A Correction.

A statement has been made by some
one who is not informed, that the Ma
tionaI Congress of Mothers is commit
ted to womans suffrage.
It is a great misfortune of ours
(women) that we will speak before
we think-sometimes before we know.
This is an altogether erroneous impress
sion concerning the Congress, and
serious injustice to the real principles
the Congress of Mothers is advocating.
The work of the Congress is solely
for the welfare of the child and for
the education of the parent. Suffrage
has nothing to do with these matters.
The influence of the Congress is
greater without suffrage than with it.
Woman has not yet filled to the high
est degree the place that is open to
her, and the world suffers because of
it, The care of children in the home,
in the school and in the state is wo-
mans special work If she does this
thoroughly she will have little time for
other things. Men and women we're
created equal, but were given alto
gether different spheres in life. 1t
would be fatal to the Congress of
Mothers for suffrage to be made an
issue. We make the emphatic state
ment that there no connection be-
tween the two bodies.
Let those who wish to labor for that
organization join the Suffrage Asso-
citation. But We believe the National
Congress of others is striving to ac-
complish a work that, for women, is
nobler and higher than the advance
ment of any political party or princi-
pie.

throughout the Canadian north. OF
course, our people will have to catch
these animals and train them, but to
people who are building an empire
that is trifling matter.
"The most active advocate of using
reindeer or caribou in the develop
ment of northern Canada is Fred s.
Lawrence, who lives at Fort Vermil-
on, on the lower Peace River. He
has made his home in the north for
twenty-five years. He suggests that
a start might be made toward domes-
ticating Canadian reindeer by Undue
mig Laplanders to emigrate to Canada.
The Laplanders, by reason of their
pastures becoming crowded, owing to
the great number of their reindeer,
are looking for some part of the world
to which they can transport their
herds and families and establish
themselves anew. The reindeer is
fleeter and can be more easily kept
than a horse. A prospector could
maintain himself for a year with ten
head of reindeer. If his provisions
gave out he could eat the reindeer"

ARE MAKING THE

OTTAWA, Canada, April 27-"The
success which has followed the intro
duction of reindeer in Alaska has
aroused attention in Canada, and the
suggestion has been made that the
reindeer VIII settle one of the prob

the Canadian northland," said Albert

they could live just as happily and
usefully in Alaska as in their hons
land. Some $4,000 are now in Alaska
and they are more than earning their
keep. Canada need not go to the
trouble of importing reindeer. She
has herds of reindeer all ready up in
the northern regions. All that is
needed is TO train them, for they are
very wild.

Surprising What
KOdOl Will Do
For you when you need it. But the longer you neglect
Indigestion the more you will suffer.

And, of course, indigestion if neg.
lected long enough, brings on seri-
GUS diseases in which Kodol cannot
benefit you. Some of these there is
no help for at all. There are, in
fact, very few ailments which can
not be traced directly to impure
blood. And impure blood is always
due to a disordered stomach. Use
Kodol and prevent Nervous Dys-
pepsia. Kodol will effectually assist
Nature to secure complete restor-
alton of good digestion. 1t does this
by at once digesting all food in the
stomach and keeping it digested,
until the stomach is rested and can

NORTHERN BAPTISTS
RECEIVE Sl,5OO,OOO
WORK ACCOMPLISHED IN 1o|
MONTHS ENDING APRIL is.
Contributions Increase 100000 For
Year and With Leeacies Free Mis-
sionary Societies From Debt.

BOSTON, April PA million and a
half of dollars has been raised among
the Baptist churches of the country
and through legacies since last June,
SO that the three great missionary So
cieties Of northern Baptists are now
free from debt.
This announcement, made at the
headquarters of the American Bap-
fist Missionary Union, is regarded as
marking the greatest advance step in
the missionary work of the Baptist de-
nomination OF the northern states. The
contributions OF the year show an in
crease OF over 100000 to the work of
home and foreign missions, and an i'm
mense increase in special gifts and
leSacies insures the wiping out OF the
debts of the three great missionary
societies and providing sufficient
funds to meet all expenses Tor the
year.
The societies involved are the Amer
can Baptist Missionary Union for For
eign Missions, with headquarters in
Boston; the American Baptist Home
Mission Society, with headquarters
in New York and the American Bap-
fist Publication Society, with head
quarters in Philadelphia.
The Rev. Fred P. Haggard of Bos-
ton, secretary of a special committee
which was appointed at the meeting
of the northern Baptist convention in
Oklahoma last June to raise the mil
lion and a half for the three societies
gave out the following statement last

Story of the Effort

"The financial year of the three
great missionary societies of north
ern Baptists closed April 10. Reports
indicate that the greatest advance
in the history of the denomination
has been made. The societies began
the year with debts aggregating $780,
900.
cat the meeting of the northern
Baptist convention held at Oklahoma
last June, it was decided to ask the
churches for $1,5OO,OOO. The amount
was apportioned to states and individ
ual churches. This was a new step
for Baptists, for up to that time it had
not been possible to make apportion-
ments and each society had acted in
dependently of the others.
"Never was a more spirited cam,
paign conducted. 1t was in charge Of
a special committee, of which Dr.
Fred Haggard of Boston was the sec
rotary. During the closing three

unprecedented increase in legacies
