The Camera Shows Brooklyn Policemen
Violating the Sunday Law.
New YORK, Dec. -2l.-At a mass meet
ing in the Hanson Place Baptist church
last night at the call of the League for
the Enforcement of the Law in Brook
lyn there were shown upon a screen
with the aid of a stereopticon repro
duction of snap shots taken last Sun
day. The greater part of the views
were saloon exteriors showing uni
formed policemen standing idly in
front of the doors while children
with beer cans were entering by
the side doors or coming out with
froth-crowned pitchers. In more than
one instance. the lecturer explained,
the unerring camera had taken the
policeman's number. The figures on
the official shields were indistinct on
the scenes. but it is said that the num-
bers have been made matter of record
for use elsewhere. The utter uncon-
seriousness of the figures in the picture
to the presence of a camera fiend was
one of the features of the collection.

rron the Texas Christian Advocate.)

Fron the Texas Christian Advocate.)
Our representative has made careful in
Vestigation of the H. Z. Spaulding case at
Longview. which is here published for the
first time, and which will be read with great
interest by medical men everywhere. In
reply to the Christian Advocates questions
Mr.. Spaulding said: About eight years ago
while running a locomotive l contracted
sciatic rheumatism in my left side from
nv hip down. IL came on slow but sure
and in a few months lost control en-
tsrely of that member, it was Just the same
as if il was paralyzed, was totally unable
TO move out of my room for year and
half, six months of which time was bed
ridden. l tried every remedy suggested,
and had regular physicians in constant at
tendance on me. 1 was bundled up and sent
to Hot Springs where Ispent three months
under the treatment of the most eminent
specialists, all of which did me no good,
and came back from the springs in worse
condition than when / went. / came
heme and laid fat On my back and
suffered the most excruciating agonies,
screaming in pain every time any
body walked across the room, the only ease
obtained being from the constant use Of
opiates. After three months of this kind
OF agony, during which time my entire left
leg persisted away to the very bone, my at
tention was called to a new remedy called
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, by
Mr.. Allison who is now train dispatcher at
Texarkana, and who was relieved of loco
motor ataxia of twenty years duration. At
his urgent and repeated solicitation / con-
scented to give them a trial, after taking
few doses began to improve. l continued
taking the pills and kept right on improving
until was finally cured. My leg is Just the
same size now as the other one, and 1 am
sure that Pink Pills not only cured me but
saved life.
The reporter next visited DR.. 9. H. Stans-
bury, a graduate of one of the medical
schools of Kentucky, and man who en-
Joys the confidence of everybody in Long
view. He said: Il KIN ow that Mr.. Spaulding
had terribly severe attack of sciatic rheu-
matism of which tried to cure him; used
everything known TO my profession in vain
and finally recomm ended him 10 go 10 Hot
Springs. He came back from the springs
worse than when he went and l thought it
was only matter OF time until his hart
would be affected and he would die. l also
know that his cure is the direct result Of
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
THAT is rather an unusual statement for
& regular physician to make, doctor"
81 know it is, but fact is a fact, and
there are hundreds of people right here in
Longview who know what l say is the
truth. also know Mr.. Allison and know
that he was relieved of a genuine and severe

If some grocers try to sell another baking

ofthe superiority of the Royal" To give greater

to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
