The Y. M. C. A. has for more than
a year been making plans to open a
university, non-sectarian in character,
and national in scope. 1t was expect
ed to build such college in some city,
and Cleveland, Boston, Chicago, In
dianapolis and Milwaukee have been
among the cities contemplated for the
institution. The project of taking ov-
err Antioch, if arrangements could be
completed for such a move, was only
recently contemplated, and ten days
ago 1t was first preached to certain
trustee of the college, with the result
that the meeting OF Friday was ar
ranged.

American Lutherans
See Big Opportunity

With the opening OF the big Luth-
congregations here see in the move
ment something much greater than
the mere raising of fund to carry
forward work of reconstruction and
of relief. While the immediate OBJ
ject is to bring succor to the stricken
churches in France, Finland, Estho-
mia and the Black Sea provinces,
where $375,00 will be spent to save
the church from utter ruin, the ul-
innate object Is certainly to turn the
eyes of the Lutheran church of the
world to the church in America as
the true leaders of Lutheranism.

has been an increase in the number of sheep in
the United States in the last year, nevertheless
there is room for expansion. He shows that one
reason why farmers hesitate in purchasing
flock of sheep is the fear of sheep killing dogs.
He suggests to the governors of these states
that they consider the matter of legislation to en-
courage sheep growing by removing or control
ling the dog menace
The matter of legislation against dogs is pure
ly one confined to the various states. Household
dogs are almost necessities on every farm, but
sheep killing dogs should be eradicated at once.
Both mutton and wool are profitable items for
the farmer, and some dogs are nuisance.

ROAD WORK DURING 1919

Grants amounting to $5O,000.O00 will
be distributed by the British road
board for the construction Of roads
and bridges in England in 1919. De-
mobilization army units will be used
to do the labor. Local highway au-
thorities will be required to match this
appropriation by at least as large a
program of road work as they carried
out in the year before the war. Area
taken into consideration, England's
program is thus far in excess of that
of the United States, including both
federal aid and state funds.

Daily Health Talks
GOING BACK TO NATURE.
By DIR. W. LUCAS.

People get sick because they 60 away
from Nature, and the only way to get
well is to go back. Something grows out
of the ground in the form of vegetation
to cure almost every ill. Some of these
vegetable growths are understood by
man, and some are not. Animals, it
would seem, know what to do when
they are sick better than men and
women. Observers have noted that a
sick horse, dog or cat will stop eating
food and seek out some vegetable
growth in the field or yard, which, when
found and eaten, often restores appetite
and health. Haven't you seen these
animals do this very thing yourself?
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, long
since found the herbs and roots pro-
vided by Nature to overcome constipa-
ton, and he had these vegetables COL
lected and made up of Mayapple, leaves
of Aloe, root of Jalap, into little white
sugar coated pills, that he called DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You must
understand that when your intestines
are stopped up, poisons and decayed
matter are imprisoned in your system,
and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does
your head ache, you get dizzy, you
can't sleep, your skin may break out,
your appetite declines, you get tired
and Respondent. As q matter of fact,
you may get sick all over. Don't you
see how useless all this suffering is :?
All that is often needed is few Of
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which he
has placed in all drug stores for your
convenience and health. Try them by
all means. They are probably the very
thing you need right now.
