MORE MISSIONARY
WORK At HOME

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Announcement
was made today of new missionary
movement in the Methodist church,
which is said to be the most important
thing 1t has undertaken in fifty years.
The church papers this week will tell
the world that the foreign missionary
and home missionary departments have
been separated and the Home Mission
ary Society made an independent body.
Since the formation of a missionary So
ciety in the Methodist church the two
departments have been in one society,
the funds being apportioned according
to q rule fixed by general conference.
For some time 1t has been apparent
to the church tlignitaries that the home
missionary field was growing in inn
portance and with the year 1907 the
home field will be relatively as impor-
tant In its standing in church councils
as the foreign missionary field. 1t is
planned to raise $1,000,000 for use in
the home field.
To further the project it has been de-
cided to establish a new church paper
as the organ of the Home Missionary
Society. The publication office Will be
at Philadelphia. The name of the pa
per will be the Christian Republic.

FROM PULP
OF THE CACTUS

COTULLA. Tex. Dec. 3O.-The mill
lions Of acres of cecti-covered lands of
the Southwest may become a. source
of enormous profit to their owners If
the claim which is made by chemical
experts who have been In this locality
for some time examining into the cac-
tus plant is well founded. A series
OF experiments have been. made of
distilling wood alcohol from the cac-.
tus leaves. These experiments have
proved highly successful, and it is
said that there is hardly an acre of
wild land in this part Of Texas that
viii not produce 800 worth of wood
alcohol from the cactus. The men
who have been conducting these ex-
periments are said to represent a syn
dicate OF Eastern. capitalists. who pro-
pose to establish wood alcohol- dis
tilling plants in. different parts. of the
Southwest Much of the land upon
which the cactus plant grows in pro-
fusion has heretofore been considered
practically worthless. The cactus at
tains a growth of several feet in
contain large proportion of watery
substance. II has been demonstrated
that the pulp OF the. leaves is good
for paper making.
The importance Of the discovery that
wood alcohol can be distilled from the
cactus plant lies. in the fact that
It viii afford an unlimited source of
supply Of that product, and the price
will necessarily be greatly cheapened
1t is claimed further by those who are
interested in the new Industry that
wood alcohol will soon take the place
Of gasoline and Kerosene in automo-
biles, engines and stoves.
The new discovery will make million
aires out of many ranch owners in
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico if the
value OF the cactus plant is anything
as big as lis claimed for ii by these
chemical experts. IL is said that a ton
of cactus leaves viii yield nearly half
the weight in wood alcohol. The
process OF distillation is very simple
and comparatively inexpensive.

scene wonderfully beautiful in its con-
trast The sun shone brightly in the
valley. but the air, blown from the icy
hills, was sharp enough. The immense
throng of visitors that yearly crowd

Mrs. Howard sued the railroad
company for damages because her

said in part:

to regulate this relation or liability,
but simply announces by>an act of

My conclusion is that Congress is not

PreIate Says Archbishop Ireland VIII
Not BE Cardinal

. ROME. Jan 1.-The Giornale d'Italia
publishes an interview with proTni-
nent English prelste concerning the
appointment of an American Cardinal
The prelate in question reviews re-
cent events. particularly the encyclical
Of Pope Leo against Americanism,
which he declares was written by Car
dinaI Nastalli. This encyclical dis
pleased Cardinal Gibbons. who, think
ing it was inspired by Cardinal RAM
polla, joined the Austrian and Ger
man Cardinals in defeating Rampolla
at the last conclave.
Continuing, the prelate says it was
thought that Archbishop Ireland would
be made Cardinal when Pope Leo
called him from Paris. where he was
representing the United States at the
unveiling of the Lafayette statue. This,
however. is now unlikely, in spite of
the fact that President Roosevelt has
urged another American prelate to ap-
proach the Vatican privately to this
end
The situation has been aggravated
by the Storer incident, and II Arch
bishop ireland should be given the red
hat the appointment must be ascribed

A TRIAL PACKAGE HREE.

Many q sufferer from Dyspepsia, Indi-
gestion and kindred ailments of the d.
gestive organs carries around an abso-
lutely useless stomach-a dead load.
and a cesspool for ever-increasing dis
orders. The muscles are seemingly
worn out. the mucous lining has lost
into the stomach lies there and fer
ments, causing sour eructations, belch-
ings, heartburn, dizziness and other
distressing conditions. Many suf-
they have been induced by some inter-
ested friend to try box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are the
dyspeptics sure and only hope. They
are a natural restorative of healthy ac-
tion to the stomach and small fntes-
tines, because they supply just the ele-
ments that the weak stomach lacks
pepsin, diastase, golden seal and other
digestives.
If you are affiicted with any of the
symptoms above described, be assured
that your digestive organs are losing
power-they need help and there is
no more sensible help to be given
them than to supply elements which
viii do the work of digestion for them.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
found by the test of reputable physi-
clans In the United States and Great
Britain to have remarkable digestive
powers, one grain of the active prin-
cipie of these tablets being sufficient
to digest 5000 grains of ordinary food.
III is plain that no matter what the
condition of your stomach, or how far
your disease has progressed, one only
OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken at
meal time will do the work-give your
stomach an opportunity TO regain its
lost powers, the muscles will be
strengthened, the glands invigorateo
