hear this sermon on restitution to-

The evangelist said that one woman
in Keokuk had insisted all along that
she had no use for his revival until
the other day when she saw a dead
one" pay up an old account. That's
what you've got to do II you're going
to be a real christian" said Scovjlle.

Why Tolerate CatarIh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg-
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos
trils frequently with solution of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
firing, and take a spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
SCOTS acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
slycerine to check the inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.
