Now a panel of celebrity judges have listed the world's 10 best-dressed brides. And the winner is ... Bianca Jagger, way back in 1971.
Actress Martine McCutcheon, model Jemma Kidd and hairdresser Charles Worthington chose Bianca's unconventional wide-brimmed hat and revealing white jacket because it " captured the moment in time and epitomised the style and energy of the day".
But everyone on the list, compiled for magazine Cosmopolitan Bride, "really stood out and are to this day copied time and time again," said editor Marina Licht.
The top 10 included the fairytale gown in which Grace Kelly wed Monaco's Prince Rainier, Cindy Crawford's beach dress and the Fifties femininity of Audrey Hepburn. But while the Queen was number nine, Princess Diana failed to make the list.

copies this sprints Do your Zpart r t SidNU JACK FROST Shakespeare the Infidel the great est of all English writers uses tho killing of tho buds by tho frost as an Instance of the disappointment our I Write this April I am ing deeply and sadly this disappoint ment and I want my Infidel friends who read this to send marked copies of it to preachers and ask them to answer this piece for print in the Blade There are many degenerate Christians and some mugwump Infi dels who will be glad to hear that I am distressed and unhappy about my fruit trees apples pears peaches yesterday all full of beautiful blooms giving me hope of pleasure that they would give to me and to others the greatest part of the pleasure to me being the thought of their pleasure and health to others rich and poor black and white old and young for I never sell any of them but this morn ing they are all dead My enemies will enjoy It because they hate me Preachers especially will enjoy it They will say they dont but they are liars and make their liv ings by lying They will claim to think that God Intended this for my good to win me away from my love of this world where I have been by Christians as saulted and insulted and fined and Im prisoned irnd make me want to go to heaven that will be filled with my Christian cimles and with all the men and wUDenwho have been hung for crimes and where I shlMnJJave the pleasure OfWUlklnga thoAliquor m rwhoffaM we shouldIovo our energy and hate our ow ilies and thnt his religion was to be propagated by tho sword All of this would be all satisfactory and logical 4f only I an Infidel who defies and despises all such stuff was to be the sufferer from this But even then if God is a good and wise God ho would do that which is calculated tp make me love and honor him while nobody but a fool of a liar will claim that there Is any thing in this kind of dealing with mos They call him Heavenly Father and any father who would so treat his children would be called a fool and a brute and be put In jail or a lunatic asylum for It If I were to treat my children In that way Zachary and Wilkinson would let up on my stealing Mr Muirs hogs and give us something fresh about my brutality In my own 1 have two neighbors whose business is fruit raising and their fruit Is all killed just the same as the way alnt It strung that they put me In jail and the peniten tiary for my religious opinions and didnt even arrest me nor indict me nor in any way take any cognizance of the fact that I stole Muirs hogs Strange old place this Kentucky My two fruit raising neighbors are named Sheley and Hlllenmeyer The first a Protestant and the latter a Catholic both good men and valuable citizens that have been friends to me are my wife Sheley is a poor man dependent upon his labor In his orchard and garden and Hlllenmeyer is a rich man and two moro exemplary men do not live In Now hero are the rich CatholicChristian and the poor Protestant Christian and the athlcst who Is neither rich nor poor and yet God treats us all exactly alike by destroying the fruits of our lab after he had given us reason to hope that we would enjoy those fruits Nobody but a fool or liar will pretend that such doings by any God shows any goodness or any commonsense and teaching people to worship such a God is just what has debased our American people and the Russians to being the liars and thieves and murderers that they are while the Japanese who believe in no God are now the greatest and best people on earthIf had raised these fruit trees for my own personal animal gratifica tion that would have been another thing But told iriy wife when I planted them that they were forte lVtv those to use after I am dead and nearly all the happiness In It to me was the hope of making others hap pyNo Intelligent and honest man In the world will say that God or anything else but the laws of nature had anything to do with the killing of my fruit and yet there are In America 150000 men who are making fine livings without labor by teach ing the people that God does these thingsP A few hours after tho above was written found that my fruit was not killed and now the ques tion Is why did God want to give me all that unhappiness from suppos ing that it was killed Much of It was killed but there was too much bloom on the trees at first Why did God make too much bloom at first If his wisdom is shown in kill ing part of It by frost I have only spoken to one other man about his fruit He is a poor Christian man and he Is poor because he is a drunk ardHe had nothing but peaches and he says they are all killed If there is any God I would have had more respect for him if he had killed all of my fruit and saved all of the poor mans Nobody but a fool would ever clude there Is a God from observing the facts