Paris, April 1.-The bombardment
Of Paris by long-range German guns
was resumed at ,. 10 p. m. Yesterday
The German iong-range cannon con-
tnued during the day 10 lombard the
Paris district. One person was killed
and one injured.
At the services yesterday morning the
churches were even more crowded than
is usual on Easter SUNDAY
No unexploded shell has thus far been
found However, there have been ex-
amined ia the municipal laboratory
fragments of sufficient size to permit the
directors to reach certain conclusions.
They are of the opinion that a double
fuse is used, and that the guns fire 2l0-
millimeter (Sl4-Inchl shells.
Apparently four guns are being used,
two on each alternate day. The tubes
of the guns, which are rifle guns, are
more than 80 feet long The installa-
ton aud adjustment of the guns must
require at least three months. Doubtless
they are concealed under mountains
of cement, rendering it most difficult to
locate and destroy them.

$1,000 FOR A TEXT

Expressing strong desire to be
fair to all concerned, Evangelist
Ora Lee Ice lectured Saturday eve
ming on the subject "The Sabbath"
(which day should we keep and
Why?" While most of the christian
world observes Sunday, yet there are
a few who observe the seventh day
of the week. Mr.. Ice showed that
Gods Holy Law commanded the OBJ
servance of the Seventh day of the
week. God had commanded from the
dawn Of creation week and had never
changed it. Christ came to die for
our sin, but sin is the transgression
of Gods Law. Jno. ga. Therefore
Christ came to die because you and
l broke Gods law. The law is as
sure as Gods Throne and is perfect,
but if it was changed it would then
become imperfect.
Christ kept the Sabbath Luke 4:16
and if we are to be Christians or
Christian-like, we must walk in His
steps. 1 Peter 2:21. Therefore we
must keep the Sabbath. The question
then arose, GLOW is it that all the
prophecies of Dan 7.25 and II Thess
2:7-9 showed that a power would
arise which would seek to change
Gods law, and reading from history
be revealed how that change was
affected. Not secretly, or in cor
ner, but outwardly and openly, and
that same power now offers $1,000
for a single text for Sunday obser-
vance. No collection has been taken
up and the people appreciate this.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says = little salts in water may save
you from dread attack.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-know authority.
We are advised to dress warmly: keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty Of good water.
rheumatism is direct result of eat
ing too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. II is the
function Of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin ere
also a means of freeing the blood OF
this fmpurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidney to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail TO eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness, soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge OF rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces Of Jad Salts: put tablespoon
full In a glass OF water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action. thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands OF folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent Whitewater drink
which helps overcome uric acid and is
beneficial to your kidneys, as we'll

learn that Napoleon then first con-
sui, commissioned Fontanes to write
the funeral Grafton on Washington,
which was delivered in the church of
the invalides, called then the Temple
of Mars. This eloquent discourse es-
tablished the reputation of Fontanes
as an orator, as his correct and in
genious translation of Pope's Essay
on Man." had established him as
poet by the side of Delille.
After picturing the peaceful life of

first to this mournful cry which ought
to resound in every noble nature.
These august vaults have been
worthily chosen for the apotheosis of
a hero. The shade of Washington in
descending upon this majestic dome.
will find within those of Turenne. of
Catinat, and Of the great Condo, who
still love to dwell here. If these il
lustrious worriors have not served the
same cause during their life, the same
renown reunits them when they are
no more. The opinions, subject to the
caprices of the people and the times.
the opinions, themselves feeble and
changing with our nature, disappear
with us in the tomb; but the glory and
the virtue remain eternally. 1t is by
that means that the great men of all
times and Of all places become, in
some sort. fellow countrymen and
contemporaries. They form only
single family, of which the examples
are transmitted and renewed from
successor to successor. Thus. in this
warlike place, the valor of Washing
ton merits the attention of Condo:
his moderation claims the notice of
Turenne; his philosophy is to be COM
pared with that of Catinat."
In concentrating Washington's

Of those eulogies regarding him with
which our old time literature abounds.
Among them we read again that mas
terpiece by John Mitchell Mason on
the death of Washington. This dis
course was delivered by the great pull
pit orator in 1900. 1t contains one es-
pecial passage which should be re-
membered by every American, for it
is singularly applicable to the present
hour. Let us take down this old ora
ton, where, to paraphrase Cicero, it
lies on the shelf like a sword in its
scabbard, and read anew in that pass
age, these burning words of patriot
ism and of solemn warning:
americans! This God, who raised
up Washington and gave you liberty,
exacts from you the duty of cherish
ing it with a zeal according to knowl-
edge. Never sully, by apathy or by
outrage, your fair inheritance. Risk
not, for one moment, on visionary
theories, the solid blessings of your
lot. To you, particularly, o youth of
America! applies the solemn charge
In all the perils of your country re-

reason and of right has been handed

sword. Guard with generation the
