BOWMAN.

Mrs. Lula Anderson Bowman died at
the home of her HUSBAND. Mr.. j. 5.
Bowman, in Lewis county, Wednesday
morning after a lingering and painful
illness. The word flew over our town
as the wings of the wind. and where
ever it touched it left sorrow, and the
expressions of sympathy for tie aged
parents and other bereaved ones were
many and from the heart.
Bright, happy and cheerful, Lula car
ried sunshine wherever she went She
had always smile and pleasant word
for her friends and her death comes as
dark shadow to her friends and rela-
tives who knew her true worth and
loved her so dearly. Our town and its
people were ever dear to her, for here
she was born and reared, and when the
last hour came and the God of eternity
was calling her to her everlasting home,
it was her desire that beneath the
shady trees of our Silent City, sur
rounded by relatives and friends who
had gone before, all that was mortal
should be placed to rest by the hands
of friends whom she named.
All the care and love of a devoted
husband and skilled physicians and
anxious relatives could devise and APP
ply for her comfort during her illness,
were brought into play, but without
avail.
God touched her with his finger and
she slept. the poet wrote, so may We
say of her God touched her with his
finger and she slept, but not until a
beautiful life was lived, noble exam
pie of patience, fidelity to truth and
faith were given. Not until the WIS.,
ions of heavenly life. in Christ Jesus.
which had begun at the age Of thirteen
and which cheered and illumined the
valley of the shadow. And now that
she sleeps memory takes up the harp
of life and shifting the strings sees her
a friend and happy school girl, devot-
ed daughter. fond sister, a dutlful
wife-finds in all these relationships of
life that her part was well performed,
her manv virtues melting into music.
So 1t ever is when a life is fiobly and
dvinely lived. Life will never be quite
the same to her loved ones who will
long for the touch OF vanished hand,
for the sound of voice that is stilled.
Mrs. Bowman was born in Lancaster
February IL, 1864, and was married to
Mr.. j. S. Bowman in August 1900, and
has since that time resided in Lewis
county. The last time she was at home
was at the Goth wedding anniversary
of her mother and father. How swift
ly, it seems, sorrow has followed joy
into this household but when the sum-
mons to "come up higher" came. her
spiritual house was in order, she was
prepared for the translation. Since the
age of thirteen, when she joined the
church, she had mad been active in its
work and has been member of the
local W. c. T. U. since it organization.
After appropriate funerel services,
conducted by Elder f. NJ. finder. the
body will be laid to rest in the Lancas-
ter cemetery.

Not a Bite of
 Breakfast Until
 You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and phosphate prevents illness
 and keeps US fit.

Just as coal when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incom- bustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indigestible mate rial, which if not completely eliminat- ed from the system each day, becomes food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels. From this mass of leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine- like poisons are formed and sucked into the blood.
 Men and women who can't get feel ing right must begin to take inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink glass of real hot wa ter with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash cut of the thirty feet of bowels the previous days accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh.
 Those who are subject to sick head. ache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff- ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any druggist or storekeeper, and be- gin practicing internal sanitation This will cost very little, but is suffi- cient to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
 Remember inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing poor health, while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels.-Adv.

Now They Are Not Afraid to Let the Children Run Outdoors
 Freely.

Every mother knows how hard it is to keep children, especially boys, in doors in bad weather. And yet if they run out it usually means croup or colds. Carthage, Mo-, mothers have solved this problem by keeping plenty of fresh air in the bedroom at night, and applying a hot application of Vick's Vap-O-Rub at the first sign of trouble.
 Vap-O-Rub really is remarkable preparation. It is the invention of North Carolina druggist, and is universally used in the South, but was introduced here only last winter.
 It comes in salve form and is ap- piled externally over the throat and chest. Externally-it acts like poul- tice or plaster, relieving the tightness and soreness. Internally-it acts like a vapor-lamp, except that you do not have to keep the windows shut and the fresh air excluded as you do with the old fashioned vapor-lamp. Vick's is so made that the body heat re leases the ingredients in the form o vapors. These vapors are inhaled witf every breath through the air passagei to the lungs, carrying the medication right to the affected parts.

