More thought is being given to the stom- ach today than to any other organ. Diet Ing and a hundred other things are sug- gested, but the fact remains that we have to eat and that in the main we are eat ing the same food today that has been eaten for hundreds of years. The point, then is to find a way of remedying an evil when we find it.
 There comes a time in the lives of all of us when a laxative is necessary, only with some this requirement oc- CUTS more frequently than with others. But whether the occasion is frequent or rare 1t is important that you take simple natural remedy. The farther you get away from the man-made tablet or pill and the salty purgative water the better You want something that com pines the virtues of a laxative and tonic, something that is sure in its effect and yet pleasant to the taste, remedy containing earth-grown veg etables and plants Such Is Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. now for nearly quarter of a century a recognized house. hold friend in thousands of homes.

Joseph H. Choate at a recent banquet in New York praised Attorney General Wickersham. When this able man fights" he said, feathers will fly. But he won't fight until he has grievance. There will be nothing spectacular, nothing burlesque about his battles" MT. Choate smiled. "No," he said, we shall see nothing of Bronco Bill in Attorney Gener- al Wickersham. Bronco Bill, you know, had only one eye. How did you lose that left optic, Bill? a young tenderfoot po- litely asked him. Lose it?' Bill thun- dered. Did you say lose it?

Mines And Buried Treasures Discovered

The mineral wealth of the South has hardly been scratched. Untold millions in gold, silver, iron and copper mines await the fortunate man or men who discover their true location.
 A wonderful instrument called the Span- ish Magnetic Needle has recently been perfected, which has been used with wonderful accuracy in discovering both mines and treasures. The needle has n- terchangeable parts designed for use to indicate the particular mineral sought for Lost and buried treasures of money, gold and silver. are located. Successful miners and prospectors use these needles, but in the past they have been very diff ficult to obtain. We understand however that the Prospectors and Miners Agency of Palmyra, Pa, handle complete line of these needles and other mineral rods and would be glad to correspond with any one interested in the subject.

effective central control of the distribu- tion of stamp proceeds was found imper- alive. When each agency paid Tor the printing of its own advertising matter, the small quantities meant high prices. In many instances not enough advertis- ing matter was issued and in other in- stances it's character did not prove effec- tive. The losses from unsold stamps were discouragingly heavy in some places.
 The central committee has now pre- pared rules for the government of the Christmas stamp sales in 19O9 which are intended to give the entire enterprise greater stability and uniformity through out the country and to save the selling agencies from all possible risk of loss or unnecessary expense. Where plenty of volunteer service is available, an agent for the stamps may almost or wholly avoid any local expense whatever.
 In 1908 the Red Cross sold the Christmas stamps outright to agents, and the agents provided their own advertising matter This year the Red Cross provides stamps and advertising matter free. but requires a return at the end of the season of one third of the receipts. From this one third the Red Cross will pay the ex- penses of printing stamps and advertising matter express charges. postage, clerl- cal assistance, etc. It Is estimated tnat after paying all necessary expenses the Red Cross will have a net prohf or about 15 per cent of the total sales of stamps and that the agents which sell the stamps will realize net profit on total sales or from 60 to 65 per cent. The lo per cent realized by the Red Cross will be applied to the most urgent needs of it's work whatever they may be. It has seemed 10 the officers of the organization thaf Y is but simple justice that the great werK of the Red Cross should share In some small measure in the proceeds or the sales of Christmas stamps.

Georoia Pine Doomed.

From the National Magazine.
 That the greater part of Georgia's pine Is irretrievably doomed is incontrovert- ibe But it is a doom that has been made necessary by the demand of indus try, and is to be regretted only from a point of sentimentality. Reforestation for the most part is outs of the question, and even if practical would be unwise.
 In the first place the Georgia long leafed pine has the unhappy faculty of seldom reproducing itself true to the parent tree, the second growth pine being smaller, sappier knottier and in every way an inferior tree; in the second the pine lands of Georgia have a far greater future as farms than forests It must be remem-

The Red Cross Stamp of 1909 is now in the printers hands. A new design has been adopted, selected as the result of a competition in which about twelve hun dred persons participated. The stamp x- self will be in red and dark green, with lettering in white and will be one inch square. The order already placed with the printer is for 100000 stamps and more, in any number. can be produced as rapidly as may be necessary The stamps will be ready for shipment to agents on November l. This will afford agents ample time to complete arrangements and be in readiness for the opening of vigorous selling campaign in the latter part of November or first of December.
 Experience in 1908, as was to have been expected. demonstrated the necessity of improvement in the method of conducting the stamp sale and in the expenditure of the proceeds. It was found that the ad- vance payments for stamps was in many instances hardship for agents. A more