in nature- PASTORS FUNCTION Discussed By Dr Moore In Closing Lecture Ministry Must do Its Part In Sociolo gical Problems Dr Frederick W Moore of Vander hilt University delivered the third andclosing iSctufiTW Ute Gay series std6i2The Spclplo gof the Christian Ministry In the first address the speaker ieldUhat the scientific spirit and method which now pervades educa tion so completely is not atheistic and unchristian and urged Christians to make themselves expert in using it for religious ends The situation is delicate and criti cal for the suffering classes are Ing to deny God despise religion and hate the church because they believe God religion and the church to belong to their enemies The above Is part of the account from the CourierJournal and goes to show that Infidelity Is getting in its work among all the first class schools The fact that Moore says that the scientific spirit is not atheistic and Unchristian shows that he understands that the general sentiment Is that science favors atheism and is opposed to Christianity else he never would have made the statement and espec ially to a gang of young gospel sling ers His statement that the poor are coming to consider the church as their enemies is true and natural The rich have their big rich churches Into which the rich women flaunt themselves to show their glad rags and diamonds and to which old he liars and hypocrites and rakes go for business motives and for intrigues with women The poor are neither ex pected nor desired In these churches and little lurches are built for the poor to keep them away from the rich and the poor have sense enough to see the graft and of course hafe the church IMPROVEMENT IN THE BLADE I congratulate tho Blade readers Including myself on the Improvements fn the Blade The printing Is now beautiful and the typographical errors are fast disappearingan oven now inconsiderable and will probably soon entirely disappear The Blade has al ready gone far ahead of my most san guine expectation or reasonable hope when I first began it I hope the Blades friends will show their appreciation of Mr Hughes energy and competence In this matter by doing all they reasonably can to spead the circulation of the Blade- I do not think that any of us including myself fully appreciate what the Blade Is doing BELOVED More of our time spent In obeying and less in praying would very much improve human additions iJ C4 i c CIVILIZED PEOPLE WHO DO WITHOUT RELIGION No Clergyman to Minister to Neva dans In an Area as Large as Massachusetts Connecticut And Delaware Reno Nev March 23C A Short counltycovered the startling fact that nowhere In Its confines Is there such a thing as even a missionary house where the gospel Is preached Probably It is the greatest extent of country In the civilized world whore a minister Is not stationed or where religious services are not held There is a population of several thousand people In this territory including such wellknown towns as Delamar Ploche Moapa and others The vast country covers a greater area than Massachu setts Connecticut and Delaware com bined There Is norecord In any section of the country where religious services have been held for years There Is no explanation for this strange condition for the country at present is more prosperous than at any time in its history and new towns are springing up there almost every day And still Christians say that with out their religion there could be no happiness of civilization j DOG FENNEL r oilge nfngf out e V Jerusalem I bTave Just finished the pamphlet by iianiel K Tenney Madison Wls conMn lawyer called Holy Smoke in the Holy Land Tenny is an Infidel and of course would not hesitate to tell any thing that he might know about Jerusalem and religion The pamphlet is of nineteen pages about like the print of Dog Fennel and Is sold for ten cents I may have sketched over It before this Strange to say Tenney seems nover to have seen or known any alleged tomb of Jesus except the ridiculous fake shown In the church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem as that tomb and ho describes that Nor does Tenney seem to have known of the real place where Jesus was born In Bethlehem called a cave in the Apocryphal New Testament but only knows of the silly sham call ed the place of the Nativity In the Church of the Nativity McGarvey of Lexington from my cursory reading of his book does not seem to have known of the true birthplace or true burial place I only know of Mark Twains Innocents Abroad from reading It when it first came out forty years ago and I remember his account of the fake grave of Jesus and do not think he knew anything about the true one The reason of this Is that the faker places are surrounded by walls so as to get money for admission to see them and the other places are not recognized by the Christians there because no money can be gotten for seeing them There were many of our party who saw as I did the real place where Jesus was born but I only knew of seven I being one of them and no preacher or priest Included who saw the real place where Jesus was burled Two of the party who were with me and saw the true grave of Jesus are Mr and Mrs I W Copelln of Toledo Ohio ho being a rich wholesale coal merchant and he would be found by that address They are nice good people and were splendid friends to me I do not know their religious opinions and I refer to them in confirmation of what I say and hope that some Blade readers will send them marked copies of this are ticle and get their statement about it It seems unaccountable