What Happened to Bale of Texas
Cotton.

VIM. S. Gates, one of Limestone
county's leading cotton planters, ami
prominent member Of the Farmers
Union, who has for several years
been studying marketing methods
employed by Texas farmers, has un-
earthed some mammoth inequalities
in our system Of selling cotton, our
ieadlng farm commodity.
Last July, when Mr.. Gates mark ct
ed MS 'ist bale Of 1913 cotton. it
brough' IL cents, and he enclosed a
note inside the bagging requesting
that Il e spinner write him fully re-
gardint the final disposition Of the
staple. Yesterday Mr. Gates received
letter from August Tetruce, owner
OF the largest cotton mill in Schwel-
zerth, SaXony, stating that the cot
ton was purchased by that concern
at l9R cents per pound; that it
would be manufactured into yarn,
woven into hose and sold to Texas
ana other American trade at price
to the ultimate consumer many times
IN excess of the original price of II
cents. The letter also requests infor-
nation regarding the number of cot
ton mills in Texas and asks for data
pertaining to a location for a mill in
this State

Progress in civilization calls for

1t Is the responsibility of Christian
civilized nations to meet the needs of
civilized Japan. With false rumors
about our mission cause in Japan
constantly repeated from pulpit, plat
form and press in America; with the
critical attitude of the American peo-
pie and, to some extent, OF the
churches OF America toward japan;
and with decreasing interest in Japan
as a mission field the situation Of mis-
sionaries here is embarrassing and
the outlook seems gloomy indeed"

Dick and Powerful.

1t is said that the very first con-
vert to Christianity in Japan began
with a young student who was en-
gagged in translating the gospel of
John. 1t came about thus: An Amer
lean lady went there with four or five
missionaries. After some time this
lady offered to teach English to
young Japanese and gave him the
gospel OF John to translate. Shortly
after it was observed that he became
very agitated and restless, walking
up and down the room continually.
At last he could contain himself no
longer, and burst out with the ques-
tiOn, "Who is this man about whom
| am reading-the Jesus? You call
him a man, but he must be God"
Thus the written word proved itself
"quick and powerful, (Heb. :12)
and was the means Of saving a soul.

Paris Warned to Read Bible.

Paris, March 6.-Traffic was
brought TO a standstill in one Of the
boulevards to-day when a tall Ger

appeared in the roadway shouting in
a loud voice:

in red letters: "A great wind will
fall upon Paris and every one will be
swept up to the clouds-above all,

Catarrh Of the throat Is not only an
annoying disease of itself, but it ex-
poses the victim to many other dis
eases. We are constantly breathing
into our throats numerous atmos-
pheric germs. Disease germs of all
sorts. This cannot be avoided. If
the throat Is healthy the system Is
protected from these poisonous
germs. But If the throat is raw and
punctured with numerous little ul-
GERS, by catarrh, then the disease
germs have easy access to the system.
Keep the throat well and clean.
This is the way to protect yourself
against contagious diseases. Gargle

ills of Life" sent free by the Peruna
Co, Columbus, Ohio.
Mr.. Barnes says: II had throat
trouble and had three doctors treat
ing me. All failed to do me any
good, and pronounced my health gone,
i concluded to try Peruna, and after
using four bottles can say was en-

Teach You" Child
How to Be Healthy
REGULAR BOWEL MOVEMENT
FROM INFANCY INSURES GOOD
HEALTH IN LATER YEARS.

We cannot all start life with the
advantages of money, but every child
porn is entitled to the heritage of
good health. Through unfortunate
ignorance or carelesSness in the feed
ing OF baby it's tiny stomach may
become deranged The disorder
spreads to the bowels and before the
mother realizes it the two chief or
gans on which the infants comfort
and health depend are causing it
great suffering. If the condition is
allowed to continue grave ailments
often result.
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but 1t should be done instantly-is to
give the baby small dose of a mild
laNatlVe-tonic. In the opinion Of n
great many people, among them such
well-known persons as the parents of
Bertha Lee Woodward, three years
Old, OF Moultrie, Ga, the proper
remedy is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin. Mrs. |. n. Woodward says that
little Bertha was troubled with con-
Stpation for over year. and that af-
ter trying several different kinds Of
remedies she found her relief in Syr-
up Pepsin. 1t is mild, pleasant
tasting laxative, which every person
likes, does not gripe nor cramp, a~d
contains that most excellent of all d.
gestants, pepsin.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is es-

A Century of Missions.

A hundred years ago there were
less than 100 missionaries in the
field; to-day there are about % 900.
A century ago the Bible was trans
lated into only 65 languages; within
the century it has been translated
into over 500 languages and made ac-
cessible to more than 00,000,00O of
the human race, with it's mighty
moral and educational uplift.
A hundred years ago there were no
medical missionaries and more than
two-thirds of the world was without
adequate medical knowledge. To-day
there are several hundred medical
missionaries treating annually over
3 100000 patients
A century ago there was a little
handful Of mission fields; to-day
there are more than $4,000 mission
schools and colleges, educating mil
lion and half students and pupils in
the great strategic centers Of the
Orient.
A hundred years ago a few thou
sand dollars were given annually to
foreign missions; to-day missionary
contributions amout to about $25,-
100000 annually, while about $5,-
100000 is given by foreign converts
It tcc!s nearly a century to win the

Great sacrifices of meat and bread
were made to the idol. Paper and
incense was constantly being burned
and a flood of smoke aSCended to The
skies. The ashes were some four
feet high, the paper already burnt
represents great sums Of money. The
Chinese who in this way worship give
much more in money to their relig-
