The F1ftieth Anniversary.
The afternoon was devoted to the
celebration of the 5Oth anniversary of
the Rock Island Baptists. The ad-
dress was made by Rev. c. f. Tay-
lor. who recounted and graphically
described the early struggles of tn q
church in by-gone days in the locali.
ty now governed by the association,
the Rock Island church being the
first. having been organized in June,
1887. The Lyndon church was or
ganized the same year. the Oxford
church following in 1910, other con-
gregations being founded the next
year. They we're connected with
the Davenport association until
May. 1874, when the Rock ISL
and church sent an invitation to the
churches on this side OF the river to
send delegates to this city to consid-
er the advisability of organizing an
association in this section of Illinois.
The churches responded and the
meeting was held at the court house
in this city Oct. &c. 1874, and the
present association founded and it
now numbers Is churches.
Rev. Taylor told OF the advance
ment of the various branches Of the
church from it's infancy. Some OF
the older members illustrated some
characteristics and interesting anec-
dotes Of the people of forty or fifty
years ago. The address was most in
teresting. especially to the young
folks. The afternoon services were
closed with short speeches and rem.
iniscences by many Of the older
members of the association.

ing Of the future of the church, he
said he believed its worst trials were
coming. speaking at some length on
the doings Of the evil one, and say
ing that his tactics had changed from
that Of roaring lion to a shrewd
and finely dressed gentleman. Then
he spoke of another difficulty the
church must fght-the Antagonist

there is God or not. DR.. Hensen
condemned ultra-optimism. saying
that when optimism is carried to
such an extent that it degenerates
into fatalism. the individuals be-

whole machinery Of Christianity is
ceased, for the devil could do no
worse than make us lose faith in
prayer.

90 YOU WISH A GOOD HINT
1--WE must eat to live"

1--WE must eat to live."
The health Of the body and life it.
self depend entirely on . suitable
diet. When people do not get enough
food or live on an improper diet
sickness is the inevitable result
Proper nourishment is the secret O,
health and strength. The great
question of health is, therefore, what
is proper diet?
This question might be answered
in three different ways and vet each
answer would be correct. In the
tropics, it would be right to say that
the proper diet for mankind is al.
most entirely vegetarian-that is,
fruits. vegetables and grains. But
in America. which lies in the great
temperate zone, q mixed diet is found
to be the best. The healthiest people in
this country live on meat foods, veg.
etables and grains in suitable proper
tiOns. Such a diet is founded on
reason. and it ought to be healthy.
Theory and practice, however, do
not always agree. There are thou
sands OF people who eat plenty OF
good food and yet remain weak, un-
naturally thin. pale and puny. They
have no strength, and are continual
~ complaining Of tired feelings.
Their great trouble is that while they
eat suitable food they do not get sui-
hcient nourishment. They do not di-
gest their food properly. So they
keep thin and keep getting thinner.
Lack OF nourishment soon wears
them out.
1t was formerly the custom to adj
wise such people to take oils and fats,
but persons with weak stomachs can
no more digest cod liver oil than
they can digest fat pork. The effect
OF either is to make them dyspeptic
and bilious. And that is why ad-
vanced physicians now refuse to pre-
scribe cod liver oil. Medicated wines
and so called stomach "bitters" are
equally useless. They only inflame
the lining OF the stomach and give
no nourishment.
The recognition Of these great
principles of diet and nourishment
has led to one of the most brilliant
discoveries OF the present age. 1t
has completely revolutionized the
treatment of dyspepsia and emacia-
ton. Instead OF trying to cure indi-
gestion with medicines and oily mix
lures, people are now finding out
that the only way to get relief is by
obtaining sufficient nourishment, and
that this nourishment is speedily
gained by taking Paskola, the artif-
cially digested food. This great dis
covery has caused a decided sensa-
t Ga for some time past, and the fact
that Paskola is becoming so wonder
fully popular is the best proof that it
has merit.
Any up-to-date druggist will fur
nish Paskola. If you want to know
how it works. send for free pamphlet

MARKING THE COURSE.

A Washington dispatch says: Of
ticers of the navy department are
having some difficulty in laying the
course in Long Island sound for the
trial OF the torpedo boat. Ericsson.
There have been several consulta-
tions between Admiral Ramsey and
the bureau chiefs, but as yet the plan
is not entirely decided on. The
trouble is the ship is 80 small and
time two hours) SO short that it is
difficult to anchor the buoys 50 the
distance of two miles can be accu-
rstely measured. The Ericsson must
make "a knots an hour or she will be
rejected. The contractors insist
that the trial must take place in deep
water. The navy department can
not obstruct the sound, and it must
anchor its buoys marking the course
with accuracy. One end Of the
course may be marked by light
houses, but this is impossible at the
other end. 1t is probable the buoys
will be anchored by several chains in
order that they may not be displaced
by the movements.

A Rare Insect which Devours the Leaves

One of the rarest insects is the
book worm, creature hated by the
lover of books, for it eats the paper
of which they are composed, boring
through it in every direction. But
two specimens of this curious insects
work have ever been discovered in
this country, one in private library
at Philadelphia, the other more re-
Gently In New York. This second
was copy of Seneca published in
London in 1876 and now owned by
w. e. Benjamin. and in the book
two worms were discovered. When
found the worm was motionless.
Protruding over the edge of the
leaves and to the tail of the worm
was conical cocoon. One worm be-
gan at the end OF Seneca to eat for
ward, while the other began at the
front and worked toward the end.
The worm eating in the front of
the book was about three-eighths Of
an inch long and one-eighth of an
inch in diameter. Its head ended
bluntly, while its tail tapered to a
sharp point. 1t was the color Of
water mixed with oatmeal. Being
