OVERALL CLUB
Advises Ladies To Join —
Last Meeting Os
Series Tonight
The congregation at the First
Methodist church church last night
was surprisingly large as crowds go
in mid-week services. There were
several accessions to the church.
Rev. Guyton Fisher’s talk was on
“Hiding From God,” using the text,
“Where art thou?” He tried to as
sist the congregation in finding out
where they were morally. In his
introduction he called attention to
excuses for not coming to meeting,
and in a facetious vein alluded to the
excuse of Adam and Eve that they
had no clothes. He said he was heart
ily In favor of “Overall Clubs” and
hoped the society ladies would join.
He gave hearty praise to the people
who had helped in the personal work,
declaring that to them was due the
credit for the good that had been
done.
In response to a proposition to be
a worker in the future and not a
shirker, a helper and not a hoo-doo,
practically all the congregation arose,
and the remainder of the audience
arose on a second proposition saying
they wanted God to help them. It
was one of the best services held.
The preacher urged the people to
stand by in the last service which is
tonight, and round out the meeting
with the same encouraging features
that have marked it all the way.
Buenos Aires is one of tthe fastest
growing cities of the world. The
census of 1914 showed 1,575,800 in
habitants, and it is now estimated to
be over 2,000,000.
The population of the Azores is
about 245,000, the number of its in
habitants having changed bl t little
in the last century, and, if anything,
having diminished.
WHYBEDULL
AND LANGUID
THIS SPRING?
“Spring Fever” Is Natural, But
Not Necessary—lt’s Due
To Sluggish Blood
KEEP FEELING
YOUR HAPPIEST
Purify and Tone Up Your Blood
With That Famous Tonic
Pepto-Mangan
Do you seem unable to do any
work, to concentrate, to take any in
terest in things, during the wonder
ful Spring days? Do you feel just
useless and “no account”?
Nothing is really the matter, except
that, as happens every Spring, your
blood is clogged—it is sluggish with
poisons from its long Winter fight.
In time, your blood will probably
adjust itself. But meanwhile you
fret and worry, feel unhappy—and
accomplish nothing. Why do it, when
it is easy to clear up your blood by
taking Pepto-Mangan for a while?
For thirty years, doctors have been
recommending this effective and
agreeable tonic to purify and build
up the blood of run-down, listless
people.
Feel your best. Have a fine color,
and spring in your step. Be vigor
ous, happy, red-blooded. Get a bottle
of Pepto-Mangan today. The near
est druggist has it, and in either li
quid or tablet form, just as you pre
fer. There’s no difference in medici
nal value.
But be sure you get the genuine
Gude’s Pepto-Mangan. Ask for it by
that name—“Gude’s Pepto-Mangan,”
and be sure the full name is on the
package. adv
Buy Your Coal Direct
From Mine—Big Saving
The high cost of coal is a thing of
th® past! At least, there are no
complaints on this account—since the
emoval of government restrictions
-among those who have learned how
, buy coal. The way to buy coal is
get it direct from the mines. This
ve.s several middlemen’s profits. It
ives hauling expenses. Anyone can
.ow.buy at mine prices, whether a
carload buyer or one who uses only
ten or fifteen tons a year. This has
been made possible through a plan
evolved by a large and old-establish
ed concern THE BERNICE COAL
COMPANY, with main offices at 445
Como Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands of
customers in various sections of the !
United States who receive all of I
their coal direct from the mines. I
These customers are pleased not on
ly because of the many dollars they !
■■ve every year, but also because of
the quality of coal they are getting.
Many write that they never before i
had coal that makes so little dust, that I
bums so well, leaving so few ashes.
If you are a coal user—whether you
use hard or soft coal, much or little—
it will be greatly to your advantage
to write the Bernice Coal Co. at
once for prices, stating kind and
quantity of coal you use. (

Told Here by Dr. Geisel
o ■ ■■ ■
“An Apostle of Health" is the title
bestowed on Dr. Carolyn Geisel of
Battle Creek, Mich., who will lecture
at the Redpath Chautauqua here on
low to Be Young at 70 or Old at

t In an interesting manner she makes
' sincere, enthusiastic, logical appeal
to tne members of her audier.:e to
keep their bodies healthy, and she
gives helpful, practical suggestions to
aid them in so doing. Her lecture
aims not to supplant the physician,
but to supplement him.
Dr. Geisel is a magnetic, dynamic,
lecturer. “A perfect dynamo of pow-
I er” and “The biggest little woman in
I the world” are some of the tributes
i accorded to her as a speaker.
I Dr. Geisel returned to this country
’ from a long lecture tour in Australia
just in time to go on the big Redpath
circuit this spring.

