There are four street car lines in
Council Bluffs which transfer pas

get the one-man cars. It has long
been the claim of the street car
company that the Paramount Park
School for the Deaf, Eighth street
and Sixteenth avenue lines, do not
pay expenses. The car men, thru
the various wage increases OF the
past year are now paid about $3.50 a
month and reduction Of ten men
would mean quite a saving to the
company each month. 1t is also
claimed that at times it is impossible
to secure sufficient motormen and
conductors.

BRILLIANT MINISTER
VICTIM OF INFLUENZA
Rev. Dudley B. Ashford, Noted
Preacher and Lecturer, Well
Known on Three Continents,
Was Ordered to Give Up
Work.

Reverend Dudley Il. Ashford Is an
extraordinary man. Altho still on the
sunny side of forty, he has crowd
cd more service to humanity into q
few years than most men accomplish
IN lifetime.
Soon after his graduation from
Harley College. London, England. ne
was ordained minister at the famous
New Court Congregational churcn'
London. A short time thereafter ne
was serected to present the cause or
Congo Reform and African Missions
before the people of Norway. ana
toured that land with such success
that he was greeted by enormous
crowds at every meeting.
In 1908. under the auspices Of the
Colonial Missionary Society, he was
sent to New Zealand and for three
We. rs labored as missionary among
the Maoris, where his experiences
weie novel and thrilling.
In 1915 he returned to England ana
served for three years at Wood street
Congregational church, Cardiff, south
Wales. the biggest congregational
church in the British Empire. 1t was
while here that he fell one OF the
early victims of the great 1918 fiu
endemic. an attack from which he
had not fully recovered when he &C
cepted O call to the Queens Road
congregational church, st. Johns.
Newfoundland, where his forcefui
preaching soon attracted record con-
gregations./
The strain of this work upon his
undermined constit dtion proved too
severe and he suffered a nervous
breakdown. from which now, how
ever. he has completely recovered.
Moved by desire to serve his feilow
men he has recently written letter
that tells how he was restored to
health and strength.
Moved BY Gratitude.
This letter, addressed to The Tan
lac Co.. Atlanta, Ga, is an eloquent
expression of gratitude and is as fol-
lows:
gentlemen: Your medicine, known
as .Tanlac,' has been such an inesu-
mable blessing to me, that feel con-
strained to write and tell you SO. IN
October 1918, while minister Of the
wood Street Congregational church,
Cardiff, South Wales, l had a severe
attack of the Spanish influenza, from
the effects of which I never fully re-
covered. lost twenty eight pounds
in weight and was unable to recover
my usual energy.
Then, in February. 1919. became
the minister Of the Queens Road
Congregational church at st. Johns,
Newfoundland. My ministry was at
tended with great success, but the
strain proved too great for me and
t,ad a serious breakdown. My nerves
seemed to 60 all to pieces and my
digestion became so deranged that l
could eat scarcely anything. My heart
