WM. H. MOORE WRITES FROM NAPLES IN AN INTERESTING AND DESCRIPTIVE MAN-

NER OF THE COUNTRY, INHABITANTS AND THEIR CUSTOMS

STREETS OF BURIED CITY

Visits Monle Carlo and Goes Over the Famous Riviera Drive—Old I Vesuvius and Surroundings —Camels Remind Writer of Isaac's Story and Inspire Quotation from the Scriptures.

Wm. H. Moore, who with his wife, left Indianapolis the first of January for a genuine pleasure trip, wherever their inclinations might lead them, writes from Naples, Italy, the following most interesting letter: 'And Isaac lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, the camels were coming, and he took Rebekah and she became his wife and be loved her.' "Leaving the water? of the Atlantic, passing through the Straight of Gibraltar, we entered the warm waters of the Mediterranean. Following the coast of Africa, one sees many things different from in the States. At Algiers the Arabs are in the majority. The city and surrounding country are largely made up of this race of people. Here the camels are their beasts of burden. Trom out the desert they came by the thousands/ Algiers, Tunis and Alexandria are their chief trading points. They dress in w*hat is supposed to be a white robe. These Arabs are very ancient people. No— their robes may have been white if so, it was a long time ago. The best ladies of this tribe cover their faces with cheese cloth or gauze while on the streets or in public places, leaving their legs and feet bare, the same being powdered and painted in an attractive manner. About 12.000 of these creatures had come from the interior of Africa, and were gathering together near Algiers wdiere they had chartered a steamship, going to Mecca. wrhere they bathe in the waters of Jordan and are forever purged of their sins. By the aid of a half-franc, I was able to get into the good graces of their leader who told me they were all of the Mohammedan faith and to some this journey represented the savings of a lifetime.

money and never again see it. I have not love, I am as sounding am not grieving after mine. It was no great amount and those people pay for their concession—two million eight hundred thousand dollars per year, and all running expenses of the city on the side. Forget your troubles, go out on the Riviera, the most beautiful drive, and most sought after of all Europe. Beginning at the sea wall, you take an automobile and by going back and forth, you ascend the mountains to about 1.200 feet above sea level. This roadway is carved out of solid roc®, overlooks the olive and orange groves and on down into the blue waters of the Mediterranean. A little farther on will be found the Isle of Corsica, the birthplace of Napoleon. "Landing at Naples, at your left is Vesuvius, which at this time is very angry, blowing smoke and hot ashes all the time. But she is certainly not so hot, for her sides bear huge mantles of snow, while the surrounding valleys are laden with orange blossoms, figs and dates. To the right in plain view is the village of Pozzulio, founded long before the coming of our Savior. A little farther on is Pompei. Since the year 79 A. D.. this city was buried under lava of Vesuvius, and since 18G3 the excavating has been going on. until now we again walk through the streets of what was at one time a prosperous city. "W. H.

HYOMEI RELIEVES

Catarrh. Head Colds, Snuffles, Almost Instantly—You Breathe It

When your head is all stuffed up from a cold or a catarrhal condition, causing you to suffer with dull headaches, watery eyes, constant snuffling, spasmodic coughing, or an itching and burning sensation in the nostrils, you need a remedy that will give the quickest and most effective relief possible—something that will go right to the spot and immediately clear the head and end your suffering.

"Church Efficiency" was the interesting theme used by Rev. M. S. Decker at the Christian church for his discourse Sunday morning. He said that efficiency is being hardworked nowT in many lines. It appears to be the watchword. To do the thing you are doing the very best you can, means efficiency, by and by. Misguided men. years ago, placed destructive agencies in the path of progress, hidden obstructions for destroying new inventions in farm implements, and burned self-binders in the field, fearing that their rights as laborers were being jeopardized. Now, it would be impossible to harvest the crops in the "good old-fashioned way." Writes to Old Friend. Dave Ellis,

The column of profit must show That He Can't Get to Board-

if the mill or factory runs, else it must close. Efficiency only can produce results. Take efficiency in the church. There is much waste of brain and hardening of heart, and idleness, which produces inefficiency. In the church, you have to deal with the individual. A certain pastor when asked if all his members were active, he replied: "Yes, but some act awful."

