DIDN'T KNOW
 TWAS SO GOOD
Texas Lady Storekeeper, Who Carries Black-Draught in Stock, Has Found It Best Liver Medicine"
 ObtainabIe

Barker, Texas.-Relating her expe- rIenee with Thedford's Black Draught, Mrs A. L. Fromme, of this place, says: T had for some time used and other liver medicines. which would nauseate and make me feel bad. We have store, and our customers called for Black Draught so often I decided it must be good, so thought would try it myself.
 q began it's use and found it just fitted my case. It neither griped nor nauseated me, was an easy laxative and not hard to take.
 T had had headaches great deal. no doubt from torpid liver. The Black-Draught would cure them. The best way I find to take Black Draught is to take one or two good sized doses until the liver begins to act, then taper the doses to just a pinch after meals.
 Ut will insure good digestion, do away with the gas or bad taste in the mouth, and is without doubt the best liver medicine in the market. I have found it so. can recommend it to my friends, for I believe it will do them good,o
 Most dealers carry it in stock.

THE MISSION OF THE
 CHURCH" DR. EDMONDS

The Mission of the Church was the inspiring theme of the morning sermon by Dr. Henry M. Edmonds, pastor of the Independent Presbyterian Church, at the Temple Emanu-El yes terday. Every sentence of his forceful exegesis carried with it conviction be- cause of the practical and human ap- peal it made. 'Till we all come in the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God. unto a perfect man. unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" was the text from which pr. Edmonds spoke.
 But instead of making plea for Christian unity as regards the oneness of the denominations. pr. Edmonds in- terpreted the text as meaning that every single individual should come into a unity of faith in Christ, to ! true conception of the Son of God and should express that faith and that knowledge in daily acts of noble living ard serving.
 'Tf there is anything ugly in Gods whole kingdom said Dr. Edmonds Tit is this faith of the east which causes one to sit and sway while being lifted into the ethereal blue above. There is reeded guide in spirituality, and this guido is the Knowledge of the Son of God. There is nothing in your daily life that should not center itself around that thought If you are so lily fingered that you cannot help clean up the mudholes of your com munity then all your faith is of little avail.
 Having the true faith and the true concept and knowledge of the Son of
 God will lead one to the proper dis
 charge of his Christian duties" was
 he opinion expressed by the speaker The 20,000,000 of children in America
 who are not in Sunday school would be cared for. the 94 per cent of Hitter ates in India would be made mini
 mum, and all other deplorable and un- worthy conditions would be remedied were the American people and the peo- pie of the world come to the unity ot faith and the knowledge of the Son ol God spoken of by Paul,
 pr. Edmonds said that while he was willing to hope for the unity of the church as commonly understood, vel he did not believe in it. We are diff ferent in order that we shall bring complete representation of life he said. 'No creed is big enough to hol6 all the truth of Christ, and no church is big enough to present it.'

Turkeys Leading Feminist

from Aaledeh Hanoum by Gertrude
 Emerson, In Asia Magazine.
 During the war Handeh Hanoum de- voted herself to the work of establishing schools for girls throughout Syria and the organization of great orphanages for the starving children of Armenia and Asia Minor. Her work centered chiefly in Beirut. although her supervision of schools extended to Damascus and other |places. The scale upon which this school credit ou the Turkish administration. IL
 would seem as though Diemel Pasha wished to prove that Turkey was able
 to build schools as we'll as western conn tries Two private cars filled with h-teach- CTS were dispatched to make the long journey from Constantinople down through Asia Minor. As soon as she arrived at Beirut, Halideh Hanoum took over the great Danes de Nazareth School, a magnificent building situated on high hill overlooking the city and the Lebanon mountains. This school had been abandoned by the French at the beginning of the war against Turkey. No expense was spared in fitting it up. Perhaps beautiful carved wood furniture and oriental tapestries might be consid- cred superfluous as schoolhouse fur nishings in country suffering from all the deprivations of war. But HalyaeN Eanoum's friend. Djmel Pasha, viceroy
 of Syria, footed the bills, and tAis
 school, as well as many others. was
 opened under the most favorable a'ss- pices. The school system followed ap- proved lines of modern education, and included, among other subjects, dra- c1- ics and athletics. an innovation for Ir'rk- ish girls. The religious freedom of ~le schools was carefully guarded. and Chris tian and Moslem girls sat side by side in classrooms. with a perfect atmos- phere of comradeship and harmony.

of such an experience; you want 10 give proof of your good faith. You VIII be afraid that unless you commit your self then, you will never do anything. You are passing through one of the decisive hours of your life.
 You know what Jacob did. He made a VOW. It was in the nature of bar gain with God. That may shock and offend your refined and spiritual sensi- bilities. But why should it? bar gain is not a bad thing in itself. | grant you a fraudulent bargain is one of the worst things in the world, oul an honest bargain is one of the very best. We come to respect. to know ana love those with whom we have honest and fair dealing. In every such trans action we insist on pledging ourselves and binding ourselves to do our part even when it is not demanded of us We are glad to know there are few loved ones with whom our word is as good as our bond, but none of us would feel right about taking advantage or that fact We would insist the more upon giving our bond.
 Our whole society is bound together by reciprocal relations. Every transac- ton between persons is a kind of bar gain. All contracts are conditional. Why then, if God is real to us, when our nedTlS are fnclleu anu Oui SPAi -NS sensitive, should we not commit our selves definitely and openly to what we know God expects of us. You, fathers and mothers who brood over your little ones. haven't you ever made bargains with your children? Haven't you been glad when they committed themselves, of their own accord, to do the things that were big and fine and right? Didn't you understand their motive, and encourage them to Keep their pledge and fulfil their part of the bargain? Of course you did And does not God deal with us as our fatherf Doesn't He understand the secret mo- tives of our hearts, and rejoice when we are as intimate and confidential with Him s our children are with us?
 Why are we afraid to commit our selves? We want to leave the back door open, to remain free and ire sponsible to follow our moods and not our high duties We want to deal softly with ourselves"

