RELIGION AND GAMBLING.
Faith In an Unknown Power Leads
On to the UndOing of the
Gambler.

you may think it queer to couple
religion and gambling, but do you
know there would be little gambling
if it were not for the religious side
of our natures, that comes to us from
the very beginning of human
thought?"
This was new idea to me, and
leaned forward to better hear what a
poker Player on an outgoing suburban
say about it, says a writer in the
New York Herald
Every gambler" he continued, al
ways has a more or less well defined
notion that some power or influence
or control beyond his clear compre-
hension is going to help him in his gam
ing. Though he knows that the cold,
him, there is a notion in his mind that
in some way he will be favored and
will win in spite of immutable mathe-
mates.
His belief is not shaken by repeat
ed failure to win. He feels that there
was something wrong or he would have
won, and believes that the next time
things will be right. He keeps at it.
That is faith, and his faith will reach
beyond his capital.
The nearer the game is to the mat
ter of pure chance, like throwing hon
est dice or tossing for heads or tails
the more you notice the working OF
a blind faith that relies on some thing
to bring the result that he desires
That something is conjured up in his
Imagination from religious sugges-
tion that is part of his inheritance.
"The nearer we get to barbarism the
more noticeable is this thing. i have
seen savages gambling at odd-and
even with shells, when they actually
prayed to the spirits to help them
and each one insisted that his chosen
spirits were the most potent to hell
him. / have seen them strike them
selves, dance, change their positions
and make all sorts of queer noises fol
the purpose of exerting the necessary
influence on the controlling spirits.

The scarcity of corn and other grains
in New England and the consequent
famine of feed stuffs which was pre-
dicted few months ago has been averted
and the eastern markets are now flooded
with feeds of all kinds and prices have
dropped considerably within a few
weeks, according to the statement of a
travelling salesman of a state firm. This
was brought about 10y the shipping all at
once from the far west of many large
consignments of grain which have been
long delayed, many since last fall. The
delay was in most cases caused by a
scarcity of freight cars in which to shiI
the grain. Hundreds of cars which were
tied up at various places were released AT
frequent intervals and the western deal
ers hustled their products eastward witt
all possible speed, giving New England
dealers all the grain they want for some
time to come.

wonder by some of the older woods
men who are familiar with the fearful
execution a moose can accomplish with

In spite of the precautions which
are being taken to avoid accidents,
Duluth people are awaiting with con-
fidence the casualty list of the big
game season. All of the hunters who
are now In the woods are garbed In
foliage-colored costumes in order that
they may more readily keep out of
sight. 1t is expected that some of them
will be mistaken for deer, with the
usual result.
Among the more prominent hunting
parties is one headed by Executive

his stay In this city that the reports
from his wardens indicated that big
game was unusually plentiful. The
hunters are equipped for a two week
stay in the woods and have a complete
camping outfit, which they now have
in place, ready to begin operations

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. Reports
which have come to this city, either
through the medium of returned
woodsmen or timber cruisers, indicate
that not for many years have the pros
poets been so bright for the hunters of
big game as they are now, on the eve
of the opening of the season. Begin
ming Tuesday, theS protecting arm of
the state law will be taken from
around the monarchs of the forest for
twenty days, and during that time 1t
is expected that an unprecedented
number of sportsmen will be In the
field.
Already the advance guard has pass
ed through Duluth, on the way to fa-
vorite haunts of deer and moose, and
many hunters have made their camps
and are ready to begin the slaughter.
Some of them have come from far dis
tant states, bringing with them expen-
sive outfits. Others have secured their
rifles and cartridges, together with
their hunting outfits, in this city, and
as a result local dealers have enjoyed
an excellent trade. Practically all Of
the men whose services can be obtained
have been employed as guides, and they
have promised to guide their employ
ers to places where they are thickest.
It was feared earlier in the season
that all of the big game would be

AMERICAN PEOPLE

Chief Chemist Wiley Says They Should
Cut Down Their Rations.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IA
champion for the abused and overworked
American human kidney has appeared IN
the shape of DR.. w. w. Wiley, ch1ef
chemist of the department of agriculture,
the man who organized the poison squad
to determine what preservatiVes are
harmful to the human system; the man
who discovered that the chief thing that
American wine lovers care about is the
label on the bottle, and who has cure
for badness, although the top part of his
pate is innocent of hair.
1.-The American people, said DR.. Wiley
today, "eat too much. They give their
kidneys more work to do than they can
possibly perform. The experiments that
we have conducted with the poison squad
have shown that practically all the pre-
servatives which are added to our foods
are exuded through the kidneys, thus
imposing additional work on an already
overburdened organ. So far no cham
pion has appeared to espouse the cause of
this patient worker. In the name of that
long suffering and uncomplaining organ l
enter a protest against adding any addi-
tional burdens to it. The remedy pro-
pose is to stop mixing with our foods
extraneous matters which can only be
excreted through the kidneys, and which
diminish the functions of that much
abused and valuable organ. Bright's dis
ease Is one of the most frequent results
of the excessive work imposed on the
kidneys. In almost every case it will be
