GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY
What the Wonderful New Invention may
Show Regarding Things we
Already Know

~ IS an astounding discovery one
| OF the most marvellous of the present
age!"
1t was in these words that am emil
nent scientist lately referred 10 the
new and wonderful invention in pho
| Biography which everybody is discuss
ing. This great invention, as most peo-
pie are aware, enables photographers
to take pictures of objects completely
hidden from the sight In a recent eX-
| perImentfo instance, a portrait of a
man was secured, although he was sep
| afated from the photographer by
three-inch partition. In another case
| a picture was obtained of an the bones.
muscles, blood vessels and internal or
gans in a mans body.
In speaking Of this wonderful dis
coyery well-known New York phy-
stefan recently said: eff thousands of
people who are walking the streets
to-day and attending to business
could only see q photograph Of their in
ternal organs, they would be filed
with alarm and dread They would see
their liver and kidneys clogged with
impurities and their blood filled with
deadly secretions which poison the
whole system. They would see these
delicate organs slowly but surely Civ
ing way under this corroding poison
ing influence. Oh, what an effect such
81 picture would have"
The doctor is perfectly right. but
at the same time there are thousands
OF people who need no photograph to
tell them that there is something wrong
with their health. They know that
| they do not feel as well as they ought
to feel. They complain Of tired feel
Ings, nervousness, headaches, back
aches, stomach troubles, constipation
and dull, heavy sensations. They feel
miserable, but do not know why they
suffer. is only the skilled physician
who knows that these symptoms are
all caused by the liver and kidneys be-
ing out Of order. When these great or
gans of the body fail to act properly
the health speedily breaks down.
1T was a knowledge of this important
fact that led to one of the greatest dis
coveries Of modern times For long
years, the brightest men in the medi-
cal profession sought for a remedy
which would cure all these derange-
| ments of the liver and Kidneys, and at
last they succeeded in finding it. This
great remedy, which has proved bless
ing to thousands, is Warmers Safe Cure,
a remedy that to-day. is known and
honored all over the world. No other
remedy has ever equaled it for making
weak, rundown people feel strong
and we'll 1t is universally admitted
to be the safest and best remedy for
curing every form of liver and kidney
disease. 1t puts an end to stomach
troubles, purifes and enriches the
blood and restores lost vitality.
The great Safe Cure is not an expert
ment. 1T has beeA in use for over TWEEN
ty years and has been the means of
saving millions of lives. 1t is the only
remedy prescribed by the worlds lead
ing physicians. No other remedy COM
pares with it for building up the sys-
tenn and imparting new life to every
part of the body.

BOARD or ALDERMEN MEETS.

MIR. Sales Salary Raised to $6O--No
Back Taxes to be Paid Stevenson
Must Fight Out His Case Against the
City.
The Board of Aldermen held their
regular meeting last night. The Street
Committee submitted its annual re-
port, which shows fine progress and a
large conception of the work. 1T will
be later referred to.
The fire committee reported that
rubber boots had been bought for the
Victor company and gratings had been
put in the windows OF the new fire
house.
The Board Of Charities reported that
not complaint had been received un-
der the new system of city physicians
and prescriptions. The report of DIR.
+. ~. Niece, Jr., and DR.. g. A. Rem,
The city physicians, was submitted,
DIR. Everett said that the physicians
had attended every call they had re-
ceiyed, and had given the proper treat
ment, and that less than ten dollars
worth of medicine had been used dur
ing the month.
Alderman Boushall offered a petit
ton from T. Z. Sale, Sanitary Inspec-
tor, stating that as his duties had
been increased SO that he superintend-
ed the street cleaning and lighting,
etc, he asked for an increase from
$50 to $50. The cleaning Of the streets
has been added to the sanitary depart
ment. The increase was unanimously
granted.
Alderman Boushall presented a COM
munication from Mr.. L. II. Hill pro-
testing against what he considered too
high valuation of his lot. The val
uation was asked to be reduced from
$500 to 800. There are several OF these
cases. The whole matter was referred
to the finance committee for action.
Alderman Johnson presented two or
TIRES eases of alleged oyer-charge of
taxes in past years. Mr.. Johnson was
not in favor of going back into these
matters; if they once let down the
gap, there would be no end to it.
Alderman Boushall stated that it
was ruling of the State Department
and the Auditors office that when a
tax had been collected and appropriate
ed there was no means Of refunding
it.
Alderman DreSry moved that the
Board refuse to take cOgnizance of
back taxes. The motion prevailed.
The license of Adams and Harris,
liquor dealers, was changed to G. +. J.
Goodwin.
City Attorney Holding presented to
the Board the case Of Stevenson, who
sues the city for $500. Stevenson stuck
nail In his foot and was wounded. He
offered to compromise now for $50. In
these cases the only question is as to
the negligence of the city. He alleges
IN fhe complaint that he was disabled
for eleven days." said the attorney.
Alderman Robinson: Whats the
city got to do with the man sticking
his nail ia his foot?"
Alderman Johnson said there was
no telling what d jury or judge would
decide, and he thought it best to keep
out Of the courthouse, If possible. He
moved that the fifty dollars be paid.
Mayor Russ stated that Stevenson
was not in the city. and that fine was
now on hooks against him.
The motion Of Mr.. johnson was with
drawn.
So, Stevenson viii have to fight out
his case.

teristic. Ill is heathenish. 1T contains
no terms to express the spiritual life.
One Of the first things to do is to chris
tianize the language. But the matter
of language is only an incident.
The seefhing mass of heathenish
darkness that confronts the missiona-
~ Is the greatest difficulty. This is
what breaks down the health, not the
climate. And what makes even this
worse IS the want of sympathy and
interest among the christians at home.
On the other hand the. cases OF gen
uine, undoubted conversion, produced
bv the spirit of God, and
transforming or rather transfiglr-
ing the lives of the converts
IS the hopeful side of this picture.
We should plan for the conversion OF
these people, but not for them alone.
we should take worldwide view. Paul
took such view, and planned accord
ingly.
The central idea here is that when
a soul is regenerated it is made mis-
sionary in spirit. That truth acted
on will lead to the conversion of the
world. There are no foreign missions.
Home and foreign are the same thing.
Begin on the next man should be the
rule. The condition of the home work
in many places is in evidence that the
spirit Of missions is lacking. The
mountain whites, particularly, in Ken
lucky, are in great need of the gospel,
and of ciyilizating influences. The
speaker drew graphic picture Of the
scenes of ignorance and vice he had
seen on a trip through the mountains,
and of the pressing need for effort
there as well as in Japan and in China.

dwells in that instrument. Messrs.
