For every disease in which an external rom

almost as matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment ara
either exasperatingly slow or have Il good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumhago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,

Capsicum, Strengthening and Bclladonna
Piasters have none of the curative virtues
of Bensons. More than 5000 physicians

Despite the severe weather Of NJ N
day night, nearly all the members Of
the Mems club attended the meeting
held at Prof G. S. Platt's. The liter
airy program was very interesting and
instructive as it dealt with the acqui-
sition of territory to the United
States from the II original colonies.
Prof Platt handled Florida in good
shape and showed the Florida of 1883
to be much larger than the state now
bearing that name. The Louisiana
purchase was next taken up by Rev G..
T. Linsley, and it's value to the Union
was well defined. Most of the states
of the middle west were made from
this territory. Texas was next in
Ofder, ana j. }. NOrtnrOp showed the
extent of this vast strip and the nu-
merOus disputes over it's boundary.
The Mexican war was touched upon as
a result of it's annexation. The pur-
chase of Alaska was in charge of p Fl i.
Mccarthy. The incident of its dis
cOvery and it's wonderful resources in
fish, timber and fur were noted.
Porto Rico was next taken up by r. II.
Beers, who showed the value of the
island to the United States. California
was in charge of ID. G. Peck, who han
died it in an able manner. Rev O. w.
Barker was last, with the Philippines,
and he showed the manner by which
they became a part of Uncle Sans
domain. The battle of Manila on May
l, 1898, in which Admiral Dewey
distinguished himself, was touched
upon. AS showing the develop
ment of the Biographies and changes
in the United States f. L. johnson
exhibited a geography used by his
mother. 1t was published by p. Potter
in 1918. He also had a geography con-
tanning maps, printed along in the
FORTRESS which showed the middle
western states as 1.-THE great desert. -
In contrast with these quaint and i'm
perfect books he showed one OF the
modern Biographies of the day, models
of the typographical art and the tex
up-tO-date in every respect.
