Consumption readily attacks those who have

The lungs thus weakened are more easily at

For all those with weak lungs" especially
those who have had pneumonia Eckman's Al
terative is the appropriate remedy. Cures o.

A Birds Savinqs Bank.

In California the woodpecker stores acorns away, although he never eats them. He bores several holes, differ ing slightly in size at the fall of the year. invariably in a pine tree. Then he find an acorn. which he adjusts to one of the holes prepared for it's re- ception
 But he does not eat the acorn, for as rule, he is not a vegetarian. His object Is storing away the acorns ex- hibits foresight and knowledge of results more akin to reason than to instinct. The succeeding winter the acorns remain intact. but. becoming saturated, are predisposed to decay, when they are attacked by maggots, which seem to delight in this special food
 It is than that the woodpecker reaps the harvest his wisdom has pro- vided. at time when the ground be- ing covered with snow. he would ex- perience a difficulty otherwise in ob- taining suitable or palatable food

His "penitenti.rv De,u

And now l must show you what call my penitentiary den," said a popu- lar author. This" he continued. as he drew open a door, lis where I oc- casionally spend an hour or so when I am developing symptoms of that by no means uncommon malady among sue cesstul men called 'swelled head"
 The room was a charming little snuggery about seven feet square, the only remarkable feature of which was the wall-covering. If you look close ly,' explained the host, you will see that my wall paper consists, on two sides of the rom, of those too-familiar and unwelcome printed forms on which editors express their regrets at declining ones pet manuscripts"

A REMARKABLE UNDERTAKING.
Laymen of the Churches Inaugurate 8
 Propaganda for Missions.

The Laymen s Missionary Move ment is one of the most remarkable undertakings of modern times. 1t re- suited from a conference of laymen held in New York in November, 1906. They resolved to investigate the whole problem of missions whether they were worth while and as to whether real missionary work was being accom- plished iii the field. Sixty Iaymen left their business concerns and journeyed over the mission field of the world. Their enthusiastic reports led to the formation of the Laymen s Missionary Movement. They presented their plan and purpose to the various missionary boards of the principal religious bodies and received their hearty endorsement. Their plan was to educate and not to raise money, and in 1909 they com menced series of conventions, about seventy-fve in number, in the princi- pal cities of the United States. About half of these conventions have already been held with tremendous enthusiasm and plain evidence of remarkable re- suits. Conventions are vet 10 be held in St. Louis, Louisville, Memphis, Aus tin and New Orleans. The convention III WHICH lUe men CT athauSdS are par ticularly interested is the one to be held in Little Rock on the 11th, 12tb and 18th of February And every con- gregation throughout the state is call ed upon to send delegates. The con vention will open on Friday evening with a banquet, when addresses will be made by strong speakers, and especially by men who have already had expe- rienee in the work and possibilities of similar conventions.
 Saturday, February 12. will be an all-day session, when speakers of na- tional reputation will conduct the va rious meetings. On Sunday there will be dcnominatioaal rallies in the va rious churches. The congregation of the Second Baptist Church have just completed a new building, the main auditorium of Whi will seat about two thousand people. This has been rendered to the executive committee and will be used for the principal meetings of the convention. Reduced rates have been secured from the rail roads, and information concerning rail road rates. hotel and boarding house accommodations will be furnished to those inte-ested on application to the executive secretary, William DuHamel, at the Y. M. C. A. building, Fifth and Scott streets, Little Rock.
