Mrs. McCandliss (Nó Olivia Kerr, a daughter of Dr. Kerr of Canton) came in 1888, and the foundations of mission work were laid by these devoted pione ers. Dr. and Mrs. McCandlisa re- tired in 1920 after forty years of service and are living in Pasadenn, California.
The mission maintains three sta- tions, two interior ones at Nodon, on the west side of the island, and at Kuchek, on the east side, and station at the cities of Kinng ehow and Hollow, which are only three miles apart. There are
schools and a hospital at each in- terior station. The school, work at the port is concentrated in Kiung- chow, with the Pitkin Memorial School for Girls and the Lingnan University Branch School for Boys loented there, while the medical work is in the Hoihow Hospital at Hoihow, the largest hospital of the Presbyterian Board (North) in China.
During the critical transition period from mission to church con- trol of work on evangelistic and educational lines, the mission has found a most satisfactory working body in what is known as the Ad- ministrative Board. This is a body of eleven members, five of whom aro foreign missionaries and six Chinese. They are elected annually y Presbytery and have complete charge of appropriations and work, Reports from the stations at annual meeting show advance in the mat- ter of self-support and in the taking over of responsibility by the Chinese Christians.

At this annual meeting a momori- al service was held for Mis Katherine L. Schaeffer, who passed nway at the Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong, on April 8. Misa Schaeffer came to the field in 1804 and has been a most indefatigable worker during the years since that time: Located first in Kinngchow, she came to Kachek station at its opening in 1900, just after the Boxer trouble, and had been a mem- her of that station ever since.

A Revolution in the treatment of Teeth
STEP BY STEP THE science of medicine advances. The clearer the picture of human ailments becomes, the more logical the treatment. Instead of intricate remedies, science now advocates simple additions to the diet. To day, most human ailmente can be traced to some deficiency in the diet. A deficiency of calcium (lime) in the system, for instance, is the cause of such diverse ail- ments as weak sensitive teeth, rickets in children, akin troubles of many kinds, irritable nerves, irregularities in the functions of womanhood, etc.
All these ailments may now be attacked in a logical, simple way by adding Kalzaṇa tablets to the diet. Tooth decay, for instance, When your teeth are sensitive and not hard and white, they

Take a few Kalzana tablets every day, then you are sure that your body gets the required Calcium in exactly the right combination. Kalzana has proved in thousands of cases that it will make teeth strong again by conquering the very cause of their weakness**** lack of Calcium in the body. It will make your teeth strong and healthy, they will become white again and decay will be stopped.
Start a course of Kalzana to-day; then you can both feel and see how your health improves. Remember that Kalzana is not a drug, but an absolutely harmless lime-food.
