Amerca who remember Bad Bill as the

He joined the Chicago Nationals in

REVIVALIST
BECOMES RoNDsMAN FOR HIS
OLD PASTOR AND
FRIEND.

Inspector Walter S. Mayer, who years
ago was converted through the minis
try of Rev. George Waverly Briggs,
former pastor in the M. e. church
south. appeared as bondsman for that
clergyman when he was arranged in
Jefferson Market court on a charge of
petty larceny.
He Is an old boyhood friend" said
the postofice inspector, after he had
told Magistrate House that he would
furnish bail in any required amount.
Then the inspector told between sobs
how he had been converted many years
ago in Galveston, Texas. during a re-
vival conducted by the prisoner, then
known as the Revivalist OF the South.
AS the story was told the old preacher
also broke down and wept
The preacher had been arraigned in
the court charged with the larceny of
three atomizers from Henry Bohmfalk.
a druggist, at $50 Third avenue.
Where is the complainant" asked
the court.
HE is not here. 1 don't think that
he will prosecute" said Detective
Flynn.
Wen get him here" said the court.
This is a" sad case, and We'll have
him come and clear the prisoners
name. I'll make the bail the lowest
possible-$10O. Can you get some one
to go on his bond?"
Chief Inspector Mayer said that ne
would go on his bond for the limit.
In 1878, after being graduated from
the University of Alabama, Rev. Mr..
Briggs, was sent to a small church in
Galveston, Tex. Later he conducted
revival services all through the south
and became pastor Of a large church
in New Orleans. In 1885 he was made

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages; if not near the store buy the

CUTICURA CURED HIM.
Eczema Came on Legs and Ankles
Could Not Wear Shoes Because
OF Bad Scaling and Itching.

IT have been successfully cured of
dry eczema. I was inspecting the re-
moval of noxious weeds from the edge
of a river and was constantly in the
dust from the weeds. At night
cleansed my limbs but felt a prickly
sensation. I paid no attention to it
for two years but I noticed a scum
on my legs like fish scales. I did not
attend to it until it came to be too
itchy and sore and began getting two
running sores. My ankles were all
sore and scabby and could not wear
shoes. I had to use carpet and felt
slippers for weeks. I got a cake of
the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura
Ointment In less than ten days I
could put on my boots and in less than
three weeks l was free from the con-
founded itching. Capt. George P. Bliss,

Keep out of doors all you can.
Breathe outdoor air, live in it, revel
in it. Don't shut yourself up. Build
your houses so that the air supply
is good. Throw away your portieres
and bric-a-brac. Don't have useless
trifies about you.
Have a favorite form of exercise
and make the most of it. Ride on
horseback if you can; cycle if you can
not get horse: do anything to get
out in the open air.
Don't overeat. Drink little and let
that little be pure. Don't try to
dress too much, yet dress as we'll as
you are able. Wear everything you
can to make yourself lovely.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much, more thinly because of it's great
