A CALL FOR OUR MEMBERS.
Dear Little Mother and Readers:
I wonder how many of you enjoyed
the cold spell. It certainly was cold
down here in South Georgia. The
thermometer ran as low as twenty
degrees, but we did not have any
snow.
How many of you thought of the
great number of people that had to
stay cold all during the time, for
the lack of food, clothing and shel
ter? We all ought to do all we can
to help people in such conditions.
What is the matter with all of our
boys and girls? They must be asleep.
They have almost ceased to write.
Let’s all wake up, and write some
good and inspiring letters. Boys and
girls, the letters we write do more
good than you think they do.
I enjoyed reading the letter from the
missionary that has gone to the for
eign land, and given up all the pleas
ures that we now have in the United
States, and has gone far away to lead
someone else heaven’s way.
When the judgment day comes,
which side will you be ready to go on ?
Just think of having your mother or
brothers, or some member of your
family, or some dear friend, in hell to
burn all the time.
I will close for this time, with love
to all, I remain,
RAYMOND KELLY.

PAPER PLATES AND TABLE
LINEN.
Tables can now' be daintily furnish
ed with such paper articles as cloths,
napkins, plates of different designs
and uses, and other dishes. A table
cloth shown in an illustration in the
March Popular Mechanics is so close
an imitation of the linen article that
It looks exactly like it. Pattern and
texture are there, and it is as dainty
looking a& a damask cloth. Its one
drawback is in durability, but even
this ceases to be a draw'back when
it is considered that it is intended for
only one meal and is sold at a low
price.
Another illustration shows a set of
six paper p-ates, artistically decorated
with colors that will not come off.
They are also intended only for one
meal and are then thrown away.
A CITY OF SNOW-WHITE DOMES.
The little city of El-Oued, with its
population of 8,000 people, at the ex
treme south of the province of Con
stantine, in Algeria, is unique even
for a Mohammedan city, because of
the great number of its snow-white
domes or cupolas. So extraordinary
is the great number of these cupolas
that many writers have referred to
El-Oued as “The City of a Thousand
Cupolas.” The homes of the resi
dents of El-Oued are constructed of
white plaster, and w r ere it not for
the whiteness the domes w’ould be
The Cause of Cancer.
While years of research among the
best physicians throughout the world
have failed to determine the exact
cause which is responsible for Cancer,
fortunately for the afflicted, great
strides have been made in successfully
treating it. Until recent years Cancer
was considered an incurable disease,
and is by many yet. Dr. Bye, the
noted specialist, states that he is in a
position to prove to the satisfaction
of any one who wishes to investigate,
that Cancer is curable with his mild
Combination Oil treatment. For
literature and full information, address

KANSAS WILL PRINT HER
SCHOOL BOOKS
Kansas will renew her war on the
“schoolbook trust” at the coming ses
sion of the legislature. This time it
will be on a new tack. State publica
tion of texts used in the common
schools will be the weapon used. Kan
sas has a state printing plant compar
atively new'. Before it was establish
el the “state printer graft” was con
sidered one of the fattest gifts of the
legislature. Since then the state has
saved thousands of dollars, more than
enough to pay the cost of the plant,
by publishing its own documents and
reports.
When the state printing plant was
established, it was not intended for
the publication of schoolbooks. But
Kansas has felt her citizens were
gouged leeply on text books, and the
state printer has just completed an
exhaustive investigation. After figur
ing in every cost of publication and
distribution, the state printer finds
the state could have saved in one year
$224,189.65, or nearly 50 per cent. Here
is what he says after his investigation:
“I unhesitatingly say that there is
not a book furnished by any publish
ing house today to the state of Kan
sas that could not be sold at less than
the price fixed by statute and still fur
nish a fine margin of profit.”
A Louisiana man has invented a
machine for measuring and recording
the measurements of lumber. Planks
passed through it engage a roller at
tached to a registering device on the
side.

The Golden Age for February 18, 1909.
“THE SALVATION OF SOCIETY”
A Book of Stirring Lectures. Addresses, Sermons,
by Rev. John Roach Straton, D.D., Baltimore, Md.
Our Age has been called “an age
of donut.” In addition to other lec
tures, this book contains a series of
most informing and inspiring ad
dresses on the following subjects:
“Is there a Living God?” “Is the
Bible a Revelation from God?” “Does
God Answer Prayer?” “Was Jesus
Christ the Son of God?” “Is Christ
the World’s Saviour?” “Did Jesus
Rise From the Dead?” “Will Christ
Come Back Again?”
If You Have Some Friend or rela
tive indifferent to Christianity or
trouuled with doubts about religion,
you could not do a better service than
to send to that friend a copy of this
original and up-to-date consideration
of these fundamental truths.
Our Age is also known as an age
of ‘Social Unrest.” The discussion
of Socialism in its relation to Chris
tianity and other problems connected
with “The Salvation of Society,” as
contained in this book, will be found
helpful in clearing the thought and
inspiring the heart on these great
themes.
Rev. E. Y. Mullins, D. D„ President
of the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary:
“i am impressed with its clear and
forcible style, its spiritual and practi
cal power, and its adaptation to pres
ent needs. It is a putting of the gos
pel in a pertinent and effective man
ner, calculated to do much good.”
THE GOLDEN AGE, :: ATLANTA, GA.' ——
Rev. J. M. Frost, D. D., Corres
ponding Secretary of the Sunday
School Board, Southern Baptist Con
vention, writes: “I have read the
book with great and inspiring delight.
It is wonderfully fresh and full of
refreshment. This feeling came to
me again and again as I read. Its
prospective is superb, and it is all the
while moving to its completion and
consummation. Under the spell of its
many eloquent passages one turns his
eyes often to the mountain tops. No
doubts, no pessimism, but all through
there is the spirit and. word of help
fulness —an unbroken sound of tri
umphal entry of the King!”
The Venerable Dr. J. B. Hawthorne,
reviewing the book in “The Religious
Herald” of Richmond, Va., says: “The
reader W'ill find in these addresses a
rare combination of profound thought,
apt illustration and rhetorical beauty
and skill. There are passages which
will remind 'him of the serene majesty
of Robert Hall; and others, of the in
tense fervor and cyclonic power of
George Whitefield.”
The Book is substantially bound in
cloth, and the price is One Dollar
($1.00) net, postpaid.
Or send $2.50 for one year’s sub
scription to The Golden Age, and this
splendid book that ought to be in every
