DIR. KENT'S THEME.
Savior's Socialism in Ethical WAY
Discussed at PEOPLES Church.

In his sermon at the Peoples Church
yesterday Rev. DR.. Alexander Kent. the
pastor, asserted that Christ was a social
list in an ethical way. though he promul-
gated no economic system.
While it is>>true." he said. Jesus, so
far as the record shows, did not deal
with economics as such, it certainly can
not reasonably be said His teachings had
no bearing on economics. or could as
readily be reduced to practice Under a
false economic system as under true
one. And If it can be shoWn-as it GER
tainly <can-that His teachings not only
At into the economic theory of the social
lists, but cannot be reduced to practice
under any other. then 1t is manifestly
proper for the socialists to claim Him on
their side.
1.-The socialist means good and not harm
to the man he is seeking to dislodge from
his back. We only want Our own earn
ings and are quite willing that others
shall! have theirs. But we want the on
portunify to earn to be in our own hands
in the hands of every one-so that no
one need be idle waiting for conditions
that will enable another to make a profit
from his labor. This is socialism in its
essence: and from this point of view
Jesus was undoubtedly . socialist

tons, the only ones left in the central
part OF Washington. One was to replace
the North Capitol playground, which it
appeared at the time would have to be
given up at once. There Is a prospect at
the present time, however, that the asso-
citation may be able to retain this play
ground as 1t Is for the present, but there
is very great need of securing the other
site, as 1t is the only one left in that Sec
ton of the city, and has ten public
schools within the radius Of half a mile
of 1t. 1t can be purchased now. it Is said
for less than half of what has been asked
for 1t for the last ten years. If there IS
delay of two or three years in the ac-
QUESTION of these sites they will certainly
cost three or four times what they would
cost this year.

ga cold in the Spring is cold all
Summer says an old proverb. A fine way
to catch cold in the Spring and keep it for
months is to boil your clothes on washday
and bend over steaming suds. The steam
heats you up and opens the pores in your
skin, and cooling off gives you cold.
The way to avoid colds is to wash your
clothes with Fels-Naptha soap in cold or
.ukewarm water. Saves you hard work, fuel
and bother, and your clothes are cleaner,
frcsher and sweeter than when washed in the
old-fashioned, wash-boilcr way. A million
women use Fels-Naptha every week.
Washday has no terrors for them. Be sure
to follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

San Carlos
 Reservation Forest

An announcement is expected in the near future to the effect that the timbered portion of the San Carlos reservation will be turned over to the bureau of forestry and will be under the supervision 0: the supervisor of the Tonto national forest.
 This information is given by Cap tain Luther s Kelley, Indian agent at San Carlos. Captain Kelley states that an inspection of the forests on the reservation will be made in a very short time by forestry officials.
 This will be of great importance to mining men, as not until then will the vast mineral lands of the San Carlos reservation be available for prospecting. Captain K Hey believes that the allotment will he ordered by the department very soon, but before it can be made, surveys must be per- fected and these will occupy about a year.
 The opening of the reservation to leasers which will follow the alIot- ment, will cause stampede of pros pectors to the rich mineral sections of the San Carlos reservation, which will be an event in the mining history of Arizona,
