WOMEN GIVE CLAM BAKE
AND BAR OUT THE MEN
Games to Be Played in Bloomers-Jolt
for VentuIesome Members
Of Steiner Sex.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, Sept Is
Springfield society women will disport
themselves at a clambake at Riverside
Grove. Not a man will be allowed on
the grounds and heroic treatment awaits
any venturesome members OF the male
sex.
The novel affair had its inception in
the opinion Of several matrons that
their husbands had altogether too good
a time at clambakes, and that custom
was the sole reason why the bakes had
come to be considered stag affairs.
Nearly two hundred women, most of
them wives Of representative business
and professional men. have bought
tickets for this celebration.
The bake Will be preceded by a pro-
gram OF sports which will include base
ball. football, and running and jumping
contests. The announcement that all the
participants IN the athletic events rust
wear boomers has whetted masculine
curiosity. A fat women's race has been
stricken from the program out Of con
sideration for the feelings Of several
women whose entries Il had been hoped
toNObtain, but whose indignation when
the matter was preached threatened TO
disrupt the clam bake.

caste, and embraces all of the good points
in Buddhism. with pantheism that is very
confusing. 1t would seem that the Sikhs
worship all gods who are good to men, and
reject the demonology of the Hindus. They
believe in one Supreme Being, with attri-
butes similar to the Allah of the Moham-
medans, and recognize Mohammed as His
prophet and opponents of His will. They
have also adopted several Hindu deities in
sort of indirect way, although the Sikhs
strictly prohibit idolatry. Their worship is
pure and simple. Their temples are houses
of prayer, where they meet, sing hymns re-
peat ritual and receive pieces of ''karah
pfasad. a consecrated pastry which means
the effectual Offering" They are tolerant,
ana not only admit strangers to their wor-
ship, but invite them to participate in their
communion.
The Parsees.
But the most interesting of all the sects
in India are the Parsees, the relics of one
of the worlds greatest creeds, descendants
of the disciples of Zoroaster, the Persian
fire worshipers. who sought refuge in India
fIom the persecution of the all-conquering
Mohamlnedans about the seventh century.
They have not increased in numbers during
all that time, but have retained the faith
of their fathers indebted, which has been
described as the most sublime expression
of religious purity and thought except the
teachings of Christ
1t is a curious fact, however, that al
though the Parsees are the most enterpris-
ing people in India and the most highly
educated, they have never attempted to
propagate or even to make known their
faith to the world. 1t remained for An
quetii Duperron, young Frenchman, a
Persian scholar, to translate the Zend
Ayesta, which contains the teachings of
Zoroaster, and may be called the Parsee
bible. And even now the highest authority
in Parsee theology and literature is Pro-
fessor Jackson, who holds the chair of orr
entail languages in Columbia University,
New York. Prof. Jackson is now in Persia
engaged upon investigations of direct In
terest to the Parsees, who have the highest
regard and affection for him. and great
confidence in the accuracy Of his treatment
of their theology.
The Parsees. have undoubtedly made more
stir in the world in proportion TO their
population than any other race. They are q
small community, and number only $1,000
altogether, of whom 10000 reside In Bonn
bay. They are without exception industri-
Gus and prosperous, nearly all being en-
gagged in trade and manufacturing, and to
them the city of Bombay owes the greatest
part of its wealth and commercial influence

AN IMITATION OF NATURES METHOD

AN IMITATION OF NATURES METHOD
Of restoring waste of tissue and i'm
poverishment of the blood and
nervous force is used when you take
All Alternative extract of herbs and
roots, without the use of alcohol,
like DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. This vegetable medicine
ccaxes the digestive functions and
helps in the assimilation of food, or
rather takes from the food JUST the
nutriment the blood requires.
Along with its use one should
take exercise in the outdoor air, get
all one can of Gods sunlight and
air; mild breathing exercise prac-
ticed each day. This Medical Dis
covery' gives no false stimulation,
because it does not contain alcohol
or narcotic. 1t helps digestion and
the assimilation of such elements in
the food as are required for the
blood. Instead of a cod liver oil,
against which the already sensitive
stomach will declare open rebellion,
this tonic has pacifying action
upon the sensitive stomach and gives
to the blood the food elements the
tissues require. 1t maintains ones
nutrition by enabling him to eat, re-
tain, digest and assinilate nutritious
food 1t overcomes gastric irrita-
bility and symptoms OF indigestion,
and, in this way, fever, night-sweats,
headaches, etc, are done away with.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery puries the blood and entirely
eradicates the poisons that breed and
feed disease. 1t thus cures scrofula,
eczema, erysipelas, boils, pinples
and other eruptions that mar and
scar the skin. Pure blood is essential
to good health. The weak, rundown,
debilitated condition which so many
people experience is commonly the
effect of impure blood. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery not only
cleanses the blood of impurities, but
it increases the activity of the blood
making glands, and it enriches the

Hindu worship, but no police intervention
has ever been necessary to protect DUMP
animals; nobody was ever punished Tor
cruelty to them; on the contrary animal
worship is one of the most general of prac-
tees among the Hindus, and all cows are
sacred. But the jams go still further ana
establish hospitals for aged and inf1im am
mails You can see them in Bombay, In
Delhi, Lucknow, Calcutta and other places
where the jams are strong. Behind their
walls are hundreds of decrepit horses, dis
eased cows and bullockS, NANCY dogs ana
cats and every kind of sick, lame and in
firm beasts. Absurd stories are told stran-
gers concerning the extremes to which TINS
benevolence is carried, and some of them
have actually appeared in published mar
ratiyes of travel in India. One popular
story is that when flea lights upon the
body CT Jain he captures 1t carefully, puts
II in a receptacle and sends 1t to the asy-
lum where fat coolies are hired TO SIT
around all day and night and allow fieas.
mosquitoes and other insects to feed upon
them. But although untrue. these rldlcu-
lous stories are valuable as illustrating the
principles in which the jams believe. They
are strict vegetarians. They will not XIII
an animal or a fish or bird, or anything
that breathes for any purpose, and every
body can see that they strictly practice
what they preach.
The Moslems.
King Edward VII, Emperor of India, has
more Mohammedans among his subjects
than even the Sultan of Turkey, who is the
nominal head Of that sect. The 6O.0ooooo
Moslems in India are an enterpr1slng, m
telligent and determined people Ihere is
a great deal that is good in the teachings
of the Koran. although they have been per-
yerted, and large proportion of those VINO
profess its faith have shown manllness, de-
yotion to duty, temperance and honesty
that must be admired. Several officials OF
the government have told me that Moham-
medans make the best officials in the serv-
ice. and can be trusted farther than any
other class; but, speaking generally, Islam
has been corrupted and debased in India
lust as it has been everywhere else.
One of the results of this corruption is
the sect known as Sikhs, which numbers
about Z, 600 coo. 1t thrivss best In the north
ern part of India. and furnishes the most
reliable officials and the best soldiers for
the native army. The Sikhs retain much
that is good among the teachings of Mo-
manned, and have bible of their own,
called the Adi-granth, made up of the SER