except upon the theory that I give but I believe that Jesus was born In Bethlehem and crucified and burled in a tomb In that garden outside the walls of Jerusalem j f J t and that Dog Fennel In the OrleCt Is the only book about the Holy Land that tells of the true place where Jesus was born and the real place where he was burled It Is per fectly preposterous to suppose that he was born In that grotto in the church of the Nativity and preposterous to suppose he was burled In that hole in the Church of the Holy Sepul cher but It is thoroughly reasonable that he was born in that dugout In Bethlehem and that he was buried in that neglected garden at the foot of Calvary ANOTHER LIFE SAVING BIBLE LIE A small Testament placed in her Jack et on the left side was all that thwart ed a daring attempt made to assassin ate Mrs Marie Rose by an unknown woman about dusk last evening at the mouth of an alloy on Twentyfifth St between Montgomery St and Port land avenue The Testament which she carried caught a vicious stroke of a sharp knife The plunge of the sharp instrument made a rent in a heavy cloak and a bodice which Mrs Rose wore The back of the Testa ment which is of heavy board was cut In twain and some of the leaves of the book were torn out Mrs Rose at her home 2520 Catalpa St last night said that the wearing of the book In her bosom was undoubtedly a providential act The testament which Mrs Rose car sled belonged to Miss Mattie Callen der a friend of hers who resides in Portland Mrs Rose had borrowed the book and was on her way to the Church of Christ at Twentyfifth and Portland avenue when the attempt Iln her life was made She had been engaged during the day delivering a Ttaration for clearing water which en ted meeting ISTn HCgfess at UilWHTfrEh of Christ of which she Is a member Mrs Rose took supper with Mrs William Baker who resides near Twentyfifth proIceeding on way to the church when the unknown woman approached her from behind and halted her This particular brand of Christian lie is getting to be almost as com mon as Infidels falllngvdead fQr blas pheming The above account occurs In the CourierJournal When peoples lives are saved from bullets by a Testament In their pockets the ball always stops at a passage In the book that shows It was provl they ought to arrange these dagger cases so that the point of the dagger would stop right at one of those passages- I hate to see a good lie left incom plete REVIVAL DRIVE PEOPLE INSANE Dr Gorst of Mendota Blames Liquor And Religious Excitement for Many Cases of Insanity Madison Wis March 2SThe as sembly committee on penal and char itable institutions together with mem bers of the state board of controland others visited the insane at Mendota Saturday

after every great revival in the state the books of the asylum show a decided increase in the number of In mates whose malady is caused by igious excitement The above Is one of the many testimonies that the late revivals are producing insanity and suicide THE ARREST OR MOSES HARMAN From Secular Thought Canada The editor of the Lucifer has again been arrested for publishing objectionable matter In his paper We have read some of the articles on sex ology and marriage that have appeared In Lucifer though we must confess that our time Is too limited to enable us to do more than occasionally skim over It columns but we feel justified In saying that the arrest of Mr Harman Is as gross a piece of injustice as the Imprisonment of Charley Moore on l 4a charge of advocating free loveianddenounced y man and has already been fined and imprisoned on several occasions on the same charge though there was only one instance we believe where an objectionable word was used by Lucifer have not exceeded the Hmlu him Otherwise the discussions in Lucifer have not exceeded the limits that would be necessary in discussing Mormonism or Mahomedanlsm and the general character of them has In our opinion rather been crude and Asiman advocated a system under which married couples would occupy not separate bedrooms but separate houses In different parts of a town enly visiting eacli other

Including some from England while we sent our finest Including Dr Torrey to Eng land in anticipation of making the year 1905 a period of tho most wonder ful religious revival that the world has ever known It was said that these marvelous seasons of revival came in cycles of 33 years and that It had been just 33 years since the great religious excitement of Moody and Sankey It was an Instance of the very common and illogical habit among Christians of drawing a gener al conclusion from an individual in had been no famous revival 33 years before that nor years before that unless it was among the Indians before the white people came hero and history does not depose about it The Indians have very extensive igious revivals but they are not strictly orthodoxy according to Christian criteria Their principal religious ceremonies are the Sun dance killing a lot of their enemies and filling up on dog soup or burgoo as they call it in Kentucky I am writing now on April 1905 The whole revival has been pulled off and quieted down for a month past and the evangelists whose pictures filled the papers until the football and pugilist and racehorse Jockey heroes came Into the public eye have gotten their swag really or quasiIn the pockets of their carefully creased breeches legs and have gone to their home to remain their in Innocuous deseutude like hib ernated groundhogs for another 33 years when they will come out again and took at their