NOTICE
To the Baptist women of the State of Illinois, after extending to yo my congratulations and greetings for tee New Year 1915, this little note tomes to you from the General Missionary Baptist State Association of Illinois, through her corresponding secretary, informing you that we feel very keenly the mistake we made last October by not notifying and organizing the Women's department of our State Association. But, since the mill never grinds with water that is passed, we will forget those things are passed, and press forward to the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Since the organization of the General Missionary Baptist State Association at Mt. Vernon, Illinois, October 1914 it has been my pleasure to travel from one end of the state to other, and we find that the women of our Baptist Zion are getting their eyes open to the fact, that we need a real sure enough Woman's General Missionary Baptist State Association. And since it is, and always has been my disposition to give honor to whom honor is due, I wish to take time and space enough right here, to dash one bequest if no more, at our original president of Women's State Convention in the person of sister K. L. Cosby. She gave me her word while I was in Chicago, November last, that she was a Baptist, not in name only, but in reality, and cast her lot with them who proved that they were earnestly contending for the Faith, first delivered to the saints. Now, that sister Cosby, and her like-minded Baptist sisters may have an opportunity to help us to earnestly tontend for the Eaith; at our State meeting when convened next May 1915, at Centralia; when we will organize a Women's General Missionary Baptist State Association.
Great preparation is being made for that great coming meeting next May, at Centralia Illinois. We are looking for our Baptist women from the North, from the West and from the East, our Baptist women in (this) the Southern part of the state, are wateeing the possession of our Baptist Zion, while the ministers and deacons and laymen are fighting and contending for the Faith once delivered to the saints, and instead of this host of Baptist women fainting at the clouds that have been darkening the havens since last June, in the hottest battle, and the darkest hour, these women have been heard sining to Dr. S. Phillips, Dorsey, McWilliams, Starks, Allison, Knowles, Parrish, Armstead, and others who are taking care of, and cultivating this Baptist (State) field, and their song is Hod the fort for we are coming, and John F. Thomas will be in the chair, and all of us Baptist women, sisters? Cosby, Anderson, Bates, Phillips, Bledsoe, O'Conner and others will be there in May. By the grace of God we will there.
I am yours for the Women's Generals Missionary Baptist State Association of the state of Illinois.
Corresponding Secretary
of the Genr'l. Missionary Baptist State
Association of the State of Illinois.
MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE. LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEV MAY "
CHRISTIAN LIKE SALT.
What is a life like whose influence can be and is compared to energetic salt?
When Jesus Christ spoke the words, "Ye are the salt of the earth" He had just finished describing such a character. Then to understand what the lite whose salt has its savor we must trace some of this linaments of the persons character which acts upon the common life like excellent salt.
First of all life which is like good salt is life with a big ideal. When the Jewish people returned from their exile in Babylon, they set about to rebuild their city and we find that every builder carried a trowel and a sword. The trowel was to build with and the sword to fight the enemy or those who would hinder the work. Thus their life was filled with a big ambition or ideal, something to do. Not only to save the world. It is this ambition to save the world for Jesus and thus build up the Holy City which is the biggest ambition that can possess the souls of man, and this the greatest ambition of the salted life.
A healthy life demands a big ambition. A big ambition not preserves a life but makes a life preservative. Hence the similarity to the use of salt.
Second life that is like excellent salt is a life that gives adequate consideration to the great ideal or ambition. In a salt life that is the life with a big ideal a man or a woman puts everything he possesses into it. He puts his time, his energies, his ideas and his money into it. Our money helps to make our ideas into deeds now we may get a glimpse of the signigance of the words of Jesus about the salt that has lost its savor. "Whoever he be of you that forsakes not all he hath cannot be my disciple." If we cannot give a sufficient amount of time, enery, and our possession to foster the great ambition and ideals of every christian-which is to be built up the Holy city by saving the common wealth we have forsaken all we have and are not therefore followers of Christ.
The salt life has a big ambition, a big deal and it also has an adequate consecration to that ideal.
There is also to my understanding a third characteristic which I will name. The salted life is a life of blessed companionsep with the Lord. There is a two fold peril in the possession of a big ideal or ambition First, there is danger of being crushed by the vastness of the ideal. Second, Ideal too, may lose its lustre and all inspiration. There is such a thing as faded ideals. We often hear people speak of the great work they did years ago, probably when they were in their former home state; having moved away they permit their ideals their ambition to lose its lustre and there the the salt or ambition ideal, has lost its savor or lustre. The life that is truly salted follows Jesus Christ and nothing or no one else.
Now we can understand a life that has lost its savor. It has lost the companionship of the Lord. Religion has only an occasional interest. It has also lost the spirit of sacrifice-hence the excuses they give. And lastly the followers have lost the great ideal of a christian life. We never retain an ideal for which we make no sacrifice. Ideals always fade if they are stingily fed. They are like lamps without a sufficient amount of oil in a home. Read before the W. E. & M. Society Future City, 3-21, 1915.
The Multitude of Littles.
MRS. CANDEZ BELL.
Mrs. President, friends and visitors I greet you all with a paper which the subject is The Multitude of Littles
There is no pleasure like the pleasure of doing good. Oh the joy of being instrumental in leading some poor sinner from the error of his ways. How much of our work perishes? How much there will be in a year's time?
When we think of we will wish we had not spent any money or time or labor upon it, but no one will regret the work he has done for God and for his fellow creatures, no one will ever regret any sacrifice of money or of time expended in restoring the poor prodigal and leading in the way of righteousness. Those who have eured and strayed from it let us all try and do something and do something and do not let us be deterred from doing anything because we can only do a little.
The Great Ocean is made up of little drops. Your great army was made up of single men and if one man had said I wont enlist because I am only one, where would your army have been? your union and your universal liberty.
The most beneficent agencies that visit our physical world come in little things
The rain that fertilizes the earth in what little drops it comes and so God compares with these the inestimable blessings of grace and my doctrine shall distill as the dew.
My speech shall come down as the rain the small rain upon the tender herbs as the showers upon the grass. Do not despise the day of small things.
Our influence if not exerted for what is good may be exerted for what is bad, and our little influence may go to augment thy greatness of something that is bad, as well as of that which is good. We may not be table ourselves to do some great things, but we may put forth a little effort toward accomplishing a great result which is achieved only, by the multiplication of little ones.
So by our neglect we may do a little toward the propagation of enormous evil.
I am anxious to say I hope the young boys and girls may see while in their youth and become deeply impressed with the value of education in relation to those occupations outside of the learned profession and that they may see
that fully as much honor may be attached. So that the boys who want to follow agricultural employment has just a good right to claim a thorough education as the boy who is ambitious to become a lawyer, a physician or a clergyman and let them think they must begin with little just as the great men did. Paul was a tentmaker, John Bunyan was a tinker, Benjamin Franklin wrought in a soap and candle factory, Daniel Webster held the plow, Abraham Lincoln was a wood chopper and General Garfield toiled on a canal boat. It is always honorable to do honest work.
Honor and shame from no condition rise, act well your part there all the honor lies.

