Principles Of Economy Involved.

principles OF economy Involved
The agitation for elimination Of the
jobber is based more upon prejudice
and passion than upon facts. The
American people are always looking
for a shorter route to desired end.
They care little who it eliminates just
so It decreases their cost of living.
They care little If every link in the
chain is broken and the manufactures
is allowed to supply the wants OF the
trade direct. No one else could object
to this plan of procedure if it pos
sessed any economic points to recon-
mend it. Time and well ordered ex-
periments have proven, however, that
the best, the most convenient, the
cheapest and most serviceable method
of supplying the wants Of the consum-
er is from maker to jobber, from job
Der to retailer, and from retailer to
consumer. The opportunity for dew
ilment upon the part Of those who
find much of personal gain in showing
the consumer the large number Of
middlemen he is keeping and that if
they be cut out he, the consumer,
will enjoy this profit, is great. Thus
began the m-factory-to-family, cut
he-middle-man argument, and it
sounds good upon the face of things,
but, as stated above, has no real saw
ing at all, since the expense incurred
in getting small shipments from the
factory to the consumer is greater
than the very small per cent. exacted
by both jobber and retailer for their
part performed in the transaction up
on the old method.

Disinfectinu Books.

There is no doubt that all books
kept for a long time in libraries and
other places become the abode of the
germ and microbe. To prevent this a
French professor has introduced a
method of disinfectiEg the books.
They are placed in an oven under
pressure, in which the evaporation of
a certain liquid causes the breaking
up of the aldebydes. 1t is said that
all sorts of books, big and little, can
thus be disinfected without harm to
the cover, the paper or the binding.

scatters Garden Seeds.

Congressman Lafean has distributed
$4,000 packages of garden seed among
his constituents In York and Adams
counties. The original allotment to
each congressional district was 10000
packages Mr.. Lafean must have a
pull with the department of agri-
culture or else he has been awarded
some other congressman's garden
seeds.-Philadelph Record.

Lenathen Dress.

If the goods in dress is still
good, and If the hem has already been
let down, and the dress is still too
short, cut over the dress about four
and a half inches from the bottom
then insert bias band wide enough
to make the dress the required length.
The bias band looks as if it were put
on for trimming.

SOCIALISM A
 GLORIOUS DREAM
(Continued from First Page. )

We are beginning to-day to wonder if we have not made mistake. speak of the church at large-in our unqualified opposition to Christian Sci ence. We are saying to ourselves that it would have been better had we sub stituted investigation for invective At present we are in the midst of an earn est endeavor to extract the pure gold of blessed truth from the crude ore of the healing cults I wonder if the day will not come when we shall regret that we did not hold as a church such sane and Christian attitude iowa rds socialism. Why is it that we feel we must be for or against every popular movement. It Is not thus that we judge public men, We approve them for deeds wise and good while holding ourselves free to criticise them for these that are foolish and iniquitous. Our attitude should be the same to- wards popular movements. Tho prob ability is that they mean something of far-reaching import to the nation. It should be our earnest endeavor to dis cover that meaning, to dsentangle it from those non-essential considerable that awaken prejudice, and to set it in such just relationship to our institu- tions as shall strengthen them. and en- able us, through them, to render a larger service to the common life.
 It is in this spirit of eager and sym pathetic inquiry that 1 approach the subject of socialism. Had it only an economic significance should not quite dare to make the venture. The pulpit is not the place to ask and an- swer questions purely economic in character. It is because socialism is coming to be regarded by many as a religious movement that I take it up. Nothing in present day life should cause the church such deep concern as the rapid spread of socialism. What does 1t mean? Has it any lesson for the church? What should be our atti- tude towards the movement? I cannot hope to give you satisfactory answers to these questions. but at least I may indicate the spirit in which the pro- blems. should be approached. and the sure principles that we should bring to bear upon their solution
 In my preparation for this address. I was tempted to introduce statistics to show the rapid. even amazing. spread of this new doctrine. Modern social ism is of comparatively recent origin. Every ruler in Europe to-day fears it. as he fears nothing else. Though I have decided to keep the statistics out, may say. fin a general way, that the growth of socialism is now compelling the attention of the civilized world Nothing like it has ever been known since the early spread of Christianity Every country in Europe is feeling the pressure of the m >vement. Germany and Austria are already in it's grip. in France it is the one great problem, while conservative England is thor oUghly alarmed over the situation. Not long ago it was freely predicted that socialism would never gain a hold in the labor unions of Great Britain. To- day those unions have gone over to the