shadows and pro ceed to business again if they wero telling what they thought was true a few months ago about the 33 years cycles By that time I will be plunk- Ing a harp and wearing golden slippers and will not be worried by them I ns odatl uaa Id u snot 1M lpendlture of money and printers Ink and vociferation and gesticulation If e they did not make converts enough to pay for all this it has been a failure A few dozen more souls roasting In everlasting fire and brimstone would not be worth wasting time on when there are if the Christian rellgtou be true billions and trillions and quadril lions of souls thus roasting now If no missionaries had ever been sent to China for instance with her 400 millions of people the New Testa ment arranges for a plan by which say one out of a score of Chinamen could have been saved simply on the ground that he is a haythen Chinee but tho gospel having been sent to that country and declined with thanks except one in 10000 who ac cepts It to get a job with tho Christian missionaries the remaining 9999 are simply dead sho booked for eternal fire and brimstone and the worm that dlth not and the perpetual maggot John F Clarke We will assume though that which best suits the Infidel purpose that the revivals have been a magnificent suc cess though the conversions seem to have been confined to boys and girls at school that in one Instance that know of were marched in in a body by a woman principal of a public school and all enlisted in the A R c in one big awkard squad In the whole United States the papers do not report a single Instance of any matured man or woman of any promi nence who has joined the church In the year 1905 If It could be demon strated that being converted to Chris tianity saved a man from going to hell a very unpleasant climate and took him to heaven where the climate Is said to be better though some say the society Is not so good it might be worth while to take much pains to save these school girls and the boys that they being In with them in Cali fornia Kentucky and Indiana the only places where the revival is said to have raged though ij didnt amount to much of an epidemic in Kentucky But the more intelligent class of the people who apploglze for Christianity do not claim to believe at all in the heaven and hell part of religion but they say It is good for the morals of the people hero and their only argu ment is If the people are as wicked as they are now under the restrain ing influence of religion what in the h will it be If this religious influence were removed S We have had the revival and now if this restraining influence of Chris tianity is a fact and not a fiction ought we not reasonably to expect a percepltible diminution of crime The revival was more strenuous in Los An geles California than any place In America because that was a good place for he evangelist to go to spend an unpleasant part of the year That Angelic town reports a large Increase ln suiclde and insanity and I have neither heard nor read of any improvement in the moral condition of that country while the old time Infi dels seem to have taken on a new zeal for the B B The only place In this part of the country where the revival prevailed its like hog cholera breaks out In spots was at Louisville Ky The other day Roosevelt went there and certain houses were guarded and extra police and detectives placed all through the crowd to keep somebody from killing him just as they do in Russia thing unprecedented In the annals of American history There was an abortive attempt to have are vival In Lexington but the main guy of religion In that town the Campbel lite church was all busted up over the question of having or not having or gans in their churches the echo of which 1200 miles off in the Indian Territory has put all the Campbellltes at each others throats under the leadership of my man Wilkinson and his Gospel Searchlight Still the vival has not been without its effects in Lexington have heard the name of only one convert therea poor country gIrl one of my neighbors who is there at school who was a nice sweet ordinary country girl before and who iwlll now probably bloom out into a Campbellito bigot full of zeal and argument to prove that ducking is all hunky and sprinkling n g as modes of baptism She will certainly belong to the organ faction as she plays on an accordeon and that faction is the winning Qne In Lexington On the other hand following in the wake of the revival we have a Camp belllto preacher named Baker and a Circuit Judge named Hargis and a half dozen officers of his court all Ing tried for the penitentiary the preacher for stealing and the judge and his officers for murdernot the decent kind of killing when two high toned gentlemen like Goodloe and Swppo niet on the streets and each killed the Bother showing they had pluck and doing what they did In the broad epgu daylight and like editor xIuuh ava of eta worthy of emulation as compared with the Christian sneaks that now in the dark or in ambush shoot the other fellow In the back with a Winchester rule at long range and then lay it on some body else or scoot out of the country to some other state where a governor of his politics will protect him These are only local insances that came under my personal observation while since the revival more than ever if possible the papers are filled with accounts of suicides and murders a new feature being introduced into the murder department that of wo men who murder men and women and who are murdered by men and women while a Paducah Ky woman murders her