The Wisconsin frog crop is so vail
liable that the last legislature enacted
law protecting the ambpibians DUR
ing the breeding months. March and
April. 1t is estimated that the value

necessary to prevent the extinction OF

of the now much talked of Rheuma tism
remedy, Stewards Sulphurro. and the
large number of rheumatism sufferers
who had obtained marvellous results
through taking it,
My friend advised me to try it. had
taken about everything in the way OF
rheumatism specifics and while l had
but little faith in this new remedy, con-
cluded to add one more to the list and

To my establishment and delight
within a few days l was able to throw
away my crutches and walk around
without them and soon returned to my
home apparently cured
So far there has been no reoccurrence
of the disease, for which am thankful,
indeed, and feel it to be my duty to re-

the hope that others who may be SINH

Drinking Water With Meals

Scientific Investigations have ex-
ploded the old idea that drinking wa
ter with meals is harmful. 1t was
formerly thought that water dilutes
the digestive juices so as to make
them ineffective. Conclusive expert
ments, carried on for several months
with many persons, show that those
who drink much water with meals d.
gest their food more quickly and
more completely and keep in better
physical condition than those who
dring little or none. The explanation
is that water has no effect upon the
ferments in the juices. but partially
liquefies the food so the juices act
upon it readily.

electric motor operated blower, fitted
into a neat aluminium case and con-
nected to lamp socket. This blower
delivers a stream of air through the
nozzle OF the apparatus, this air being
heated by an electric coil so that the
blast will quickly dry out shoes which
have been washed off preparatory to
a real shine. The apparatus is in use
by a number of shine parlors.

nual banquet of the society held in the
Bellevue-Stratford
Mr. Beck suggested that at the end of
the present struggle the President of the
United States invite the representatives
of the war-irg Powers to meet In this
country He expressed the opinion that
the President should take his place at
the head of this conference.
To insure world peace for all time, he
suggested that the President propose to
the nations of the world a league to de-
ride all international questions. Any
nation breaking the peace of the league
would be treated as an enemy of all the
other nations.
For the first time in the history of the
famous old society the Cross of St.

Semi-Weekly Meetings in
Homes in Interest of Evan

Tonight.

In almost 5000 homes in ali parts OF
tonight and pray for the success OF the
evangelistic campaign of the Rev. DR..
William A. Sunday, which is to begin on
January and continue ten weeks
Doctor Sunday, during all the years
he has been leading thousands of men
his greatest emphasis on prayer. one of
the inspiring sights in the big revival
tabernacles is that OF Sunday. after an
impassioned plea for men and women to
come out on the side OF Christ, lifting his
eyes to God and talking with Him and
to see the light, Just rs he might talk
with man sitting on the platform.
Because OF this firm convection OF the
power Of prayer, the evangelist has al
ways urged church people OF the cities
In which he is about to enter to conduct
special home prayer meetings for several
weeks in advance OF his arrival. Tho
meetings are to be held in every city
block II possible. and the participants
are to invite all the people residing in
each block to attend the prayer service
in that block.
SEMIwEEKLY MEETINGS.
The prayer meetings will be held each
Tuesday and Friday night until Doctor
Sunday arrives. ana then they will be
held in the mornings of the same days
at 10 o'clock.
Every one of the 500 churches in the
campaign will be responsible for several
meetings twice each week in homes OF
their members
Heidelberg Reformed Church, 10Th and
oxford streets. will have at least 10 home
meetings tonight. The pastor of Heidel-
berg, the Rev. DR.. r. c. hartman. is an
enthusiastic supporter OF the campaign
lie told the Reformed clergymen of Phil
adelphia, at a conference in Messiah
Church, many Of those who are opposed
to Doctor Sundays coming are identified
with the liquor interests. nre white slav-
els or white slaves. are irreliEious and
unEodly or are scrbes and pharisees in
the churches. He gave many reasons
why tho evangelist Is needed here, and
the clergynen united in approval of his
address.
SUNDAYS PLAN FOR CONCERTS.
One OF the main points that Doctor
hartman brought out in his talk was
the fact that Doctor Sunday does not
ask or even suggest that any OF his con-
verts join a church of any dcnomna-
tion. He permits each man or woman
who Processes belief in God and ex-
presses n desire to lead n new life, to
write the church of their choice on a
card, and then the campaign officials
communicate with the pastor or rector
OF the church named and the convert is
accepted into the membership of that
church organization according to It's rules
and customs Many, he said, are added
to the rolls of Catholic churches.

Claim of $250,OO0 to
$160,577, Declaring Cost
Here to Be Exhorbitant.

The Philadelphia County Commissioners
have received from Auditor General Pow
ell an offer for approval of expenses in
1912 and 1919. The proffcr Is unsatisfac-
tory to the commissioners, who claim that
at least s25O,OOO is due them from the Com
monwealth for the primary expenditures
In discussing election expenses in Phil
Rdelphia, the Auditor General said "I
will not pay higher price per 1000 for
printed ballots than It would require to
have such ballots engraved. would re-
sign my office before would permit my
name to go on such a voucher unless a
court had so decreed.
ut cost nearly as much so hold the
primaries in Philadelphia as 1t did to hold
them in the rest of the State, except
Allegheny County, and the cost in AL
legheny is considerably less than in Phil
adelphia."
EXPENSIVE CLERK HIRE.
According to records in the office of
the Auditor General, Philadelphia's pri-
mary election expenses are unusually
high. Clerk hire is five times as great
per 1000 votes cast in Philadelphia as in
some other sections of the State, al
though it is declared the cost should be
less than in the rural districts on ac-
count OF the large number of votes cast
in comparatively smaller area to the cleo
ton unit. Printing of ballots is three
to FIVE times as high in Philadelphia as
in many other sections.
City Controller Walton, in his 1918 re-
port on Phiadelphia's financial status,
set forth the Commonwealth owed the
city. on the account of primary election
expenses. $2s6, ,s4s.14 on December 81. 1918.
That amount was composed of the
primary expenses still due from the State
