BITS Of BrPLAT.'

Quite little pleasantly has been
handed around and mostly by Col. d.
(. Roberts anent the multifarious
duties Of certain people in Marion.
Until the attention is called one is not
apt to think of the many and various
duties devolving on those whose work
follows several channels. Take for
instance one Of our physicians, DR.. I.
A. Frazer, and let US see if we can dig
up all the things in which he is inter-
ested. He represents in a medical
way quite a number of life insurance
companies as examiner. He is men,
Der of The American Medical Associa-
ton, The Kentucky State Medical AS
ISOLATION, The Ohio Valley Medical
Association. The South Kentucky Med
ical Association, The Crittenden Coun-
ty Medical Society, The Farmers Associ-
alton, and he is honorary member of
The Union County Medical Society.
DR.. Frazer is a member of The Golden
Cross, The Independent Order Of Odd
Fellows, and the Masonic Lodge. He
also is member Of The Auxiliary Leg
islative Committee of the American
Medical Association and Secretary Of
the Anti-Saloon League, Health Officer
for Crittenden county and Referee for
the State Board Of Health. We might
stop at this and do very well, but a
few others should be mentioned. He
is secretary Of the board of pension
examiners, is Vice President Of the
Crittenden County Medical Society,
Vice Grand in the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows, Senior Warden OF
Bigham Lodge A. +. and A. NJ, Trus-
tee Of the NJ. f. church south and
from the last accounts we had Of him

Rev. Andres preached at the Presby-
terrain church last Sunday on the doc
trine Of God. The text was Deut. ga.
"The Lord our God is one Lord" The
idea Of God is vague in the minds Of
many men on account Of their lack Of
knowledge Of the scriptures. The world
owes great debt TO the Presbyterian
Standards for the excellent description
Of God in the shorter catechism, which
is based upon Gods Word God is a
spirit, infinite, eternal and unchanga-
BILE, in His being, wisdom, power, hol-
ness, justice, goodness and tru h +.
There Is but one God only, the living
and true God. There are three per-
sons IN the Godhead. the Father, the
Son and the Holy Ghost and these
three are one God. the same in sub
stance, equal in power and glory. This
is the description Of God as contained
in the Westminster Standards, and
covers the scope Of scriptural teaching
on this subject. This refers to His be-
ing attributes, and to the Trinity Of
God. He is the only living in contrast
to gods Of the heather. He is infinite,
eternal and interchangeable. His attri'
butes nay be classified as follows
Intellectual, moral and emotional.

The revelations regarding fraudu-
lent paint materials which have been
made by the Agricultural Experiment
Station of Fargo, N. d., and published
by Prof. E. F. Ladd, state commits
sioner, have occasioned almost as
much of a sensation as the exposure
of adulteration in food products did
when the latter first began to appear.
1t has been shown that kegs marked
pure White Lead" often contain other
substances such as chalk, barytes,
silica, etc., and that oil supposed to
be linseed often contains petroleum
a%dulterants, to say nothing of water
in large proportions. Sometimes, So
called white Leads" contain not an
iOta Of genuine White Lead.
The farmer is a large usor of paint.
No one is more interested than he is,
that the label should enable him to
get what he supposes he is paying for.
There should be a law in every state
requiring that all paint packages be
labeled exactly according to their con
tents. That would enable every paint
buyer to buy intelligently.

SOME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS.
Queen of Holland Has Agreed to Rec
ognize Vatican Titles.

Among the lucrative sources Of rev.
enue of the pope before the separa-
ton of church and state in France was
the toll or tax on titles of nobility
and decorations. Since the rupture
the French government no longer rec
ognizes the ennobling titles and dec
orations of the holy father. To have
the right to wear the Vatican ribbon,
or to be called count, it was necessary
to obtain a confirmation of title. This
gave much perplexity to the candi-
dates.
The question has just been settled.
Queen Wilhelmina has consented to
validate such titles and distinctions.
The result has been an amusing pill
grimage to The Hague-and also in
an increase in the price of these pom
tifcal favors.
In the last few weeks the French
Knights of the Golden Spur, of the
Holy Sepulcher, of Christ, of Gregory
the Great, of Plus *. have greatly in
creased.

We tossed aside the apple cores,

ture: Get from any good pharmacy
one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dande-

three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake well and S in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix

the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain
from the blood and system all ca

Natural Washing Preparation.

Near Ashcroft, in British Columbia,
are a number of small lakes, whose
shores and bottoms are covered with
a crust containing borax and soda in
such quantities and proportions that
when cut it serves as a washing COM

and handled in the same manner as ice,

Laundry work at no1ne would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
>fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
