wArERwAYs IMPROVEMENT.

ONE Of the most important committees OF the
~ House OF Representatives is becoming
known as the missionary board 1t is the Rivers
and Harbors Committee, of which Representative
Theodore +. Burton. of Ohio, is chairman. Under
his leadership, the members do not while away
their time in the comfortable chairs that surround
the long table in the spacious room on the ground
floor of the Capitol. They are flung far aheld to
make investigations, proffer advice and speak be-
fore waterways improvement meetings.
Three members of the committee are absent
from Washington at present. They are Represen-
tatives Joseph E. Ransdell of Louisiana; Brdsall,
of Iowa, and Ellis, of Missouri The trio has been
in attendance on the Indiana Rivers and Harbors
Congress, which was held in Indianapolis, and
the Missouri River Navigation Congress, at
Sioux City. All three made addresses
Representative Ransdell, while a member of
the Rivers and Harbors Committee, is also presi-
dent Of the National Rivers and Harbor Con-
gress This latter organization is what its name
mplies-national in character. 1t stands for the
policy of general Improvements and under no cir
cumstances will endorse or advocate any indivd-
ual plan Of improvement It's membership is
made up Of local waterways development organ-
zations shippers and firms, and it counts its
members in practically every State and Territory
in the Union.
The meeting at indianapolis aroused inter
est at the capital The fact that a large and en-
thusiastic meeting was possible in a city that had
no naVigaDle rlNer at us door, mas brought torcl-
bly, to the attention of Congress the extent TO
which interest in the general policy of waterways
development has grown. 1t is now generally rec
ognized that the proper development of rivers
and harbors is of as vast and vital Importance to
communities removed from the sea coast or the
great rivers as it is to those peoples living on
their shores or banks.

LIE VALUE oF cHARcoAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; il is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal efectually clear and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed OF the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large pleasant tasting loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
tion of the general health. better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is, that no possible
harm can result from their continued
use, but, on the contrary. great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. in speaking of
the benefits Of charcoal, says: Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and TO clear the complexion
and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver is great
ly benefited by the daily use Of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents box
at drug stores, and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet I be-
lieve l get more and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in
any Of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

VALUE OF A PROMISE
Whereby Are Given Unto Us Ex-
oeeding Great and Precious Prom =
ises.-2 Peter, la.
BY the Rev. c. 7. Wyatt, D. D.

The value of a promise depends upon
the ability and character of the prom
iser The notes issued by this gov
ernment are good, because the gov
ernment is solvent There is gold
in the Treasury to redeem these bank
notes. A confederate note is worth
nothing, for the confederacy has gone
to pieces But the strongest banks
may fail through peculations and gov
ernments may become bankrupt. But
God Is faithful who has promised. All
of Gods promises are true and unfail-
ing. They are exceeding great and
precious.
Take a few sample promises: What
soever We shall ask in my name" says
Jesus, that will / do" What a breadth
and sweep in this promise
Are we in the depths Of sin?
'He Is able TO save to the uttermost
all that come unto God through him."
Are we discouraged or faint-hearted? ?
He says: "A1y grace is sufficient for
thee"
DO we dread death?
He says, when thou passest through
the waters l will be with thee and
through the rivers they shall not over
.flow thee"
Here is a promise TO cover every
range of mans need, whether Of body,
mind or soul
They are equal to al emergencies.
The night is needed to bring out the
brightness of the stars.
Many a promise has been locked up
in memory until some sorrow has
come to us, and then IL flashed like a
star Of the first magnitude
Before Nansen started for the Arctic
regions In search Of the North Pole,
his wife who was an accomplished
singer sang some beautiful songs into
a photograph, then his little four year
old boy with prattling speech talked
into the instrument words of sweet af-
fection. When in that long Arctic
winter amid the cry Of the polar bear
and the roar Of the tempest the crew
were discouraged and homesiclS. Nan
sen would call the men together and
out of the phonograph would come two
voices which made them weep for JOY
They thought Of home and loved ones
who longed to greet them.
/ Amid our discouragements and the
wintry blasts of our pilgrimage may
we not think Of Gods word as a phon-
ograph into which he has spoken words
Of love for each one of us. Out of the
old Boble, oh how precious the book, we
hear our Fathers voice in tender ac-
cents bidding us be good cheer, say
ing, Fear Thou Not"
These promises are all true, they car
never fail.
"All the promises Of God in Him are
yea and in Him Amen"
The promises cluster at the foot OF
the cross. and shine like diamonds in
the sands of Golconda.
Men meet with disasters and cannot
at all times fulfill their promises.
But He who made the world and the
stars spalSe all the promises. The wort
tells us that Gods children inherit the
promises. For the promise is unite
you and TO your children and TO al
that are afar on"
We should rest upon the promises

BRYAN AS DELAWARE VISITOR

MIR. BRYAN has been a rather frequent Wis
i l. itor to Delaware. Since he achieved ma
tional reputation he has always been greeted IN
this State by large gatherings. Some time pre-
viouslv TO 1906, Mr.. Bryan first visited Delaware
and spoke before small audience IN down
town hall on the silver question. AT that time he
had been a member of Congress. While a con-
gresham he had won applause and commenda-
ton from the New York Democratic newspapers
because of a speech he had delivered ON tariff
revision He was pointed out then as one OF the
promising coming leaders Of the Democratic
party.
All this commentator, of course, ceased when
Mr.. Bryan became a Democratic candidate Tor
President on the free silver platform Since that
time-ISo6-he has been pursued anu denounced
with vehemence, rarely seen in these days, by
the so-called gold Democratic organs. And to-
day there is little change in their relations to-
wards Mr. Bryan, although among the masses
of those who once supported the gold Democratic
cause, Mr.. Bryan is regarded with more respect
Upon the masses of the Democrats Mr.. Bryan
still retains firm hold. This is shown by the
apparent failure of the leaders of the wing OF the
party that opposes BRYAN to make percepuble
headway in their efforts to prevent his nomna-
ton.
