livened the evening with recitations
of a humorous nature, as did Carroll
Bond, who rehearsed the experiences of
many members under dire circum-
stances and asked pointedly for ex-
plantations from various ones as to
this, that and the other suspicious oc-
currenees a vein Of drollery, char
acteristic of the speaker, ran through
the paper and provoked good humor
and laughter at the expense of many
The gem of the evening was the ad-
dress by the guest of the evening, Rev
Mr.. Pattison. His topic was The Great
est Job in the World, and this he I'M
hesitatingly claimed was being a true
hearted, whole-heaTted Christian. He
said he came to tell of great things in
a glad way. He formerly was on the
road selling goods and he knew what
was necessary, namely, to have the
finest proposition TO offer. And this, =
said he, "is what I bring to you this
evening. There are many things about
the church which are not necessarily
men s work. He referred humorous
ly to the man who, when called to task
by a friend because he was not more
active in church work, said: ''Well, do
you know / We been coming here more
than a year and the only thing We
, been asked to do was to squeeze lemons
at a picnic.
Mr.. Pattison referred to the signs in
/ London tram ears and takes, "Men
wanted on the firing line, - saying that
this attracted far more than a call to
"join the army and the ordinary
loafing job. The call to the heroic al
ways appeals to a man; an opportunity
for service. Moses said to Hobab
"Come thou with US and we will do
the good. - Hobab said, "No, thank
you. l II go on home to my family.
But Moses said, Come and thou shalt
be eyes for US in the DESERT and Ho
bah enlisted. Be a Christian! Make it
hard for man and he will tackle it
The speaker further calculated his
thought by mentioning various very
practical ways of doing and living tbs
Christian life. The big brother idea
helping the weak man, combating evil
etc, were mentioned and the thought
was enforced that religion is biz
business for every place and every
day. "Be Christian; win a Chris
tian. What He is to me l want Hin
to be to you
Very much regret was expressed owe
the absence of the pastor, Rev. G. Z
Tomkinson, who with Mrs. Tomkinsol
is obliged to spend the week at hom'
because of illness. The president wa
requested to convey to them an appre
ciative message with a beautiful plan
as further evidence of esteem. In hi
absence, l.. w Hawley, the veteran
teacher, closed the program with fittin,
reference to the speaker of the even
ing and with suggestions as to tn
work Immediately ahead of them thi

IF KIDNEYS And
BLADDER BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts TO Flush Out
Your Kidneys and Neutralize IT.
ritating Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority
The kidneys filter this acid from tho
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
in1ame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obhging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes some
times with scalding sensation and is
very profuse; again, there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can t control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful this is really
one of the most simple ailments to ov-
ercome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast, continue this for
two or three days. This Will neutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer
is a source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs which then act nor
mally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and IS made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with hthia
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for Kidneys and cause no bad
effects whatever.
Here You have pleasant, efferves
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.

RAILROADS REDUCE
FREIGHT EMBARGOES
ing Freely to the Seaboard
Terminals,

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Trunk line
railroads have been modifying their
embargoes on export freight from time
to time, until now large part of the
general traffic to the seaboard is free
of restrictions. Pennsylvania announces
that it is accepting all freight for ex-
port through New York except -four, cot-
ton and lumber on through bills of
lading. The embargo is still in force
against hay, straw and empty barrels
for domestic delivery.
In removing most restrictions it has
had in effect, Pennsylvania railroad
has warned its operating officers and
agents that it viii be necessary to i'm
pose restrictions again if shippers fail
to cooperate by offering only such
freight as can be disposed of promptly
on its arrival in the New York district
This means, chiefly, that shippers of
export freight must forward only as
they are able to command prompt YES
sci loading.
Shippers are asked by the Pennsyl-
vania to bear in mind that there has
not yet been any material reduction in
the number of loaded cars the railroad
| is holding for export. They are advised
that it is in their own interests that
they regulate their shipments as re-
quested.
New York central lines are new ac-
eepting q large volume of export bust
ness, the chief exceptions being com
modities which move in large consign-
ments, such as steel, iron pipe, tinplate
lumber, wire, machinery and locomo
tive and car parts. They are again ac
cepting automobiles, provided they are
consigned to particular steamers dock
ing at the West Shore docks, so as tt
avoid Tightening. The embargoes OF
these lines are principally against ex
port freight from connecting lines. Les
than carload shipments are being gen
orally accepted from shippers on sys
tenn lines.
