QUESTION
AGAIN DISCUSSED
Lectures viii be Held In Church
Tent Has Been Taken
Down.
TContributed.J

AS 1t was decided to take down the
tent yesterday while it was dry. to
store until next season. the lecture
last night was held in the church,
Seventeenth and Exchange. The sub
ject was "The Turkish Question"
from Daniel, and in order to seat the
many who were eager to hear it.
chairs had to be placed in all the
aisles.
This lecture on the eleventh and
twelfth chapters of Daniel was par
ticulariy interesting, as the eleventh
chapter especially. contains one OF
the most wonderful prophecies of the
Bible; beginning with Medo-Persian
history, it gives an outline OF import
ant events connected with the rise
and fall OF nations clear down through
Greece, Rome. the Dark Ages, the
Reformation. the Reign OF Terror IN
France. Napoleon's Egyptian expedi-
ton and his defeat at Acre, the Cri-
mean war, and on past our own time
to the final expulsion Of the Turks
from Europe, when they will transfer
their capital to Jerusalem. the glori-
GUS holy mountain between the seas.
Not only does prophecy foretell this
step by the Turks, but the Turks
themselves, although they know
nothing of the Bible prophecy, are
expecting to do the very things the
Lord says they will do. 1t was prov
en- conclusively that when this step
is taken by Turkey, human probation
will have closed, and ever ysoul will
! have to meet the Judgment just as
they stand at this time; but it was
shown from the sixteenth chapter oil
Revelation that the final disposition
of the Turks will occur a little later
under the sixth Of the terrible seven
last plaques, which after the close OF
probation will fall upon those who
are not sealed with the seal Of God
! but who have the mark of the beast
and worship his image. A strong ap
peal was made to the audience to
take advantage OF Gods mercy now
and be reconciled to Him while vel
there is time.
1t has been decided to ontinue
the lectures in the church until mex
Sunday night 1.-The present war and
lArmageddon" was announced to be
, the subject for tonight, and it prom
ises to be another very interesting
lecture.

What Thin Folk. Should
Do To Gain Weight
Physlcian's Advice for Thin, unde-
veIoped Men and Women.

Thousands of people suffer from ex-
cessive thinness. weak nerves ana
feeble stomachs who, having tried
advertised fesh-makers. food-fads,
physical culture stunts and rub-on
creams, resign themselves to lifelong
skinniness and think nothing will
make them fat. Yet their case Is not
hopeless. A recently discovered re-
generative force makes fat grow after
years of thinness, and is also un-
equalled for repairing the waste OF
sickness or faulty digestion and for
strengthening the nerves. This re-
markable discovery is called Sargol.
Six strengthening. reproducing eie-
mants Of acknowledged merit have
been combined in this peerless prep
aration, which is endorsed by eminent
physicians and used by prominent
people everywhere. 1t is absolutely
harmless, inexpensive and efficient.
A months systematic use of Sargoi
should produce flesh and strength ov
correcting faults Of digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated rats to
the blood. Increased nourishment IS
obtained from the food eaten, and the
additional fats that thin people need
are provided Wilkinson & Co and
other leading druggists supply sargol
and saw there is large demand for It.
While this new preparation has CIV
en- splendid results as a nerye-tonic
and vitalizer, it should not be used by
nervous people unless they wish TO
gain at least tan pounds OF flesh.

PENDANT in the famous case bearing
his name, yesterday afternoon at 40
O'Clock. was called to the witness
stand by Attorney George Covert and
corroborated the testimony OF other
witnesses for the defense.

witness, this icing demonstrated by
his brilliant answers at the preceding
trial when Attorney John Wall was
unable to secure an inkling of con-
flicting statement Attorney Covert
had not finished examining his client
when court adjourned until this morn
ing.
At times the defendant hesitated In
his answers and the court reporter
read the questions to him. Once or
twice he forgot to complete his an
swer and his attorney either halted
until he had finished or prompted
him.
Ray Pfanschmidt appeared the
least bit nervous when he stepped to
the witness chair, but 1t soon wore Off
and his speech could be heard in the
farthest corner Of the court room.
Confusion reigned in the court room
when his attorney told him to take
the stand and the court was forced
to rap for order.
Spectators craned their necks to Sc
cure glimpse Of the prisoner and
quietness reigned while the young
man was slowly working a stronger
defense in his own behalf.
To Finish Today.
He was cross examined by the
state this morning. The defense ex-
pected to rest by noon. although sew
eral witnesses remained to be ex-
amined Rebuttal testimony will fol-

Clutch lunch stand on these nights.
