HOW THIS LITTLE BOY
Recovered Strength After Sickness.


Garrett, Texas.-"The. measles
left my little boy aged nine years
in a very weak, run down condi-
tion-he coughed a good deal, and
as medicines did not seem TO help
him, we finally took him out of
school. and thought he would never
be strong again. One day l read
about the cod liver and iron known
as Vinol, and such a change as it
has made in my little boy-it
stopped his cough, he is now back
in school, strong and well."-Mxs

There is nothing like Vinol to re-
store strength, appetite and vim to
pale, sickly children We strongly
recommend Vinol for this purpose.

Union Meeting at Stevens Greek
Church.

The union meeting of the first di.
vision of the Edgefeld association
whicin was held at Stevens Greek
church Saturday and Sunday was
very we'll attended, especially on
Sunday. Mr.. NJ. B. Hamilton was
reelected moderator and Mr.. John
Witt was reelected clerk. Both of
these gentlemen make very capable
officers.
The verbal reports from all of
the churches which were made Sat-
urday morning were very encourag-
ing. Practically all of the churches
reported good Sunday schools and
most of them have prayer services
at stated times. The support which
these two phases of church actlv'
ities receive can generally be taken
as an index into the spiritual life Of
the church.
All Of the queries arranged and
published were discussed Saturday,
the discussions being participated
in by Rev. G. G. Wells, Rev. Il.
b. White, Mr.. ]. X. Allen, Mr..
Orlando Sheppard, Mr.. A. 5. Tomp'
kins and Mr.. J. l.. Minis.
The sermon Sunday morning was
preached by Rev. G. &. Wells,
which was followed By a collection
for home and foreign missions. In
the absence of the speakers for Sun
day afternoon, Mr.. q. l.. Toole and
Mr.. J. L. Minis were requested tc
address the congregation.
The good people of Stevens
Creek, in keeping with their long
established reputation for dispensing
lavish hospitality, served bounti
ful dinner at the church Saturday
and Sunday, everyone present be
ing invited TO partake of the feast
The 1918 union meeting at Steven:

has made hundreds of people be-
lieve more firmly in an undying:
cause.
During this week of song Wash
ington's birthday came, and there
could not have been more appro-
pirate time. The President of Co.
ker College, DR.. E. w. Skies, made
an instructive talk on Washington,
showing how this man was, first
IN war, first in peace and first in the
hearts OF his countrymen.
This was community night when
the audience sang folk songs, pa
trlotic songs and hymns.
This national week of song gave
the nation what it had been waiting
for and Hartsyille what it had been
waiting for, chance to sing, be-
cause their native land had never
seemed so dear before, and they
sang so that people far of might
have said: Il hear America sing
ing"
This song festival at Hartsville
was success through the genius of
it's director, MIR. 'Tolman, and its
success was proved by the large au-
diences that liked the programs well
enough to come again and again.
1t was success too because the
audience was singing for succeed
ing cause. This song festival had
Hartsville as law unto itself not
too formal and very attractlvelS
carried out in every particular.
The climax to this last meeting
was beautiful in the extreme when
the whole audience marched out
and stood on the lawn in front of
the large administration building of
the college. This Greek building
silhouetted against the clear night
sky was a fitting back ground, and
the starry heavens fitting canopy
for this group who sang America"
truly from their hearts. And this
even as 1 write my pen must stop,
my thoughts and the memory OF
the songs and the JOY of America
singing, go endlessly on and on.

IDEAL SITE FOR REST CURE
City Of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, in Bo-
Iivia, Practically Place Of
Absolute Silence.

"The only tropical city Of Bolivia, 1t
stands some 1900 feet above sea level
so far from the outside world Chat mail
deposited on January Z reached New
York on March II. OF the 10000 in
habitants Of Santa Cruz de la Sierra
1900 are female" Harry A. Franck
writes in the Century.
1T Is a city of silence. Spreading
over a dead flat. half sandy, jungled
plain, its right angled streets are deep
In reddish sand in which not only its
shod feet, by no means in the major
ity, though the upper class is almost
fOppish in dress, but even the solid
wooden wheels of its clumsy OK carts
make not a sound. There is no mod
ern industry to lend it's strident voice.
though the town boasts three steam
establishments for the making of ice,
the grinding Of maize and the saving
of lumber, and every street fades away
at either end into the whispering jun
gle. Narrow sidewalks of porous red
bricks, rooted by the wide overhanging
caves Of the houses, often upheld by
pillars or poles, line most of the
streets. But these are by no means
continuous, and being commonly high
above the street level and often taken
up entirely. especially Of an evening.
by the families, who consider this their
veranda rather than the pedestrians
right Of way, the latter generally finds
it easier to plod through the sand Of
the street ITSELF"

TRACING EVOLUTION OF BAR
Ia Old Rome 1t Had Its Origin in Re-
lations Existing Between
Patron and Client.

The Roman bar, writes S. p. Scott In
from the intimate association of pa
tron and client in the days Of the re-
public. This relation, founded upon
mutual support and assistance, bore u
considerable resemblance to that of
lord and vassal during the middle ages
without, however. including the op-
preSsive restrictions imposed upon the
latter by the laws Of feudalism. Among
the many duties required of the patron
was that Of transacting the legal busi-
them in court. This service was at
first entirely gratuitOus, but shbsp-
quently, when the ties of hereditary
connection became less bindin", and
consultation with patrons was aban-
dOned by their clients for the advice
of jurists possessed Of greater legal
erudition, voluntary fee. called an
hOnOrarium, was expected. The amount
of this was established by custom, and,
in the course Of time, when excessive
gifts Of this kind We're virtually de-
manded, all fees were regulated by
statute.
After law had developed into a SCI
ence the profession became recognized
as a distinct calling and legal proce-
dure having been systematically organ
ized, representation Of parties in court
was successfully effected by three
classes of persons-procurators. cogni-
tors and advocates.
