Just before election the voter is all
ways earnestly advised to vote, and he
is told that his vote is important, that
it may even be the decisive one. lie
smiles a little at the earnestness Of the
advice, and votes if he feels like it,
and has nothing more interesting to do.
But there really are times when one
vote counts. For instance, a recount Of
the ballots at tho recent mayoralty
election in Cambridge, Massachusetts,,
has yielded this result: Awkward,
(dem.) 2,641, Thurston rep) 2,64O.
OF course the man who made Awkward
mayor may not be discovered, but he
did great work. This incident should
teach the careless voter his value and
be a help to political workers in getting
out the vote.

Boyless Town.

A cross old woman Of long ago
Declared that she hated noise
The town would be so pleasant, you
know,
If only there We're no boys"
She scolded and fretted about it till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead
And then, Of a sudden, the town grew
still
For ali the boys had fed.
And all through the long and dusty
street
There wasn't a boy in view;
The baseball lot where they used to
meet
Was a sight to make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base,
And the paths that the runners made;
For there wasn't a soul in all the place,
VINO knew how the game was played
The cherries rotted and went to waste
There was no one to climb the trees;
And nobody had a single taste
Save only the birds and bees,
There wasn't a messenger boy-not
ono
To speed as such messengers can;
If people wanted their errands done
They sent for a messenger man.
There was little, I ween, Of frolic and
noise;
There was less of cheer and mirth,
The sad old town, since it lacked its
boys,
Was the dreariest place on earth,
The poor old woman began to weep,
Then woke with a sudden scream;
Dear met she cried, = have been
asleep,
And oh, what a horrid dreamr

They tackle sociological problems in
Chicago Just as they tackle other prob
lems-with skill and confidence. Some
Chicago widows have decided that they
can live more comfortably by organic
ing themselves into club and estab-
fishing a community home. Several
wealthy widows have subscribed large
amounts for the enterprise. Divorces
and grass widows are barred, each APP
plicant for membership in the club be-
ing obliged to present her husbands
death certificate. Widows with children
are welcome, one of the objects of the
home being to aid those with families,
who often experience difficulty in find
ing home. There will be nurseries,
Iplayrooms and Fairgrounds, and nurses
and Undergraduates to look after the
children, so that mothers may work
outside if they wish The management
also will keep q sharp eye out for the
designing man, we are told, no married
man being allowed to call at the home
unless accompanied by his Wife. A
class of unmarried men called trihers
will also receive the cold shoulder, ant
the experienced widows will attend tc

TRUE AS PRE4CHING,

Some of the preachers are coming so
near telling some of the truth that it
is startling Thus on Sunday the Rev
DR.. Madison Peters said that We need
to-day in the sacred desk men who will
not shrink from speaking what they
truly think. And he added: 1T is an
admitted fact that the Church in New
York has alienated the masses because
Of her unchristianlike attitude toward
the people. What little progress it is
making is being made among the high
e. classes. But how has the church OBJ
tanned entrance into those circles?
Why, by forsaking the teachings of
Him who. when on earth, gave as
proof of His Messiahship that He
preached the gospel to the poor. The
hollowness Of Fifth avenue Christiani-
ty is proverbal What these living
Scribes and Pharisees need is some
preaching along the line of the Ten
Commandments. But no, we are hired
to preach what people like and so
many man to-day in fashionable pull
pits must sell his manhood for the fav-
or of a few in the congregation who
pay his salary 1t would be laugha-
bic if it were no so sad to hear such
people talk about the cross.
Perhaps this state u affairs in fash
ionable pulpibs' is not wholly new, or
peculiar to our times. 1t was probably
much the same in the fashionable pull
pits of the good old days. But no one
can honestly say it is, or was right,
and Brother Peters deserves credit for
saying so courageously and emphatic
ally that it lis wrong

10 Editor OF the journal ana courier:
Just a little space, please, in your
valuable columns regarding the pest
contagious disease house. BY no
means should it be located in the
Twelfth ward Other wards, of course,
will speak for themselves. The hearing
last week in the city hall must be a
surprise, in one respect in particular,
to many fair-minded men, 1t is that
4 Rev. Drs. Smyth and Phillips should
appear and advocate the building of
the hospital" among the people of Rev.
DR. Sneath's parish. We most respect
fully ask, Did they consult with DR..
\ Sheath, or did they take it upon them
selves, without consulting him, to lend
their influence to the movement which,
if successful, will place upon the par
Iishioners Of their fellow worker in the
! Conversational church a pest that will
decrease the value of their property
and drive many into other communi-
ties? Did they consult personally, as
believe, at least, they should before adj
vocating such "a project, the priests and
other ministers Of the Twelfth ward,
regardless of what the Ministers asso-
! citation did? And, again, why should
Drs Smyth and Phillips appear at all?
Why should DR.. Smyth, who lives on
Temple street and DR.. Phillips, who
lives on Orange street, feel called upon
to seek the placing of the pest-house
on a certain spot which in short
period, at the rate of building during
the last few years, must soon be sur
rounded by dwelling houses occupied,
| judging from those now living in this
! vicinity, and with decidedly no retlec-
ton on residents of other sections of
the city with as fine lot of thrifty
intelligent and honest American citi-
zens as any man would want to see?
Furthermore, by what absolute proof
does DR.. Daggett make his deduction
that danger of contagion extends only
a certain number of feet from the seat
of the contagion itself? Is he as sure
of this as DR.. Koch was that his lymph
would cure consumption? Is he sure
that flies would not spread smallpox
as it is now said they do yellow fever,
and as mosquitoes do malaria?
"A rose by any other name would

The naval constructors are deeply in
terested in the designs which attempt
TO provide some means of protection
against submarine attack. 1t is found
necessary to make special means of
protection, not only against the torpe-
does of the submarine boat but against
the submerged mine. This is one of the
lessons taught by Japanese attack up
on Russian ships, and it is evident that
naval conflict hereafter must take into
account this form of warfare. The
most recent design which has been de-
vised by the constructors provides
against a fatal result of any damage
other than the complete demolition of
the underwater hull by. a suitable ar
rangement of transverse waterdght

NIth Dakota Solves the Adulteration
Problem

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures OF
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
LET the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, il any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
socaled white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But If they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little - sometimes no - real
white lead
y would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwttingly buying what we did not

All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of a few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. 1t is well estab-
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporized as is the case
with Alum, but leaves a residue in the
bread, which Is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing its function during
process Of baking, leaving no atom of
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
homer. Baking Powder made Of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream Of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der is Alum and another Cream OF
Tartar Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev.
