Some Good Advice Free-Don't Jump
Off Cars.--An eminent authority on this
subject says: jumping off moving trains and
street cars as practised today is fruitful source
of nervous disorders, and not one fully recog-
nized for its Importance by any school except
osteopaths. Yet the facts are easily compre-
hended. Certain it is that nervousness in all
its protean forms, from irritability, netirasthe
MIA and general nervous collapse to paralysis,
is so caused, and that the careless habit of
many people of bowling off moving cars stiff
legged lays the foundation for, these disorders
every hour of the day.
In leading the strenuous life of our cities
men and women seem unable to wait to get to
their journeys end. Before trains come to

Has a Flag on His Church Now.-Fol-
lowing the progressive course pursued by him
since his location in Baltimore Rev. Madison
G. Peters, pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Taber-
nacle will introduce an innovation to Balti-
noreans by placing flag above his church.
DR. Peters said that he was surprised to see
that no Baltimore churches fly flags on holi-
days and that as soon as possible he would
have a pole erected and unfurl starry flag to
the breezes from the top of the church.
In speaking of his intention DIR. Peters said:
There can be no reason why all churches
should not fly the emblem of our great and,
glorious republic.p fDr Peters believes that til!
canfin no wise take away even q bit of the (
attached to the church and'is, be-
sides, part of the duty of the heads of all in
who cherish the emblem of liberty.
Several years ago. in New, York, DR.. Peters in
troduced the practice by raising flag over his
Summit Avenue Baptist Church., The exam.
pie set soon nearly all the churches in thatcity
did likewise Now, he says, it is common
thing to see nearly every church fyinga hand
some flag from its steeple on holiday or
special OCCASION. sssss
Dr.. Peters entertains strong opinions as to
the use.of the national emblem on churches.
"a church that will refuse to fly the flag of
our country from its roof or steeple havesno
use for" he said, in speaking of the matter.
Dr. Peters did not say how soon he would OBJ
tain hagpole and flag for his church, but
from his manner il seems certain that another
around before Emmanuel Tabernacle floats the
