A RemarKable Lecture.
Few men ever held a great audience
closer than did Jacob Rii- at the First
M. E. Church last night, when he told
the storv, vivid in spite of its plainness,
of his own "Battle with the Slum" of
New York. , All in all, it was one of
the moat ' remarkable lectures ever
heard in Jackson, in spite of the tact
that it was hut the plain story of a very
plain and unassuming man, who was
enobled by the consciousness of his
great mission. i The OutlooK circle of
King's Daughters deserves special credit
for assuming the responsibility of bring
ing him here. -Jackson (Mich.) Morn,

1 doing in the Western Union offices at

thing was burned out, the switchboard
ruined and the office put out of commis

ness can be attended to.
The damage is at least $500.

will contribute to this-end more
than effective spraying And
Effective Spraying can best be

Effective spraying means
High Pressure Spraying and
till the advent of the P.ban
Magics a high pressure couidWt
be maintained with a hand pump
for any length of time.on account
of the body-racking effort
needed to operate it. TheUcan
patent spring divides the work
between the two strokes of the
handle and works against only
one-half tho pressure shown on

one-thirj the labor. ,
