RELIGION-ALL WORK
DONE BY WOMEN.

Of their instructors and co.workers. In
the cheerful and subdued beauty Of
tho convent, with its snowy walls. its
long, arched windows and soft, white
curtains. with its crucifxes on the
walls. the whirring of the machinery is
an incongruous accompaniment TO the
frequent recital of prayers.
Love Reflected in Their Work.
More striking even than the beauty
and cleanliness of their surroundings
is the spirit of cheer and JOY. the indi-
Gators Of art instead of labor, with
which even the most primary and in
ordinary factories disagreesble tasks
are attacked, the same love of the work
which charaeterizes an illuminator at
her exquisite task.
Probably it is this love of the labor
for Its own sake that makes Inese IT,
lieious toilers produce work which IS
quite distinctive, as the value Of old
rugs and old paintings lies not wholly
in their age, nor in their workman
shin, but in the bit of personality
which somehow adds immeasurably to
the charm Of the effect. And the beauty
and the quiet patience, the sincerity
and the anachronistic unworldliness Of
the atmosphere of this printing estab-
lishment have all combined 20 make
these books different and particularly
desirable.
They are printed by hand on linen
paper of the finest quality and are
beautifully illustrated, and many Of
them illuminated And the covering

ner soul of the book, has been cared

During the past two weeks
a decided change has been
made in the fire alarm system
of the city, the change made
being from the dial system to
the direct telephone call to the
fire department.
Be sure and destroy all old
number cards as they are no
longer of value and may lead
. to a miXup by sending the de-
partment to the wrong place
if used in sending fire alarm.
Do this now
When you wish to send in a
fire alarm call GENITAL and say,
"Give me the Fire Depart
ment." She will connect you
direct with the place. Under
no circumstances leave the
phone before you get a reply
Give the department your
street and house number when
the call is answered. Talk dis
tinotly and don't above all
things get excited. If you get
excited you are very liable
not to speak distinctly and
trouble may result in the de-

If you do as requested a
prompt response will result.

THIS Is CERTAIN.
The Proof That Alma Readers Can
not Deny.

What could furnish stronger evil
dence of the efficiency of any remedy
than the test of time? Thousands of
people testify that Doan's Kidney
Pills have brought lasting results.
Home endorsement should prove
undoubtedly the merit of this rene
dy. Years ago your friends and
neighbors testified to the relief they
had derived from the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. They now confirm
their testimonials. They say time
has completed the test.
Mrs. Joseph F. Sartofs, 201 Lin
coin avenue, Alma, Mich, says: "The
first symptom of kidney trouble that
/ had, was pain in my back. Then l
had headaches and dizzy spells. The
kidney action was irregular and gave
me lot of annoyance. Nothing did
me any good until l got Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Rhodes Drug Store.
They completely relieved the all
ments. The kidneys got normal and
the pains left. That happened two
years ago and l gave a testimonial.
Since then I have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills off and on and they have
kept my kidneys in good shape. They
act as tonic to my system"

CURIOUS BETS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
HOW a COWARD REDEEMED
HIMSELF.

Charles Calender was captain
of an artillery company at the
battle of Bunker Hill. There
was some criticism Of his de-
pertinent during the battle, and
he was cashiered for alleged
cowardice and dsobedience. He
was dismissed from all further
service in the Continental army
as an officer" But he could not
have been very coWardly at
heart, for he determined to wipe
out the stain on his record. He
remained in the army as a pri-
vate, faithfully performed his
duties as common soldier, and
watched for his opportunity. IL
came at the battle OF Long ls-
land. The captain and lieuten-
ant Of his company were
killed. He assumed COM
mand and fought his guns
with great bravery to the last.
He was about TO be bayonetco
by a British soldier when an
English officer, admirlng his
courage, lntervened and saved
his life. He was taken captive
and remained a prisoner In the
hands of the British for more
than a year. After his escape
and return, Washington ordered
his former record expunged and
restored him to his command.
At the close of the war he was
mustered out Of service "Wlth
the highest honor and reputa-
tion."
