Ladies'! Men! Here's the quick

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to the
hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair of it's
lustre, its strength and it's very life;
eventually producing a feverishness
and itching of the scalp, which if not
remedied causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and die-then the hair

much less hog sickness if we
would use every precaution which
is practicable to keep the hogs
healthy. Keep the beds dry and
clean them occasionally. Make the
sleeping quarters and feeding
quarters more sanitary by the
frequent use of fresh air slaked

makes the gains more economical,

health of the hogs. Keep them free

THEY FILL The
BIG TABERNACLE
Crowds Flock to Hear Evangelist
Burch-The Talk of The
Town

Sunday night Evangelist A. E.
Burch addressed the largest re-
ligious meeting ever held in Mex
leo. Every seat in the large tab
ernacle was taken. 1t is esti-
mated that fully $500 people
were. assembled. People were
there who had not been in a
church for years.
The preacher talked about
"Old Born Drunk" a character
described in Harry Higbee's S
book, "Twice Born Men" 1t was
a graphic picture of many an old
guzzler put down and out by
booze, but rescued at last by the
saving power of the religion of
Christ.
A choir of 200 voices led in
the singing. The Methodist,
Presbyterian and Christian
churches closed for the service,
Five preachers on the platform
arose and sang, "Mexico for
Christ. -
1t was an inspiring and i'm
pressive hour. The meetings are
held every night. Mr.. Burch
goes to Arizona to hold meet
ing when he is thru here.

sweet babe. Here many little ones
have been dedicated to the Lord
thru the waters of baptism. From
this place of worship have gone out
streams of holy influences that have
helped to make the Christian fami-
lies of the community what they are.
From this congregation probably
100 members have been dismissed by
letter, who having been trained in
Christian life and duty in the home
church have gone to help and bless
other churches far and near, while
more than so have quit the church
militant to join the church triumph
ant.
Bethel has also given two of it's
sons to the gospel ministry, both of
whom have proved themselves able
and successful ministers of the
word: Rev. M. H. Kerr of Washing
ton, Mo-, and Rev. J. r. Kerr of Per-
ry, Mo-, while another, Roswell Hen
derson, is pursuing his Biblical
studies at the Seminary in Louisville
Truly, Bethel has been honored and
blest and tits not strange that fond
memories cluster around it and that
those who still live within it's bounds
love and serve 1t with purse and
prayers and earnestly labor and pray
that it may long stand to justify the
wisdom Of its founders and continue
to bless all who come under it's in
fluence.
There's a church in the valley, by
the wildwood,
No lovelier spot in the dale,
No place is so dear to my childhood
AS the little white church in the
vale.
Let us go to the church in the wild
wood,
To the place where the wild flowers
bloom;
Where the parting hymn will be
chanted,
AS we weep by the side of the tomb
From the church in the valley by
the wildwood,
When my day fades away into night,
l would fain from this spot of my
childhood,
Wing my way to the mansions of
light"

Members of the Penny Phone
league point out that the Chicago
Telephone Co., a part of the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co., the
Bel monopoly, has peddled out over
S1,000,000 for advertising in Chicago
newspapers the last four years. This
explains why the speeches of Lewis
in congress, his testimony before the
federal industrial commission at New
York, and the mass meeting tonight
in Orchestra hall, got the silent treat
ment from the loop newspapers.
Lewis speech tonight will go into
the how and why of the high prices
and rotten service Of the Bell phone
company. He will give figures on
how government ownership has
worked out, it's results for users and
it's effect on labor At the City club
this noon, he said:
Private monopolies are conducted
to get the highest possible profits; the
public service motive-to serve the
most possible at the lowest COSTS
absent. The public does not realize
that private monopoly costs more
than public ownership, but it does.
Public service is not only cheaper to
the user, but does it's work with less
expense.
'"The Bell system averaged nearly !
2 cents a call in 1912, its efficiency |
was $4,000 calls per employee. The |
average in Norway was 1850 calls
per employee on rate Of ~ cent per
