BRILLIANT MINISTER
VICTIM or INFLUENZA
Rev. Dudley B. Ashford,
Noted Preacher and Lee
turer, Well Known On
Three Continents, Was
Ordered to Give Cp Work


Reverand Dudley b Ashford is an
extraordinary man. Although still
on the sunny side OF forty. he la;
crowded more service to humanity in.
to few years than most men accom-.
pliish in life time.
Soon after his graduation from
Harley College, London England he
was ordained minister at the famous
New Court Congregational church,
London. A short time thereafter he
was selected. to present the cause of
Congo Reform and African Missions
before the people of Norway and
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
years labored as a missionary among
the Maoris. where his experiences
were novel and thrilling.
In 1916, he returned to England
and served for three years at Wood
Street Congregational church, Cardiff
South Wales. the biggest Congrcgs-
tional church in the British Empire.
It was while here that he fell one of
the early victims of the great 1918
flu epidemic, an attack from which
he had not fully recovered when he
accepted a call to the Queens Road
Congregational church, st. Johns,
where his forceful
preaching soon attracted record COLI
The strain of this work upon his
constitution proved too
severe and he suffered nervous
breakdown, from which now, howev-

months and began to fear that my
health was permanently affected.
He Had Been Skeptical
II had always been rather skepti-

merits of any medicine, but Ole day
I read the statement OF man whose
symptoms seemed to be identical with
my own, and his praise of Tanlac
rang so true l decided to give ii a
trial myself. l bought bottle and
its effect was almost immediate. My
nervous condition began to disappear
and began to get sleep at night. My
appetite so increased that / could
scarcely satisfy it, and I found my
self putting on weight rapidly. By

The Festive Fly.

Fly swatting campaigns in Rock Island,
as in other places, have proven successful in
the past In fact the effect is seen right now
at this season OF the year, when the festive
fly becomes numerous.
French scientists have discovered that the
fly, at whose feet is placed the blame for many
of the evils to which the human flesh is heir,
possesses what might be termed an antiesthet-
ic temperament. The fly fees, they say, frocl
the color of blue. 1t likewise resents the per-
fume OF flowers, as it does any odor which
indicates purity, cleanliness and disinfection,
such as hot soapsuds or washing powders.
The purpose of experiments which brought
forth these discoveries, we assume, was to
make life unpleasant for the fly. SO that i
might become more pleasant for humanity
This appears to be worthy work Even the
organization which recently protested against
the use of gas to combat the greedy grass
hopper could hardly object to discouraging
the By's activities of such gentle methods.
II a robins egg blue barn. sapphire gar
bagc can flanked by beds of peonies and car
nations, or a well scrubbed back porch can
drive the wicked fly into fields beyond our
Ken, surely science is to be thanked for putting
us in touch with the facts.
But, in the meantime, swatters still are
available at most OF the stores. The day is
at hand when the fly becomes festive. In the
absence of blue paint and flowers, we still may
occupy our time with some profit and enter
tainment, by resuming the annual sport o
swat
In the absence OF scientific methods ant
color schemes, it is just as we'll to keep OF

and it was her duty to be kind to
him, SO she helped Alice entertain
him. She walked with him, talked
with him. drove with him, and felt
herself very magnanimous in do
ing 1t.
A few weeks after his arrival q
French army officer came to see
Byron. The girls were curious al
to the object Of his visit, for Byron
foretold nothing. merely smiling
with that ekasperating twinkle in
his eyes. And the surprise of the
ladies' was great when the young
Frenchman pinned medal on By
ron's chest as q mark offfaver from
the French government for unpar-
alleled bravery and fortitude on
the field Of battle and for chivalry
and kindness to French widows and
orphans.

Banditry in American Cities.

Danditry in American cities has come to be
~ common as petty larceny. 1t is big prob
lem, not half comprehended, and is yet to be
taken up sociologically. 1t has gone beyond
the mere policing aspect the capture OF the
bandits and their punishment. The cause must
l1,e dealt with and prevention be the object in
communities where bandits menace life. The
appalling fact is that most city bandits are
mere youths, and not old enough to be hard
ened or habitual criminals. When investiga-
ton has been made it has been found that
these youths are without moral sense of the
value Of human life.
In Chicago, where bandits have been most
numerous for Is or 20 years, no one appar-
emily believes he is his brothers keeper. The
public at large merely reads the newspaper
headlines and goes about its respective indi-

pretty sure to send somebody to a
