A cold spell now would be more j beneficial to the health of the public than all the medicine that there is in the country, according to doctors. If the weather would become colder the prevalence of typhoid and malarial fevers would be checked. There are dozens of cases of typhoid in the city and county and more are being reported each day. Physicians attribute this to the fact that the weather is so hat and dry. All of the germs would be washed away if the weather would change.

When the sun shines and the streets become dusty, you wish it would rain; when it rains and the streets bee me muddy, you wish the sun would shine. After you are married you wish you were single, and if you get a new dress you wish - you had a new hat to match it; if it is a bey, you wish it was a girl; and if it is a girl, you wish it was a boy —was human nature ever satisfied? Guess not, and glad of it, for then there would be nothing to “kick" about. Officers of the Federation of Labor are trying to make arrangements and give a torchlight procession next Monday evening. Though they have, but a few days in which to make their arrangements it will be held if tbe lights can be secured.

SERVICES STiLL CONTINUE To Increase in Interest at the Christian Church. The services at the Christian church last night were especially interesting. A quartet composed of the following persons: Mrs. Crabb, Miss Shroll, Mr. Williams, of Alexandria and Harvey Lee, of Decatur, sang beautifully the song: “Lead Me Gently Home.” after which the evangelist discoursed upon this theme: “She bath done what she could.” He read |r the scripture lesson the only book in the Bible ad> dressed exclusively to a woman. In this sermon the evangelist paid a glowing tribute to woman. considers her the equal of man in every particular excepting perhaps jn physical strength. Thinks if a woman is qualified to preach the gospel and wants to preach, that there is nothing in the new testament which forbids it. Spoke cf Paul's prohibition against women teaching in the church, but showed dcnclnsively that he referred to women in local churches, who were of loose character as so many of the Corinthian women of that day and aae were.- He said the language of his text: “She hath done what she could" had never been applied to any man. but if it could be said of all Christians the results would be marvelous, the world would be speedily revolutionized Just this sort cf service is demaiAied lof all true Christians in the admonition: “Present your bodies a living sacrifice, which is your reasonable service, and be not conformed to this world,” etc. There is a growing interest noticeable from night to night. Tonight the subject for discussion is ' The Resurrecion of the Dead.” There will be special music tonight. Announcements for tomorrow will be found in the special column for church nctices, and It is earnestly desired that you will be present at these meetings—they are for you.

FATAL INJURIES (Continued from page 1.) coming into contact with Mr. Peoples as they were both turning the corner. An examination disclosed the fact that he was seriously injured internally, aside from exterior bruises, sustained in the fall. The deceased has lived an eventful life. He has traveled the long journey through life in an upright honorable manner and at no time have his movements, business deals or life been subject to the slightest criticism. He was a man among men, and it was not infrequent ‘that he was greeted with “Hello Uncle Robert” by many whom he did not recognize, but who knew him as a consequence of his unlimited popularity among all classes. Mr. Peoples has lived a Christian iife. Having ben born and raised in Adams county, he when in his boyhood days identified himself with the Union Chapel church and his life has been a living example of Christianity. He attained a recognition envied by many responsive to his righteous principles and his untimely demise renders a great loss to the county. His friendship will be sadly missed, his kind deeds cf charity will not be in evidence, but as long as do those who knew him survive, his works will be fresh in their memories. Beside the grief stricken widow, a daughter, Mrs. George Ohl er, survives to mourn the less of a loving father. Mr. Peoples was 67 years. 10 months and 8 days of age. The funeral services will be held from the Decatur U. B. church Monday afternoon at 2:3 'clock, the cortege leaving tbe home at 1:30. o ARE YOU ONLY HALF ALIVE?
