ROGERS is MUM.
Standard Oil Magnate Refuses to An.
SWer important Questions

New York, Jan. SIT developed
from the questions asked by Attorney
General Herbert S. Hadey, OF Mis-
souri, of Henry Fl. Rogers, vice presi-
dent and director of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey that one of
Mr.. Hadley's chief purposes in con-
ducting an examination of officers of
that company in this city is TO find
out whether that company owns a con-
trolling interest in the Standard Oil
company of Indiana, the Waters-Pierce
on company of Missouri. and the Re-
public Oil company. This, Mr.. Hadley
s&ic tonight he regards as step in
the direction of excluding the three
later companies from doing business
in Missouri.
TO most of the important questions
asked by Mr. Hadley. bearing directly
on the question of stock ownership.
Mr. Rogers declined to give any an
swer "on the advice of counsel" and
Mr.. Hadley requested Commissioner
Frederick H. SanbOrn to certify the
question and Mr.. Rogers refusal to
the supreme court of this state for a
determination as to whether or not
Mr. Rogers must answer them or be
adjudged in contempt
MT. ftadiey tonight declared that he
would take all these questions to the
supreme court OF New York state to
secure an order for Mr.. Rogers TO show
cause why he shall not answer them.
Mr. Rogers did say. however, that he
never heard OF an agreement between
In Standard Oil company of New Jer-
Sey and the Waters-Pierce company to
divide the trade Of Missouri, and that
h did not believe it was ever made.
Mr.. Hadley said afterward that he
had an injunction against such a di-
vision, but that he was unable n Mis-
souri, to show from the offices of the
oil companies that they are owned by
the same party.

did not pass. 1t will not pass you.
There are some things like that in the
church, far too serious to be funny.
Such as going to the pastor time after
time and asking: "Is this right, "ls
that mans position correct" Where
is that spirit that guideth into oil
truth?
What are you doing to advance the
Presbyterian Church, or our name ID
His name. by your own development:
A danger to-day lies in believing IN the
wrong or error that may be In our
creeds. Is there anything in them that
ought to be eliminated? 1t Is a great
peril to think that all truth is in our
creed and that what is not written
there is wrong. For that stops ad-
yancement and is q check to our pro-
gress in Christ's knowledge and grace
and means declension-lOss. Christ
taught the truth and did not formulate
It. The apostles enlarged upon 1t to-
meet the needs of the growing church;
the early fathers systematized truth
into creeds. And so it went on down
from the time of Constantine to the
Renaissance, until we found the truth,
not by ecclesiastical dictum, but in ef-
feet it was the same. have seen old
people so under the domination or
their ecclesiastical commentator that
they couId see nothing in the Bible but
" hat he taught.
But as I read the signs of the time
the church to-day is on the eve OF an
advancement in the knowledge of
Jesus Christ unequalled in her history.
You and ] want part in that. l know
some Of my ministerial brethren do not
so read; they listen to the jarrlng
voices Of to-day: Down with the Bi-
Bile. Lop off lump after lump and give
us love in mighty principle" which Is
but sentimentality. That is not what
God means. We are at the headwaters
Of mighty, flowing river, which is yet
bubbling and has not become deep and
calm and still. But it will, and when
it does we shall have more truth, not
less. Be sure Of that. Our creeds
ought to gather up in themselves all
the truth that is in Christ Jesus per-
petually, just as He gathers UP in Him.
self the "fulness of the godhead bodi-
ly." Their confusion is like puzzle
picture from which some pieces are
lost. 1t is your duty, and niue, to find
the pieces and put them in their proper
places until our creed becomes a per-
feet pen picture Of the Goldman. When
it does. we shall have creed on which
every lover Of the Goldman will stand
comfortably. 1t will be that way In
heaven. 1t shall be that way on earth.
Don't you want hand in:that? How?
Net only for your own sake, but for
the worlds sake and the church's sake.
"Grow in grace and in the knowledge
of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ"
How? Simply by the use of the
means of grace which Christ Instituted
for that very purpose; by the public
ministry of the Word, by private inter-
course with Jesus. by your right use Of
the Word Of God, by those activities
for which you find channels not only
in the church, but out of 1t every day.

