by his personal character he COM

the several states. Understanding
railroad business in all its aspects, he
was equally at home with fnanciers

this many sided ability, burdens of all

PEPsIN HUx IRON and
sarsapariIIa-Flne Course Of Medicine

Physicians and pharmacists have
long known the desirability and diff.
ficulty of combining iron-a superla.
tive tonic-in ood-purifying med
icine.
The combination OF the iron with
Hoods Sarsaparilla has now been Sc
cured through the happy thought OF
prescribing Peptiron Pills in connec-
tion with the Sarsaparilla--the latter
before eating, Peptiron Pills after.
In this way the two medicines work
tremendously, giving four-fold results
in blood-cleansing and up-building.
Peptiron Pills include pepsin and
iron.-note the name, Peptiron Pills,
--nux vomica, manganese, other
tonics, digestive and laxatives.
What better course of medicine can
you imagine for this season? You
get blood-purifying, appetite giving,

Pocket Testament League Has Been
Organized and Every Community
May Have Part In This
Work

There is being inaugurated in
America. since the passing OF the
CONSUMPTION bill, The Pocket Tesla
ment league. The league originated
in England shortly after war was de-
clared by them and in a single year
enrolled $4,000 and in all has en-
rolled 25e09e British soldiers. The
name implies the nature of the organi-
zation which has for an object to pro-
vide pocket testaments to the soldiers
in the army and navy and everyone
who accepts testament does so with
the promise that he will carry 1t
wherever he goes and that he will
read a. chapter in 1t every day.
The league was founded by Miss
Helen Cadbury Of Birmingham, Eng
land, who is now Mrs. Charles M. Al
exander, the wife of the noted gospel
singer. DR.. J. Wilbur Chapman did
much to make the league world wide.
The plan is that In every commun-
ity where a company is stationed or
in which soldiers enlist, league
shall be formed and every soldier go
ing to the front or to a training camp
shall be given g. pocket testament.
