The meeting that began at Pleasant
Grove Monday night is still going on.
It was held at the church for two days
and nights 1t was conducted by Revs
Morrison, Thomas and Releford, who
they are having meetings under large
oak near the county bridge at night on
ly. The meeting is in a very prosper
Gus condition. Fourteen gave their
hands to be prayed for, and one man
claimed the blessing. We pray that
this revival will bring many souls to
Christ, for it seems as If the people OF
this community are taking the devil
for their guide and have forgotten that
Christ shed lhis blood on Calvary to
save lost world from sin and death.
My prayer is that God will open the
ewes Of the blind. Let the people see
their own selves and may they turn to
him who doeth all things. God will
clear out the devil and reign in his
stead If the people will let him. So let
us all be up and doing, for the night
cometh when man cannot work. The
meeting last night was attended by a
large crowd. Rev. Thomas did good
work. -Four persons presented them

Beauty and
Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How
a Woman May Try to Make Them.

Cannot Go Together No Matter How
a Woman May Try to Make Them.
1t does not matter how beautiful a.
woman may be, if she is afflicted with
bad breath she will be Stunned and
pitied by men and even women will
studiously avoid her.
If any woman doubts this statement
let her make point of asking a
friend in whom she may conf1de a
man friend or relative If he he hon.
est he will tell her that foul breath
from the mouth of a woman will drive
men from her more rapidly than any
other personal affliction.
Foul breath arouses in man disgust
and where this quality is brought into
play no amount of sef-denial or rea-
soning can overcome the natural re-
pugnance which comes to man when
he is in company with such a wo-
man.
What is true of bad breath in wo-
man is not true in SO great a degree
in men. Women are looked upon as
the incarnation of sweetness, breeding,
virtue and refinement. Foul breath
will Sicken a man so that he cannot
feel for such woman companion
ship necessary to make him desire to
be in her company.
There is absolutely no occasion for
bad breath in either men or women
Charcoal, the strongest absorbent
known, when taken into the stomach
will prevent this repugnant tendency
or aff1ictfon.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold
in tremendous quantities all over
America and Canada. They cure and
have cured all forms of bad breath. A
single box will convince you of this
| fact. One should eat some of these
| lozenges after each meal and upon re-
firing You might eat fifty of them
without harm. They are not medicine,
but pure willow charcoal mixed with
/ sweet honey to make them palatable
and compressed into a iozenge to pre-
serve their peculiar and lasting
strength.
| The next time you wish to go into
company and don't want your foul
breath to humiliate you, eat several
| of Stuart's Charcoal L1ozenges and
your breath will be pure and sweet.

TRADE IS QUIET.
Preparations For Spring Business
Generally Active.
Bradstreets
Business

New York, Jan. s.-Bradstreets
says:
Post-hoIiday quiet rules as yet in
general trade, but active preparations
are being made for the spring seasons
trade by jobbers while retailers are
announcing sales to clear accumulated
stocks of winter goods. In wholesale
jobbing lines inventories have been
finished and preparations for spring
are actively under way. Collections
show little change from previous re-
ports being still slow at the south but
better at some western points. Gener-
ally speaking the outlook is one of
cheerfulness tempered by conserva-
tism.
On the whole, the iron and steel
markets are quite dull as regards new

found it a most fascinating occupa-
ton. Mr.. Hopkins declares that west
ern Kansas is deeply interested in all
things pertaining to forestry. People
think and speak of western Kansas as
prairie country with shallow rivers,
shifting sands, short grass and a few
big sugar plants. Now Mr.. Hopkins
is convinced that trees can be made to
grow there as we'll as anywhere else
in the country. He recognizes the
great benefits that will accrue from a
forest growth and is determined to
see the plan given thorough trial.
The government has forest reserve
of over two hundred thousand acres
west of Garden City and so far exper-
iments with planting trees have prog
ressed satisfactory. The main fea-
lures of the new forestry bill are as
follows:
First-A forestry commission to be
composed of the governor. chancellor
of the State university, president of
the State Normal school, president of
the State Agricultural college and a
nurseryman of recognized authority.
This commission to have general
advisory supervision of state forestry
matters.
Second-A state forester to be
selected by the governor, one who
shall be, practical forester. perhaps
a graduate in forestry from some
recognized institution. or one recom-
mended by the United States forestry
service, who shall have his Office in
Topeka; salary of $4,000 per annum.
Third-Two assistants to the state
forester, to be selected by the forestry
commission, who shall be practical for
esters. One to be in charge of the
Dodge City station, and one in charge
of the station a. Ogallah at a salary of
81, 200 per annum, each
Fourth-The county clerks of the sew
eral counties shall act as distributing
agents for trees and seedlings sent out
by forestry stations to applicants
therefor. All applications for trees or
seedlings to be made by the applicants,

sALLoW COMPLEXION
Changed to Ruddy Glow.

No one likes a sallow, muddy COM
plexion. Many who are so afflicted do
not realize that the daily consumption
of coffee is likely the cause.
Coffee contains a drug-caffeine-
which so irritates the nerves of the
stomach that food is not properly di-
gested and that causes bad blood.
1t weakers, by it's after effects. the
amount of life-giving oxygen is not
taken into the lungs and that is an
other cause of bad blood. 1t is often
the cause of sallow complexion and
nervousness also.
During the past year" writes a
Conn. lady, ct found that L was grad
ualIy growing nervous through some
unknown cause. 1 was peevish and
restless, and my complexion had that
sallow disagreeable color seen in
