STORY OF NUMBER 40

40 years ago an old doctor was
putting up medicine for diseases of
the blood, that cured the worst cases
of specific blood poison, and time
proved that the cures were perma-
nent. After many years I secured
the prescription Cbeing a druggist),
and took each ingredient separately
and referred to my U. S. DISPENSE
tory and other books on medicine and
found the medical properties set
down as follows: Employed in dis
eases of the glandular system, in
blood poison, scrofula, constipation,
stomach and liver troubles, chronic
rheumatism, catarrh, in sores, ulcers,
skin eruptions, mercurial and lead
poisoning. Under its use. nodes, tu-
mors and scrofulous swellings that
have withstood all other treatment
disappear as if by magic" To COM
memorate my fortieth year as a drug
gist I named this medicine Number

producers have endeavored to over
come any such lack of consistency.
In filming the railroad scenes, five
different engines were used at the L.

scenes were enacted in the railroad
yards, much to the amusement of the
railroad men who virtually knocked
off work when a fight was staged by
Louis Shuttleworth, the hero of the
photoplay, and Oliver Perkins, the
villain, which should satisfy the most
exacting fight fan.

PALMER BY 6-3
IN BIC SUGGEST

With a score of 6 to the boys of
Pensacola high school opened their
baseball season Saturday by defeat
ing in DeFuniak Springs the fast go
ing aggregation representing Palmer
college. The game was fast from
start to finish, being featured
throughout by the unexpected and by
occasional breaks of a decided sensa-
tional nature.
Things started off with a rush in
the first when by a walk, three hits
and a wild pitch Pensacola tailed
three times, while in their half Pal
mer taking advantage of the nervous
ness of the high school pitcher, got
away with two crosses. In the sec
ong, big Dutch" Hartman found him
self and retired his three in order.
From this time on Hartman was the
star of the day, tanning ten men,
fielding a bunt for a double play and
featuring in several of the other put
outs while he allowed but three hits
all told.
Bell, the other end of the battery
stepped into the linelight in the
eighth and ninth by double over the
right field fence, followed by com
plete tour of the bases in the same
place with a man on second.
Coach DeWolf promises the high
school supporters good ball this
spring as he has what he considers
the fastest infeld that has ever rep
resented old P. H. S. and which will
develop into one of the best in the
prep school class in Florida. The
outfeld, while being a little disorgan-
lied as yet has every promise of be-
coming air tight and being equally
as strong as the infeld.
Hunter and Kennedy led the hitting
for the locals, getting 8 sure swats
out of five times up. Fulgihum scored
half of the runs. Huntes annexed
two and Bell showed the other tally
across the plate. The summary:

get them within the gates of Heaven.
paul Diagnosed His Cases"
That's where we've Numbered.
Paul was not prescribing for man
kind in the mass when he gave that
injunction to his jailer. He was pre-
scribing for particular case. for a
man who was an infidel, for one whose
greatest sin was that he denied the
Christ. Do you think that if the
jailer had been a believer but sin
ner in some other way that Paul
would have said what he did to him?
mo, Paul would not, for Paul was
not fool. Paul diagnosed his cases.
If man unknown to Paul had cried
out to him, as did the jailer, What
must I do to be saved Paul would
not have said offhand, Believe He
would have said Come over here and
let's talk it over
"And that's what we must do. To
win for Christ we must study cases.
Listen! Those don't count for Christ
who merely join the church and let
it go at that. That's not enough to
get you salvation. What's the good
of believing if it doesn't show in
your work.. Jails are packed with
those who believe.
They're Spiritual Idiots"
eff the doctor should come to me
and tell me my little girl was dis
eased mentally, and that while she
would not grow up physically as 9TH
ers. she always would have the brain
of a baby-in other words, be an
idiot, I'd pray that she might be
taken and spared that shame and suf-
fering. Well, that's the way it is
with too many Christians. They join
the church, and then they stop grow
ing. They're spiritual idiots.
"Do something. Are there unfor-
given wrongs between you and
Christ? Probably there are some
wrongs and you must go back and
right them and as soon as you do
you'll have spiritual peace. Before
you said cruel words to any friend,

