest department I store will be ready for occupancy by October 1 unless the weather man or some untoward conditions should com bine to upset the calculations of Harry Salkin, the proprietor. The permit for the construction of the new structure was taken out to day and' called for a four-story mod ern, fireproof, up-to-date structure at : 50 Market street at a cost of $15,000 The actual cost of the building will j probably amount to $30,000. Mr. Salkin operates a string of j stores, although his big place of busi- ! ness just now is at Saxton, Pa. Hisi plans call for the erection of a de- l partmem store in this city that will compare favorably with modern struc tures of the kind throughout the coun ty. The name is still in question, al though it is not unlikely that the new place of business will be known as •'Salkin's Subway Store." The building will be erected by Her man Tausig's Sons, the jewelers, and will have a frontage of 27 feet and a depth of 150 feet. The razing of the j present building will begin about April j I and Mr. Salkin's contract with Tau- j sig's calls for occupancy by October 1. i The Tausig-Salkin permit boosted I to-day's building operations to $36,500. 1 In addition to tlie Tauslg permit J. j E. Gipple took put a permit to build I eight 2 l ;-story brick dwellings, from 1923 to 1937 Chestnut street, at a cost ' of SIB,OOO. while the John H. Weiss i state obtained permission to remodel four houses. 101-107 South street, to] the extent of $3,500. TO-BAV'S REALTY TRANSFERS To-day's realty transfers included j the following: C. L.

Differ as to Status of Forestry Bureau; H. J. Mueller Resigns Difference of opinion between V. Orant Forrer, the new working ne.ul of the park department, and Harry J. Mueller, city forester, as to the status ot the forestry bureau and the park | ami playgrounds branch of the city' government, has precipitated the resig'- I nation of Mueller. The forester's resignation it is un- j derstood becomes effective Wedncs- j day, March 15, and E. Z. Gross, com- j missioner of parks and public prop- ! i erty will probably make known this i fact to Council to-morrow. Mueller was appointed by ex-Com missioner M. Harvey Taylor less than a year ago when the office of city for estry was created as a part of the park department. With the appointment by Commissioner Gross of Mr. Forrer , as assistant superintendent and work i ing executive, the question of whether or not the forestry bureau was a part • of the park office was raised by Muel ■ Ter. Mr. Forrer contended that the office of commissioner of parks and public property was the head of the department absolutely, that the for ester's bureau was only a part of it . and that the forester is subject to the I park commissioner's jurisdiction. Mr. - Mueller took the position that the : forestry bureau is a separate and dis j tinct ollice. Mr. Gross' views coin cided with Mr. Ferrer's, and Mr. Muel ler's resignation was asked for. Xo successor to Mueller has been selected as yet. [ No More Holy Wars Among Moslems Says Big Mission Leader The congregation of Market Square j Presbyterian Church listened atten- j lively yesterday morning to a most j illuminating talk on war conditions: j and the spiritual attitude taken bv the ' (warring nations by George Innes, of | Philadelphia, who ga*e up his big banking and lumber business in order to consecrate his life to the service of' ! humanity in foreign tields. He dwelt particularly on the Turks and the difficult which has been met In attempts to Christianize thein. or at least bring them to a realization that there is a God. "The month of Octo ber, 1314." he said, "was expected by the many millions of Moslems to be a day on which they should ugain start j out and this time surely encircle the ; world us conquerors with a band of steel. This gehat,' or holy war, which they fel' they were waging, failed mis | erably within three days after the I pfowerful armies had started forth, for ! in that time per cent, of the ntirn j her hid deserted." This, he declared, | was proof that the presence of Chris | tian missionaries among the Moslems. | while it had converted none, had at j least prevented the powerful coalition ' I of fervent Mohammedans and had made impossible any future holy wars.

