We would like to look into the pleasant
face of some one who has never had any de-
rangement of the digestive organs. We see
the drawn and unhappy faces of dyspeptics in
every walk of life. IL 70 our national disease,
and nearly all complaints spring from this
work is done.
Dyspeptics and pale. thin people are literally
starving, because they don't digest their food.
Consumption never develops III people of ro-
bust and normal digestion. Correct the vast
ing and loss OF flesh and we cure the disease.
Do this with food.

ready digested food and is digester of food at
the same time. Its effects are felt at once

known lineman OF the Hartford Telephone
Company had very narrow escape from
death on Friday. lie was engaged in helping
to erect pole in Hayre de Grace and while
using pike the pole suddenly slipped and
fell to the ground. Mr.. Martin, who was
under it when it fell, was thrown violently TO
the ground and badly bruised. He soon re-
covered however. When the crash occurred
the cross-arm almost grazed Mr.. Martins
head. An inch or two further and death must
have resulted.

Girl RiIIen by a Mad DOG.

Emma j. Hackett the fourteen-year old
daughter of Mr.. John s. Hackett, farmer
residing near Vale, about three miles from
Bel Air, was terribly bitten by dog, suppos-
ed to be mad, about dark on Monday evening.
The child had been to tue barn, milking, and
was returning to the house carrying two
buckets Of milk, and was in the act Of sitting
them down when a large black dog sprang
suddenly npon her and fastened its teeth
upon her upper lip, almost severing it from
her face. Mr.. Hackett secured a revolver and
fired at the animal, but it escaped in the dark
ness, and ran into the woods. 1t is reported
as having bitten several other dogs and made
attacks upon Mr.. John Shaughnessy and
others.
Dr. j. Camp Butler was called at once, and
advised that Miss Hackett should be taken

A large audience attended Simpson

the sermon by the Rev. Dwight c. Han

the wonderful reception the Christian
Endeavorers had received and then
turned 10 his subject, the eighth psalm.
He said that as his train was carrying
him with his Christian Endeavor corl-
panions across the continent to the grea
convention at San Francisco, while
speeding along they were inspired by the
scenery that spread out before them all;
and the multitude and myriads of flow
ers that grow everywhere in this won
derful climate.
Everywhere we turn. continued the
speaker. the immensely of space con-
fronts u.s. and no wonder the almist
exclaimed: What is man that Thou are
mindful of him?" Yet when we st udy
this psalm we find that the psalmist was
not belittling man. but showing his
greatness; for he was created only lit
tie lower than the angels We were
made after Gods image and endowed
with Gods faculties.
The power to love-tlie greatest star
which God has created, is not to be ccm-
pared to man, whose capabilities are I'M
measurable. Man was not made for the
world, but the world for man. and every
thing has been put under his feet. We
have lost our citizenship with God, and
there is no glory present or prospective
for the man who has lost his kingship
with God. Yet you are Gods and he has
created you for His glory.

FOR CUBA LIBRE
Eloquent Appeal of the Woman's Ma
tional Cuban League

Q
The following address has been issued
from the headquarters at Washington
Of the Woman's National Cuban league
To the Mothers, Wives and Daughters
of MISUNDERSTANDING:
Learning with grief and dismay of the
suffering and torture experienced by the
women and children of Cuba at the
hands of the cruel and dastardly Span
iard-who wreaks his lust and brutality
upon helpless womanhood, who seeks to
stamp out patriotism ard love of liberty
by starvation, who inflicts his cowardly
vengeance upon the sick and dying, who
deals out in the very presence of the
heartbroken mother her little daughter
to be defiled by human fiends-to be
slowly but surely tortured to death at
the hands of the Spanish soldiery-
knowing all this, we, the wives and
daughters of this blessed land of the
free, mothers of happy children, pro-
tected and shielded by law and order,
in the safety of our own unpolluted fire.
sides, raise our voices to ask the help
and cooperation Of our sister women
in every state In the union. that in the
name of outraged womanhood, in the
name of oppressed humanity, all will
join US that we may. as far as lies in our
power alleviate the woes of these un-
happy souls in Cuba, who cry aloud to
us for succor.
Believing in the God-given rights OF
freedom and the rights of Cuba to re-
sist the tyranny of Spain. knowing her
heroic struggle. her deathless valor, her
determination to conquer or die, we
make this appeal.
With pity and Indignation we have
learned from the testimony of eye-wit-
nesses Of the horrors OF the inquisition
that have been revived by Spain, and
we, in the name Of God and humanity
ask the pity, prayers aid and assistance
Of every woman in America, for the re-
lief Of these women and children, and
for the freedom and independence OF
Cuba, now and forever!
Her immediate needs are many She
needs bread for her starving, clothes fol
her naked, hospitals and supplies for
her sick and dying and protection for
her nurses and physicians, ministerins

How Humanity at It's Best Can Be
Developed

The pastor, ]. S. Thomson. preached
sermon on How to Save the Christ,
using the text. '"They awoke him. and he
rebuked the wind. and there was a calm
Luke viii, "a.
We have to save the things that save
us. We cannot live without air water,
food, but we have to save these things
from impurities in order that they may
sustain our lives in health and strength.
Our houses save US from the inclemen-
cles of the weather; but we must keep
our houses In repair If we wish to be
comfortable In them. Our country. state.
city, schools and homes are great factors
Of our civilization. They must be saved
from corruption, acknowledgement. favor
tsm and public indifference. Religion
and morality, the chief supports of our
civilization, have been corrupted with
false creeds, vain speculat ions and pagan
doctrines; and 1t is these falsehoods
which prevent the progress of the gospel.
1t Is true, also, that God Is lost to many
souls, because they were brought up in
error, and because they discovered the
errors and were carried away on morbid
reactions from religion. The only way
to save God to these unfortunate souls
is to explain his manifestations accord
ing to reason, console nee and love, and to
persuade them to study Christ's gospel
and example without prejudice. Christ
needs to be saved from the metaphys-
cal dogmas, insane prejudices and
pompous assumptions of denominational
hierarchies and mad skeptics. Christ
must be fully restored to his own divine
gospel before he can save the world
Christ is the only force which can cave
our country from all of its terrible cor
ruptions in politics, commerce, finance
and the courts. The churches are not
free from polluting influences. The rea-
son that our country is now suffering
from many Ills is this-the pulpits have
not preached the true Christ, who said
IF be lifted up will draw all men unto
me-" There is not denomination in the
land that has lifted Christ up into his
glorious place. He has been exhibited to
the people as a heather god, and not ac
cording to his own representations of
himself and of his gospel. We need the
Christ who came from his Father in
heaven, and we do not need the useless
Christ of the dark ages. The Christ of
the dark ages has been tried for many
centuries, and he has been found want
ing. The standard of the Decalogue has
not been reached by our civilization, and
surely Christ intended that his followers
should reach a higher standard than
that, high and glorious as it is. The
spirituality of human nature is divinity.
God is spirit, we are spirits; and spirit
is the only divinity in the universe. We
must save this Christ in human nature,
just as our Master saved it in his day.
Christ represented humanity at its best,
and he showed how it can be developed
and saved

death is birth and birth is death.
