Use of the Scriptures" the Rev. Dr'
Soltau said in part: :.
Christ quoted the Old Testament IN
driving back suggestions of temptation
in the wilderness, which is pointer Ior
the destructive. critics to consider. For
can you meet temptation better than
that? AS If the modern professor Oh
theology in seminary knew more
about the Scriptures than Deity him-
self That is the INSULT That IS an at
tack upon the deity Of our LORD Jesus
Christ.
Christ gives us his own weapons
with which to fight these battles. the
two-edged sword of the Spirit OF God
the Bible.
"And if we have courage enough we
will say with him: 1T is written
when temptations come against us.

Difficulty

Claiming that Jack Hendricks and
his wife, tenants of the Casa del Pico,
have been destroying the furnishings
of the hotel. which she owns, Mrs.
Elizabeth Burner yesterday asked for
a restraining order to prevent further
destruction.
Mrs. Burner was suing her husband
for divorce at the time of his death
a year ago, but dropped the action
when she learned of his demise and
obtained possession of his property,
which consisted of the Casa del Pico
and two lots on Vermont avenue, the
total value of which was $4,000.
According to her complaint she
leased the place to Hendricks, but re-
ceived no money in January and Feb

Four O'Clock Friday Afternoon Is the
Time Set for the Shooting of

Inquiry at the w. p. Chase & Co
Zee-Nut factory yesterday demon
! strated more and more clearly the
whirlwind of enthusiasm everywhere
being created over The Herald's Zee
! Nut explosion, which will occur Fri
day, March 6, at p. M, from the sum
nit of the Zee-Nut factory, 420-42.
South Broadway.
| From every quarter comes express
| sions of approval of the aggressive and
original plan of giving free presents to
the public.
Yesterday The Herald and also the
Zee-Nut factory were besieged with
| jolly, rollicking boys and girls from the
various schools of the city, all eager
to hear about the explosion and ses
some of the gifts to be secured with
! the free coupons to be picked up after
the coupon shower
They all appreciate the fact that
| these are free coupons in every sense
of the word. 1t is not necessary to buy
anything-not even a copy of The Her
ala or a package of Zee-Nut. You are
not obliged to get a certain number of
these coupons to get prize. They are
all, absolutely free and every coupon
draws prize iii accordance with the
list enumerated below; but only one
prize to each Individual so when you
get one coupon try to be satisfied.
Waltz a Feature
The Zee-Nut waltz song, the one fea-
ture of the explosion scheme which
did not appeal very strongly to The Her
aid when the idea was conceived, has
developed to such an extent as to crowd
insistently for second place to Zee-Nut
itself.
The interest taken has been of such
nature that it has been decided to
produce this catchy little melody Tor
full orchestra work.
Fourteen orchestra leaders have al
ready applied for complete orchestra
sets, and they, together with all others
who desire will be supplied free OF
charge.
The clever arrangement of the song
and the tuneful accompaniment is
peculiarly adapted for quartet work,
and arrangements have already been
made by the Alexandria quartet for its
rendition at the Indian grill
Four of the high grade bands of the
city are also to play the Zee-Nut waltz.
The song will be published in hand
some colored covers and will be de-
cidedly attractive edition in every re-
spect.
The Prizes
Don't forget the six big dollars to be
given to six proud coupon holders.
Remember the six boxes of delicious
candy that you will need for Sunday
night.
Just think of the six Field fourteen
karat fountain pens.
One of those six handsome watch
fobs would adorn a white shirt waist
in a most fetching manner at the
sea side next summer.
A nice birthday gift one of those six
handsome Autographs would make.
And then, to think of the 800 free
packages of Zee-Nut. Gee! but it's
goodD
And if you waltz around lively and
keep good time you'll get a copy of
Zee-Nut waltz.
We feel sure you will be unable 10