IS DEAD
That preacher who promised to send us some money while at the Board in Future City on Monday or Tuesday of last week if he lived. We failed to get it. He's dead.
We are planning to place some accounts of our back subscribers in the hands of a collector. To save costs pay up at once. Having the postmaster mark refused will not pay the bill as some of our dishonest patrons have endeavored to do. We give you valuable and prompt service and we must have our money. If you don't want the paper pay up promptly and ask us to stop it like a man or woman.—Editor.

A Wrong Impression.
A German looking for a person by the name of Dunn, who owed him money, asked a young fellow near Swenry's eating house where No. 66 Chatham street was, as he "wished to find Mr. Dunn."
The fellow told him to go into Swenry's eating house and the man near the window was Mr. Dunn. The German went into the eating house and went up to a man who happened to be an Irishman.
"Are you Dunn?" said the German.
"Dunn?" said Pat. "By my soul I have faith started." — Philadelphia Restored
New Cancer Serum
The results of the work of nearly a yearly physicians, surgeons and laboratory staff of the General Memorial hospital of New York, tending to show the success of a new cancer serum, are expected to be published soon in an official report of the medical board of the institution to announcements made today. The report will contain the name of the discoverer of the new serum, its composition, the details of the preliminary laboratory work and the individual medical histories of the patients so far treated in the hospital. The announcements forecast this report as one of the most important contributions to science emanating from the medical profession in this country. The serum is used by injection. The cancerous growths break down, disintegrate and disappear, it is asserted.
STRENGTH.
Without Overloading The Stomach.
The business man, especially, needs food in the morning that will not overload the stomach, but give mental vigor for the day:
Much depends on the start a man gets each day as to how he may expect to accomplish the work on hand. He can't be alert with a heavy, fried-meal and potatoes breakfast, requiring a lot of vital energy in digesting it.
A Calif. business man found a food combination for producing energy. He writes:
"For years I was unable to find a breakfast food that had nutrition enough to sustain a business man without overloading his stomach, causing indigestion and kindred ailments.
"Being a very busy and also a very neryous man, I had about decided to give up breakfast altogether. But luckily I was induced to try Grape-Nuts.
"Since that morning I have been a new man; can work without tiring, my head is clear and my nerves strong and quiet.
"I find that Grape-Nuts, with a little sugar and a small quantity of cold milk, makes a delicious morning meal, which invigorates me for the day's business."