McCann.) == CHAITKU »t Tlie difference between "digestibil it> '* is used an argument to frighten tin- public awn> front the most nat iiral, essential ami agreeable of food reforms. As to the bran sifted out <>f the wheat meal in the preparation of tine, , J white flour some millers say that the silicon which the bran contains is practically "ground glass." They can- ( tion humanity, therefore, against any attempt to eat "ground glass," basing their warning upon the idea that when bran enters the body *is a food it must necessarily be eliminated in a ' sand-papery condition that scours and scratches iis victim unto death. It would be quite as logical for them to declare that because whole wheat contains iron in an easily assimilable form, therefore, such iron should be removed in order to protect the body from an attack of tacks and nails. They could say with equal grace i that because whole wheat contains; calcium in an assimilable form the calcium should be removed lest in sonic whitewashing or plastering fash- I ion it should stiffen up the walls of the intestines with a fortification of j cement. Applying their philosophy, they might well declare that because whole wheat contains magnesium the mag nesium should be removed for fear ilie whole wlieat-eater might clog up 1 his digestive apparatus with an aectt- ( puliation of tool*ease or face powder. ! They could say that because whole I wheat contains phosphorous in many complex forms, such as the nucleo- I proteins the lecithins and the simpler phosphates, such phosphorous com- i pounds should be removed in order ! that the stomaeli might not be con- | verted into a match factory. They could conveniently add to their : arguments against whole wheat that because it contains fluorides such | fluorides should be removed so that | the liver might not be etched like a : I frosted windowpane or destroyed by ' | an attack of "rough on rats." There are many prejudices to over come before whole wheat bread, whole wheat cakes, whole wheat biscuits, whole wheat muffins, whole wheat waffles and other whole wheat bread stuffs. with all their wealth of vitality, can be restored to the people. The : "ground slass" idea will probably - meet with the sympathy of many ' doomed souls who love their sickly loaf. . Some of the millers no further than the "ground glass'' warning in their attempt to defend white flour. They actually declare that the bran of wheat is a powerful irritant and. therefore, people not in normal health cannot use it without injury. They say that whereas bran in whole wheat might be advantageous In st>e- j cial cases—an admission suggested by 1 the recent appearance on the market of numerous brands of bran—it is an ! undesirable element in bread because , it Is "indigestible." Paper is "Indigestible." so is nut- 5 meg, cinnamon. ginger, mustard, i mace, allspice, cloves. The fiber of orange, pineapple, celery, string beans, asparagus, canteloupe, is "indigest ible. The seeds of strawberries, rasp berries, tigs, grapes are "Indigestible." just as the bran of wheat is "indigest- | Ible" and for the same reason, if the ! word "indigestible" is assumed to mean that in their journey through the body none of these substances is taken up by the body and transformed into tissue. None of such substances is actually | indigestible. In its course through I the body the bran surrenders its solu | ble extractives which are taken up bv i the tissues and the residue which re j mains behind is a water absorber. As | such it performs a most important and I necessary function in the intestines—• ! a function which will be fully de : scribed later on. Every time we eat a roasted or [ THE REV. F. A.

What Ten Years Has Done "Ten years ago I went to the Philip- ; pines as a missionary. 1 met with j some Britishers and when they learned what I intended to do they told me that my work would be useless, that ! they themselves had wflrked there and i that the Spanish had worked there for 300 years, but let me say now that in i the seventeen years that the islands! have been under the guidance of the United States the natives who speak < good English and good Spanish are I about evenly divided." Mr. Pace told of the accomplish- I ments in the Philippines and men- ! tioned the establishment of a stable government, the development of com merce and the civilizing of the na- 1 | fives and mentioned also the great ! work of the United States in clearing up epidemics of Asiatic cholera. Head i hunters ape now playing tug-o'-war, j lie said, and they believe it. is the! greatest thing in the world. Itascball Fans, Too "< in the islands, too," said Mr. Pace, ! "you will lind baseball and ice cream, two things distinctly American. They ; are learning the English language | rapidly, for in what other language \ j could baseball be played? In what! | other language could you find slang ' I phrases to li{ every part of the game? j "And now foi a little of my own | | history. Ten years ago I was working |on a Chicago newspaper. 1 was a! j cartoonist there and 1 believed that 1 j could unseat presidents and congress- ; I men. I was deep in politics, but finally, j as tlie.v say, 1 got religion, lost interest i in polities and heneewith my job. Rut ! I still could draw. Sonic time later 1 j found myself on the Minnesota, one of the largest Pacific liners touching the Philippines. 1 amused myself on the trip drawing pictures. On board that same vessel was the captain of one of the American warships. lie was! dressed in civilian clothes, but it did 1 not lake long for the other passengers ! to know he was there because his wift ! was along nnd she told every person. I t When she saw me drawing pictures boiled ear of corn we eat the bran. ' Every time we eat Boston baked beans! or fresh peas we eat the bran of these | legumes. It is well indeed that we eat these things because, while they are not digested in themselves in the sense of being taken up and oxidised in the production ot" heat or energy, they nevertheless contribute to the body the soluble salts and colloids i which they contain and without which energy-producing foods are useless to the living body. I.et us take an animal membrane j such as a bladder and till it with a solution of any of the food niinernls and hang it on a nail against the wall. It will hang there for days, weeks, or months, and there will be no leakage of its contents through the skin. Not a drop will ooze through j the membrane to appear on the out side. We see thai It guards its con tents as faithfully as would a glass , j bottle properly corked. If we now take the tilled bladder' and immerse it in a, tub