of 1912, unless the House is dissolved
sooner,
The power of the associated mon

entrenched in two principal ways-in
the Bundesrath, which has equal legis-

the Conservative and Clerical parties,
Clerical parties, which have, under
the ancient system of the Reichstag

THE SINGING CONVENTION

The singing convention at the Bap-
fist church last Sunday was partici-
pated in by only two classes, Newark
and Oakland.
Prof. Bird had charge of the Newark
class, and Prof B. F. Cash had
charge of the Oakland class. The
Oakland class was permitted to sing
their selections first and then the New
ark class sang. Each class was cheer
ed by the other, and both were compli-
mented very highly by the audience.
In the afternoon several selections
from the old Christian Harmony were
rendered by some of the old time sing
ers. Newark and Oakland then sang
several pieces in concert and those
who failed to hear them, missed treat.
Oakland school house was selected
as the place for the next convention to
be held the second Sunday in July.
John Austin was elected president for
the ensuing year, and it was left to his
discretion to appoint secretary.

IMPROVEMENT CLUBS

The organization of neighborhood
Improvement club would be boon to
many communities. Men, no matter
how busy they may be, will always
find time to go where they wish to go,
and if the clubs were well conducted,
with entertainments to sustain the in
terest and encourage attendance,
rivalry as to the results might be cult
waited, and even prizes offered for the
neatest-kept home grounds. Very few
will be so busy, even at the busiest
time of the year, that they cannot
spare few hours once or twice a
month, to meet together and discuss
questions concerning the betterment of
the home life, while such gatherings
would be a relief for the women tied
down to the routine of housework. -

LION. LAPS. u. McCoRD, 1925 G ST.,
! / Washington, d. c., Ex-Adjutant
General State of Tennessee, and States
Attorney at Nashville, Is an ardent
friend of Peruna. He does not hesitate
to give public endorsement to this very
excellent remedy.
AS a tonic Peruna has no superior.
But it is as catarrh remedy it has
achieved its worldwide notoriety and
success.
Any catarrh remedy to become per-
manently effeetual in the cure of ca
tarrh must contain tonic and invigorat-
ing qualities with it's anti-catarrhal
qualities. Cafarrh Is always an express
sion of nerve weakness, either local
or general. It is, therefore, important
that a catarrh remedy should possess
reliable invigorating qualities in order
to thoroughly rid the system of catarrh.

Nome, Alaska, was formerly member
of the English House of Parliament
and Secretary to the late Irish patriot,
Charles Stewart Parnell. His Wash

mend your remedy as very effective
