A social session proved very encouraging to the members and ministers in charge. Mrs. Crabb sang a beautiful solo entitled “There is Time Enough Yet." Evangelist Crabb then spoke upon ’What the Churches of Christ Stand for.” He very plainly and forcibly explained this subject in ten divisions, and for each and every point showed his authority by references and readings from the Bible. The sermons delivered by Rev. Crabb are listened to each evening with greater interest and a splendid result has been manifested. "Rock of, Ages’’ was sung for invitation and one more was added to those who have responded to the call of Christ to accept His word. The beautiful and inspiring song “There is a land that is Fairer Than Day" was sung by Mrs. Crabb. Her singing adds much- to the interest of these meetings.

LIVES LOST IN TENEMENT. Three Killed and Hundreds in Peril During Fire. New York. Oet. 21. —Three persons were killed, four others badly injured and the lives of a hundred inore were imperiled by fire in the six-story tene- ! ment house at 83 East Third street | early today. The dead are: Mrs. i Yetta Mosccwitz, age 25 years; Mau-i rice Moscowitz. three months, son of ! Mrs. Moscowitz; man known as Louis, I a boarder in the Moscowitz home. I None of the injured will die. The fire started in the basement. Before an alarm had been given, the lower part of the house wa sablaze, and the flames were sweeping up the stairways. When the alarm swept through the crowded house there was a mad scramble for fire escapes and windows, and for twenty minutes the firemen and police were kept busy carrying the frightened cnes to safety. It was not until the fire had been controlled and a search of the house was made that it was known any lives had been lost. o A STARTLING STATEMENT. New York Medical Authorities Claim Dyspepsia Causes Consumption. The post mortem statistics of the big New York hospitals show that some cases of consumption are'due to unchecked dyspepsia, especially when the victim was predisposed* to tuberculosis. Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain, the weakened, irritable stomach is unable to digest food, the body does not receive the required nourishment, constitpation ensues and the victim becomes thin, weak and haggard. As a result, the body becomes a fertile field for the germs of disease to lodge and flourish. Therefore, the person who permits dyspepsia to progress unhindered is guilty of contributing toward the development of one of the most insidious and fatal diseases known to mankind. Dyspepsia is curable if propertly treated. The Smith, Yager & Falk Drug Co., sell a remedy which they positively guarantee will cure indigestion or dyspepsia or they will pay for all the medicines used during the trial. This remedy is an absolutely new medical discovery and has been named Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no offer could be more fair, and the offer of the Smith, Yager & Falk Drug Co. is proof positive that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are a dependable and infallible remedy. Inasmuch as the medicine will cost you nothing if it does not benefit you we urge you who are suffering with indigestion or dyspepsia to try this remedy. A tw’enty-five cent box of Rexal Dyspepsia Tablets contains enough medicine for fifteen days’ treatment. Remember Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are only sold in Decatur by the Smith.
