Resolutions of Rebecca Chapter No.2

1t has pleased our Heavenly Father
in the death of our sister, Elizabeth
Robinson, to enter our Chapter and
remove from our chain, one of its
brightest links. How much we miss
her cannot be estimated by measure.
Her many deeds OF kindness, and CRATE
full words of encouragement at all times
will be long remembered in the hearts
of one and all. But we feel that she
has been called to serve in a nobler
and grander work above. We extend
to her loved ones our fraternal sym.
pa thy and commend to them the kindly
intercession of our Lord.
Sleep calmly on; thy noble life,
With cares and love replete,
Has left on us its impress rife
With memories fond and sweet.

REFLECTIONS.

No lessons IRE so impressive and so
lasting as are those which have been
burned into ones consciousness by the
White.hot furnace OF experience, The
farmers of the South have had sur.
felt of this sort of experience since the
European war opened.
Their available resources havene yer
before been so great, the earth has
given forth its increase in cotton, in
corn, in rice and in sugar cane to an
extent unequalled in recent years.
Providence smiled upon us in benign
skies and the harvest season was glorl.
Gus. Hundreds of millions of dollars
of solid assets are represented by the
crops now gathered, sheltered and
awaiting favorable markets.
The war, by absorbing so large a
proportion OF the worlds available
money supply has broken down the

the capacity to buy OF those who need
what we have to sell, Happily, our

The only practical relief must come

The farmer, the merchants and the

PARIS, Jan 26.-The bankers of this country are demanding of the government some action looking to- wards the collection of the defaulted interest on the Mexican loan. Several suggestions have heen made to the government to have a concert of Flu ropean powers inter vene. What action will be taken is unknown.
 Some curious points of view de veloped at conferences of the bank CTS here as to what might happen if interest on the Mexican debt was de- faulted much longer One view, which was strongly supported by financiers who disapprove of Wash ingtons policy toward Provisional President Huerta, was that as the loan of 1910 is secured by 62 per cent of the Mexican customs and the loan of 1913 by 38 per cent, it would be the duty and the privilege of the European governments, whose sub jects hold the bonds. to seize the custom houses by international land ing parties and to collect the interest themselves
 Those who held this opinion. also affirmed that the nited States gov ernment could not blockade the ports of Mexico without destroying the val ue of the customs receipts mortsas ed to foreign bondholders.

MEXICAN CRISIS

 Customs House.

LONDON, Jan 26.--From authentic sources it has been learned here that the crisis in Mexico will be reached in ten days It is expected that at that time the Huerta forces will be in a position to offcr a bold front to the northern rebels besides which the powers are determined tc wait no longer on the American administra- tion for peaceful settlement, wnlie the property of foreigners is being destroyed, their goods conf1scated, miles of railroads destroyed, mine buildings burned, the stealing of the property of the Catholic church by General Villa. the killing of Spanish citizens and robbing them of their property and the defaulting of the payment on the national debt held mostly in Europe.
 Diplomats here denounce the policy of President Wilson in as far as the American president urges the citizens of his own and other countries to leave Mexico and abandon all of their property the European method of en- forcing both sides to protect foreign property is preferred.

RELIEF FROM DYSPEPSIA

All conditions of depressed vitality
tend to disturb the processes of diges-
ton. There is not a disturbed condi-
ton of life that may not affect diges-
ton.
Few causes of indigestion are so
common as thin, weak blood. 1t af-
fects directly and at once the great
processes of nutrition. Not only is the
action of the gastric and intestinal
glands diminished but the muscular
action of the stomach is weakened.
Nothing will more promptly restore
the digestive efficiency than good red
blood. Without 1t the normal activity
of the stomach is impossible.
Thin, pale people who complain of
indigestion must improve the condi-
ton of their blood to find relief. The
most active blood builder in such cases
is DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
make rich. red blood which quickly
restores the digestive organs to their
proper activity and the first result is
hunger. The dyspeptic who has hated
the sight and smell of food now looks
forward to meal time with p~leasurable
anticipation. Care now in the seIec-
tion and quantity of food will put the
patient well on the road to health. A
diet book. What to Eat and How to
Eat" will be sent free on request by
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schen-
ectady. N. Y. All druggists sell DR..
Williams Pink Observation-Disclosures.
