The Aula Christ, or Hall of Christ, the only building of its kind in the world, is neatly ready for dedication at Chautauqua, N. V. Because of the use to which it will be put it will attract world-wide at tention. It has been erected at a cost of about $40,000, and is con structed of stone, steel, white Rom an brick and white terra cotta. In this building are to be collect ed all the books which have been written upon the life of Christ and a vast library dealing with inter pretations of Christ, and Christ in ethics, in social science and in modern civilization. All the engravings of Christ which the art of ages has brought within reach will be collected in another room of the building, and will be kept in large drawers built for the purpose, and where any one of the photographs, engravings or other pictures will be easily access ible to those making a study of them. The windows of the new building are of historic significance, present ing in chronological order events in the life of Christ. Within these most appropriate surroundings courses of study in the life, words and deeds of Jesus and 111 the re suits from his teachings will be conducted for old and young. A main audience room also provides for the holding of appropriate meet ings. A curator and adviser will be in charge of the library and the engravings. This new building is the cherish ed idea of Bishop John H. Vincent, and was first proposed by him in 1893 to symbolize to the world the Christ idea as to the central and dominant' thought of Chautaqua and to afford an appropriate place for the study of the lite and teach ings of Jesus in all their bearings Bibical, theological, personal, ethi cal and social. Bishop Vincent further said: "The Hall is a sym bol, a representation of home and church circles, scattered all over the land devoted to the same work, the study of the Christ. It is again a place of worship of the Cbri-t a service of silence, of sacred song, cf readings, of prayer and meditation; a place for reverent, honest and frevent study of Christ as a per sonal Saviour." The erection of this building rep resents the gifts of hundreds. The largest single contributions to tne work have been $10,000 from the Massey estate in Toronto, $5000 from Miss Helen Gould and $3000 from the estate of N. T. Arnold The last $10,000 necessary to its completion was raised in the great audience at the recent exercises at Chautauqua, in observation of "Old First night." The first meeting was held in the new building, Mon day, August 17. The formal dedi cation will not take place uutu next summer. For headache Dr. Milei' AnU-Paln Fill Book on Social Sins. Toseoh Medill Patterson, the son of the editor of the Chicago Iri bune, related to a dozen of the rich est and most socially prominent families in the United States, has written a book called A Jittle Brother of the Rich." It is sen sational to a degree in its theme, daring in its treatment and brutally frank in its language, lashing so ciety and its alleged practices as it was never scourged before. Summed up in a sentence, Mr. Patterson's book presents a picture of New York society and incident ally of the stage, which, if it were true, is too vile and revolting for words. According to !' A Little Brother of the Rich," every fashionable woman drinks to excess, is untrue to her marriage vows, is animated Kv nhnhitelv no thoutrht except vulgar display, the gratification of animal passion and insatiate greea for money, and cares nothing for the means by which this money bt obtained. Wonder what kind of company Joseph has been keeping?

Are we claiming too much for Peruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in real ity such a catarrh remedy ? Let us ee what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient Hydrastis canadensis, of golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of aepraveu mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonio dyspepsia (ca tarrh of the stomach), chronio intesti nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (ca tarrh of the liver), and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various torms or ua eases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, cory dalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also is cubebs classed as a stomachic and at a tonic for the mucous membranes. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. The seeds are to be found in very few drug stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysen tery, and in intermittent diseases as a substitute for quinine. Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimu lant and diuretic. It acts on the stom ach and intestinal tract It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary mem branes. Useful in chronio cystitis, chronio dysentery and diarrhea, and some chronio diseases of the liver and kidneys. Send to us for a free book of testi monials of what the people think of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The best evidence is the testimony of those whs have tried it Items oi Interest to Farm Eolk. A tract of cedar consisting of fifty-four acres was sold at public auction in Tennessee recently totbe Eagle Pencil Company for $9,964. This was said to be the finest trad of cedar in Tennessee. It was the largest cedar deal that has been made for years. One reason why you should prac tise a well-planned rotation of crops is that it results in economy of la bor. If orooerlv arrano- !.. work on one crop will partially pre- yuic iuc sun ror me next crop, and, too, the work is more evenly dis tributed throughout the year by having a variety of crops. Many truck farmers and fruit growers succeed in producing good crops, but fail to get a satisfactory price for their products because they do not use the best methods in sell ing them. Several of the state ex periment stations have been devot ing some attention to a study of this problem and valuable information cotioerninw grading, packincr and marWt; your valuable crops.
