The Dingley bill comes out of
H the senate scarcely recognizable to
H its author. But still its friends
H are hopeful.
H The senate has rejected the An-
H glo-American treaty. It was too
H strongly Anglo for the senatorial
H American taste.
B Speaking of foreign missionary
HI work , those who go down deepest
H into their pockets for the home
H missionary cause generally are the
most liberal supporters of foreign
H missions. And contrariwise. The
H animate Christian is always a foreign -
eign missionist.

Mr. James Rowland of this village , states |
that for twenty-five years his wife has been a J H
sufferer from rheumatism. A few nights ago > H
she was in such pain that she was nearly crazy. P H
She sent Mr. Rowland for the doctor , but he \ , H
had read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and instead - # ' M
stead of going for the physician he went to J M
the store and secured a bottle of it. His wife < H
did not approve of Mr. Rowland's purchase H
at first , but nevertheless applied the Balm M
thoroughly and m an hour's time was able to H
go to sleep. She now applies it whenever she { H
feels an ache or a pain and finds that it always M
gives relief , lie says that no medicine which H
she had used ever did her as much good. The H
