Student- Where the Locality does not Count A RESOLUTION Passed unanimously by those pres ent at the M. E. Church Sunday Morn ing, Dec. 10, 1911. The present armed peace of Christ endom is a scourge and a scandal. To day there are more guns and bayo nets, more bombs and shells, more soldiers on land, and more ships of war upon the seas, than in any pre ceding century In the history of the world. More money Is now expend ed in getting ready for war than was spent in former times In waging war. The burden of this military and na val equipment is stunting and de moralizing the life of the nation, and handicaping the progress of all humanitarian movements. Militarism Is one of the gigantic evils of our day. Against it the church of Christ must set itself in open and determln Wherever there are people suffer ing from kidney and bladder ailments, from backache, rheumatism and urin ary irregularities, Foley Kidney Pills will help them.

There was a se vere aching pain over my hips, fol lowed by lnflamatlon of th bladder, and always a thick sediment. Foley Kidney Pills made me a sound and well man. I can not say too much, in their praise." For sale by. Williams Drug Co.
