La Grippe IS Epidemic Catarrh.

II HE disease now known as grip

the country very rapidly.

for Present Good Health.
Mrs Jennie w Gilmore, Box A.
White Oak, Ind. Ter formerly House
keeper for Indiana Reform School for

During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-
mended on the bottle are sufficient.
After the grip has once been acquir-
ed, Dr. Hartman recommends the use
of Peruna in teaspoonful doses every
hour during the acute stage, after
which the directions on the bottle
should be followed.

they do not disguise. and more than one
interested are openly expressing regret
at their action in which they Installed a

radical in all matters" seems TO be the
rule in Montgomery now. They do not
complain SO much much about a local
option bill being passed, but they say
that a bill which is local option for those
against the sale of whisky and does not
offer the same opportunities for those who
favor such sale is undemocratic, and is
not covered by the terms in the party
platform.
On the top of the local option matter
comes the passage of the Moody dispen-
sary measure. Ii is recalled that about
two years ago an effort was made in Sell
ma to hold an election to decide whether
or not a dispensary should be established.
The contest never got beyond the primary
stage because the whisky interests were
able to scotch the movemnt In its in
cipincy. The City Council refused to
der an election on the question, and the
city democratic executive committee. to
which the matter was referred, also re-
fused to listen to any appeal. The whisky
interests then got good and adopted an
II o'clock closing law and actually stopped
the sale of ardent spirits on Sunday.

The Dixie Bal Masque.


The Dixie club has cause to be proud
of its many successes in the way of So
cial entertaining. The organization gives
many affairs during each year. but five
of the number are always singled out for
special effort by the committee on enter
tainment. These five are the opening ger
man given In November, the Christmas
german, the carnival dance. the Easter
german and the moonlight picnic. Perhaps
for downright enjoyment, the affair given
just before Lent's sombre curtain is
drawn, is easily the winner of the palm.
At least it was so in the affair given
Friday night at the EllSs home.
Fully 800 guests of the club assembled
to enjoy the hospitality extended, and
as the long line of masters entered the
hall they attempted, bit pnsueeessfully,
to penetrate the DISCUSSES worn.
The dance hall of the Elks had been
decorated in carnival colors and presented
fascinating appearance. a credit to
Messrs. II. II. Hudson w. S. Lyon and
Edward Hobbs. In the center of the
stage hung 1.-THE Dixie Club emblazoned
in colored electric lights. Streamers of
vari-colored crepe paper blocked in the
stage and half hid the Dunklins orches-

musicians from Montgomery. At the

To make way for the new build. ngs several huts have been removed and consequntiy We are even more crowded than before. The floor space is completely taken for sleeping purposes and one of our number suggests, that henceforth a second layer is about the only resource. Lately over sixty people have been sleeping in the four room house and verandas of this house. But a better day is coming, thanks to our kind friends in America.
 We have organized several new classes lately. One is for women
 wanting to learn to read Telugu. Already 1t has six members and is doing splended work. Nearly all of those in attendance are village women and we hope to equip them for Christian service. humble it may be. They receive regular Instructions in the Bible and Gatechism. The other class es are for the school girls and in them the older ones are receiving religious instruction in addition to their regular morning lesson. In fact all the girls over ten years old now spend about an hour and half daily in studying the Bible. And how they enjoy 1t! After these classes were or ganized several came to thank us for giving them such an oppor- tunity. We covet each girl we have for the Master $ service and are trying to equip them for that end.
 Recently 8 pew girl came to school. That often happens but this one has a history different from the majority, She is about fifteen or sixteen years old. We had never heard about her nor seen her until she came. She is nice looking, intelligent, and from a good caste among the EIindus. That she should leave all this and come into a Christian school seemed remarkable to US at first. But We learned that though born into good caste she was out of caste. We. westeI ners, can never realize the horror which those words convey to a Hindu. And why out of caste: Because she had not been marli- ed as little child Now, though she has done no wrong no one in that caste will marry her. She is too old to marry, Because of this her father would not keep her in his house lest he too, be put out of caste He then built a shed near his house for her and sent her food to her door. Even then people stunned him. So when he heard' about the girls school here and that some people from theii own village were com ing to Nikarabad he gladly sent his daughter to get rid of her. His caste was more to him than his own flesh and blood. Yet compared with many others he treated the girl kindly. The horrors of heathenisn what pen can depict them. Never have we seen girl with 6 greater desire to learn. She works for her liv- ing but it must be acknowledged her mind is usually on her books. She is making good progress. She is anxious to be baptized. And she has caught some of the eyangelistic spirit already for she tells Us that she has cousin under the same band and wants to go and bring her.

Here we meet people whom we have been visit ing in their villages and who have secretly professed faith in the true God. Perhaps. they have been persuaded into coming to the place of eidhly worship by some old relative and our pres ence reminds them of the teach ing and the love of the dear Saviour. Year after year we have met two women, sisters, who serve in the temple. These women anxiously look forward to meeting us for they live in a remote village and we do not see them at any other time. On the first occasion one of them said
 We have been doing this work 1 for years and yet there is no peace in our hearts,. We tried to point her to Him who giveth the peace that passeth all under standing; We hope they will some day allow that Peace to possess their hearts.
 It is to such people we have come, to save them from such blackness of heathenism. It is for the sake Of these that Christ died and they know it not. Their hearts are hungry for the truth. May the day speedily come when
  this hunger shall be satisfied and none will need say to his brother Know thou the Lord for all shall know Him from the least unto the greatest.
