Students of Whole World Object of Present Day of Prayer John R. Mott, on of World's Student Chris tian Federatio\ Issues Call to Churches By THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER Sunday, February 27, Is observed as r universal Day of Prayer for stu dents. This Is one of the world-wide netlvities of organized Christianity liublic print, yet Is profoundly perva sive, and apart from its distinctly spiritual aspect, is a propaganda of immeasurable magnitude. The call is Issued by John R. Mott, J general secretary of the World's Stu dent Christian Federation. It wasj issued long: ago and has gone to all ] < orners of the earth. The day is kept i with more seriousness in some small missionary communities in tropical Africa than it is in New York City. The Christians in Japan, who are | profoundly perturbed over the new national problems created by the swift! increase of education have a keen interest in this Day of Prayer. Chinese pastors, as well as missionary educa- ! tors of the great university centers In China, alike will stress the significance of the occasion. Throughout bottled- I up India, and in the depleted colleges: of Turkey and of Europe, the Day of Prayer for students will be kept In unity with the churches of America.; Even in the trenches this day, I which figures in no dispatches, will be remembered by thousands. The uni- j versifies of Europe have been emptied for military service, yet the soldiers' have taken their student conscious- ■ ness with them to a remarkable de-1 gree. The demand for literature by these university men in the trenches! has been one of the religions phenom-! DROPSY TREATED FREE If> Or.

DANGEROUS VARICOSE VEINS CAN BE REDUCED If you or any relative or friend is worried because of varicose veins, or bunches, the best advice that anyone In this world can give Is to get a pre scription that many physicians are now prescribing. Ask your druggist for an original two-ounce bottle of Emerald Oil (full strength) and apply night and morn ing to the swollen, enlarged veins. Soon you will notice that they arc growing smaller and the treatment should be continued until the veins are of normal size. So penetrating and powerful is Emerald Oil that it dissolves goitre and wens and causes them to disappear. It can always be secured at all drug gists.—Advertisement. HMnUBMi AT THE MINES From sources of informa tion available it looks as if April 1 will come without a new agreement between operators and miners. Whether this will precipitate a strike is a difficult ques tion to answer. Perhaps an automatic cessation of work until an agreement is reached. In any event the cost of any concessions will have to be paid by the con sumer. Scarcity of labor owing to the war and shortage of cars to transport coal to the mar ket have made the situation bad enough, let alone threats of a strike. Buy coal now while there is plenty of It available. Thousands of tons now stored in our yards. H. M. KELLEY & CO. 1 North Third Street Tenth and State Streets RUSH!!

Soldiers of Civilization The sobered thought of humanity | is more inclined to-day to heed all calls to prayer than it was five years ago. It sees the effect of the present; cataclysm upon civilization. The need 1 for new national and international leadership, and for the Inflow of new ! ideals and forces into society is rnani- ; fest. Christian students must. In i large part meet theso needs. If the Ideals of civilization are to be pre-: served, Christianity must have a large part in preserving them. Within j educational realms the state of mind , is more serious to-day than for a generation past. Religious rivals In educational cen-j tcrs, ai-e reported from all parts of | the land. Special campaigns have been conducted In the big Kastern j universities, as well as in the small i Western colleges..Nor are these meet- ! ings confined to America alone, i George Sherwood Eddy has just re- j turned from India, where his amazing series of evangelistic meetings among Chinese and Japanese students have ; been duplicated. The "Billy" Sunday campaigns in certain great cities are j quite matched by the less notorious: revivals in educational centers. Campaigning In Colleges A concentration of effort in behalf of the Christianization of the college | life of America is under way at the present time. The effeet that both I the churches and the Young Men's; Christian Associations are united in 1 observing this as a Day of Prayer is i merely symptomatic. Some denomina tions. notably the Presbyterian, have been having a week of college visita- i tlon in their denominational institu-1 tions during the past six days. The whole country is covered with | a net work of special effort for higher I institutions of learning. Most of the, leading denominations now have a department of student work. They l employ a staff of "Student Pastors" experts who give themselves wholly to the spiritual care ol' the students in the great universities. Various plans of the university churches have been adopted by the denominations, and in some cases denominational houses akin to the fraternities have been opened. Delegations of the strongest minis- ' ters in certain denominations have been set apart for weeks at a time to do work in the colleges. The aim is to keep the students in vital touch with Christianity and with church work. It is a well-known fact that the average student during his absence from home at college loses contact with church activities, and Is com monly lost to church work. A V. M. C. A. Army Whilo less known to the public than the great city Y. M. C. A.'s, the college work of the Association is of unmeasured significance. There are student Y. M. C. A.'s In seven hun dred and seventy institutions, and a proportionately large number of Y. W. C. A.'s in women's colleges and co educational institutions. Seventy-five thousand men are enrolled in these associations, and thirty-eight thou sand are members of Bible classes. Nine thousand men are working in college communities in practical so cial service. A veritable military staff of gen eral secretaries direct the Y. M. C. A. work in the colleges of the land. It has been said that the leaders of these men, like A. J. Eliot, I l *. P. Turner and John R. Mott, have a better grasp of the basic moral and religious phases of present-day education in America than do the famous college presidents themselves. This does not imply any lack of sympathy or co operation between the educators and 1 lie Y. M. C. A. men. On the contrary there is a new and close co-operation, so that educational institutions lend hearty support to the observance of the Day of Prayer for colleges. All alert churches in the land will I make recognition of this special ob servance of February 27 as a Day of Prayer; for the cause is one that has the special sympathy of parents whose children are at college. The general keeping of the day betokens the widespread interest of the whole Church in the Christian leadership of to-morrow. THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER. Endorsed by Westfield Pure Food School.

