THE FLOOD DISASTERS.
I have been reading for the last hour
not only the cyclone in NebrasKa and
other localities, but the flood situation
in the middle west, Ohio and Indiana,
principally.
I laid down my daily paper because
the . sky was so dark over us that I
could not read the fine print without
eye-strain. The whole country seems to
be unwrapped in rain and wind storms—
the murky sky still betokens more foul
weather. They tell us that beautiful
and fertile Indiana is almost a lake in
the southern part 'of the state and no
estimate of the damage is possible un
til the streams run down. Southern Ohio
Is also flooded—and thousands of home
less people are hardly able to get
enough food to satisfy craving hunger.
Great dams collapsed, great bridges
melted away, and the water stands
twenty feet deep in many places where
millions of money have been spent in
industrial plants and elegant dwellings.
It is a singular Providence indeed! A
great conflagration can make terrible
loss, but great floods are even more
ungovernable.
And we who have been spared when
the rains fell and the winds blew can
only pity the helpless and beg the Al
mighty for His preserving mercies. As
I write the western sky is growing
blacker, and the storm wrath is whis
pering: “All is Vanity! And there is
none great but God!”
A MOVEMENT FOB PEACE.
It seems so strange that twenty!
centuries of war has not inclined the
nations of the earth to peace move
ments. I mean a’* general movement to
arbitrate all national differences rather
than to settle by the sword. It is the
most savage policy—that call£ the
standing up the children of loving j
mothers, merely to be shot at, to grat- !
ify the lust of ambition or to aid in;
the conquest of other territory, for the ;
purposes of greed and hate between
n.vtivijs. j
It is an amazing condition, that j
Christian people are still willing to r
send their sons to a battlefield to be
shot at by other so-called Christian
warriors, who lead their own sons out
to slaughter for unholy purposes.
The war between the states was not
only a lack of statesmanship, but a
cruel policy for the men and women

Advice Given Mother in Re
gard to Young Daughter,
Proves Valuable to Daugh
ter Even After Marriage
Pollock, Tex.—“When I was a girl,
about 14 years of age,” writes M/s. Win
nie * Delaney, of this town. “I was in
awfully bad health. I tried different
treatments, but they did me no good.
A friend advised my mother to give me
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. She gave me
one bottle, and it straightened me out all
right.
I did not have any more trouble until
after I was married. I had several bad
spells then, but I began taking Cardui
again, and my health started to improv-'
tng right away.
I can safely recommend Cardui to all
women sufferers, as I think it is the
greatest woman’s medicine on earth.
You may publish this letter if you
wish.”
Cardui is good for young girls, as we\l
as older women, because it contains pure,
harmless, vegetable ingredients, which
act gently, yet surely, on the delicate
womanly, organs. It is a tonic prepared
exclusively for women.
For more than 50 years, Cardui has
been in widely extended use, by women
of all ages, and has given entire satis
faction, as a remedy for rebuilding wom
anly health and strength.
You can rely on Cardui. It will do for
you, what it has done for thousands of
others. It will help you.
Begin to take Cardui, today.

of this A: .erican nation. And I say
it, with due regard to the weight of
my words—that it was akin to blas
phemy to ask God’s blessing on our
arms, when the principal aim of the
strife was the continued enslavement
of human beings. If there had been
no slaves * there would have been no
war. It is not necessary to explain
further. One side dared the other and
tens of thousands of human beings
were slaughtered to gratify those who
gave and resisted the dare.
I hope the present century will de
mand peace.
Mrs. W. H. Felton: The United States
is a powerful government and is able to
cope with any “nation on earth and
should use her power to help make peace
all over the world and especiallp In the
western hemisphere.
Look at the destroying of life and
property for two years or more in Mex
ico. And Mexico is in no better shape
now than when they commenced. The
United States should send a body of
good men over there as peacemakers and
to invite the same number from the
Latin states and all go there as peace
makers. Tell those Mexicans, Indians
and savages to lay down all arms, stop
fighting like savages and wild outlaws.
And proceed like civilized people to es
tablish a civil government, one that all
their people can live under and have
their rights and liberties in the protec
tion of life and property. Let all the
peace messengers stay there and estab
lish a government and act the part of a
good Samaritan.