sinews are developed as your physical
ones are-by use.

material is pale blue pongee with
trimmings of heavy lace that is dyed

ciennes. Still further variations can,
however, he provided by using con-
trasting material for the vest. Again,
if the lace applique is not liked, the
jacket itself can be left plain, finished
only with the frills or in any manner
that may be liked, while the collar and
cuffs can be trimmed either with rows
Of straight braid or with soutache
braid applied over simple stamped
design.
The jacket is made with fronts, back
and vest. There is box pleat at
each edge of the front and at the cen
tire back and there are Outward-turn-
ing pleats from the shoulders. The
vest is attached beneath the box pleats

the neck. The sleyees are in elbow
length, moderately full. and are gath
cred into straight bands that are con-
cealed by the cuffs.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is four yards twenty

The Admiral's Flight.

Had not Admiral Lord Keith de-
liberately lodged the. process-server,
Napoleon might never have gone to
st. Helena. I'VE wish that the King
Of France. would hang or shoot Bon
aparte, as the best termination of the
business" wrote Lord Liverpool, our
humane prime minister. They did
not want him back in England, what
ever happened. Others did. A man,
bent on getting him brought ashore,
issued a subpoena for Napoleon.
Lord Keith thought it was a writ OF
babeas corpus, and was determined
not to have it served. The man
chased him all day, he declared, first
starting him out Of his own house
then following him to the Tonnant
which he entered on one side as the
admiral left by fhe other; and pur-
suing him still further round the
fleet, until Lord Keith finally out
rowed him in a twelve-oared barge,
and gave him the slip. Had Napol-
con once come ashore and seen the
Prince Regent, he had never seen
st. Helena. why, blame the fel-
low" said Keith, after his interview
with his Royal Highness. in half an
hour they would have been the best
friends in England" Which, judg-
ing from all the evidence, seems ac-
curately to express the probabilities.

The Glass Of Water Cure.

A certain old family physician
never tires of proclaiming the vir-
tues of a glass of cold water taken
on waking in the morning.
Many people" he remarks. avoid
drinking water as though it were
poison, although without it no one
can be properly healthy. When
taken early in the morning it has a
cleansing and bracing effect on the
system, while it's beneficial effect on
the liver can hardly be exaggerated.
1T is so simple a rule that the ad-
vice is well worth following, espe-
cially by those who suffer with in
digestion or who awake with a feel
ing of languor, an early morning
sensation which aff1icts innumerable
people of sedentary habits. KAN

A Prayer.

Lord, ] know not what ought to ask
of Thee; Thou only knowest what I
need, Thou lowest me better than I
know how to,loye myself. o Father,
give to Thy child that which he himself
knows not how to ask. I dare not ask
either for crosses or consultations; I
simply present myself before Thee, /
open my heart to Thee. Behold my
needs which I know not myself; see
and do according to Thy tender mercy.
Smite or heal, depress me or raise me
up, I adore all Thy purposes without
knowing them; am silent; offer my
self in sacrifice; yield myself to Thee;
I would have no other desire than to
accomplish Thy will. Teach Inc to
pray. Pray Thyself in me. Amen

Tho Vfctors Who O'ercame

The word "tribulation" . is derived
from the Latin word tribulum, q
threshing instrument, by which the
Roman husbandmen separated the
corn from the chaff, says writer in
the Southern Cross, and it was often
used by the Christian writers as an
image for setting forth higher truth.
and so the trials and sorrows of this
life are "God's threshing instruments"
for separating in men. whatever Is
light, sinful, poor and trivial from
what is good, solid and true-llterally
the wheat from the chaff-fitting them
for the heavenly garner.

which would cause much loss OF crops

ward hen Is a wonderful combination OF
productive forces. In FIVE years time
she will lay 700 eggs. each contain
ing $50 grains Of water, 125 Of fat,
Jos of lime. 80 of albumen, 2G Of sugar
and 10 of ash-the most condensed ana
Strengthening form Of food offered to
man. Every person having little
plot Of ground is able to keep from
half a. dozen to many dozen of these
wonders and so add to the family In
come. To do this to the greatest ad-
vantage, one must know how to care
for his fowls-to guard against, de-
tect and cure disease; which fowls to
save for breeding purposes. etc. The
simplest and most satisfactory way OF
securing this knowledge is to buy 1t
from some person who has made
success of fowl raising as business.

