A “Devil Wagon” Being Put to
Good Use in Chicago.
It Ik Probably Hie Flrttt of I(k Kind In
the World nnd linn Attracted
Considerable Xotice in
That City.
On a recent Sunday a Chicago paotor
preached on the topic of ''Automobile
Christianity.” Just what peculiar or
particular type of Christianity was
meant is not clear, but it is reasonable
to suppose that the preacher had in
mind an up-to-date Christianity which
was keeping pace with modern thought
and development. But whatever "Au
tomobile Christianity” may or may not
be we doubt the dignity and propriety
of the term. And while one Chicago
pastor is talking of Automobile Chris
tianity, another pastor has been laying
the automobile lleet under tribute and
preaching the good old Gospel from it
to the multitudes as they gathered on
the street corners.
Chicago, we feel confident in assert
ing, is the only city in the United
States, or the world for that matter,
which has a “Gospel Automobile.” In
connection with street meetings in that
city there have been at various times
novel features to draw the crowds and
give the speaker an audience, but we
think this is the first time the automo
bile has appeared as an adjunct of the
religious meeting. The Morrill Twins
used to haul their unique Gospel ship
to the downtown street corner and
from Its deck preach and sing the Gos
pel. A year or two ago a converted
cowboy and horse trainer appeared on
the Lake Front park and after break
ing a young and untraetable horse he
■would preach the Gospel from the back
of the conquered animal, and great
were the crowds he gathered. And
now comes the Gospel automobile.
In the minds of most people the
rushing, puffing horseless carriage is
to a greater or less degree associated
with the world, the flesh and the devil.
It is the modern engine of death on the
street corner, it is the particular dread
of the farmer, who is its sworn and
deadly enemy, it is the latest fad of the
rich who are rushing into the new di
version with all the recklessness of a
pleasure-loving nature, and the Sunday
automobile run is the immediate suc
cessor of that great Sabbath desecrator,
the bicycle run, and so when it is found
that one automobile is running circum
spectly in the straight and narrow path
and seeking to perform a mission in
the effort to reach the masses with the
Gospel, it Is worths' of mention. The
public wants to know about the Gospel
automobile.
Rev. Dr. George E. Burlingame, pas
tor of the Covenant Baptist church, of
Chicago, is the man who has opened up
new possibilities for the automobile.
Two deep convictions are strikingly op
erative in his life: One is thatmenneed
Christ, and the other is that ministry
has failed to improve its full and some
times best opportunity to bring Christ
to men when it neglects the open-air
service. Christ did most of His preach
ing in the open air. So did the early
disciples, and so have all the great
Gospel ministers since that day. And
with these two convictions burning in
his breast and spurring him on. he has
for years coupled open air work with
his regular church work. All during
the past summer on Sunday evenings
Just prior to the evening services in the
church, the Gospel has been sung and
the Word preached on the street cor
ners in the section of the city where
the church is located.
When one of Dr. Burlingame's dea
cons purchased an automobile runa
bout, he was quick to enlist it in the
Masters service. Our illustration gives
a view of the horseless carriage with
its placard announcing the meeting and
Its location. The pastor is seated at
the left with his faithful deacon and
chauffeur at his side. The chorister
and organist and baby organ which
have helped to make the meetings a
success, are shown in the foreground.
There was no attempt at sensational
ism. The adtomobile attracted atten
tion. of course, as it was run through
the district where the meeting was to
be held, as it was intended it should,
but the speed of the machine was mod
erate and dignified, and rolled quickly
tip to the appointed corner. During
the singing and after the preaching
tracts and cards of invitation to the
regular church services were distrib
uted by the pastor’s large corps of
workers. And in its new field the au
tomobile has proved a pronounced suc
cess.

Pretty flits of Finery That Enter In
to the Comitottftion of the
Season's Costumes.
A supple satin in marine blue, black
| and brown, with large panne spots, is
favored for matrons, says Brooklyn
Eagle.
It is predicted that white velvet will
have considerable vogue during the com
ing winter for bridal gowns.
All the season’s skirts are round, de
fine the figure at the top and are extrav
! agantly full at the base.
Winter millinery inclines to the di
| rectoire modes, black velvet hats with
! long plumes being accorded the premier
I position.
Ivory shirt waist sets are new. The
| colors are black and white and the de
' signs are unique and handsome.
To keep delicately tinted tea or ball
gowns clean around the edges, put three
graduated ruches under the hem.
j If the big, black picture hat is too try
ing sc.ften the extreme edge of the brim
by binding it with an inch thick of tulle
I ruching.
Favorite hair ornaments are wreaths
| of convolvuli and leaves in black and
silver, a Louis XVI. bow, or large but
| terfly.
For those who like a rich material for
j reception gowns satin taupe (moleskin)
is put forward as le dernier cri.
For evening wraps the new zibeline
and plush cloths in white have the pref
erence. although silver gray is a much
admired tint.
The fancy for white and black spots
has spread to feather boas, an example
being a white one, on which were large
spots both in black chenille and feathers.
The newest furs show a happy mixture
of two and three kinds, as. for in
stance, a silver fox pereline, with an er
mine crossover scarf finished with two
black ribbon velvet rosettes from which
depend sable tails.