Let all the governments give the
peacemakers power to assist the people
to organize a civil government and. elect
good men to office and leave out the
bullfighters. The expense of peace mes
sengers would be very little to compare
with’ sesding troops and vessels, naval
ships to a capital and seat of war too
far from water for much good.
Nations as well as men had better
compromise than to go to war. I be
lieve you can write good articles on this
revolution. And the duty of the United
States to volunteer to help settle all
such troubles among the nations, to en
courage them to build up and, not de
stroy each other, to abndaon all such
practices as wfr, and help to build up
the country. The United States could
widen the channel of the Mississippi
river, dredge it deeper and build high
levees .from the mouth to St. Louis in
place of building war vessels; go oi tm-
proving all the rivers; build, a national
court house for the western hemisphere
to settle all troubles by law in place of
war, Set good examples in peace for
all nations of the world.
Yours truly,
JOHN R. GILBERT.

It is a joy and comfort to know that
those much-talked-of pains and other dis

makes pliant the abdominal muscles and
ligaments. They naturally expand without
the slightest strain, and thus not only
banish all tendency to nervous, twitching
spells, but there Is an entire freedom from
nausea, discomfort, sleeplessness and dread
that so often leave their impress upon the

THE “VOX HUMANA” HAS BEEN SOUNDED
By Bishop
TOO LONG AND TOO LOUD
W. A. Candler
Is God a real .person? Is it worth
while for one to care for maintaining
right relations with God? Or, is it
enough for one to try to ameliorate
earthly conditions and regulate human
relations, and call the process thus fol
lowed religious and consider the result
religion? *
These, questions are suggested by the
prevalent tendencies among some
churches to concern themselves with
humane and ethical efforts only.
We have churches (not many, but
some) which, seeing there are very vi
cious dance-halls in certain of our larg
er cities, set up dance-halls of less ob
jectionable character in parish houses,
in order, they say, to reduce the vicious
consequences of the worse establish
ments. It has not been so long ago that
a saloon was opened, at which it was
said pure liquors only would be sold,
with the purpose of lessening the evils
flowing from the ordinary bar-rooms.
Perhaps, if these experiments were suo
cessful, we should see soon the setting
up of places where a sort of pious pil
fering might be conducted under ec
clesiastical auspices with a view to re
ducing larceny and burglary in the com
munity; or, may be, we should have
halls opened in which cases of mild
tyj>es of assault and battery might be
enacted in order to secure the settle
ment of personal grudges without risk
of committing homicide.
Close akin to these mistaken efforts
to cure sinrs by pandering to them are
sundry efforts to substitute schemes for
ameliorating social conditions for the
one business of the church to J'seek and
to save the lost”.
Whatever good may come of all these
things (if any good can come of them)
it must be admitted that they all fall
short of what Jesus proposed as the
aim of his life and the object of his
church. They concern themselves with
things earthly and transient only. They
are superficial processes which reach
only surface matters, and do not so
much as intend to penetrate the con
stitutional disorder of human nature.
They leavb God and our relations to God
entirely out of account, and seek noth
ing further than the bettering of mun
dane conditions.
This was not the way of any of the
great religious leaders and Christian
movements through which the world has
been blest most in former times. The
apostles, Martin Luther, John Konx, Jon
athan Edwards, John Wesley, and
George Whitefield emphasized In their
ministry the rectification of man’s rela
tion to God. The themes which engaged
their attention and were the staples of
their preaching were justification by
faith, the new birth, purity of heart and
life, and the witness of the Holy Spirit
to the acceptance of the soul pardoned
through the atoning mercy of Jesus
Christ. Were all these mighty men of
the past mistaken? Was the spiritual
matters most emphasized by them un
wisely chosen?
