convoyed it to Dover, where he was
enthusiastically greeted. At every
station thousands shouted their, wel
comes as his train speeded to Lon
don. In London he wes received by
King George, tho British Premier
and other notables. But the greatest
demonstration was that staged In
the streets of London, as the proces

that has ever greeted a visitor to
London paid tribute to 'the American

Fatherless Children of France,
Never before in the life of our
civilization has there been such an
opportunity as is offered to-day to
men and women to act upon the. ex
ample of Him who said, "Suffer little
children ' to come unto me." Our
brave khaki clad crusaders have
whispered into little hearts, you will
be taken care of. . Thirty-six dollars
and fifty cents will keep a child in
its mother's home, but without this
assistance the mother cannot keep
her child with her. On Christmas
day the Christian Church of Rives
adopted three French orphans, also
a young lady of, this city adopted
one. Will you respond to this noble
cause?

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional treatment,
Hairs Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J,
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken internally.
It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one hundred dollars
