Night Sweats & Cough.
E. W. Walton, Condr. S. P. Ry., Tl7
Van Ness St., San Antonio, Tex.,
writes: “During the summer and fall
of NO2, my annoyance from catarrh
reached that stage where it was actual
misery and developed alarming symp
toms, such as a very deep-seated cough,
night sweats, and pains in the head and
chest. I experimented with several so
called remedies before 1 finally decided
to take a thorough course of Peruna.
“Twoof my friends had gone so far as
to Inform me that the thing for me to do
was to resign my position and seek a
higher, more congenial climate. Every
one thought I had consumption and 1
was not expected to live very long.
“Having procured some Peruna, 1 de
cided to give it a thorough test and ap
plied myself assiduously to the task of
taking It, as per instructions, in the
meantime.
“The effects were soon apparent, all
alarming symptoms disappeared and
my general health became fully as good
as it had ever been in my life.
*1 have resorted to the nse of Peruna
on two or three occasions since that
time to cure myself of bad colds.”

An Intelligent Turtle.
Ray Hidley and Thad Williams
think they have the most intelligent
turtle in the world. The say that
though it can not talk, it can think.
The turtle was caught in a pond
near here and as each boy claimed
a share in it, they decided one should
keep the turtle two days and then
it should be turned over to the oth
er for two days. Yesterday the boys
forgot to transfer the turtle, and this
morning when young Williams went
to the turtle’s tub he found it gone.
Search was Instituted without suc
cess until this afternoon, when the
turtle was found endeavoring to
climb into the other tub, its home,
In the backyard of the Hadley home.
Evidently the turtle remembered the
date, and had crawled the entire
distance between the homes, which
is more than a block, making the
ctrip by the alleys, the route always
adopted by the boys. It seemed
pleased, but almost exhausted, when
found. —Indianapolis News.

“THE PALE GIRL”
.Did Not Know Coffee Was the Cause,
In cold weather some people think
a cup of hot coffee good to help keep
warm. So it is—for a short time but
:the drug—caffeine—acts on tho heart
to weaken the circulation and the re
action la to cause more chilliness.
1 There Is a hot wholesome drink
which a Dak. girl found after a time,
makes the blood warm and the heart
strong.
She says:
“Having lived for five years in N.
Dak., I have used considerable coffee
owing to the cold climate. As a re
sult I had a dull headache regularly,
suffered from indigestion, and had no
‘life’ in me.
“I was known as the ‘pale girl’ and
people thought I was just weakly.
After a time I had heart trouble and
became very nervous, never knew
what it was to be real well. Took
medicine but It never seemed to do
any good.
“Since being married my husband
and I both have thought coffee was
harming us and we would quit, only
to begin again, although we felt It
was the same as poison to ns.
“Then we got some Postum. Well,
the effect was really wonderful. My
complexion is clear now, headache
gone, and I have a great deal of en
ergy I had never known while drink
ing coffee.
“1 haven’t been troubled with indi
gestion since using Postum, am not
nervous, and need no medicine. We
have a little girl and boy who both
love Postum and thrive on it and

