SEVEN MORE
British Vessels Fall Victim to Mys-
FERROUS Moewe.

London, Feb. 23.-A Reuter-
dispatch from Santa Cruz, in
the Canary Islands, states that
the British steamer Westburn
has put in there forrepairs flying
a German flag and in charge OF
a prize crew consisting OF an
officer and seven men.
One of the latter, according to
the dispatch, wears a cap IN
scribed rs. M. S. Moehen." The
dispatch was evidently mutilat-
ed in transmission and it is as
sumed that the name on the cap
was "Moeve," that Of the Ger
man raider which captured the
Appam.
In addition to her own crew
the Westburn lad aboard a
large number of prisoners TAX
en- from various British vessels,
named in the dispatch as the
Flamento, Horace, Clan Macta-
wish, Edimburg, Beige and Lux
embourg. There were also
eleven Spanish sailors aboard.
The Westburn is listed as a
steel screw steamer of $500
tons, of Sunderland. She was
built in 1893 and her last regis
istered master was A. T. Camp
bell.
Santa Cruz is the capital of
the island of Palma, one of the
Canaries. The Canaries are a
Spanish possession and are To-
Gated about 60 miles from the
west coast of Africa.
Apparently the Moewe is still
at large and has sunk or cap
tured IA ships. When the APP
pam arrived at Newport News
she reported the sinking of the
| z British ships.

10000 NEED
ASSISTANCE

NATCHEZ, Miss, Feb. 23.-
Approximately ten thousand
in the flooded district of
Northern Louisiana are in need
of assistance, according to a
statement made in an appeal re-
ceived here tonight from Mayor
w. NJ. Davidson of st. Joseph.
He said most of the sufferers
were negro tenants on planta-
tions.
Mayor Jacoby of Newelton
was quoted tonight as stating
that the citizens of Newelton
considered government aid
necessary. He said a mass meet
ing this afternoon at Newelton
showed that the opinion pre-
vented that it was a government
levee that broke at Buckridge
and the government should at
least supply food for the ref
ugees.
Captain Hunt of the quarter
masters department of the army
reported from St. Joseph that
his investigations had revealed
that government aid was moi
necessary under present circum-
stances.

HERBS AS HOUSE
HOLD REMEDIES

From the earliest history Of the
human race the world over, herbs,
roots and barks have been used as
household remedies. Those nations
who peopled the civilized world be-
fore the Christian era have handed
down to US in their writings descrip
tons of the very same household rem
edies that are in universal use today.
These remedies were laboriously gath
cred and placed in their crudest form
upon the shelf for future use. That
these simple remedies were beneficial
is not doubted by anyone; today medi
cal science universally accepts these
same remedies. Their medicinal value
having been proven by generations OF
constant use, the authorities on ma
terra medica the world over agree
upon their medicinal qualities. Need
less to say these various roots, barks
and herbs do not have the same medi-
cinal properties, but rather they cover
a wide. range of the many ills to which
the flesh is heir.
Medical science of the present day
has carefully studied the many RENE
dies in various proportions and their
effects, and have scientifically demon
strated from the entire worlds pro-
duets which are the best under certain
conditions for the many different dis
eases.
There is a carefully selected and
scientific combination of simple veg
etable remedies, the original formula
of which is that of distinguished
German physician. 1t is not a patent
medicine, but the result of perfected
private formula which has for over
seventeen years proven most benef-
cial for the relief Of all blood, stom-
ach, liver and kidney diseases. It is
put up in small chocolate coated tab
let's, the most convenient form for uni
versal use. 1t may have its imita-
tons, but it has no substitutes. On
merit alone it has made a place for it
self and written its name high in the
world Of family medicines, far above
many which claim to be just as good.
It is known as German-American Herb
Compound, formerly sold only through
agents and by mall. but now it may be
found in all drug and general stores,

AN ARTICLE FOM THE PEN
OF ALBERT P. ZINN.
On tn eUnion Revival Meeting Just
Closed.

The union revival meeting at
Belington has closed; the door
of opportunity hac losed, tor
ever, on some poor soul, who at
tended these meetings I'VE do not
know what is in store for us,and
each one should ask himself,
as it II" 1876 souls, however,
found salvation in Christ, sew
eral of these were renewed and
have made a new covenant with
God. The church is strength
ened and homes made new by
the lower of God A spirit of
unity exists as never before IN
spite of the fact that the Devil
is trying to destroy it. 1t will
require a great deal OF grace to
help us to maintain this unity IN
the face of some trying expert
ences. Yet there is sufficient
grace for the trial.
Among those who should have
stood by the evangelist are some
| whose sole occupation is to crit
icise; others of them did not
seem to care whether any one
was saved or not; yet there were
the faithful ones who went into
the thickest Of the fight and
now bear the marks of the con-
fict. Many who did not LOOK
carefully into their own hearts,
and did not look into the heart
of the message brought by the
evangelist are too willing to
criticise and say that they do
not believe he breaches. No one
has Alright to criticise thing
| he has not studied carefully and
prayerfully. The Sheriff party
is a consecrated, loyal set of
workers for Christ, and they
speak fearlessly the truth, no
matter who it hits. Following
/ is a synopsis of the messages
brought:
Jan. 80. "The closed door"
The evangelist emphasized the
fact that Jesus Christ, being the
true door, held safety 70 those
who were closed in with him
that behind the door is protec-
ton, help and heaven outside
the door is destruction. That
to be closed in with Christ will
stop the bad tongue.
Feb. 5. "Will q man rob God ?"
He emphasized the fact that
men and women are "Robbing
God of their boys and girls, their
own manhood and womanhood,
\ their good citizenship and their
own souls, all for their own sell
fish life Of sin, giving their best
to the Devil and keeping God
far away as possible.
Feb. 6. How to get saved
and how to keep saved" He
said, Here in this word our
: sins are constantly changing I'VE
are not tempted alike all the
, time but our sins and tempta-
: tions change with our environ
ments. We are to overcome day
/ by day." To get saved depends
! upon the sinner; an unbelivel
/ must first believe; one who al
| ready believes must first repent
: all sinners must repent and ac
1 cept Christ as their persona
: Saviour and trust him at al
times. Keep saved by Search
e ing Gods word; learning tt
t pray; uniting with some church
: thus seeking good compan
ionship.
: At the mems meeting: Mock
Y God" He emphasized the fac
t that the great sin of Americ,
d today is "Licentiousness." Hi
t warning, however, was no
: needed by many men as /, my
self found number of men VIII,
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1916-02-24

said that they were so taken
with this sin that they did not
care to quit at this time, pre-
ferring to go on as they had
been. The evangelist said that
MEN is what he wants to be; if
he wants to be thief, he will be
, thief; if he wants to be a liar,
he will be a liar; if he wants to
be an adulterer, he will be one.
Feb. 8 Watch What shall
you watch? First, your actions,
they speak louder that words,
your thoughts, your character,
your heart; if your heart is
right all your life is right
Some day, Weighed and found
wanting. 8hen ten command
ments." He emphasized that
self-exaltation will bring a man
down to low state of existence,
that it does not matter much
what men think of you but it
does matter a great deal what
God thinks.
Feb. 9. "Amusements.' He
showed without successful con-
tradiction that the so-called
harmless amusenenIs of the
present day are the Devils way
for deceiving the Christian and
leading them into positive sin,
and as people indulge in these
things, such as the home card
parties, theaters, dances, ball
games, horse races, ETC., they
lose their Christian influence in
the community in which they
live. No one recognizes them
as follower of Jesus Christ.
Feb. TO-. "The New Man." "a
man is just what he wants to
be, and vice verse, he wants to
be just what he is. The new
man is one who is hid away
with Christ"
Feb. II. "The Second Com
ling" This sermon excited a
great deal of comment and crit
icism. His text was Matt. "a ;
Al. "Be we also ready He
said 1.-THE message is from God
to you, and for all men and calls
