CHURCH CONSOLIDATION.
Evangelical Churches Consider Adop-
ton of Trust Methods.

Trust methods are about to be adopt
ed by evangelical churches. Dr.. r. F.
Coyle, who has just returned from the
meeting of the Presbyterian Social I'm
ion in New York City. says there is a
churches will cooperate with each
other and will consolidate many of the
smaller pastorates.
AS it is now" said DR.. Coyle, "in
many of the villages one will find a
number of small churches. none OF
which have good congregation.
AT the Murray Hill hotel in New
York recently there was a meeting of
representatives of the Methodist. Pres
byterian Baptist, gational and
ether denominations. Resolutions were
adopted looking to the consolidation OF
all Protestant denominations in small
places. Thus, if the people of any, town
want Methodist churc!.. all the other
denominations will help in establishing
and supporting that church. No other
denomination will establish a church
there until the community has grown
SO much that the first church is made
quatel. This will enable some one of
the denominations to have successful
church, where, under the present sys-
TEN, there would be four or five
churches, none of which would be sue
cessful.
Il was surprised to find how unani-
nous all the representatives were con-
cerning the benefits this system would
confer, and believe it will be adopted
soon. n."-Denver News.

England's Anti-corset Crusade.

Although the latest anti-corset cru
sade has not yet reached London, it's
promoters are carrying the cause into
Birmingham, where they hope to find
champions among both sexes. "And
why not among the men?" the mer,-
bers inquire. 1T is for the captiva-
tion of man that women usually lace,
and if the stern sex is known to frown
on the custom the result ought to be
abolition of The practice" So far,
however, the membership of the
league is small and 1t has shown no
indication of accomplishing any more
than its predecessors.

WHAT TOMMY WOULD DO.
Meant to Change His Sleeping Hours
When a Man.


Tommy's disinciination to go to bed
at night is only exceeded by his re-
luctance to get up in the morning. The
regular daily routine includes driving
him to bed at p. M. and dragging
him therefrom at a. m. Sleep has
no attractions for him until it actually
enfolds him in its paralyzing embrace,
and then he sticks to the bed like
woodticll to woodchuck.
The other morning after his mother
had called him seven times, and fin
ally induced him to arise by firmly
grasplng his Left ear between her
thumb and forefnger, she walled:
"Oh, Tommy, Tommy, why do-o-o-n't
you get up when | call you? What
will become of you when you get to

It's easy to understand how ordi-

doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
Il had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe it was
fnjuring me although l had palpita-
tion of the heart every day.
Finally one day severe ard al
most fatal attack of heart troubla
frightened me and l gave up both
tea and coffee using Postum instead,
and since that time have had abso-
luteiy no heart palpitation except on
one or two occasions when tried
small quantity of coffee which caused
severe irritation and proved to me l
must let it alone.

old not make it according to direc-

butter in the pot when boiling and al

my friends and patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum in fact, l

WHAT GERMANS CALL AUTO.
II Is Described Fully by an Express
i've Name

I'VE Name
st seems to me that the German
language has a bit the better OF the
English tongue when it comes to the
name given that useful and popular
thing, the automobile" said an obser-
want man in the New Orleans Times
Democrat, though | will admit there
is a chance for controversy on this
point The German for automobile is
'selbstfahrer,' meaning literally self
driver This seems to me to be "a
better and more expressive name for
the automobile. 1t seems to me to
come nearer describing the thing than
the English word, Yet it cannot be
insisted that English combination of
the words auto and 'mobilei is alto
gethcr unhappy. 1t would mean al
most literally 'self-mover.' That is
very far from being bad. There are
any worse combinations in this day
of rapid word making. Still have a
strong preference for the German way
of saying automobile 'Selbstfahrer"
seems to me to fit the bill.
BY the way, the German for tele-
Phone is not bad either when you come
tc think of it. Fernsprecher' they say
in German. Here we have another
very happy combination. Literally
fernsprecher' means far-speaker.'
This Is what the telephone is from my
way of looking at it. Possibly it is not
so musical as the English word. Yet
there is deal of poetry in the idea
of far-speaking,' something just bit
suggestive of the echo. | do not re-
gard this combination quite as fortu-
nate as the other one to which ! have
referred. but it is by no means bad
at that like the other word and
think We could make no very serious
mistake if we should steal it and incor
porate it in the English language. 1t
might simplify our language to some
extent because of the many uses to
which we have put the prefix auto al
ready"

A Cheerful Liar

Here's the way an eastern edi-
tor describes the recent storm
that visited North Dakota; "A
southeastern wind hurled tumble
weeds and Russian catcus thru
the air at a fifty mile an hour
gait and the gate went two.
Many stoves were drawn out
thru the chimneys, the strong
wind blew in the neck of a bot
tie and tore the bottom out.
The strain on the wire fences was
so great that the staples were
drawn out on the north side OF
the posts. A Kerosene barrel
standing in front of q grocery
store was sucked out of the
,bung-hole and turned inside out
like q lady's slipper. "a
The dirt few from a post hole
on the hillside and left the hole
sticking out of the ground about
two feet, with no dirt around It.

Months Of Consumption.

Miss Flossie Muir, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Muir, old

Of consumption. The funeral was

noon at l o'clock, Rev. VIM. G.
Hunter, OF this city officiating.
The remains were inferred in the
cemetery at Burlington. She was
but 2Oyears ofage, just blossom

which was a source ofgreatpride
to her bereaved parents. She
was a good christian young
woman, a member OF TIE Presby-
terrain church, and surely has
gone to her reward. For weeks
it was known to her parents and
to her that she could not live,
but she bore her sufferings with
great patience. She leaves be-
sides her parents, three sisters
and two brothers.
