By JULIA JUDSON
Continued from last issue.
In the Reinstatement of this
article there was presented only
a general view Of this great i'm
age, so impressive in its form
and brightness. l wish now TO
call tho readers most serious
and deliberate attention to- more
particular examination of its
parts; of which the following is
the description, as given by the
prophet:
First, It's head was of fine gold
Second, Its breast and arms
of silver.
Third, It's belly and thighs of
brass.
Fourth, Its legs of iron aud its
feet part Of iron and part OF clay
1t is well known that the name
of different metals, as gold, sill
yer, brass, iron, etc, is used in
theScripture in relation to earth
lily governments, to denote diff
ferent degrees of political
strength, excellence, durability,
etc, and it is also well known
that the words dust, earth, clay,
etc. as used in the Scripture,
signify sparseness, weakness,
division, instability, etc. From
the prophets explanation of this
Image, it is considered by Bible
students of high responsibility,
to be a representation of as many
political governments as there
were metals composing it,and as
these were successfully inferior
to each other, so the govern
ments represented by them, were
to be in a descending ratio, and
, this was literally true. Each
; succeeding monarchy in it's con
fusion through conquest, absorb
led discordant elements, that ev.
Ter hindered its sovereignty in

, conduct of its public affairs a
system that would be equal to
that which had been established

What Has Your Red Cross Money Done?


IN the first place, it has enabled the American people,
through the Red Cross, to help care for its army
and navy.
Secondly. it has enabled America to hearten her
Allies fighting forces and to keep up, among the civil
ian populations, the spirit to win the war: That, alone,
has made the American Red Cross one OF the largest
factors since our entry into the war.
Canteens which provided food and hot drinks
more than a million meals to soldiers in December;
warehouses, crammed with materials, situated all along
the French line, all along the Italian lines, at seaports
and at places where our soldiers are going to fight;
institutions for the care Of consumptives, institutions
for the re-education of manned men-these are a few
of the concrete accomplishments abroad.
At home-the millions of wooden sweaters, NUT
Aers, socks and other comforts for the men in camps;
the work of sanitation around environments and the
help and advice given dependents of soldiers and sailors
these are things which will make you, your children
and your chldren's children, in whatever part OF the
world they may be, proud Of being Americans
VIII you do your share to- keep this Hand OF
Mercy at it's work?

Had Been THROUGH Hell.

Louis Raemaekers, the famous
Dutch cartoonist, now in this coun.
try, whom the London Times has
called ''the only great genius brought
out by the war;" was unheard of be.
fore the war began. On August l.
1914, he was living quietly with his
family, contentedly painting the tulip
fields, waterways, cattle and windmills
of his native Holland. -Four days later
he drew the first cartoon, "Christen.
dom After Twenty Centuries" of a
series that was to reveal him as a
champion of civilization and make his
name a household word in every coun-
try. Raemaekers personally investi.
gated the Belgian horror, and though
hundred Of his early cartoons bear
witness to the burning impression
made upon his mind, he has only once
brought himself to speak publicly of
this experience. It was at a dinner
given the artist at the Savage club,
London, and, pointing to the portraits
of Peary, Shot, Nansen and Shackle-
ton, Raemaekers said: Il, too, have
been an explorer, gentlemen. I have
explored a hell, and it was terror I'M
speakable." Raemaekers is in his for.
ty-eighth year.

Coal Shortage Imminent.

In consequence of the enormous
quantity Of coal which the government
finds necessary to carry on the war
and the shortage of men in the mines,
the fact stares us in the face that a
shortage of both anthracite and BIZ
luminous fuel will prevail next winter.
Hence the federal fuel administrator
for Minnesota urges everyone to do his
part toward helping the government
by preparing for this coal shortage.
This can be done by putting in a sup
ply of wood winter. One cord at
least, says the administrator, should
be put in for every member of the
family.
People who fail to take heed of this
warning are liable to encounter seri-
Gus conditions when another winter
rolls round.
Farmers are asked to assist in re-
lieving the situation by cutting wood
now for their own use and also as
much as possible for sale to the peo-
pie of the cities.
Take time by the forelock and also
manifest your patriotism by putting in
your winters supply Of wood.

