COMMUNITY RED CROSS NURSE
REPORTS ON MONTHS WORK

The following is a report of the
Red Cross community nurse for Col
vile during the month of November:
20 schools visited; 339
children examined 80 referred
to the dentist; q to the oculist and
III to physicians. 81 Of the 339
children were found to be under
sized and under-nourished.
Miss LilIas Grey, the nurse, found
conditions in some of the country
schools good, but in others the con-
ditions were far from good. In some
Of the schools the light was so poor
that the pupils had to be taken out
side the building to have their eyes
examined. Miss Grey states that she
finds a fine spirit of cooperation
among the teachers.

THE WORLD CAME TO END

millions Now Living VIII Never
Die" was the subject of a lecture
Wednesday evening at the Palace
theatcr by T. n. Thornton of Brook
lyn, New York, Of the Watchtower
Bible and Tract Society
Rev. Thornton in presenting this
startling subject made other surpris
ing statements. 1t would seem from
his lecture that there is not further
use of worrying about the world
coming to an end because he claims
that it did in 1914. Since that time
the earth has been visited by wars,
| pestilence, disease, death and many
perplexities of all mankind. In 1925
will mark the beginning of new
era With this era will come peace,
plenty, prosperity, liberty and happi
ness to all and those who are brought
to knowledge of the truth, if they
fall in line with Gods will, will never
have to die. 1t will be only those
who refuse to comply with the laws
of Gods Kingdom who will go down
to death after that time. Those in
their graves shall come forth to have
a trial for life.
when this new era dawns Christ
shall be on the throne in Jerusalem.
Mr.. Thornton states that sit is re
markable the work that is going on
in Palestine now in the hands of the
Jews" that we, here in America do
not hear about it.
"1he league of nations will never
succeed, because if it did it would
be the fifth universal empire of the
world and the Bible declares that the
fifth universal empire will be estab
lished in the hands Of Christ and
that will be after every member of
the church is in heaven.
How the Figures are Arrived at
"This world began in 606 B. c.,
the gentle world. In Lev. 26:18 the
period of time referred to, in the
Greek language means $50 years.
By reference to this passage of
scripture it will be found that there
are three separate references to
times this period of time or times
$50 or 1920 years from 606 B. c., or
1914 A. d., the time the gentle
world would end. For 1920 years
the gentiles were to rule the world"
"In Leviticus 25: lip it is found
that the Jews were TO have 70
jubilees of 30 years each, making
$500 years. These began in 1875 b.
C. and counting $500 years from that
date would bring the end of the ju-
bilees to 1925 A. D., or the fall of
1924. Again in Lev. IS: 7-21 there
is mentioned II chronas or II times
$50 years which was used to show
how long it would be until the second
coming of Christ, or 1860 years from
that time leads to 1926"

A big fisherman came aboard my
steamer one day and said that he had
toothache. His jaw was swollen, his
mouth was hard to open, and the Of

when I produced the forceps he pro-

"But, my dear friend, do not know

He sat on the rail while put one
finger into his mouth, touched the

patient close his ponderous jaws. The

the city editor, sat back in his swivel
chair smoking farewell pipe pre-
paratory to going home. His thoughts

luck! We've got something; and we

'Well. for Pete's sake, shootl' de-
manded Farriss. "Cavendish, sup

The two nodded. Their eyes were
alight with enthusiasm.
''In the first place." said the girl,
with grave emphasis. Frederick

posed. He left WILL"

ola Ruel" Whispered Willis to Miss
Donovan.

Again it is reasonable to suppose that
he was croaked by John Cavendish,
who wanted to destroy the will so that
he could claim the estate.
'sThe dead man Is buried, and John
starts spending money like water.
One month later he receives letter
asking him to call at Enright's office.
''What happened there is probably
this: Young Cavendish was informed
of the existence of the will, and it was
offered to him at price which he
couldn't refuse to pay-just then.
perhaps he was frightened into
signing a promise to pay as soon as
he came into the estate-tricked by
Enright. John Cavendish may be in
nocent, or he may be guilty, but one
thing is certain-he's being badgered
to death by two people, from what
little we know. One of them is the
La Rue woman; the other is Enright."
Farriss sat rejecting deeply, chew
ing the stem of his dead pipe.
There's one thing that conflicts
with your hypothesis. valois' state
ment that he was almost positive that
the dead man was not Cavendish."

In their enthusiasm they upset the
custom of the Office and broke into
Farriss' fullest hour. Into his impa-

what they had just learned, ending up
by passing him the telegram.
For a mere instant he glanced at
them, then his lips began to move.
"Beaton- Ned - Ned Beaton - Ned

upright in his chair, while he banged

in Stella, Donovan. ''Where was the
message sent from? Colorado, yes,
but where in Colorado? That's the
thing to find out"
Il thought it might be the last word
in the message-Haskell," ventured
Willis.
Farriss, selling an atlas, thumbed it
until he found map of Colorado. To-
gether the three pored over it.

suddenly. "Down toward the bottom.

snapped sharply, "if you'd keep your

How nwaIIopn Originated.

An incident of interest in English
and French history occurred in the
year 1914. The French fleet ravaged
the coast of Sussex and burned
Brighthelstone, now Brighton, where
upon Sir John Wallow, one of the best
naval commanders Of his time, was
sent by Henry VIII to make reprisals.
In this he succeeded only too well; he
burned 81 French villages, demolished
several harbors, and thrashed the en-
envy to his hearts content. His men.
however, proud Of his achievement, de-
clared that they had walloped the
French. Thus there came into the
English language as a synonym for

Celeste was also in communication

smiling, 'but here is the way I stack

with John, Frederick Cayendish called
in Enright and made a will, presum-
ably cutting John off with practically
nothing.
Immediately after Frederick's de-
parture, Enright calls Cartons cafe
and talks to John Cavendish. who had
been dining there with Celeste La Rue.
1t is reasonable to suppose that he
told him Of the will. Less than five
hours afterward Frederick Cavendish
