Sufferers from this horrible rnalady
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
he trst little sore or nicer makes its ap-
Pearance-or Z swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part OF the body,

To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage

IS the only medicine that can reach deep

TO WRITE HISTORY
Judge PoStIethwaite in the City
for That Purpose.
SUSPECT, MASONIC HOME
Building May Be Enlarged
Very Materially

It is likely that extensive improve
ments will be made in the Masonic Home
within short time. Judge Pouethwaite
Of Jewell county, secretary Of the Ma
sonic Home board arrived in the city last
night, and while he would not say that
any improvements were contemplated he
admitted that they were very necessary,
as the home is getting crowded.
Judge Postethwaite win remain in the
city for several days gathering data for
a history Of the home, which he viii issue
In lot Of 10000 TO begin with. 1t win
also include statictics and viii be very
complete His board viii issue the his
tory free to the officers OF subordinate
lodges in order 10 enlighten the craft
generally as TO the wonderful work that
the home is accom- lishing for aged Ma
sons and dependent children Of 1Iasons.
Very few of the Masons OF the state thor
oughly comprehen how wisely they acted
In establishing the home, especially in
establishing il here. At the present time
they could sell the grounds alone for
more than double what the place cost
them, including the magnificent home
which adorns 1t.
Judge Posuethwaite is one of the most
enthusiastic friends Of the home and it
was very fitting that he should have
been selected TO write its history. for
the writer who can do justice 10 such
noble institution must have his heart in
the cause which it represents.
There are now fifty-nine inmates in the
home, including nearly twenty children.
Yesterday a former beneficiary of the
home, a girl growing INTO womanhood.
visited the building and addressed the
children in a manner that was very i'm
b pressive. She recfted 60 them the story
OF her life and how well she became fitted
there for the battle of life after she was
able TO do for herself. It IS said that
young and old alike shed tears as she
recapitulated the moral lessons taught
her 10y Masonic charity.
Judge Postlethwaite was also deeply
impressed with the story he heard from
the matron of the last hours Of the late
Mr.. Semple in the home. He died with
Its eulogies on his lips.
The present manager Of the home had
been a professional decorator before com
Ing here and it is saiG that the interior
of the building LOOKS like one of the fairy
castles one reads of III medieval romance.
The home aid not suffer the hardshiDs
that other places suffered during the
year. For instance, the orchard did not
seriously suffer from the midsummer
drouth. This is evidenced more impress
sively by the fact that 800 cans OF home
grown fruit We're put away for the win
Tor. the biggest record yet made i'm that
line
= reporter for the EagIe obtained Il
from reliable authority last night that
the usefulness OF the home as a factor
In practical Masonic charity has become
so apparent TO the grand lodge that a
handsome appropriation viii be made al
the next meeting TO Increase its capac-
ity to maybe double its present size.

East Indian NabObs.

The possessions of some of the Indian
maharajahs are food for fun as well as
wonderment sometimes. There is one of
the richest rajahs who has passion for
acquiring things in bulk, and during his
visit to England he astonished some of
the tradespeople by ordering whole show
cases of jewels or silver, sometimes a
whole trayful of toothbrushes or win
dowful of various scented soaps. In art
also his purchases were equally expan-
sive, and on one occasion he was so
charmed with picture that he ordered it
to be copied three times so that he might
have one hanging on each wall of his
favorite room.
But perhaps the most extraordinary
order which was ever given or under
taken was that for two dressing bags.
one the exact duplicate Of the other. and
each of such an enormous size that the
two together were camefs load. They
were made of the ordinary brown leather.
but inside they were most luxuriously
mounted, and they cost 5000 apiece.

Made Him Take His Medicine.

On good authority soldiers like best
TO be differed by gentlemen, but they
have their choice of the type. OF the
right kind was General Crawford, the
leader of the Light division.
An incident in his career during one
of the Wellington wars shows him 10
have been rich in that Justice which
commands respect from equals and 10y
atty from interiors. In word. he kept
discipline without regard to rank.
His division was crossing a ford on
one of the Spanish marches. and an
officer, 10 keep his breeches dry, rode
through on a soldiers back. Crawford
observed the thing with disgust and in
a minute was splashing through the
water after them both.
Put him down, sir" he shouted.
Put him down! | desire you 10 put
that officer down instantly"
The soldier dropped his burden and
went on.
Return back. sir" Crawford said to
the officer. and go through the water
like the others. | will not allow my Of
ficers to ride upon the mems backs

share alike here."-Youtb's Companion.

Comforting Thoughts.

Christian brother, is the way dark
and rugged? Have you lost heart and
hope because of the disappointments
ana sorrows that, like poisoned arrows,
wound and distress you: Remember
that He who gave His life for you trod
every step of life's toilful road, and re-
member that He Careth for you; that
not an event occurs in your life without
His knowledge; that there can come 10
You no sorrow that may not help 10
round and polish and perfect your char
acter and more abundantly qualify you
for citizenship in that city whose build
er and maker is God, and where nc
earthly i'll can ever come. Comfort
yourself with such thoughts as these,
but more especially covet the constant
cOmpanionship Of the Spirit that bring
eth peace.-Central Christian Advocate.
