"Mesiddo,' UnlucI<y Venture Of Eccen-
trio Preacher, Becomes "chattanoo-
ga"
Clinton, April S.-The old gospel
steamer Megiddo, built in this city sew
eral years ago by l.. j. Nichols. an &c
centric Minneapolis preacher, who took
twoscore of the faithful on a two year
cruise of the Mississippi to preach the
early advent of the millennium has been
raised and repaired after sinking with
q cargo of freight on the Ohio near
Paducah. KY. and is now being oper-
ated in southern waters under the
name of the Chattanooga.
Nichols invested about, $4,000 in the
mission steamer. and for two years
navigated the Mississippi river and
tributaries. The craft was large and
roomy and was one of the most extra
ordinary looking boats ever seen on
the upper river because of the eccen-
trio idea employed In her painting. She
was barred with red and white and
trimmed with blue.
The little band Of optimists on board
tried to make the boat self-sustain-
ing, by the manufacture and sale of
small articles in II large barge carried
for the purpose; but for some reason or
other the Minneapolis prophet could
not induce the thrifty people of the
Mississippi valley to abandon their
farms and houses and join him in a
vigil for the millennium's coming; so
he sold the boat to a southern COM
pany and went to New York, where he
built and equipped another steamer for
a similar mission on the waterways OF
the empire state.
The word Megiddo is OF Hebrew orr
gin, and is the equivalent of God is in

Terrible Liquor Craving.
How Orrine Destroys all Desire for
Whiskey aud Beer.

The terrible craving for liquor Is a symp.
tom OF disease and TO overcome it, the dis
ease itself should be treated in a scientific
way When one has used whiskey beer or
other aimulants for long time, the nerve
cells have become accustomed to the effect
of the stimulants and demand liquor in or
der to perform their duties If the nerve
cells ate properly treated, the craving for
liquor will be destroyed.
1t is in this way that Orrine cures alcoho-
ism, by supplying to the nerve cells the
strength needed, thus destroying the desire
for liquor. 1t tradicates every particle Of
the terrible liquor craving, imparts new
strength and vigor to the whole system and
restores the general health. Treatise on

SO lccessful has Orrine been that in every

How to Avoid Disagreeabls Odors
From Getting About.
For the woman whose troubles arise
from the odor of the gas while prepar-
ing meals the remedy lies In having IL
small pipe between the range and the
chimney to carry Off the gases.
A large bowl of water placed near
will also help prevent the odor. The
smell OF gas when a rubber tube is
used, no leak being apparent, is usual
ly caused by the tube itself having be.
come saturated with gas.
New tubing is the only remedy. The
lighting of burner is very simple If
seconds before applying the match.
This permits the air to escape from the
pipe and makes the burner show a
clear blue flame from the first.
If white flame appears on the first
lighting. turn off the gas Immediately
means the gas flame has leaped back
inside the supply pipe. When having
a gas range put In he sure to see that
the supply pipe Is large enough to al

that the oren is large and commodlous
and that there is plenty of room on

economy TO use gas range that is too
small. On the other hand, don't have
