A Bright Wood 1alUn YOllngster

We reproduce above a gratifying in- dication of the general interest taken in our Gift Distribution by the bright little boys and girls of the whole Bir- mingham District We had real sur prise Thursday morning when this lit tie card reached us-yery neatly printed on Bristol board, 2x31s inches. We feel very proud of it-but we had absolutely no hand in 1t. The boys own originality must get all the credit We might never have seen it had not one of our Woodlawn employees brought it in. She thought we would appreciate it-and we did.

In 1872 there was a great deal OF III
arrhoea, dysentery and cholera infan'
tum. 1t was at this time that Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera an Diarrhoea
Remedy was first brought into use. 1t

remedy or treatment, and has for thir-
ty-iye years maintained that record.
From q small beginning its sale and
use has extended to every part Of the
United States and to many foreign
countries. Nine druggists out Of ten

medicines that pay them a greater

ABOUT FOREIGN MISSIONS.

The Lander State journal is of the
opinion that the money spent by
the people of the civilized nations and
America in particular in trying to
convert heathens to Christianity could
be used to better advantage in bring
ing the heathens of our big city slums
to the manless land of the west, In
could be accomplished for Christian.
ity than by sending missionaries to
China, Japan. India, etc. The Repub.
lican believes the Lander paper is
right. Is 1t not of greater importance
to Christianity that the people of the
already civilized nations should be
brought to higher and higher stan
dards than that vast labor and money
should be expended to CONVEX heath
els to a religion they neither compre-
bend o appreciate?
The Journals view of tie matter
follows.
The American people spend mil,
lions of dollars every year on foreign