any of the little things which go to

fused to join. Prof. Cole had the

the repeated chorus,
Last Nights Sermon.
The sermon last night was an at.
tack on the belief of some persons
that salvation is possible through
mere belief.
The story of Paul and Silas and the
jailer formed the basis of one of the
strongest sermons which Gypsy Smith
has been heard in during his stay in
Pensacola, last night. 1t was heard
by an audience which packed the
tabernacle for the second time during
the day, and men were placed at the
doors, at every exit, to inform late
corners that there were no seats avail
able. The late corners, however, are
under obligations to Prof. Cole, who
invited about a hundred children from
the front rows to occupy seats on the
choir platform. That left seats va
cant for the scores who happened to
reach there before the preaching
started. The youngsters did not need
a second invitation, for they streamed
to the platform and very soon were
fringed about the different elevations
and formed an inspiring picture. And
they sang, too. Every selection an
nounced by Prof. Cole was taken up
and the lusty-lunged youngsters
could be heard above the hundreds of
voices of the elders.
Gypsy Smith drove home truth
after truth in his forcible manner,
speaking from the text, "What must
do to be saved" after the evangelist
had read the story of the two perse
cuted and the jailer. A "clean city,
clean homes, clean hearts and for
giving spirit" were what he sought.
'The average man you meet" he
said, eff you sound him will say, 'of

is nothing The Jail is full of those
who believe. You must do something
else beside believing. The Bible says
that the Devil believes, and that he

predominant passion, nut be wiped

 Mexican officials have telegraphed the colonel that their troops from Chihuahua are prepared to cooperate with the American forces in trying to exterminate the raiders.

London, Dec. 27.-The Bolsheviki newspapers continue to print revela- tions of an alleged American plot to support General Kaledines according to a. Petrograd despatch to the Morn, ing Post dated Tuesday. So far as Ambassador Francis is concerned, the despatch adds, the whole ridiculous charge falls to the ground before the straight forward statement issued by the Ambassador Tuesday. Colonel Kelpashnikoff never applied to the ambassador for any fund for any pur- pose, although fully empowered to count, he being connected with the American Red Cross. ......t
 Leon Trotzky's charges against Kol- pashnickoff and American represen- tatives in Petrograd, the correspond ent adds. amount to a series of suspic- ions, unsupported by evidence of any kind. The correspondent says the colonel assisted the officials in Hali- fax in examining Trotzky when he and Trotzky were travelling to Rus- sia together and adds:
 'sThe matter thus comes down to the personal element which plays so large a part in what is called in politics in Russia today"
 Colonel Kolpashnikoff, the corres- pondent says, is still in prison and has not been seen by any American of- ficial. k -,
 It is plain, according to the corres- pondent of the Post, that some small bits of friction between the respective American missions to Rumania and Russia, Trotzy found page on which to hang 8 series of baseless charges against the American nation.

German Escapes.

|. Paris, Dec. 2s.-A young German newspaperman, who made his escape from a prison camp in the south of France has been captured after two weeks liberty. He was wearing long cloak like that worn by some of the French religious orders.
 In his hand he carried French prayer book, on the f1yleaf of which he had written in perfect French that he was a priest on a pilgrimage to Lourdes, and that he had vowed to make the journey on foot and with out speaking a word. He then asked that he be, given bread to eat and water to drink, and lodging at night time. The German had shown this soiled prayer book everywhere along his way, and the simple-minded Peas- ants believing him to be priest, had fed and sheltered him without sus- picion.

 Tracing the causes for delay in get ting clothing to the troops, Senator Frelinghuysen declared it was due in part to changes in cloth specifications, resulting from a conflict of authority between the quartermaster general and the council of national defense.
