 for calomel, can get his money back just as quick as they can get it out of the money drawer. Dodson's Liver Tone has practically taken the place of calomel. It is absolutely harm less, sure in it's action and causes no restriction of habit or diet. No wonder the drug people are glad to guarantee it, while other remedies that initiate the claims of Dodson's Liver Tone are not guaranteed at all.

Reason In Animals.

Despite the claims of many animal lovers scientists as rule insist that there is no absolute evidence that anil mals reason. They admit, however, that as yet they are far from under standing the transmission of animal instinct. or the habits of ants, bees and even higher animals that indicate capacity to reason. It may be many centuries before this question shall ba definitely determined.

ljgiops with the official Dr. Ibuka addressed the officials in way that he could not have done ten years ago. Then the christians were glad to get the least con alterations at the hands of the government but now their repre- sentative stands up and asserts their rights. All these changes are for the good of the masses. In the north an awful famine S on. Ten million people are starving. Some of them are chopping up old wheat and rice straw and using it for food. Many are selling their girls for a few dollars to, houses of i'll fame. Friends I hope that you'll respond to the cry for bread that comes from the millions of your fellowmen. Down south of us during the last few days the three volcanoes have emptied, followed with hundreds of earth quakes. many villages and towns have been ruined, hundreds of people have been killed and the living are without houses or food. In our province too, there seems to be an unusually large number of poor.
 Our little church at Takamatsu has been without a pastor for sometime but now a real good man has come to them, you perhaps know that our little church is self-supporting, that is it does not get any help from America. A few of the con- tributing members have moved away, making it very difficulty for the little groupe to maintain their independence. All kinds of sacrifices are being made. (Miyai) San, one of the officers of the church whose family are now living on boiled wheat said that he was strong and would eat only two meals a day and give the money saved in that way toward the expenses of the c h urch. Another m a n (Marukawa) San is also reducing his food and giving to the church. You sometimes hear of rice chri tians but what do you think of this little groupe? Can you match it in Monroe county?. 1 travelled all over the state while at home but l never found man who was denying himself in order to give to the Lord.
 Miyai San is an interesting man, just the other day a man who had been in prison sixteen times came to us at once when turned out. We did not know what to do for him and so ask ed Miyai San to place him in a cheap hotel for a few days at our expense. Miyai San instead of sending him to the hotel took him into his own home. Very few Japanese ever do things of that kind but Miyai San is trying to live his religion.
 We are very anxious to build another church in Marugame a town of 35, 1000 people. There is a little groupe of christians at that place but they are not able to build. You perhaps know that the average income per Japanese is only $26. 40 a year, hence you can see why they can- not build. After they get the building they soon grow to self support and call their own pastor.
 Enough for this time now, for 1 feel that 1 have alread taken too much space but hope that the good editor will give me chance.

by the Germans. and French authori-
ties have submitted a sample OF bull
lets found in their dead and cartridge
boxes belonging to German soldiers

except Great Britain and the United
States agreed 10 stop the use Of this
kind Of bullet The dumdum is made
with a hollow nose. which causes the
metal TO expand on impact, thus
creating an ugly wound. They were
FIRST made In the town Of Dunn DUN,
British India. During the war be-
tween the Turks and Italy It was
charged that the Turks we're using
these ugly bullets. The powers were
notified and promised to draw the at.
tentlon Of the Ottoman government

medicine from the Montenegrins. Ac-
cusations we're made in the Boer war
that the British we're using the dunn

ton. retiring from the active market
100000 bales by mutual credit
agreements, building small bonded

value with consequent depression in
all lines Of business.
