 Mrs. Angeline Baldwin, who has been seriously i'll for some weeks is somewhat better. Her daughter, Mrs Angie Yonge. has been with her most of the time and Dr. Converse has been in attendance. The first cause of her illness was a fall. from which she received an injury to her head. It was at first thought that the excruciating pain proceeded from her teeth, but their extraction failed to give relief. She has borne her severe suffering with patience and is now resting more quietly. Mrs. Baldwin is long time resident, much respected, and has the sympathy of her many friends, who hope that she will soon be able to see them once more. That Mrs. Baldwin was so seriously i'll has not been generally known until recently. and the failure to make mention of 1t in this column was not for want of interest but for lack of knowledge

That's the Way to Pronounce HyOmei
 the MOney-Back Catarrh Cure.


 the MOney-Back Catarrh Cure.
 As doubt exists in the minds of many readers of The Press let us say that the above is the proper pronounoi- Ation of AmerioA's most wonderful catarrh cure. Anders Jacobsen Is the agent for Hyomei in Stafford, and he will sell you an inhaler, bottle of Hyomei, and full instructions for use, for only $1.OO. And if it fails to cure acute or chronic Oatarrh, asthma, bronchitis, croup. hay fever or coughs and colds, he will give you your money back. The person who suffers from catarrh after such an offer as that. must like to snuffie. spit and wheeze, and be generally dis gusting.
 Read what Mr. G. F. Lowe says:
 "I have used Hyomei for a case of nasal catarrh which had bothered me for a long time. can say that Hyomei killed the germs of the disease and gave me the much sought and needed relief. From this ex- perience know Hyomei to be 8 reli- able remedy, and give 1t the praise and recommendation that it de- serves. '-G. F. Lowe, R. F. D. No. 7, Allegan, Mich., September 19, 1908.

books and pamphlets treating of the weird and
dangerous cult and the Banner of Light" Bos-
ton, the "Herad of Progress" New York, were
founded to propagate its principles.
The example of demoniacal obsession cited by
the Desert News is but one of thousands which
happened in those days in our country. Nor have
any doubt that by the name of Jesus Christ,
our Lord and Master, the evil spirit was expelled
even though Joseph Smith was the agent, St.
Mark the decple and contemporary of our Blessed
Lord records case, almost identically. the same
which happened at Capharnaum: "John answered
him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out
devils in thy name, who followeth not us: and we
forbade him."
But Jesus said: "Do not forbid him, for there
is no man that doeth miracle in my name that
can speak i'll of mex. 81
But, it may be said, that God approved of the
teachings of Joseph Smith, since he gave him
power over demons. The exorcism, or the expuI-
sion of the evil spirit derived its effect from the
name Of Jesus Christ and not from any grace in
herent in the Mormon prophet 1t does not follow
that because God endorses particular truth held
and preached by particular man that he is pleased
with the himself or approves of the errors the
man holds and breaches. We have a striking eX-
ample of this from St. Mathews who records the
exact words of our Divine Lord bearing upon this
subject.
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord.
shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he
that doeth the will of my father, who is in heaven
he shall enter in the kingdom of heaven.
Many will say to me on that day: Lord, Lord

ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA.

1t is not as some good people imagine, always
often possible to detect liar by the expression
of his face while he lies, or when he is accused
When the rural schoolmaster, rod in hand, cries
out "Who stuck that pin in my chair!" and peers
around the benches with an irate and eagle eye,
the boy who bushes and looks conscious of guilt
is just as likely to be the villanous urchin as the
monster who arranged the pin for the masters
punishment.
Among older people the confirmed habit of ly-
ing is apt to accompany an experienced command
of the facial muscles, which enables the liar to
wear bland and innocent look. A liar that has
dramatic talent can assume look that would de-
ceive the very elect. The bigger the lie, the more
guileess he appears the more horrible the accusa-
ton, the greater his surprise that he should be
even so much as suspected.

FORT TICONDER0GA.

Among the things brought out by the ter-cen-
tenary celebration of the discovery of Lake Cham
plain is the effort to restore the old Fort Iicon-
deroga which, if it succeeds, will add much to the
attractiveness of the lake which bears the of
the immortal French Catholic, Samuel de Cham
plain The fort itself is notable in American his
tory because of the escapade of Ethan Allen and
his "Green Mountain Boys" who surprised the
fort and captured it on May TO- 1775, few days
after the battles of Concord and Lexington, and
more than year before the Declaration of indie
pendence was given to the world. But long be-
fore this historical event the site of the fort
the scene of many sanguinary encounters. 1t is
generally believed that Champlain had his first
battle with the Iroquois the site of the fort 1t
was on July 4, 1902 that Champlain with his In
dian allies of the Huron and Algonquin tribes, en-
tered the lake by way of the Richelieu river They
followed the west side of the lake to the cape
which projects into the lake." which is taken to
mean the site of the fort where battle fought.
In 1856 the place was fortified by the French,
and from that time to the end of the revolution the
place occupies important place in history. 1t
was the scene of battles in the French and Indian
wars and was a rendezvous for Montcalm and other
famous Frenchmen. Two years after the capture
of the fort by Ethan Allen, the place was aban-
doned to the English under Burgoyne. 1t was also
the scene of some of the activities of Benedict Ar
mold.
The restoration of "Old IT, as the fort is af-
fectionatey called by the natives will be well
worth the effort, as around no spot are clustered
more memories of the early struggles of the pio-
neers to establish civilization and of the Revo-
lutonary patriots to establish free and independ-
ent government on the western hemisphere.

THE SANE FOURTH.

a striking contrast is presented by the Washing
ton Star in its report of the celebration of the
tional holiday, compared as to the number of acct
dents with the same day last year. The contrast
is made in tabular form, showing the number of
persons treated at the eight hospitals in Washing
ton for injuries from explosives. On July 4, 1908,
there were 1O4 cases treated on July 5, 1909 there
was total of 0. That is pretty good record for
the first year under the "safe and sane" rule. Taken
in comparison with the record in New York, it
is really noteworthy. Five we're killed in New York

injured by cannons and injured by torpedoes. In
addition New York had 116 fires started from fire.
works; Washington only two fires, and but one of
these the result of the celebration of the Fourth.
There has been much talk about a sane and
safe Fourth but while other cities talked. Wash
ington put the idea into force. The authorities
there simply announced that the law forbidding
the burning of powder within the city limits would
be enforced and the whole populace obeyed 1t must
not be assumed, however, that because there was
promscuous use of fireworks the day lost any of its
significance. Indeed, the patriotic aspect of the
cason was augmented rather than lessened.
Arrangements were made whereby the staid old
people were permitted to assemble and listen to
patriotic addresses, the sporty element viewed an
automobile parade and the children suitably
entertained with daylight fireworks under the
pervision of the city authorities. The day was
closed with exceptional display of fireworks and
the illumination of Pennsylvania avenue.
According to the Star, it is doubtful if Wash
ington will ever return to the old custom of cele-
brating the day. What Washington has DONE other
cities do. The example set is worthy of copy
ing. Senseless noise making is not patriotism; it
adds nothing to patriotic observances, and it costs
an awful sum in life and suffering and fire losses.
1t would be well to follow Washington's example.

Although the scenes about the lake are note
worthy chiefly because of the military events
which took place there, the English and French
ambassadors and the president dwelt largely upon
peace in their addresses. Ambassador Jusserand
was especially felicitous in his remarks calling
attention to the fact that, though England and

Judge once said to us in the hearing of two or
