George Backhurst,, rector of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal church, has started a drive to clear the church of debt.” The church was built under the leadership of Arch. deacon Parshall, and is a fine Gothic edifice, and a worthy addition to the fine public buildings of the city. Unfortunately, the premature death of Mr. Parshall left the church building indebted to the American Church Building society to the amount of $2,000. During the rec- torship of Rev. Backhurst this has tbeen reduced'to $1,400. Now an of- fer has been made by the society as an inducement to give $400 on con- dition that the balance is paid on or before August 23. The rector has decided not to ask for cash donations, ‘but has offered a $50. Liberty Bond himself if 19 others will.do likewise. . The congre- gation ~and friends are respanding heartily.

Figures made public today show the United States has the largest dyestuffs industry in the world. Three years ago this country was utterly dependent on German dyes; only 3,300 tons of coal tar products being turned out in a year. Now, 125 factories are niaking dyes, and more than $200,000,000 in capital is at work building up Uncle Sam’s healthy industry. Before the war, this country im- ported 22,000 tons of dyestuffs an- nually from Germany.

(United Press Correspondent. ) With the American Army at the I‘mnt July = 2—(By Mail.)— “They’re the traffic cops of the army, and darned good ones, too. There'll be no scarcity of traffic cops back in America when the M. P.’s get back. The officer was alluding to the mil- itary police, the orgamzatmn that keeps order. in the.army,. prevents ¢congestion on the rodds, and does the awork that other. departments of-the army do not do.. The militry police have taken an important ‘place be- hind the lines. The military police is a distinct or- ganization, and is made up of pick- organization, and is made up of pick- ed men from various military units. As soon as a unit arrives in France, “the M. P.'s” are organized from it and for it. They are always known as “M. P.’s” in the army. Until he gets up to the front and sees things, the average man does not realize that there is as much traffic through some battered little town be- hind the lines as there is on Broad- way, New York, or Market street, San Francisco, at least during certain hours. So the “M. P.” has a big job on his hands as traffic cop. Often there are two streams of traffic, and he has a double job, to prevent con- gestion. Naturally there is an “M. P.” at every cross road, to examine passes, and see that people who do not, be- long near the front never get there. When you enter a division’s area you are always met by an “M, P.” who looks over your credentials, and gives you information about roads, dan- gers, and sses that you have your gas' mask teady befure you go. in the “gas alerte zone.” The “M. P.’s” are made up of the best men in the army, and they have a lot of authority. What is more, they know it—which makes them a little disliked by the ordinary “doughboys But everyone agrees the army couldn’t run without the “M. P.s.” . TEN LEAVE FOR CAMP. The ten recruits enlisted by Ser- reant Foucalt of -the local station left at naon today for Jefferson bar- racks. The entralnment was with- out noticable demonstration, the young men left with the spirit of pa- triotism on tap. $i(6 Reward, $100 The readers of this paper will be ~teaged to learn that there is at least e dreaded diseaze that scichce has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. .Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions i requires coustitutional treatment.

You can eat anything you like now and digest it in comfort, for stomach ease is positively assured if you take an EATONIC tablet or two occasionally after each meal. EATONIC acts directly with the food as it enters the stomach. It quickly checks any tendency to- ward too much acid and enables the food to pass from the stomach into the bowel in a sweetened con- dition, and thus prevents the for- mation of sour, distressing gases that upset digestion and cause a bloated, dull, lumpy feeling, food repeatmg, and all kinds of stom- ach miseries. AFRAID and Lau h At Troubles EATONIC enables you to eat your fill and laugh at mdxgestxon, dyspepsia, heartburn,‘sour stom- ach” and at the same time you get full strength out of your food, Kramer says: ‘‘EATONIC should be in every home, for use after meals. An EATONIC tab- let will aid easy digestion and as- similation—your food can be thoroughly enjoyed without the slightest danger of misery from acid stomach.” I strongly advise every one to take EATONIC after meals. -To correct bad stomachs and keep them in perfect condi- tion, it is a wonderful discovery.’’ If EATONIC fails to give you prompt stomach relief, your mon- ey will be cheerfully refunded by your druggist; 50c buys a large box at any drug store. : £z JT — Dalacsbiun | -