The School Teacher.

A young man fresh from college
who decides to become school
teacher has many things to consider.
The profession, if it can be called a
profession, is still unorganized. No
standard of excellence, no diploma
certifying ability, is required. Meth
DDS of teaching in public schools In
New York State are very different
from those in Colorado, and those in
Utica are different from those in
Buffalo. There are private schools
of all kinds. There are almost as
many methods Of teaching arithmetic
as there of teaching vocal music. To
obtain his first position he ordinarily
joins an agency. He takes to the
agency his record at college, supple
nlented by as many recommenda-
tions from his professors as possible,
rays his yearly fee and promises the
agency a certain percentage - five
per cent usually-of his first years
salary. Occasionally his college will
find a place for him in one Of the
schools that prepare directly for it.
At any rate, he will find without
great difficulty a position that will
support him. Perhaps it will be in a
little denominational boarding
school, where he will teach thirteen
different subjects during his first
year, as one man I know did. 1t he
survives his first year successfully
and with some measure Of content
in the work he is likely to be a
teacher for the rest Of his life.-Les-
lies Monthly.

A 81 cart Throb.

o most glorious God, relieve my
spirit with Thy grac:ousness. Take
from me all tediousness Of spirit, and
give me a hope that shall not fail. a
desire Of holiness not to be satisfied
till it possesses a charity that will al
ways increase, that I may turn all
things into religion. doing all to Thy
glory; that, when Thou shalt call me
from this deliciousness Of employment,
I may pass into the employments OF
saints and angels, whose work it is,
with eternal joy and Thanksgiving, to
sing praises unto Thy mercies. Amen.

For Summer Styles.

The three styles that Will be worn
most of all this summer are very
much like the old styles. 1t seems
absurd to mention them as new, yet
they have points which make them
new.
There is the princesse skirt, coming
up high enough to form corselet or
girdle, with the oyerhanging Elton,
short in the back and long in the
front.
The killed skirt with Elton coat and
girdle, made of cloth or linen, or thin
summer stuff, will be worn again.
And there will be the circular skirt,
with little loose coat, nicely trimmed
with hand work and made along the
tailored lines, with plenty Of stitching
and seams very neatly finished.
And last, though it should have been
first, comes the circular skirt.

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees With Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: I'm the prac-
tice of my profession I have found so
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that unhesitatingly recommend
it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate ian essential in food for the sick)
and can be adapted to all ages, being
softened with milk or cream for babies
or the aged when deficiency of teeth
renders mastication impossible, For
fever patients or those on liquid diet
6nd GrapeNuts and albumen water
very nourishing and refreshing. This
recipe is my own idea and is made as
fellows: Soak teaspoonfHl of Grape
Nuts in a glass Of water for an hour,
strain and serve with the beaten white
of an egg and a spoonful Of fruit juice
or flayoring. This affords great deal
of nourishment that even the weakest
stomach can assimilate without any
distress.
My husband is physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.
PERSONALLY regard dish Of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick" Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
In any case of stomach trouble, ner-
yous prostration or brain fag, a 10
days trial of Grape-Nnts will work
wonders toward nourishing and re-
building, and in this way ending the
trouble. There's reason" and trial
proves.

book, "The Road to Wellyille."

Iron Torks For sweden.

Extensive projects for the estabHsfs
ment of ironworks on the west coast et
Sweden are now under considerations
but it is alleged here that such work.
in order to be successful, must not be
dependent on the home markets, bot
be in a position to manufacture cheap
ly and compete with other produce ~
the markets of the world. This, 1t ~
admitted, is of more Importance to the
new industry than either an export
duty on iron or heavy customs drfties
on foreign produce introduced int
Sweden.