three daughters to mary a man who would not have her with all her children and then religiously attended their funerals at a church PAINE TALMAGE MOORE Philadelphia March 20 1905 ExRev Chas C Moore Dear sirAs a subscriber to the Blade I thought your readers might be interested in a prophecy that was made by the Rev T Dewitt Talmage that was not fulfilled It was about the marble bust of Thomas Paine that was presented to Independence Hall in and not accepted by City Council As Talmage is dead and no monument is erected to his memory you will see that this prophecy has not been fulfilled He said In his paper Christian at Work July 13 187C The work of monument building and biography is being slightly overdone It matters not how big a scamp a man Is after he is dead he will find a eu logist and a minister to preach him to Burr the heap of compost and Lord Byron the slush of London Society after departure won books ot panegyric Now a subscription is started for raisins a monument to Tom Paine in Independence Hail 700 has already been subscribed and as much more promised This is because Tom Paine wrote a book called mon Sense and other tracts of a pa triotic character at the opening of the Revolution But shall that make us forget that he wrote the most vulgar and refarlous assault on Christians and that he died in filth that would make a pigpen seem a parlor We put Tom Paines Age of Reason against Tom Palnes Common Sense moreI iL ScripturesIor near the faces of George Washington and John Q Adams Come get out your dollars and have put in a bronze or niarbel Robespieno Jim Fisk Bill Tweed and Bob Ingor soil Seriously we hope the most cret spot of American patriotism wll never be disgraced by the visage of Tom Paine who lived a fool and died like a beast The bust of Tom Palms that cost 1500 was denied admittance to In dependence Hall by request of one ov Talmages admirers Chas Thompson Jones from Manayunk In a brilliant speech he spoke with the eloquence of Talmage and with the samo amount of truth but the scripture was fulfilled You will know the text about a He to servo a purpose As other skypilots not half as bril liant have been given a change in the Blade Why not Talmage on Paine be heard with comments by pastor Moore Jas B Elliott Secretary of Paine Monument Association Talmage made a death struggle to keep himself in the public eye until death should shut oft his wind but he did not succeed He was kicked around from pillar to post and by all proper people recognized as a fake and a fraud and a dead beat before he was dead and am under the impression that many people do not know or have forgotten that he ever died at all thinking that his fool preacher boy of the same despised name in Gall fornia is still the old man But the old fellow is dead and in hell if the ble tells the truth about the needle go Ing through the Campbellltes eye for old Talmage died rich and through his whole life was out for the stuff regardless I have heard him preach heard hint lecture read his books and his paper and have seen him and talk ed to him in his own home in Wash ingtonI also seen his wife and she was a daisy and wore glad rags to killOld Tat let his first wife drown In the Schuyllflll river while he was saving himself and another woman and then he married the womah

the other hand Tom pat e the man who said The world Is my country humanity my brethcren sand to do good my religion is moro loved today and more honored and known than when he died a hundred years a hundred years from now Tal mage will be no more known thou Wil kinson or Zachary or some of the ZacharyMuir Cholera hogs that are prominent characters In the Gospel Searchlight Tom Paine was the great est and grandest of all American char acters Washington was hardly fit to black Paines boots Beccher and Cleveland and Ingersoll stood in a class to themselves as men who stuffed their craws with fine grub and in great quantities Jefferson Paine and Lincoln were another and higher class of abstainers and of highly spirituelle natures Paine was against liquor drinking and for equal rights for women and opposed to slavery and ho was the inventor of the iron bridge and was thin first man who wrote the words The United States of America He was not the author of the Con stitution of the United States as we now have It but ho wrote the first draft of the Constitution of the United States und submitted it to Jefferson who completed It as it now is George Washington and Talmage and Bob Ingersoll all run through a trinity machine would not make one Tom Paine Monuments may do for Washington and Ingersoll but Socrat tes and Tom Paine need no storied urn or animated bust to perpetuate their fame They wrote their names across the skies and the modern preacher preaches more about Tom Paine than he does about Jesus Christ and the Devil put together WILKINSONS TOWN Minister Killed in Dugout Comanche Elder J White for mer pastor of the Methodist church here was killed by a dugout on his farm thirteen miles northwest of here caving in on him He and his family were sleeping in the dugout when it caved in and injured him so badly that ho only lived a few min utes after being taken out His wife and children escaped with a few slight injuries The above is In tho Indian Territory I have seen think some where something that indicated that some body thought the dugout to which Ingersoll alludes is a primitive bpat It is a hole in the ground in which people live They took the cue from the prairie dog IF YOU SHOULD DIE Dedicated to Mrs Josephine K Hen ry by one who is honored In signing himself her friend I believe if you should die The planets would eclipse in sky To dress the

