CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR,
MEMORIAL TO PRESIDENT FRANCIS
E. CLARK.-HOW EACH ENDEAVORER
MAY HELP 1T ALONG.

MAY HELP 1T ALONG.
At the Christian Endeavor meeting
in the Congregational church, August
20, the plan was laid before the mem
bers OF the proposed memorial to the
year, 1906, will be the 25th anniversary
Of the birth of the Christian Endeavor
society; and that the year may be Gel
ebrated by something that will bring
lasting good to the movement, it is
suggested that large Office building
be erected, probably in Boston. This
building will serve as an international
@. E. headquarters, and will, by the
rental of offices, bring in an income
which will largely pay for the carrying
on and extension of the work. Hither-
to DR. Clark has raised the money for
his expenses in his journeys around the
world and in supporting this world
embracing movement by running a
paper and selling topic-cards, pictures,
etc. Often when burdened by con-
vention work and when giving several
addresses day, with the added fatigue
Of many receptions, he has had to sit
up late into the night to write his
books and newspaper articles for the
raising Of necessary funds. 1t is hard
ly even good business policy to take
away the time that would be given to
the spiritual work of the churches for
carrying out administrative duties.
The churches owe Christian Endeavor
large debt of gratitude, for there is
scarcely Protestant Christian church
in America which has not been helped
and strengthened by the impetus, at
least, Of this great movement. Here
is way in which part of this debt
may be tangibly paid. If every Chris
tian Endeavorer in Newtown and
friend of Christian Endeavor will give
Csc each lone cent for each of the 25
years the society has lived), and so
join their gifts with those Of thous-
ands and tens of thousands all over
the world, the splendid object which
is in view can be accomplished. G..
Oscar Carlson, secretary of the New
town society, has been asked to can
vass among the members to see how
many wish to put brick in the wall
or lend a hand in this good work.

NEW FAIRFIELD.
AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.

Miss Nora Tracy, who is visiting at
George Oliyett's, shot herself, last
Monday. The ball entered her head
in her forehead just between her eyes
and glancing up went between the
skull and scalp, lodging in the top Of
her head. When DR. Brown was called
he took the bullet out. Miss Tracy is
now comfortable and 1t is thought she
will recover. Miss Tracy arose as
usual and ate her breakfast, seeming
to be in as good spirits as usual. About
10 O'Clock pistol shot was heard in
her room. They found her lying on
the floor with the pistol beside her
and hole in her forehead. She was
lifted to the bed and the doctor was
called at once and found the wound
not fatal. 1t is thought that despon-
dency was the cause of the act. She
had taught the Beaver Boys school,
last year, and was we'll liked. This
year she was unable to secure the
school. Her home was on Quaker Hill.
Mizzen Top, N. Y. Her father is the
village blacksmith there. Her many
friends were sorry to hear of her rash
act.

Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.
If you are ill, don't hesitate to get a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham' vegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs Pink
ham, Lynn. Mass, for special advice.
When medicine has been successful
in restoring to health so many women,
you cannot we'll say, without trying it,

Diplomatic Rupture is Complete After

Of Greek subjects during the recent dem

Beosuse-in every tesspoonful Of

Bacteria are living Organisms, better

These Bacteria are the product OF dead

been washed into Rivers and Lakes by
Floods Of Rain and Snowwater,
Some Of these Germs are comparatively
harmless to health
A number Of them are mildly injurious,
producing only Stomach and Intestinal
troubles-affecting Digestion.
A few are deadly Poison, when taken into
the System in any considerable quantity.
Among these latter are the Typhoid

The Sewage from a single Typhoid Pa

proof that the Omaha and the Nebraska

IN the fact that they are already carrying