Their preaching did set earthly mat
ters right. They did accomplish the re
sults of diminishing drunkenness,
cleansing away licentiousness, and ar
resting dishonesty and violence; but
they achieved all these results by bring
ing men to face God and to seek restora
tion to the divine favour. They did ac
complish the most remarkable things in
the matter of humane enterprises and
social reformations. Augustus Birrell,
the English essayist and statesman,
records the fact that when more than
a hundred years after Wesley’s death
he was visiting a town in Cornwall,
where he observed universal sobriety
and the utter absence of “public
houses’’, (as saloons are commonly call
ed in England.) He asked one of the
citizens to explain the prevalence of
such admirable conditions, and received
the reply, “A man named John Wesley
came this way about a hundred years
ago”. Wesley’s work of evangelism
sems to have been far more effective
for decreasing drunkenness in Cornwall
than Bjshop Potter’s “subway saloon”
for curing dissipation in ..ew York.
- Have we not sounded the “vox hu-
mana” tone too long and too loud In our
day? Is it not time to utter the “vox
dei” note?
If God, is a real person, our relations
to Him ought to be our supreme con
cern. How we stand before Him is of
vastly more importance than how we
stand with our neighbors. By His
judgement we are to stand or fall in this
world and in all .worlds, in time and
eternity.
This poor pottering of some churches
and some preachers at the mere matter
of straightening out earthly relations
and mending a few bad things in hu
man conduct is the outcome of a subtle
scepticism. When the vision of God
is obscured in the minds of professedly
religious people, they invariably fall to
nervous activity in ethical and humane
lines in order to disguise to themselves
their own loss of faith. Uhlhorn in his
excellent treatise entitled “The Conflict
of Christianity With Heathenism”
gives the following most suggestive
and instructive paragraph: “An age
which has become unsettled in its fai.th
is wont to lay all the greater stress
upon morality. Our own age of Illum-
inism, fdr instance—how prone it was
to moralizing. What voluminous com-
pqnds of Ethics, what a flood of moral
sermons, moral tales, moral songs, what
space was given in the catechisms to
lessons on the virtues, of which too
many could not be enumerated! There
was a consciousness that something had
been lost, and at the same time an un
willingness to acknowledge it; a mis
giving that, with faith, morality also
must decline, and desire to prove, at
least by words and looks, that this was
not so. Men would gladly have kept
the fruit although they had cut off the
roots. They had so much to say about
the fruit because they wished to per
suade themselves that this was still
uninjured. But it soon appeared that
with the root the fruit as well was ir
revocably lost”.
Around us today we see similar con
ditions, and we may be sure that sim
ilar failure is before us. To be without
God is to be without hope of any good
thing in the world. Men will not re
gard their fellow-men aright when they
cease to care for how God regards them
selves. Before Pharaoh laid the heav
iest and hardest burdens upon the op
pressed Israelites he said to Moses,
“WHO IS THE LORD that I should
obey his voice and let Israel go?
I KNOW NOT THE LORD, neith
er will I let Israel go”. The
average man will trample upon his
brother’s rights just in proportion as
the divine sanctions of those rights fade
away from his consciousness.
Moreover, the effort to make religion
consist of the mere outward regulation
of human conduct and the humane
amelioration of merely physical condi
tions always results in ghastly hypocrisy
in the end. So it did with the Phari
sees. Losing sight of God, they busied
themselves endlessly with petty details
of theatric piety, in which they made
much of washings and cleansings and
tithings, and utterly neglected the
weightier matters of life and duty.
Then it was that they laid heavy bur
dens upon their fellow-men, devoured
widows’ houses, and thanked God that
they were not as other me^ were. For
all their outward pretences and inward
insincerities Jesus denounced them say
ing, “Woe unto you, scribes, Pharisees,
hypocrites for ye are like unto whited
sepulchres, which Indeed appear beauti
ful outward, but are within full of dead
men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
Even so ye outwardly appear righteous
unto men, but within are full of
hypocrisy and iniquity”. (Matthew
xxiii:27 and 28). And John the Bap
tist, the prophet of the wilderness, de
nounced them with equal sternness be
fore Christ rebuked them so severely.
With no earth-born and earth-bound
motives did John seek to bring them to
repentance; he carried them into
the judgement hall of the Judge Eter
nal, saying, “And now also the axe is
laid at the root of the trees: therefore
every tree which bringeth not forth

HOOF,” Etc.
CHAPTER VI.
