CYNTHIA GPEYS
LETTERS

Three girls, Mercedes" Evelyn" and
Priscilla" have written me a letter ask
ing me all kinds of questions.
First is this one-hdw can one make a
big nose small? I'm sure l don't know.
I don't believe it can be done.
Next, they ask for a good remedy for
pimples and blackheads, which they have
probably seen by this time in our coll
umn.
And they also want to know how one
can tell when one is in love. Elizabeth
Barrett Browning answers that question
in one of her poems:
UNLESS you can muse in a crowd all day
On the absent face that fixed you;
Unless you can love as the angels may,
With the breadth of heaven betwixt
you
Oh, never call 1t loving"
What are the new fall colors, and will
the new faddy dresses be worn this win
ter?" is the next question. The amethyst
shades are the most popular. Rose and
different shades of green are also very
good. Yes, the "faddy" dresses are still
in style, If you mean the one-piece
dresses, but they are not so extreme.
Your delicate colored wash dresses
should be dipped in salt water and vim
egar solution, equal parts. before being
washed. Then they will not fade.

ing, a conclusion that led to many very
noted controversies in the form of re-
ligious debate. 1t was during these de-
bates that Campbell learned the power or
the press, and he was always ready TO
make use of it thereafter. His debate
with Price at Lexington, KY, in 1912, at
which Henry Clay was president of the
board of five moderators, was one of the
most remarkable religious discussions In
history.

in the religious world.
President Garfield was a member Of
the denomination, and was at one time
president of one of its colleges. Before
he was elected president of the United
States the. church in Washington was
struggling body, sometimes meeting In
rented halls, sometimes in private houses,
and at one time in a house on wheels.
Then ii became necessary to get proper
place to worship, and that resulted in the
building of the first church in the cap
ital city. Garfield took the deepest In
terest in the program. and asked that 1t
be an understood rather than an over
sized ediice, and that it should be un-
adorned and as plain as possible. Be
fore Garfield came, Judge Jere Black, of
Pennsylvania, was one of the regular at
tendants. One day his whiteheaded negro
coachman, jealous of the honor of the
family. and impressed with the danger
that threatened that honor by the car
risgs of the family standing in front of
little hall during divine services, re-
minded his master that it was mighty
insignificant place for big folks to go,
and that he would like to drive his team
down among those of the Presbyterians
during the service. The request was &C
coded to- and Uncle Joe died thinking
he had saved the social and religious rep
utation of the Black family.
Many were the overtures that the dis
ciples mace toward other churches look
ing to union. But they all ended as did
the ont made by the Protestant Episcopal
church in 1886. That looked for unity, and
the Disciples received the overtures. The
representatives of the two churches met
after preliminary proceedings. Each sub
roitted q dissertation Of itself, and laid
down bases which they declared "incapa-
bic of compromise or surrender" Neither
would be content with much less than
the absorption of the other. Nothing came
of it.
The people who constitute the church
of the Disciples of Christ are strong be-
levers in church literature. and they sup
port more UNCONVENTIONAL weekly papers
than any other church of its numbers.
About 30 periodicals. most of them week
lies. are published by the church Their
ablest writers contribute to the most of
them, and one of the secrets of the won
derful growth of the church has been its
prolific current literature.
The Disciples also have a deep and
abiding interest in education. Starting
with the founding of Bethany college by
Alexander Campbell. the movement for
the education of the ministers as we'll
as of the laity has gone forward by leaps
and bounds until today the Disciples
have some schools that compare with the
best in the land. Garfield was one of it's
earlier college presidents and his services
at Hiram college are still remembered
by those who saw him rise from bell
ringer to college president. and go from
there via the congressional route to the
presidency of the United States.

ANOTHER FORM OF PROHIBITION.

There is another form OF prohibition
alone. but throughout the United
States Opium imports are to be in
bibited. An investigation was made
hy the government with the result
that 1t is shown that while there
practically has been no increase OF
our Chinese population since the
early eighties, it has been found that
steady increase has occurred In i'm
portations OF smoking opium. Inquiry
among Chinese. moreover, indicates
that they smoke less opium today than
twenty years ago. A similar inquiry
among the police. prison physicians
and others brings out the alarming
discovery that the perniciouS habit
has spread to our own American pop
ulation, and 10 negroes especially, al
though among the whites 1t is large
ly confined 10 the criminal and other
aDnormal classes,
A high authority stated that $4,000
pounds OF crude opium and the NOR
phine derived therefrom would salts
fy the legitimate annual demand. Not
wlthstanding this fact more than 40O,-
600 pounds were imported into the
United States last year, while statis-
tics prove that the use OF opium and
It's derivatives has increased 100 per
cent in New England during the last
10 years, and $50 per cent In the pro
hibition' state of Maine.
Only yesterday two women were ar
rested in Ogden for smoking opium.
This evil is growing in this country
and should be stopped.
