AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH

Our Mothers Day service last Sunday was we'll attended, and we think did a great good. The church was full, and every one seemed to enjoy the service. The audience at night was fully as large as that at the morning service; and the attendance at the Sunday-school hour was the largest we have had since the coming of the present pastor.
 We hope this is but the begin hing of greater things.
 The majority of our people forgot the Sunday-school mass meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon and only a few were present. It was decided to have another mass meeting of the Sunday s1hoel workers of the city at the Presbyterian church next Sunday at 3:30. We are anxious to get just as many of the people of the city enlisted in the Sunday-school work in some of the schools as is possible. Please do not forget fthe meeting next Sunday. There will be no preaching at the Baptist church at the eleven lo'cIock hour next Sunday, on account of the Baccalaureate Sermon of the High School, at the Presbyterian church. We will have our Sunday school,
 B. Y. F. U. and preaching at 8 o'clock. Please note the time of the night service has been changed from 7:45 to 8 o'clock. The pastor had a very pleasant time in the Training School for
 Sunday School workers, at
 Monticello last week. Some 25
 or 50 took the work. and stood
 the examinations.
 This week we have been very
 busy trying to get things around
 our home in shape to receive
 our friends. We shall be glad
 to have you all come and visit
 us at our new home, first door
 south of the church. Our phone humber is 190, and if we can be
 of service call for us.

 since the first bottle was put | up and sold.
 There are limitations of Dod- sons Liver Tone for which ex- travagant claims are made, but the public knows how to judge
 between loud boasts and the plain truth. And then the merits of Dodson's Liver Tone are too widely known for any one to hesitate.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is sold and guaranteed by M. B. Con- verse who will refund purchase price (5Oc.) instantly and with a smile if you are in any way dissatisfied with the remedy. Dodson's Liver Tone is a palatable vegetable liquid and Its action is easv and natural, with no gripe, no pain and no
 bad after-effects. After-effects are often disagreeable after taking calomel.

To Set Stencil colors.

After stenciling, if you will press . hot iatiron over the pattern stenciled. you will find that 1t makes the color fast so that 1t cannot be washed out when the fabric is laundered. If you have mixed too much oil with the paints and smeared the fabric. place a blotter over the smear and press with a hot fiatiron. The oil will have been absorbed when the blotter is lifted, SO that 1t Is not noticeable.

Those who complain of the high cost of living would have reason for much more pronounced howl if they lived for a short time in La Paz in Lower California. Butter is never sold for less than 65 cents a pound and during the seven hot months of the year fresh vegetables are not at all obtainable. Ice which is manufac- tured in La Paz sells for two dollars a hundred.
