When All Things In. Nature Start

Some Other Things in Which the Ancients
Have Given Us Points.

The anoients began their year with the
advent of spring. How much more APP
propriate thus TO begin the new year with
the new life of nature in the awakening
spring. At this season all processes
throughout the natural world start afresh.
The ancients also showed their sagacity
and appreciation of the great changes
and active processes of the spring time,
by realizing that this is also the time for
renewed life and energy in the human
system. They well knew that the blood
should be cleansed from impurities and
the nerves reinvigorated at this season.
Hence the establishment of the custom Of
taking good spring medicine.
Thi most sensible and healthy custom
is followed by almost everybody at the
present day. few people of intelligence
venturing to go through this trying time
OF change from winter to summer with
out taking a spring medicine.
The unanimity on this subject is set

spring tonic and restorative, DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy Is pre-
eminently the best.
Year after year DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy has proved itself
the surest, most positive and reliable
remedy. Made from pure, vegetabl
medicines. 1t invariably cleanses, purihes
and enriches the blood, making the blood
rich and red, and at the same time, by
Its invigorating effects, giving strength,
power, vitality and energy TO the nerves.
In fact, DIR. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy has proved itself the
most perfect of medicines, and just what
everybody needs for q spring medicine.
Try 1t this spring.
Mr.. Stoughton l.. Farm ham, OF Man

"Some time ago / was troubled with
lassitude and a feeling of fatigue. | did

The Clergy Eehnked.

PORTLAND, Me. March 10--Jamcs p.
Baxter was inaugurated mayor OF this
city for the fourth time yesterday. In his
address he stated that Ii was with the
greatest difficulty that the prohibitory law
could be enforced with 400 saloons and =
small police force. Tho mayor said he
had taken the oath TO enforce the law, and
would do IL, but he must have n special
police force under his authority TO do IL.
Ho asked II 10 could be enforced when
clergymen dcnouncc the mayor for non
enforcement one night and the next at.
tend wine banquet and eulogize their
host for his fine vino. The mayor said
that public opinion seemed against the
enforcement OF the law, and the mayor OF
Portland had been so wrongly abused by
persons who themselves violate the pro
hibitory law that in tho future n self.re-
specting man might well hesitate to &C
cept the Office Of mayor.

AMUSEMENTS. A

The Christian Endeavor Chorus.-An op-
portunity will be presented to the public
for the first time to hear Christian En-
deavor music as it will be sung during
the Christian Endeavor convention by the
mammoth Christian Endeavor chorus that
has been organized and for months been
in training under competent directors. The
chorus numbers over 4,5OO members, and
is divided into four sections. Section A
will sing tonight, and the three musical
directors selected to lead the singing dur
ing the convention will officiate. They are
Percy S. Foster of this city and P. &. Bill
horn and Z. o. Excel of Chicago Mr.
Bilhorn will also sing a solo, and Mrs
Hattie Meads Smith will contribute to the
program. Central Hall is the auditorium
chosen for holding the concert, and the
eleven hundred singers will fill the en-
larged platform and overflow into the au-
dience seats. Tomorrow, Wednesday and
Friday evenings the three other sections
Of the chorus will give similar rehearsals
led respectively by Mr.. Bilhorn, Mr.. Excel
and MIR. Foster. 1t is not often that an
public of hearing choruses of over one
given four evenings this week, and even
those who expect to attend the sessions of
the convention should endeavor to be pres
ent at at least one of the public rehear-
sails, when the chorus can be heard to
splendid advantage. The proceeds of the
concerts are to be used TO swell the con-
ventiOn expense fund.
