This evil or vacancy will have immediate presence of Dr. J. H. Knowles, Missionary and Rev. J. H. Hunt who has been appointed as submission by Dr. Knowles in his territory. This was done on account of the large territory to be covered by the missionary with so few pastors. Rev. Hunt will report to the missionary and the Board will hold Rev. Knowles responsible for his acts as he was elected by the association. We hope to see them run some successful revivals in the churches mentioned. Rev. Knowles made a good report but the churches failed to send any money to him. Rev. J. H. Stacks, pastor of 12th St., church is doing good work when you take in account the trouble that existed in the church before he was called. The messengers were well cared for by the pastors and members. Notice is hereby given that the Executive Board of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association together with the lastitute will convene with the Unity Baptist church, Brookport Ill., on Thursday before the 2nd Lord's day in May. All members, friends and constituents are earnestly requested to be present Especially the pastors. Be it known that all ministers who are pastoring within the confines of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association are members of the board and should show their interest in the district work by putting in their appearance at every board meeting together with their financial support to help carry on the district work. We hope the pastors will teach their several flocks their duty to the district work as well as to their own church and pastor. Our missionary, our building fund, the old and infirm members of the denomination and the race as well must be seen after and cared for, and this cannot be done by feathering our nest alone. If our chickens be many we must keep all the eggs (hearts) warm, this is a lesson that is being briefly learned by the Mt. Olive and the East Mt. Olive Associations. We had a fine meeting of the board in Dewmaine Illinois. The Mt. Olive Association was ably represented by Drs. J. B. McCrarv, Vice Moderator and J. H Knowles, Missionary, together with a communication from their Moderator Dr. D. Parrish, they desire a closer relation between the two organizations. This is what has been needed upon their part for e'even years. The East Mt. Olive has been that long teaching this grand and noble lesson and we are glad they are entering into the knowledge of he garnered wisdom that has been in store for them all these years the miles of Justice God grind slowly but surely.

Shannon on the corner of 8th and Vienna Sts., Monday March the 23rd where she with the assistance of Miss Carrie Urquhart entertained this august body of ladies to a sumptuous two course luncheon. Miss Rosa Shannon the lovely daughter of Mrs Shannon and Mrs Mayme Upshaw prepared the menu which I am aware was classy. As fortune would have it the Rev. J. B. Davie of Hopkinsville, Ky., and Rev. J. B. McCrary, of this city were present also Miss Myrtle Freeman, of St Louis, Mo. The Drs. as Baptists will do, helped themselves, and I fancy I can see them wrestling with "dat" ham yet. The hostesses sure did serve us in some style because sister Roy Buchanan said so, and he sure did "mow." Rev. Davy gave a very excellent lecture, which was inspiring and appreciated by all, Rev. McCrary gave a short talk also. Come again Revs, you are welcome. The Club had a very interesting business meeting and the finance for the day was large. A short program was rendered which permeated each soul. The Critic in the person of Mrs. Jennie Woods, was there and she ure did make things lively. The Menu:— FIRST COURSE. Weinnies and Ham Sandwiches Pickles, Salmon Salad on Lettuce leaves Coffee, SECOND COURSE Cream Cake. Every one went home highly elated over their visit and will long for the time to come again when Mrs. Shannon and Miss Urquhart will entertain. BELGRADE Our public school taught by Prof Wm Smith closed Friday March 13th. This was Prof. Smith's fifth term and was considered by the board of directors and patrons as a most successful term taught. A sumptuous dinner was spread and a program was rendered in the afternoon. A large number of visitors were present from Metropolis, Brookport also the white school and a number of patrons. Everyone had an enjoyable time. Mrs. Wm Warfield has an attack of the mumps.

