There was spirited rivalry In the North
minister Presbyterian Church last night
a friendly competition in giving. The Oc-
casiOn was the opening Of a eampaign 70
clear the debt hanging over the oongre-
cation. which was incurred in the build
ing OF the new edihce.
The new church is only year old. and
the anniversary was. therefore. appropri-
ate FOR the launching Of the work. The
congregation has already succeeded in
diseharsinE the major portion OF its ohli-
cation. and the present debt is about
$1,000 The cost OF the new edifice. with
the purchase Of land. was $500.
Nearly 5000 was subscribed last night
in few minutes. This IS exclusive Of a
private subscription by card The con-
tributions came in rapidly and in such
volume that even the most optimistic were
surprised. II was an inspiring scene
when member after member arose with
out exhortatiOn and announced personal
contributions ranging from 500 downward.
First Subscription Is $500.
The first subscription came from L
CabeH Williamson. chairman OF the build
ing committee. He gave 500. and his
wife duplicated the amount The same
sum was given by DR.. II. c. Bennett.
making q total Of $3.50 TO start the fund.
After that the contributions came in
thick and fast, nearly all ranging from
800 to SO Rev George 2. Wilson. pastor
OF the church. was kept busy recognizing
members on the floor who desired 70
speak simultaneously.
1t is true that this splendid new
church property is all but free OF debt
said DR.. Wilson. The land cost US Sl5.O00
and the church S4o0o0. The obligation was
largely lioUGated with the proceeds OF
the sale OF our old church building in \
street and two valuable pieces Of land
belonging 70 II. Now we have this $1,000
to raise. as far as possible. through the
personal efforts OF the members OF the
church.
I'VE cannot approach business men with
requests for subscriptions until we have
made a mighty effort ourselves and ex-
emplihed that we deserve assistance.
These subscriptions must mean something
70 US. They must represent our love for
the church. When we have gone as far
as we can. Il Is then just TO call upon

Plain Men Attract Women.
From the Strand

rOm the Stf9nQ.
A fact that no one can deny Is that
for some women a really plain man
seems to have definite power Of at
traction. Can 1t be that, IL beautiful
themselves. they find a charm I'm their
opposite; or is 1t that they brook no
rival near the throne, and see In Q
handsome man more or less OF q COM
petitor? A good-looking husband or
brother attracts notice. and her royal
highness woman may refuse to be In
the background. At any rate, there can
be no doubt that an ugly man seems
often to WELD an influence that Is quite
uncanny.
The trend of the times may have some
thing to say on the subject. A modern
woman, with her brains and her freedom
and her strenuous ideals. has no use, for
what Is weak insipid and decadent. She
has no place In her heart for the scented
exquisite. who waves his hair, twists his
mustache. manicures his hands and adj
mires his face in the looking-giass. In
fact, pink and white prettinees. Is now
lat a discount. and most OF us would
sooner see our men brown and battered
and serenely conscious Of their own lack
of attractions. Rough-hcwn features. we
say. show strength, and q plain form
may be the shell of q great soul. a keen
brain and soaring ambitions. Certain il
is that the Adonis type has gone out OF
fashion. The woman Of today scorns the
beauty man." avoids him as q friend
and disregards him as husband.

New tuberculosis Cure
Based ON Medicine

Did II ever occur to you that the reason medl-
cal doctors have so little success In curing Tu-
berculosis is because they really do not practice
medicine?
To say that . specific exists for the cure Of
Consumption is perhaps too strong a statement,
bat in Eckman's Alternative we have a medicine
that has been the means Of saving many q life
to years Of usefulness and in permanently curing
q large number Of Consumptises.
Telling every sufferer to gorge himself with
eggs and milk Is apparently the limit Of modern
treatment. Certainly a person anlicted with
wasting disease should be well fed with whole
ssme nourishing food: but frequently raw eggs
In quantities cause a digestive breakdown, and
then no food nourishes. AS for milk. very good
food for many; but a producer OF biliousness for
rome.
Any diet that keeps q consumptiye well nour-
ished Is the right one. but what is going to cure
the patient -Eckman's Alternative has cured and
is curing many case of Consumption. Let those
speak who know. Here Is q specimen:
