Y. M. c. A. MEETING.
Rev. H. J. Wyckoff Delivered Address
 on Sizes and Sevens.

A good sized audience of men at- tended the Y. M. c. A. rally at the Thayer building Sunday.
 The meeting opened with a ten-min- ute song service and tffe Hnen sang the familiar hymns. After a brief prayer by Secretary Hill. a vocal solo, Thy Will Be Done, was sweetly rendered by Hugh Kinder. Selections by Swahn's orchestra delighted the audience
 Rev. H. J. Wycioff was the speaker and his topic was Sizes and Sevens. The speaker said in part: When things are all mixed up we say every thing is at sizes and sevens. In se- lecting an automobile usually the man IS more interested in the cylinders than anything else, while the woman s chief interest is in how many the ma chine will seat, ard the ideal car in the thought of mcst people is a six cylin- der and seven passenger car.
 In the church of God it is too often true that the women are interested in the power department, while the men sit in the rear seats Great things would happen if many who are in- different would move forward from the rear seats into the cylinder CT power department. Once in a while a cylin- der begins to knock and the machine cannot do its best work; only When all the cylinders work in harmony can the best results be obtained. The req son why there is still so much sin and vice in our city Is that the men who should be serving their fellows are simply passengers.
 After the address Mr. Kinder sang the appealing selection Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight? the audience joining in the chorus. after which sew eral men requested prayer.
 The meeting was helpful and inn preSsive

Tells a Secret Manufactures of Famous Medicine Tells Ingredients, So Public Can Appreciate Pure, Reliable Medi- cine.

Many people fear to take medicine to check and abort colds, cure coughs, catarrh, etc. This fear is sroundless with all the products of The Black burn Products Go, Dayton. Ohio. Not one contains cpiates,, narcotics or harmful drugs. Mentho-Laxene, for coughs, colds, eatarTh and all distress following a cold, is . compound of Wild Cherry, Toiu, Caseara, Grinde- 1ia, Menthoe Ammonium Chloride, and alcohol sufficient to preserve and keep in solution.
 I Every ingredient is in concentrated form and the medicine is SO strong that only ten-drop doses are to be taken in the "raw" state. But the ideal way is to make into syrup by Iemptying . sK oz. bottle of Mentho- lL<axcne into a pint bottle and then fiji |the bottle with Granuiated sugar Isyrup, made by dissolving a pint of sugar in half pint of boiling water
 It is said by thonsznds that this makes
