Picking, April 29.-The British gov.

causes of the increasing a%ntagonism
of the Chinese on the mainland to the

has violated article 4 Of the treaty of

The rapidity with which Japan is

anxious concerning all incidents that
furnish a precedent to Japan, such as
the question of the control of the mu-

here that China, as a result of friend

Hague to deprive of legal force the
interpretations of the secret proto-

Japan are imposing on her.

disappeared.

RETIRED BUSINESS MAN IS
IN FAVOR Of new THEORY

One of the most interesting state.
ments made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread v e the country during the
past year, is made by E. H. Lambert,
a retired business man, whose home is
at lis Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines: Some time ago 1 read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble vas
directly responsible for most iii health.
He went on to say that, although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom-
ach in sound condition, 1t wonld, in
many cases, remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments.
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause of sickness, and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines was due entirely
to this fact.
II am now fully convinced that this
theory is correct, and believe Cooper
has a really remarkable medicine,
judging from my own experience.

Pure Food Show Gives Highest Award

Pure Food Show Gives Highest Award
Calumet baking Powder received
the highest award at the Worlds
Pure Food Exposition held in Chi
cago, November 1907. This is
quite a compliment, considering
that it had to be better in Purity
and Quality than any Of the other
brands.
The great progress that the
Calumet Baking Powder Go. has
made in the past twenty years is
due to the fact that they are the
only manufacturers in the world
putting out a strictly high-grade
baking powder at a moderate price.
This, together with the fact that
Calumet Baking Powder Go is in no
way affiliated with the Trust, has
won for it millions Of friends and
patrons.
Wholesomeness and price are
the two first essentials in a food
product. The very fact that it
received this highest award will
settle forever in the minds of the
public the purity question.
That it retails for 25c per pound,
or about one-half the price Of the
Trust brands, is positive proof
that the price is right.
Calumet Baking Powder is
chemically correct; therefore, the
food prepared by it is absolutely
free from any injurious substance.
It gives the best and most uniform
results. It never loses it's strength
and the last teaspoonful is just as
good as the first.
The Calumet Baking Powder
Co. has demonstrated beyond a
doubt that the best baking powder
that can be manufactured should

Matching Waists.

There are waists made of guipure
lace in dull colorings, either broad in
sertions being employed or the all
over lace. They are mounted usually
upon matching taffeta, and are worn
with s%elf-colored skirts of wolfe or
other lightweight materials used in
the construction Of suits. The idea
is not a new one, but the perfection
reached in ~coloring laces to match
the various fabrics which enter into
the makeup Of suits makes these lace
waists very attractive adjuncts to the

The Operations of the Spirit.

Perhaps there was lever a time in
tie history Of the church when there
was a greater need for a discerning
spirit. Much has been written con-
corning The work of the Holy Spirit,
and yet the mode of His operations
and the variety of His manifestations
are but feebly realized by many. To
walk in the Spirit is to have all our
activities in Him. We become the
mouthpiece through which He
breathes His prayer and an instru-
ment through which He performs
His work.
The many-sidedness of the SPIRITS
ministry Is an inexhaustible study. A.
B. Simpson, commenting on the neces-
sary feature of the Comforter's work.
says: Z
THE Holy Spirit when He takes
possession Of a yielded heart, be-
comes pre-eminently the Spirit OF
intercession. The newly baptized
soul is often perpleEed about its lead
lngs. and burdens of prayer. They
are not always manifested through
joyful experiences, but are often
painful and p%erplexing burdens. Un-
til we come to understand His voice
we are apt to sometimes think that
We are under the temptation or cloud
of the adversary's presence. The
brain will become oppressed, and the
heart distressed, and we may be-
tempted to think that there is some
cloud between US and our Lord.
"At such times let us simply roll
wei our burden on Him without try
Ing to understand it, and simply pray
for what He mea for US to ask.
As we do so we shall find our heart
drawn out in intense intercession and
rest will come to the. burdened soul
Sometimes particular persons or
things will be suggested to US, and
we shall find great liberty in pleading
for them. After such seasons OF
waiting upon God u spirit will be-
come rested, refreshed and greatly
q%uickeDed. .'
I'VE may not always learn directly
of the result of our intercession for
others. but we will know God has ac-
cepted our service, and often we shall
find in the course Of Hi providence
that some evil was averted, or some
blessing bestowed through u pray
er, in some other life.
LAS we follow on to know the Lord
we shall find this spirit of interces-
sion mingling with all our spiritual
life and running as an undertone
even in the midst of the busiest ac-
~tivities of our hands and brain. It is
possible to pray without ceasing' and
vot he Intensely occupied in the Drac-
teal duties Of life, carrying music in
our hearts, while our busy feet the
holy strain repeat."-Living Waters.

Tragedy of Fish Life.

Fish never die a natural DEATH"
said an old fisherman who has OBJ
served as he ished. "If they did,
bodies of dead fish would be floating
on the surface of the water all the
while, because such bodies, If unmo-
Tested, would have to float.
IF fish in their native element
we're never molested I believe they
would never die. If they had suf-
fcient food, which would be impossi-
BILE if they no longer preyed on n
another, there would be no reason
for their dying. 1t was to prevent
such uninterrupted tenure of life that
all fish we're made fercely predatory,
if not remorselessly cannibalistic, as
many kinds are.
"A fish's life is a constantly siren
uous one and one entirely selfish. A
fish live. only to eat and to avoid
being eaten" Los Angeles Times.

Patience Glorifes God.

One of the g~randest ways Of prais-
ing God Is not by singing psalms and
hymns; that is a very sweet way OF
praising Him, but a grander way Is
by being quite calm in time OF
trouble. quite happy in the hour of
distress; just dwelling with God, and
finding all your grief assuaged in
His blessed presence. How really.
and truly a child praise lis father
when he just bears anything from
Him? 1T must be right for my
Father does it." And 1 believe that
when a child of God says, 1T is the
Lord let Him do what seemeth Him
good" he is praising God more than
he could with the cornet or the high
sounding cymbal.-Newncss of Life.

Separate Hat Trimmings.

One Of the novelties of the day Is
to have half a dozen trimmings for
one hat. Long ago, when economy
went hand in hand with variety,
women often did this trick, just as
they furnished up a black frock with
bows Of different colored ribbon and
wore it over different colored slips.
The thing was done differently then.
A hat was swept of n kind of trim
ming and another kind substituted,
different in idea and fabric, as well
as in color. The way they obtain
different trimming now is to make
crown bands with octopus bows Of
varying colors of tafeta and satin
ribbon. These they attach to the
hat with strong pins that have col
.ored glass heads to match in color.

Chorus Girl Famine.

London theatres are suffering from
a scarcity Of chorus girls-that is,
chorus girls who are good both to

the famine of feminine beauties for
the stage is the fact that more girls
are applying for jobs than for years.
The scarcity of girls who can sing is
particularly noticeable. One London
manager says he examined 200 appli-
cants without finding one who met
all the requirements. Too many OF
them are trying to educate their emo

Embroidered Coats.

The newest coats are cut with the
long panels down each side Of the
front and each side Of the back, which
are heavily embroidered with braid
and handwork. A remarkable thing
about these is that they extend almost
to the knees, while the middle of the
sides and the back are quite short, the
slit extending above the waist.
