we give, the stronger and more con-
vincing Is our testimony.
1t Is readily admitted that, with the
various calls upon our resources and
our own feeling the effects Of the
war we cannot do this without econ
omy, sclf-denial, and even suffering.
Let us look at the teaching OF the
Bib" concerning suffering for Christ,
What Gods Word Says About Suffer
ing for Christ.
/. II is a privilege. Philippians
I:29, "For unto you it is given in
the behalf Of Christ, not only to be-
licyc on Him. but also to suffer for
His sake"
2. It is a cause for glorying. |
Peter i:lG. "NCt if any man suffer
as Christian, let him not be asham-
ed; but let him glorify God on this
BEHALF"
3. 1t is cause Of rejoicing. Acts
Sal, 'And they Cthc discipleS) de-
parted from the presence Of the coun-
ell, rejoicing that they we're counted
worthy to suffer shame for His
name"
Let us remind ourselves that God
has never wanted for people willing
to suffer for Him. The examples are
many and shining. They extend over

Since sample No. l contains the

more phOSphOric acid and costs 50
less per ton, one might wonder why
any one should ask which is the
cheaper; but as Il matter Of fact. the
G.60 per cent Of nitrogen is men
toned in the guarantee on No. . and
nitrogen is not al all mentioned in
| the guarantee on NO. |. The differ
| enrc is due to the fact that sample

sample No. =. from a Mississippi mill
The addition Of nitrogen in the
guarantee OF sample NO. 2 tells moth

should prohibit the use Of both terms
in the same guarantee, because tho
result is confusing, whereas the OBJ

should require that the per cent o

use Of the term ammonia; certainly
both should not be used
Since both samples contain s per

there is no question but No. 1 is the

lriShman Preferred Dying on Battle
Field Rather than Bed.

Associated Press London Corr
"The man who dies at home
doesn't know the pleasure Of death;
and | would much rather die here
than in the most comfortable bed you
cold rig up at home"
This is what a dying Irish soldier.
in rough field hospital at Ypres.
told Lieut.. II. II. Watson, of the
Highland Light Infantry.
The soldier came OF a long line of
h&htinG stock. His father died on
the battlefield of Abu Klea. his ia
theirs father at Isandlwhana, his pa
t"rnal great grandfather at Alma and
his grandfather's father at Waterloo.
An own brother fell in the Boer war
at Glencoe and another now lies
wounded in military hospital.
Il know | am dying said the SOL
dicr, "but | don't mind. It's al
ways our luck, and runs in our fam
lily like wooden legs. There is Joy
in fghting that appeals to me, and |

The mans last words to his officer
were "Good-bye, old chap; you were
my superior day or two ago, but
at deaths door all men are equal"

sight of a glossy span of horses that

sight of q glossy span of horses that fin their perfect beauty of symmetry, high heads and tossing manes looked as though they were just prancing out of some Arabian dream. The ami mals seemed nude of rein or harness. save only a jeweled strap that crossed the breast of each, together with a slender trace at either side connect ing with jaunty little phaeton whose glittering wheels slivered the sunshine into splinters as they spun. Upon the narrow seat of the airy vehicle sat the driver No lines were wound about his hands-no shout or lash to goad the horses to their telling speed. They were simply directed and con trolled by the graceful motions of a long and slender whip which waved slowly to and fro above their heads. The great crowd cheered the master as he came. He arose deliberately. took of his hat. and bowed. The ap- plause was deafening. Still standing. he whiZZed past us and was gone. But something in the manner of the hand some fellow struck me with a strange sense of familiarity. Was it the utter disregard of fear that I saw on his face? Was it the keenness of the eye and the perfect self-possession of the man? Or was twas it the peculiar way in which the right arm had dropped to his side after his salute to us while curving past us, and did fancy. for that reason, that the palm of his hand turned forward as he stood?
 Clear the track. there!" came a far voice across the ring. Don't cross there. in Gods name, Drive back"
 The warning evidently came too late. There was an instant's breath less silence. then a faraway, pent- sounding clash. then utter havoc in the crowd: The ropes about the ring i were broken over. and a tumultuous tide of people poured across the ring, myself borne on the very foremost
 wave

Few Drink Enough Water.

It is surprising how many people drink little or no water. There is no greater purifying agent than plen. ty Of water internally. An abundance of it not only f'ushes the entire sys- tenn. but improves the action of the skin, hence the complexion. Care should be taken that the water drunk is free from germs. If there l. any doubt, boil it. Do not confine yourself exclusively to either cold or hot water, and do not take either at extreme tenn. peratures. Juicy fruits are excellent in addition, as they help to thin the blood and stimulate the liver.
