Women Who Wear We'll.

1t is astonishing how great change
few years of married life will make
in the appearance and disposition of
many women. The freshness, the
charm, the brilliance vanish like the
bloom from peach which is rudely
handled The matron is only a dim
shadow, faint echo of the charming
maiden. There are two reasons for this
change, ignorance and neglect. Few
young women appreciate the shock to
the system through the change which
comes with marriage. Many neglect to
deal with the unpleasant drains which
are often consequent on marriage and
motherhood, not understanding that
this secret drain is robbing the cheek of
its freshness and the form of its fair
ness. AS surely as the general health
suffers when there is arrangement OF
the health of the womanly organs, SC
surely when these organs are estab
lished in health the face and form al
once witness to the fact in renewed
comeliness. Half million women and
more have found health and happiness
in the use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t makes weak women strong
and sick women well.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer one Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

An important English Court Decision

act, committed by one person, woult
not be punishable as crime. That il

under the seventh section of that sam,
act, any person who uses violence o.

meaning of the act.
In other words, workmen might lie

might not legally enforce belligerent
blockade. They might legally use
moral suasion to induce a fellowwork

ment, but if they in any way use CO.

to the penalties of the law.
The point at issue, of course, in this
case was whether the Amalgamated
Society, through its agents, had acted
within their legal rights when, as the
evidence showed, 1000 men were or
dered to picket the Taft Vale Railway
Company's property and premises, and
whether, in inducing men to leave their
employment, the society had not over
stepped the bounds. The verdict of the
jury answers both questions in the af-
firmative. But it goes even one step
further. A strike has been the great

with the dictum of the House of Lords,
labor in Great Britain has been sub

whenever and so often as you please,
but your strike will be ineffective unless
you resort to illegal methods, and the
moment you commit an illegal act you

Pearls Becoming Scarce

1t is reported that famine of pearls
has set in, due to the large demand fol

no other stone is so becoming to youth
and beauty, bat the majority OF people
throughout the country are not able to
purchase these costly gems. However,
as long as they enjoy good health they
are far richer and will always look bet.

The Christian Church, or Disciples or
Christ number 1907, 377 in the United
States, gain of 81, 500 during the past
year. The churches number 1857, or a
gain over year ago of "a. The
ministers number GAIT. In compare
lively few years, this church has come
to be one of the largest religious bodies
of the country. Nor is that all. Last
year this people raised 1924, 2l4.OO for
MISSIONS 1854, 753. 90 for education; for
new church buildings $3.50. 900. 90; for
literature $34O,O00 90; for incidental
church expenses $3.50, 100000; for sup
port of ministers of the Church $3, $3.50,
900. co. or grand total for all purposes
of SO, 1913, 967 90. These are certainly
interesting figures.
The Foreign Christian Missionary
Society of this people, which does work
in foreign lands only, was not organized
until 1875. Since that time, it has
raised and expended $1,S22, $500. 1t
does work in Japan, China, India.
Africa, Turkey, England, Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Cuba, Hawaii and
PHILIPPINE Islands. The receipts last
year were $17s, 1898 90. An effort is be-
ing made, with bright prospects of sue
cess to raise 5000, 10000 this year. The
number of missionary workers employed
by this society is 1876 Last year 30
schools were supported in foreign lands,
with an attendance of about 1000 and
IL hospitals and dispensaries were con-
Quoted by nine medical missionaries,
and over GA, 900 patients were treated.
The number gathered into the Sunday
schools is about 1000. Last year the
converts on the mission fields in foreign
lands raised over $50, 900. 90 for the work.
The time for the Offering in all the
Christian Churches for this great and
important work is the first Sunday in
March. That is always great day
with this people. 1t is day to which
the members look forward with great
expectancy and JOY. The ministers
preach their best sermons, and the
churches give most generously. The
congregation in this community is max
ing preparations to join with its sister
churches throughout the world in one of
the largest offerings which has ever
been made to foreign missions. We
have no doubt that the congregation
here will give with its characteristic
liberality.
Through the agency of this Foreign
Society a church has been planted in
Manila in full view of Manila Bay, the
scene of Dewey's wonderful naval vic
tory. A strong college has been planted
in Toxic, the capital of the empire of
Japan. and another college is now be-
ing planted in Nankin, China Three
new missionaries have just been sent
out one to Japan and two to China. A
of others will go out during the
year. This church will plant strong
mission this year in the strange and ex-
elusive land of Tibet. Indeed, this will
be the first religious body to take this
bold step in that land.
