LETTER Of APPRECIATION

A box of toys was sent by the
children of the primary department
of the Presbyterian Sunday School
just before Christmas to the child
rem of the Washington Home So
ciety. That the box was fully ap-
preciated by the officers OF the home
is evidenced by the following letter
sent to the Superintendent, Mrs. w.
J. Hoyt. The letter was handed in
by Mr.. Fraser.
Mr.. w. J. Hoyt, Jan. 10. 1912.
Kennewick, Wn.
Dear Mrs. Hoyt:
| am glad to enclose freight refund
on the goods sent for the Children's
Christmas. Please say to those who
contributed that we thank them all.
You helped to make this the very
happiest, brightest and best Christ
mas our children have ever known.
You are helping US in most beauti-
full ministry to the children.
May God bless each and all and
make your New Year bright and
sparkling as the rainbow, sweet with
the thought of your loving help to
the orphan child.
Gratefully yours,

Tho Horses Pedometers,

The whorls of hair on the coats of
horses and other animals are natural
pedometers, inasmuch as they register
the locomotive activities of the ami
mails on whose bodies they are found.
The best examples and the greatest
number of these hairy whorls and
crests are found on the domestic
horse. A notable instance is the grace
full feathering that extends along the
hollow Of the flank. dividing the trunk
of the animal from the hind quarters.
There are also crests and whorls on
the horses chest and other parts of its
body A study Of the action of the un-
DERIVING muscles explains the origin of
these peculiarities in the lay Of the
hair and furnishes the justification for
calling them pedometers. although the
analogy is. Of course. merely superb

This Offer Should Be a Warning to
Every Man and Woman.
The newspapers and medical jour
nails recently have had much to say
relative to a famous millionaire's offer
of a million dollars for new stomach
This great mult1-millionaire was too
busy to worry about the condition OF
his stomach. He allowed his dyspep-
STA to run from bad to worse until in
the end it became fncurable.
His misfortune serves as a warning
to others.
Every one who suffers with dyspep-
STA for a few years will give every
thing he owns for new stomach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused by an
abnormal state Of the gastric juices.
or by lack Of tone In the walls of the
stomach. The result is that the stom-
ach loses its power to digest food.
We are now able to supply certain
missing elements-to help to restore

ach strong and we'll.