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD
 TAKE GLASS OF SALTS
Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Hurt or You Have Backache or Bladder Misery
 Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flush- ing the kidneys occasionally, says well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi- ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take Q tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast for few days and youl kidneys will then act fine. This ia nous salts is made from the acid O. grapes and lemon juice, combined witt lithia and has been used for genera tions to flush clogged kidneys ant stimulate them to activity, also to neu tralize the acids in urine so it n longer causes irritation, thus endin bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and canno injure; makes delightful efferve! cent Whitewater drink which all re, ular meat eaters should take now an then to keep the kidneys clean an the blood pure, thereby avoiding s rious kidney complications.-Adv.

 -STRENGTH AT 100000.
JUNIOR GUARD PROVIDED
Boys From 12 to 18 Years of Age Would Be Made AvaiIs 'ole for Ac- tive Servce-Enlistmen Con-
 tract Pledges Men to Serve.

Washington.-The proposals of the National Guard Association for na- tionalization of the state troops were before the military committees In the form of bill drafted by represen- tatives of the association at the re- quest of the Senate committee. The
 regulations contemplated are given
 force by a provision limiting particl-
 pating in the federal pay feature to officers, men or organizations comply ing with certain specified require ments.
 The scale of annual pay proposed IS as follows: Major-general, $500; brigadeiers, $700; colonels, $500; lieu tentn-colonels, $550 majors, $525; captains, $500; first liutenants, $500; second lieutenants, $250. Enlisted men would be paid on the basis of 25 per cent of the pay rates of the regular army, private receiving ap- proximately $45 a year.
 Tie maximum number of troops provided for by the bill is 300 for each congressional district, or to- tai peace strength of approximately 100000 an increase of 10000 over the present strength of the national guard. They would form a separate branch of the regular army in time of war when called into the federal service. The act would take effect July l, 1916.
 The bill provides also for organiza- tior of a junior guard composed of boys between 12 and IS, available for active service only after every other class of militia has been called out. The juniors would be divided into two classes-cadets, or those of 15 and above, and cadets of the second class, those under 15.
 An enlistment contract would be required, under which the soldier would DInd himself to serve the ted eral government, within or without the continental limits of the United States" for a period of two years or until discharged, should the guard be- called out at any time during his lree-year enlistment period. The en- stment period of any soldier whose me was close to expiration when | ia regiment was called out would be | xtended automatically.

Ns s-=sl s-sI.. to ms notable service M inc pre-emi- nent illustration of Christian love ln the brotherhood at Jerusalem was Barnabas. If we had more of such today we would have less of union labor troubles and missionary deficits. We do well to consider carefully the six distinguishing features of this F early church: CD A praying church (4:24-30), CD a Spirit-f1lled church (3D. (3) a united church (32), (4) witnessing church (33), (5) minis | tering church GA, 35), (6l a multiply Ing church (36, SD.
 II. The Devil-Possessed Unbeiever, 5, 1-16. Barnabas had received great praise for what he had done at the i'm pulse of the Holy Spirit in his life. It is an exceedingly fair picture, but the scene of the early church had been from foes without, now it faces the greater peril of foes within. And when this great question, regarding the de- ity and personality of the Holy Spirit, IS first brought to light, God, through i his church, dealt with it in stern manner. The devil is always present ing his limitations of everything good and holy Ananias and Sapphira were not willing to make like sacrifice. They, too, "sold a possession" but they secreted part of the price and brought the rest with the intent to de- celve the church. The Holy Spirit quickly informed the church of this hypocrisy and, Spirit-guided, they were not deceived For Ananias to lie in the atmosphere of love and con- secration engendered by the Holy
 Spirit made his crime the more unpar- donable. The same words are used in describing his actions as those used in describing the actions of Barnabas up to certain point. But what diff ference we see subsequently,. In the case of Barnabas his act was deed of self-forgetting love; in the case of
 Ananias it was one of calculating ny
 pocrisy. We thus see that the early
 church was not as perfect as some 2 would have us imagine it to be.
 The second section of this para } graph (vv. 12-16) is a record of wha' the results of this vindication of the ! Holy Spirit were. First the Spiri | came upon the apostles and literally
 overfowed upon all those about them
 In the second place those who wer'
 thinking of joining the church for mer \ cenary motives were held back iron
 so doing (v. 1S).
 If the Holy Spirit were present il k such power today there would be fewe
 hypocrites who would dare to joi ' themselves to it.
 ! The deception of Ananias was delit

 a grave danger to this early church It threatened to choke the yer fountain of love and unity which ha n sprung up in the midst of the selfls
 world.
 The stern judgment that came upo
 Ananias and Sapphira was richly me ' ited and indeed was gracious, for k siftsd and saved the church.
