had years Of experience In that line
and she IL rated as the worlds ex-
pert in reaching youth through the
Bible message. The youngsters just
naturally drift toward Miss Gam
lin. She makes the Bible lessons so
attractive and the matter OF person
al salvation so clear and so indis-
putable, that the boys and girls get
virtually a new insight into Chris
tianity.

among the boys and girls. And when
a boy or girl at one of Miss Gamlin's
meetings hits the trail' they know
since Miss Gamlin makes 1t a point
always to make clear just what the
"open confession OF Christ" means.

Gamlin says. land it's real happiness
for me to aid them"
They Love Her, Too.
And the youngsters love Miss Gam
lin. too. Frequently when she holds
one Of her meetings the boys and
girls march in a body from the par
tiCuiar schools where they are located
to the meetiug-place. There is al
ways rivalry among the students as
TO what school shall have the largest
turnout at Miss Gamlin's meetings.

with which the boys and girls look
forward to the gatherings to be ad-

HOW TO GET RELIEF
FROM CATARRH

! If you have catarrh, catarrh-
al deafness, or head noises 60
to your druggist and get 1 OF.
of Parmint double strength),
take this home, add to it IA
pint OF hot water and 4 ozs. of
granulated sugar. Take l ta-
blespoonful times a day.
This will often bring quick
relief from the distressing
head noises. Clogged nostrils
should open, breathing become
easy and the mucus stop Drop
ping into the throat
1t is easy to make, tastes
pleasant and costs little. Every
one who has catarrh should give
this treatment a trial. You will
probably find 1t is just what
you need.

BEANS MUST BE BEANS.
Decision Against Restaurant Which
Adulterated Beans With a Rock.

Upon the shoulders of the supreme
court of the Commonwealth of Massa
chusetts was lately laid a momentous
burden. 1t came about in this way: A
certain woman went into a Boston res
taurant and asked, as is the custom, for
Boston's sacred food. But she later
brought against that food provider the
charge that, whereas she had asked for
beans, they had given her stone That
is, false and perilous pebble, disguised
as bean, had secreted itself among the
priceless legumes. Biting upon it with
that trusting eagerness with which Bos-
tonians approach beans, she wrecked up.
on its resisting rock two good teeth, one
natural, the other artificial. So she die
appeal to the courts to award her recon-
pense for so rude and disastrous be
trayal of confidence, and in the course
of time the matter came before the high
est court of the state.
Now, had the report been unanimous
perhaps this case might have been los
to sight in a mass of matter of cours
decisions. The lower courts did, in fact
award the plaintiff damages of $3.50. |
seems to have been agreed without hest
tation that to adulterate beans wit
stones was serious thing, even thong
the adulteration was involuntary. Thu
