WILD WEST SHOW WILL

The Buffalo Bill Wild West show and

that this city has not seen genuine

MISSIONARY MEETING

Last Wednesday afternoon special
meeting of the Women's Foreign
Missionary society of the First Metho-
dist church was held in the church
parlors. 1t was an unusually interest
ing meeting and one that will be re-
membered for long time by the
members and friends who attended
Miss Cora Simpson, medical mission
airy, who is in this country on a years
furlough, was present and addressed
the missionary workers on her work
in the mission fields. She was intro
duced by Mrs. Frank Barden. Miss
Simpson has been stationed at
FoochoW, China, as superintendent
of the Florence Nightingale Nurses
school, connected with the Magaw
Memorial hospital. She has also been
connected with the Foochow Leper
Workers association. Miss Simpson
took as her subject, "Women as They
Are in the Orient" Her address in
cluded the existing conditions in the
homes of these people, laying special
emphasis on the place of the woman
in the home the. buying and selling
of the girl babies and children into
the homes of their future husbands
the Child marriages; the foot binding
practice, etc. She told great deal
of the work in the Nurses Training
school and the Magaw hospital. About
$4,000 cases were reported by Miss
Simpson as having been cared for in
the hospital in about one year, and
the small sum of one dollar cares for
a Chinese patient in the hospital from
ten to twelve days. She also related
some OF her experiences with the
lepers and what christianity is doing
for these people. Miss Simpson was
attired lii Chinese costume during the
afternoon, and her display of pictures
of the people of that country, the
hospital, the nurses school, doctors,
nurses, medical workers, ETC., added
much to the afternoon. In this dis
play special mention should be made
of the small pair of Chinese shoes, the
soles measuring less than two inches
in length, which had been worn by a |
Chinese woman siXty-fve years of
age, which illustrates the cruelty
of the binding of the feet, al
custom which is being rene
died by christianity getting hold on
the people. Miss Simpson, during
her furlough, is acting as field secre-
tary for the Northwestern Methodist
Missionary branch. She departed
Thursday for Grand Rapids, and from
that place goes on to Chicago and to
Indianapolis Sunday. An offering
was taken up at the meeting and
turned over to the Nurses Training
school and Magaw hospital, which she
represents. Miss Simpson was guest
in the c. S. Gilbert home during her
stay here.
During the afternoon Mrs. Richard
Evans read an interesting letter from
Sundra Bedi lam, a native Indian girl |
that the local missionary society is |
educating in Badaon, India. The
musical selections included duet,
my Task" rendered by Mrs. S. H.
Meadows and Mrs. Frank Barden, and
solo, "Come Unto Him." by Mrs. H.

a CCORDING to the Commissioner of IN
terna1 Revenue, u. S. Treasury Department,
the'above figure represents the SUM of money
paid in cash to the United States Government in II
internal revenue receipts from 1862 to 1916, in
clusive by the manufacturers of malt and distilled
liquors.
It is an uncompTenendable sum. It is beyond
the grasp of the human mind.
But every penny paid in advance of the
sale of the manufactured goods and the revenue
went toward the support of the various depart
ments of the Federal Government.
Surely no person can deny that this industry
has paid literally in dividends to its govern
mental partner.
But large as this sum is, it is small compared
with the amount that all branches of the industry
have paid during these same years in local and
State license fees.
1t is impossible to secure the exact figures Of
this is the case with the u. S. revenue
receipts, but authorities estimate that the amount
is double and perhaps three times as great.
It yields to each licensing community large
part of its total revenues and if the sum could be
ascertained it would be staggering.
In addition to these, the local and state
taxes. Brewing, distil1ing plants and property
used in the retail sale Of the products are all
assessed high, and much Of this value, and con-
sequently much of the tax accruag, would be
lost in case Of the destruction of the industry.

Safe Medicine for Children

Is it safe?" is the first question to
be considered when buying cough med
icine for children. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has long been a favorite with
mothers of young children as it con-
tains no opium or other narcotic, and
may be given to child as confidently
as to an adult. 1t is pleasant to take,
too, which is of great importance when
a medicine must be given to young
children. This remedy is most effect