For a number of years through the State livestock sanitary board it has carried out a Spring vaccination against an thrax and blackleg and State Veterin arian C. J. Marshall has notified all the veterinarians of the State and all stock owners upon whose premises cither anthrax or blackleg has existed in recent years, that the vaccination cannot be carried on by the State agents this year. The department, however, will supply the materials for vaccination to qualified veterinarians. Vaccination is strongly urged by the State livestock sanitary board, and stock owners who desire protection are urged to get into touch with a qualified veterinarian who in turn must notify the State livestock board of the names and addresses of owners of stock wishing protection and the num ber of cattle to be vaccinated. Veter inarians receiving supplies must sub mit reports of ail work and the re sults obtained. The vaccinations carried on by the State In former years have saved the stock owners thousands of dollars. Were it not for the vaccinations, par AS WE GROW OLDER our minds are quite as active as in former years but our strength does not respond when we need it most; perhaps the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid, rheumatic pains or stiffened joints beset us, and we cannot easily throw off the colds that winter brings. What we need is the rich cod liver oil in Scott's Emulsion to renew the blood and carry strength to every organ of the body, while its glycerine soothes the res piratory tract, and its hypophosphites strengthen the excitable nerves. Scott's Emulsion is a scientific oil food, of unusual benefit to those past fifty years —particularly during the colder seasons, it imparts warmth and creates strength. One bottle will prove its worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs. «colt & Howne. BloouilitlU.N. J. IS-36 ticularly those against anthrax, it would be impossible to use many good pastures in this State that are per manently infected. State Veterinarian Marshall says: "There is no doubt but these two di seases can be prevented by vaccination if the vaccine is given properly at the j right time. On premises where the i disease has existed in previous years it is best that the vaccination should be made before the stock is turned out in the Spring, for the reason that it i can be done much more conveniently while the animals are in the stable. Jt is not safe for the vaccinated animals to be exposed to either of these di seases for from ten days to two weeks j after the vaccine is given. The im munity produced by the vaccine in j either disease lasts for about one year, j hence the necessity of making annual, vaccinations. You should arrange to j havo this done at least three weeks be fore you plan to turn your stock to pasture." MILKMAN'S CHARIOT COMES TO GRIEF ON SECOND ST.

Do you realize that most of the pain ful and comfort destroying diseases such as lumbago, rheumatism, pains, backaches, headaches, etc., may be caused by acid crystals in the kidneys?

The best advice for this is to drink plenty of good water, eat lots of fresh vegetables and always keep the filter ing walls of the kidneys free from clogging impurities. You cannot force water through rubber, neither can the kidneys strain the poisonous impuri ties from the blood if they are coated with waterproof acid crystals. A new discovery for keeping the kid neys free from uric acid is meeting With remarkable success.
