Long will the memory Of the
Mardi Gras ball remain in our minds.
1t was a close second to the won
derful Beaux Arts ball given here
several seasons ago. There never
has been such a ball as. the Beaux
Arts given here since and I doubt
IL ever before. That was perfect
was a real carnival with everyone
in true carnival spirit: all in fancy
dress and not a soul but had the
time of their lives. But then one
must make some allowance for the
fact that champagne flowed like
water that night while Tuesday
evening the most thrilling beverage
was milk. II does make a difference,
you know.

Land of Contradictions.
In a gripping and graphic style
which were his admirable char
acteristics, the speaker narrated
some of his experiences with the
inhabitants and why he loved them
and their country. Africa itself is
interesting, he said, because II Is
land of contradictions and ex-
tremes. 1t contains great deserts
and great swamps, high CIVILIZATION
and low barbarism, the tallest and
the smallest people and has the
most healthful and most deadly OF
the climates of the world
'The people themselves, SAID
DR.. Kumm, ARE not by nature bar
barous but are the most kind heart
ed and present the most pleasing
field for missionary work
Dr Kumm, who is secretary or
the United Sudan missions, is lee

mission board of the Augustana
synod He has been instrumental in
influencing the synod to take up
mission work in the Sudan and
northern Africa and has given per-
sonal aid to Rev. Ralph Holt, the
young preacher who has been
chosen for the work.

X. Kumm Says

Africa is the continent of the
future and bids fair to play the
greatest role of any continent in
the development OF the world dur
ing the coming generations" was
the message given by DR.. H. K. W.
Kumm, noted African missionary
and authority at Augustana college
chapel last night. The rugged re-
ligious frontiersman of the dark
continent" contended that the hith-
erto little explored and talked of
continent was slowly waking from
her stupor of centuries and would
become a great factor in the re-
ligious and economic world.
DR.. Kumm was introduced by DR..
G. A. Brandelle, president of Aug
uStana synod, as the successor of
Stanley and Livingston, the familiar
African explorers, not in blood but
in labor and achievement as all three
of these men have been instrument
al in opening up of the continent
and the creation of interest in its
advancement
africa is destined to become one
of the greatest economic factors in
said the missionary, africa con-
tains more tropical regions than
any other continent and economists
tell US that the future food supply
of the world must come from the
tropics" He continued by taking up
in detail the great natural re-
sources of the continent, the cost
ly minerals, oils, leather gums,
ivory, precious woods and en-
pnasized in particular the import
ance of Africa as mineral supply.
Forty per cent of the whole gold
output, he said, and almost all the
diamond output of the world Games
from the land of the blacks. In
proving the future economic i'm
portance of the country he laid en-
phasis upon its size, which he said

said, together with Australia,

SUFFERED FOR
"A LONG YEARS
In Good Health As Ever in Her Life
Since Taking Tanlac-
Gains IA Pounds.

You may not believe me when
change the good health l have since
mine in the world, but it is true
just the same" said Mrs. George
Blair who lives on route No. 5,
Peoria, while talking to Tanlac
representative the other day.
About fourteen years ago."
she continued, my health broke
down all at once, and when think
of all the suffering I have gone
through with since that time, I
really wonder that 1 am alive to-
day During all that time 1 never
knew what it was to eat a meal
without suffering terribly with in
digestion afterwards My stomach
was in such bad condition that
even just a few bites of any kind
of food would sour and cause gas
to form. l couldn't eat enough to
hold my strength, and l just grad
ually went down hill until l was
so thin and weak that l was hardly
able to get about at all. Then, too,
my kidneys bothered me a great
deal, and I simply can't describe
the awful pains l had in the small
of my back, and when l would sit
down or lie down it was very
difficult for me to get up again.
My nerves were in such bad condi-
ton that the least little noise
would startIe me and give me a
nervous headache which would
often put me in bed for a whole
day.
When I began taking Tanlac
my health was just about as poor as
it could be, but l am thankful to say
that everything is quite different
with me now. Why. by the time
had finished my first bottle of Tan
lac I felt better than 1 had for
years, and 1 kept on improving I'M
til had gotten rid of everyone of
my troubles. The good that Tan
lac has done me is almost unbe-
lievable, but it is really true that
1 am in as good health now as 1
ever was in my life. All that stom-
ach trouble is a thing of the past, |
and it is just grand to be free of
those awful pains in my back. II
never had such an appetite, and
everything l eat agrees with me
perfectly, and l have actually
gained Il pounds in weight. 1 just
feel fine all the time and my nerves
are in such perfect condition that
1 sleep well every night. 1 hon
estly believe that there are many
nights l sleep so sound that don't |
even turn over in bed and 1 feel SO
rested and refreshed when l get
I'D every morning We are great
believers in Tanlac at our house, |
and never lose an opportunity to |
speak a good word for it."

