bubonic plague in China In 1894, and
Modern science got grip on the
'black death" when II learned the life
stories Of nea and a rat II was
only a few years ago that the doctors
learned that these vermin caused and
spread the plague. The new proven
tive is to destroy them.
The bacillus was found by Yersin Of
the Pasteur institute during a plague
epidemic In Hongkong In 1904. II was
not until FIVE years ago In an investi-
cation by the Indian plague commits
sion that the secret OF "black death"
epidemics was learned.
There are records Of no less than
thirty epidemics Of bubonic plague
from the eleventh to the fifteenth CEN
fury. The worst occurred in the four
teenth century.
First Plague In 1894.
The epidemic started in China In
1894 In Europe the plague killed
25,00O.0O0 persons, or nearly "a per
cent Of the 105,OOO,OOO inhabitants Of
the continent. Upward OF 100000 per-
ished In Florence alone between
March and July, 134S. Pope Clement
vi. estimated the total loss OF life In
the world by this historic plague to
have been more than 100000 per
sons.
visitations OF God for SIM meteors,
the conjunction of planets and fiery
swords In the skies were all blamed
for the plague. IL was noted that the
rats were ILL., too; but, while the panic
stricken people killed the rodents. they
never suspected them as the real cause
Of the disease.

Warner and New Gov. VIII Clash.

The first message to the legislature
from Gov. -elect Osborn and the last
message from Gov Warner will furn-
ish the lawmakers and the people
with an opportunity to consider two
widely differing views relative to
some phases Of state administration
1t is generally understood that the
incoming governor will advocate the
adjustment Of many state boards
and many radical changes in the
management OF state institutions and
state affairs. He has spoken for civil
service and will undoubtedly reiterate
his belief In the adoption OF that
policy for all state departments.
Those who are in touch with Gov.
Warmers attitude regarding these
matters expect him to set forth some
OF the changes brought about during
his siX-year tenure of office and enter
into a statement of the condition OF
the institutions and departments
over which he has been supervisor.
with a view to showing that they
have been efficiently conducted for the
best interests OF the state He will
refer to men who have been promoted
as showing that ii has been his
policy to reward good service, and
will urge continuation of that policy
rather than the adoption Of civil
service.
Mention will undoubtedly be made
OF some boards which have accom-
! plished good things for the state On
many questions the outgoing and in
coming chief executives are diametri-
cally opposed in view and their mes
sages will be OF unusual interest on
that account.

1t is not strange that the progress
Of the plague should be overlooked
for the moment. The disease started
from China to girdle the world In 1894
before the Russo-Japanese war. So
slow are its invasions that fourteen
years were required once for its ad-
vance from China to Italy.
Lately, though, the reports have
forced themselves more and more into
notice. The plague is coming close to
home.

His disciples. to take up their cross
and follow Him; and having thus ar
ranged for the satisfaction Of these,
God prepares to give a blessing to
Adam and his race in a way which
would do them the most good. And
this showing of the Divine character
is not merely to bring laudatiOn to the
Almighty but specially for the purpose
OF making His creatures acquainted
with His character, that they may have
great confidence in Him throughout
eternity, and that seeing the beauties
Of His character they may copy the

Sa!vation's First Step.
The first step of Gods Plan is the
selection Of special class, a sanity
few, from amongst mankind. They
are chosen for purpose. In them
God would show forth the exceeding
riches Of His Grace and His loving
kindness in Christ Jesus, in lifting
sinners from the miry clay to so glo-
rious a station as He has promised
them-the divine nature, far above an
gels, principalities and powers. Addi-
tiOnally, He proposes to use them and
their experiences with sin, and their
victories over sin, by making them
joint-heir with Christ in the ruling
and blessing and judging Of the world
bye and bye.
Following the completion Of the
Church Of the First-Borns will come
the later borns. 1t is the Divine inten-
ton, not only that the Church shall
attain to the liberty Of the Sons of God
on the spirit plane, like unto the an
gels, but it is His purpose also that
humanity in general shall be granted
an opportunity to become sons of God,
during Messiahs Reign. "For the Gre
alton itself, also, shall be delivered
from the bondage Of corruption death
and SIM into the glorious liberty Of
the sons of God" human sens, such as
Adam was in his perfection, free from
sin and death, possessed of full liber-

fellowship with Him].-Romans viii,

"Just to Forgive U.s."
Those who have become New Crea-
lures in Christ by faith and obedience
those who have taken up their cross
to follow Him and have been begotten
of the Holy Spirit-God has agreed to
forgive all their unwilling treSpaSSeS
upon request. Reasoning upon the
same subject St Paul urges, LET us
come with courage to the throne of
grace that we may obtain mercy and
find grace to help in time of need."-

ALL STOMACH MISERY ENDS.
No Indigestion, Gas. Sourness or
Dyspepsia Five Minutes Later.

The question as to how long you are
going to continue a sufferer from IN
digestion, Dyspepsia out of-order stom-
ach is merely a matter of how soon
you begin taking some Diapepsin.
If your stomach is lacking in digest
i've power, why not help the stomach
to do it's work, not with drastic drugs,
but a reinforcement of digestive
agents, such as are naturally at work
in the stomach.
People with weak stomachs should
take a little Diapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more Indigestion,
no feeling like a lump of lead in the
stomach, no heartburn, Sour risings,
Gas on Stomach or Belching of undi-
gested food, Headaches. Dizziness or
Sick Stomach, and besides, what you
eat will not ferment and poison your
breath with nauseous odors. All these
symptoms resulting from a sour,o out
of-order stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved five minutes after
taking a little Diapepsin.
Go to your druggist and get 80
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now, and
you will always go to the table with
hearty appetite, and what you eat
will taste good, because your stomach
and irtestines will be clean and fresh.
and you will know there are not go
ing to be any more bad nights and mis-
cradle days for you. They freshen you
and make you feel like life is worth
living.
