 Here Is another interesting letter rom two little girls living only a short distance from Montgomery. Accom- panying the letter was photograph of the tiny tots which is herewith repro duced. Who can read the letter and look at the picture of the sweet little Rufiin sisters without wishing to help them win ''Tiser.,' the prize pony. This Is what they saw:

 Mrs. Ruffin is to be congratulated on having two such bright and charming little girls. It would be fine if sine could win 'Tisere and the little park wagon, just large enough to hold tho two. for her little daughters. Mama" is getting a good many 'scribers" for The Advertiser. but most of them are for but three and six months, instead of one year. hence she has not been getting as many votes as she ought to have in order to win the pony and wagon for her little darlings, Perhaps some of those who have given only three months subscriptions at the start will extend their subscriptions for an- other year before the contest Is over. SO as to give 5000 votes more toward the winning of the pony. Mrs. Rufiin has many friends at Troy and other places, besides her circle of friends at Prattville. who would like to see her win the pony for her children. She Is at present only No. 17 in the running and thefefore needs many votes more in order to accomplish her object.
 Changes in the score yesterday were not as numerous as on the previous days of the week. There is no change in the standing of the first eight in line, though four of them, Sallie Wat kins Wood, Virginia Bragg smith. Mrs. John Bryan and Wynette Manning. all made some gains in votes.
 see-smw Game is Stepped.
 The see-saw which Miss Wood and Miss Smith have been operating failed to work and "Watky," as her friends call her, remains on top with about tho same plurality of votes over her pop ular little rival as she had yesterday morning. Little Virginias' youngest brother was sick Yesterday. so her mother could not go out for votes hence she must be content to remain In second place today.

Session in Phtfa deiphfn.
 Philadelphia. Feb. 13.-"How better to meet the call for the future" was the principal topic of discussion at the morning session of the Presbyterian Mems Foreign Missionary Society be- Ing held in this city. A number of delegates spoke on the subject. Alfred E. Martine of New York. also address ed the convention. taking for his sub- ject "Missions, Mans Business. The final session of the convention was held tonight.
 Exhibits pertaining to .>fnissiohary work were shown In the convention number of the followers of the vari- ous religions of the world was among the exhibits. The figures are ass fol- lows: Jews 11.222.000; Creeks. 1c0,- l57,oO0: Protestants. 16s.o6e.so0: Mo- hammedans. 216.630,000; Roman Cath olics 272.638.500: heathen. 83e.732.000.
 Judge Beaver. former Governor of Pennsylvania. in his address. prodded the business men of the Presbyterian Church for the lack of interest shown in benevolence in general and In for eign missions in particuiar. Judge Beaver said that there were 1.300.000 Presbyterians in the United States. and that each one only gave a dollar a year for benevolences. Alfred E. Mart, ing of New York. in his address on missions. said the Presbyterian< were responsible for 100.ooo.0oo heathens, and that it was the duty of the res ent generations, of the church to win these people to Christianity.
 Rev. Dr. A. @L. Phillips of Rich mond. Va. conducted the conference on How men may be brought to know what God is doing in the world"
 Dr. Phillips said he recently sent out letters addressed to men in all walks of life. asking them questions regarding missionary work.
 Tho following are some of the an- male correspondence to the query uf why they did. not read missionary lit- erature:
 Lack of sanity and temperance fin style" "Dry reading" Affected with duilness, coupled with irreverent calls for money" Written for women and children" According to the answers Dr. Phillips received from the men he wrote to the official missionary organs are not extensively read by them. one man answered that the papers are ''too eniminate."' This answer reused the indignation of the Rev. pr. Trumbull Lee, former pastor of a prominent church here, who made speech in de- fense of the publications issued by the Board of Foreign Missions. The man who says that the liter ature issued by our church is effem- inate." said Dr. Lee, "displays unadui- terated ignorance. "Short and juicy is how Dr. Lee termed the leaflets pub iished by the board. Dr. Phillips then asked the big audience of cIergynen and laymen how many had read three books during the past twelve months Hardly more than a dozen of the 1900 men present raised their hands.

Civilization brings blessings and also responsibilities.
 The more highly organized we be- come the more need there is for reg ularity. and natural simplicity in the food we eat.
 The laws of body nutrition should be carefully obeyed. and the finer. more highly developed brain and nervous system not hampered by complicated unwholesome dietary.
 A lady of high nervous tension says;
 "For fifteen years was a sufferer from dyspepsia. I confess that an inn properly regulated diet was the chief cause of my suffering. Finally, noth- ing that I ate seemed to agree with my stomach. and life. at times, did not seem worth living.
 "I began to take a pessirnistic view of everything and see life through dark blue glass, so to speak. My head became affected with heavy. creeping sensation, and feared paralysis.
 "PaIpitation of the heart caused me to fear that I might die suddenly. Two years ago. hearing Grape-Nuts so high ly spoken of by some estimable friends of mine. I determined to try it.
 ''rhe change in my condition was lit tie less than miraculous. In a short time the palpitation, bad feeling in head and body began to disappear, and the improvement has continued until at the present time find myself in bet- ter health than I have ever enjoyed.
 My weight has increased 20 pounds in the last year and life lSoks bright and sunny to me as It did when was a child.
