Rev. D. L. Mcbride Of Winfield I,
Speaker at Series Being
Conducted This Week.

A larger interest is being shown IN

and Blondeau streets. The sermons
are dealing with practical subjects.
things which are vital in every life.
Last night the theme was, THE Pro-
f1tableness of Godliness." The text
was taken from the works of Paul in
writing to Timothy, words which
grew out Of the Apostol's experience,
Goodness is profitable both in the
life and that which is to come" Rev.
ID. l.. Mcbride of Winfield is the
speaker
The speaker said that Goodness is
profitable in this life to restrain evil
passions, to present to the mind right
principles for action and to present
to the mind the highest thoughts for
contemplation, because it presents to
the life the noblest though and high
est virtues and gives peace that can
not be obtained by any other means.
All this pertained to the development
of character Then it was shown that
many of the men who have become
noted as great merchant princes and
captains of industry have been men
of Godliness, that it is profitable in
the sense that the word profitable is
used by men Of business. that 1t &C.
tually pays financially. The lives OF
such men as Heinz, the "57" varieties
man: Marshall Field. John Wanamak.
er, Proctor and Gamble were used to
show that men of great wealth and
large affairs have found the life OF
thorough-going service to Jesus Christ
profitable.

drop in at the United Presbyterian
church any of these evenings where
they will find very cordial reception

veteran member Of the Royal North

himself killed five Germans who were
holding the first barricade, after
which he attacked the second barri-
cade about sixty yards farther on
which he captured after killing three

captured the enemy's positions by
himself and prevented the rest of the

ILINSEED OIL SALE
Is BEING WATCHED
Authorizations VIII be Prosecuted Ac'
cording to Bulletins From
State Commission.

That adulterated linseed oil is still
being sold in Iowa by mail order
houses is declared in bulletin issu ed
by the state dairy and food commits
sion. The bulletin follows:
With the approach of the spring
painting season the attention OF the
dairy and food commission is again
directed to the sale of adulterated
linseed oil and paints.
AS result of the sale of adulteras-
ed linseed oil in this state. the depar.-
ment has been compelled to prosecute
1873 cases. During the past two years
the adulterated product has become
less common and the adulterato -
have been driven to other states.
Adulterated .inseed oil is still being
offered for sale, however, by NAL
order methods, and owing to the fact
that these shipments are made in in
terstate commerce, the purchasers can
not receive the protection that the
Iowa laws afford.
The dairy and food commissioners
wishes to warn prospective purchasers
to beware of oils offered for sale be-
mail order houses as such oil is FREE
quently adulterated.
One mail order house soliciting or
ders in Iowa does business under four
different names, and when their
product sold under one name is found
to be adulterated, it is offered for sale
under another.
