MISS AMBROSE MADE
HAPPY BY SISTERS
OF EASTERN STAR

AT the regular meeting of the Order
of the Eastern Star last Monday night
little scene not prescribed by the
ritual of the order took place. The
ladies of the lodge had decorated the
hall in a beautiful manner, fixed up
the banquet table in fine style, and
brought with them many presents as
surprise for one of their members
who is about to embark upon the deep
sea Of matrimony Miss Hazel Am
brose, who is soon to be married to
Tom Dowd of the Nevada Douglas
Consolidated Copper Company, was
the recipient of the honors and the
presents. There were many OF the
latter, and the majority of them took
the form of useful household articles
This is the second shower the friends
of the young lady have poured upon
her and she is now almost fitted for
her housekeeping with the presents
she has received. Many of the pretty
things at last Mondays shower were
glassware. The table had, among its
decorations, large cake, all orna'
mented with little cupids and sim
liar appropriate designs. The favors
were crocheted napkin rings, made by
the mother of the bride-to-be.
William Larue, who recently made
the venture into the matrimonial land
Of Perhaps, was also treated to sur
prise and a present. The gift was q
silver cream ladle.

COUNTY HOSPITAL
MUST BE MOVED

Before the new county high schoo
cen be occupied it will be necessary
to make new arrangements for the
care of the INDECENT sick of the county
II would be Ill advised TO attempt tc
maintain the present hospital which
stands in close proximity to the new
high school buildings, even for a short
time. II would more or less subject
students to dangers of a very grave
nature.
II is a well known fact that some
of the inmates of the county hospital
are afflicted with diseases of a most
loathsome nature, and that these dis
eases are highly Infectious. AS long
them have been caught. some sent to
remotest degree, the new high school
and dormitory should not be opened

of county commissioners the matter
OF bonding the county for the pur.
chase of a suitable site and the build.
ing of a new hospital will probably be
taken up. 1t will be necessary TO call
an election on the matter. 1t is esti.
mated that it will take at least $780,,
900 for the purpose. There is little
doubt that the question will carry at
an election. as the present hospital
building has been repeatedly condemn
ed by grand juries as both dangerous
and inadequate.

GRAVITY 1T NOT A

The popular opinion that specific

In commenting on this statement,

pany said: The reason gravity is
misleading as a test for gasallne is
plain enough when you understand
that boiling points alone determine
real motor fuel efficiency. Gravity
tells nothing at all about boiling points
and their proper range and continuity.
ITO be 100 per cent efficient, gaso.

ing series.

Kidney e Co.
(pY DIR. J. II. wArsoN)

The kidneys and the skin work in har-
mony. They're companions, the skin
being the second partner. If we are
anxious to keep well and preserve the
vitality Of the kidneys and, also, free the
blood from noxious clements, we must
pay special attention to good action of
the skin and to see that the kidneys are
flushed 70 as to eliminate the poisons
from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in u bath,
at least once week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush
the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure
water with meals and between meals.
Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug
store Anuric, which will help flush the
kidneys and the intestines. You will find
that Anurlc is many times more active
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot wafer docs sugar.

murders committed in the United

10000 homes were disrupted thru the
sin of adultery or desertion to say

more priceless than life itself. In
1870 there was one divorce to every

tics showed one divorce to every ~

Of "a years if this ratio continues
when there shall be one divorce for
every marriage. In q period of 20
years, carefully gathered statistics
showed that in England, France and
Germany there were 25s,332 homes
divided by divorce, but in the United
States there were 328,716 in the same

along the same road that already has
been strewn with the wrecks of ma
tions thru the centuries. God help
the men of America, seeing the

strength of the christian faith and
stay the awful flood of iniquity that
is sweeping over the nation.

men of America today are the sins of

TABERNACLE DOINGS.

Thirty-four new converts were ad-
ded to the lists at the tabernacle
meetings yesterday, making ITO to
date. The crowds were well enter
tanned. Perhaps the best address of
the day was that by the evangelist
to men, in the afternoon.
He said in part: Every generation
of American men has had It's own pc
culiar problem. The first genera
tion was called upon to conquer the
wilderness and the Indians The next
generation fought the war to deter
mine whether the French or the Eng
llsh should control the western con-
tncnt. The third generation of our
fathers fought battles that laid the
foundation of the first great repub-
lie upon earth. Following the revolu-
ton, the next generation of American
men were called upon to open the
great Mississippi valley that was
henceforth to be the center of the
great American commonwealth. Fol-
lowing the opening Of this great gar
den spot of the world, my father and
yours fought the great Civil war to
determine whether or not nation
should stand united. Tn, next gen
Grafton of American men look,j to
the mighty northwest and there carv-
ed out new empire and I'D led it to
the cluster of states. But jit re-
nains for the men of this day and
this generation to meet the great
est problem that has ever confront
ed our people; we are called upon
TO bring about the moral and spirit
ual regeneration of the nation.
"This is no idle statement. Our
nat'on shall either rise to .ighcr
moral plain than has ever D.er known
IN the republics life or else the pro-
rhetic as well as true statement of
the Scriptures will be fulfilled, BE
SIRE your sins will fiad you OUT
and THE wages of sin is death The
biggest question that confronts the
men of America today is not the tar
iff, not the race problem, nor not
even the great world war. Why, my
friends we need not fear for our
country's safety today from any out
side foe. Should Germany crush
France, should she succeed in starv-
ing England, overrun Russia and
throw Italy into the sea, still, my
friends, there is the virility and fight
ing power in this great free nation
to conquer that arrogant autocracy of
Germany and to hurl Kaiser Bill and
his heartless government into hell
where they belong! (Applause)
No the danger is not our foreign
foes, it is that inner foe we cali sin
Rome fell not from foreign foes but
from the disintegratory influence Of
corruption within. Let w be warn
ed.
II am not a pessimist, but we can
not close our eyes to the fact of the