containing! another solution of different density a remarkable phenomenon will be ob served. The contents of the bladder , ■ will begin to pass out through the ] membrane into the solution on the i j outside, and the solution on the out side will begin to pass through the I membrane to the inside, so that I eventually the solution on the outside and the solution on the inside will be I Identical in character. The dissimilar liquids will be thor | oughly diffused. The process by which this diffusion is brought about is called osmosis, osmosis is going on in the j body all the time. We recreate and thus change the mineral constituency of the internal secretions every time we eat. We thereby continue to change the char- | acter and density of the fluids in ! which the cells are bathed. Thus do | the cells obtain their nutriment. As long as life continues osmosis does not cease. Protoplasm derives its nutrl- i i ment through this process of osmosis. | In fevers or wasting diseases aecom- | panied by extreme exhaustion as the result of Inability to consume food, or | in cases of starvation, the fluids inside the cells gradually become identical in specific gravity with the fluids in which they are bathed so that osmosis 1 becomes very feeble. When it ceases altogether death ensues. The minerals which nature has put into wheat and man so deliberately removes from his diet are lost to ail his needs and the vitalizing mission I which they are designed to perform I , naturally and benevolently are not i performed at all. Just as chopped meat surrenders its ! mineral salts to the water in which ' it is immersed so also does the bran ! of the wheat surrender its minerals to the internal secretions of the body s ! in the same way. tint bran not only furnishes indls pensable mineral salts to the body. ! It also acts as a regulator of the peris- ! ; taltic action of the alimentary tract , by which the contents of the intestines j ! are kept moving onward and down -1 ward. One of the curses which white bread imposes upon humanity is constipa tion. A thousand ills are traceable to 1 this disorder. Patent medicines by the hundreds have been marketed in order jto help pill-consumers bridge over the misery which their white bread inflicts upon them. Constipation is the malevolent origin of the woes of many American women who. through the congestion set up bv inhibited peristalsis, are afflicted with uterine and ovarian diseases that make their lives miserable. Constipation is not the trifling dis order which the public foolishly be lieves it to be. We are about fo see how grave it really is and to what | extent it undermines the health and vitality of America. A proper under- i standing of the significance of consti- ! pation will do much to .destroy the I white bread superstition. she asked me if I would make a draw- ; ing of her husband. I consented, and then our conversation began to run along other lines. She asked me where I was going and when I told her 1 was a missionary to the Philippines I am sure that a target In midocean never i got a greater fusillade of 13-inch pro- i I iectiles from her husband's battleship I i ban I got from her. She assailed me ! for going and burying myself in such . a country when i had such talents. I ; Often since then i have thought, when j my house was surrounded and stoned, . 'ls is worth while to bury yourself here?' but now when I look back over ; the Held and see .that 1 have helped j to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ among those people 1 say 'Jt is worth j while'." Mr. Pace's was one of the most 1 forceful and gripping talks eveV heard j at a missionary conference and a burst of applause greeted him when he had I concluded. Talks On India The session this morning was open ed with the singing of several hymns, followed by prayers by a number of ministers. The first speaker was the j Rev. L. R. Wolf, D. D., for twenty-1 five years a missionary in India. At present he is secretary of the foreign ' missions of the general synod of the I I-utheran church. Mr. Wolf spoke of' ) the various classes in India, the I Rrahmans, the middle class and the ' ] slaves. "In India," he said, "there! are 70.000,000 Mohammedans and this ; Mohammedan religion presents to the i [ Christian world, the supreme chal- j ; lenge. Rut many of them are not! pure Mahammedans; neither are they true Persians. They have been I brought into Mohammedanism by the ! sword and they may be shaken loose by Christianity. There are between thirty and forty millions of people in i India who are not considered Hindus jby the higher classes and in a few I years 30.000,000 of these will be Chris- I tians if the church in this country: i does its part." Mr. Wolf also talked of intellectual India arid said that the country con- ! [ tains some of the brightest men in the world. These people, he con- j j tinned are among the Brahmans. Some :of these, according to the minister, ! are being converted but the majority are waiting to see what the middle | class will do. "The middle class is j • turning,' said Mr. Wolf, "and the Kralimans are seeing the hand writing on the wall." Xml Missionaries The Rev. Mr. Wolf impressed upon ! the conference the necessity for pre- i paring and sending more missionaries to India. He declared that the war has turned hundreds of missionaries from the country and that four big missions are now being cared for by [substitutes, who naturally cannot cpre for the wants of the converts as the regular missionaries who have been associated with the people did. At tending these four missions, lie said, , were 150,000 people. The Rev. D. R. Sclineder, president of North Japan College, Sendai, Japan, i was the other speaker at the morn ing session and he talked on "The Sunrise Kingdom." Mr. Schneder told of the removing of signboards barring missionaries In 1871 and how the country has progressed since then. | Christianity, he said, was given an other boost in 1876 when Sunday was made the official rest day foe the j country. The constitution, in Article 132. he declares, provides for thej religious liberty of the country.

In 1911 ! a high government official was ap-. j pointed to go to the United States.; j England, France and Germany to j study conditions. A year later in his report he said he found that at the; bottom of all that was good is the j i power of the gospel of Jesus Christ and that statement has had great j i effect on the government since. Hence. ! Japan has opened her doors even more widely to Christianity. The, whole nation is moving toward the' Christian religion. It has advanced j [much farther than it was 25 years! ago.
