Mothers Tell of
Mothers Friend

Experience is or should be our best
teacher. Women who have obeyed tho
highest and noblest of all sacrifices, the
struggle for the life of others, should
have better idea of helpful influence
than those who theorize from observation.
AT any rate when prospective grand
mother urges her daughter to do as she
did-to use Mothers Friend" there is
reason TO believe 1t the right advice.
Mothers Friend" is an external ap-
plication for expectant mothers, It's ptir-
pose is to furnish pliancy to the muscles,
to take away the strain on the cords and
ligaments, to relieve the tension OF nerves
and tendons SO apt to provoke or ag-
gravate nausea, morning sickness. twitch-
ings OF the limbs and SO on.
Although. in the nature Of things. a
woman would use Mothers Friend" but
but rarely. yet so effective has It been
found that this splendid remedy is on sale
In most drug stores throughout the
United States. 1t has been prepared by
Bradfield Regulator Co, 406 Lamar Bldg,
Atlanta, Ga, and advertised by us for
over forty years This is a fins record
for such special remedy and the CRATE
ful letters received to-day are Just as

Notwithstanding that methods are sup

the way to Philadelphia for the single
and express purpose of hearing Billy
Sunday and witnessing his meetings.
such widespread concern for the
things of religion is highly illuminat-
ing.
The religious press of the land is
featuring the Billy Sunday meetings
so that they have become the one up-
permost theme of interest in strictly
religious circles.
Not only have the METROPOLITAN
dailies of the land printed special ar
ticles upon BILLY" Sunday and his
meetings, but the great magazines
have taken him up, although their ar
ticles cannot be printed for a couple of
months yet.
All this has given old Philadelphia
which William Penn founded as "a
holy experiment" a sort and amount
of advertising which city boosters

GospeIIinc by the Press
Most of the dolly newspapers of
Philadelphia have published the Sun
day sermons in full, daily, since the
beginning of the campaign. In addi-
| tion, their extended reports of the
| meetings have been sympathetic and
skillful. This is unprecedented pub
| licity for religion. Strikingly, Sunday
| does not employ a press agent, and
all the newspaper space that is de-
voted to his work is entirely outside
of his own planning.
Instances are already cropping up
OF persons converted simply by read
ing the newspaper reports of the ser
, mons. An entire family of non
church goers presented itself to a

whose liquor chest in his office has
been unvisited for days, all because of
the reports of the Sunday sermons.
Now he has gone to the meetings, and
! his friends say he will surely "hit the
trail"
Literally millions of persons every
day are reading the primitive gospel
message, decked out in modern lin
guistic clothes, as BILLY" Sunday pre-
sents it. The united churches of
Philadelphia have not money enough
to buy this publicity. The great pub
lication societies OF the denominations
or the American Tract Society of the
American Sunday School Union, de-
spite their huge funds and organlza-
tion, do not reach so many persons
and so compellingly, as does the
Billy" Sunday story through the secu-
lar press.
Breaking the Crust
The thickly encrusted shell OF the
average persons apparent indifference
to religion has been cracked by this
unconventional instrument, whose sue
cess is setting many persons to quot
ing the Scripture passage: God
chose the foolish things of the world,
that he might put to shame them that
are wise; and God chose the weak
things of the world. that he might
put to shame the things that are
strong" Without respect to station
or training, people have become in
terested in Billy Sunday. The pro-
portion of those who show antago-
nism is surprisingly small.
That religion is for all levels of So
ciety, and that the Lord does not in
quire about ones ancestors or bank
account before having personal deal
ings with him. has been made plain
through the occasion of the Sunday
meetings. Billy has conducted morn

have also brought to the fore those

a campaign in their country. These
added to the hundreds which have
been received from American COM

RED CROSS SOLICITOR o. K.
Investigation AS to Charge That One
Anna Gray Was illegally Asking
for Money Brings Reply.

Many of the county seat papers in
this section of the country have print
ed reports that one Anna Gray was So
Letting funds for the German and
Austrian Red Cross societies in the
middle west and that she was not
turning over the money to the proper
representatives. Mr.. A. C. Bale, OF
this city, read such report and de-
cided to investigate the charges and
wrote to the German consulate at Chi
cago and received a reply which
states that the report is unfounded.
For the benefit OF our readers we are

Sylvester A. Long, from Dayton, @,

Sylvester A. Long, from Dayton, O.,
delivered lecture at the old Ger
mania opera house last night, being
the third number in the lecture course
this season. His subject was THE
Challenge of the Hour" which natur-
ally suggests that he dealt with ques-
lions affecting the public welfare in
his lecture. An average audience
faced the speaker. While the speak
er is not to be classed as a profound
thinker. he is what might be called a
smart, up to date lecturer, and has a
fund of stories which are calculated
to amuse his hearers. Prof. Knowlton
introduced the speaker and took oc-
casion to say that arrangements had
been made for the coming season. The
Denison high school is to have the
management OF the course. We fear
that it is the policy to conduct the
course on the basis of keeping the
expense at a minimum rather than to
secure grade of talent that of ne
cessity will command a good price.
We would like to see the best talent
in the country brought here, even
though it means fewer numbers.

Council Bluffs High Defeated Local
Team SIS to II at Council Bluffs
Last Friday Evening.

The Denison high school basket ball
team played the Council Bluffs team
at the latter place last Friday evening,
the game being played in the Y. M. c..
A. building and resulted in a victory
for the Bluffs, the score being 55 to IL.
Both teams are considered to be
very fast and it was thought that the
score would be more even, but Coun-
Gil Bluffs showed themselves to be
much superior to our boys and were
not content until they had piled up
score that was almost impossible to
overcome.
The game was very close in the first
half, the score being 20 to IA in favor
OF Council Bluffs, but in the second
half they made complete walkaway.

A decision has finally been rendered
in the case of DR.. Rowe, OF Dow City,
brought against DR.. Toon, of Denison.
DIR. Toon was formerly in the practice
of medicine at Dow City and two or
three years ago/sold out his practice
to DR.. Rowe, alyoung physician who
had located there. 1t was agreed that
after certain time, in case DR.. Rowe
paid the consideration, that Dr.. Toon
would stop the practice of medicine
in Crawford county for ten years. DR..
Rowe paid the full price OF $1,000 and
after the amount was paid insisted
upon DR.. Toon giving, up the practice,
but lie kept the $1,000 and also kept
in practice. The case was tried some
time ago and the court now perma-
nently enjoins DR.. Toon from prac-
ticing medicine and surgery in Craw-

John Hoist, Jr.'s annual sale OF

head and many people were OF tthe
opinion that they were the grandest
lot of sows and gifts of that particus
lar breed that have ever been sold in
this locality.
The bad roads kept many breeders
from attending the sale and it no
doubt was due to this fact that his
Offering did not average as high as 1t
has in previous years. The Al head

A list of words that had been used
to test the pupils in the grades of

perintendents of the town schools and
10 the teachers in the rural schools.
The tests were given about February
18th or 18th and the results sent in
to the office to be averaged.
A study OF the averages shows that
the graded and rural schools of this
county are above the average for the
twenty two cities. The work in spell
ing in the rural schools compares fav-
orably with the work in the same
grades in town. The average for the
twenty-five cities for the seven grades
is 20 per cent. Other tests will be
given in spelling, writing and arith-

check up the work of the teachers and
of the schools and find out how our
work compares with city schools.-F.
