ration for action takes place in these COM
mittees In them discussion goes to the
very bottom. Finally reports from sub
committees are made, printed in the Daily
Advocate that is issued, and then the great
body itself subjects each proposed measure
to keen scrutiny.
Bishop Jones used to say that "the most
important work of a general conference
consisted in what was left undone." A
looker-on,. beholding the hundreds, yea,
thousands of memorials and propositions
for change in the discipline" of the church
that are offered, often wonders whether
anything of the existing little book can pos
sibly survive. When the revised edition
some two months afterward, comes from
the press, he wonders whether anything at
all was done. it has so familiar look.
Still great results often take place by the
omission or change of single word. Then,
again, great results are often anticipated
from changes made only after years of dis
cussion and effort, which do not really ma
terialize Every one will recall the almost
bitter struggle over the admission of woman
to the general conference as a lawmaker
At last secured, the change is scarce no
ticeabIe. Possibly a dozen or a score are
today on the floor, put their presence
among $50 is hardly realized. Practically
the result Is mil" except that high princi-
pIe," some will say, has been vindicated- :"
Those who know the Methodist Church do
not feel alarmed for it's safety because of
the work of the more than seven hundred
earnest men and women who are today
locking into its condition, somewhat as sur
geons examine a suspected human body.

A vast deal of hard common sense is found
In this trained and tried and carefully
picked body. Cranks have no chance what
ever, be sure of that.
Great Questions to Be Considered.
Some really great questions are to be
considered; really important officers are to
be chosen. The issue is sure to be satisfac-
tory to the body of the church. Time will
then put upon the work its stamp of fitness
or unfitness. What is unfit will after a
few years of trial, be sure to be remedied.
The delegates from Washington and Bal
seven or eight rows in front of the presid-
ing officer. They are watchful and ready
to take intelligent part. Already they have
been heard from often and well. They are
distributed on important committees.
In committee great opposition has already
developed to the removal of the limitations
placed upon the opening of the American
University. AS was anticipated, this hos
tility shows the influence in every utter
ance, in the very terms employed, that has
been so actively at work for several years
and that was so signally turned down at
the recent session of the Baltimore confer
ence. The college presidents" seem TO be
a unit against any change of conditions.
Some of them would doubtless. in their
mistaken zeal for their own institutions, be
glad to see the enterprise die. Its friends
had better look after its life. and be quick
about the work The wires should be kept
hot" with this good purpose in view.

Proceedings Yesterday Afternoon.
The addresses yesterday afternoon at the
convention nearly all centered about the
theme-a larger union and more Christian
Endeavor workers in the denomination.
One speaker, Rev. ]. c. Broomfeld of Pitts
burg, Pa, said there were at present Ala
junior societies in the union, and that
there should be many more He urged each
or the delegates to pledge himself to estab-
llsh one or more in the next year
Rev U. G. Murphy of Nayoga, Japan, and
Mr.. Don o. Shelton, associate secretary of
the Congregational Home Missionary Soci-
ETY., were the speakers of the evening. The
FORMER took for his subject Our Poor Re-
latlons, and made strong plea for mis-
sionary work, especially that young people
would interest themselves; in it. The char
acter of the other address was the same
the subject being The Passion for Mis-
Sions.''

Mr.. w. &. Haskell, sealer of weights and

sioners the action that was recently taken
relative to the occupancy of space on the
south side of street north, between 7th
and 18th street, by hucksters, or so-called
"squatters."
Mr. Haskell states that on the 9TH of
May William Groves, occupant of part
of the space mentioned, after having been
refused permit to occupy the same, was
arrested and brought before the Police
Court, charged with occupying space on the
sidewalk without permit. The accused
was convicted. Mr.. Haskell states, and was
fined by the court
Mr.. Haskell expresses the opinion to the
Commissioners that since the court has
sustained the position of his office relative
to the occupancy OF market space, he feels
confident that the officials will in the fu-
ture to be able to clear the space of those
persons who are not entitled to its Dement'S.

U. s. Grant is of the opinion that
one reason for the fineness of the
Turkish mohair is the scanty herbage
of the country in which Angora goats
are kept in Turkey He has observed
that the finest hair in his flock is
found on kids whose growth has been
in some way checked so that they are
more or less stunted. AS goat feed
grows sparsely in Turkey, it is pre-
sumed that the goats there grow
slowly and do not attain the size they
would have If more plentifully fed.
There is plausibility in Mr. Grants
theory. A goat which is on plentiful
food from the date of its birth until
it is mature is much larger than
if it had been kept on scantY rations
throughout its period of growth. The
number of hairs on it is no greater
because it has been well fed and has
grown large, but each hair is in all
probability as much thicker proper
tionately as the goat is larger than it
would have been If dwarfed by scanty
rations. OF course, mohair like wool
is seriously injured in quality by such
scarcity of feed as materially affects
the health of the goat, but this applies
to the mohair on the goat at the time
it is on starvation rations. 1t is also
probable that a goats growth can be
materially checked by scanty rations.
without materially affecting the quail
ity Of Its hair.-Rural Northwest.

BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and SO
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
frmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will cure it.
In thousands OF cases Scott S
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.