COUNTRY DEATH
RATE FAR BELOW
THAT Of CITIES

Columbus, March 14.-The Ohio
ceived its first full monthly return.
1t is for January and the number of
death certificates received was $500.
Of these, 373 were still.births, making
the death rate for the month 1876,
estimated on the census bureau esti-
mated population for 1908, of 4,545,719.
This is q remarkable showing in the
efficiency of the department in the col
lection of statistics. Michigan has had
registration since 1897, and the bull
letins issued by the secretary of state
of that commonwealth for the same
month show the death rate there to
be 1877, estimated on the population Of
1904. The large number of deaths re-
ported in Ohio does. not signify that
more people die in Ohio than in Mich
igan, but rather indicates that this
state is more efficient than It's north
ern neighbor in the securing of these
statistics.
Indiana, which has practically the
same climatic conditions as Ohio,
shows a registration of 1913 as an av-
erage from 1901 to 1907 inclusive, and
the highest registration was 14.5,
which was for 1901. So it would seem
that Ohio outstrips that state in it's
vital statistics work.
The census bureau makes two divi-
sions of population, which are known
as urban and rural. Urban includes
all cities with population of 5000 or
over and rural everything under the
above named figure.
Ohio's urban death rate for January
was 16.5, and the death rate was as
follows in the cities given below, and
which figures include still-births and
non-residents, and are made from the
census bureaus 1908 estimated popu-
lation:
Ashtabula, 1876; Bellaire, 17.4; Can
ton, 8; Chillicothe, 22.1; Cincinnati
1911; Cleveland, 15; Columbus, 1863;
Dayton, 179; Findlay, IA; Hamilton,
2O.S; Ironton, IA; Lima, 12.4; Marietta,
lib; Massillon, 7.8; Middletown, 22.8;
Newark, 14.2; Portsmouth, IS; Tif.
I'm, 1873; Toledo, 15.9; Youngstown,
1876. Rural death rate was lis, which
includes all of the deaths outside of
cities under 5000 population.

OPINION OF POLICE
OFFICIALS DIVIDED

Rome, March 14.-Police officials to-
day are divided i'll opinion whether
the assassination of Petronino is due
to Malta or Black Hand. or whether
1t was the act of gang of interna-
tional forgers of money orders, ex-
press orders, ETC., who were caught in
Florence a month ago. Dispatches
from Palermo this evening state the
secret council of Mafia issued orders
that anyone discussing the assassina-
ton too freely will meet his fate.
Editors of Palermo papers received
instructions from the Mafia's execu-
tives that they had better not criti-
cize the detectives death and above
all must not publish any names or
hint at names. Palermo police are
stirred up by kilograms from the Ital-
ian ambassador at Washington and
have made many arrests, including
two Sicilians whom Petronino shad-
owed from New York.

Standing and singing praise God

congregation of the Dueber avenue M.
e. church watched the match applied
to the mortgage which was held
against the, church. saw 1t flame up
and quickly change to a heap of
smouldering black ashes.
Sunday was truly Debet Raising Day
at this church, the sum of $2SSO being
raised and paid in cash. The congre-
cation was required to provide this
amount to obtain a gift of $1,000 Of
fered by Mrs. Eliot, Rev. Evans and
wife.
The plan adopted was quite unique.
The sum called for in the mortgage
was divided into shares of ten dol
lars apiece making 388 in all, this less
the 100 shares promised made 28S to
be raised by the church. Part of these
shares were subscribed prior to yester-
day but large percentage were ais
posed of at the services on Sunday
and the entire $3.50 paid in cash.
After the first part of the morning
services was completed, Rev. Evans
had large blackboard brought to the
pulpit. This was divided into S88
squares representing the number of $40
shares to be raised. One hundred of
these squares were marked off. They
stood for the promised $1,000. Then
the work of marking off or rather of
collecting the money began. Tellers
or collectors were appointed who went
among those present, brought the
names and the money to the treasur-
er. The shares which had been pre-
viously promised were marked off
first. Those included fifty shares from
the Ladies' Aid society, eight shares
from the Sunday school, and from
many other sources.
Then the real work began, some
only contributing half share, some
one dollar andrsthe spaces began to
be filled with the chalk marks. Some
times the work Jagged but finally all
but fourteen shares were marked off,
which remained for the evening SER
vice.
At the evening service the remain
ing shares were raised in short order,
the pulpit cleared and the members
of the Ladies' Aid society, who mad
done so much toward making the pay
ing off of the debt possible, were in
vited to come forward and assist at
the burning of the mortgage. After
they had assembled a tray was hand
ed to the president of the society, Mrs.
Goodyear, and to John Hursh, then
the pastor invited the congregation to
stand. Lighting a match, Mrs Good
year touched the paper which had
been burden to the members. Then
as the paper famed up the congrega-
tion sang the doxology, Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow"
With the congregation still stand

SCORES GRAET tina GREENS
FOR MANY GIRLS RUIN
Superintendent of State institution
Declares EIopements are White
SIaVery's FaVcrte Recruit
ing Device.

Chicago, March 14.-"Summer re-
sorts and excursion centers which
are we'll advertised as Graetna
Greens and as places where the usual
legal and official formalities prelim-
mary to respectable marriage are re-
duced to a minimum are star recruit
ing stations for the white slave
traffic." is the declaration of Mrs.
Ophella M. Amigh, superintendent of
the Illinois State Training School for
Girls, who speaks with the authority
of one who for years has dealt with
the effects Of white slavery, in fact
has sent twelve white slavers to
prison. In an article written for the
Woman's World of Chicago in it's
campaign for the suppression of the
traffic in daughters of American
homes Mrs. Amigh denounces the
graetna greens and runaway mar
Tiages, giving, from her experience, a
startling explanation. II earnestly
urge all mothers never to allow a
daughter to 60 to one of these places
on an excursion, or under any pre-
text whatever, unless accompanied
by some older member of the family"
she says, "and even then there is
mating In the very atmosphere of
such place.
do you thing overstate the perils
of places of this kind? OF these gay
excursion centeTs, these American
Graetna Greens? / hesitate to say
how many girls have under my care
who were enticed into a runaway
marriage" at these places-and when
promptly sold into white slavery by
the men whom they had married, the
men who married them for no other
purpose than to sell them to the
houses of the red light district and
live in luxury from the proceeds of
their shame.
Let every mother teach her
daughter that the man who proposes
an elopement, runaway marriage,
is not to be trusted for an instant
and puts himself under suspicion OF
being that most loathsome Of all
things in human form--a white slave
trader"
Mrs. Anigh mentions some of the
innumerable cases which come under
