Wake Up Feeling Fine. Best Laxative For Men, Women and
 ChilSror

Enjoy life! Remove the liver and bowel poison which is keeping your head dizzy, your stongue coated, breath offensive, and stomach sour. Don't stay bilious, sick, headachy, con- stlpated and full of cold. Why don't you get a box of Cascarets from the drug store and eat one or two tonight and enjoy the incest, gentlest liver and bowel cleansing you ever experi- enced. You will wake up feeling fit and fine. Cascarets never grippe or slcken like salts, pills and calomel. They act so gently that you hardly realize you have taken a cathartic. Mothers should give cross, sick, bil- ious or feverish children whole Cascaret any time-they act thor oughly and are harmless.-Adv.

CHRISTIANS OUGHT
 TO ASSIST OTHERS
Minister of Christian Church Points Out Obligation Resting Upon Followers of Christ.

A splendid audience greeted Evan selist Jordan and Hoghatt last night at the First Christian church. A rausing song service was led by Prof. Hohgatt, which put the audience into a fine spirit Mor the reception of the sermon preached by Dr. Jordan on the subject, ""The Vail of a Soul"
 pr. Jordan said in part:
 "Church people are not careful enough about considering the value
 of the souls of men. Neither are they enough concerned about the loss of the souls of others. Every Chris tion should have large vision of the power there is in a saved soul. Christ expects all his people to work for the salvation of others.
 "It is the business of parents, teachers, church members, and min- isters to see that the reople who are not Christians are looked after and influenced for Christ To neglect the salvation of men is wrong, because it brings guilt upon the soul of the Christian, for he has disobeyed the law of God. It show. also ingrati- tude to God, who gave His Son for ransom for men,"
 The interest in the meetings is growing and there seem to be splen- did prospects for great meeting. Prof. Hohgatt sang for his solo, Somebody Cares" Prof. Hohgatt is winning the people by his charming personality and his splendid ability as soloist and chorus director. The subject of the sermon tonight will be "The Lost Chord"
