starting a Grade Her,

None but good mixers, cows able on
good grass or other feed to produce
from three to five gallons of milk per
day for a period Of at least six months
each year, should be selected In start
ing grade herd, and the sires used
must be out Of heavy milking dams as
well as Of the proper beef form and
size. The fact that 1t seems easier to
meet these conditions with the Short

Sour Stomach
When the quantity of food taken is
too large or the quality too rich, sour
stomach is likely to follow, and es-
pecially 80 if the digestion has been
weakened by constipation. Eat slowly
and not too freely of easily digested
food. Masticate the food thoroughly.
Let five hours elapse between meals,
and when you feel fullness and
weight in the region of the stomach
after eating, take Chamberlain's Stom-
ach and Liver Tablets and the sour
stomach may be avoided. For sale by

Field Arrived.
After Eugene Fields return from his
first trip to Europe, where he spent
his patrimony like prince" and be
fore ne went to Denver, he had a little
close personal experience with hard
times. One day he walked into lead
ing st. Louis hotel and, squaring him
self before the register, inscribed his
name in his well known copperpiate
chirography. The clerk had never
heard of him, but he read the name
with q quick glance and said:
"Do you wish room, Mr.. Field?"
NO." was the answer.
"Dinner?"
NO.
'Then may ask what you do
wantW continued the clerk.
IT just wanted to arrive" replied
Field solemnly. IT had not arrived at
a good hotel for many months. I feel
better. Thank you," and he stalked
out with long, heavy strides.

'If our daily lives show that we are

kindly because Of our trust in God as

haustible tenderness, we shall easily
win others to the same faith. It shall
appear that we, who follow Jesus as a

more Of his spirit than those who call

Of the truth Of our position than any
possible argument about the impossi-
bility Of his being the Deity in human

we do not believe God required the
death Of an innocent person to appease
his anger, make atonement for sin and
thus redeem the children from eternal
woe, yet rejoicing in his forgiving
grace, we have forsaken all evil doing
and stand firmly for truth and integ-

become plain that we are really as one
with God, that God is in us even as he
was in the Christ reconciling the world

The Rev. Robert A. Elwood preached a
special sermon at oivet Presbyterian
church yesterday morning TO the Patriotic
order Sons Of America. Members OF the
order ATTENDED the services in a body.
The large chorus choir rendered several
patriotic and gospel selections.
Mr.. Elwood took his text from Hosea,
5:g. I'VE follow on TO know the Lord" He
began his sermon by describing che old
time moptoes that hung on the walls and
pointed out that all States and nations
had notices that expressed their pur-
pose IN life He then spoke on the motto
u tho p. o. S. Of A., and commended the
principles Of the order. os being true
Americanism and to be held precious by
very lover Of this country. Continuing
Mr. Elwood said; MY text this morning
s A motto, or principle in life for every
man.
The highest adm OF rho human mind
should be to know and interpret the will
OF the Infinite. The greatest expression
% God IS Jesus Christ and he who hears
tho cali Follow Me, and answers can say
gruely, We follow on TO know the Lord. q"
Three points Mr.. Elwood clearly empha-
sized IN his address were "The True
Leadership Of Life" "The Pathway Of
Life" and THE Purpose Of Life" I'm
der the first Mr.. Elwood pointed out the
benefits and Limitations Of human lead
ers and showed that Jesus was the one
Incompatible and only safe leader to fol-
low both In the affairs OF this life and 10
nave a surety for the life TO come.
Under the second Mr.. Elwood pointed
out that men live here but once and that
as Jesus lived so should we 80 that the
pitaph could bew nitten over us. He
vent about doing good" considering this
10 be greater honor than money or thc
gratlhcation Of earthly desires. Under the
third Mr.. Elwood showed the purpose OF
lie to be the knowledge OF God, beginning
IN this Me dhnough nature and reyela-
Ion and being consummmated In the lift
20 come in personal acquaintanceshAp
with God through Jesus Christ.
"A tpirit Of true Christian patriotism, -
Mr.. Elwood said. 'is needed among our
citizenship today so that corruption in our
civic life shall be fought and overthrown:
oppression wherever found opposed and
overturned; and the seal Of our approval
either in word OF vote given only tc
men and measures that are righteous for
righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin
IS the destruction Of any people, Follow
the Lord in your private ana public acts
and the devil will never hold the whip

Last night Mr.. Elwood preached to
railroad men and took occasion 10 advo-
cate the government control OF railroads

Mr.. rHoMPsoNs TERM ENDS.