both of whom enjoy reputations as fluent talkers and trained debaters The debate will be on the question Was the World Created in Six Days Each Day Consisting of TwentyFour Hours The affirmative will be championed by F C Bishop of Cynthiana and the negative by Dr J Allen Viney of Dan ville with Drs J W Frazier George Zeigler and W L Johnson as judges The debate will bo held at St Pauls M E Church

Deuteronomy 5 tho ten mandments are again given and they are the same as those given In Exodus xx except in the reason given for ob serving the Sabbath Exodus xx says perfectly plainly that the Sabbath was established to commemorate the fact that God took six days make the world and the stars also and rest ed on the seventh- In the giving of the ten command ments decalogue in Deuteronomy V there Is no allusion whatever to the fact alleged that God worked six days and rested on the seventh but it Is plainly stated Deuteronomy V 15 that the Sabbath was established to commemorate the fact that God brought the Jews out of Egypt The verse Is as follows And remember that thou wast a servant In the land of Egypt and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and n stretched out arm therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath dayIThis language Is absolutely conclu sive In explaining that the reason of the Sabbath was to commemorate the dellverenco of the Jews from the Egyp and equally as plain is the teach ing of Exodus XX that the purpose of the Sabbath was to commemorate the fact that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh Both of these chapters claim to give tho exact words of the ten command ments as they were written on the two tables of stone by the fingers of God Exodus 18 and Deuteronomy 9 and yet not only Is there a difference of expression concerning the two accounts of the origin of the Sabbath but entirely different reasons are assigned for having a Sabbath Of course common intelligence dic tates that both of these accounts can not be correct oven If we were to ad nut that one of them is correct The Christians I know not what the Jews say about ItYcompletely Ig VIto commemorate the

fourth meaning anything else than what we now commonly mean by day a period of hours embracing an evening and a morning as the Bible expresses Itthat is the light part and the dark part of the hours

of Dr T J Ed wards of Olney Illinois I had a heart laugh seeing how easily preachers lies are propagated and raised to per fection i The fun about the whole matter Is not the conversion of the alleged Infl del but that the same lie should reI peat itself among Christians without 1raising a single question on their std as veracity of all the foolish as r sertlons Tho conversion of Dr T J Edwards is nothing more nor less that a parallel of my conversion of last years outcropping The only differ enca between Dr Edwards and mysell is that he made an open confession on hearing the sermon of Rev P C Cauble while I after lecturing on freethought was forced to Jpln the church for lack of patronage To show you how faithful to tho Bible and how Inventive some Christians are in the production of original lies I have but to refer to the place of meeting when I was to deliver my lecture I was promised the use of tho Court House r to lecture in I advertised it in the local papers and had bills posted over town announcing the time am +Subject of my lecture and would you suppose that that promise of using tin Court Houso was kept a standing lie for about three weeks or just before the night the lecture was to come oft when I was told that I could not have it for that purpose they expecting to cut mo clear off from my publicly an nounced Intention of lecturing on free thought but they found out their mis re In dealing with freethinkers Even though I havo to fight single handed I shall defend rational truth at any cost for twenty minutes later I had rented the Masonic Temple and had thrown bills broadcast all over town announcing the change of place and the result was a very fall audience Seeing that they codld not sidetrack my lecture some of the liars circulated the falsehood that ncI ladles would be admitted but ever that failed to effect its purpose as the Audience was fairly represented by the fair sex From that time lies about jny conversion were as plentiful as orthodox VJttittBkctm ask rritlansqi ed all sorts a abou my nversl e If 1e- If about theCort e bus ass I told him that I had no grudge against any Christian Seeing that they havent got the sense to realize the well meaning of our principles It would be unwise and even unjust foi any freethinker to waste time breeding hatred towards ignorance- In reviewing the Blade I note a con slderable change of tone in the line of corresponding preachers They seem to be so mixed up with Infidelity that it is hard to tell under what heat they might shift their shoulders if put to a severe test I also note that since they read the freouiought papers that that they have learned better manners and aro less abusive towards their neighbors tho Infidels and I trust that if wo keep up our well meaning teaching them the straight truth we will make them real gen l tlemenIt that your troubles wltl lying Campbelllto preachers has come chronic with such as Zachary and Wilkinson but you cannot ex pert to find truth among men whose chief resources of life are lying You might as reasonably expect to extract honey from polo cats And yet among the great multitude of mistaken preachers I know of one and a Camp belllte preacher at that right hero in Mt Sterling who is as nice agen Uenun as any freethinker I ever met I am on as good terms with him as I am with my liberal friends and I be clove that if all the preachers priests were like him there would be peaco and good fellowship Independ ently of opinions I would rather havo him on our side than a whole congre i gatlon of pretentious Christians

