THROAT WITH
L|QUOSEPTOL

Medical Scientists In the past few
months have disproved tho theory
that colds arc caused, as nro COM
monty supposed from cold drauEhts,
OF air Or from lack OF protection to
certain parts OF tho body. It now
seems, moro evident than over
before, that the first contraction OF @
cold Is from disease germs which gain
entrance to the system through the
secrotionary glands of the throat.
The mouth constantly moistened with
saliva becomes on ideal breeding
place for disease germs which are
found to circulate 30 largely In i'm
properly ventilated places, such ea
theatres, Office buildings, and often
In closely crowded street cars.
One OF tho best ways to protect
your throat from these disease germs
is to use daily mouth wash Of LII
quoseptol. Liquoseptol Is power
full antiseptic superior to other pre-
paratfoAs Of Its kind, yet 1t Is abso-
lutely FREQ from all irritating pro-
perties. In daily use 1t has proven
destroying agent to disease germs
and fermentation.
Ltquoseptol Is OH Invaluable pre-
paration for use In the sick room, In
the bath, for nasal satarrh, sore
throat, cuts. abrasions and cruptiona
Of tho skin. Whom suffering from
indigestion or Preventative dyspepsia
Liquoseptol taken In water will give
relief. Clip this al. take 1t to your
druggist, set q bottle and have it on
hand for general use. Three sizes.

THANK YOU

On finding ourselves hcdged In in
England, we appealed to a few Of our
brethren at home-rememberin tho
Board. would have to organize to get
money for us, 50 to save time and
suffering we acted as we believed for
the best. Only for the timely help OF
those Cody brethren we would have
suffered untold hardship, If not hung
er and great humiliation. They did
not give once or twice, but indeed
they gave n dozen times for the river
and road transportation in Africa
could never have been accomplished
without 1t. We are quite sure our
Board will not punish any Of us for
this act as it saved the day for the
Army in the field Of God even as did
Grant, Foch and Pcrshing won indy
ing fame for their Governments by
striking at tho right time and report
ing afterwards.

RESOLUTIONS IN RESPECT TO
TIM LATE DIR. s. a. MOSES.

Newport News, Va, Feb. 18.-The
unexpected demise, and passing of the
real Rev. S. A. Moses. ID. D., from
earths gloomy shores to celeatial
plains Of unclouded bliss. Is another
striking reminder that ''It Is appoint
ed unto men. once, to die."
A divine providence which reaches
beyond the range Of human vision
and rises above human Interpretation
has gloriously waited the immortal
spirit of a, husband. father. brother.
and friend away from all that Is car
a saint with angelic throngs and hosts
residing In Glory land.
The death Of this man of God, re
moves from us, first OF all, q man.
Ono who was worthy Of being called
such, for from head to foot no was q
man, yea every inhc a man.
But 1t Is better still to think Of our
brother ns one who had been with
Jesus and learned of Him. His spirit
ual insight was keen, his convictions
deep, while his faith was large, in
creasing, abiding and satisfying. .
Thus the evidence Of regeneration
waA. more or less. manifest in the
words, work and ways Of the deceased.
At homo he was calm. quiet, pains
taking and thoughtful as host, faith
full as husband and inexpressibly af-
fectioaate as father.
In church he was sincere and de-
yOut either as preacher or auditor.
And we rejoice In the iminent degree
to which our brothers labors were
successful, on account Of his consc-
Grated life. certain and sound convic-
lions and untiring zeal. And In him
was potent, positive and construc-
tive force, In exertion, for his race
and denomination in general and tho
work OF tho Virginia Baptist State
convention in particular.
At all times end under all ctrcum-
stances, firmly he stood at his post
CT duty. and is voice never failed to
ring out for the cause he represent.

proudly among tho gospel heralds OF
The front line. Truly he did have q
passion for preaching. Moat Of his

But we believe that our sorrow, loss
