And yet we wonder that the stomach ''gives

under the strain of careless eating and
irregular meals it can be perfectly and
permanently restored to health and strength

The Railroads and the Chicago Live
Stock Show.

An official of the G. b. & @. was asked
recently why his road took such an in
terest In the international Live Stock
Exhibit which is to be held In Chicago,
November 80 to December z.
''It is very simple" was the answer.
During 1900 our line brought into Chicago
6l2, 900 head of cattle, and their estimated
weight was 734, 100000 pounds. Now
suppose by interesting the farmers from ali
over our 5000 miles of road, they come to
the live stock show, see the splendid
exhibts-the largest and finest In the world
realize the difference between high grades
and scrubs, see the extravaganza of putting
good feed into poor stock, and so by encour-
aging them TO breed better animals, which
when fat would weigh 10 per cent more
than the old sort, 1t is plain that our tonnage
on this class of freight would be increased
to the extent of 7s,440, 900 pounds. An
item of considerable Importance. The
annual live stock exhibition at Chicago is a
big thing for the country, the farmers al d
the railroads. Don't forget that for a

The forthcoming (November) Atlantic
will print an important paper on the tw)
overshadowing international questions,
Reciprocity and the Monroe Doctrine.
America, always passively disliked, has
now evidently become a most threatening
question to European diplomats. How can
our recent inroad into industrial aud
financial Europe be met or be counteracteo?
win reciprocity treaties accomplish this
end, and how long will Europe tolerate or
enforcement Of the Monroe Doctrine, which
they look upon as dog in the manger
policy, believing that we will neither absorb
South America ourselves nor permit Europe
to do so.
All these questions, and many others
equally vital and important, flowing from
them or connected with them, are dis
cussed in paper entitled Europe and
America, and contributed by Sidney
Brooke.

Appeal to the Churches.

A call has been Issued to the Christian
churches OF the country TO set aside the week
beginning November l0,as u week OF prayer,
and the National Central Committee OF the
Twentieth Century National Gospel Cam
paign has appealed TO all ministers to help
them In this movement. The committees
appeal, which Is signed by William Phillips
Hall, of New York, says:
"We call attention TO the need of an
evangelstlc reformation of the entire church
of Christ in order to the evangellza,ioh of
all the unsaved. The churches have barely
held their own for the past five years, as
shown by the records. The present
methods Of evaDgeliza;ion have proven in
sufficient to meet the needs of the case,
and cons6 quently, additional and extraor-
binary methods must be adopted for the ac-
ter must realize the imperative necessity
for bis engaging In eyangelistic service;
and all Christian believers outside of the
regular ministry must realize that God is
calling them to engage In personal evange
lislic fort, in cooperation with and in sup
port Of the work of the ministry. All this
means nothing less than the evangelistic re-
formation Of the entire church of Christ,
for nothing less than that will answer for
the accomplishment of Gods purpose in the
salvation of men.
1--WE earnestly and prayerfully appeal, in
the name of our Divine Lord, for all to join
with US In week of prayer and inspiration
al services in individual churches or groups
of churches in every city, town, and vii
lage In America. In order that no time
may be lost In inaugurating the campaign,
we should suggest that the week beginning
with Sunday, Nov. 10, be devoted to this
suprcmely important work.
"For the benefit of those who may desire
to avail themselves of a suggested outline
of themes we offer the following:
Sunday, NOV. 10-Morning-The re-
sponsibility of the church for the salvation
of the lost. Evening-The Twentieth Cen
tury national gospel campaign.
Monday day of humiliation and
prayer.
Tuesday The responsibility of parents
TO win their children to Chiist.
Wednesday can we win our Sum
day school scholars and the young people
of our churches to Christ?
"Thursday-The Christians personal re-
sponsibilty to win his immediate friends
and neighbors to Christ.
"Friday-How can the church and indi-
vidual Christians win to Christ those that
have practically 70 interest in religion and
no sympathy with the church,"

SOME STATEMENTS ABOUT FICTION

From The Review of Reviews.
The sale Of books Of fiction has increased enor-
mously in the last five years. This is true as re-
CARDS the absolute number of novels sold and
is still more strkingly true when the demand
for fiction is compared with the sale of other
books written and published for the general
reader. Indeed. some very well informed pub
fishers assert that the demand for biographical
works, volumes of essays books of travel and
the various other classifications outside fiction
has actually not increased al all in the last five
years.
1t is probably true though the thing seems
ridiculous at the first thought. that the public
has been moved into this avdty for works
of fiction by the main force of advertising in
the newspapers and periodicals. While it is
plausible that particular novel should find a
vastly greater audience a result of extensive
and efficient advertising ii will strike the aver
age man highly curious that the English
speaking public can be with comparative celerIty
persuaded to read fiction rather than biography
travel, letters by the Skilful advertising of fc-
ton. Advertising can create new demand for
felt slippers; why not for fiction? At any rate
there does not any other working theory
nous quantities compared with five years
ago. and should not buy other books to any
greater extent. The one essentially new element
in the situation is the custom of advertising in
huge display" the merits of the new story of
adventure historical incident the apprecia tive
comments of reviewers, and last-or, generally

copies that have been sold to date.
