ONE of the questions to be considered
by the Methodist conference in session at
Los Angeles, Cal, is what can the church
do to aid the cause of temperance? 1t
might at least allow its clergy TO preach
a temperance sermon, now and then.
There is much need of this in Boston,
where the police hauled in last year 27,
700 ''drunks." Bottling up the "drunks'
and uncorking the liquor saloons will
never work temperance reform.

Mr. Martin Montgomery, of Silvara,
Pa, formerly of Roxbury, N. Y, writing
to DIR. David Kennedy, of Kennedy
Row, said /:
"Your ne,o medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,
is wonderful. 1t cured me of liver and
kidney troubles, and rheumatism, after
n lot of weary dosing with things that
did no good. 1t is q record breaker and
no mistake"
AS in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheuma-
tism is often indeed almost always, COM
plicatcd with kidney and liver trouble.
1t is because Cal-cura Solvent acts on
the kidneys and liver and at the same
time cxpcls uric acid from the blood,
that it is such reliable remedy for rheu-
matism and the attendant disorders.
Itcmes by removing the cause, therefore
the cure is permanent, safe and sure.

THE late Herbert Spencer caused his
autobiography to be be set up in type,
corrected the proofs and to guard against
loss he had few copies printed. The

THE milk question is looming up at
fearful rate. In Boston the authorities
will not allow milk to be sold above fifty
degrees of temperature. Milk wagons
must have retrigerating establishment
and even these have to be inspected. The
object of the low temperature is to pre-
vent the multiplication of bacteria. Any
milk containing more than 100000 OF
these individuals in ix-one-hundredths
of a cubic inch is liable to condemnation
Milk with less than 10000 bacteria to
the cubic inch is wholesome enough Ia
drink. There's nothing like science in
Boston.

A CRANK with a loaded revolver was
recently found in John D. Rockyfellei's
