The subject of the evangelist's ad-
dress Thursday night was "Revi-
vals," his remarks consisting largely
of a arr alive of his experiences in
revival work in other parts of the
country. Mr.. Williams declared that
the effectiveness of revival meetings
depends more upon the work of mem.
bers of the church than upon the
pre- acher-that each member, to the
best of his or her ability, should take
up the work on the firing line.
ITO get q revival, we must believe
three things" said Mr., Williams.
"Firs', the necessity OF immediate re-
pentance: second, attonement for all;
third, the authority of Gods word.
If you have any faith at all, you be-
lieve that now il the day of salvation.
Now. in this meeting, just work out on
the line Of your belief"
The congregation that attended the
first meeting filled the Methods,
church, and the interest aw akened by
Mr.. Williams campaign against evil
promises to attract still larger audi.
ences ut future meetings.

Do farmers eat the proper
sort of food?

The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is so because
be has a great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats Ted man il the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity Of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81

Former Grand Junction Girl
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE IN DENvEF
Nellie Case, Daughter Of Former Local Resi-
dent, Tells Tale Of Shame and Horror
Almost Incredible

the uneven break she has had with
life is not open to question. She is
an uncultured but good-looking girl,
a combination that probably had
something to do with the fact that
she made her home in a downtown
rooming house and shifted pretty
much for herself.
But as long as she had Billy" all
seemed well. When men were dis
appointment and women lifted their
skirts from her BILLY" would put his
little old nose into her hand and cud-
die up as close as he could. He was
missing for a few days and Nellie
Case was in mourning. Yesterday he
came back and It was this news that
brought to the sick girl more real
desire to live than all the hopes held
out to her by physicians.
I'm glad l did not died" she said.
and smiled when she heard of the
return of Billy"
Il guess I'd be glad anyway" she
went on. but it's mighty hard to be
, good when you don't start right"
Then she told a little story of the
S2eSen chance she had with life.
After the divorce oil her parents in
Grand Junction nine years ago she
was brought to Denver by her moth
er. who is now known as Georgia
Sexton. Mrs. Sexton lives at 164l
Arapahoe street in the house where
the daughter attempted suicide. Her
husband was Bert Case, horse
dealer.
1t was on the day that the mother
and daughter reached Denver, ac-
cording tc Miss Case, that she was
sold to the highest bidder. The girl,
knowing nothing of the meaning of
home, was the prey of the unscrupu-
lous. Four years ago John Sullivan
met her and married her. She was
living at the time in a house of ill
repute. Sullivan soon wearied, and
the next man who came seriously into
her life was Fred Parker, a cook.
Parker was kind to the girl, she says,
and between him and the bull terrier,
fBilly." she managed to get along
pretty well.
But | never had anyone to train
me-" she added, after talking about
billy" And I'd really like to be
nurse and take care of folks, but
guess there isn't much for me now.
! never realized how low I'd gone till
l missed Billy and didn't Know
who to turn to for a friend. Why
there wasn't no one. Then / got a
man to go to the drug store and get
me some cocaine. They wouldnt sell
1t to me. But after dinner / took it
and put soEie in a cigarette paper and
swallowed it. / screamed and help
came. I'm glad now / did, FOR /
want to live, after all, and | w.nt to
do right
The girls condition is still ,rious.
The daily sentinel. [volume] (Grand Junction, Colo.) 1893-current, 1910-09-29

With the glare of the crimson
lighted district shining in her eyes
former Grand Junction girl attempts
ed suicide in Denver Tuesday even
ing because she had drunk her fill of
the cup of license and cared no more
for life as she had found it to be.
The story leads back to the days
when Bert Case came to this city and
secured employment with Charles
Seiber as an expert meat cutter.
accumulated considerable of this
worlds goods.
But about nine years ago domestic
destroyed his home and
the Cases were divorced, Mrs, Bert
Case going to Denver where she be-
came known as Mrs. Georgia Sexton
Mr.. Case subsequently married very
estimable young lady of this city and
went TO California where he now re-
sides.
When the first Mrs. Bert Case went
to Denver she took with her the -
year-old daughter and the story of
the years that followed, leading up to
the unfortunate girls attempted sui
eide is full of pathos and insert
Because she sickened of the life
into which she had been sold at the
age of ~ years, Nellie Case tried to
kill herself last Tuesday night
Billy the dog that she regarded
as her only friend, was lost and there
didn't seem anything left to live for.
1t is story much like that of Vera
Fitch, who shot herself in New York
because she was weary of the i'm
morality of the world around her.
Only Vera Fitch justified herself,
in the belief of reincarnation, and
was fastening the day, sheisaid, when
she would be born into purer world
Nellie Case had probably never
heard of reincarnation. and wouldn't
understand what it meant if someone
took the trouble to tell her. For
this Denver girl. who grew aweary of
life at the age of 81, is uneducated
so far as books and schools go. She
knows the world, the sordid under
world. in which she has dwelt for
nine years, and she knows the men
who infest that particular sphere.
1t was this knowledge, she says,
that drove her to attempt suicide.
She wasn't striving after a career, as
was Vera Fitch, nor was she seeking
the path of social distinction She
was simply trying to keep as close to
the fringe of decency as she might,
and felt herself slipping all the time.
It's an ugly story that the girl tells
from her cot in the county hospital.
where the police surgeons took her
after she had swallowed cocaine
enough to have caused death if
speedy medical attention had not
been given her.
And she tells it in such blatantly
bad English that her statement about