A lecturer went to Yonkers with a letter to a Yonkers citizen from a man in New Rochelle and succeeded in getting an engagement. His three-hour lecture proved dull, dry and uninteresting. Next day Mr. Yonkers met Mr. New Rochelle. "What did you mean?" asked Yonkers, "by recommending that lemon lecturer?" "I didn't recommend him." "Well, I just guess you did. I've got your letter right here in my pocket." "Better read it over again—carefully." Mr. Yonkers did. It was purposely noncommittal: "I have heard Mr. B.'s lecture. It is as interesting as it is instructive." "And it wasn't either," said Yonkers. "Then the comparison holds," said New Rochelle—New York World. A GRATEFUL OLD MAN. Mr. W. D. Smith, Ethel.

She expressed her disfavor at his wandering, idle life. "I was not always in this condition, mum," said the tramp. "I came from a good family." "You did?" said the lady. "Might I ask your name?" "Blankleigh," replied the tramp. "Why, that is the name of the people that live next door!" exclaimed the lady. "I know it," replied the tramp. "They kicked me downstairs just before I came here!" Rebutting a Libel. John D. Rockefeller, talking to a Cleveland clergyman, said one day, with a whimsical but rather sad smile: "From the stories that are told about my love of money and my disregard for humanity you'd think I was some such monster as the criminal of the anecdote. "A judge once said to a terrible criminal: "And you actually had the heart to murder this poor man for a matter of 50 cents." "Well, your honor,' said the criminal, with an injured-innocence air, 'well, your honor, what do you expect?' Fifty cents here and fifty cents there—it soon mounts up." NO GUSHER But Tells Facts About Postum. A Wila. lady found an easy and safe way out of the lils caused by coffee. She says: "We quit coffee and have used Postum for the past eight years, and drink it nearly every meal. We never tire of it. "For several years previous to quitting coffee I could scarcely eat anything on account of dyspepsia, bloating after meals, palpitation, sick headache—in fact was in such misery and distress I tried living on hot water and toast. "Hearing of Postum I began drinking it and found it delicious. My alliments disappeared, and now I can eat anything I want without trouble. "My parents and husband had about the same experience. Mother would often suffer after eating, while yet drinking coffee. My husband was a great coffee drinker and suffered from indigestion and headache. "After he stopped coffee and began Postum both ailments left him. He will not drink anything else now and we have it three times a day. I could write more but am no gusher—only state plain facts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Write for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be well boiled, 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—is a soluble powder. A aesopoucell dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly, 29c and 59c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.