A man came toward her from an
opening in a field some distance from
Dr. Hammersho’s house. He wore a
short beard and a dark tweed overcoat.
The overcoat showed signs of contact
with the earth as though he had been*
kneeling behind a hedge or clump of
bushes. Something warned her that
he was a detective.
“Excuse me, madame,” he began. I
notice that you have just left the house
occupied by Dr. Hammersho.”
His manner, although strictly inter
rogative, was devoid of rudeness or vul
garity. Bernice drew a sharp breath.
“I had some business with the doc
tor,” she admitted and was silent.
The detective walked beside her tap
ping his boot reflectively with a -cane
as he fell, into step.
“I suppose Dr. Hammersho is an old
acquaintance,” he went on, “and that
this it not your first visit to his house?”.
‘I have known Dr. Hammersho for
some years. He bore an excelelnt name
in his native land.”
“You knew him then in Japan,
madame?”
‘Yes.” Bernice felt that she must
answer his questions. Her whole fu
ture might depend on the detective’s
yea or nay.
He did not speak for a while, but
seemed lost in the contemplation of a
rook-infested elm at the end of the
road. The cawing of the birds filled
the morning air. Then he looked at
her with a quick stare that almost made
her cry out.
“You were iti Dr. Han^mersho’s com
pany, madame, when he was introduced
to Professor Caleret! How long did
you stay?”
“Only a few minutes. I left them
together.”
“In the laboratory?”
“No; in the reception room. Dr. Ham
mersho wished tb learn something abqpt
the professor’s working methods.”
“You know what happened, madame?”
“Perfectly.”
“Do you, madame,” he paused to meet
her unflinching eyes, “imagine Dr. Ham
mersho capable of wounding or killing
a map?”
“Yes.”
Again the detective became lost in
thought. She had expected a sudden vol
ley of questions. The ensuing silence
merely heightened the tenseness of the
situation. Slowly, very slowly, his eyes
turned upon Imry in her arms. A light
broke the dull gray of his eyes.
“You take an Interest in the little
fellow!” he remarked casually. .
“I came this morning to remove him
from Dr. Hammersho’s custody.”.
“After what has happened you are
not inclined to leave the boy alone with
him again?”
Bernice halted suddenly and met the
detective’s inquiring stare. “I know
nothing of Dr. Hammersho in connec
tion with Professor Caleret’s murder. I
promised the doctor yesterday that I
would take Imry and care for him!”
“You saw another Jap standing near
a beehive in the back garden?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know him?”
“No; he is a stranger to me.”
“Thank you madame!” Raising hisi
hat the detective returned leisurely to
Get Rid of That
Tired Feeling
(Medical News)
“That drowsy, tired, worn-out feeling
which most of us have at the approach
of warm weather comes from the poi
soned impurities in the blood which gen
erally lead to sickness or poor health.
At the first signs of spring a good,
blood-purifying tonic should be taken
I by every member of'the family.
“The expense of making such a tonic
will be small if one gets from the drug
store 1-2 pint alcohol and 1 ounce kar-
clene, then mix these with 1-2 cupful
sugar, adding hot water to make a
quart. A tablespoonful taken before
meals will soon clear the blood of all
impurities, banish pimples and sallow
ness and restore lost appetite and en
ergy. No known remedy is so strength
ening and energizing to a tired, worn-
out system as this old-fashioned body-
regulator. It is one of the best health-
restorers known to medical science.”
(Advt.)
his coign of observation near the Jap
anese doctor’s house.
Bernice did not look back once. She
knew that her future movements would
be under police observation until the
mystery of the laboratory crime was
solved. And once Dr. Hammersho was
identified with the murder her appre
hension would be almost certain. Noth
ing that she could do or say would alter
the law’s attitude toward her. Of the
Japanese doctor’s guilt she now felt
positive. Hammersho had used, her as
an Intermediary. She had made it pos
sible for the head of a criminal gang
ot adventurers to enter Casleret’s house.
There were others hiding in the housfe
with the opium-sated Engleheart per
haps!
Imry dozed in her arms as though he
had not entirely shaken off the effects
of the sleeping draught or powder which
she felt certain had been given him.