A machine is made to tie a knot perfectly, but it is a greater thing to take a broken and lacerated chord of the human heart, and unite and heal. A tender thing to accomplish such results. "Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that need not be ashamed." A workman that can connect the links of love in the human heart, and make a perfect chain. "Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter, feelings lie buried that grace can restore, and touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness, chords that were broken will vibrate once more." "The best way to make a church is to grow one, by giving of time,

Use Hyomei—it is just such a remedy—a treatment that is harmless, pleasant to use, and leaves no disagreeable after effects. No round-about method of stomach dosing. Simply pour a fewr drops of Hyomei into the inhaler that comes with every complete outfit— which can be had from any drug store—and breathe it. You will immediately feel its healing and health-restoring effect,

The antiseptic and germicidal oils that comprise Hyomei mix with the air you breathe so that this health-giving medication goes directly to the sore and inflamed mucous membrane lining the nose, throat and bronchial tubes—all irritation is quickly stopped, the congestion relieved, and the delicate tissues healed and vitalized. You will feel better at once.

The Early Drug Company sells Hyomei with agreement to refund the purchase price if you are not satisfied. This should be convincing proof that it is a dependable remedy. Ask for the complete outfit. SI.00 size. wsw (Advertisement)

Dave Ellis received a letter today from his old friend, Almon Keefer, who has a homestead in South Dakota, and is located at Murdo, that he is in the center of a blizzard which is the wTorst he ever saw.

"What is your strongest church?'jsum frQm their dinner the day of was asked of a man, and he pointed the sale. to a church on a hill and remarked that it had six millionaires in it. Of. course, an erroneous idea of a strong church.

The sermon was replete with pertinent epigrams. At the evening service the subject, "A Preacher with a Prison Record" was the theme. There was a good attendance, considering stormy weather.

ILK WEATHER AT

Dr. C. A. Barnes Writes of Conditions At His New Home Tells of Trip to Seattle on Boat.

"Tacoma, Wash.

"Editor Reporter: —We in Tacoma are not spending any time in picking roses and other flowers. Winter is on and only such vegetation as can stand heavy frost, window pane ice and a slight sprinkle of snow-, can flourish. Most of the time the temperature has been ranging from 38 to 48 degrees above but one day last week it dropped to 31 above. It has remained cold since, but not freezing. Notwithstanding the reports in your daily Star, every day here in winter is not cloudy, nor does it rain as much as you are led to think. A rainy day here may mean a few minutes' sprinkle, and the rest of the day clear, or an all-day pourdown. We don't puff up much on our winters. But' in the summer, when we can see it, we take mu ii pride in our great snow-capi mountain. We see it but little ii winter. "I recall a conversation with Thomas Beecher, of Knightstown and Greenfield, after his return from a few weeks' visit out here. He said the outlook over the landscapes oppressed him nothing but hills and mountains, forests and the ocean to look at. His experience reminded me of the poor fellow who in his wanderings had nothing to wear but clothes, and nothing to eat but food. Mr. Beecher was wise, however, and knew a good place to return to. "I must tell you about a little trip Mrs. Barnes, Albert and I took a few days ago. It was the first bright, sunshiny day we had seen for weeks, and Albert proposed that we take his mother up the sound to Seattle, a distance of over thirty miles from here. As we started rather late in the afternoon, it wras almost dark when we returned. Our boat was the steamer 'Indianapolis,' which Greenfield people will remember, as I think Miss Lulu Hill officiated at its launching in Ohio. "When we were well along on our voyage home about 8 p. m., Mrs. Barnes and I were sitting in the cabin and Albert was on the upper deck when suddenly there was a loud shrill whistle below, a sudden stopping and reversing of the engines, then several short-boatswain whistles. All this in a minute of time. The three or four hundred passengers became frantic, supposing something terrible had happened. many of them no doubt remembering that only a few years ago a large vessel had tuljied over and sunk not far from that place, and all on board except one man were lost. It seems unreasonable that we were so frightened, as it was not more than two miles to land on either side, and unless some unlikely accident tr the vessel had happened, it could have been landed in a few minutes. But it was dark and cold, and the water two or three hundred feet deep. We remembered the Titanic and other recent disasters, and some fright on our part was excusable. This was