Minnesota Primary
 Plans Are Attacked By Senator Johnson

Minneapolis, Minn., March 7.-Senator Johnson of California, candidate for the republican nomination for president, who arrived here today, issued a statement attacking the Minnesota presidential preferential primary arranged by the re- publican state central committee Tor March 15.
 The state committee arranged for the holding of the primary from 7:S0 p. m. to S:so D. m.. except where county chairmen set the hours of z to 3 p. m. The state law permits holding of primary any time between the hours of p. m. and |9 D. m
 ''The arrangement Senator Johnson's s statement said, 'is not designated to give Minnesota republicans right of expres- sion Farmers, business men and workers cannot, within the limit of the evening hour, have the opportunity which is their right to vote in the primaries. In plain language, this is no primary at all, put an endeavor by the organization in con- trol to disfranchse the republicans or Minnesota"

aRich Men. Diplomats

Arthur Sweetser, in Worlds Work.
 At the present moment the foreign ser vice is most thoroughly un-American. It is closed, practically, to all but rich nen. Quite unjustly, this fact has often 5een used as an argument against the service itself Such reasoning, however, .s to put the cart before the horse : the real reason why rich men are so nu- merous in the service is not because or any design on their part. but because fbev alone can afford to be in it. Surely it is a. negation of Americanism to deoar noor men from this most attractive work. [ remember a young man who had done extraordinarily well at Paris and who was urged by our highest authorities to stav on in the regular service. With aW the expenses of living abroad. Of enter taining enough to be civil of moving perhaps to several new posts, the salary was but s1 300 a year, with the possibility of $S,00O at the end of ten years. For tunately he also had private means and could afford to subsidize Uncle sam to maintain a respectable appearance before the world.

 The day of the latticed window and the

 farther than one might suppose. Certfn-
 lv the revolution of July 24, 1918, when
 Sultan Abdul Hamid was forced by the
 Young Turk party to proclaim the long
 delayed constitution, and when Turkey
 first began to think in terms of modern
 institutions went a long way toWSro

 ton, of education, of secret propaganoa'

 PRIMARY MAY Il
Issues Address to the State
 Committee Against Delay } ing Senate Nomination

Montgomery March 7.-(SpeciaL)- Congressman J. Thomas Heflin. the first announced candidate to succeed the late Senator Bankhead gives out the following address to the Demo- cratic State Executive Committee to- night:
 ITO the State Democratic Committee;
 As a candidate to succeed the late Senator Bankhead, have been led to believe that the primary election would be held on May Il, and I have already qualified as a candidate.
 q talked with Governor Kilby and with the chairman of the state demo- cratic committee. MT. Nesbit, and both of them agreed that Senator Bank heads successor should be nominated in the primary of May Ii.
 This is as it should be- I
 "Rumors have reached me that an effort is being made for the convent ence of certain gentlemen to induce the state executive committee to post ilone the date of nomination of candi- date to succeed the late Senator Bank head to some distant date beyond May II.
 Candidates for all state offices, in- c1uding the selection of the United States Senator for the long term, will be chosen on that day. Under the plan proposed all candidates desiring to succeed Senator Bankhead will have ample opportunity to qualify the time being extended under the suggestion of Chairman Nesbitt to March IS. All that Is necessary to be done is for the committee to provide for the nomina- tion of two senators instead of one. one for the long term, and one for the short term. If the primary is held on May IL, the date already fixed by the committee for the nomination of all other candidates including one United States senator, it will result in a saw ing to the taxpayers of the state of Alabama of more than fifty thousand dollars I have discussed this matter with many democrats in the ranks of our party from different sections of the state, and every one of them with out a single exception concurs in the view that there is no just cause or good excuse for postponing the pri- mary for this purpose beyond the date already fixed for the general primary May II.
 Feeling that in this position I am expressing the opinion and desire of a vast majority of the democrats of the state, I urge upon you as the party you will direct that the primary for the nomination of Senator Bankhead' s successor be held on May II, the day already designated by the committee for the general primary. yours sincerly, J. Thomas Heflin."

1.-THE IDEAL BARGAIN"
 SERMON BY DR. MACSPORRAN

AL the flFst HFeSDyteTidH CHuICH Sunday morning Dr. J. A MacSporran preached on Jacobs vow recorded in Genesis. If God will be with me, and will keep me in the way that I go. and will give me bread to eat and raiment to put on. so that I come again to my fathers house in peace, and Jehoveh will be my God, then this stone which have set up for pillar shall be Gods house, and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto me- Dr. MacSporran said in part:
 Jacob had just had one of those great experiences, which visit all of us on rare occasions, of the presence and power of the living God. The veil was rent and by a flash of light he saw
 the over-world. He saw more than that, however. He saw himself; his trickiness, his cunning, his lying and cowardice. He saw the kind of man he was becoming, before God, and it frightened him. This is the sure sign
