SCHIvELY CORRUPT
AND UNWORTHY

OLYMPIA. June 25.-The report of

in many cases the larger amount. in
some cases $3.50, in a few cases $135,
and that in no case cid he transmit

of said collections. That he had no
legal authority to collect any such

That it is impossible accurately to

that the fees SO collected will aggre-

How to Care for the Child.

Perplexed mother writes: My child
has sneezing fits after the morning
sponge bath. What would you ad-

babies hypodermic of morphine for
sneezing. But we have always felt
that this was too harsh a remedy.
Give the baby about three tablespoon

and a pinch of lemon peel. The sugar
makes this remedy more grateful to

common delusion among untEink-

work. They have vague notion that
the missionary has only to appear in
the midst of the heather for tho latter
to welcome him with open arms and
to give glad hearing to his message.
On the contrary, missions Is the most
difficult enterprise imaginable. HUI
manly speaking, it is impossible
There is not enough power in man to
convert other men to new religion.
The best political brains of the coun-
try find it difficult to change mems
thought upon political questions. How
much harder, then, to effect radical
transformation in their spiritual ma
lures? Somebody has we'll called this

the Intervention and assistance of a

The missionary is a finger-board OF

day survey of the worlds religious
conditions reveals the significant
truth that of these FIVE great religions
all but the first have relinquished the
dream Of universal dominion. Even
Mohammedanism no longer expects to
conquer the world In truth, these
four faiths are not holding their own.
Powerful forces of disintegration are
at work in their midst. II is not I'M
common to call them dead and dying
religionss But Christianity was never
so yirorous, never SO confident and
never so conquering as today. Relying
for its power upon the intelligent faith
OF its adherents, rather than upon the
might of monarchies or ecclesiastical
machinery, the religion of Jesus is

Two Women Secure Hunters License

Two Women Secure Hunters Licenses
Davenport, Sept. lS.-Two women in
Davenport evidently appreciate the
fascination OF a gun and can sym
pathize with the men when the game
season lurkes them away from their
office desks to the woods or the fields
where the chickens fly.
The woman who has the honor Of
being the first of her sex in Scott
county, to ever take out license to
hunt game is Mrs. Ora B. Wissler.
The second woman to secure such a
permit in Scott county is Mrs. Muriel
Bradt, wife of the manager Of the
Independent Telephone and Telegraph
company.
