There are battle lines in the

hundreds of miles. Bnt the bat.
tie line in this country against
the saloon is thousands of miles
in length, extending, literally,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from the Gulf of Mexico to

Some of the great central

literally spents hundreds of
thousands of dollars in their
battle for the preservation of
their saloons during 1915.
During this period they
succeeded in re-opening only
twelve saloons in communities
which had formerly voted dry,
but in the same period of dry
forces succeeded in closing a
total of 800 saloons This is a
wonderful record when one

The Two Men
-.
Must Be Seen

The reader may think this is
a strange heading. And that we
have been along time a telling it,
Yet we shall answer, that the
heading should not be strange to
the reader of the CREsSET And
they should no, think that we
have been a long time in telling
it. For this is what we have
been telling the people, since
1890, 26 years ago, we common.
ced this work in the city of Sc.
dalia, vet we wish to, say our
first effort on this great truth
was preached 4years before this
time 30 years ago. But the real
work of telling the world of the
Two Men commenced in 1890 the
same year we secured our copy
rlght: Since that time no day has
failed US in telling the world that
God had created a man male and
female on the sixth day. (See
Gen. 1-26 20 The progenitor
OF the gentle race, and after the
seventh day he formed another
man (See Gen. 2 y who was the
progenitor of the Israelitish
race. We have all these many
years above mentioned, used
mouth and pen, to tell The people
that they would have to believe
in the Two Men if they believed
the word of cod. For God said.

turn you to Paul's letter to the
Roman brethren. Please read.
For If thou vert cut out of the

olive tree: how much more shall
these, which be the natural
branches, be grated into their

Now we nave before US the
two olive trees who in the. scrip.

we're two men? And we answer
it makes just the difference that
there is between a truth and a
falsehood. And without the two
men no man can understand the

TOWN AND COUNTRY CHILDREN.
 If the efforts of the United States health bureau are of any avail, the next generation will see children in the country just as healthy as those ir the city
 It will shock some persons to learn that health in the country is not all |trat it has been cracked up to be. There is plenty of fresh air, of course, and chores insure a plenti- tude of outside employment. which is usually considered very healthy. But it Is apparent that the average farm house has not made good, and especi- ally in winter, when for weeks ch'l- dfen are kept cooped up in ill-veiiti- lated houses, il]-health has a chance to levy it's toll.
 Even in the cities, of course, con d.tions are far from perfect. But the public health authorities, in co-opera- ten with the public school system. fas ingraintd the fundamentals of acquiring and keeping health into every child, so that as a fact many city children breathe more fresh air during the "A hours day than do country children! And plenty of fresh air, the doctors tell us, is at the bottom of good health. It is the medicine and health pce' server on earth

Europe by & commission in quest Of information as to the workings of foreign Farm credits systems, land Volumnious reports were made. % ' The president was said to have been disappointed that the last con, g-ess failed to pass rural credits legis- htinn, which he considered it in duty bound to do after all the previous fuss that had been made over the proposition, and in view of the fact that the Baltimore platform explicit iy stated that it was the intention of tie Democratic party to form such legislation. .-
 After three years in office the president thinks it about time that tsrdy congressman get to work on cne of the rlanks of the platform, which, by the way also was a plank in the Republican and Progressive platforms.