IN THE BELGIAN BREAD LINE
Pathetic Scenes When the Life-Saving Rations Are Distributed to War Sufferers.
Most appetizing that soup prepared under direction of the best chefs in Brussels. The meat and the green vegetables in it were Belgian and the peas American. Steaming hot, in big cans it was sent to the communal centers, where lines of people with pots, pitchers and pails waited to get their daily allowance. A democracy was in that bread line such as I have never seen anywhere except at San Francisco after the earthquake. Each person had a blue or a yellow ticket, with numbers to be punched, like a commuter. The blue tickets were for those who had proved to the communal authorities that they could not pay; the yellow for those who paid five centimes for each person served. A flutter of blue and yellow tickets all over Belgium and, in return, life! With each serving of soup went a loaf of American brown bread. The faces in the line were not those of people starving—not yet. They would have been if America had not sent wheat and flour. There was none of the emaciation which pictures of famine in the Orient have made familiar; but they were pinched faces, bloodless faces, the faces of people on short rations.—Frederick Palmer, in Collier's Weekly.

KNIFE FIT FOR GIANT.
A New England mechanic recently completed a knife large enough to serve as a pencil sharpener for Jack the Giant Killer. When open the knife is 6 feet 7 inches long from tip to tip of the opposite blades. When closed it measures 3 feet $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches. It is $6\frac{1}{4}$ inches wide and weighs 49 pounds and 2 ounces. The maker of this unique knife, the blades of which are of tool steel and the tips an inlaid name plate of German silver, completed his unusual task after four years. He made the knife entirely by hand during his spare time. He also has made very small knives.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER TO FLUSH THE KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for Backache or Bladder Trouble—Neutralize Acids.
Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real stick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, slack headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table-spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.—Adv.

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, Practice Due Economy, and Adopt Reasonable Methods Are Sure to Prosper.
Those who are interested in developing the agricultural resources of Western Canada in bringing to the notice of those whom they desire to take part in this development present only the facts. There has never been given the impression that farming in Western Canada could be carried on without effort or labor, but it has been successfully stated that better results can be secured with less outlay of capital, either in money or labor, than anywhere else on the continent. This has been proven time and time again. Hundreds of cases could be cited where men have taken up farms, either a homestead, or purchased from railways or land companies, and with little capital at the start have acquired a competence, have established good homes for themselves, and provided a sure future. They have comfortable homes and all their surroundings are comfortable, speak of the reward that their thrift has accomplished.
Carl Dickan, of Russian Poland lived in Pittsburgh, Pa., for fourteen years, and saved up $900. In 1903 he took the $900 with him to Alberta. His own story is that he bought a quarter section, for which he agreed to pay $1,200. "In 1904 I had thirty acres of crop, threshed 900 bushels. In 1909 I bought another quarter. I now have one hundred acres under cultivation, and have never had a crop failure. Have threshed forty-seven bushels of wheat per acre, but the average has been about forty. My oats for the eleven years that I have been here averaged forty-seven bushels to the acre. I now have 9 horses, 47 head of cattle, 33 hogs, which I consider worth $3,600. I have a thousand dollars worth of farm implements and my land is worth $8,000. This is all clear of debt. I have every reason to consider this a first-class mixed farming, dairying and poultry raising country, as I think that it is apparent that I have had some success. The only help that I had was my oldest boy, who was 8 years old when I arrived in Alberta."
About fifty miles west of Wetaskiwin there is a partially timbered district lying between Buck Lake and Pigeon Lake. All this land is ready for homesteading, and judging from a letter received by a resident there, this would seem to be an ideal place for a farmer who desired such surroundings. This settler lives on the shore of Buck Lake, his land is willow brush, which is easy to clear. Some of the lumber is good saw timber, and lots of good logs for buildings can be had, as well as rails for fencing. For wheat growing the soil is excellent. Water is easily secured, fishing is good and plentiful and game is anything but scarce. The settlers are mostly from the United States and Canada—Advertisement.
Advice With Motive
"I am much bothered," he said; "I can marry a wealthy widow whom I don't love or a poor girl that I love intensely. What shall I do?" "Listen to your heart," advised his companion, "and marry the one you love." "You are right, my friend. I shall marry the girl." "Then you can give me the widow's address?"
"Do you believe that truth crushed to earth will rise again?"
"I do—to be floored the next minute."

SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY
HAIR TO ANY SHADE. TRY IT!
Keep Your Locks Youthful, Dark, Glossy and Thick With Garden Sage and Sulphur.
When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxurant. You will also discover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look years younger. Adv.
It takes a quick-witted man to know when to say nothing.

Hindus for centuries have used sugar
honey as a laxative and old honey as
an entanglement. Aborigines of Purua
offered honey to the sun. Creeks pill
mix it with milk of water and use it
as a libation to the dead. In one
section of India milk and honey are
handed to all bridegrooms as they
arrive at the door of the bride's father,
and in ancient Egypt honey was long
a chief ingredient of embalming fluid.