At Miss Allingham’s Bernice paused
near the gate to adjust his hastily ar
ranged clothes and to whisper a few
final words of advice.
“You are going to a nice school, dear,
where there are other little boys and
plenty of nice food and cakes to eat—
every day.
“Every day?” Imry appeared vaguely
interested as he stared up at the many
windowed kindergarten with its spacious
lawns and park-like enclosures. “Will
the English boys tease and call me
names?” he asked after a final survey of
the house.
“No, dear; you will find the English
boys nice and gentle. Have you ever
been teased at school?”
“Yes, at Miss Thornycroft’s. When
they knew I came from Japan they
said funny things.”
“Were you ever hungry—at Dr. Ham
mersho’s,, deary?” •
Imry pondered deeply over Bernice’s
question, his brow puckered, his lips
tightened in the e f f °rt to recall the
near. past. Bernice prompted skilfully.
“There were times, dear, when he
left you alone, eh? Who gave you
food then? Were there women to help
you?”
“No, Dr. Harney always put me t<f
bed. Pafa was always sleeping—al
ways.”
“Did he make you drink any mix
tures, deary—Dr. Harney, I mean?”
“Every night out of a spoon,” Imry
confessed glumly. “Shall I have to
drink things out of a spoon—here?”
^‘No, .no, dear! Now kiss me and- I
will take you to Miss Allingham.”
Miss Allingham betrayed some sur
prise at Bernice's early appearance
with Imry. The kindergarten had not
yet breakfasted, but the voices of the
children were plainly heard in the up
stair rooms. The form of entering
Imry’s name in the books was gone
through. Nothing appeared simpler
than providing for a boy’s future at so
short a notice.
At the kindergarten she would be
able to see him at all hours, to take
him for drives in the country and in
dulge him in the hundred little pleas
ures so dear to children of his age.
CHAPTER VII.
After Bernice had gone Dr. Hammer
sho returned to the bedroom overlook
ing the garden. The Jap, seated near
t**e beehive, appeared conscious of th*'
sharp interrogating glances from
above and responded occasionally with
dismal shakes of the head.
“Something has happened,” he stated
in a voice that reached the listening
doctor at the window. “The trick has
miscarried. Comrade Hammersho. We
have the formula, but not the million
eyed god that could sit on a butterfly’s
wing.”
The Jap doctor leaned on the window
sill and with his binoculars scanned
the near hedges and gardens anxiously.
“We must not despair, O Shanl Ma.
There is plenty of time for our little <
messenger to arrive. We must hope
and be patient.” •
“While a vagabond bee gorges at the
neck of some flower and lies drunk in
the morning grass!” O Shani retorted
impatiently. “A foolish scheme of
yours, comrade, this bee adventure. My
blood runs cold. I am developing
white man's nerves through waiting!”
A breahtless silence enveloped the
distant fields and gardens. From hjs
position at the window the Jap doctor
commanded an extensive view of the
countryside. A flock of pigeons wheeled
over the house roof, settling eventually
on the eaves of some farm buildings.
The binoculars appeared to scan each
flower and poppy within the neighboring
gardens. The slightest hum or stir in
the surrounding shrubs or grass brought
the glasses in the direction "of the
sound.
A door opened behind the Jap doctor;
the sound of shuffling feet turned him
from the window sharply. A gaunt
shape with stooping shoulders and
opium-burnt eyes stood undecidedly in
the doorway. Hammersho knit his
brows.
“This Is my private room, Captain
Engleheart. What do you cant?”
“A soft place for my bones, Dr. Ham
mer head, somewhere to lie and rest,
somewhere to sleep without anno-
ances.”
Captain Engleheart shuffled across
the room, his Japanese slippers clapping
the naked boards at each step. His
brooding eyes explored the open window
and the nthe empty cot. The sunken
eyes dilated instantly.
“Irmy gone!” He looked at the Jap
anese doctofi as thought some one had
struck him a blow. “You knew of this,”
he added hoarsely. “She has been
here!”
“It was mercy to deliver the boy to
her,” the doctor asserted. “He will be
cared for. No good would come to Im
ry in our company. We are in a fix,
Captain Engleheart!”

