THE BUSINESS OF THE CHURCH rs

, quick that it would make your
head swim.
1 didn't ask for the privilege of
coming to this city. They begged
me to come. They have been ask
ing me to come for years. We are
here in response to the appeal OF
the preachers and the church and
the people that want to benefit
their fellow-men and felIow-wo-
men with the gospel Of Jesus
Christ. That's why We are herei
1 am here to do my part. and l
guess have been here long enough
for you to know that l will not
shirk it. 1 will go the limit of my
strength every time for God and
for the truth. I expect you to do
the same. l have got just as much
right to expect you to do your best
as you have got a right to expect
me to do my best. And ! will do
1t, but you must do yours.
Confession Not Enough.
And so many think that once
they've made a public confession
of their faith, then their hope of
eternal life is secure; there's moth
ing for them to do. The church
members are target for the world.
It's not enough to have the love OF
God in your heart, but that love
must express itself in words and
in deeds.
What would happen if the farm
er left all of his grain in the gran
airy and never planted any of it?
You'd never have any cTop-neVer

And so, don't leave religion in
your heart. but let it work itself
out. Teach others If you are go
ing to be a benediction and =
blessing. You have got TO be care
full of your behavior. The Lords
hand is not so short that He can
not save; neither is His ear so
deaf that He cannot hear; but your
sins have separated you and your
God, and get your face away be-
fore Him and you will not hear.
God says, You cannot serve God
and mammon"
Just as God has said, bird can
not fly without wings, you cannot
see without eyes, you cannot hear
without ears, you cannot breathe
without lungs, you cannot serve
God and mammOn. You cannot be
partakers of the table of the Lord

Admiral William s. Benson, who
will be placed on the retired list
of the United States navy today
for age, has been chief OF naval
operations since that Office was
created by congress several years
ago. Next to the secretary of the
navy the post is the highest in the
service. Admiral Benson is a
Georgian who entered the naval
academy soon after the close of the
Civil war. Since he left Annapolis
in the '70s his servs ce has COM
prised the customary routine of
alternating sea and shore duty.
Early in his career he participated
in the Greedy relief expedition. In
later years he served as first COM
mander of the .dreadnaught Utah.
as chief Of staff of the Pacific fleet,
and as commandant of the navy
yard at Philadelphia. With the
death OF Admiral Dewey he became
the ranking officer of the navy.

The Many Mysteries
of Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, M. D.

You can take an onion seed and pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get IN onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower Of
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium IA dangerous. habit-forming
drug, or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation. No
scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries Of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every.
thing growing out of the ground seems in
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned it all
through treating thousands of cases. The
result Of his studies was medicine called
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
nature surely intended for backache, head
ache, weakening drains, bearing down
pains, periodical irregularities, pelvic in
Aammations, and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages of life. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made of
lady's slipper root, black cohosh root, uni
corn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape root. Women who take this stand
ard remedy know that in Dr.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription they are getting a
safe woman's tonic SO good that druggists
everywhere sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no mar
eotic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he. first
made this standard medicine, that whisky
and morphine are injurious. and so he has
always kept them out of his remedies.

council Of the great powers concern
ing the. disposal Of the German col
onies and occupied regions in Turkey
in-Asia is much more definite than is
generally supposed, and besides &C.
ceptance in principle Of the American
plan of mandatories. it embraces the
following main features:
The allied and associated powers
are agreed that the German colonies
shall not be returned to Germany
owing, first, to mismanagement, cru
city, and the use of these colonies as
submarine bases.
The conquered regions Of Armenia
Syria, Mesopotamia. Palestine, and
Arabia shall be detached from the
Turkish empire.
Provision is made whereby the well
being and development of backward
colonial regions are regarded as the
sacred trust Of civilization, over which
the league of nations exercises super
visory care. The administration or
tutelage of these regions is entrusted
to the more advanced nations who will
act as mandatories.
The mandatories are not uniform
but vary according to the degree Of
development of the colonial regior
and its approach to the stage Of self
government. The mandates in Pales-
tine, Syria and other portions of Tur-
key where well-developed civilization
exists, would be comparatively light
and probably would permit of the pro
visional recognition Of the independ
ence Of these communities.
On the other hand colonies like
those in central Africa would require
mandatory with large powers Of ad-
ministration as responsible for the
suppression of the slave trade, the
liquor traffic, ammunition and arms
traffic and the prevention Of military
authority on the part Of the native
except for native police purpose
Other colonies and localities, such as
those in German southwest Africa and
some of the South Pacific Islands
have such sparse and scattered popu-
lations and are so separated from
other communities that the laws Of
the mandatory country would prob
ably prevail.
The mandatories will report at stat
ed intervals to the league of nations
concerning the manner in which col
ony is being administered.
The foregoing outline indicates on
broad lines the terms whereby, it IL
declared, conflicting views were fin
ally reconciled and common agree
ment was reached acceptable to all
the powers.
The official communication dealing
with today's session of the supreme
council says:
"The president of the United States,
the prime ministers and the foreign
ministers of the allied and associated
powers and the Japanese representa-
tives met this afternoon at the Quail
d'Orsay from to 6:15 o'clock.
"The conference approved the text
Of the provisional agreement between
the Czechs and the Poles, proposed by
the delegates Of the powers, regarding
the Teschen district.
"The instruction to be given to the
inter-allied commission which is to
proceed to Poland were definitely de-
cided upon and approved.
"The Rumanian delegates, M. Bra
tiano and M Mishu, were then In
troduced. M. Bratiano made de-
tailed statement of the Rumanianu

There can be no further excuse for
you to allow acid-stomach to wreck
your health-pile up misery upon mis-

low card man; the white card man
is doubtful or possible; the blue card
man is mechanically opposed. The
process Of changing blue, first into
white, then into yellow, has pre-
sented points of vivid interest.
1t was early discovered that when
a congressman or senator told every
woman who interviewed him that he
was opposed for a certain reason and
stated the same reason to all, it was
really his opinion. An effort was
then made to bring him proof of his
error, and every legitimate means of
bringing the proof needed for his
conversion was employed When,
however, the senator gave to each
woman who interviewed him diff
ferent reason for his opposition, it
was then understood that his op-
position was not a considered oppo-
sition. One by one the objections
he urged were combated, both by in

to learn the names and the interests
which gave financial backing to the
congressman or legislators, and these
interests were then appealed to join
their request with ours that the can

In this manner we have learned
even despite the campaign against
corruption and on behalf OF real
democratic representative govern
ment, there are men elected to legis-

them, but by the man who contrib
