Persia is about fourteen times
the size of the state of Pennsylva-
MIA, and lies in the southwestern
part of Asia. It's population,
however, is only about one half
more than Pennsylvania, owing
to the fact that much of it's area
is a desert. About one-third of
the population consists of wan
dering shepherds. The country
lies about a thousand miles north
east of Palestine, and Charley
will be about ten thousand miles
from home.
The city to which Mr.. Pittman
goes, contains population of
from $50, to 10000.
Persia is one of the Oldest
countries in the world; and it was
within it's borders, that many of
the Incidents of the Old Testa-
ment occurred. The religion of
the people now is principally Mo
hammedan, and the government
despotic-the lives and property
of the subjects being in the
hands of the ruler called "Shah. {"
Although Mr.. Pittman is but Il
young man of 26, he has spent
about nine years of his time and
more than two thousand five hun.
dred dollars to prepare himself
to go to those people, carry to
them the Bible, and tell them the
story of the cross. He has dedi-
Gated his life and talents to this
work, and all the remuneration
he is promised in this world, is
his expenses.
He is a graduate of Easton
Academy, of the classical course
in Layfaette College, and Of
Princeton Seminary. In addition
he took two years special
course in Philosophy at Prince
ton.
At the close of his first year in
college he was chosen with others
to represedt the Lafayette Col
lege Y. NJ. c. A. at a Conference
for college students conducted by
Mr.. Moody at his home in North
field, Massachusetts
At this conference the subject
Of Foreign Missions was made
the most prominent theme, The
Student Volunteer Movement

volunteering to go to the foreign
field
Mr.. Pittman was impressed
with the facts that there was "a
great disproportion between the
number of ministers in the home
land and in the foreign field, and
that all souls are equally precious
in Gods sight, no matter what
color the persons possessing
them may be, and that all have an
equal claim upon the Gospel and
an equal right to it; andl especial
ly, that the Gospel was not given
to the Auglo Saxon race to keep
to themselves, but that over eigh-
teen hundred years ago Christ

Movement which reads: at is
my purpose, if God permits, to
be a missionary;" and during the
six years since that has been his
one purpose,
An applicant for appointment
by the Presbyterian Board of
Foreign Missions is required to
do four things
First, he is required to answer
a list of questions regarding his
ply ysical, mental and spiritual
qualifications for missionary ser.
vice.
Second TO write Il letter to the
Board describing his religious
experience and experience in
Christian work.
Third, to give sthe names and
addresses of eight persons, in.
cluding two college professors,
two seminary professors, home
pastor and personal friends from
whom the Board can get informa-
tion concerning the applicant, and
fourth, to undergo u physical ex,
animation by the family physician
or a physician chosen by the
Board
After this process is complet-
ed the Board often knows more
about the applicant than his own
pastor or personal friends who
have known him from childhood.
The fact that some pious young
man or woman desires to be a
missionary gives no assurance
that he or she will beaccepted by
the Board. Only about one
fourth of the applicants this year
were accepted.
The Board of Foreign Miss ions
in the Presby terian church is
composed of twenty-one mem,
bers, eleven ministers and ten
laNmen, residing in or near New
York City.
These members meet twice u
month and decide all important
questions concerning missionary
work. They receive no conpen-
sation for their services.
The Board employs five secre-
taries who give their whole time
to the work of the Board and re-
ceive salaries.
Rev Thomas Marshall, d. d., is
Field Secretary, Rev. A. Wood
ruff Halsey, D. d., is Home Sec
retary and devotes his time to
the increase of interest and the
spread of information on the
subject of Foreign Missions in
the home churches.
The missionaries ON the Field
are divided among the other three
secretaries who act as the me-
dium of communication between
the missionaries and the Board
at home, and who correspond
with the missionaries individually
as well as with the stations. The
seven hundred and forty eight
missionaries Of churches keep
these secretaries busy.
The salary Of a missionary re-
presents the actual cost of living
in the country to which he goes.
The salary of a married mission
airy in Persia is SS5000; a single
man, two-thirds, and a single
woman, one half of this sum.
The expenses of a missionary
going to the field or coming home
on regular furlough or at the per
mission of the Board are paid by
the Board. All the missionaries
going out this year for the first
time will be supported by some
church or Young Peoples Society,
The church which will support

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also Few Facts ON the same
Subject.

We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vegetar-
ianisrn and many other fads along the
same line.
Restaurants may be found in the larger
cities where no meat. pastry or coffee IS
served and the food crank Is in his glory,
and arguments and theories galore adj

tors who lived four score years in robust

Our forefathers had other things 10 do
than formulate theories about the food
ed TO any kind from bacon 10 acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides TO follow in matters
OF diet, and mixed diet o. grains, fruits
and meats Is undoubtedly the best.
AS compared with grains and vegeta-
bles. meat furnishes the most nutriment
Ia a highly concentrated form, and is d.
gested and Is assimiiated more quickly
than vegetables and grains.
DIR. Julius Remmson on this subject
says. Nervous persons. people run down

may be, no trouble VIII be experienced II
a regular practice is made of using Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, because they
supply the pepsin and diastase necessary
to perfect digestion. and every form OF
indigestion will be overcome by their
use.
That large class OF people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics

Dyspepsia in all It's many forms is