quenchable fire”. (Matthew ill:10, 11,
and 12).
Their worldly theology yielded most
naturally and inevitably the disguised
wickedness of the Pharisees, and the
Baptist brought to bear upon them the
only consideration that by any possi
bility could bring such men to repent
ance. On most of them both he and
JeSus failed. It is hard to bring a man
to repentance who has lost faith in God
and desires nothing better than “a
marketable religion” for earthly pur
poses, which men will approve and ap
plaud.
We have much, of this worldly re
ligion now-a-days, and a worldly re
ligion, out of which God has faded, is
worse than any other form of worldli
ness; it is worse than worldy amuse
ments; it hardens the heart and deludes
the mind. -Its very prayers become
tainted, and from constantly seeking
earthly approval it offers proud self-
gratulation for penitent supplication,
and burns vain incense to itself in place
of giving humble praise to oou.
It Is time this dross were burned
away from us in the fires of a great
revival of religion by which men and
women should be brought back to God.
The cry should be raised again: “Re
pent; for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand.” No other kingdom can be sub
stituted for t»ie kingdom of God. If we
had a world swept of all gross im
moralities, and garnished with all earth-
bound ethics, well fed, well clad, and
housed in the most admirable - fashion,
but without religious faith, it would
still be a godless world*and a hopeless
world. If God is a real and royal i.ar
son, He has some rights of sovereignty
in our world; and men run to their
own ruin' when they refuse to respect
the divine rule.
Preachers are in the world, not to dis
tribute old clothes among naked people
and carry cold victuals to hungry folk,
but to serve as ambassadors of the
Heavenly King, calling men in Christ’s
stead to be reconciled to God.
I Can Make Your Fat
V anish by the Gallon!
I CONQUERED OBESITY PAST MIDDLE-AGE
I Ate Everything I Liked—Went
Through No Exercise—Wore
No Special Clothing—Took
No Weakening Baths!
I Explain My Simple, Speedy Home
Treatment to You—FREE!
I, Lucile Kimball, a married woman past middle-age,
attacked by obesity for years, finally conquer^ the
fat monster. Everything you ever tried, I tried. I
went through exercises, rolled on the floor, cut down
my food, gave up sweets, fats and starches, wore
elastic clothing, tried electricity, massage, osteopathy,
vibration, hot and vapor baths, swallowed pellets, cap
sules and teas—gained as rapidly as I lost—and
so would you with those so-oalled treatments.
For years, my friends have asked me to tell them how I
got rid of fat and kept rid of it. They know that I eat what
I want-go through no exercise other than I get around the
house and office; that I am FREE from obesity, happy, healthy,
supple—and look younger by fifteen years than I actually am!
I was afraid that my Home Treatment might prove tem
porary. I waited months. My fat did not return, and I
waited years, but my fat did not-come back. Still, I post
poned. I tried my Home Obesity Treatment on friends. They
were equally benefited—men and women of all ages. And finally
I decided to reduce the obesity of fat men and women all over
the world.
„ You have figured fat by the pound. Your “methods” and
treatments” have attacked living tissues more than fat. What
did you gain? Nothing! Your fat came back the moment you
stopped your exercise or diet. It did not go if you tried anything
else. But my Home Treatment is not exercise or diet. I say
diet” in its broadest sense—not “starvation diet,” not “excessive
diet,” but diet of any kind.
Eat any kind of meat, vegetables, salads, pastry, fish, fowl, nuts,
candy that you want—when you want it. Drink what you want—
when you want it. I don’t interfere with your food or drink. No
— — . pint, qua
allon. It goes away rapidly. It melts from your cells. You feel
otter—stronger. Beauty returns to women; strength to men.
You never! ’ ' ' ' -- -
only three or four minutes each twenty-four hours to its use.
You Must Not Send Any Money!
Above all else, if you want this Home Obesity Treatment
of mine, write at once. But—don’t send a penny. I will
return it. I want to tell you what this Home Obesity
Treatment is, how It works. I want you to be able to
use It in your own home or boarding house—on the train
—visiting—anywhere. Nobody knows you use It. You
never are asked to write a,testlmonlal. I am a home-body,