A SERMON ‘
SV't/Aeren/-''
’•Why call ye Me Lord, Lord, and ;
do not the things which I say?"— 1
Luke 6:46.
Jesus is either a force or a fraud, j
His word Is truth or it is nonsense. ,
His gospel is either the supreme phi- j
losophy of life or the quintessence j
of silliness. He is either to be fol- j
lowed or no| to be followed. If He .
is to lead we must do His will. He
is a captain whose commands are j
commendable and practicable or an
untrustworthy leader to obey whom
Is the sheerest senselessness. There
is no middle ground. Christ is a wise
man—the eternal wisdom of God —
or a fool; a visioned statesman or a
.visionary; a religious leader beyond
or the most illogical and
[fantastic enthusiast who ever lived,
k The church of the living Christ
•through near 2000 years has pro
claimed Him the incarnate mind of
God, the glorious embodiment of the
eternal wisdom, the supernal leader,
the only true guide, the mentor of
the mind as the Saviour of the soul
of man. Saints have sung of His
beauty, philosophers have yielded
homage to the purity and profundity
of His thought, sages have reveled in
His wisdom, martyrs have died for
Him. We have declared Him Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the 1
end, the ultimate both as to Inception
and finality.
And yet we fail to practice His
truth, to apply His principles, to
obey His mandates, to trust His
word, to live the life that He counsels
as the only life that eternally Is
worth the while. We elevate Him
upon a pedestal of dominating prom
inence, and then we laugh at Him.
We join His church, and then we
misrepresent Him. We swear fealty
under His control, and then ( we de
sert Him in every hour of the test.
And then we wonder why men of
the world have no use for eccleciasti
cism, though they cheer the Christ.
We are amazed at the paltriness of
the church’s grip as an organized in
stitution upon humanity compared
with what it ought to be; while the
sweep of the influence of Jesus Is be
coming universal. We are astounded
that in an age when the Lord of Life
receives greater homage than ever in
the reach of years, the church of the
L or d —the organized body that bears
His name—is being weighed in the
balance of intelligent criticism and
declared wanting.
But it is not strange. Too long
have you cried, “Lord, Lord.” The
world demands performance as well
as protestations. It tires of the pla
titudinous. It expects men who pro
fess to love the good to be something
more than pious. For the piousness
of the day is almost synnoymous
with the most dangerous impious
ness.
Bad men have a suspicion that bad
men will be bad. They expect good
men to be good. They detest pious
talk and a pious mien that gets no
further than words and loots. And
they are right.
Laodicean Christianity is as trait
orous as it is Inefficient. It denies
that in which it professes to believe.
It betrays its Lord with a kiss. The
world has no use for it and we ought
to have none. A world that could
contemplate it with equanimity
wouldn’t be worth saving. What
shall we say of a church which too
largely practices it?
Too much have we cried, “Lord,
Lord.” Jesus says, “Ye are My
friends if ye do whatsoever I com
mand you.” Have we done His will?
Jesus says: “Love your enemies:
bless them that curse you; him that
taketh away thy cloak forbid not to
j take thy coat also.” And Jesus prac
i ticed His proclamations. He was the
I friend of God. He did the will of the
1 Father. They crucified Him. He be
sought forgiveness for His persecu
tors.
■ And yet In a land blessed as is
ours with the heritage of twenty cen
turies of Christian teaching, cultured
and controlled under the gospel of
1 Jesus, the best theory of peace that
! we can practice is that which bids us
Ito be prepared for war. The very
| church which sings the praises of the
] prince of peace is strangely silent be
[ fore the militarism of our age. Pre
! paredness for war has yet to be pro
i ven a guarantee of peace. Indeed it
! has been quite otherwise. It is
I neither effective nor necessary. It is
| purely expedient and never final in
I theory or in practice. Jesus’ way is
a better way. If all the armaments
of the world were wrecked there
i would be a surer guarantee of peace
j than there is to-day and greater pros
j perity.
Jesus’ theories have never had an
honest opportunity to prove their
| worth. Those that have been tried,
j however little, have revealed the wis
! dom of the Lord. Where nations
I have ceased to war and have brought
I their difficulties to the bar of divine
ly guided counsel there have they
I found the best results. The Individ-
I ual who follows In the footsteps of
] his Saviour and forgets injury, for
gives injustice, requites good for evil,
1 may seem impractical, but he is the
| happiest as the most honored among
the sons of men. The man who sub
mits to persecution while his trust
remains In God may lose his head;
he will not lose his soul. External
forces cannot steal away that life
i eternal which is the gift of God.
The church must either follow
Christ or it must cease to be. The
reason for its existence is resident in
its recognition of His authority. The
secret of its ancient power lay in its
willingness to do Kis will. And as
the guiding spirit in a larger era
gives her visions of wider ministry
and impulse to a service the like of
which she has never known she must
move on with fidelity and fervor or
be discredited and disowned.
The church is not the kingdom
save as the church labors for the
consummation of the kingdom. It is
not an end in itself. It is a means to
the attainment of divine conclusions.
The trouble has been and is that we
have mistaken theology for Chris
tianity, the organization for the life,
the membership roll for the test of
membership. Quite otherwise is the
mind of Christ. The test of member
ship is not how warm we make seats,
or how loud we sing, or how vehe
mently we pray. The final testing is
the testing of service. Do you work
is you pray? Do you warm hearts
as well as benches? Do you make
souls to rejoice? Do you regard
yourself not as your brother’s keeper
so much as your brother’s brother?
Are you true to Christ? Have you
I keenness to serve the King?
“Why call ye Me Lord, Lord, and
do not the things which I say?” The
question is as timely and applicable
as it was when it was propounded.
For there never has been a time when
the church more largely was cogniz
ant of the ineffectualness of lip serv
ice and convinced of the need for re
sultful and helpful labor than she is
: to-day.
The Protestant church is in danger
of becoming priest-ridden—the worst
that can befal the organization of the
church; ridden with a priesthood
shorn of compulsory authority and
In whom the authority of the Christ
is too precariously admitted to re
| side. The laity of Protestanlsm are
too largely guilty of hiring men to
3o their work for them —at salaries
on the average that are an Insult to
the Lord whose work they send their
employes to do —-rather than of call
in g_ leaders. whosg_ business _ U shall
be to 'direct fheenergfes, rebuke fff©
sins, vitalize the virtues, clarify the
thought, inspire the minds, intensify
the spiritual conceptions and percep
tions of the sons of God who are
members of the church of Christ.
The church of Christ is full of men
and women who have their names
upon its rolls for no better reason
than that It is politic or proper or
polite or profitable socially and com
mercially so to be enlisted. And the
consequence is that enthusiasm has
gone out of the most of the meetings
of the church, the gatherings for
prayer are generally so dry and cold
and uninteresting that they are a
distress to earnest pastors and a re
dectlon not only upon the intelligence
and spiritual experience, but also
upon the gratitude of the church.
The reason for this is not far to ;
seek. The laity, and not infrequent
ly the clergy, have been so busy seek
ing material success that they have
had no time to serve the Lord after
the manner of the Master. The dol
lar has supplied so many wants that
men have ceased to feel the pressing
need for spiritual supplies. It has
been declared impossible for a nation
to believe Christ, disarm and be pre
served against the rapacious agres
sions of the armed. Business men
have declared it impossible to follow
Christ and succeed. The best we
have done, till very lately, in the
management of criminals has been
to jail or execute them. The spirit
Dt the lex tallonis —the lowest law of
Judaism —is rampant in the settle
ment of disputes between nations and
nations, society and its members, in
dividuals and thefr fellows. We have
forgotten the God of life in the ex
cellency of our livings. We have
prayed for reforms that we have
neither advanced, expected or de
sired. We have thanked God for the
might of His power while fearful to
trust His sufficiency against the on
slaught of Satan. We have talked
brotherhood and practiced an indi
vidualism that has brought sorrow
where there is no need for aught but
joy, and strife where co-operation
would more thoroughly fulfil the
plans of God. by and with the con
gent—tacit or active —of the church.
The situation cannot endure. The
church must reform or relinquish her
claim to primacy and to the privil
eges of leadership. Saying “Lord,
Lord,” will make her acceptable
neither to coming generations nor to
her bridegroom. Vain repetitions
are valueless to produce results. Ac
tion only is qualified to transmute
ideas into achievements. To do His
work w ? e must do His will.
Jesus gives us a picture of the end
of the institution or the man guilty
of lip-service or of lukewarm adher
ence to the propagation of the truth.
“Not every one that saith unto Me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the king
dom of heaven, but he that doeth the
will of My Father.” He forecasts
the fate of those Insincere and paltry
Christians who stand before Jehovah
at the great assize.
It is to be hoped that Jesus’ pic
ture will not prove a photograph of
us. It is not necessary that it should.
We shall be recreant and without ex
cuse if It shall so prove to be. No
man and no church need call upon the
Lord in vain. He who hath called us
and upon whom we call is both will
ing and able to perform through us
effective service for the welfare and
the salvation of individuals and the
race. God summons us in Christ to
supreme labor. He provides contem
poraneously the power necessary to
succeed. He energizes and verifies
and inspires and enthuses every soul
md every society that with high de
sire and dedicated purpose calls upon
His name.
Not “Lord, Lord,” but “Lord, here
am I, send me,” “What wilt Thou
have me to do?”

