COME, LET US REJOICE.
The elevated tank for the new wa-
ter works system has been completed
and is ready for the water to be turn-
in, which will be done as soon as the
new machinery for pumping arrives, i
Work is progressing rapidly on the
new storage tank to be made of solid
concrete and have a capacity of 100,-
000 gallons. A 1000-watt electric
light has been placd on top of the!
elevated tank, which lights up the'
town in its vicinity and serves as a j
beacon light for travelers which can
be seen for scores of miles in all di-
rections. Saint Jo now has a modem
and complete little water system that
is probably second to none in the;
State in a town of our size, and will j
easily meet requirements of the State'
Fire Insurance Commission for re-
duction in our insurance rates.
In addition to this excellent modern
Water system, we are assured of a
sewerage system of adequate capaci-
ty for our needs for years to come,
provided enough citizens will become
(regular customers to justify the ex-
penditure, and we have no doubt a
sufficient number of agreements will
be easily secured.
And for all this we are indebted
to the Southern Utilities Company,
which has expressed its confidence in
the civic pride and spirit of progress
in Saint Jo to the extent of investing
approximately $100,000 here,provided
the sewerage proposition is consum-
mated. And1 that confidence should
not and will not be betrayed by our
citizenship.
The st substantial improvements
trill lead! to others, such as a modern
hotel,, a fire department with a volun-
teer (brigade, paved' streets, and var-
ious' and sundry other conveniences
for city life, which will make Saint
Jo one of the most desirable residence
towns in the State.
Let us rejoice, but not neglect to
keep up the stride we are now set-
ting.
GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME.
In Bermuda you ride in a carriage,
in the saddle or on a bicycle, for
trains, trolleys and! motor cars are
prohibited on the Island. That is one
reason why Bermuda has come to be
regarded as a fairyland—it is com-
fort in the 'nth degree, with all the
hustle and bustle left out,—and this
is only two days removed, on a pal-
atial steamer, from New York City.

Text: "Cain rose up against Abel
his brother .and him. And the
Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abet
thy brother? And he said, I know
not; Am I my brother's keeper?
And he said, What hast thou done?
The voice of thy brother's blood crieth
unto me from the ground." Gen.
4:8-10.
My text gives some account of the
first recorded bloody tragedy in the
history of our race. But there have
been millions of others, and many
such occur every day. Cain, the mtir-
derer of his brother, lied about it,
and murderers have been lying about
their murderous deeds ever since.
They go into the courts and swear
they are not guilty, and do their best
to get others to swear the same. They
even employ lawyers to help to prove
to a jury that they didn't do it, or,
if they did it was in self defense and
it ought to have been done. Most of
them go "scot free," and think it all
over. Perhaps few, if any, of that
murderous bunch ever stop to consid-
er the fact that the blood of their vic-
tims is crying from the ground unto
a just God. Nor do they remember
that "Vengeance is mine. I will re-
pay, saith the Lord." Neither do they
consider the great question, "Am I
my brother's keeper?" They study
mischief upon their beds, and pro-
ceed in their wicked ways to destroy
life, property or character. Am I
my brother's keeper? Am I my sis-
ter's keeper? Am I my neighbor's
keeper? Yes; unless I am a very
sorry, worthless man. In that case,
some other—a better man—should bo
trying to take care of you. The
strong should bear the infirmities of
the weak. Yet, sometime the strong
take advantage of the weak to beat
them out of their money or charac-
ter or life, if it suits their purpose.
Not only has the blood of righteous
Abel been crying from the ground
through the ages to a righteous* and
merciful God, but the cries of mill-
ions of both men and women who
have been robbed of money, of vir-
tue, or of life, come up to God
through all the ages, and from all the
secret places where a'l those injuries
have been inflicted upon these weak
or helpless victims. O, the miseries
which have been endured through all
the ages, and are now being endured
in all parts of the world, caused by
the oppressive and cruel hand of the
rich and the mighty! How remark-
able it is that those who have the ad-
vantage by money .education or other-
wise, have laid the heavy hand of op-
pression upon the ignorant, the weak
and the unfortunate until their cry
cometh up to God, who must finally
adjust all matters according to the
principles of eternal justice. "Go to
now, ye rich men, weep and howl for
your miseries that shall come upon
*
you. Your riches are corrupted and
your garments are motheatenj Your
gold and silver is cankered; and the
rust of them shall be a witness
against you, and shall eat your flesh
as it were fire. Ye have heaped
treasure together for the last days.
