Last year the enormous sum of s63, O47 S67
was sent from the United States to foreign
countries in post Office money orders, the
greater part of it undoubtedly being con-
tributions from foreign-born citizens to the
support of their parents and families in
the countries from which they came. There
were 5000, 5OS transactions, which shows
an average of SCI for each money order
sent. 1t may be assumed also that con-
siderable amount of it was intended to pay
the passage of immigrants to this country
and that large number of the one million
additions to our population during 1906
were brought over by that means.
During the last ten years the enormous
sum of s2Ss. 721 600 has been sent from the
United States to foreign countries, 49,
1874 ,4S1 post Office money orders, which Is
an average of about SIS for each transac-
ton. This Is tremendous drain upon the
finances of the country, and as money orders
are seldom used by persons Of large means
in regular business transactions, it Is safe
to say that almost the entire amount came
out of the savings of the wage-earners Of
the country. 1t is doubtful whether any
other country could have sustained such q
drain.
The increase during the ten years ending
1906 has been phenomenal. Three times as
many post office orders were sent abroad
in 1896 as in 1897, and they represented five
times as much money. The following
statement will show the number of orders
issued each year during the last ten years
and the amount of money represented by
them:

DR.. c. w Sprague of Detroit was the prin-
cipal speaker yesterday at the meeting of
the Washington Secular League, held at
Pythian Temple. 9th street near Massachu-
sets avenue northwest. The speaker read
extracts from such writer's on the subject
of spiritualism as Prof. Crookes of X-ray
fame. Cromwell F. Marley and Victor Hugo
and number of others. These writers were
used to substantiate the speakers belief in
the authenticity Of spiritual and psychic
phenomena. He stated that he had daily
conversations with persons who have de-
parted this life and that ''the Bible needs
deodorizing."
Dr. w. A. Croffut stated that he had
never been able to get into communication
with the spirit world He said he supposed
the spirits that answered his calls could not
spell their own names correctly and that on
a number of occasions the hidden visitant
supposed to be the shade of his dead
mother. had told fibs about her life on
earth.
Mr.. Cheshire. who is eighty-fve years of
age said he had never been able to get into
communication with those who have passed
away. Mr.. Burr, eighty-three years of age.

medium, also upheld them.

Delicate, weak, nervous women
should especially shun the use of al
coholic medicines which, from their
stimulating and exhilarating effects,
may seem, for time, to do good,
but which, from the inevitable eff
fects of the alcohol in shrinking up
the red corpuscles of the blood, are
sure to do great and lasting harm
in the long run. Besides, they beget
