A Low Rating in Prospect
Little Mil fred is in her first term
at school where she gets reports as
to her standing marked on a deci
mal scale. One hundred is perfect
and sixty is pretty serious. The
other night while saying her even
ing prayers, her spirits, always high,
were actually irrepressible, and' her
petition was punctuated with snick
ers and smothered giggles.
"Do you think the Lord will
like that kind of arrayer?" asked
mother reproachfully.
"Nope," returned Mildred glibly.
"Not much! He'll gimme 'bout
sixty A"that!"'
A Good Selection. -
Mr.' C. E. Qaarles has been .elec
ted superintendent of the Sunday
School that is conducted in . the Mill
Chapel every Sunday afternoon.
He will make an excellent leader,
and we congratulate the members
of the school for securing him.
For nearly twenty years Mr. Quailes
was superintendent of the Red Hill
Sunday-School, severing his connec
tion only when he removed, from
that section several months ago.
Episcopal Service.
Rev. Royal G. Shannonhouse
preached in the Episcopal church on
Sunday morning to a large congre
gation including a large body of
students. The service throughout
was most interesting and edifying,
the sermon being based on the
jscriptaie,> '-'-Now when they had
seen the boldness of Peter and John,
and perceived that they were un
learned and ignorant men they mar
velled, an3 they took knowledge of
them, that they had ^been with
Jesus. ': The discourse was an expo
sition of the contrast between world
ly and Christian wisdom, and the
climax clearly convinced that spirit
ual discernment or Christian wis
dom is the broader and more com
prehensive, and therefore to be
sought after. A*most beautiful vocal
solo was rendered by Mrs. Shannon
house, with organ accompaniment
by Mrs. J. R. Tompkins.
Mr. Shannonhouse welcomed the
students and the members of the
congregation of other denomina
tions a large number of whom were
present, and stated that in the near
future a special service would be ar
ranged for the students and visitors,
more adapted to their custom of1 wor
ship. It was also announced that the
customary beautiful Easter service
would be observed on April 16th,
for which preparations are already
being made.

Her Real Reason.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the gov
ernment's food expert, was discuss
ing in Washington the fall in the
price of meat.
"The rea: DOS given for this fall
are ludicrous," said Dr. Wiley*
"They are as ludicrous as the young
woman's reason for avoiding tight
lacing.
"Is tight lacing unwise?" her
teacher asked this young woman in
a physiology lesson. '
"Fes, it is very unwise," was the
reply.
Why is it ..unwise?" the teacher
pursued.
"Because it busts the corset,"
said the young woman,-Nashville

Happy Resident of
the Sunflower State
Mrs. Helen A. Mauer, whoee like
ness^ is reproduced herewith, is a
resident of Hays City, Kan., and
about the happiest woman in the
Sunflower stase. Mrs. Mauer has re
cently regained her^ health af te* a
long period of illness, in apprecia
tion of which she' has given a state
ment for publication, as follows:
For eight years I suffered from
"stomach and kidney trouble, from
which I was unable to obtain relief.
I treated with several doctors and
tried many advertised remedies,
with disappointing results. My
health declined until: I became a
physical wreck, with my vitality ex
hausted and my nervous system
broken down.
"My husband, becoming impress
ed with an advertisement of the
Cooper remedies, proposed that I
try Coopers New Discovery. I had;
lost faith in \ everything, but)con-'
sented to do so. Much to my sur
prise it helped me, and I began to
improve from th? day I took, the
first dose.
"Now, after having taken the full
treatment, I feel like a different wo
man,- no more headaches," backache
or dizziness. I am strong and well.
That tired feeling is completely
gone, and a pain I have had in my
stomach for the past six months has
disappeared. Cooper's New Discov
ery is simply wonderful."
We sell Cooper's New Discovery.
Thousands of grateful people
throughout the country have testi
fied, to its marvelous curative prop
erties. Let us explain to you the na
ture of this remarkable stomach