Brest.Litovsk in History,

Brest-Litovsk, or, to give it it's Pol
lsh name, Brzesc-Litevski, is coming
once more into fame as the place Of
conference Of the Germans with the
Bolsheviki. The name Brest means
"the elm city," In military sense,
this city on the Russian frontiers of
the old Polish kingdom, has undergone
all kinds of vicissitudes. In 1241 it
was laid waste by the Mongols, and
was partially burned, more than hun
dred years later, by the Teutonic
knights. Another century saw it en-
tirely destroyed by the khan of the
Crimea. The Swedes have captured it,
and the Poles been defeated in the
neighborhood by the Russians, who
held it until the last great drive of the
Germans forced them to retreat along
an immense front. Napoleon, in his
disastrous retreat fir. m Moscow, must
have had bitter memories of the city,
into which the pursuing Russians
drove one Of his demoralized armies
under SchwarZenberg.

Soldiers to Be Well SUPPLIED.

The greatest department store in the
world, to supply every need of the
American soldiers, is springing up in
France. The survey for the mammoth
intermediate depot, as it is known in
army circles, was made in August. The
first railroad track was laid in Septem-
Der and now the site has the appear
ance of a railroad yard in seacoast
town. The store, which will be six
miles long and two miles wide, in re-
ality a series of buildings, will have a
daily capacity of $4,000 tons, which is
not an excessive amount when it is
considered that every man at the front
in army service requires 200 pounds of
supplies of all kinds, including food,
clothing, ammunition, medical and en-
cheering equipment, each day. AS the
American force grows the store will be
extended and enlarged Capper's

Development in Mining in Malay.


Mining engineers, who have recently
Visited the southern Siamese Malay
states, have come to the conclusion
that one of the richest mineral areas
in the world is to be found here. In
addition to wolfram, rich deposits of
F, tin alluvium are found in the valleys
and gullies Of all the hills in which
wolfram has been located. In most
of the hills the number of wolfram
lodes already located exceeds ten, and
in all of them tin has also been found.
Plenty of water with sufficient head
is said to be available for washing
out the tin in the rainy season, and
there are possibilities for storing wa
ter in reservoirs for the dry season.
There is a waterfall close by with
sufficient head to develop electric pow
er for working large number of
mines. In northern Siam mining areas
adjoining the new railway extension
have been opened, and. here anthony
and lead are the mineral worked for,
the lead being mixed with zinc and
containing some silver.-Commercial

Weekly War Story.

From one of the training camps full
Of Ohio soldiers comes this absolutely
veraciOus story:
The company cook went to the COM
handing officer and respectfully asked
when the soldiers were to be supplied
with gas masks The officer answered
that he did not know. A week later,
the cook again expressed his desire for
a gas mask. This time, the officer hap
pened to have a sample of the latest
cOntrivance of this nature, which will
probably be used by our soldiers in the
trenches. He showed it to the cook,
who Immediately asked to borrow it.
Inquiry revealed that the cooks idea
was to put the mask on before he
tackled big job Of peeling onions.

Dancing and Music.

Dancing and gesture originated music
al rhythm. The earliest form of music
would be sort of monotone such as
one may hear among uncivilized races
Of today, and this sometimes is accom-
panied by the beating of time on some
instruments, and the gestures Of the
dancers, which gradually evolved into
regular recurring beats, so that all the
performers might act in concert. The
evolution Of the song and dance went
on at the same time and the process in
the development of modern music has
a similar history

An AIienby Myth.

A strange tale is in circulation a,
:lubs where men from the East fore
gather, says "A Club Member" in the
London Standard. It is said that,
apart from General Allenbys unques-
toned success, his name has had re-
markable effect on the Turks For Al
lenby is by them interpreted as Allah
Nabi, which means the man from
Allah, or the emissary of Allah. There
fore his triumph has been accepted as
a direct divine tnterposition. This was
a stroke of luck which never entered
the minds Of the war authorities when
they wisely gave him his command.
