Billy Says He Will
Skin Modernist Gang
“I have an invitation to' appear in
Madison Square Garden in New York
to refute the arguments of Grant and
the rest of the Modernist crowd, ar, I
I’m going to accept it."Til skin that
gang.” So declared Billy Sunday Wed-’
nesday in his afternoon sermon at the
Tabernacle before four thousand peo
ple.
“They are devils, the 1. W. W.’s,
the radicals and the Bolshevists of
religion,” he said. “Men have the
right to change the laws of plan by
legislative enactment, but they nave
no right to tamper with the laws of
God.
“When you take the supernatural
out of religion you have nothing more
than a system of teaching left and if
this be done, Christianity will degen
erate to the lqvel of Buddhism and
Mohammedism.
“They deny the Virgin Birth of
Christ and would have him the ille
gitimate offspring of a Jewish harlot.
They deny that he is the son of God

For Another. \
Korean student at Trinity college,
i an not resist the lure of another, and

the fight once more. Lint’s decision
came as the result of a recent dispatch
from Tokyo that a Korean youth had
attempted to demolish the imperial
palace with a bomb. This proved deep

Lim, along with mr.ny other of his
countrymen who are studying m va
rious colleges and universities ip Am
erica and Europe is' an exile. He' fears
arrest by the Japanese government if
lie returns home, but nevertheless he
is awaiting his opportunity. He bears'
a large scar on his forehead which he
received in 1019 during the Korean
revolution. At that time hjj was in
Sc^sul And was employed as a messen
ger, the mails being closely watched
by the Japanese officers, lie was en
gaged in turning out handbills of pro
paganda when the place was raided,
and Lim received a scar in the fight
ensuing. He escaped but his comrad
es.were apprehended and imprisoned.
Lim bewails the fact that most of
the American people do not under
stand the real cause of the enmity be
tween Korea and Japan. At the end of
'.he Russo-Japanese war the Korean
government was forced to unite with
Japan against Russia. The people
were later broken-hearted when Korea
was forced to unite with Japan ii
1910. Since then the Koreans have
been continuously suppressed. Revolu
tions have broken out spasmodically,
but have never been organized well
enough to withstand the Japanese.
The Korean does not have the direct
communication with his relatives and
friends in Korea, but he communicat

"Well!
Strong!”
Mrs. Anna Clover, of R. F. D.
5, Winfield, Kans., says: “I
began to suffer some months
ago with womanly troubles, and
1 was afraid i was going to get
in bed. Each month 1 suffered
with my head, back and sides—a
weak, aching, nervous feeling.
1 began to try medicines as I
knew 1 was.getting worse. I
did not seem to find the right
remedy until someone told me oi
The Woman's Tonic
I used two bottles before 1 could
see any great change', but after
that it was remarkable how
much better 1 got. 1 am now
well and strong, i can recom
mend Cardui, for it certainly
benefited me.”
if you have been experiment
ing on yourself with all kinds of
different remedies, better get
back to good, old, reliable

which should help you, too.

'f interest to local pouTtrymen:
“After January 1 every egg offered
for sale in the state of Connecticut,
bantam, I.cghorn or Plymouth Hock]
brown or white, plain or speckled,
mu -t have stamped upon its surface
the exact date of its advent into this
hungry world. This is a rule adopted
by the state board of agriculture for j
purpose* which a moment's reflation
makes ahvious. No longer need the I
housewife contemplating an omelet
hold each egg to the light, shake il
between thumb and finger or drop it i
fito a bowl of water. She need only
look at the date and separate tbe egg
'.hat i., contemporaneous from that
which has merely a historical value.
'i hat ihis is n step forward t o one
w’u has ever eaten scrambled eggs
m a country restaurant will deny,
i hist to ay, it is a step forward
according to occidental notions. In
China, where so much is topsy-turvy,
the value of an .egg is thought to ap
preciate with age, and dried eggs as
much us a century old are considered
great delicacies. These are buried and
when dug up are said to have n sur
prisingly mild flavor. But the prac
tice wouldn’t do in America least of
all in Connecticut.
The Connecticut regulation throws |
light on up to date farming as com
pared with that of a few decades ago.
The egg and poultry business, like
the milk business, tu being more and
moro closely organised and regulated.
JThe haphazard methods of the old
lay would not be profitable, even
though they wore tolerated, or toler
ate d even though thev were profita
ble. And the egg business has indef
inite possibilities of expansion, organ
ization and development. At present
the average American eats 17 or 18
dozen eggs a yeur, or about two
thirds of nir egg a day. He could, and
should, eat more if they were abun
dant an<^ cheap enough.”