Emotion Is the Bud.
Emotion has no value in the Chrls
;ian system save as it stands con
lected with right conduct as the cause
>f it. Emotion is the bud, not the
lower, and never is it of value until
:t expands into a flower. Every re
ligious sentiment, every act of devo
;ion which does not produce a corre
sponding elevation of life, is worse

nicious, because it ministers to self

The Work of the Spirit.
The great work of the Holy Spirit,
what is it? To make Christ present
with us. Look at the disciples; they
loved Him, but they were under the
power of the flesh. The rule of the
flesh had not been broken, and Christ
:ould not get a lodgment in their
hearts; but He said, the Holy Spirit
will come, and I will come again to
you (in the Spirit) and the Father
and I will take up Our abode with
you. The Spirit's work is revealing
God and Christ in our very hearts.—

BUSINESS TRAINING.
"I make a practice,” said a mother,
“of having my daughter or my son do
my business correspondence in so far
as it is possible. What is my method?
I give them an idea of what I want
said and .then ask them to draft any
necessary letter. I go over it, make
any changes or suggestions, and then
have the girl or boy rewrite and send
It. This is not so much to save me
time —in fact, I do not know but -what
I spend more time the present way
than if I did It all myself—but I con
sider the business training most de
sirable for them. Of course, there
will come a time, and not so far in the

these letters without instructions.

