BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
is a term that aptly describes
the character and action of
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine-more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples of both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles of i'm
perfect growth and delicate
health in children. The action
of SCOTS Emulsion is Just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.

this morning. the Prison-Gate home for
the south is practically certainty.
Though located at Birmingham. 1t is to be
in no sense only an Alabama institution,
but ex-eonvicts from all parts of the
south will be welcomed and sheltered
there
There are at present two Prison Gate
homes In the United States. one in New
York and one in the west, and the rec
ord of work done by these is sufficient
endorsement of them; enough proof of the
need of them and the splendid work that
is being done through them.
Ex-convicts Neglected.
''The ex-convlct has been too much
neglected, and once outside the prison
doors. he finds himself looked upon with
distrust and suspicion and finally. by
pure force of circumstances. is forced
back into crime again, and sinks ever
deeper and deeper
1--WE take these men and women into
our Prison Gate homes and by patience
and sympathy lead them back to the
paths of righteousness and good citizen-
ship. Within a week or ten days we have
learned their weak points. and we bend
every effort to strengthen along these
lines. And generally we have succeeded
and moulded them over into good citi-
zens.
Then, when we believe the reforma-
ton is genuine and complete. and we can
Judge of these things by the general bear
ing of the men themselves, we seek
places for them out In the world. We
hide nothing but show their complete
record and tell of their actions since their
coming with us, and generally we have
little or no trouble placing them with
good. Christian employers who will bear
for time with their weaknesses and help
them along the road to better and higher
manhood.
After ALL" said Major Berriman. this
world is growing steadily better and there
is more of the milk of human kindness
in the hearts of men today than ever be-
fore. The brotherhood of man is becom-
ing more than mere phrase, and find
that the average employer is willing to
help the man that is trying to help him

! to reach down, in his own way, and lend a
helping hand to the struggling brother in
| the depths.
VIII Be Self Sustaining.
1.-THE start In the establishment of the
| home will. of course, have TO be made
largely through subscriptions, but once
the home Is established. we expect that
1t will be practically self-sustaning.
Following the example set in England.
we shall establish factories in the home,
and the sale of their products will all
most entirely pay the running expenses OF
the institution. Then we shall establish
schools and teach the men trades. II they
have none OF their own and much of the
provisions will be raised in our own gar
dens.
after the men leave us we shall keep
In touch with them. through correspond

be done in the south through this Prison

DEDICATION WAS
VERY IMPRESSIVE

Church, South
REMAINING DEBT LIFTED
Bishop Galloway breaches Masterful
Sermon on Service and Its Re-
Ward-conducts Dedica-
tory Exercises.

With the simple, impressive ritual of
the Methodist Episcopal church, Bishop
Charles B. Galloway yesterday morning
dedicated the Mt. Vernon NJ e. church,
south: in North Birmingham. The house
was filled to the doors with members and
their friends, who had come to witness
the elimination of years of labor and
hope.
Before the regular dedicatory exercises
the bishop preached an eloquent and
forceful sermon on service and the reward
of honor, the text being taken from the
latter clause of John xii-26: If any man
serve me, him will My Father honor"
The bishop first alluded to the neces-
sity of Christ's coming into the world and
experiencing in the flesh the life and
emotions of man in order that He might
have the fullness of sympathy for our
trials.
Then coming to the text, the speaker
said:
II want to talk for a while, if ! may,
this morning, on service. Service is the
central idea in Gods kingdom. The, only
Mistaken Idea.

without his church.

Judge Feagin, the police judge of the
city, then held a long consultation with
the lady, and has finally succeeded. or at
least has almost done so, In persuading
her to turn the land over to us and let
us use 1t as a home for the white ex-
convicts. There is already an institution
there to care for the negroes, and Judge
Feagin and we as well, believe that the
white prisoners should not be forgotten.
During the recent visit of Miss Booth
to Birmingham she and Judge Feagln
had a long consultation regarding the
work. and Miss Booth assured the judge
that the Salvation army would be only
too glad to undertake the work, and
would properly officer the home and take
charge of Its entire management.
Negotiations then proceeded rapidly,
