OTHER POSTISMS.
The following is what Mrs. Post has
to say relative to what can be accom-
plished by "absent treatment"
From Freedom, Nov. 2, 1893:
"Yes, mental science treatment will re-
move not only the signs of old age, such
as gray hairs and wrinkles, but it will
remove old age itself. 1t will renew
YOUTH.
In her paper, Freedom, of April q,
1893, she says:
Freedom is the only paper published
whose leading and avowed object is to
overcome death right here in this world
and right now"
MRS. POST GROWING YOUNGER
AND YOUNGER.
In another issue of Freedom, dated
Nov. %, 1898, Mrs. Post explains her
wonderful power to control disease, pow
erty, and all forms of weakness, includ-
ing old age and death, and refers to her
own personality as a proof that it can
be done.
This is what she says on the subjects:
"And now look here, want to praise
myself little. am steadily growing
in the knowledge of truth and the power
to control disease and poverty and all
forms of weakness, and old age among
other negatives; and begin to show this
fact in my personality. Consider for a
moment what wonderful thing this
is! That one person by persistent re-
search in the undiscovered realms of
mind has really found the secret of end

ENGLAND's NEW DREADNoUGHT.
Superior In Speed, But Presents q
Greater TARGET Surface

The publication of the White Book in
London giving some Information concerning
the main Gestures Of the large English
battleship Dreadnought has caused some
discussion among naval officers. but the
facts made public were already known by
the officers OF the navy who are interested
in naval architecture. There is no great
enthusiasm among many NJ the naval Of
fcers In regard to the construction ,f a
ship, which will equal the Dreaduought as
q sea-fghting machine. It Is pointed out
that the United States now has under con-
struction two ships, tho Michigan and
South Carolina. which are equal to the
Dreadnought In broadside battle These
two ships can fire eight twelve-inch Euns
on either side and that Is all chat can be
done by the Dreadnought. The latter, how
ever, could fire six twelve-in n guns deal
ahead, whereas the Michigan and South
Carolina could tire but four.
1t is pointed out, however. that very lit
tie fighting Is done head on and that the
effective fighting of a battleship is her
broa dside. Another difference between the
latest types of the American and English
battleships Is that in broadside action all
of tile Pinch guns of the American ships
can be utilized while two of the Pinch
guns OF the English ship must be in active
The advantage of the English ship Is in
greater speed, but she has disadvantage
In larger target surface. Naval officers
generally seem to think that there Is very
little difference In the effectiveness of the
Dreadnought and the Michigan and South
Carolina.

natl Commercial Tribune . (republicanl

are planning to enjoin Senator Dick from
occupying and using the state republican
headquarters A special from Washington
yesterday quoted Senator Dick as saying
that he proposed to open the headquarters
next Monday and strengthen at once the
organization in counties where 1t is weak.
The anti-machine republicans say this
means that Senator Dick is to use the party
campaign funds in building up his own
machine. and that his proposal to use the
campaign headquarters as the party chair
man Is bold usurpation
The party, they say, has not yet selected
the delegates to the state convention that

which. In turn, select Its own executive
officers. They claim that the campaign
committee OF last year of which Senator
DICK was chairman passed out of exist
ence or power at least with the close of
the campaign. There is much feeling here
against Senator Dicks action, but it is not
believed that the courts will be resorted to-.
