MRS. EDDY'S ORDER
Christian Scientists Must Abandon Christmas Giving.
"PASTOR EMERITUS"WANTSN NOGIFTS
Exchange of Tokens Criticised In Her Message as Wholly Wrong and Not In Accord With
 Church Teachings.

leacHhH&h.
 CONCORD, N. H., Dec. 2S.-One of the most sweeping edicts ever issued by Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of the church of the Christian Scientists, in which she practically forbids her followers all over the world from set ting apart Christmas day as one upon which to give or receive gifts, has caused furore among the believers, who number more than 100000.
 In every one of the 900 churches es- tablished in various parts of the world a new section to one of the church by- laws was read to the congregation last Sunday, in which it was explicitly set forth that no word of thanks or greet ing be sent to the pastor emeritus" as Mrs. Eddy has styled herself. In a message also she criticised the ex- change of presents on Christmas day as wholly wrong and not in accord ance with the church teachings.
 Seldom has so much discussion been occasioned by an order sent forth by Mrs. Eddy. Thousands had bought Christmas presents to give to friends and relatives. So affected were the majority of the followers of the church of the Christian Scientists by the veil ed command hidden in the kindly worded message sent forth by Mrs. Eddy that they gave up their plans of merrymaking and allowed Christmas day to pass unobserved.
 That Mrs. Eddy should deem the mat ter of such importance as to add a section to the bylaws of the church also caused a sensation among her fol- lowers. It appeared at first peculiar to them that she should issue such an or der after allowing many years to go past without making any comment on the worldwide custom, but it turned out that Mrs. Eddy has been the re- cipient year after year of hundreds of telegrams, gifts and letters of thanks and Christmas cheer upon the annual Yuletide event, all of which annoyed her so that she decided to put stop to it.
 She then decided to issue a "mes- sage" which is the manner in which she describes most of her orders, in which she sets forth what she consid- CTS the evils of present giving in Christ mas time This message also forbids the sending of any presents to the pastor emeritus on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years or Easter.

Save the Forests.

There is no greater nor more
urgent internal problem confront
ing the American people at this
time than the necessity of saving
and perpetuating their forest re-
sources. In an address delivered
last year before the Society of
American Foresters, President
Roosevelt gave emphasis to this
fact when he said: II believe that
there is no body of men who have
it in their power today to do a
greater service to the country than
those engaged in the scientific
study and practical application of
methods of forestry for preserva-
ton of our woods in the United
States" That we are exhausting
our forest resources far more
rapidly than they are being pro-
duced is a matter of common
knowledge. But not every one is
prepared to follow out this fact to
its consequence in the future.
For numbering, the fourth great
industry of the United States, the
outlook is manifestly ominous.
No less dependent on the exist
ence of forests is the industry of
mining. Under present methods
mines cannot be developed with
out timber. Where ore is of
low grade the necessity of trans
porting timber from a distance
may COMPEL the abandonment of
the mine On the terraced steppes
of the Sierra Nevada the forest
has another and greater value,
quite apart from the uses to which
the wood might be put. For in
California, especially, the pros
perity of vast regions is depend
ent on the even and continued
flow of streams that have their
sources among the forest-bearing
mountains. Residual glaciers in
many cases are the fountain-heads
of the streams, but the forests are
their conservators in all cases.

that public highway be opened
up in Mason Valley, was received.
The proposed road is in the Pat

over until next meeting.
The bonds of the several county

amined, and, being found good
and sufficient, were approved.

deed, would come severe breaks when money rose. No clearer proof than this can be afforded of the absence of the gen. eral public.
 What Is the outlook? Apparently noth- ing can weaken the powerful grasp of the big interests in control of the market. We have had the uncertainties of Russian affairs and tightness of money-each fac- tor sufficient in an ordinary market to cause severe reaction, while such re- actions as have come about have been small and ephemeraL With the certainty of money easing up and with the proba- bility that Russian distress has touched bottom there Is nothing in sight upon which to predicate a downward move ment of importance. The bear party IS still numerous, still vigorous, but so far has succeeded in doing nothing but trans- fer large slices of it's bank account to the bulls

The Money Market.

Call loan rates are subsiding from the extremely high levels recently, but are still pretty stiff. One prominent broker told me that the 25 per cent rates that were paid were not legitimate; that they were brought about by those whom he termed the Kids of the Board; that the aforesaid ''kids' on one or two days got panic-stricken. rushed into the loan crowd and bid money upon themselves in ridi- culous fashion. Be that as 1t may, the high rates exerted little or no influence on speculation.
 Undoubtedly the cause for this has two explanations. First, the big plungers have laid in millions of time money at not over per cent; second. the interest item even at es per cent becomes incon- siderable. SO long as the masters of the market are able to push mp their favorites point upon point every day.
 These conditions could not exist. were the general public carrying stocks oi margin in esmmiaxion houses. Then. In

Both the common and preferred stocks of the United States Steel corporation are gradually working upwards. The pre- ferred stocks as seasoned 2 per cent dividend payer Is absurdly cheap. Why. at $1. 40 1t would still net 5 per cent as an investment.
 The possibilities of the common stock are virtually unlimited If tho present in- crease in earnings should maintain the same rates for year or two the common stock would be earning 10 per cent and be worth more than the preferred.
 However, the steel trust has It's trou- bles. It's present president, Mir. Corey Is mixed up with an actress just as his predecessor. Mir. schwab, was mixed up with a roulette wheel, and 1t is beginning to be feared in virtuous circles that vice must turk in the atmosphere of the steel executive office. Of course this has noth- ing to do with the earning power of tho company or the value of It's securities. but it leaves nasty taste in the mouth and keeps many straight-laced elder from having anything to do with the con- cprn

Railroad Stocks.

While industrials are doing remarkable "stunts" railroad stocks take a second place. Still there is evidence of a good deal of quiet buying and here and there some exceptional advances. The junior yanderbilts maintain their new high levels helped by persistent rumors of the reorganization of big holding company Some rumors are not really necessary to account for the pre-eminence of these stocks-their earnings being simply phe- nomenal.
