Says He'll is Only the Grave.

'T'he hell of the Bihle is very differ
ent from the hell of our creeds. Chris
tian people are turning from the doc
trine of eternal torture-formulate
during the dark ages. Study of the
Bible is showing them that God is
really Just and loving God after all. 4"
declares Pastor Sturgeon of Chicago.
Those who remember that the
'hades' or 'sheol' spoken of in the BIZ
bic is not usually over six feet deep
ere not longer troubled with the super
stitious thought once connected with
hell According to the Bible, hell is
no more nor less than obliviop-the
grave.
"What need we fear? Our resur-
rection is sure. All will finally profit
by our Savior's death on their behalf
Those who wilfuIy reject him will
fully deserve eternal loss of life
death-and those who receive the
Lords salvation will be fully liberated
from all signs of death and suffering"

An American woman made the as

Cook. widow of the famous tourist
manager. The display within the era

The same tests are applied again.

SALT A WOOD PRESERVATIVE
Telegraph Pc'es in Utah Have Been
Found Good After Fifty Years
Service.

It was found in replacing a recently
burned railroad trestle along the north
short of Great Salt lake, Utah, that the
piles were sound after 40 years of
service, Engineering News states.
These were of local pine and fir, but
were found to have been impregnated
with salt from the lake.
The result Of this investigation is
what started the forest service on it's
recent examinations of the use of salts
as a preservative OF timber. At an
other point on the lake some 1S-inch
poles 90 years old have been SINH
iarly preserved with salt which has
penetrated to the center.

trestles across the lake, placed in

When the ground and weather are
dry 1t will cure readily and is safe to
rake within few hours after moving,

Discovery of Ancient Tunnel.

In the progress of the excavations
made preparatory to the erection OF
the new buildings for the National
University college, Dublin, a curious
discovery has just been made. At a
depth of 20 feet below the surface a
spacious and well-constructed tunnel
has been brought to light. 1t is some
nine feet in diameter, and is apparent
Iy of considerable MISUNDERSTANDING
from a couple of hundred years back
at any rate. The workmen who dis
covered 1t walked into it, and found
that it extended fully one-third Of a
mile under the city. What its original
use was is not clear.

When alfalfa is very rank and sue
culent and the weather is damp II is
not great task to dry the leaves, but
the stems will be wet.
Always have the hay dry enough be-
fore stacking that when a handful OF
stems is twisted together no water can
be squeezed out.
Nov early in the morning, after the
dew is of. allowing the sun to wilt the
swath. Then rake and put it in mar
row tall cocks before night.
The next morning. after the dew is
of. open the cocks. but do not shatter
the leaves the following afternoon the
hay will usually be in shape to stack.
or course you will sometimes be
governed by weather conditions, but
when the weather is fair this is a very
satisfactory method to follow.

line, which was built before the first
railroad, extended west from Salt
Lake City through the then prosperous
mining camps Of Eureka, Austin and
Virginia City When the railroad was
built the telegraph line was trans
ferred to this right Of way and the old
poles were sawed off at the ground.
A recent examination Of the butts left
in the g1ouI4d in the salt desert near
Fish Springs, Utah, showed that after
the fifty years since the poles were cut
off the butts were perfectly sound. It
has been common practise in the Salt
Lake valley to preserve poles by put

Prevent the Fly.

ries filth about everywhere hanging to it's hairy
feet
Born in filth { single manure pile is capable
of producing one billion flies in summary, fly
lives in filth and carries filth with it wherever it
goes to the end of it's days. Every imaginable
form of reeking, nosome excrement is peddled
about over the house, around the dinner table and
in the baby's cradle. Nothing is exempt. The
baby's milk bottle does not escape. The coffee
cup, the molasses pitcher the butter plate, cloth
ing. curtains, furniture, wherever it alights the
fly is certain to leave fragment of filth.
Flies in the house make the doctors smile.
Flies on the table boom the undertaken Files

They will scatter of garbage all over
the city. They will impose one manure pile on
the entire community. They are the purveyors
of filth and cart it everywhere
If you don't want filth left on your windows
and curtains, in your food and drink, on your
clothing and on your baby's face and hands, get
after the fly Put it out of business.
Don't be content merely to screen the house.
That helps some. 1T is better to the

But in spite of screens, flies get in They dis
cover little openings here and there, and find
their way into the house. A screen will help but
it is not sufficient.
1t is good to swat the fly: it is better to pre-
vent him. Screen manure piles in such way
that not one fly can get at it. They would rath-
er breed in that than in anything else. Don't
let any filth of any kind accumulate anywhere on
your premises. Flies love filth. They breed in it.
They carry it around and they will plant little
colonies of bacteria bacteria also breed in filth
all over your premises
