TASTE, SMELL AND !
. HEARING RESTORED
A Simple, Harmless Remedy
Quickly Relieves Ca
tarrhaI Deafness.

The thousands who suffer the miseries
of catarrh, and claim they have never
found cure, can get instant relief by
simply amounting the nostrils with Ely's
Cream Balm.
Unlike internal medicines which upset
the stomach, or strong snuffs which on
ly aggravate the trouble, this cleans
ing, healing, antiseptic balm instantly
reaches the seat of the trouble, stops
the nasty discharge, clears the nose,
head and throat, and brings back the
sense of taste, smell and hearing. More
than this, it strengthens the weakened,
diseased tissues, thus protecting you
against a return of the trouble.
Nasal catarrh is an Inflammation Of
the membrane lining the air passages,
and cannot be reached with mixtures
taken into the stomach or with
snuffs and powders which only cause
additional irritation. Don't waste
time on them. Get fifty cent bottle
of Ely's Cream Balm from YOUR
druggist, and after using it for q day
you will wish you had tried it sooner.

'"The present form of government
which controls the Portuguese in Afri-
ca is much more liberal than that
which existed under the monarchial
form when the Roman Catholic reli-
gion was the state religion was a
statement Of Bishop Hartzell this
morning. The change in government
has been a great aid TO US in our work.
In east Africa We have established an
industrial farm OF 1000 acres and We
have there a training school for ma
tives. We train them to farm and TO
teach others. Printing establishments
Of our church turn out papers. tracts
and books in five languages. The
black natives are directed in the work
by an American superintendent We
have four printing centers in Africa,
and annually issue a million pages of
literature, religious and secular
do you know that the languages of
Africa are as remarkably expressive
as is our own, or that of European ma
tons? Out of 600 languages and dia-
lects common TO Africa, 40 have been
reduced to writing and literature is
published in them. We use the same
type as is used in English writings.
The language is as distinct and capa-
BILE Of expression. and can produce as
fine shading, as that of any nation. 1t
is more remarkable when one consid-
ers that the languages have been pre-
served only from lip TO lip, and ear
to ear We have printed the bible in
one language and are now preparing
! the new testament in four others.

years OF study, he went to New Or
leans and for a quarter century devot-
ed his time and talent to service in
the southern states. Sixteen years
ago-at what he terms the psycholog-
ical moment-he was sent TO the Afrl-
can continent He has established
churches and schools and has been in
strumental in bringing thousands into
the fold of Christianity, making great
inroads on the strength Of the Moslem
believers.
In the interest Of the work Of the
church, the bishop has travelled an
average OF $4,000 miles during each OF
the last 43 years. His work has taken
him into the continents Of America,
Europe, Asia and Africa. His greatest
travels were centered in the tropics
and jungles of Africa.
His work-a colossal monument to
Christianity and the Methodist Episco-
pal church-has aided in developing
mission endeavor into a scientific
form. 1t was begun by a lone man
who was content for a time TO let his
teachings center about the few gath
cred in a miserable hut. Today il

a spot on the continent which is not
accessible TO the mission workers.
The boy or girl who studied geog

ministers Of the gospel and by the re