I made him tho proposl tion to have an oral debate for as many days as ho might choose From that tlmo ho acted like a wet hen find ing all sorts of untenablo excuses but I held him to his own shaft He

possible to develop similar power and intelligence In the majority of monkeys Tho talking ape at present simply repeats words and ex pressions like a parrot but the Bra zilian doctor says he thinks the mal will ultimately reach such a grade of Intelligence as to be able to express his desires in speech Dr Spelztechlzze concludes his report with the statement that he is confident monkeys can be

find them in the penitentiary DR J T EDWARDS The Converted Infidel Not Heard From- Smithlam Ij IaAprll 05 of Blue Grass Blade and its many readers- I have read about every Liberal and Infidel publication in the United States and I have never yet heard of Mr Edwards who has lately been converted to Christianity after having been for 20 years an Infidel This is an unusual affair As a rule when a good man leaves Christianity he Is enlightened and has a good cause for leaving life of superstition and once In line of Liberal belief he becomes more enlightened and be comes a better man and as he grows older grows firmer in his field of eral labor and It is almost impossi rte for a man of this class to go back into the old ruts of superstition The nan Edwards never did return unless he became insane The Rev Mr Cauble forgot to say to what asylum Mr Edwards was takenI the Catholic church 12 years ago and have written much against that church but no reader of the glade will over hear of Dr Stolls con version back to old Rome I Invite all Roman priests to try their hands on meDR L S STOLL ill will be remembered that the pa pers recently published an account of one Dr T J Edwards who had written many Infidel books who went to hear Rev P C Caubel and was converted In the second sermon and burnt his library in the streets All the story showed on Its face that It was a Christian lie and I said so and asked for information and this Is the first answer I have gotten Christian lies are helping Infi delity as much as Infidel truth Is CHRISTIAN SUICIDE Dr W L Starr Coroner of Floyd county at New Albany has completed his inquest on Miss Bessie Hawley f 1 who died at her home four miles north of that city Sunday night a few minutes after she had returned from a religious meeting That s from the CourierJournal and is another confirmation of Rev Stroughs statement that nobody but atheists suicide MORE ABOUT ly AND HIS DEBATE WITH WELCH Woolsey Ind Ter March 28 05 Mr C C Moore Dear sir Please correct a little nib take that appears in my letter to the Blade Wilkinson did not say to me that you misquoted him but that you misquoted the Bible or ancient his tory I forget which I dont thing ho thinks near as little of you as he makes out ho does He just says things to get jou to talk back Its such a splendid advertisement for him and his paper Thousand of people have heard of him since the debate that pever heard of him before Its just like a preacher to get all he can free- I dont think I was ever acquainted with but one preacher who turned In fidel He used to live In the Terri tory I think he lives In Western Tex as now I dont know what brought about his change of heart He might have read the Bible until he was convinced of its rpttenness or some heartless Infidel may have done a tle missionary work with the Blade I am inclined to think It was the lat terHis name was Calvin Maxwell You might get him to write up his exper fence for the Blade and tell us wheth er or not he Is happier since his changeI us to have the debate ween Welch and YHklnson as soon as the crops are laid by and I want you to be sure and come and get bet ter acquainted with the

course you could not afford to bog around here In the sand and grass you being used to walking on gravel roads and blue grass and thats why I say the sand must be shoveled out If you work the debat3 up so I will be sure it will come off I will be will- Ing to stay at home all the summer and wear my blue duckings and pumps and save my striped shirt for that special occasion Please tell Bro Snow that I am obliged to him for a Blade he sent me having his discussion with Wilkin son but that I do not think a discus sion in the Comanche News is deslr able and the Editor would have to get out of business Dont let any thing dishearten you but keep the Blade shining and cutting both ways and obllgeII MORRIS Old Bro Maxwell was at the debate He Is a sensible ahd good man and knows the Bible I have a high regard for the people of your country Ev ry body treated me kindly and courteously while there and nobody but Wilkinson has treated me discourteously since left there- can stand anything

Dry Skin
The skin is always subjected to exposure, be it the sun, heat, wind or pollutants. These are some external factors that contribute to drying of skin while some people have naturally dry skin. It can also be an inherited disorder which is termed as ichthyosis. Let's analyse dry skin in details in the following content.
