 "Yes," cried the American.

IMPROVING MORALS IN CHINA
Influence of Christian Teachings
Shown In the Changed Condi-
tions Found There.

1.-THE public conscience is now be-
ing awakened upon this aspect OF pub
lie morality. Last week l was in
vited to take part in a meeting or
ganized by men who are not directly
connected with any Christian church,,
but who are sincerely DESTROYS of as
sisting in the reformation of their
oountrymen. Their purpose was to
start an antigambling league, and
with this il. mind they called public
meeting, which was attended by some
hundreds of Chinese scholars and
business men, and resolutions were
passed in approved public meeting
style, approving of a campaign against
the gambling vice. Members OF the
Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-
citation were asked to assist In the
meeting, and to demonstrate by the
means of games the possibility OF
recreation without vice. Suitable ad-
dresses were given by prominent Chi
nese, and the chief organizer OF the
movement is one of the government
CuuCdllOlI luSpCClOlo lOl IhO PiO''haSNS
of Kiangsu and Kiangsi. A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave violin
solo, a Chinese secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association rendered
two cornet solos, and Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering. The
whole meeting was conducted in so
orc erly and orthodox fashion that 1t
vas scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous a reformation in the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed. Twenty
years, even ten years, ago such
meeting would not have been within
the realm of possibility. Today we
have a class of public moralists arising
who have undoubtedly learned from
Christianity in their midst the ideals
which they are DESTROYS of impressing
upon their countrymen."

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May Be Obtained in One Night.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and wilderness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces OF
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or a light BAN
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, f1s-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.
Cuticura Remedies are sold through
out, the world. Potter Drug & Chem.
