The year 1910 finds Mr.. Lincoln en-
tering his thirty second year and still
unmarried. 81 have come to the con-
clusion,' he suggests in a facetious let
ter two years before, ''never again to
think of marrying" But meanwhile he
had seen more of the world. The state
capital had been removed to Springfield,
and he soon observed the power and in
fuence one can exert with high family
and social surroundings to draw upon.
The sober truth is that Lincoln was in

REMEDY OF GREAT VALUE.

In an article on Proprietary remedies,
which appeared in a recent issue of the
''St. Louis, Mo-, Medical Brief" Prof.
Willard IL. Morse, NJ. ID. F.. Il. S. Sc, of
Westfield, n. j., says: "One notable in
stance in point of efficacy is offered by DR..
David Kennedys Favorite Remedy which
has earned reputation as curative of
Bright's disease and other affections of the
kidneys" In concluding the article, DR..
Morse says: "Manifestly, therefore. treat
ment of the kidneys and bladder, both
preventive and curative calls primarily
for the exclusion of all factors causative
of functional arrangements. Diseases of
the kidneys demand re-establishments of
normal functions, destruction of the micro
organism causing the disease, and repair
of the ravages. These three demands are
fulfilled by DR.. David Kennedy's Favor
ite Remedy-it reinstates and regulates
the renal functions, it destroys the casual
germ. and repairs the broken down It's
sues"
DIR. David kenndey's Favorite Remedy
is an unfailing specific for such diseases
as rheumatism, neuralgia, biliousness,
dyspepsia, kidney and liver complaints.
In Brights disease, diabetes. urinary
troubles and the sickness peculiar to wo-
men, 1t cures where all else falls.

Lecture OF {. B. STURCES
Delightful Discourse Upon Japan and
the Japs.
FRENCHMEN OF THE FAR EAST
Particular Attention Is Paid to tho
Courtesy and Hospitality of the
Japanesc-Manncrs and Customs
Of the Enlightened People.

An audience which filled every seat
In the lecture room of the Green Ridge
Presbyterian church last night heard
Il. b. Sturges deliver an admirable and
instructive lecture on Japan and the
Japs." 1t was the first of series of
four talks to be given on Tuesday
nights and was illustrated by stere-
optlcon Views made from original ko-
dak pictures taken by Mr.. Sturges in
his trip around the world. The re-
naming lectures and views will be
upon "China and Ceylon," "The Mon
key Land" and Egypt and Palestine"
In the order named.
Throughout the lecture the audience
evinced a profound interest, and the
wrapt attention accorded Mr.. Sturges
was the best evidence that his introduc-
tory apology for his inability was not
borne out. His lecture smacked more
strongly Of the bright, chatty and en-
tertaining talk of traveller, rather
than q statistical, dry and historical
expressions of the ordinary lecturer.
Frcnchmcn OF the East.
He put particular emphasis on the
japanese people being the Frenchmen
of the East in their courtesy, hospital
ity and love of amusement. Their pc
culiar clinging to things of the past
while acquiring more rapidly than any
other nation the enlightenment of the
present he referred to frequently. This
feature, too was often observed in the
views which showed perhaps a Buddh-
list temple, maybe several centuries
n1H httf 1a1 h,,, ,Io rtr IL,
greater profusion than can be observed
on any corner in Scranton, the Electric
City of the United States.
Perhaps his greatest revelation was
description of a Japanese house in:
terror, or, rather, it's lack of things to
be described. Americans can scarcely
conceive of a house without beds,
chairs, ornaments or carpets, yet the
Japs do without any of these, and get
along very nicely, too. They eat, sleep
and sit on the floor, which requires
that 1t and its mating shall be scrupul-
ously clean. Cleanliness, said Mr.
Sturges, is one of the chief character
istics of these people, personally and in
their surroundings.
Yokahama, the seaport, and Toxic
Veddo), the capital and principal in
land city of Japan, furnished the chief
material of the lecture, which included
concise references to the bazaars,
temples, pastimes, character, govern
ment, religion-in fact, an hundred sub
jects.
After Mr.. Sturges had finished he was
accorded honest congratulations upon
his success as an entertaining speaker
and it would not be surprising If his re-
naming talks have to be given in a
more spacious auditorium. The pro-
ceeds of the series will be devoted to
the church.

GENERAL GRANT.
How Near His Personal Memoirs
Came to be Lost.


4 Valuable History Written by . Dying
Man. Proper NOurishment Enabled
tho Author to Live Until the Compile
tiOn Of His Book.
The fortitude shown by General Grant
In writing the second volume of his per-
sonal memoirs while he was literally on
his deathbed, excels even the remarkable
courage exhibited by this famous soldier
in his many achievements on the field Of
battle.
Col. Fred Grant, speaking of his fathers
last illness, says:-
"During the last four months of his
sickness, the principal food of my father,
Gen. Grant, was Bovinine and milk; and
1t was the use of this incompatible food
alone that enabled him to finish the second
volume of his personal memoirs"
DR.. T. H. Douglas, Gen. Grants physi-
clan and friend, cordially indorsed the
above statement.
What Bovinine did for Gen. Grant 1t
has done, and is now doing, for thousands
every day. IL is the most wonderful con-
centration into small bulk of all the
life-giving, muscle, flesh, and blood-mak-
ing elements. Of lean, raw meat ever pro-
duced
1t is in no way medicine, simply q
food invigorant, that by its strengthening
qualities gives the worn-out or disordered
vital centres of the body an impetus that
again starts them performing their natu-
raj functions.
1t is indorsed by eminent physicians
everywhere, and blessed by thousands
whose lives 1t has actually saved.
To neglect to use this wonderful food
in all cases Of debility, wasting diseases,
overwork, stomach and nerve diseases, or
for weak infants, chronic invalids, loss Of
vitality in old age, is to throw away one
Of the greatest chances of saving life.
