Almost Every Human Ailment Is
Directly Traceable to Impurities
in the Blood.
You cannot overestimate the i'm
portance of keeping the blood free of
impurities. When you realize that
tne heart is constantly pumping this
vital fluid to all parts Of the BODY, YOU
can easily see that any impurity in
the blood will cause serious complica-
tions.
Any slight disorder or impurity
that creeps into the blood is a source
OF danger, for every vital organ of
the body depends upon the blood sup
ply to properly perform its functions.
Many painful and dangerous dis
eases are the direct result of a bad
condition of the blood. Among the
most serious are Rheumatism, with

First Chief Gets All But Scat
tered Ballots in
Election.

MEXICO CITY, March l2.-Gen.
Carranza was Sunday elected presi-
dent Of Mexico by what is believed
to have been the largest vote ever
cast in the republic. Although the
voters had the privilege OF writing
in or declaring any name they de
sired. Gen. Carranza received all but
a few scattering ballots. The esti-
mated vote cast runs AL the way
from several hundred thousand 10 d
million.
The presidential election Sunday
was provided for in articles adopted
by the constitutional assembly which
met at QueretarO. Many Of the old
residents declare that this was the
first real election ever held in the
country. Reports from various parts
of the republic Indicate that there
was no disturbance or intimidation.
Although there was no opposition
for the presidency. the congressional
contests were bitterly fought The
campaign efforts OF the different
candidates in the federal district
lasted until the early hours Sunday
morning and the streets were lit
tered with dodgers and hand bills
proclaiming the virtues Of the an

throughout the district were orderly
and there was a steady stream Of
voters during the day. Troops were
not in evidence, the soldiers casting
their votes in their barracks.

MINISTER SCORES
SOME ATTITUDES
Rev. J. S. Burns Says People,
Like Paul, Need Vision
of Christ.

Scoring the attitude of many men
of the present day who hold the
opinion that TO be a true Christian
one does not have TO belong TO the
church, Rev. John s. Burns, pastor
of the Trinity Presbyterian church,
in his sermon Sunday evening de-
clared that the one need of most
men today is a vision of Christ in
the church. like that which Paul re-
ceived on the road to Damascus
when he was converted from a
prosecutor of the church to its most
ardest apostle.
Rev. Burns said in part:
To-day there is a spirit abroad
among many to slight. despise and
even curse the church, it's ministers,
and its members. Men do not feel
that the church is the greatest force
for righteousness. Men feel that
the church caters TO certain classes,
that the church is exclusive, that it's
ministers preach sermons that have
nothing 10 do with the real life of
the people. that if one wants TO do
a large work for humanity lac must
get out of the church altogether.
Such prosecutors of the church
are sorely i'm need of a vision like
unto that which Paul had on the
way to Damascus. They need TO see
that Christ is alive, that He is the
Son of God, that He as God Himself
is imminent in His church. that
Christ and His church are one and
the same. They need to see what
Paul saw that day. and ever after
wards kept i'm mind. namely, that
Christ was identified with His
church, that the church was His
body, His bride. His building. and
that for anyone TO slight. despise or
curse the church. its ministers or its
members is to slight, despise and
curse the Christ Himself and there
by destroy all possibility OF his be-
ing able to save him from his sins

MUSICIANS PLAN
CONCERT SERIES
ReCitaIS Will be Given by Lo-
cal Artists During the
Spring and Fall.

A series OF nine local artists
concerts" during the spring and
fall and a number Of concerts by ar
fists Of international reputation next

fore the warm weather sets in, when
they will be discontinued until the

will be high class but Of the popular
variety as much as is consistent with
true art. The entertainers will be
paid for their services.

ented musicians in and about South

Local Artist Concerts" will be real
musical treats and big drawing
cards.

Concerts" as we'll as TO the winter
series of concerts and recitals by
world famed artists will be open only
to members of the musical associa-
ton. Membership in the association

TO promote interest in music here.
Season tickets will be sold to the
members emitting them TO attend all
these concerts. The Local Artists
Concerts" probably will be held at
the high school.
A campaign for members for the

fines American Patriotism
at st. PauI'S Church.

I'VE Americans have greater rea-

music was rendered and two pic

DIR. Gardiner said in part:
Patriotism is an unselfsh love
for ones own country. II is that
unselfish devotion to the welfare.
happiness and prosperity of the ma
ton we proudly call our own. The
patriotism of true Americans is that
love for our country that puts
America first. last and always as the
object of our hearts most loyal de-
votiOn.
Patriotism is universal in
stinct II is grounded in the very
nature of man. Like religion, it is
native to man. Every tribe and
every nation so far as we know has
had a love for the country, which
il called it's own. No one knows
the name of the worlds first pa -
triot. Patriotism is not confined 10
any country or to any people.
we Americans have greater rea-
son possibly than any other people
to love our country. We ought to
appreciate our nation when we re-
mem Der the cost of American citiz-
enship. To estimate its cost we
will have TO count the sacrifices
that were made by the Pilgrim
fathers who first landed upon our
soil and by the blood spilled in the
American Revolutionary war. i'm the
Civil war of 1861 TO 1866 and in the
Spanish American war. Citizenship
in the United States has been pur-
chased at a great cost and every
true American ought to appreciate
this fact.
I'VE ought TO be true Americans
when we remember the stars and
stripes stand for our protection and
our service. We ought to be true
Americans when we remember that
we enjoy greater civil and possibly
greater religious liberty than any
other people on the face of Gods

human want and misery as we'll as

The miracle teaches. first Of all,
mans helplessness without the faith
in Christ. Then IL shows that he
must never despair even in the
darkest hour but trust in God who
will surely come TO him, walking
on the water. if necessary" Rev.
Byrer explained

similar occasion teaches us a fur

cluded the speaker. IL shows us the
result of turning aside even for mo-

TO US the warning that we should
not trust too much to our own eff

our superior strength. Jesus came
to show us our weakness and that
our strength is in Him"
