Keeps the fumes from rising to the brain.

gospel 30 that fair, populous but
idoiatrous land, and the success
from a financial standpoint was
very gooG and liberal contribu-

October 18th, for the United
States with q view of building a
soap works here. Lever Bros,
Ltd. have thc largest soap works
in the world ct Port Sunlight,
opposite Liverpool, England.
This factory, including the model
village for the workmen which is
connected with it, covers an area
of ia acres, and has capacity
Of 300 tons CT soap per week.
The capital Of the company is ten
million dollars, fully paid in, and
1T employs over $500 persons
There IS no reason why the pro-
| jected works in this country
should not become in time as
! large IS the English factory. The
reason for the decision TO builC
here IS III the new tariff law
which has doubled the duty OF
| laundry soaps.
The principal product of the com
paDy is Sunlight Soap, a laundr,
isoap which formerly paid 25 cent
per case duty. The Dingley bii

Gambler.

The Gambler Academy opened
on Monday, the 4th, with small
but bright and energetic set Of
students. These will use all their
energies to make the little seed
fall upon good ground, spring up,
and bring forth much fruit.
The classical course to be stud
led here is much the same as that
of any other college, and there
are also normal and business
courses which some are taking.
A German class was organiz-
ed on Monday last, delayed thus
long on account of not having the
proper books which arrived on
Saturday.
The remarkable efficiency of
DIR. Farris in explaining away
difficulties, enabled the class of
five, all of whom save one had
never used a German word be-
fore, and that one very little, to
read at the first lesson a page of
solid German and understand
every word of it, without one
word Of English being spoken
during its recitation. In three
months the students expect to be
able to carry on an ordinary con-
versation entirely in German.
The class in geometry is pro
greSsing with equal success and
advanced college algebra is stud
led with much interest.
Three new students are expect
ed in a short while and we earn
estly hope that many more will
see the advantage OF this rare
opportunity and add their num-
bcr 70 the list.
: The citizens Of Gambler mean
to lend their aid in every way
within their power to send the
| academy forward with a cheer.
