and we were pleased to find them en-
joylng the spirit Of the Gospel so well
our sympathy goes out to them on ac-
count OF the trying circumstances in
which they are placed. We had heard
that their enemies had sworn to Kill
any Elders who came there again. But
we made II a matter Of earnest prayer
and were permitted TO come and go In
peace. We had the pleasure of baptiz-
ing six persons and blessing four chill
dren. That makes thirteen members
in that section.
While here Elder Jack divided
the state into two conferences, viz; the
Eastern and the Western. Elder

lnsuring Workingmen.

The German government provides
a system of compulsory insurance
for working men. Under this sys-
tenn a workman 20 years of age pays
an equivalent of DO cents week for
three years, and at the age of 65 he
receives the sum Of $77, in the mean
time having had an insurance against
accidents. The annual premium is
divided into three parts, one of which
is paid by the workman, another by
his employer, and the third by the
state. The report for 1896 shows
that 18,389,000 persons were insured
under the law, of whom 3,409,000
were employees in shops and factories,
12,290,000 were employed in agricul-
ture and 100000 were in the employ
of the state. In that year the number
of accidents was 1887, of which 6,
448 terminated fatally. The total

Food That Makes Brains.

According to celebrated health
expert, blanched almonds give the
higher nerve or brain and muscle
food, and the man who wishes to keep
his brain power up would, do well to
include them in his daily bill of fare
Juicy fruits give more or less the
higher nerve or brain, and are eaten
by all men whose living depends on
their clear-headc1ness. Apples sup
ply the brain with rest. Prunes af-
ford proof against nervousness, but
are not muscle feeding. They should
be avoided by those who suffer from
the liver But it has been proved
that fruits do not have the same effect
upon everybody. Some men have
never been able to eat apples without

Others, strawberries are like poison.