Must Receive the Best of Attention to Be at Its Best—With Aspic Jelly It Makes a Delicious Combination. According to the way it is cooked, the same ham can be made into two different things. It can be juicy, sweet and tender—or hard, dry and tough. It should be thoroughly cooked, whether it is baked or boiled. If it is to be eaten cold and is boiled, it should be cooled in the liquid in which it was cooked. The boiling should be slow, so that the ham will be tender, but will not fall to pieces the moment a knife is put to it. Baked ham is more troublesome to prepare than boiled ham, perhaps, but it is better. Here is a recipe for baked ham with cider sauce. Soak a whole ham for the night in cold water. In the morning remove it from the water. Mix flour and water into a thick paste and put this over the lean part of the ham. This is to keep in all the juices, so that the meat must be thoroughly and thickly covered. Bake in a moderate oven 25 minutes for every pound. Then take off the skin and the paste covering and cover the ham with bread crumbs. Brown in the oven and serve with this sauce: Boffi two cups of cider for five minutes, and then add two teaspoonfuls of chopped celery, a bay leaf, two whole cloves and six crushed peppercorns. Reduce the cider to a cupful and serve. Aspic jelly can be used in many ways with ham to produce delicious combinations. An easy way to make aspic jelly is to use any sort of clear meat stock you may have on hand. Flavor it with herbs and spices and for every quart add an ounce of gelatin. Ham jelly, made with aspic, is prepared in this way: Chop the remains of cold boiled ham, freed from fat and gristle, and then pound them to a paste. Measure this and to each cupful add half a teaspoonful of dry mustard, two teaspoonfuls of butter, a little cayenne pepper, half a cup of whipped cream and half a cup of cool, liquid aspic. Pour in small molds. These little molds of jelly can be served with mayonnaise dressing on lettuce leaves. The jelly can be molded in a large mold and sliced to serve in place of cold meat. Veal and Mushrooms. Put a tablespoonful of butter into a saucepan, and when melted add a tablespoonful of cornstarch, stirring until well mixed. Pour slowly into it one-half pint of milk. Stir and cook until smooth, seasoning with a pinch of salt and a few shakes of pepper. Now put into the sauce two cupfuls of cold, seasoned veal cut into neat cubes and one cupful of mushrooms, quartered. Heat over hot water five minutes, remove from the fire, add quickly a well-beaten egg and a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Serve on toast and garnish with toast points. Care of Brooms. If brooms are dipped in a pail of auds for a few minutes once a week it will make them tough and pliable and they last much longer. If one keeps a pair of the cotton gloves used by the woodsmen near the stove to slip on when putting wood on the fire they will save many a burned finger. If one has to get in wood try making an apron of a burlap bag; tie on as any apron and take the bottom in your hand and fill with wood and see how much lighter the work will be. Rice With Tomato and Cheese Pick over and wash one-half cupful of rice. Place in the upper part of a double boiler with three cupfuls of boiling water and boil five minutes. Add one cupful of tomato purée, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one teaspoonful of chopped onion and green pepper, cooked until soft in two tablespoonfuls of butter. Cook in the double boiler, without stirring, until the rice is soft, then add one-half cupful of grated cheese. Stir with a fork and serve as soon as the cheese is melted. Lamb Kidneys With Bacon. Split six kidneys in halves and remove the thin outer skin. Fry six slices of bacon until crisp. Remove them from the fat and keep hot. Dip the kidneys in flour and brown quickly on both sides in the bacon fat. When brown add hot water to nearly cover, a tablespoon of table sauce, and cook for five minutes, keeping them just below the boiling point. Serve on a hot platter, with the bacon as a garnish. Duchess Potatoes. To two cups hot riced potatoes add two tablespoons butter, one-half teaspoon salt and yokes of three eggs slightly beaten. Shape, using pastry bag and tube, in forms of pyramids, leaves, roses, etc. Brush over with beaten egg diluted with one teaspoon water and brown in hot oven. Table Protected A piece of wax paper placed under the centerpiece on a polished table will prevent the linen from adhering to the table in hot weather, as well as prevent a stain from cold water or an overfilled vase or rose bowl. Nut Custard. To make a nut custard make the custard in the usual way and add chapped nuts, any of your favorites, and when you serve the custard add tidbits and you will say it is good. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, IL. You Look Prematurely Old WHAT AN OHIOAN HAS TO SAY ABOUT CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CANADA W. E. Lewis formerly lived near Dayton, Ohio. He went to Saskatchewan seven years ago with $1,800 in money, a carload of household effects and farm implements, including four horses and three cows. Of course, the first year he only got feed from the crops, but the second year had 100 acres in wheat which made over 2,800 bushels. He has not had a failure in crop, and at present has 22 head of horses, 15 head of cattle and 35 hogs, and owns 1,120 acres of land, all under cultivation. He has been offered $35 an acre for his land, and should he care to dispose of his holdings he could pay all his debts and have $30,000 to the good; but, as he says, "Where could I go to invest my money and get as good returns." He continues in his letter to the immigration department. August, 1912: "We have equally as good if not better prospects for crops this year as we had three years ago, when our wheat ranged from 30 to 48 bushels per acre. I never believed such crops could be raised until I saw them myself. I had 15 acres that year that made 50 bushels to the acre. Our harvest will be ready by the 12th. We have this season in crop 400 acres of wheat, 125 of oats, 90 of flax and run three binders with four men to do the stocking. We certainly like this country and the winters, although the winters are cold at times, but we do not suffer as one would think. What we have accomplished here can be duplicated in almost any of the new districts."—Advertisement. Take Your Choice of Morals. Escape of a student who fell down the Lutschine gorge in the Alps but was caught on a rock and remained suspended for two days and nights, recalls to the London Chronicle another Grundelwald escape of which Leslie Stephen tells. Returning from the chalet above the Elsmeer, one of Stephen's guides, Michel, reached the edge of a cliff where a wooded rail guarded the path. Unfortunately the rail left off prematurely, and Michel had been drinking. So he stepped over and fell on hard rock nearly 100 feet below. He lay there all night and morning got up and walked home, sober and whole. Stephen submits two morals for choice; "Don't get drunk when you have to walk along the edge of an Alpine cliff," and "Get drunk if you are likely to fall over an Alpine cliff." ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED Kingsville, Mo.—"My trouble began eighteen years ago. Nearly half of the time there were running gores around my ankle; sometimes it would be two years at a time before they were healed. There were many nights I did not sleep because of the great suffering. The sores were deep running ones and so sore that I could not bear for anything to touch them. They would burn all the time and sting like a lot of bees were confined around my ankle. I could not bear to scratch it, it was always so sensitive to the touch. I could not let my clothes touch it. The skin was very red. I made what I called a cap out of white felt, blotting paper and soft white cloth to hold it in shape. This I wore night and day. "I tried many remedies for most of the eighteen years with no effect. Last summer I sent for some Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The very first time I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment I gained relief; they relieved the pain right then. It was three months from the time I commenced using Cuticura Soap and Ointment until the sores were entirely healed. I have not been troubled since and my ankle seems perfectly well."