WOMEN AS CHEMISTS.
“It is inexpedient publicly to en
courage women to adopt chemistry as
a professional pursuit.”
In this concise way is expressed the
view of those members of the Chem
ical Society of Great Britain who dis
approve of the proposal to allow
women to become members.
Out of 3400 papers read on per
sonal researches during the last thir
ty-five years only twenty-three have
been contributed by women alone.
There is a growing desire, however,
on the part of many of our leading
scientists to admit women chemists to
membership, and, as the wish has met
with the strongest opposition from
other members, the question is being
put to a ballot.

BEAUTY’S LAMENT.
The disadvantages of winning a
beauty competition become evident in
one’s morning mail. At least this is
the opinion of Miss Ivy Close, whom
a committee of nine English artists,
after considering 15,000 portraits,
recently acclaimed as the most beau
tiful woman in England, surpassing
the Chicago Tribune’s standard bear
er of American pulchritude. Miss
Marguerite Frey.
Miss Close gave utterance to sev
eral sapient remarks about that time,
recommending as an aid to the
achievement of beauty, tea, coffee,
lobster, and cucumber for Internal
application, and ‘‘any nice handy
soap” for external use. This will
ingness to divulge her secret has
brought her the diurnal correspond
ence which she now finds a burden.
“If you had raven-black hair and
brown eyes, would buy you a dark
red or a sky-blue dress?” wrote one
beauty seeker. “Is it really true that
coal dust is a good thing to clean
your teeth with?” another anxiously
asked. One lady demanded to know
whether Miss Close believed in boiled
milk taken the last thing at night—
a test of faith to which the advocate
of lobster and cucumber could pro
pound no solution.
Miss Close has also received letters
of a connubial nature from strange
gentlemen. “I am handsome and
thoroughly domesticated.” wrote one
correspondent. “I would never stay
at the club after one o’clock in the
morning, do not drink, never smoke
in the drawing room,” etc. —the last
word being evidently an instance of
elastic currency. Another suitor was
more original. “I am awfully busy
this week,” he wrote, “but all the
same am frightfully keen on marry
ing you. I shall have an afternoon
off on Tuesday next; if you have
nothing better to do, don’t you think
we might get married then?”—Har

FOR THE SCHOOLGIRL.
There must always he'a good look
ing tailored suit that can be worn
with a lingerie waist or a pretty silk
blouse for church, shopping, mati
nees and Informal teas in the ward
robe of the schoolgirl, says the De
lineator. The little girls wear,
straight pleated skirts with bretelles
or suspenders, and double-breasted
box coats that are childish looking in
spite of being tailor made.
The older girls wear the smart sin
gle-breasted coats with a pointed out
line at the bottom, which gives the
figure a graceful little dip. The
pleated skirt is prettier than the
gored one for this kind of a suit. If
the autumn tailor-made is to be worn
again in the spring, choose a color
that will look well in warm weather;
navy or royal blue is good for either
season—so is golden brown or smoke
gray or a pretty check.
For every day wear throughout the
school year there is nothing prettier
for a girl, whether she is eight or
eighteen, than the regulation sailor
suit In dark blue serge. In fact,
many boarding schools require it
during school hours, and the effect
produced by it when it is worn by all
students is very pretty.
For the ■warm days in the autumn
and the long stretch of hot weather
in May and June a girl should havo
plenty of simple tub dresses. Even
the six and eight cent wash fabrics
make up prettily and keep a girl
sweet and fresh looking, without in
volving any great expense. The
princess or seral-prlncess jumper
dresses and the separate jumper
joined under a belt to a pretty skirt
are the neatest kinds of dresses.
For rainy days there should be a
walking skirt, a flannel waist or two
and a long storm coat. There is the
sweater or jersey for outdoor sports,
and the gymnasium suit required by
most schools. These things complete
the list of the ordinary daytime out
fit.
For the dinner hour, white serge
or cloth, etamines and voiles in pale
blues or pinks, or dainty dresden
silks make appropriate little dresses
that can be worn fall, winter and
spring. These dresses need not rep-
resent any great expenditure—in fact
they should be most simple, and
their beauty should lie in their dain
tiness and freshness. The younger
children will need a greater supply
than the older girls, for they are al
ways meeting with calamities. On
the other hand, the older girl will
need an evening wrap, a pretty danc
ing frock or two.of batiste or tulle,

