You have only to make your mus
nicipal corporation like your busS
mess corporation, and You have
solved the problem. You need
not say that that cannot be done.
1t cannot be done by three cheers
and a brass band. 1t cannot be
done by newspaper editorials three
weeks before election. 1t cannot
be done by making yourselves not
only the friends but the DULLES of
virtue ten days before You vote.
1t can be done by beating the pol
iticians at their own game. Their
game Is organizatlon.--St. Clair

1t is time that the church should
set it's approval upon cremation and
encourage more distinctly than it
has yet done this method of dispos-
ing of mans mortal remains. The
argument for it from the side of
the practical as relates to the order
of our community life aud to the
safety of the living is too familiar to
need urging. In large centers of
population the appeal comes with
great force. But on the side of
Christian thought what the church
surely believes it should also teach,
that the faith of the ages in the
resurrection of the dead is in no
wise impaired by this practice. -

+ The way to preserve Irish pota-
toes from decay is to place them
where they will have plenty of air
and well off the ground. When near
the ground the potatoes take up
moisture, which causes them to
rot. If the above precautions are
observed the tubers can be kept
through the fall and winter in good
condltion.-Crowley (La) Signal.
