murmur she fell back in her seat.
Quest leaned hurriedly forward.
There was slight commotion. The
doctor came hurrying up from the otn-
er side of the saloon. He bent over
her and his face grew grave.
What is it?" the captain demanded.
The doctor glanced at him mean

"She had better be carried out" he
whispered.
WAS it faint?" Lenora asked.

DR.. L. ". King said the spirit which
animated the Egyptians in their varied
and changing practices toward the
dead was based on affection and rev
erence, but the Babylonian, in the
main, was prompted by fear. The
Babylonians were probably more
spook-ridden than any other nation
Of antiquity, and their magical texts
made it clear that the most terrible
class of spirits were the ghosts of
the dead who for some reason had
been unable to enter the underworld.

They talked little while longer and
finally stole away to their tents to

talked still, chattering away. walking

them who seemed to have taken the
lead, broke into an impassioned stream
of words. Soon they stole away-a

WOman'S Health
Requires Care

Women are SO constituted as to
be peculiarly susceptible to consti-
patton. and their general health de-
ponds in large measure on careful
regulation and correction Of this
tendency. Their delicate organisms
rebel at the violence of cathartic
and purgative remedies, which,
while they may afford temporary
relief. shock the system and seri-
ously disturb the functional organs.
A mild laxative is far preferable,
and if properly compounded, much
more effective.
The combination of simple laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin sold in drug
stores under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is ideal for
women's use. A free trial bottle
can be obtained by writing to DR..

ARRANGE TRANSFER
OF SCHOOL PUPILS

EATON, O., April For the pur-
pose Of effecting mutual transfers of
pupils. joint meeting Of the Preble
and Butler county board Of education
will be held Friday at Camden. Some
time ago Somers township voted to
centralize its schools with those at
Camden and the change will soon be
effected. Somerville, Butler county, Is
nearer some of the districts to be
abandoned and 1t is probable the right
to attend the Butler county school will
be given pupils in these sections. At
another point in this county Butler
county pupils will be allowed to come
over into the Preble schols. At a
recent meeting of the Preble county
board three rural districts in Gratis
township were joined with the village
school at Gratis. 1t Is probable that
the Gratis village. school building will
be enlarged or torn down and a new
one erected.

III WHICH tueIS alC HI SAAA nCAos
Changed its name the other day
To that of willing Workers"
And when we met OF afternoons
As we most often do, ,~+#
We find tho Willing Workers
Are some times very. few.
Jennie Borton Is our president,
And with her cheerful smile,
She meets with us most every time
Though she. lives from town a mile.
I'm sure you all know Anna Jane.
Our superintendent of work,
Who never in her useful life
Was ever known to shirk:
Her busy hands find lots to do,
To idle, she thinks sin,
And when we reach her charming
home
We always find the comforts in.
We all have reverence and love
For her who is all heart;
A Christ-like spirit through and
through
She always does her part.
Some Of the willing Workers"
Are very kind indeed,
They give an all-day meeting,
At noon a sumptuous feed.
The last Of these held some time past,
We announced an innovation
That every one who came that day
Should offer d donation.
Hannah and Harriet were afraid
That each one there might feel,
That they were called upon to pay
For eating square meal.
Some surely did not understand.
Or else they we're SO tickled,
To get an invitation
That they forgot their n1ckle.
Twenty-four ladies came that day.
1t certainly was crowd.
Frank and Delbert left the house
Because they talked so loud.
Ard when Minnie Gibson, treasurer,
BEGAN to count the fives.
She found out of the twenty-four
Just thirteen who were wise
ara SO we ulduc d AO" ASSOA'S
TO be more wise next time;
Ard when next we have dinner,
Wen be sure to charge dime.
Two weeks ago l paid my dues,
almost was in tears.
When Hannah said, "Onetwenty,
please.
You've not paid for two years"
Come forward, gentle sisters,
And pay up all you owe.
We do not wish to dun you
'Twould hurt your feelings so.
And when next we have meeting
And think to call the roll
Our secretary will not find
One single delinquent soul
For We are working very hard
With an object in view.
To raise the funds we sorely need
For our nice building new.
We want new paper and new paint,
We want windows, also doors,
Varnish for our woodwork
And carpet for our floors.
Our needs they are so many,
And they are hard to fill;
And it takes lot of money
To pay up every bill
So at q recent meeting
We planned for a bazaar.
Hoping our members would respond
And the weather would not mar.
The sisters nobly did their part
With aprons, bonnets, caps.
And proved their loving loyalty
BY giving up their maps.
OF course our husbands oft-times
weary
When We tell them Of our labors,
And say the thing most natural
Is to talk about our neighhors.
But tonight we wish to show them
We're sincere folk indeed,
And are able to deliver
The goods in time of need.
And so tonight your seat is free,
We charge nothing for look,
But friends, return the compliment
And show your pocketbook.
Our fish pond attracts both young and
old,
You may secure q bunny
II you will be real generous
And freely spend your monty.

A new anesthetic is being used in

covered. as this. too, has been, by M.
Paulin, q distinguished French chemist
and a pupil of Pasteur. Its action is
not local; 1t operates upon the nerve
centers of the body, and produces a
state of obl%iviousness to pain which
may last for several hours. 1t is
claimed that by an injection of this
fluid into his system the wounded sol.
der may be rendered unconscious sui.
