Would one think now that the devil is more easlly routed in the city of Bourbon whisky, fast horses, leaf tobacco and the prettiest girls (except for Lex- ington) in the U. S. A.—Louisville—- than anywhere else in the nation? ‘The figures prove it. It costs only $75 to save a soul in Louisville where- as in Indianapolis, staid, quiet, liter- ary Indianapolis the cost rises to $700 per convert to Christ. The fact is according to Billy’s ef- ficiency sheets the capital of Hoosier- dom is the devil's choicest earthly lair, except for New York, where it takes $600 to win a man from sin and set him in the straight and narrow road. This estimate may be subject to new revision, however. Billy's three months’ ‘campaign here will cost $150,000, and the new soul saving cost sheets will be prepared through a process of dividing the $150,000 by the number of trail hitters that re- spond to Billy’s fervent pleas. He is in New York for the big and prin- cipal purpose of showing the preach- ors what real soul saving efficiency is and he expects to cut the old fig- ures to flinders and raise New York to the proud position occupied by Louisville or Atlanta, where the cost is $80; or New Orleans, where it takes $100 and to beat Chicago’s $445, Bos- ton’s $600 and Denver's $455. 17,000 at Tabernacle. More than 17,000 men and women listened to Billy in the Tabernacle at Broadway and 168th street with ap- proval and keen delight last night— heard him dellver the spiciest gospel talk that so far has been heard. He beat the Old One up and down the platform, whacking manfully The metaphor is not strained: When he talks of Rursuing and_chastising Satan he pursues and chastises, literally. He grips an imaginary whip, -crouches like a tigerisets his jaws, whistles his ;reath through his teeth screams a defiance, hurls himself across the nlatform and then, -as he raises his vcice in shouts of hallejah, strikes downward with slashing strokes, rip- ping the hide off a Satan that one can almost see so strongly has Billy the power of visualizing his parables. Patriotism is next to Godliness with Billy Sunday in these tense days. Al- ways he has been a stalwart American citizen of the old fashioned breed, ‘“none of your ussywillow, sissy Americans, sister!” and now that he has gathered new inspiration straight from the lips of his national hero, Theodore' Roosevelt, and has talked to Gen. Wood, Billy loses no chance to preach devotion to the old flag and tel]l the boys to put their names down on the enlistment sheets. He is try- ing the very souls of the pacifists. Last night he exploded against the slackers who try to dodge army serv- ice by hastening to get married. “I understand,” said Billy, “that there are more foreign born people in New York city than in any metrop- olis in the world. Many of you, many of your ancestors, came to this coun- try from foreign shores. This is the land of.your adoption. Now that the flag is unfurled and we are at war with a powerful enemy, an enemy that has tried our souls and epit in our faces, and the country that gives you bread and protection needs you, sure- 1y you will not fail to respond. The fellow who will make the skirt and petticoat of a girl a safety first gevice behind which he may hide is a Black- er and a coward, and he comes pretty close to being a traitor. I think it is a disgrace when there are twice as many applications in Brooklyn and Manhattan for marriage licenses as there are for applications to join the colors! “You men haven’t a monopoly on war service. The men have a monop- oly on the firing line, but you women can join the Red Cross or offer your- selves for service in some other «a- ‘pacity. I spoke this morning to a number of young women at the home of Mrs. C. B. Alexander, at 4 West Fifty-eighth street, and these young women have all agreed to lay aside their frills and their furs and go out and offer themselves for anything they may be able to do. I found that in the homes of the rich and the affluent there is as much patriotism to the square inch as anywhere else.” APPEALS TO NEGROES, Colored FEducator Urges Them to Mobilize Al Their Forces, Hampton, Virginia, April 13.—Dr. H. B. Frisell, principal of the Hamp- tori normal and agricultural institute | for negroes and Indians, has sent an appeal to the institute’s graduates to mobilize all their forces in “this na- tional crisis.” He especially asked the alumni in the south to use their best efforts to oftset propagandd of German agents among negroes. The appeal con- cluded with the admonition that the graduates utilize every inch of avall- able gréund for growing foodstuffs for the nation, IT IS TIME NEW BRITAIN SHOUI.D WAKE UP TO THE FACT OF ITS WONDERFUL POWERS HE $/ MR. W. A. Tt is queer said Mr. Martin the Lax-a-Tone expert at the Hconomy New England Drug Co., how so many people let the tortures of stomach trouble run on day after day, “they say I have terrible gas pains. and shortness of breath,” go take a pinch of soda and have the same old story | the next day. I often wonder if these | people are not really conscious of the | fact that as the days drag on that some day they are going to awake to the fact that the pinch of soda is not going to relieve and they will find themselves in the throes of a chronic’ case of indigestion' that will make life a torture. Why not stop that gas and bloat right now for good instead of relieving it with soda or some other temporary remedy. Try a bottle of Herbal Lax-a-Tone and one short week’s trial will convince anyone no matter how bad a case you have. Mr. Dunn, who lives at 29 ‘When ‘you say that I had stomach DUNN. ¥ trouble you are auulv llfl!l is true for I surely did have had it badly 'and all the pains aches that go with it. I could eat hardly anything at all { suffering.