Potato paint is a novelty which is said
to adhere well to wood and plaster, and
to be very cheap. To make it, boil one
pound of peeled potatoes, mash, dilute
with water and pass through a sieve;
then add two pounds of Spanish white
in four pounds of water. Different col
ors can be had by the use of the ordinary
mineral powders.

freeze like ice cream.—Home Maga

A doctor in an institution with many
children declares that nothing irritates
a cough more than to cough. He bribed
the children in one of the hospital
wards to bold their breath when
tempted to cough, and was himself sur
prised at the speedy relief of some of
them.

beauty wasn't even skin deep, "how

"It is an even break,” replied the

you are not marrying me to reform

The following essay by a youthful
boarding school boy throws quite a new
ami interesting light on church digni
taries. "There are three kinds of clergy
men bishups rectors and curats. the
bishups tell the rectors to work and the
curats have to do it. Curat is a thin
married man but when he is a rector he
gets fuller and can preech longer sermons
and bceums a good man, we should all
ways rispect a curat because sum day be
may becum a rector and we must alhvays

Secretary Woman’s State Federa
tion Says: “Pc-ru-na Does More
Than is Claimed for it.”
Mrs. Julia M. Brown, Secretary of the
Woman’s State Federation of California,
writes from 131% Fifth St., Los Angeles,
Cal., as follows:
“I have never known of any patent
medicine which did what it professed to
do except Peruna. This remedy does
much more than it claims, and while I
have never advocated any medicine I
feel that it is but justice to speak a good
word for it because I have found it to bt
.such a rare exception.
"I have known several women wh<
were little better than physical wrecks
mothers who dragged out a miserable
painful existence, but were made wel
and strong through the use of Peruna
I have known of cases of chronic catarr!
which were cured in a short time, whei
a dozen different remedies had been e::
perimented with and without good re
suits. I use it myself when 1 feel nerv
ous and worn out, and I have alwayi
found that the results were most satis
factory.” JULIA M. BROWN.

A PROMINENT CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES HER LIFE TO PE-RU NA.
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Life-Long
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.
A woman confined to the house for
several years with a chronic female
derangement had finally given up hope
of being cured.
She had tried physician aftrr physi
cian. and remedy after remedy, without
any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost, her husband
who was a poor man, hundreds of dol
lars. They had been obliged to deny
themselves many comforts of life In
order to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged, be
cause of the want, of a mother’s care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that Dr. Hartman would treat
such cases free of charge by letter. She
immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp
toms.
She soon received a letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began the
treatment (the principal remedy being
Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks she
was well and strong again, able to do
her own work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may need
the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment will
be promptly answered, and be held
strictly confidential.
Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas
of Yemassee Council of Red Men
(Women’s Branch), writes from S72
Eighth Ave., New York:
“Three months ago I was troubled
with backache and a troublesome heavi
ness about the stomach. Sleep brought
me no rest for it was a restless sleep.
The doctor said my nervous system
was out of order, but his prescriptions
didn’t seem to relieve me. I was told
that Peruna was good for building tip
the nervous system. After using it for
two months I know now that it is. I
want to say that it made a new woman
of me. The torturing symptoms havo
all disappeared and I feel myself again.
Peruna did me more good than all the
other medicines I have taken.”
ANNIE HOBAN.
' Miss Mamie Towell, Lake Charles,.
[ Louisiana, writes:
> “I sincerely believe that Peruna is
\ woman’s best friend, for it has certainly
t | been that to me. I had had headaches,
, backaches and other aches every month.
for a long time, but shortly after I be
. gan taking Peruna this was a thing of'
the past, and I have good reason to be
grateful. I take a bottle every spring
and fall now. and that keeps my health
1 perfect, and I certainly am more robust
. now than I have been before and ant
, weighing more. I do not think any
1 one will he disappointed in the results
obtained from the use of Peruna.”
MISS MAMIE POWELL.
’ If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna„
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a.
full statement of your case, and he will1
- be pleased to give you his valuable ad-,

Mrs. Hattie La Fountain, Treas. Protected Home Circle and Catholic
Ladies of Ohio, writes from Gal ion. 0., as follows :
“After my first child was born I suffered for several months with '
bearing down pains accompanied by dreadful headaches. I was afraid <
my health was ruined for life, and felt very downcast about It. One day
when a friend was visiting me she told me of Peruna and what it had
done for her when she suffered with Irregular menstruation. My husband
procured a bottle the same evening and I began to take it daily according
to directions. Before the first bottle was used l was entirely well, and
you certainly have one grateful woman’s blessing. I have also advised
my friends to use it. ” MRS. MATTIE LA FOUNTAIN.
