People know Russell Sage more as a money
lender than anything else, and they will not
be surprised that he is one of the first to offer
financial assistance to the United States in
case funds are necessary to carry on war.
On August 10, 1916, Russell Sage was born
while his parents were travelling from Con-
necticut with view to locating in Michigan.
Until 10 years of age he lived at home and
was then apprentced to his brother. who
was II storekeeper. He early developed
traits at "dickering' and was very shrewd in
a hos" trade. In 1913 he became interest
ed in railroads and has since been very
active in this line. He was delegate to the
national Wing convention in that year and
was the delegate who turned the tide from
Henry Clay by voting for Hacharah Taylor
for president, and his nomination was Sc
cured. In 1859 he was elected to Congress
and was reelected in 1854. He was badly
"pinched' inthe Grant and Ward failures
in 1884. In 1891 Henry W. NOrcross tried to
blow him up with dynamite for refusing to
loan him 81, 250, 900. Sage was uninjured.
but Norcross was blown to atoms. Sage was
twice married.

Next time you have a pain anywhere
try Irrigation.
Irrigation, according to Professor
Elmer Gates of Washington, is
'the power of the individual
to eonfine his consciousness
exclusively to the sensations of any
selected part of the bodyan by prac-
tice to send more blood to that part
and alter therein the lympthatic and
thermic functions.
This means that by concentrating
ones thought, say on ones hand, for
given time one could, by practice,
send more blood into it, or withdraw
unnecessary blood, and also make it
warmer or colder.
This is scientific mans attempt to
explain the mind cure. 1t is ingeni-
Gus. Perhaps it is true. Who knows
how much the concentration of the
thought upon the toothless gums has
had to do with the growth of new sets
of teeth in old people? The next time
one of these cases is discovered let the
inquisitive scientist put these ques-
tons; "How long have you been think
ing about your jaws as tooth produc-
ers? Have you not been hoping and
perhaps expecting that you might get
a new tooth, or Il whole set?''
Perhaps we are ON the eve of dis
coveries that will make the doctor and
dentist unnecessary. The twenty-tirst
century man may acquire powers such
as the humble lizard now possesses.
He may be able to replace lost hair,
teeth and even more important organs
by Irrigation. st. Louis Post Dis

TEXT: THE Lord hath made bare His
holy arm. Isaiah ill.,, 10.
1T almost takes our breath away to read
of the Bible imagery. There is such bold
ness of metaphor in my text that one must
rally his courage to preach from it. Isaiah,
the evangelstic prophet, is sounding the
iublate of our planet redeemed, and cries
out: The Lord hath made bare His holy
arm What overwhelming suggestiveness

Cody The people of Palestine to this day
wear much hindering apparel, and when
they want to run II special race, or lift u
special burden, or fight a special battle,
they put Off the outside apparel, as in our
tand when man proposes special eXer-
zion he puts Off his coat and rolls up his
sleeves. Walk through our foundries, Our
machine shops, our mines, our factories,
and you VIII find that most Of the toilers
have their coats off and their sleeves
rolled up.
Isaiah saw that there must be q tremen-
douS amount of work done before this
world becomes what it ought to be, and he
foresees it all accomplished. and accom-
plished by the Almighty: not as we ordi-
narlly think OF Him, but by the Almighty
with the sleeve Of His robe rolled back to
His shoulder.
"Nothing more impresses me in the
Bible than the ease with which God does
most things. There is such reserve OF
