By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Within the past week I have trav-
eled from the snores of the Yellow
Sea, past the Great Wall of China,
and the fertile fields of Manchuria,
into the mountains and the great
green valleys of Siberia, an imperial
realm. Within that time l have had
to face and discuss the Chinese
Question. the japanese Question and
the Russian Question, with the rcla-
tions of America to them all. What
ever else may be said of such a
strenuous week, it certainly helps one
to see things in the large. The in
cidental and the detail become lost
in the general. One must deal With
large units: which seems particularly
easy to do as ] look out of the win
dows of this Siberian express across
vast spaces of grazing land, with
lakes and rivers, and the blue hills
beyond, and the Mongol nonads
standing to gaze as the train glides
by.
Somewhat similar in effect to the
journey l am at the moment taking
in this quarterly review of the Sun
day School lesson. 1t sweeps q wide
horizon, and deals with succession
of great events and movements. An
honest study of this lesson, with
what it involves, would give one the
NFSChIldl VI u JinSt ell
education, which is the ability to per-
ceive things in their larger relation
ships, with q true historical pe:spec-
tive. Well do I remember an Gd-
dress by the late Bishop Fowler, ci
the Methodist Episcopal Church, in
which he set forth the march and
compass Of the Russian nation, and
its possibilities. More definitely than
any other one single experience in a
speech did for me what / hope this
weeks International Sunday School
Lesson will do for other young people
set them to cultivating an inter-
national consciousness. For the
only way to be a really up to date
and efficient person is to keep in
mind what has been and what may
yet be, in the whole large scheme of
things. A village mind is inadequate
simply because it does not take all
the factors into consideration.
Getting Gods Viewpoint
Two little keys that help unlock
the mysteries of providence are the
quotations concerning God. My
ways are not your ways" and with
Him a thousand years are as a day.
That is to say, God always sees
things in the large. He does not
look through any mans spectacles.

large units of time. His plans do
not all work out in a year or Il cen
tury or a millenium-but they all
eventually work out. Human views
are inadequate, because they take &C
count of only a small portion of the
great pattern of Gods weaving. We
think in small terms about Gods
large plans. The near misfortune
means more to us than the ultimate
outcome. Private soldiers are often
interested only in battles, whereas
commanders in chief are concerned
with the entire campaign. To the
Jews driven into exile, all things had
| collapsed. Their skies had fallen.
In their place of shore vision, it was
impossible to see the great and bene-
ficent purposes of Jehovah in that
stern experience. Yet the exile was
needed by the Jews and by tn.
world.

Southern Doctor Says Blood-Iron-Salts
Puts New Force Into Veins and Nerves

blood-iron salts upon the human body
decided to try it on myself being
somewhat rundown from overwork
and travel. 1 began by taking two
5-grain blood-iron- salts tablets after
meals as directed, and must say that
this remarkable substance was just
what my enervated nerves, blood, and
body needed. 1t is needless to say
that l now advise it's use in a vast
number of cases, and it would be. a
good thing if all men and women who
suffer or feel themselves beginning to
slow up would take blood-iron-
salts"
-Blood-Iron-salts above re-
ferred to is not a secret remedy. The
demand for it is increasing so rapidly
and the manufacturers have such con-
tidence in it that physicians are urged
to prescribe 1t on refund the money
basis if it does not increase strength,
healthy tissue and power of endur-
ance in four weeks time. Any person
may obtain Salts in tablet
form in this city from Forney, Kenne-
dy, GorgaS and other good druggists,
without a Doctors prescription. The
usual dose is two 5-grain tablets with
a swallow of water after meals, three
times daily, but where only strength,
nerve energy, and endurance are de-
sired, and not added flesh and weight,
only one tablet should be taken after
meals. 1t is guaranteed not TO injure
the teeth or stomach, is pleasant to
take, and must not be confounded
with other preparations containing
salts. iron or phosphate. The ingre-
dients in Blood-Iron-Salts are so COM
! pounded as to aid Nature in regulat-
| ing a more normal-lilSe action OF the
stomach, liver. and bowels, and can
not cause constipation. On the con-
| trary, it aids the digestive functions
and aims to bring about regular daily
defecation and the elimination of con-
gested conditions and poisonous tox-

