The almost Intolcrabln hent anil dust has driven the mon of tho army In largo numbers Into our tents that there they might cool their parched tongues with Ice water, and perchance catch a slight whiff of a refreshing breeze so rare in thin neck of tho wood. Tho work at the ten points In Camp Alger where the Young Men's Christian association has erected tQnts, Is pi oh ably one of the grandest exhlbltlonM of applied Christianity that the nineteenth century has seen. Tho spirit which has prompted tho Christian llndenvor and like younB people's societies with tlielr respective churches nnd pastors to ;nake the YounB Men's Christian association the medium through which this dednlto help should be broiiBht to the somlers. betokens alt advance, common-sense movement In which every loyal cltlr.cn la at once benefactor and benellclary. A largo number of men throughout tho camp during the past six days have turned their faces toward the Saviour of men, nnd many have given evidence of having entered the Christian life.

The lines which nro beginning to take a prominent placo are our Bible class, which meets every day at 2 o'clock. Much Interest Is being man ifested. Men are through Its agenry be ing trained for solid work. Another ad vance step has been taken. Hint of or ganizing yokefellow bands in the differ ent companies of every regiment, com posed of the Christian men who will do rtefinltp work for their fellows. Six of these bands have, within the past two days, been organized In as many com panies In three of our regiments.

Woman's ultimate mission, duty and joy on earth are com prised in the one word, "Mother hood." Multitudes M& of women fail of this Bk mission because of (weaVncss and disease 'r- of the distinctly femi- "Tt. nine organism. They h; i uo not understand that disorders of this description unV. thera for wifehood and motherhood, am as a consequence are careless and ueglectful of their health in a womanly way Others who realize the truth, shrink "ram the "examinations" and "local trea:iants" insisted upon by the average phstcian. Dr. Piercers Favorite Prescription does away with the necessity for these obnoxious examinations and local treatments. It acts directly and only on the delicate and important organs that are the vestibule of human life and makes thera strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and elastic. It fits for wifehood and mother hood. It banishes the annoyances of the uncomfortable period preceding maternity end makes babe's arrival in the world easy and neatly painless. All the dangers of maternity vanish under its beneficent in. fluence. Its use during the period of an. ticlpatlon Is a guarantee of the little stran ger's health and an ample supply of natural nourishment. Thousands of women have testified to Its marvelous merits. All med. Icine stores sell it. Accept no substitute that may be represented as "just as good." "For ten years I suffered untold misery." writes Mrs. Carllne King, of New Honton, Sci. to Co.. Ohio.
