In 1885 the Kansas rate had further dropped to 3.9. but Nebraska, with saloons to pay part of her revenue. had been com pelled to raise her rate to -.
 In 1914 Kansas had reached the re- markedly low figure of 1.2 mills, while Nebraska, whose people failed to fol- low Kansas example in outlawing saloons, was suffering under rate of IS mills.
 And yet" says the Portland (Me) Evening Express, the booze represen' tatives in local option contests have the effrontery to warn the people against outlawing the saloons because You will have to pay more taxes!

LIFE WAS A TRAGEDY,
SAID IOWA WOMAN

Mrs. William Ltzenberg of Monte
yuma, Iowa, suffered from stomach
troubles for long period. She grew
weak as a result Of the failure of her
digestive processes She was always
tired.
Then came Mayr's Wonderful Rem
edy and showed her the way back to
health again.
The first bottle, the very first dose,
put Mrs. Litzenberg on her feet. She
wrote:
II have taken four bottles Of your
Wonderful Remedy. I can't be thank
full enough for it. I must say that it
is the best medicine that I ever tried.
II was so weak that I did not think
life was worth living-had no appetite
everything I ate worked against me,
but now 1 can eat anything at all that
looks good. I feel SO strong-haye
been able to do good days work
ever since I took the first bottle"
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per-
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle of your druggist now and try 1t

dozen Yale men were hustled to the
side lines after being fattened out as
they hurled themselves against the
Crimson formations. AS the sun died
down and a chill wind swept the field,
the end was awaited only as a. matter
of how big the score would be. The

Rev. E. Leroy Steffey to Speak to
the Men of the City This After
noon at Methodist Protes-
tant Church.
FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE
Pastor Addresses Congregation on
the Subject Of "Giving Earnest
Heed'' at Sunday
Services.

Giving Earnest Heed was the sub.
Ject discussed in the sermon Friday
evening in the revival services Of the
First Methodist Protestant church.
The duty of giving heed to the gospel
was argued by Rev. E. Leroy Steffey,
because of the proneness of men to
neglect the great salvation. He said:
Our besetting danger Is that we al
low ourselves to glide along with the
multitude down the swift current Of
worldiness and Indifference. This is
due to the fact that we are prone to
presumption. The want Of heedfulness
on the part Of processing believers Is
great evil Of our time Well might
God say of us as He said of the Israel
ties, My people doth not consider
"The motive to heedfulness Is to be
found in the following, viz. the great
ness of the gospel message; the dig
nifty of the first preacher, Jesus
Christ; the attestation which the COS
pei received; and the inevitable doom
of those who neglect 1t. The gospel
proclaims the love Of God, offers par
don for the sinner, breathes a new
life into the soul, rescues from the
despotism of sin, and promises a glor-
ious Immortality to him who accepts
it. The salvation spoken of in the
text is great because it cost the obed-
fence, suffering. and death of Jesus;
and costs still the pleadings and striv-
ings Of the spirit. It Is great on &C
count of what 1t does for man. Ger
tain and dreadful is the ruin of all
who reject the message of mercy
spoken by the lips Of the Lord Himself.
He that despised Moses law died
without mercy under two or three wit
nesses; of how much sorer punish
ment, suppose We, shall he be thought
worthy, who hath trodden under foot
the Son Of God, and hath counted the
blood Of the covenant, wherewith he
was sanctif1ed, an unholy thing, and
hath done despite unto the spirit Of
grace?' Escape from such is plainly
impossible. II we are not aroused by
the motives set forth to accept the
great salvation God can do no more
for u.s."
