ENLIST AID OF CHURCHES
Powerful Weapon Brought to Bear in
the Fight Against Tuber-

Just how serious a problem tubercu-
losis is to the average church, and in
just what ways pastors are called up
on to minister to those suffering from
this disease, is the subject of an in
vestigation which the national asso-
citation for the study and prevention
Of tuberculosis is conducting in con-

sis day on April 80. Statistics are
being gathered from thousands of
ministers regarding this subject, and
among other figures the number of
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
the church congregation will be given.
1t is planned to place these statistics
together with other educational ma
terial. in the hands of every minister
in the country for his use in connec-

of circulars and pamphlets on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis will also be
issued, both from the national office

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land of cot
ton of the results of four years use
OF the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since 1 can remember we had
used coffee three times day. 1t had
a more or less injurious effect upon
us all. and / myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it.
Il know it was that, because when
1 would leave it off for a few days 1
would feel better. But it was hard to
give it up, even though realized how
harmful it was to me.
AT last l found a perfectly easy
way to make the change Four years
ago / abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and l also in
firenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink it freely as they do
water And it has done us all great
good.
II no longer suffer from indigestion.

You interest me sometimes" she
went on slowly, at last, yet you seem
to have SO little brain. Now. in your
employment, should think that brain
would be somewhat useful at times"
Il do not deny that suggestion,
madam
But you are unable to analyze.
Thus, in the matter of yourself. 1
suppose If you were told of it, you
would only say that you forgot to
look in the toe of the slipper you
had.
Did you credit the attache of Mex
leo with being nothing more than
drunken rowdy. to follow me across
town with little shoe in his car
riage?"
But you said he was in wine
son? Continually you show your lack
of brain in accepting as conclusive
results which could not possibly have
occurred. Granted he was in wine,
granted he followed me. granted he
had my shoe in his possession what
then? Does it follow that at the ball
at the White House he could have
removed that shoe? Does monsieur
think that l, too, was in wine?"

Now listen. In your most youth

you do not know much of the capabil-
tiles for concealment offered by a
lady's APPAREL Now, suppose 1 had
a message-where do you think
could hide it; granted, of course, the
conditions obtaining at a ball in the
White House?"
Then you did have message? 1t
came to you there, at that time?"
She nodded. Certainly, Mr.. Van
Zandt had almost no other opportun-
ity to meet me or get word to me-"
Van Zandtl Madam, are you in
deed in the camp of all these different
interests? So, what Pakenham said
of Texas Van Zandt is pleading with
Mr.. Calhoun that he shall take up the
secretaryship. Van Zandt promises
US the friendship of Texas if we will
stand out for the annexation of Texas.
Van Zandt promises us every effort
in his power against England. Van
Zandt promises us the sternest of
fronts against treacherous Mexico.
Van Zandt is known to be interested
in this fair Dona LucreZia, just as
Polk is. Now, then, comes Van Zandt
with his secret message slipped into
the hand of madam at the ambassa-
doris ball-madam, the friend of Eng
land, The attache of Mexico is curl
ous-furious-to know what Texas is
saying to England And that message

ceals it in"

be opened and analysed. yes. 1 think

Was Taking No Chances.

An amusing incident occurred few
days ago outside Maranz, Austria.
A cow strayed from the pasturage and
came within reach of the fort. The
officer in command suspected the pres
ence of an automatic Photographic ap-
paratus, and had the beast seized and
closely examined and when he found
nothing to justify his suspicious he
turned the animal lose again, under
the observation of two of his men,
charged with the duty of following the
suspected home to ascertain whether
her owner was an Italian spy.

enter the union, but to stand apart,
either for independence or for alli-
ance with Mexico and England. The
proposition has been made to us to
divide into two governments, one free
and one slave. England has proposed
to us to advance us moneys to pay
all our debts if we will agree to this.
Settled by bold men from our mother
country, the republic, Texas has been
ayerse to this. But now our own
mother repudiates us, not once but
many times. We get no decision.
This then, dear madam, is from Tex
as to England by your hand, and we
know you will carry it safe and secret.
We shall accept this proposal of Eng
land, and avail ourselves of the rich
ness of her generosity.
IF within thirty days action is not
taken in Washington for the annexa-
ton of Texas, Texas will never in the
history of the world be one Of the

United States shall lose Texas, also
they lose Oregon, and all of Oregon

ECZEMA GONE, BoILs CURED

My son was about three weeks old
when l noticed a breaking-out ON his
cheeks, from which a watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in few days became solid
scab. l became alarmed, and called
our family physician, who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
tie fellow was under his treatment
for about three months. BY the end
of that time, he seemed no better. I
became discouraged, and as l had
read the advertisements of Cuticura
Remedies and testimonials of a great
many people who had used them with
wonderful success, 1 dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in a few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders.
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven
months old all trace of the eczema
was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
toils which 1 cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer During the
time of teething and from the time
dropped the doctors treatment used
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
