Mrs. Mary E. Lease. in discussing Q
the great food at Guthrie, Okla

God, and declares that the curse of
the Almighty rests On that land.
The people down there had been
praying for rain for weeks, but they
wanted good gentle shower and
not deluge. Mrs. Lease saws, oIf
God had been pleased with the peo
pie, would He have washed awsy
their homes with an angry food,
when they asked in their prayers for
shower to save their cropse" If
Mrs. Leases theory i correct in the
Oklahoma disaster, then the hand of
the Almighty is in the flood that is
devastating the South land; the fam

Lease has been q failure in 50 manv

II IS mothers duty to crown her child
with that greatest blessing any human being
can possess good health This she can
only do by taking proper care of herself
prlor to the child's birth, and especially
during the period Of CESSATION. Too few
women realize the importance Of their own
health. Too few understand that the health
OF their children is dependent upon the
vigor and health of the organs of reproduc-
ton. a woman who is to become a mother

the most important and delicate organs of
her body.

Their Ministers Report Unfavoraby Of the
Army's Condition.
London, May 5-An Athens cor
respondent says the Ministers of
War and of the Interior have return
ed from Phsrsalos and made their
report to the Cabinet It is under
stood that as result of their inquiry
the war will be discontinued.
The difficulty of saying what has
actually occurred at the seat of war
continues, but the presumption from
the known facts of the military stu
alton is that Edhem Pasha is feeling
the Greek position at Pbarsalos,
preparatory to delivering a general
attack. Edhem Pasha's repeated
assault on the wings of the Greek
formation have probably the object
of compelling Prince Constantine to
81 nd them reinforcements, and thus
weaken his center at Pharsalos. It
is expected that Edhem Pasha has
struck hard at this weakened point.
1t looks as though Greece were
giving up the game in Crete and the
position of Colonel Vassos as making
for peace, and is apparently the first
step in that direction.
Greece may thus regain the friend
ship of the powers, who have always
stipulated this amende before using
their good Offices at Constantinople
The appointment of . nominal sue
cessor to Col Vassos is undoubtedly
orly blind to allay popular pro-
tests