BETTER SERVICE
TO FIGHT FIRES
Rock Island Arsenal Department to
Excel All Others i'm Nearby
Municipalities.
INSTALLING SPECIAL MAINS
High Pressure to be Pumped In
mediately Through Pipes When
Alarms Are Turned in.

Completion of a perfected water
pumping system at Rock Island ar
senal by April l will equip the is
land with better fire protection than
Rock Island, Moline or Davenport
have, in comparison with the ter
ritory covered by the various tri-
city companies, according to Col
Onel Harry B. Jordan, command
ant.
The sounding of an alarm after
the new pumping system is finished
will not only bring the arsenal fire
department 70 the scene of the
blaze, but will cause the immediate
operation of special pumps which
will force raw water through the
new mains at a pressure of lis
pounds. The special pumps will be
used only in case of fire.
Mains for carrying the water to
be utilized by the arsenal fire fight
ers will have been laid in such a
maner as to reach every structure
on the island. Plugs where hose
may be attached will be placed in
such manner as TO allow the fire
men to extend their lines within a
convenient distance of any fire that
may occur.
Il can send in an alarm from any
point on the island" Colonel JOr-
dan told newspaper men yesterday,
land the arsenal fire department
will arrive within a minute and
a half at the farthest point. We will
have a more adequate fire fighting
system here when the new pumping
system is finished than can be
found in any of your three cities"
Is Motorized.
The arsenal fire department is
completely motorized and has Tor
.>its equipment, apparatus of the best
fire machinery manufacturing COM
panies of the country. Prior to Sep
TENDER of last year the arsenal de-
partment apparatus was horse
drawn and it was through the eff
forts of the late Colonel Leroy T.

The department is headed by Dan

EXPLAINS centenary MOVEMENT

templates work in the frontier set
Elements land towns of the west,
work among the Indians and Me-
groes, special attention to foreign
immigrants, and to the religious
problems of the masses In the cities.
This work is to be carefully coordi-
mated with the efforts of other
churches In the same fields. Sub
scriptions to the Centenary fund are
to be divided into parts to be paid
annually. That is. one may have
years in which to pay his subscrip-
tion. The special program of the
Centenary extends over this period.
Financial allotments are to be vol
unfairly accepted by the individual
churches.
The financial program is not,
however, the only goal of the Cen
tenary. It's plan and organization
contemplates the raising of the
standards of Christian efficiency and
effort. A deeper devotion to aims
and ideals of Christianity, the quick
ening of the devotional life of the
church, the calling of young people
into special religious work. The
whole movement is a careful and
scientifically organized plan, leaven-
ed with the Christian spirit. to face
the new responsibilities laid upon
the church by the unprecedented
world situation In the period of re-
construction. All lost motion is to
be eliminated by careful cooperation
with similar movements in other
churches. Not only extension, but
conservation of effort is to be the
watchword.
A central patriotic celebration at
Columbus, Ohio, is to be held in
June, 1919. The theme OF the pro-

BY Melville t. Wire

Though there has been consider
able publicity for number Of
months concerning the Centenary
movement OF the Methodist Episco-
pal church, 1t may still be pertinent
to explain what It is.
The Centenary Is the celebration
Of the Tooth anniversary of Metho-
dist missions. This work was be-
gun among the Wyandot Indians of
southern Ohio. It has strange and
romantic connection with the early
history OF Oregon: VIM. Walker, a
half-breed OF the wyandot nation,
who had come directly under the in
fluence OF these early missionary ef-
forts, was In st. Louis representing
the government at the time Of the
arrival OF the three Nez Perces In
dams and one Flathead who came to
secure "the White Mans book of
Heaven" This appeal greatly moved
the Christian half-breed. VIM. Walk
er, who wrote at'once an account OF
II to G. p. Disosway, a Methodist
merchant OF New York City, who
had rendered financial aid to the
Wyapdotte mission. Mr.. Disosway
gave 1t to the church papers and as
a direct result Jason Lee was sent
as missionary to the Oregon coun-
try; whose subsequent activities in
governmental as we'll as missionary
efforts, helped much toward direct
ing attention to Oregon; encourag-
ing immigration, and settling the
question OF sovereignty in favor of
the United States.
1t was decided by the Centenary
committee to make this Tooth ami
versary not merely a celebration,
which looked backward to past
events, but looked forward to big
ger things In missionary way. The
problems growing out of the world
war which thrust new responsibility
on the church as we'll as the nation
made this decision very epportune
The plans OF the centenary have
been outlined by such great experts
In Christian organization as John r
Mott and e. Earl Taylor. Careful
surveys based on data secured in {
thorough and painstaking way, ar,
the basis Of the financial askings o
the Centenary. The financial goa
is $105, 900, 900. This is to be uset
to expand, stimulate and rehabilitat,
the missionary work Of the churcl
