THE MONEY IS RAISED
Budget For Years Work at Christian
Church Qlickly Cared For.

Sunday marked the high tide in the
wOrk % me CHRISTIAN church. 1t
was a day OF great importance in the
Churchs career, as it saw not only
the closing of the successful revival
meeting, but the major portion of the
years budget cared for. The general
board of the church had estimated
the years budget at approximately
1880. This is to cover all local and
missionary expenditures, and when
sity of making other calls for money
during the year. n
1t is the policy of the church to
attend to its finances in a business
way. Make one call for subscrip-
tons and then protect its members
and friends from repeated appeals
from the pulpit. This plan has been
so satisfactory during the last two
years that 1t was enthusiastically fol.
lowed this year.
Mr.. Paris was asked to present the
matter to the church Sunday and give
the people opportunity to indicate
the amounts they wished to sub.
scribe
Notwithstanding the fact that the
budget was the largest ever under.
taken by the church, the subscrip.
tions came the most freely and en-.
Enthusiastically that they ever have,
and in less than one hours time, In.
Guiding both services, $5,581.9U was
subscribed, This leaves about $500
yet to be made up. And if the mem.
bers who are out OF the city, and
those others who were not in the ser
vices give as literally as those who
were present, the entire amount
should be raised. The finance com.
mittee will have meeting tomorrow
evening and organize to compete the
every member" canvas, so as to
clear the whole matter up at once.
The revival meeting closed in a
joyful way. Mr.. Paris proved him.
self to be great preacher and a
splendid leader. The church greatly
appreciates his earnest efforts. While
the meeting was held primarily for
the benefit of the church, and few
levangelistic sermons were preached.
yet something over fifty people came
forward during the invitations, and
indicated their desire to live for the
Christ and His Kingdom.
This makes something over 30e
people who have responded TO the in
Wtation here and elsewhere under
the ministry of Mr.. Farley during
less than two years.
Mr.. Farley will assist the Capitol
Hill church in Des Moines in a meet
ing in January, in exchange for this,
when his pastorate with this church
will close.

CHARGES GRAFT IN MUNITIONS
Retired English Officer, Formerly
Agent Here, Says Scandal Viii
Stir Britain and U. s.

New York, Nov. 15.-Lieutenant Col
onel Morgan, who retired from the
British army in 1913. issued a state
ment on British war contracts at the
Holland house. Lieutenant Colonel
Morgan says since July rs he has been
in this country seeking to place con
tracts for war munitions. Because OF
the difficulties placed in his way. he
asserts: Il have literally run up
against a stone wall"
His statement says;
An investigation of contracts for
war munitions for the English gov.
eminent was instigated in this coun-
try by John Amman Bryce and Lord
Northcliffe early in March of this
year for the purpose Of disclosing
whether there has been extravaganza
and corruption In connection with
such contracts as placed in the United
States by the British government.
"A war munition scandal that will
stir all England and the United States
will be disclosed. ~.
"A number Of the reports sent from
this country to John AMMAN Bryce and
Lord Northcliffe we're confiscated by
the London police department.

TRAINS AT ROVE SHELLED
Paris Also Says 219 German Bodies
Were Counted In Front Of
Trenches.

Paris, Nov. 16.-The Official state
ment issued here is as follows:
In Artois artillery fighting con.
tinued today without any further in.
fantry engagements. Following the
combats of November IA at the laby.
rinth' we counted PIG German bodies
in front of our trenches. We have
shelled trains in the railways station
at Roye. In the region of scissors.
round Berry au BAG and in the Ar
gonne, the artillery combats assumed
a more sustained character. Our bat.
teries executed concentrated fires, the
efficacy Of which was especially
marked on the German works north
east of Rethincourt between the Ar
gonne and the Mouse and on a group
of German mine throwers north Of
Regnieville, in Woevre."

PROHIBITIVE
Great Cost of Drugs Causes Sickness
to be Luxury.

