Bishop Hartzell delivered long ad-

other nations regarding the sale of in
toxicating liquors in Africa. He stat
ed that the church was endeavoring TO
oolonlze the NATIVES and that the sell

had done much to debase them.

A Useful ORGANIZATION.

Kind Words.
1t is reported that there exists in
Chicago an organization known as the
Boosters. The motto of this organizs-
ton Is something like this: at you
can't say something good of a man,
don't say anything" The purpose OF
the members Is to build things up, and
not to destroy. This motto his II it
not only sr admonition, but piece of
philosophy Of great value. We wish
the order OF the Boosters might be-
como widespread, and lis motto at least
become general principle OF c5nduct.
Why is it that we do so much like to
talk about the bad in other fo.ks?
There is certainly some coed in them,
and If not there is little use iii talking
about the bad unless we cesirs to pro-
nounce the condemnation ct that per
son and Danish him from our com pam
ionship. Some of US know how certain
cities gain In reputation through the
"boosting" OF its citizens, who can new
or tire of singing Its praises, while If
other cities folks are always finding
fault. Who does not know which city
grows and thTives the best? It is so
with people. We can help Or hinder
them, and sweeten or sour ourselves,
all by what we say or don't say. VI
course, We cannot shut our eyes to the
bad, but we can open them to the go'd,
and when 1t comes to talking we can
talk about the good, and not the bad

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible 1na1ady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or q swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part OF the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma
aent1y all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
If it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs: Shirer shows:

below the ear on the left side of my face. It gave

In examining the fashions that have
prevailed during the nineteenth cen
tury one is struck by the fact that there
have been more changes in this hum
dred years than during any similar
period of time in the worli's history.
The dawn of the nineteenth century
saw men in costumes that differed
but slightly from those that had been
worn for generations, but almost i'm
mediately these fashions underwent a
change and since that time mans dress
has been growing steadily more sedate.
At the beginning of the century men
We're just on the point Of discarding
their wigs that had been worn for so
many years. At this time to wear a
wig was a sign of respectability, and
there Were few persons who dared to
set themselves in opposition to this
custom. These wigs were Of many
kinds and shapes. In some the ends
were plated in a pigtail. in others the
ends were thrust into a black silk bag
and the dandies of the period wore
'toupee" of curls raised high over the
forehead.
Another indication of responsibility
at this time was the wearing Of knick-
erbockers. At the time of Washing
tons Inauguration as President this
form of garment was so common among
the gentry that Jefferson was charged
with being a "demagogue" because he
insisted upon wearing pantaoons. The