Democratic Glasses in the Sunday
Star pays the following just and grace
ful tribute to Henry b. Thompson on
the conclusion Of his term as chair
man Of the Republican state Commit
tee.
In his intended retirement Chairman
Thompson will carry with him the well
wishes Of the many friends he has made
while luing that position. He was all
ways courteous, gentle, kind but un-
compromising for the principles he be-
lieved to be right Politics would be
far better and more wholesome II more
men like Henry B. Thompson entered
into political campaigns. one Of the
troubles with politics today Is that
men, possessing like qualities with the
Regular State chairman. hold aloof
from the political trays. Nothing can
be more patriotic than a high minded
and sensitive interest in political az
fairs.
II may be that MT Thompson has not
illustrated all OF the qualities Of the
modern political leader, but he has
shown all Of such qualities which are
consistent with the attitude and bear
ing OF a gentleman. No man has ever
suspected him Of wabbling; no we'll
informed man has ever accused him OF
questionable methods. He hag devoted
much OF his time and energy to the
maintenance Of the high standards Of
true Republlcanlsm.
He has been criticised. but this critl-
cism has usually been a reflection on
his critics. He would not squint at
methods which he regarded as ques-
tionahle. although they seemed to
promise a temporary advantage, and he
could maintain his position before a
national committee, cabinet officer
or even a president. without hinching.
There is line Of work to his credit
of which the public knows little, which
has done much 10 maintain the char
acter and strength Of the Republican
organization in Delaware. We do not
suppose Mr. Thompson proposes to re-
tire form politics, but in laying down
his office Of chairman, he does so with
clean hands.

A cLEReYMAN's PROTEST.

The Rev. Hubert Wells has written
A letter to the Sunday Star which ought
to be framed by every man or woman
who favors religious tolerance and who
believes in a holy catholic church"
We have no wish to revive nor TO al
lude to the controversy out Of which
this letter grew but give it in part as
sound and conservative exposition
Of true religious toleration. by an or
thodox clergyman, preaching in an
orthodox pulpit:
A religion that Is willing TO be love-
less, and that insists upon It's own dog
mas as the final test Of character and
Christian privilege is surely not the re-
! ligion OF Jesus. And a religion that Is
unwilling 10 listen to- the delivranccs
Of consecrated intellect as that intel
lect confesses les discoveries IN any
sphere. Is surely not the religion Of Je-
sus. The religion Of Jesus has little In
common with a tradition that refuses
examination, or with a tradition that
upon examination Is found to be want
ing, whether that tradition has TO do
with Holy Writ or not. It's sole con-
cern is with the truth through which
as Il is perceived and lived. is freedom
promised. I fear that the Methodist
organ In view has missed this high con-
cern Of Jesus religion and has traded
1t on for "a tradition whose foundation
Is unstable. There is no place In the
religion OF Jesus for the untempered
strife OF "orthod X" champions, and
nothing is so odious to It as the odium
theologicum II the organ under dis
cussion would turn its indignation to-
wards something so real and terrible
as the politics in which Il lives IL
would summon to its side power for
Righteousness OF which its present dis
cussion Is empty. and IL would get
something done. The real orthodoxy is
orthodox living: Of this sort OF ortho-
doxy we are not likely to have over
much.
Nobody OF intelligence. Of course. OBJ
jeets to the teaching OF church doc
trines or dogmas. but to the lay mind,
churches become whited sepulchres
when greater insistence is placed upon
the incidents OF creed than upon right
living. The layman will also question
the propriety Of denouncing and SLAM
dering his neighbor whose intelligence
and whose morality is equal to his own
just because he holds some theological
view not sanctioned by majority rule p
