During my term of service l contracted
chronic diarrhoea. Since then I have
used great amount of medicine, but
when found any that would give me rerl

in recommending this preparation to all
of my old comrades, who, while giving
their services 10 their country, contracted
this dreadful disease as did, from eating
unwholesome and uncooked food. Yours,

ABLAzE WITH RICHNESS.

Georgeousness characterized the gowns
worn last evening in the ball room scene
of the new comedy, "The Artists Model
Forty of these magnificent costumes seen
at one time made bewildering disn'" 7
and one which will be difficult to equal:
Not only are these gowns specimens OF
foreign art, but are SO deliberately hnish-,
ed with silk Innings and lace trimmed
flounces that they could not be better
made for q debutante. They are eX-
quisite and are models of the prevailing
mode in London ball gowns.
Miss Nellie Stewards dresses are par
ticularly handsome. In the first act she
wore a heavy white silk brocaded with
punches of bright colored flowers. The
skirt is plain and very full. A waist made
of white tulle has long sleeves, with large
puffs across the front, and over the
shoulders is band of pearl iridescent
embroidery.
A wide, rose colored sash belts the
waist and falls in wide streamers to the
bottom of the skirt. A hat of exagger-
ated size of white felt, is burdened with
white ostrich plumes, and at the back
are immense buches of flowers, which
match the colors of those in the skirt.

LARGE MEMBERSHIPS

of very large memberships, though none
of them much over 1000. But in Europe
the churches boast of many more mem
bers than this-2O00 being as a rule but
fair-sized congregation. There is one
church. in st. Petersburg numbering near
ly 5000 souls. The largest membership,
perhaps, in the world is that of a church
in Elterfield, in Rhenish Prussia, which
has over 5000. The congregation has six
pastors and two churches, while third
church is in course of erection. Several
members of the famous Krummachel
family of preachers have been pastors at
that church.

THE Gospel. IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Fifty years ago Professionalism was an
unknown quantity in South America.
When it first began to make it's influence
felt it was received with scorn. Pro-
testants were especially hated. Business
and professional men of that church were
boycotted by the natives. The work of
face, of the strongest opposition. 1t was
almost impossible to rent a house for re-
ligious purposes. Today churches may be
built almost everywhere throughout the
continent. Gospel work is encouraging,
especially in Chill and Brazil Ecuador is
about the only country as yet influenced
by Gospel agencies. The chief difficulty
that the missionaries encounter is the
condition of the people themselves. But
even this obstacle is fast being overcome
by the establishment of mission schools
Mt every available point.

Is Stealing Theft Z

There are several people in this
town who do not appear to think
SO. If man buys carload of
coal for his own use these people
seem to think that they have per-
feet right to levy very heavy
toll in kind upon it, and if it stands
on the car a few days tho shrinkage
will amount to a ton or two. They
also levy toll on coal cars that hap
pen to stop hero in transitu. If
they merely picked up the coal that
is dropped from tho cars there
would bo no objection, but some of
them climb upon the cars and throw
off big Jumps. Now in morals and
in law this is just as much steal
ing as it would be to go to the coal
house OF cellar of the owner and
take the coal from thence. IT
parents teach their children, by
precept and example to steal from
coal cars they must not be astonish-
ed if the children profit by the
lessons thus learned and help
themselves to anything else that
they may happen to want, espe
cially if they think the owner has a
pretty good supply. The practice
ought to be stopped. 1t is cduca-
ting the young to thievcry. 1t is a
wrong to tho owners of the coal.
The only reason for it's continuance
is that it furnishes some people
with what fuel they want without
the trouble of paying for it,

CIGARETTES.

They are SO small, so cheap,
and innocent looking that wise
indeed is the boy who does not
yield to the temptation and fall,
then gradually awake to the aw-
full fact that his nerves are shat
tered, his eyesight failing, COM
pleXion sallow, heart beats ir-

He becomes sullen and pevish, n

asylum or the occupant of an un-
timely grave.
Boys, whatever you do, don't
smoke cigaretts. Live for a pur-
pose, you may not be great but
you can be good and true, a COM
fort to your friends, a blessing to
society, and finally receive the
commentator of "wcll done,

A good deal has been said
about cigarcttesmoking, but one
half the truth has never been
told so writes DIR. @. A. Clinton,
of the San Francisco Board of
Education, and he goes on to say
calmly and deliberately that he
believed cigarette smoking is as
bad habit as opium smoking,
that is among boys, remember.
The effect on grown men is of
course not so marked, SO there
fore, boys, do not form the vile
habit.
