Paper read by Miss Lucy Robinson at Pc

'"The grandest privilege which God
ever gives to His children upon earth
and which He gives to comparatively
few, is to write noble Christian
hymn, to be accepted by the church,
to be sung by revsrent and loving
hearts in different lands and different
tongues. and which still shall be sung
as the future opens it's Frightening
centuries. Such . hymn brings the
one to whom it is given into most
intimate sympathy with the Master,
AID with the most devout spirit Of
every time. )"
DR.. Richard Storrs paid the above
tribute to DR.. Palmer, the author Of
my Faith Looks Up to Thee.
DR.. Palmer wrote twelve hymns,
but this one seems best suited for
those who are in trouble or sorrow.
DR.. Palmer was born in Little Comp

A great many visitors are here at
tending the meeting. Space will not

enjoy their presence and are glad to
have them with as. We began to
think we would have to call on the
governor to send company Of troops
to this part of the moral vineyard
some little time back to shoot the
corn for us.
Charlton is causing no little I'M
easiness in this community. There
have been several cases among horses,
cattle and hogs. No horses have died
right in the immediate neighborhood
but two or three COWS have proved
fatal, and down near the swamp several
horses have died with it. A govern
ment is for the benefit of the people,
therefore we think it would be right
for the honorable board of supervisors,
to meet and take some steps to check
the spread of this most malignant,
fatal and contagious disease. On
some places west Of here the carcasses
have been allowed to decompose and
be devoured by buzzards, while all
should have been burned. 1t has
been proved beyond doubt that such
diseases are carried from an animal
to another and the germs infected
into their systems by insects such as
flies, gnats and mosquitoes. There
should be law or an ordinance passed
to force every CARCASS to be burned to
prevent, to some extent, the spread of
the disease and to have all horses
and mules vaccinated. A great many
people have not the ready cash to
spend upon vaccine and we believed
that 1t should be sent to infested
districts of the county by those who
have the welfare Of the people intrust-
ed to their keeping, free Of charge, to
those who will take advantage Of it.

Charlotte Elliott was born in

eighty-two. She came Of cultured

At the age Of thirty-tWo she became .

simplest rules Of hygiene.
This lack of knowledge results in
many weaknesses which crop out In
later years. greatly to the detriment
OF the general health.
The growth and development Of a
child until 1t reaches the age of 10 or
IL years Is greater than at any other
time, and 1t is during this period that
prevent any habits which will result
in crookedness or malformation of the
body In later life.
The bones of child are very soft,
and when we realize that surgeon
can bend and twist them with his
hands, it can be seen that it is very
easy for the bones of children to be
changed in shape and pressed into in
furious positions under unfavorable
conditions.
Probably one of the most common
deformities, and one which could east
ly be prevented, is a crooked back.
This is enough of Disagreement in
itself; but unfortunately, it frequently
leads to much more serious complica-
tons, such as spine or hip disease.
Keep the little back straight, and the
chances are that the rest of the body
will fall into proper position.
To straighten bow legs, held the
heel of the foot in the right hand,
grasp knee with other; straighten out
leg gently but firmly with quick-pull-
ing movement; hold the leg straight.
For knock knees, massage the
knees, encircling them with the hands
and giving them wringing movement.
The same movement around the an
kles will straighten them. Always
massage the legs from the feet up

Massaging the back and spine will
often quiet the most nervous child and
send it to sleep soothed and happy.
Keep a sharp watch on the childs
spinal column. When there is an in
clination to STOPPING shoulders, it's
more often than not the clothing. Gar
ters that pull too tightly will soon
cause the shoulders to stoop and the
chest to drop, and badly arranged
clothing has given many a child an in.
durable stoop or narrow, sunken
chest for life.

Cures Her in Five Days.

After my granddaughter of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about a
fortnight later by furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms, of considerable size.
She suffered great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
Using all the remedies we could think
of. Nothing would help. We tried the
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty
four hours we noted considerable i'm

complete set of the Cuticpra Remedies,
in five consecutive days the little one,
much to our joy, had been entirely
cured, and has been well for long

I'm sure you're mistaken about the

trouble comes in. He brought lot of

some sort of foreigners. They built
the wall, and he had 'en at work in
