STUDY PRAYERBOOK.

For the past year efforts have
been made to form a prayerbook
class in Christ church Sunday school,
but the efforts have not been sue
cessful, most of the scholars fitted
for it not showing the necessary in
terest in it. 1t is twenty years since
the study of the prayerbook has been
taken up in the school and Rev. MI.
Pearse has been anxious to include
1t once more with the other studies.
A week ago last Sunday the scholars,
who were expected to have studied
the prayerbook, were examined, but
did not pass. They were allowed to
keep the books which they received
a year ago, but they were given THE
Life of Christ" as a study instead;
thus forming a junior Bible class in
stead of a prayerboox class. TWO
new classes were formed and there
were a number of scholars promoted.

A woman once wrote US
that she was not going TO

more because it Cost too
much. Said she could get
some other emulsion for less
money. Penny wise sand
pound foolish. SCOTS Emul-
sion costs more because it IS
worth more-costs more to
make. We could make
SCOTS Emulsion cost less by
using less oil. Gould take
less care in making it, too.

Maximum Stake at Bennings Won
by 4 to 8 FnvOrite.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Ben Crock
cit, at 4 to 8, repeated his victory OF
,ast year when he won the Maximum
stake. Last year he beat Shorthose
and others, and now he defeated, in a
canter, Ostrich, who was ridden a wait
ing race in front for two and a half
miles.
At the end of two miles Ben Crock
EFT was several lengths behind Ostrich,
the latter going easily. In the ext
three furlongs Romanelli sent Ben
Crockett up to Ostrich, and the two
horses disappeared in the fog of the
far turn, with the most interesting
part of the race to come. The 5000
men and ONE strained their eyes to
get Il glimpse of the leader. and when
the red and white jacket on Ben Crock
EFT appeared far in advance of Ostrich
the whole stand cheered the plucky
son Of Ben Holladay, who never had
an easier victory.
The time, $50, could have been beat
en- several seconds by the winner il
there had been any real pace. The
race was worth 81, 1G5 net t. the win
ner. lie won the Maximum last yeal
in 5:3435
Miller succeeded in placing" Ostrich
much better than Jost had dom in the
cup, but nothing could avert his defeat
Louis ii. ran a poor race. He showed
a dull and listless appearance and has
had too much of it apparently.

SHAKE OFF LAZY WORM"
People of Porto Rico Are Becoming
Thoroughly Awakened and
Go to Work.

The "lazy worm" disease in Porto
Rico is succumbing to science, and the
populace is at last cooperating with
the government in eradicating 1t from
said populace's collective system.
Which means that hereafter there will
be more work done in Porto Rico.
That the people have become thor
oughly awakened and enthusiastic IN
their desire and endeavor to rid them
selves of the scourge of anaemia, pop
ularly designated the lazy worm" af-
fiction, is indicated in a report just
received by the surgeon general of the
army from Capt. B. X. Ashford. who
is oXpending $3.50 this year in a
campaign against that malady.
During the months of June, July and
August nearly 10000 patients had been
treated, with cures in nearly every in.
stance. In August, at the medica
station in Aibonito, exactly one-third
Of the population was treated. This
number was 2,482, of which only six
died. TIC were discharged as fully
cured, while the majority of the re-
mainder are on the road to recovery.
The effect of the disease is to render
the victim absolutely unfit for work
The disease gradually wastes away tht
tissues, during which time the afflicted
becomes a public charge on the com
mun,ty. The natives believe thi!
wasting away was from lack of food
and ridiculed the idea that a cur
cou,d be effected through the use o
medicine.
Besides administering a cure, tn
medical corps under DR.. Ashford hal
been conducting a campaign Of educa