Mrs. Barnes' first trip up the Sound but I had been up many times and learned something of ships and the arrangements. Without a sign of fear Mrs. Barnes asked if I knew where the life preservers were. I did, for the sign 'life preservers' had been staring me, in the face for weeks. As we were trying to make our way to the life preservers. Albert forced his way through the mass of panic-stricken people, and shouted, 'There is no danger, the vessel is all right only a man overboard.' The word, was passed on and quiet was restored. In the meantime the steamer w-as going back to the place wrhere the man went over. A ship's boat was hastily manned and lowered. After spending some time in fruitless search, the steamer resumed her original course and in another hour we were thankfully walking on good old Mother Earth. "Accidents are common everywhere, but they are more noticeable and seem of greater importance when near us. The man lost was seen to deliberately walk to the rail and leap overboard. The only person who saw him said he believed he was a Japanese. "We are happy to say we are enjoying excellent health and continue to like our new home. "Through the medium of the Reporter we are kept so well informed of every event in and about Greenfield that in a sense we hardly realize that we have been entirly Absent." We sefid greetings to all our friend^. "C. A. BARNES."

LYMAN H. HOWE'S PICTURES AT ENGLISH'S OPERA HOUSE

The announcement of the presentation of the Lyman H. Howe's pictures always means something new and novel, as well as instructive, but the pictures that will be seen at English's Opera House, Indianapolis. Friday and Saturday, February 27th and 28th. with matinees both afternoons, is probably the best thing he has ever shown. It is a series of pictures showing the contraction of the Panama Canal from the time the work was begun until the present. Mr. Howe spent thousands of dollars keeping men with cameras on the Isthmus taking pictures of the various phases of the work which is probably the biggest piece of engineering ever attempted in the world. In view of the coming exposition for the celebration of the opening of the Canal, everyone is particularly interested and to the school children who are watching the joining of the two oceans which will make necessary the printing^ of a new geography, this will be a splendid opportunity to have a lesson much more interesting than the usual daily recitation. No one should miss these pictures. dw (Advertisement)

DO YOU GO TO CHURCH FOR SELFISH REASONS

In the March Woman's Home Companion, Bruce Bartin writes an article entitled "Why Fifty Women Go to Church." Last month he published an article entitled "Why Fifty Women Do Not Go to Church.' He has been collecting information from hundreds of women, and the information he has obtained is specific and highly entertaining. Following is an extract: "These fifty women were not requested to sign their letters, and thus there is no sense of self-cons-ciousness. no necessity for pretense in what they write. If there be any purely sordid motive for church attendance one would expect to find it somewhere in the fifty letters. And indeed one does find a trace. There is the woman who writes frankly that 'I attend church because, in addition to its other benefits, it gives a stranger in the city a good opportunity to know socially the best people.' "And another who says, 'Purely aside from the spiritual value of church attendance, it is a matter of good policy for a woman who is busines". as I am. 1 identify herself with some stroncr church.'"

The size of that hole represents about, the impression that good advice makes on a young man's mind. From it to 20 years they knew much more than 1 did at 25 they knew as much at 30 they were willing to lis'ten to what I had to say at 35 they asked my advice, and I think when they get to be 40 they will acknowledge the old man does know something."
