LOCAL METHODIST
CHURCH RAISED
OVER $4,000
At The Two Services Held
Yesterday.
NEW CHURCH OPENED THEN
Presiding Elder Was Present and An
peaIs For Money Was Generously
Responded To.

The chapel Of the new M. E. church
was packed yesterday with interested
members of the church and congre-
CATION, and the program was carried
out to the letter. The music was fine
and the sermons by Presiding Elders
P. L. Dow and F. L. De ker were of
the higher order and greatly enjoyed.
In the morning Rev. p. L. Dow
preached brief Christmas sermon
after which the pastor made a brief
statement concerning the building en-.
terprise and the need of funds to pay
for the Sunday school rooms.
He gave little of the history of the
achievements thus far and said that 1t
would require at least $500 to clear
up all obligations except the mortgage
held bv the savings bank. In short
time $500 was pledged.
In the evening Rev. F. L. Decker of
Saratoga preached on 1.-THE Loyalty
OF Thomas" and Mr. Dow asked the
people for an additional Offering and
before 9 o'clock over eleven hundred
dollars more we're pledged. The total
raised was s3690 %. There are still
Sl0S0 old unpaid subscriptions.
These gifts were almost wholly by
the church and congregation as but
few others were present, and when we
think of the amount already raised by
these people it is remarkable.
Everybody seemed delighted with
the new rooms and certainly when the
auditorium is completed there will be
no more beautiful or commodious
church in the conference. The build
ing thus far done makes /. possible to-
carry on all the work of the church
and as soon as possible the auditor
ium will be furnished.
The achievements of this church dur
ing the last two years have surprised
even the church people themselves.
The pastor has plans for important
changes beginning with the iSSew Year.
Next Sunday the Sunday school
Christmas concert will be given at 5
p. m. The primary department will
enjoy Christmas trees Friday at 3 D.
m. and the whole school will hold a
social in the evening of that day.

Secretary Wilson Warns Manu-

Again. Deception.
WHAT SERIAL NUMBER MEANS

. j = 2 - & 4. Z T.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 1G.--'Ii
this outrageous Misrepresentation does
not cease. the department will publish a
list bearing the names Of manufacturers
who are INDUCING in this campaign Of
deception"
This remark was uttered by Secretary
Wilson, of the Department OF Agricul-
ture, IN the authorized statement to-d day
and was brought forth by the fact that
there had come to his knowledge inforna-
ton that number of manufacturers of
foods and drugs were freely advertising
that the United States government was
guaranteeing their products. The secre
tary said that the serial number and
guaranty required by the pure food and
drug act to be placed on food aud drug
products were being used by these man
ufncturers for this purpose.
The serial number" said Secretary
Wilson, lis assigned to fix the respon-
.stbility where it belongs. upon the man
ufacturer, and to protect innocent deal
ers, who have right, under the law,
to rely upon his guaranty. 1t Is the guar
guarantee of the government"
The secretary declared that every effort
will be made by the department to put a
stop to these statements. II will do a
little advertising myself, he said. sin
behalf of the people. am growing tired
Of seeing these untruthful statements on
the advertising pages OF the magazines
the walls OF the New York Subway and
the advertising space of the street cars
Of the principal cities. Manufacturers
who will deceive the public about the
guaranty will lie about the quality q
their product"
He added that the law was to be adj
ministered fairly, and that no honest
manufacturer need fear that the depart
ment will take "snap Judgment on hin
or harass him in any way.
