er.

thority over the church unreservedly 10

PAUL MORTON APPEALS TO
EQUITABLE P0LICYH0lDERS

New York, Dec. 17.-An appeal to the
policyholders in all the states Of the
Union TO lend their assistance In pre-
venting adverse legislation, Is made by
President Paul Morton of the Equitable
Life Assurance society, In a circular
letter which Is being sent TO policyhold-
ers. President Morton says that the
Insurance business is certain to be the
subject of great consideration by legis-
latures soon to convene, as result OF
what has been printed and said about
insurance during the last six months.
But you cannot give men character
nor make them honest by preamble,
resolution or enactment" says the let
ter What the life insurance business
needs above everything Is honesty and
good business administration. There
can be no objection to proper legisla-
ton safeguarding the business, but II
should be sound and sane. The So
ciety depends upon It's policyholders TO
see that there is no unreasonable legis-
fatlon enacted. II may from time TO
time call their attention to measures
calculated TO do them harm, but under
no circumstances will ii be party to
any corrupt methods In preventing
strike legislation. We aim to NEE t
the lust requirements of every state
and government, and rely upon our pol
icyholders to see that no injustice Is
done them.
ANY unfair Insurance law or unfair
insurance tax measures enacted by
your state legislature Injuries you and
reduces the dividend earnings of your
policy. Your dividends would be near
~ 10 per cent larger II II were not for
the state taxes and license fees that the
society Is obliged to pay"
Mr.. Morton expresses the opinion that
the Equitable has no right to contrib
ute to political campaign funds, and In
forms the policyholders that no such

contributions will be made by the So
ciety In the future. He says IN the
future the society's reserve will be IN
vested In real estate mortgages or the
securities of other well-established cor
poratlons serving those sections OF the
country which produce the premiums;
He assures the policyholders that the
financial condition of the society. as
disclosed by a most careful examina-
ton BY competent and dlsinterested ac-
countants, is excellent, and that many
economies already In practise and oth-
ers yet to be made surely will enhance
Its conditions. He urges all policy.
holders to continue the payment OF
their premiums. and says the inyestiga-
ton Of the society has convinced Nun

deemed Washington the purest and
noblest character of modern time-pos-
sibly of all time-and, considering the
raw troops with which he had to op-
pose the trained and veteran soldiers

Another interesting statement which
the second duke made to General VIII
son, who writes to the Cornhlll, was
that when his father was assigned to
the command OF an expedition to be
sent out against the city OF Washing
ton and New Orleans in 1914 he de-
clined the command chiefly on the
ground that he would not fight against
Washingtons countrymen. And when
his government asked for the names

OSTEOPATHY.

Ques. Do Osteopaths believe in the
germ theory of disease?
Ans. Yes.
Ques. Then why do they say dis
eases are caused by slight displace-
ment of bones, ETC.? Explain.
Ans. The body in perfect health. is
proof against germs. The blood is
the best germicide and the only one
that can operate within the body.
When the bony or muscular obstruc-
tions cut off the healthy blood supply
to any organ, the germ acting on that
particular organ gets a foothold and
propagates. The bony or muscular
obstruction is the predisposing cause,
the germ the active cause.
How then fight the germ?
The idea that medicine Is intro
duced to kill the germ is erroneous
and is claimed by no physician. The
blood is the only germicide that can
act within the body. therefore remove
the bony and muscular obstruction
and permit the blood to do its work.
This is what the Osteopath does In
treating germ diseases. And 1t eX-
plains why the Osteopath can abort
typhoid fever, pneumonia. la grippe.
etc, while the medical doctors say
they must run their course.

Bard NAV Go East.

There is a probability that Rev,
Andreas Bard will resign as rector
OF the Episcopal church at Walla
Walla and sever his connection with
st. Pauls school. Rev. Bard is not
satisfied with the condition of the
school and his going hinges on the
steps taken by Bishop Wells as re-
CARDS the Advancement of the institu-
ton. Rev. Bard is ambitious and can
not stand to have progress shackled.
Should he leave he will probably ac-
cept a call as assistant rector to All
Souls cathedral. New York. He is
also offered the pulpit in the Advent
at San Francisco. One of the most
flattering opportunities. however. is
to take the Episcopal church at Dres-
den. Germany.

Irrigation in Baker County.

Quietly and without the blowing of
horns Isador Fuchs and his associates
during the past year or two have en-
tered and acquired title to something
over 1000 acres of sagebrush land
situated about 20 miles east Of Baker
City in the Balm creek country, which
at the time they took 1t up 1t was not
worth 10 cents an acre, but will soon
be worth hundred of dollars an acre
With peculiar foresight and adept
ness Mr.. Fuchs discovered a natural
reservoir site where 1t was possible
with slight expense to dam the water
In sufficient quantity to irrigate the
thousands of acres below. Four miles
OF bitches have already been con-
structed and more ditching will be
done this year. A 60-foot dam will
put 80 feet of water over 1O0-acre
basin, furnishing water enough for
many tracts of land the size of the
one Mr.. Fuchs has entered.-Baker
City Democrat.
