Crooked Straits.

Perhaps the most remarkable and
intricate strait in the world is likely
to be chucked on the scrap heap. Its
day, which began late in history, is
almost over. The Panama canal has
diverted most of its traffic and will
presently divert much more. The ia
nous explorer Magellan was the first
man to brave the dangers of this tor
tuous passage. He did it in wind
TANNER, but as a rule only steamships
follow in his train. 1t is too crooked a
strait for the sailing ship.
In the first place, the strait Of Magel-
Ian is 400 miles long. 1t is as twisty
and bendy as serpent or an eel, and
In places it is flanked with snow cap
ped mountains 1000 feet high.
1t would help matters If ships could
anchor, but they cannot. The water
is too deep. So this strait has never
been popular with sailing shippers,
and they prefer the rigors Of the Horn
and several hundred miles farther
around

SONG of the Marines.

The United States marine corps is
unique in all branches of the American
services In having a distinctive march
ing song that is as swingy and catchy
as many of the foreign marching
songs. True. West Point has its Ben
ny Havens song, and the Seventh cav
airy marches to the inspiring tune of
Garry owen, but the "Halls of Mon
tezuma" is sung by all who wear the
marines uniform. One verse Of the
song, a favorite one, runs:
Our flags unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun.
We have fought in every cline and place
Where we could take a gun.
In the snow of farof northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes
You will find us always on the job,
The United States marines.

GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL

SUNDAY SCHOOLS AND THE
WAR.

ITHERE are tens of thousands of
l. earnest, professed Christians
in the trenches of Europe today.
The demands of governments have
been met by the leading Christian
workers of the countries involved
in this war. The church, the Y. M.
c. A., the Bible societies, in fact
every organization, is seeking to
meet the extraordinary situation
which now exists.
Evangelism 10 being aggressiveIy
carried on and the field force of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, to the best Of its resources, Is
taking advantage of this opportun-
ity to minister to the bodily and
spiritual needs Of the armies of Eu-
rope. Sunday school work such as
we know in America is not known
in Europe, for they do not have
such prominent men identified with
the work, especially on the con-
tinent, nor has the adult division
work made any great Roadway.
Therefore this movement, as such,
in Europe, is not making much of
an impression in this world crisis.
1t has remained for American
Sunday school leaders to make a
definite contribution. This has
taken the form of a move to fur
nish every soldier in the trenches
with copy of the New Testament.
Some leading American Christian
business men have SO underwritten
this work as to allow every cent
contributed actually to be expend-
ed on the field. In other words a
million nickels collected from the
Sunday school scholars of America
delivered one million pocket tesla
ments among the soldiers OF Eu-
rope.
The war has affected the worlds
Sunday school work so much so
that the work in South America
and in Moslem lands is now being
entirely supported and directed by
the American workers. Mr.. Frank
L. Brown of New York. the head.
The Tokyo Worlds convention of
October. 1916, has also been de-
layed until a proper time after the
war has closed.

A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH
EASY TO WAKE Am COSTS LIrTLE

hAFA ~ VA Mt AMI AUNlN ~ lliiE
Catarrh is such an insidious dis
ease and has become so prevalent
during the past few years that its
treatment should be understood by
all
Science has fully proved that Ca
tarrh is a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment Sprays, inhalers. salves
and nose douches seldom If ever give
lasting benefit and often drive the dis
ease further down the air passages
and into the lungs.
II you have Catarrh or Catarrhal
deafness or head-noises. go TO your
druggist and get one ounce of Par
mint Double strength. Take this
home and add to il IA pint OF hot
water and ounces Of granulatod
sugar stir until dissolved, take one
tablespoonful 4 times a day.
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head-noises,
clogged nostrils should open, breath
ing become easy and mucus stop drop
ping into the throat
This treatment has slight tonic
action which makes it especially ef-
fective in cases where the blood has
become thin and weak IL is easy to
make. tastes pleasant and costs little.
Every person who wishes TO be free
from this destructive disease should
give this treatment a trial.
