Prunes for Soldiers.

Remembering the present surplus
of prunes and the recent discussions
of relative values Of food products, it
would be interesting in case of war to
have regiment fed on an exclusive
prune diet and their fighting record
carefully watched, says the Albany
Herald A bearded Slav, quite or
partly full of prunes, should be a
formidable fighter.

Jr, which was solemnized Wednesday
evening, February 10, at ST. Marks

one Of the prettiest marriages ever

duchesse lace. She carried a superb
shower bouquet of fragrant lilies Of
the valley, and wore a veil which com
pletely covered the exquisite gown.
Her ornament was the groom's gift,

exceedingly attractive in a lovely Gre

white rosebuds, of moire ribbon, and
in white fur. Mrs. Dalton
also wore tiara of diamonds. The
bridesmaids, Miss Fanny Allen, of

were very winsome, being attired alike
in delicate pink crepe de chine. They
carried shower boquets of bridesmaid
roses and wore wreaths of tiny pink
roses, making picture which the
guests witnessed with many exelama-
Iion OF admiration. Mrs. Robinson,
the brides mother, was elegantly
attired in a gown Of black and silver,
and the mother Of the groom, wore a
rich and becoming costume of black
chiffon and velvet handsomely trim

The Power of the Bible.

"The Word of God is living and
powerful, sharper than a two-edged
sword, and is Il discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart. !"
This is the statement Of God concern
ing his own Word in Hebrews 10.
Men who know not the power of the
Bible will not be inclined to use it;
when they do use it honestly, the
power Of it's truths will be clearly
seen. Look at the power of this book
in national life. As you study the
map of the world, you will perceive
that the Bible is known and studied
where the people are prosperous and
progressive. Intelligence, thrift and
virtue are possessed by a people as
they know and love the Word. Presi-
dent Grant said: ''Hold fast to the
Bible; it is the sheet-anchor of our
liberties; to it are we indebted for all
progress in true civilization" De
Tocqueville, the great French states
man, said: 'Bible Christianity has
ever been the companion Of liberty in
all its conflicts, the Grade of its in
fancy, the source Of all its claims.
Lord Laurence, England's commits
sioner to the Puujaub, was able to
rule the Hindoos because the prin-
ciples of the Bible were his aim and
inspiration. Schliermacher, the Ger
man philosopher, says: abolish the
Bible, and you pluck up by the root
the best in civilization.
Study its power educationally. It
has we'll been said that there has been
no great American statesman without
a thorough knowledge of the Bible.

Verge
Of Insanity Despite
Doctors Care.
Nervous Cramps in
Hands and Feet.
DIR. Miles Nervine Was
My Salvation.

Sleeplessness is at once a symptom and a
disease. Just as soon as the nerves become
deranged the patient suffers from sleepless-
ness. Deprived Of their natural rest the
nerves soon lose all force and vitality and
while sleeplessness is a symptom in such
cases it frequently becomes chronic and
remains the chief effect OF disordered nerves.
Dr. Miles Nervine quiets the nerves and
strengthens them; soothes the tired brain
and permits sleep; restores lost energy and
vitality and brings sleep, health and strength.
Previous to our coming to the territory
three years ago, we lived in Virginia, and it
was there that ! got acquainted with the
wonderful powers Of DR.. Miles Nervine. l
had been under the doctors care and taking
his medicine for over two years, but the nerv-
Gus trouble that was gnawing my life away
grew steadily worse. had nervous cramps
in my hands and legs, which would draw up
and pain me 50 that | could not sleep at
night. Often / never closed my eyes for
days and nights together. The doctor finally
told ne he could do nothing more for me and
that was on the verge of insanity. He told
me might try your Nervine as a last resort,
and it proved to be my salvation. When |
had used four bottles Of the remedy together
with the Nerve and Liver Pills had re-
gained my former good health. MRS.

the man who could not find in it the
rich supplies for thought and rules

Quincy Adams, and other great men
men of our Nation have been great in

But the Bible is powerful because it
is the most practical book ever known.
1t is for practice, for daily living.
Obey its teachings, and life turns to
its true goal-gets its chiefest inspira-
tion. The Bible touches men at their
center. Sure it is that there is no true
home without it, Its power is this: 1t
aims not at surface reform it touches
the heart whence are the springs Of
life. Thought, motive, act, relation
are thus brought into harmony with

Many men are towards at this point;
they don't want the Bible because it
discerns and rebukes the sinful life.

Men may get along without this book
