Marsh of Mt. Pleasant who said:
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN;
On behalf of the Christian Scientists OF
Alma we welcome you cordially;
In inviting you here this evening we
design to present to you plain state
ment of what we claim to be an exact
science which heals both the sick and the
sinner.
1t Is the custom of Christian Science
Societies to give one or more lectures an
nually and for this purpose there is an
established board of lectures upon whom
we are privileged to call.
The Christian Scientists of Alma have
again availed themselves of this priv
ilege and it now gives me great pleas
ure to Introduce to you the Hon. Clar-
ence A. Buskirk of the Christian Science
board of lectureship of Boston, Mass.
who will now address you upon the sub
ject of Christian Science
The speaker of the evening was hearld-
ed as one of The leading exponents OF
Christian Science. He certainly under
stands his subject and presents it with
ability, sincerity and earnestness. In
speaking of the growth OF the church
Mr.. Buskirk said:
Christian Science has history which
is unique and extraordinary. It's text
book, Science and Health With Key 10
the Scriptures" by Rev. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, was first published in 1878, and il
has now passed its 4ooth edition of 1000
copies each.
The mother church in Boston, Mass.
now has over 1000 members. Altogether
the denomination has over goo churches
and societies in which religious services
at llNlNA SSi(h WNCh. ICSC
are now to be found throughout the civ.
ilized earth. It's growth is constant as
we'll as rapid. This growth comes from
grateful advocacy as the hundreds OF
thousands of its benefciaries, and the
number of those receiving its benefits is
constantly increasing. 1t has not re.
ceived and it does not need any outside
adventitious aid to accelerate its growth.
No powerful prince or potentate, no con-
quering army, no vast moneyed syndicate
has espoused or assisted it. It's wonder.
full energies have all been steadily and
steadfastly developed from within itself.
The speaker brought forth many argu-
ments to sustain his belief and held the
close attention of his hearer i'll an address
which it required over two hours to de.

What Is lt2

For several days recently farmers
in the vicinity of AlDertha, Randolph
county, have been missing their stock,
which strayed into the woods. A
number of citizens concluded 10
search the woods and ascertain the
cause of the absence of their stock.
They armed themselves with shotguns
and started for the forest. About
50 farmers, mounted and accompanied
by a number of dogs, took part in the
search. They believed that some
wild animal was roaming the woods
and was responsible for the disap-
pearance of their horses and cattle.
They found plenty of evidence in the
way of dead and crippled stock to
convince them that some terrible beast
was getting in his work, but they
were unable to locate the monster.
Another hunt has been arranged for
with larger crowd, andit is believed
the hunters will be more successful

POINT TOO OFTEN OVERLOOKED.
Proper Appearance of Back Is Of
Much Importance.

woman's back expresses a great
deal more than one would fancy.
Observe a woman with stopped
shoulders, an Hitting bodice, collar
pinned sloppily, waistband escaping
from the protection of the waist, and
what hops into your mind?
Either that the woman is so crazed
with trouble and hard luck that she
isn't conscious of her appearance, or
that she is simply careless, slipshod,
"no-'count" mortal to whom energy
and ambition and neatness are unin-
telligible words.
Then look upon another back with
the bodice lines straight and correct,
the waist lines we'll placed, the collar
securely and neatly fastened down,
the skirt we'll fitting, and the Shout
ders poised with firmness and grace.
What then?
You are pretty sure when you get
front view that you will see a pretty
or serene face, with hair daintily
dressed and neatly placed.
Sometimes, of course, you are dis.

USING Leftover Fruit.

Whenever you have any fruit left
over from a meal, can it. Cook the
fruit until tender, with plenty of
sugar When tender pour into your
jar, which should be made hot by
the use of boiling water By placing
tablespoon or knitting needle in the
jar you will prevent it from breaking
when pouring in the hot fruit. The
jar should be filled to overlooking,
and Immediately screw on the top.
Then turn the jar upside down until
the next day If the juice has not
leaked out the can is alright and
may be put away for winter use in
cool, dark place. BY this process a
jar of fruit at a time may be pre-
served without much labor. Never
throw away the juice that is left over.
If it is put in sealed glasses or jars
it is very good in mince pies or may
be used as sauce over ice cream
or cottage pudding.

OF Importance to Arkansas Land Own.

A decision has been handed down
In the United States Court of Appeals
at. st. Louis which may affect the own,
ers Of thousands of acres of land in
Arkansas. The case was one where
the original owners sued to reclaim
title to nearly a thousand acres of
land in Crittenden county, Arkansas,
which had been sold for taxes in suits
prosecuted by the St. Francis levee
district. The original owner was A.
ii. johnson. The land was sold for
taxes to Charles w. Hunter. Rebecca
A. Johnson, the plaintiff and an heir,
claimed that proper notice was not
given that tax suit was pending.
The District Court of Arkansas, how
ever, affirmed the sale. The case
was appealed, and the court in st.
Louis decided that because no aft
davit was filed tc show that Johnson
was not in Crittendon county and was
a resident of Ohio, as alleged, the de-
cision was reversed. If Johnson had
been in the county at the time the
suit was filed, he should have been
served with notice. The notice was
published, as was right, if he were not
in the county. The leaving out of
the affidavit, which probably was done
in other like cases, caused the title
to be reverted to the original owners.
Johnson was the head of the Land
and Lumber Company.
