Burlington Hawk.Eye: oskaloos!

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Oskaloosa
Is having trouble over the disposal of
it's sewage. The present arrangement
Is far from satisfactory ana it is
feared that an epidemic may result
at any time. Hence it is proposed to
render the sewage harmless by means
of the septic tank system. Sooner or
later every city will be compelled to
do something of the sort. AS long as
that is not done, the nnest system OF
modern sewerage, which is supposed
to be built upon sanitary principles
and to improve the sanitary condi'
tions, becomes a menace to public
health, a greater danger than would
have existed or would have been pos.
sible in the good old times before san
itary science was invented.

WORK SOLVES PROBLEM.

The city of Des Moines is applying
to municipal problems a similar insti-
tuition to the system used by the AS
ISOLATED Charities in Oskaloosa. The
Associated Charities in that city have
long used the industrial plan in zeal
ing out help to the destitute, and the
success of the plan has led the city
lawmakers to plan for a work house
in which to utilize the labor of about
a hundred buns who are constantly
making their winter home in the Des
Moines city jail. Men who want help
and deserve it will be willing to do
something in return and the profes-
sional loafer who wants only a warm
place to sleep will shun the Des
Moines work house as a pest. The
city will pay nothing for his keep.
The Des Moines authorities have
patterned after their charity organ
ization the plan Of which is meeting
with a great success in this city. The
professional CRATER won't work for
charity. He doesn't believe in the
pIOllSISu opportunity W uSlp ulLuSSll'
The method results in the wedding
out of the professionals. The organ.
ization gets a return in labor for
what it expends.
Regarding the proposed WORK house
in Des Moines Mayor Mattern of that
city says:
I'VE will need to lease or buy a
tract of ground, purchase lumber
enough for a high board fence, start
out with a car load of rock and a few
hammers, and that's about all there
is to it. The institution will be a
money-maker, to say nothing Of what
it will mean in the solution of the
hobo question. The first cost will be
somewhere around $500, and thereaf
ter the city will constantly be making
a profit. Their. is a great uemand for
crushed stone, and a contractor would
as soon buy it of Des Moines as to
purchase it from a firm or Individual

RELIGIOUS sEcrs GROWING.

Nearly all religious sects, as their
figures of growth for last year are an
nounced, show a larger percentage OF
increase than in previous years, says
the New York Herald. In several de-
nominations the ratio of growth ex'
ceeds the usual ratio of increase in
the population. This is notably the
case in the Episcopal church, which
last year gained 2 per cent on its
membership of the previous year,
while the population growth is esti,
mated at about 2 per cent. The Epis,
copal church has added 25,915 to its
S07,351.
In the Presbyterian church the in
crease in membership last year was
at the rate Of 2k per cent, the gain in
members being 27,431 and the total
number 1,094,9 0S. Last years gain
was 2 Is per cent. The Southern
Presbyterian church, a smaller body
than the Northern, having but 239,SSS
members, gained 2 per cent last year
The ratio of gain by the Methodist
membership is not so large as in the
other bodies named, but was l AS per
cent, or almost as much as the esti
mated ratio of population growth. Fol-
the previous year the Methodist ratio
was only l per cent. The body has
now 3,064,735 members, of whom
about 100000 are connected with for
eign conferences and missions.
1t is stated in the Presbyterian
handbook for 1905. that the religions
of the world have 1,430,0 900, 900 adher
ents, divided as follows: Christianity
4~77,0S0,158; Confucianism, 256,000, 900;
Hinduism, 100, O00, 900; Mohammedism
176,834,372; Buddhism, lat, 900, 900;