You simply cannot afford to be i'll
this winter unless you are prepared to
have any medicine the doctor may pre-.
scribe cost you a price which will be
practically phohibitive. The war in
Europe has sent the prices of some
drugs up to such a level that doctors
hesitate about prescribing them to
their patients on account Of the high
cost. Druggists throughout the coun-
try are keeping close watch over their
supplies on hand and refusing to sell
to any one in large quantities, for the
country is alive with spectators who
are trying to get control OF large sup.
plies in order to sell them to the
warning nations abroad.
Glycerine and quinine are two of
the most important AMI we'll known
articles which have advanced enor-
mously in price. Glycerine is being
used in bombs abroad and quinine is
being given by the barrel to soldiers
in the trenches. Carbolic acid, too, one
of the greatest anticipates, is needed
on the battlefields, and the prices are
way up.
The present condition of the market
offers a fine chance for scalpers to
get hold of reserve stocks of drugs
and sell them abroad at big profits.
For this reason wholesalers and man
ufacturers are being careful not to
dispose of any of their articles in any
large amounts. A price list of some OF
the more important drugs which have
rsen prce per pound snce the war

AnsIe-Freneh Forces Report Victory
Over 5uIsars on the
Czerna.

London, Nov. l6.-Sweeping vic
tories for both Austro-German and
Bulgarian forces in nOrth-central Ser
bia. with the capture OF $500 Serbs
and ~ cannon, are announced by Ber-
lin. -,.s.-,r..
Simultaneous victories for the Bull
garians against the French on the
Czerna river, near the Greek border.
are claimed by Sofia, but Athens dis
patches contradict these claims. de-
claring the French, British and Serbs
are gaining foot by foot in the south
and defeated the Bulgars on the
Czerna.
A French junction with the Serbian
attachments operating in the region
OF Prilep. where IS the Bulgars have
been fighting to separate the allies,
is announced by Paris. ..
The Serbian capture of Tetovo from
the Bulgar force operating toward
Monastir was of little value. however
according to a Saloniki dispatch
which says the Bulgars reoccupied
the town. -.
The Bulgars are in superior num-
bers, but considerable part of their
forces are in scattered bands which.
engaged in independent raiding, have
been cut off from the main body and
are putting up separate battles Of
their own.
Thus, besides the principal fighting
line from the Strumnitza region north
west along the Vardar river through
Veles to Tetovo. hot engagements are
raging at several points inside this
front to the southwest
The following official report Of OPP
erations in the Balkans was given
out by the Paris war Office:
"On November 10 a violent action
was fought on the left bank of the
Czerna, where the Bulgars continue
their attacks without success.
Our troops >, have established q
union which is becoming more and
more complete with the Serbian de.
tachments operating in the region OF
Prilep."
A dispatch from Sofia says:
"A French force which crossed the
Czerna river from the direction Of
Saloniki was thrown back in dis
order with exceedingly heavy losses.
West of Nish the combined Bulgar
and Teutonic forces are hard on the
main Serb army's rear. The Serbs
are gradually breaking into guerilla
bands and scattering so much that II
is difficult to make a capture in a
single body, but they are falling
into Bulgar and Teutonic hands at
the rate of / 900 or so a day"
The French war Office gave out a
report on the progress OF hostllities in
the east which reads:
During the day of November -
we made progress to the north of
Rabovo, in the direction Of Kostu-
rino. Bulgarian troops delivered a
violent attack along the entire front
of the left bank Of the River Cerna.
They were driven back with heavy
losses"

DRESS SHIELDS.

The careful woman knows one les son. and that is not to leave dress shields in waists.
 If you take out delicate waist which you have not worn for two months you will find that the rubber ill the shields has effected some sort of chemical action on the silk; the result is that it is just as frail as could be and literally tears in the hand.
 Take a day off and sew short pieces of baby ribbon on to the arl, sizes of all waists and correspond ing pieces or the shields.
 Then you are fortified against any injury to dress waists, for you can unite the shields whenever the waist is taken off.-Bronx News.