Behold, the hire of the laborers who
have reaped down your fields, which
is of you kept back by fraud, crieth:
and the cries of them which have
reaped are entered into the ears of
the Lord of Sabaoth." Jas. 5:1, 4.
Yes, in the day of reckoning cap-
ital will hear the cry of labor and
will understand, and many will be as-
tonished, and will begin to weep and
howl; landlords will hear the cry of
renter who have not been treated
right; farmers will hear the cry of
laborers who have been defrauded;
teachers will hear the cries of their
abused or neglected pupils; preachers
will hear the cries of their unin-
structed and unguarded parishioners;
parents will hear the cries of their
children who have been provoked to
wrath instead of having been brought
up in the nurture and admonition of
the Lord. There will be a great shak-
ing up in all lines. All things must
be properly adjusted, and every one
must receive his portion in due sea-
son. The blood of righteous Abel
cried unto God from the ground. This
is a powerful figure indicating that
God sees and knows the secrets and
soitow and distress of every life. He
also know the good that every one
performs.
When Cain began to realize the
awful crime he had committed1 in
the slaying of his brother, he cried
out, "My punishment is greater than
I can bear." Gen. 4:13. If Cain's
punishment, in an age of darkness
and ignorance, was greater than he
could bear in his own estimation,
what must be the punishment of the
man who deliberately takes the life
of his fellowman for his money? And
what must be the punishment await-
ing the man, young or old, who takes
advantage of a weak, thoughtless girl
and robs her of her character and of
all hope and pivileges in this world,
if not in that which is to come, and
she goes "stark mad" and drinks poi-
son or jumps in the river to cover up
her shame? When he meets God face
to face and God says to him, "Where
is thy sister?" can he say, "I know
not; am I my sister's keeper?" What
will it be when God says to him, "Thy
sister's blood crieth unto me from
the ground?" If half the reports
be true the blood of many a thought-
less yet beautiful girl is crying unto
her Father God from the ground.
And what must it be when vhat
multitude of men begin to realize chat
their punishment is greater than
they can bear?
Where is thy sister?

Pellagra has become widely dis-
cussed lately because of its preva-
lence in the flooded district s of the
Mississippi river. The urgent need
for relief workers brought to that
area many kind hearted doctors and
nurses, who gave their time and skill
toward the prevention of diseases
that are so common after such catas-
trophes.
To their astonishment they found
pellagra in almost every home among
the rural population. Not being res-
idents of the South, these doctors at
once came to the conclusion that
these victims of pellagra had con-
tracted the disease as a result of the
flood. The lack of proper nourish-
ment to some parts of the body has
been the popular theory as to the
cause of pellagra. Naturally the dev-
astating flood caused starvation and
self denial. Hence it was easy to
couple the two things and conclude
that the depivation caused by the ex-
tended flood caused the many cases
of pellagra.
Pellagra is not a deficiency disease.
It is caused by an infection which de-
stroys the normal functioning of the
digestive processes of the intestines.
The flood had nothing to do with pel-
lagra as it now exists in that section.
I had been there for years before
the flood. These good doctors and
self-sacrificing nurses only discovered
what they had before not had the op-
portunity to discover, viz., that one
woman in almost 75 percent of rural
homes in the Southland is suffeing
with pellagra.
Pellagra is a disease that is ac-
quired through tl^e skin. Contact by
bare hands with vegetable foliage,
such as cabbage, beans, collards, etc,
brings about the infection.
It is detected by brown, rough
skin, sunburn, nervousness, diarrhoea
or constipation, aching in the limbs
and back and funny felings in the
head.
Until we discovered a medicine
that killed the pellaga infection in
the intestines we were powerless to
relieve this type of patient. They
just wasted away. Indigestion soon
sets up and the patient is unable to
get sufficient nourishment to live.
The Rountree Laboratories, after
years of study, have been able to
compound this pellagra medicine,
which is a sure relief and in almost
all cases a permanent restorer of
health to the pellagra sufferer.