Ever feel that you can go no further—that you must have rest for that lame and aching back—relief from that constant, dead-tired feeling? Have you suspected your kidneys? Kidney disease shows itself in backache, nervous troubles and disorders of the kidney secretions. If tired, worried, lame, rheumatic, dizzy and nervous don't let a possible weakness of the kidneys escape attention until it turns into a case of gravel, drops or Bright's disease. Sick kidneys go from bad to worse. Their useful work of filtering the blood is only partly done. Poisons that should be passed out with the kidney secretions are held in the blood, circulating freely, attacking muscles, nerves and vital organs. The kidneys inflame, swell and throb, and that is the cause of sharp pains in the back, or that dull, constant heavy ache. For quick help use Doan's Kidney Pills. No other kidney remedy is used and recommended so generally. Take them when you feel the first bad backache, or see the first disturbance of the kidney secretions.

DRUG HOUSE ENJOINED BY FEDERAL COURT Judge Jeremiah Neterer, of the United States district court, to-day granted a permanent injunction in behalf of the Gentaur Company of New York, the manufacturers of Fletcher's Castoria, against the Stewart & Holmes Drug Company of this city. The controversy arose from the simulating of the labels of this well-known preparation, and from the evidence filed in the case it was shown that the infringing label was first discovered on sale in Honolulu, and was traced to its origin here in Seattle. The defendant company is one of the oldest and largest concerns of its kind in the Northwest. The decree carries with it an order that the Stewart & Holmes Company recall the goods which are on the market under the infringing label, and to pay all costs in the suit and damages assessed at $400—Seattle, Wash., "Times."—Adv. Youthful human nature is much the same the world over. Here is the story told of the eleven-year-old son of a Philippine head-hunter, recently brought to San Francisco by a returning missionary.

"So you know baseball?" one questioner remarked. "What do you call the umpire?" The boy hesitated, and the missionary encouraged him. "Tell the gentleman what you call the umpire, my boy!"

Fifth St. Mendota, Ill., says: "Kidney trouble took hold of me about twenty-two years ago, the first symptom he paints across the small my neck. Think the complaint was caused by hard work and heavy lifting. I gradually got worse until I was work for weeks as a time and I was laid up in bed. I was treated by prominent phys- icians, but they didn't help me and they added this. I was getting worse and I was thin, worn out and nervous and was expected to die at any time. The kidney secrections passed too frequently when a friend told me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. I noticed improvement as soon as too much gravel stones were before I passed several gravel stones. I gained in weight and was sured. I can now work every day without the least trouble." Name PILLS DOANS KIDNEY PILLS N.Y.