When Drugs, Exercise

Fail
A SIMPLE TEST TO TRY

New York-For many years physi--
clans and scientists have hoped that
some genius of the medical world
would discover harmless compound
that would put increased strength
and endurance into the dilapidated
bodies of those who are dellcate,
nervous, rundown. or lacking in
healthy tissue and power of endur-
ance. -, .
Gabriel Boudousquie, NJ d., the
well-known New Orleans author, VINO

Italy. and Austria, says: Any medical
compound to be effective in restoring
wasted nerve energy. lost strength,
and health must contain ingredients
for eliminating the poisonous toxins
for restoring the enerNated nerve
cells, and for increasing red blood
corpuscles. Nowadays. so many dif-
ferent tonics and foods are sold that
one might have to take several kinds
in order to correct the three evils un-
doubtedly existing in wide variety
of cases. My attention was first called

Sends Home Holly Sprig
From Trenches in France

This is a letter received by Mrs.
George Werner from her son, Cor
don Werner, a graduate of Technical
High School and now somewhere in
France
Dear Mother--Am sending you
by pa. eel post a sprig of holly from
the beautiful pine forest which sur
rounds this camp. There is hardly
any tree or foliage that is not ever
green in this northernly location.
There is no fighting going on now,
but there are lots of trenches and
fortiilcations. The most warlike
thing l have seen so far was the
bombardment of a deserted village.
/ have seen considerable travelling in
France and have spent two weeks
in a city of the south where there
were a hundred Americans. You
can imagine what a sensation we
made when on the street. Seventy
two of these formed the Yale unit,
all graduates of Yale University.
When eleven of us We're detailed to
this place they gave us a rousing
sendoff. Company c of Governors
Island was split up in all directions
upon leaving the ship. We had an
eventful trip across, but of this l
shall not write at this time. 1 have
an interesting bunch of scenes which
| collected at the different towns
and cities I visited. Would like to
send them, but this is impossible on
account of censorship regulations.
Will close for this time, with love
to all.

FISH HAD FALSE TEETH

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec 2S.-A- fish
wearing false teeth was hooked q
few days ago in the Gulf of Mexico,
near Indian Rocks, Fla, by A. l..
Anderson, of independence. Ir. An
derson was invited to go out in a
boat with II. II. Ingersoll, a we'll
known resident of Indian Rocks.
During the day they brought up a
specimen of the "swell toad" or bur-
fish variety. AS the hook was pulled
out it brought with it a front plate
with four false teeth attached to
gold bridge. Later it was learned
by the astonished fishermen that a
few days before a visitor from Olds-
mar, a nearby resort, had dropped
his teeth while bathing.

In Justice to Mr.. Hiram Phelps

In the issue of the Breckenridge News
of August the list, 1917. there appeared
a reference to Mr.. Hiram Phelps, Hard
insburg, Kentucky, which this paper has
learned was an error. The head liue of
of said article mentioned forging checks.
The body of the clipping then printed
from The Louisville Herald showed
that the accusation was uttering of a
worthless check. The heading was an
error The Breckenridge News is in
formed that Mr.. Phelps simply over
drew his account, as oftens happens, and
it desires to set itself right and to say
that the mistake was made with no NAL
ice and no intention of injuring or doing
an injustice to Mr. Phelps, but only as
news article, and this is the reason the
News makes this statement.

PHOTOGRAPHS ON WOOD.
An Easy Method by Which the Print,
May Be Transferred.

A method of transferring pictures TO
wood is given in the Electrical Exper-
imenter by V. G. Mcllvaine, as follows:
Dissolve salt in soft water, float your
photo print on the surface picture side
up; let it remain about an hour. The
wood should be of birdseye maple or
other light colored hardwood. which
should be vanished with the best
copal or transfer varnish.
Take the picture from the water, dry
a little between linen rags then put
the engraving. picture side down, on
the vanished wood and smooth 1t
nicely. If the picture entirely covers
the wood after the margin is cut off so
that no yarnish Is exposed lay over 1t
thin board and heavy weight; leave
1t thus over night. If you wish but a
small picture I'm the center of the wood
apply the varnish only to a space the
size of the picture.
When ready to complete your work
the next day dip your foreiinger in salt
and water and commence rubbing off
the paper. The nearer you come to
the picture the more careful you must
be. as hole would spoil your work.