The Opium Trade.
When, in 1776, the East India
Company took charge of the trade,
which was the real beginning, except
in a small way, of the importation of
opium into China, it was bitterly op
posed by the Chinese Government,
and opium smoking was punished
with severe fines and penalties. In
1839 a proclamation was issued
threatening hostile measures if the
English ships serving as depots were
not sent away. In the same year the
Chinese Government destroyed over
20,000 chests of opium. The British
continued to smuggle, against the re
monstrances of the Chinese Govern
ment, and outrages on both sides led
to a war, which was ended by the
treaty of Nanking in 1842.
Entertainment.
We found the mansion a veritable
marvel, so adapted was it to the pur
poses of hospitality.
Especially struck were wo by the
mechanical device in every room, by
means of which, upon dropping a §5
gold piece into a slot, you could get
anything—a towel, a drink of water,
even a civil answer.
We saw the point at once. The
device made it so much cheaper for
guests than the old way of depend
ing on servants, that it was possible
to invite clever people to house par
ties, and not merely such as were su
perlatively ylch.—Puck.

THE SAFE WAY TO BUY PAINT.
Property owners will save a deal

their buildings properly painted, if
they know how to protect themselves

thoroughly dependable White Lead —
that’s the “Dutch Boy Painter” trade
mark which the National Lead Com

White Lead, place on every package
of their product. This company sends
a simple and sure little outfit for test
ing white lead, and a valuable paint

Guided To Treasure By Spirit.
“I shall give all the money to

she had returned after her success

Voices from the spirit world indi
cated to Mrs. Gulliford where the
treasure was hidden, according to the
explanation she gives. “Martha,” the
spirit of a child, told her three years
ago that a large sum of money was
buried at Chattanoga. The vision
returned again and again, she said,
and she was forced to believe that
she had a second sight.
Finally she went to Chattanooga,
and discovered a large sum. how
large she will not say, under a great
stone in a pasture.
“I hope to return the money to
its owner,” she said, “but thus far
I have had no applications from
people who have lost anything. When
some one does come I shall know
if he is the correct person, for Mar
tha, the spirit, will tell me what to
believe.” —Chicago Journal.

“Our little girl was two months old when
she got a rash on her face and within five
days her face and head were all one sore.
We used different remedies but it got
worse instead of better and we thought she

scratch until the blood came. This went
on until she was five months old, then 1

she continued to grow worse. He said it
was eczema. When she was seven months

BORAX IN THE DAIRY.
A Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman.
The problem of keeping sweet all
the utentils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest taint or hint of staleness
left in a can, tin or churn may ruin
a whole output; that the taint which
is left is in the form of bacteria
which grow and multiply In milk or
butter, producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won’t rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that'soap leaves a
residue of its own which is, If any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it Is little wbnder that
there has been a constant clamor for
a dairy cleanser and sweetener that
will meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es
tablishments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a
product of nature which exactly fills
the bill—borax.
Scientists have long known borax
as a cleanser, a sweetener and an
antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and
germ growths. Destroys all that a
harmful and promotes and preserves
freshness, sweetness and purity, re
lieving the dairyman and dairy house
wife of drudgery and of needless
work and worry.
Its cheapness and value should gl"e
It first place in the necessities of
every dairy.
The cow’s udder is kept In a clean,
healthy and smooth condition by
washing it with borax and water, a
tablespoonful of borax to two quarts
of water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracking teats, which make
milking time a dread to the cow and
a worry to the milker.
The modern cleanser of all dairy
utensils consists of—one tablespoon
ful of borax to every quart of water
needed. Remember—a tablespoonful
equals four teaspoonfuls.
Be sure that you get pure borax.
To be sure, you must get “2 0 Mule
Team Borax.”

Power From The Mines-
A central plant of 8,000-'
power is about to be erected i.
midst of the bituminous coal tic
of Indiana. It is believed that a
large saving of expense, especially
for transportation of coal, can thus
be effected. It is intended to dis
tribute the power over a wide terri
tory direct from the mouth of the
mines. The distance from the plant
to Indianapolis will be about 100
miles. This will involve a small loss
’ of power in transmission, repairing,
according to the calculation, an in
crease of about 10 per cent, in the
amount of coal consumed above what
it would be if the coal were burned
at the points where the power is
used. But the saving in other re
spects is expected to much more than
counter-balance this slight disadvant
age.
