Valuable Item for Men

It is certain that the southern climate and malarial conditions do much to weaken the capacity and strength of the majority of people, but especially of men. Certain 1t is too, that a powerful bitter tonic for the nerves and blood is needed.

Lack of boise and equilibrium in men is a constant source of embarrassment even when the public least suspects 1t. For the benefit of those who want a restoration 10 full, bound- ing health and all the happiness accompanying it, the following home treatment Is given. It con tains no oplates of hahit-form- ing drugs whatever. Mix 1t at home and no one will be the wiser as to your affiictfon.

the home and is the secret of its preserva- tion. Where there is no Bible there is no home; behind the true home ideal is the influence of the Christian manhood. To religion we are likewise indebted for the safety and perpetuity of the state. The preservation of the state is dependent upon the law, the expression of enlight- ened public sentiment, the harmonious voice of all good people. Religion moulds that type of character which insures the appreciation of the majesty and power of the law. As religion increases in power the jeopardizing forces of society in- crease as its power wanes those forces are sure to gain in power.
 Tn this discussion Of Christs sayings, 1t is not my purpose to prove the truth of His words. His words we accept as truth without question. In showing that Christian manhood is the salt of the earth and the light of the world, 1t has but been my purpose to take an extended ob- servation of His utterances.
 Responsibility of Christian.
 Allegiance of God, Christianity invests us with far-reaching possibilities. We feel the great trust that IS imposed upon us, that of leading the world to Christ. Allegiance to God is laden with wonder full power; Christianity is the conservative influence of the world.
 But the mere possession of these facul- ties is only half the truth of Chrfst's words. The great responsibility we have Is to realize that We all possess some thing that every man needs Let the light shine. It is our first duty to fulfill the word of God, to make manifest His glory The way to discharge this duty Is in be- lieving in and seeking for the power of the Holy Ghost, in life of purity"

SACRED CONCERT
 GIVEN AT ST. PAUL'S
NUMBERS WERE GREATLY EN- LOVED AND MIR. CHALlFOUXS PERFORMANCE CAME IN FOR LARGE SHARE OF PRAISE.

The sacred concert at St Pauls church last night was well attended and every number on the programme was admir- ably rendered. The blessed sacrament was removed from the church just after the benediction service at 7:3o o'clock. as no entertainment even of a semi-religious character can be held in a Catholic place of worship when the host is reserved in the tabernacle
 As no applause is allowed in church the audience had no way Of evinoing its pleasure at the various numbers, but from remarks heard after the concert the pro- grammme was greatly enjoyed. The acoustics of St. Paul's, for music, are perfect and MT. Chalifoux's orchestrelle performance proved a marked success The wood-wind effects, especially oboe and bassoon, sounded so much like the wood-winds in fine symphony orchestra that an experienced musician could scarce ly have detected the difference This was the programme:
 Orohestrelie-Largo from the New World Symphony" (Dyorak). MT. Oliver Chalifoux.

ALFALFA MEAL MILL
Plant Will Be In Operation at EI Centro Within a
 Few Weeks.

The present week has brought about active work on the installation of the plant of the Imperial Valley Alfalfa Meal Milling Company at El Centro. Within six weeks, and pos sibly within a month, the new plant will be prepared to make its first runs, converting valley alfalfa. kafir corn, Milo maize, etc. into scientif- cally portioned stock feed.
 The company owns tract of land l47O feet by $40 feet, located along the Southern Pacific right of way in the southeastern part of the city. Within a short time this will be cov- cred with main buildings. storage sheds, office, feed yards, etc.
 Work is now in progress on the feed yards. These are arranged with driveways running between them, from which wagonloads of feed may be emptied into the feeding troughs with least loss of time in handling. Pens are to be arranged for steers, beef cattle, dairy cattle and hogs.
 The main building will be 40 by 40, three stories in height, to give the proper elevation for the machinery. From this structure will extend a hay shed 24 by 100 feet, through which will run an endless carrier to deliver hay to the mills. This shed is to be so arranged that deliveries of mater ial can be made from wagons to eith- CT side. while the mill is in operation.
 A detached engine room, 20 by 20 feet, will be located adjoining the main building, and nearby will be an office building, 12 by 20 feet.
 It is the purpose of the company to place on the market a series of balanced rations made up of alfalfa meal and other valley products, and to include feed for cattle, horses, hogs, sheep and poultry. These var ious blends will be put forth under the title of Imperial brands.
 The company proposes to take stock for finishing off" keep them in the pens and feed them the balanced ra- tions until they are in prime condi- tion for shipping to the Los Angeles or Fl Paso markets It is believed this will be found of much conven- fence to many of the valley stock raisers.
 J. s. East has just returned from an extensive trip through the Middle West, where he made a close study of the mills of this character in ope- ration there and he brings to the new concern the latest ideas in the
