ESCAPED FROM THE
 UNDER WORLD
Noted Man to Tell Experi-
 ence.

Alexander Irvine. the noted lecturer orator and writer, is to speak at the popular series of Mems Meetings at the Y. M. c. A. tomorrow afternoon on "Hcw I Escaped from the Under World? At eighteen Irvine had not sufficient education to be able to write his own name. The story of how he overcame such difficulties and became a leader of men, and the thrilling ex- periences of his varied and busy career will prove to be mighty helpful and in- spring. His message to men is stir ring and enthusiastic and has an ex- tremely practical bearing on the life of the day: his knowledge of men and their problems has been gained at first hand and his talent for expression can- not fail to wildly impress his hearers.
 Hutzels orchestra is to play again, commencing soon after the building is opened The program will also in clude songs by MT. Sidney Hellings, a well known local soloist. The usual time for opening will be observed 2:30 F. M.
 At S:3O the formal program will be- gin with a good song by all, after which Mr. Irvine will speak. These meetings for men only are held at the Building, corner Main and Gilbert streets.

''Girls" Is Everything
 Girls Ought to Be

Clyde F'itch's latest comedy "Girls" opened an engagement at Smiths theatre, last night, before a well filled house and pleased the audience inn mensely by the refreshing fun of it's many and varied situations. The play has behind it the record of a long met ropolitan run which attests to it's ster- ling quality and the wealth of humor brilliantly interspersed in it's three acts. The reception of the play was most cordial and curtain calls were nu- merous, especially after pair of dain ty we'll manicured little "tootsies' peeped from underneath the covers at the end of the first act.
 The author shows some of the strug gles of girl in a big city bravely working out her destiny against odds, pictures the gay old boy who insists on flirting with his stenographer and ridicules exquisitely the man and wo- man whose chief trait is hatred of the opposite sex.

 The missionary work of the Congre- gational church is carried out through the efforts of several specialized or ganizations.
 The missionary work of the Congre- gational churches is carried on through the agency of several specialized or ganizations. The American Board specializes upon foreign missions, con- ducting missions entirely outside the territory of the United States. The Home Missionary Society specializes upon the line of pastoral and evange- 1istic work in organized Congregation al churches throughout the United States. The speciality of the American Missionary Association is work by church and school for the backward peoples in this country belonging to 
 The speciality of the Church Building Society is to help struggling churches, by loan or grant, to reach self-support, through housing their congregations and ministers. The Education Society has for It's special mission to sustain schools of the higher grades in re- gions not otherwise provided with them, and assist promising students for the ministry who could not other wise get the necessary training.
 The Sunday School and Publishing Society finds it's special missionary service establishing and maintaining Sunday schools where as yet there is no church organization. While the Board of Ministerial Relief has it's specialized mission in caring for un- fortunate and dependent in the fami- lies of disabled Congregational minis terS.
 Three of them, the American Board, the Home Missionary Society, and the American Missionary Association, each closed it's last fiscal year under Q con- siderable burden of debt. The total of this indebtedness is S27S,094.84. To pro- vide for this these societies must take measures either separately or together. They decided to make of it one strong, concerted measure, such as would en- able the other four societies to partici-

Foul Breath Made Pure and Sweet By the Use of Stuart's Char
 coal Lozenges.
Trial Package Sent Free.

DO not go among your friends with a breath so odious as to make your presence distastefuI. Foul breath is capable of easy removal if you will take little time to overcome it. Gen. erally foul breath comes from one of two causes, impure gases or foul di- gestive fluids.
 Charcoal is the strongest absorbent of foul gases known. It positively at tracts poisonS and neutraliZeS their evil effects.
 A noted French physician swallow ed strychnine enough to kill three men and with a teaspoonful of char coal removed the bad effects of this terribly swift poison.
 A little charcoal in bed room or cellar will make foul air pure. Pure willow charcoal mixed with honey are the component parts of Stuart's Char coal LOZengeS and pure breath is the result of their use after meals. Simply disoslve two or three after meals and at bed time and foul breath fees at once No matter how you cause these gases, whether by bad food, alcohol or abuse of the stomach, Stuart's Char coal Lozenges will stop gas making and sweeten the breath.
 They are perfectly harmless and the eating of a box would cause you no inconvenience whatever.
 Charcoal is hard to prepare for the stomach because it must be strong and pure and most people will not take it unless made palatable. Stuart's inimitable process presents charcoal to the taste and system in all the nicety desired
 Choice virgin willow is burnt into desirable charcoal; this is mixed with pure honey and the combination is compressed under tremendous power into a lozenge of great pleasantness and efficiency.
 Don't let your bad breath make people cross the street to avoid you; go to the nearest drug store and buy a box of Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges today and eat what you will. Two or three after the meal will sweeten your breath at once. If you want proof of this fact send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address F. A.

 Congress Street Foot-Bridge Nearly
 Ready.
 The entire East Side is delighted at the welcome news flashed about that district yesterday. Since the removal of the Congress street bridge. this sec- tion has been practically isolated. But the reports circulated yesterday have brought about the old state of affairs The news concerning the minstrel show and dance of the St. Joseph's T. L. 6 B. Association. at Eagles hall, On Feb. 22 and 23 is the incentive. Realizing that those are the last nights to enjoy themselves before the commencement of the Lenten season and being anxious to join with those not isolated by re- moval of bridge on West Side, the op- porturity is presented. The local hits and songs of this famous troupe united with the electrical effects cannot be outdone. Director Harry Maloney has worked hard and faithfully and is more than satisfied with the result Frank Mayne will have charge of elec- tric display. Don't forget this event, if you want to laugh and then enjoy g. dance to the strains of Maloney's orchestra.
