Doctor
Tried but Could Not
Relieve Me
Of Headache, Dizzi-
ness, Twitching.
DR.. Miles Nervine Did
Relieve and Cure.

"The doctor tried but couldn't relieve me"
is aphrase commonly met with in the letters
we receive from grateful patients. The
reason is plain. The doctor tries to cure the
symptom and neglects the disease. In all
cases of chronic headache, nervousness,
weakness, general debility, dizzy spells, loss
of appetite inability to sleep, lack of energy,
loss of flesh, lack of interest, morbid tend
encies hysteria, the disease is a nervous dis.
order and some means must be taken to
strengthen and restore the nervous system.
DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine is performing
wonders every day and will cure you as it
has thousands of others. Read how quickly
it acted in the follow ng case:
"a few years ago | was greatly troubled
with nervousness and indigestion. While at
work dizzy spell would come over me and
| would be forced to stop and rest. suffered
terribly from headaches and my nervousness
was so marked as to cause almost constant
twitchng of the muscles. My doctor tried
but could not relieve me. finally began
the use of DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine
and continued until l have used four bottles,
although | have not had dizzy spell since
taking the first dose. | am very thankful for
what your medicine has done for me and
shall take pleasure in recommending it
whenever | can."-FRANK P. BENTLEY, Mid

The United Society has prepared a
series OF excellent mission studies tor this
year, one Tor the last meeting of each
month, and a special program has been
prepared for each subject. We print
from the Evening with Chinese Mis-
sions" the following interesting
SELECTIONS.
The Chinese are unquestionably the
Oldest nation in the world their history
going back to period to which no pru-
dent historian will attempt to give a
precise date. This much we can say,
however that it has history covering
period of more than 1900 years with
out break in its continuity.
A striking and peculiar feature about
China is the small amount of influence
that the rest of the world has exercised
upon it. In fact it is only during the
present century that that influence can
be said to have existed at all.
At one time it is supposed that the
people OF China had really a knowledge
OF the true God, and that they wor.
shipped, in much the same manner as did
the patriarchs, him whom they called
"Wang-teen, "or" Shang-ti,' which means
Supreme Ruler. They worshipped God;
but mixing this with an idolatrous wor-
ship of departed ancestors. they nearly
lost sight of the Supreme Ruler, the Jeal-
Gus God.
A little more than three hundred years
ago, Francis Xavier waited outside the
wall of the Middle Kingdom vainly seek
ing admission. 1t seems to the devoted
Jesuit that it WAS surrounded by wall
of exclusion as high as heaven and as
hard as adamant;" and in the agony Of
his soul he cried out, O Rock, Rock when
wilt thou open to my Master"
When the pioneer missionary, Rober,
Morrison, arrived alone in China in 1907
his enterprise was sneered at, anc
he was pityngy asked, "Do yot
really expect. Mr.. Morrison, to CONVEX
the Chinese?" mo, do not" was til
reply; but | expect tt at God will do So

whole Family Poisoned.

Three members OF the family OF Fred K.
D.own. station agent OF Whiting, have
1;ed Of poisoning. The first symptoms
of there being anything wrong were the
o; y, of Mrs. Brown the day after
2ll had been partaken of the latter
oart OF December at which Others besides
tbe lamily were present. At this dinner
was served a pork pie, the pig from
which the pork came having been killed
", November. by Mr.. Brown. Some of
.be quests were also affected in the same
,Tay' The family ply stefan with Others
was called and all agreed that the sud-
den sickness of Mrs. Brown was caused
Nv some kind of poisoning, presumably
ntomaine, meaning poison from micro bes
iorn,ing in decayed albuminous matt r.
nalton, the seven years old son, and Mr.
Prown himself were also stricken down
and all three have since died, Mr..
Browns death occurring January 16.
Mrs. Brown and the son were buried to-
grtber early in January and Mr.. Brown
was then very i'll. The facts, as far as
Known are: Mr. Brown killed a pig
sometime in November that had not
done as we'll as it should and was not
rerv fat. 1t weighed only 90 pounds
when killed. 1t is stated that the meat
Ala not look Just right and the neighbor
who helped Mr.. Bro wn dress the animal
said he should not want TO use it. The
family used it without any apparent re-
snlts beyond the fact that all complained
of feeling sick to the stomach after meals
The illness of the Brown family recalls
tbp fact that Cornwall had a similar case
during the past fall when the family OF
| r D. Searle were suddenly taken i'll and
only prompt medical attendance saved
their lives. The symptoms in both
cases we're nearly identical and the cause
of poisoning in the case of the Searle
family has never been solved.

President Says Culture Must Reach
Both Up and Down to BE

GRINNELL. Ia, June 7.-(Special Tele-

quently today to a graduating class of
forty-three from Isaiah so, iv. 'The Lord
God hath given me the tongue OF learning
that 1 should know how 10 speak a word
in season to him that is weary"
In a discourse rich in historical refer
ence, scriptural illusions and inspiration
there was the central thought that all
scholarship and culture to be of service
to the world must reach not only up. but
down into the humblest home and uplift
the soul weary with the performance of
mental duties, even as Christ's heavenborn
inspiration and sympathy we're extended to
the commonest of mortals. In his closing
words to the class he exhorted them to
let their education give them a kindlier re-
gard for others and to hold as an obliga-
ton to transmit to others the inspiration
their college course had brought to them.

lay Methodist J. H. Mickey as chief ex-
ecutive.

the pleasure It gave him to greet an Iowa
audience as he had been born in Iowa a
fact OF which he was proud, although he
was recently proud of the fact that he

destiny OF the child. As an example he
referred 10 the case of murderer Nieginfind
whom he visited in his cell a few weeks
before his execution. In talking with the
condemned man he asked him for a history
OF his past life and what influence had
led him to such an awful crime. The man 8
answer was "At the age of fourteen stood
by the side OF my father and saw him
shoot a man"
Governor Mickey laid especial stress on
the necessity OF parents leading upright
/ lives as otherwise they could not expect
L
women.
