 TraproClx and the Tornado
 q have had lot of experience with wind in my time,'' said my old friend Dr. Trap rock. "In fact, some of my critics call me Old Trade-wind because they say am al ways blowing in one direction or another. But that is mere professional jealousy which started when l reported an entirely new type of storm which I encountered near the Ell; bert Islands, disturbances made up of the three great southern storms, the simeon, the typhoon and the monsoon, which, combined, create what is called the octoroon or eight sided whirlwind.
 .But probably the most hazardous wind experiences ever had happened right here in our own country when actually travelled inside of one of our middle-western tornadoes ;. you know the center of a tornado is a vacuum while the outer edges move at rate of about five hundred miles an hour.
 q had left St. Louis and was driving my automobile to Kansas City, where vas to deliver my talk on the Use of the Oyster as a Beast of Burden The air turned sud denly murky, rattle of hailstones sounded on the top of my car, and next saw tor. nado already upon me. 1 instantly made for barn in nearby field.
 Suddenly the barn disappeared in a crash but it had protected me long enough to allow me to get into the dead center of the tor nado. My problem was to stay there We took our way across country blazing rough road as we went, but I had to drive with extreme care to avoid the swirling sides Of the funnel which would have instantly sucked me upward. As it was I lost my lanterns and my tires. When the storm suddenly lifted found myself on the edge of Kansas City into which rode on my rims, thankful indeed, to, be there at all.
 ''You may remember that the newspapers at the time hinted at an unusual freak of tornado which their great press association could not accurately report. That was it. !"

Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

a Along trout-brooks on the meadow of the Isaac D. Williams farm, back of Indian Hill, Bedford, red-winged blackbirds called, fIut- tering before their drab little mates. Meadow larks sang dramatically from elms overlook ing the battlefield on the plateau, where 'tis said Capt. John Underhilps troops wiped out an Indian village long ago. The red earth of the historic field turned smoothly over the plowshare. Bluebirds sang, and crinkleroot raised it's crosses beside the preacher-of-th the wood in swamps back of the tillage land. -
 Along the road from the metropolis whose private estates encroach upon Westchester, automobiles moved swiftly. A leopard frog leaped into the brook as a cotton-tail, snug gling dts baby into grass nest, bounded away as a shadow fell across marsh marisold on the bank A red fox from the wood ran it's snout into the nest and the baby bunny disappeared.
 The watchdog from the house among the eonifers where seven generations of one fam fly have lived, broke through the bushes and Sir Reynard was a tawny streak in the sun light. War still goes on in Paradise.

 Just all in, down and out, that's the fix I was in before I began using the Herb Juice and 1t looked as though was going to stay that way, as had tried about everything without getting any relief. In fact, it looked like the more medicine I took the worse l got. My stomach was in such a condition that I was almost afraid to eat, as Aknew I was sure to suffer for hours after eating with indigestion pains and bilious attacks. I had been told that my trouble was caused from a chronic case of constipation, but although l had treated for this trouble, I could not find anything to regulate my bowels. As everyone knows, when person Is both cred with this trouble, they are out of shape all over and that was my fix. I could not sleep on account of my Kid neys acting so irregular and suffered great deal with pains across my back and side. Then, one day l saw state- ment from a friend of mine in the papers about Herb Juice. Little did dream that this medicine was going to do me as much good as it has, but like a drowning man, grabbing at straw, I was willing to try anything. l have now used several bottles of this medt- cine and I feel 100 per cent better in every way than I have for years. Stomach trouble, say, l feel as though I kind and I eat everything I want and never have any trouble from indiges- tion or bilious attacks. Kidneys act regular and I have been relieved of those pains across my back and side. I have also found Herb Juice to be wonderful regulator and have been re- lieved of constipation. As said be- fore, I could write a book about this medicine, but I will make a long story short and say it is, to my way of think ing, the greatest medicine on earth"
 Many are calling daily to see the Herb Juice man at Jacobs Drug Store. 21I North Nineteenth Street, with statements for publication, praising Herb Juice, that their friends may be induced to try the great remedy that has relieved so many thousands of Bir- mingham citizens.

ASK CONVENTION
 TO BIRMINGHAM
Dr. Simpson Reports A Great Meeting In
 Cleveland

Dr. Robert N. Simpson, pastor of the First Christian church, who with Mrs. Simpson and, other members of the con- greeation have returned from the an- nuai convention of that communion held in Cleveland, Ohio, reports one of the best assemblies of recent years.
 More than 1000 delegates registered and many visitors were in attendance, so that the great city auditorium seat iug 12,000 people was none too large for those sessions of the convention that were of interest to the largest number. The official report of the United Christian Missionary society, the agency through which the Disciples of Christ administer their -beneSoiences, showed splendid gains during the year in offerings for missions and benevo- fences, in the number of contributing churches, and gain of 14 per cent In the membership of the mission churches on the ten foreign fields where the Disciples have their mission stations.
 The convention will be held at Okla homa> City next year and a committee composed of Dr Simpson, D. ID. Linth- icum and Rev. J. D. Speigel invited the Disciples to come to Birmingham in 1926. Thousands of postcards show ing the new church building of the First Christian church and conveying information concerning Birmingham's facilities for entertaining a great con vention were distributed among the del eeates, so that Birmingham has been placed before the Disciples of every state as the logical place of assembly for 1926.
 Those attending this gathering from First church were: Dr. and Mrs. Simpson, Mir. and Mrs. E. D. Linthi- cum. Miss Helen Mae Linthicum, Mrs. E. B. Pennington, Mrs. J. H. Beach, Mir. H. 0. Bernard, and Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Speigel and Dr. D. H. Griffin, nastor of the Ensley Christian church.
