nnd for general mlBmnnagement. Theso
charges are made by Steward Mllllken, be

been an unpleasantness.
Thn evidence thus far has not been of a
strong character, simply emphasizing the
bitterness existing between tho stownrd and
his friends and Dr. King. Dr. Lang was on
tho ntand a largo part of today ond sub

and he mado countercharges against Mllll

It Is the wonderful po&or that Is raising up weak physiques nnd giving tm a

The object of this book is to place before

which their presence ami cultivation bring,
you will forever be the friends nnd pro
tectors of theso gracious gifts of nn Allwiso
Father. , .,
The wnnton destruction of birds has
reached such a point that our lawmakers
have felt the necessity of enacting laws for
their protection. It would be n source of
great satisfaction, however, to know anil