MAKES CALOMEL
DELIGHTFUL
Calomel, the Most Valuable of
Drugs, Now Purified From Its
Nausea and Danger—“Calc
tabs” the New Name.
The medicinal virtues of calomel
are in no way connected with its nau
seating and dangerous qualities as is
proven by the fact that the new calo
mel tablet, called Calotabs, is free
from objectionable effects yet retains
all of the ilver-cleansing and system
purifying qualities of the old-style
calomel. For biliousness, headaches,
constipation and indigestion, and
wherever calomel is essential, the
new denauseated calomel tablet is a
nractically perfect laxative.
To inspire public confidence in this
new discovery, the manufacturers
have authorized druggists everywhere
to refund the price, if the customer
is not “perfectly delighted” with
Calotabs. Sold only in original pack
ages, sealed. Price thirty-five cents.
One tablet at bedtime with a swallow
of water. No taste, no nausea, no
griping, no salts. You wake up in
the morning with a clean liver, feel
ing fine, and a hearty appetite for
breakfast. Eat what you please—no
danger. adv
PRESIDENT NOT ;
‘BITTER ENDER’
i
California Democrats
Still See Him Party
Nominee
WASHINGTON, April 14.—Presi- .
■ dent Wilson is not an “irreconcil
able” or “bitter ender” on the peace
treaty and the league of nations as j
he has been pictured by many, ac
cording to a Washington Post news- 1
paper article reaching here. It it
wrilten by Robert T. Small, an At- i
lantan who has risen rapidly in the
newspaper world and is now a spe-
i cial writer on the Washington Post. I
“There will be no going against
the President's wishes at. San Fran-*
cisco. As a plain matter of fact, the
Democrats say, there has been for
sometime a gross misrepresentation
of the President’s position with re
spect to the treaty. He has not
been holding out for ratification
without the crossing of a “t” or the
dotting of an “i” although he un
doubtedly would have preferred to
■ have it so if such a consummation
had been possible” comments Mr.
' Small.
“President Wilson has been pic
tured as standing as irreconcilable
,at one end of the avenue as the
“death’s head” senators have stood
'at the other. But President Wil
i son plainly let it be known toward
! the end of the struggle that he had
■no objection to reservations which
■ were not calculated absolutely to
I nullify the treaty.”
“The atmosphere has cleared con-
I siderably during the last few days
I as to the official attitude the Demo
-1 cratic party will take toward the
I treaty of Versailles as a campaign
I issue. As a result of a number o'
quiet conferences among the national
committeemen and other leaders, it
has become virtually certain that the
San Francisco convention will de
clare for the ratification of the
treaty with ‘reasonable’ reservations.
The leaders believe now there will
be no serious difference of opinion
in the matter. President Wilson will
cordially approve the plan,” writes
Mr. Small.

BEWAREOF
LAXATIVES
If You Arc Constipated and Have
Malaria In Your System
Read The Following
The only way to overcome consti
pation and the resultant ills is to get
■ your liver in good working order. By
taking just laxatives you do not touch
the liver. One man of our acquain
tance was a sufferer from constipa
tion for years. He had taken salts,
oil, pills and various laxatives until
his skin was like parchment. The man
actually looked twenty years older
than he was. He had gotten in such
shape that he never had a natural
bowel movement and even the
various laxatives that he was using
had to gradually be increased to get
any effect.
He was never well and yet could,
T asked, point to no special illness.
He was a victim of general ills—all
caused from one trouble—if he had
lat known it. It took only one bot
-1 of PLANK’S BLOOD MEDICINE
to give this man a new lease on life
j and after six bottles he is now as
; fat, rosy and health as he was when
!he was a boy. The secret of his won
derful recovery is in the action of
| this scientific preparation on the liv
ler and blood. He never takes a lax
j ative now and the bowels are regu
lar. The digestion is good. The lin
ing of the stomach and bowels are
; now able to absorb nourishment from
j the food which had been passing out
of the body unassimilated.
This grave condition was due to
LAXATIVES which do not ASSIST
I NATURE, but instead sap the life
I from the walls of the stomach and
bowels.
PLANK’S BLOOD MEDICINE is
; now carried by Nathan Murray,
druggist, and all good drug stores.

JN OLD RECIPE
TO DKH Hftlfl
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.
i
Almost everyone knows that Sage
. Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
I lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make It at home,
’ i which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sul
t phur Compound.” You will get a large
. bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does It so naturally
’ and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
; soft’•brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
i strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
j plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth’s Sage
’ and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
j the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease. ®
