Washington, Feb. 6.--Agother blast aimed at those members pr for- mer members of the denomination which has been predicting the end of the world on the night Feb. 6th, was delivered yesterday from headquar- ters of the Seventh Day Adventist organization. Several prophecies are yet to be fulfilled before the coming of Christ, the organization Adventists hold, and Mrs. Margaret W. Rowen, leader of those .who hawerfixed-the date for next Friday, has been denounced by the church leaders. Before the énd ot the world, a church statement said, 'the seven last plagues must fall, and as far as We can see, not one has yet fallen. Think of men being afflicted with grievous sores, of the sea becoming as the blood of a dead man, or rivers and fountains, turning into blood, of the sun having power to scorch men, of men gnawing their tongues with pain, and you have an idea of what some of these plagues will be. None of them has yet appeared." The great battle of Armageddon must be fought during the sixth plague, the statement 'said, and the seventh plague will bring hail stones weighing one talent each. "We also believe," it was added, "that 'America will {figure promi- nently dn the closing events of earth's history. The Sunday law re- formers will yet have their innings to the extent of doing their utmost to force their tyrannical doctrines concerning Sunday sacredness upon dissenters. The land of oppression "| awaits liberty lovers and the scenes of the dark ages will be re-enacted before the end comes."

It is understood that a new serum that makes one immune to scarlet fever, as vaccination does for small | og pox, is being experimented with lo- cally, Several members of doctors', families have succumbed to the po- pular gilment and this has given an opportigity to out the immuniz- ing valu br new agent on the other mem of the families, When a sufficient number of results - have been gathered from all over the Do- minion the figurés will be submit- ted to the federal authorities, who, if they approve, will issue a license for the commercial use of the re- medy. Until such permission has been granted the serum cannot be ; used in general practice. The serum is produced by one of |} the largest American drug firms which has sent small quantities to Canada for experimental purposes. |g The first injection will show whe- ther the subject is immune to scar- let fever or mot. If a red spot de- velops at the point of injection the subject is not immune. It has been found that about 80 per cent. of the tests show this red spot. At due.in- tervals larger and larger doses are injected and after the third treat- ment it will be found that the sub- ject mo lomger reacts unfavorably. It is therefore believed that he is no longer liable to infection from scar. let fever. It will probably be three months or moré before the serum can be used in general practice but it promises then to be a great boon. . Scarlet fever may soon be as rare as typhoid fever has become. One local physician who discover- ed a case of scarlet fever in his own family was able to secure one, treat- ment from another doctor, and by telephoning the head office of the drug firm secured one more packet ~the last in Canada. No further cases have developed among his chil- dren. PRINCE WILL SAIL ON HMS. REPULSE About 25th March for His Visit To Argentifa and Squth London, Feb. §.--~The Prince of Wales will make his forthcoming journey ito Argentine and South Africa in the battle cruiser H.M.S. Repulse, a sister ship of the Renown, which carried him on his official tour to India and Japan in 1922. As the Repulse is fitted out for a flagship it is expected that a ranking admiral will be selected to command her. Most of the ship's compliment of 1,220 officers and men have been chosen. The officers, for the most part, are serving on the Repulse at the present time, About half of the enlisted men are those who have served on the Repulse for two years and the remainder will be honor men of the navy. The Repulse has been ordered into the yards for a complete overhaul- ing and painting. A special suite for the prince is being fitted out of the apartments adjoining the admiral's quarters, and a gymnasium room is being built for him. There will be also special rooms for the newspaper correspondents who will accompany the prince. The royal traveler will eat his meals with the chief officer's mess, instead of having a private din- ing room as on the Renown, and the daily menu will conform with the 4 All the Way fromthe Old Country We have just received a shipment of % Men's Brown Calfskin Bluchers from ' Northampton, England, selling at *10.00 These Shoes are wonderful value, best 3 grade of leather and high class workman- ship are our reasons for importing this line. § The Abernethy Shoe Store BERRY Eee Kiaaton's Biggest Home F aniekacs 'Phone 147 for Service. usual navy regulations.