Symptoms associated with Dry Skin
Dry skin is itself a visible symptom. We have explained some of the symptoms associated with dry skin to understand how it exactly feels like:
- Tightness and tautness in the skin
- Visible cracks, chaps or fine lines on the skin
- Stretched skin and bleeding
- Redness and roughness on the skin
- Scaly and flaky skin
- Itching on the skin
The skin of the feet, palm, lips and face are more prone to drying as they are easily deprived of moisture and are the most exposed parts of the body.
Causes of dry skin
Dry skin causes range from external factors like weather to internal problems of hormone. We elaborate them below:
- Drying of skin is very common in winter season. The moisture evaporates due to low humidity in the environment
- Taking frequent hot bath, sauna and exposing the skin to heat treatments or working continuously in a dry environment like in AC cause the skin to dry
- Exposing skin to harsh UV rays not only dries the skin but also makes it red and tanned
- Using detergents with naked hands, excessive scrubbing of skin, applying anti bacterial soaps, alcohol based products, etc.
- Ichthyosis vulgaris is a genetic skin disease that occurs mostly in the lower leg characterized by dryness and fishlike scales on the skin
- People suffering from hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, vitamin deficiency, atopic dermatitis, eczema, cellulitis, folliculitis, and psoriasis have severe dry skin problems
- Retinoid based creams for acne, high blood pressure pills and cholesterol lowering drugs induce dryness in skin
Are there any complications associated with dry skin?
Dry skin is not something to worry about until you have a skin disease like eczema. Since it's an initial symptom, neglecting the skin is certainly not advisable as it can lead to bleeding, development of cracks and fissures on the skin. The wound then becomes a breeding ground of bacteria.
When to see a doctor?
Visit a dermatologist if you observe allergy or rashes on the skin, if the dryness persists despite moisturizing and taking all precautions and if there's any open wound on the infected area.
Diagnosis of Dry Skin
Your dermatologist will perform a physical exam and scrutinize your skin very closely.
He will check your lifestyle, eating habits, the cosmetics you are using, bathing habits and other factors that contribute to the dryness. You will need to explain your doctor - since when you have observed the changes, the medicines you are taking, etc.
If he suspects skin infection or the dryness a consequence of hormonal problems, then you have to undergo some confirmatory blood tests.
Treatment of Dry Skin
If the test results are positive for skin diseases, then prescription drugs, medicated ointments, lotions, etc. are given to cure the problem. Hydrocortisone lotions are often prescribed to get rid of dryness. During the tenure of treatment your doctor might advice you to stop using all other cosmetic products except the ones suggested by him.
Vitamin E capsules help to moisturize the skin. If the problem is normal, then home remedies are the solution to it.
Home Remedies for Dry Skin
- Cover your skin while stepping out in the sun and avoid taking frequent hot showers
- Massage your body with vitamin E oils, almond, coconut or olive oil after taking bath
- Look for moisturizers containing lanolin, petroleum jelly, ceramides, alpha hydroxy acids, glycerine and mineral oils. Do not use alcohol based cosmetics
- Keep your skin always moisturized, especially while working in AC. You can keep a humidifier in your room
- Drink plenty of water
- Incorporate foods rich in omega-3-fatty acids like salmon, walnuts, almonds, flax seeds, etc.
Listen to your dermatologist's advice to regain the lost glory of your skin. Take care!
