A WAR MING.

The modes of deaths approach are various, and
statistics show conclusYely that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and Lungs than any
other, 1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs
into the system, and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop, at
first slowly and is shown by slight tickling sem
sation in the throat and if allowed TO continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs, producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrh.
Now all this is dangerous, and if allowed to pro-
coed will, in time, cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing cold to go
without attention is dangerous, and may lose you
your life. AS soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain bottle Of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief. novS-d1y-cT

Mrs. Barney to the w. C. T. Union.

1t has often been asked why the w. G. T.
U. should undertake evangelistic work
This question arises from the supposition
that the Union is an organization outside of
and independent Of the church. There can
be no greater mistake. Our National Union
is composed of the mothers and teachers OF
all denominations who feel that new truth
has been opened to them without which even
the church, as it is today, must come to an
end. The Messiah must penetrate into all
its conditions and again out and beyond the
church, wherever crime and wretchedness
exist.
Thus it comes that we have an Eyangelis-
tic Board under whose lead we have Bible
Readings, work among railroad employees,
work among soldiers and sailors, work among
lumbermen, and miners, work among Nor
mon women; work in prisons, jails, aims
houses and police stations, with a superin-
tendent of each department of work.
Mrs. Barry of Providence has been long at
the head of the latter department, and as has
been announced will speak in this city on
Tuesday evening next.

it with good feeling and excellent discrimin-

down little by added years; and Katie
Hart is a spirited and sunshiny second as
