SHADE TREES PRESERVE ROADS An Enthusiast Protests Against Action
 of Authorities in Removing Them

A Writer in the Manchester Union.
 Perhaps no other agency" he says "has contributed so much to the desola- ton of naturally beautiful districts in New Englapd as what Is in up-country parlance called the see-lectman. He is big man in his town and with his brothers on the board controls the finances, schools, roads and all matters of town government and improvement
 His one great achievement while in office is to cut down all the shade trees or whatever might grow to be shade trees along the roads. He as a rule knows nothing of road building, and be- lieving that the only way to get rid of water is to dry 1t up, instead of con structing his road of material other than garden loam, crowning it to shed water

 This does not mean a formal split In the denomination, as the complete inde- pendenee of Baptist congregations makes this unnecessary.
 Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman and Charles M. Alexander have returned with their wives from abroad and gone to Chicago to be- gin the greatest campaign they have ever conducted in this country.
 Dr. Chapman spoke before his depart ure at the anniversary services of the Fourth Presbyterian church of this city of which he was formerly pastor.
 Through the Laymen's Evangelstic council the cooperation of over 400 city and suburban Protestant churches has been secured for the meetings, which will continue for six weeks.
 Drs Chapman and Alexander will be assisted by some 50 evangelistic singers.
 Chicagos amusement park, the White City, has been secured for the meetings, and Dr. Chapman will speak in the big ballroom every day, and night for two weeks. The room seats 5000, with choir platform holding nearly another thou sand.

Dencon,s Parable

From the Housekeeper
 A self-conscious and egotistical young clergyman was supplying the pulpit of a country church. After the services he asked one of the deacons, a grizzled, plain spoken man, what he thought of his mornings effort.
 ''Waal.". answered the old man, slowly. 'Ill tell you in kind of parable. I remember Funk Weatherbee's first deer hunt. when he was green. He followed the deer's tracks all right, but he follered em all day in the wrong direction.''

Two tabernacles are being erected on the north side, and meetings will be held in a tabernacle now being erected on the west side.
 In addition Dr. Chapman will hold monday meetings in the Chicago Opera house and probably other meetings at various points.
 It is estimated that the cooperating churches represent 100000 members.
 On several conference days ministers of Illinois and adjoining states will at tend. Prominent religious workers will speak on these days among others Com mander Eva Booth of the Salvation Army.
 While abroad Dr. Chapman and MT. Alexander held conferences in Oldham and Chesterham, England; Dundee, Scotland; Cardiff, Newport and Ipswich, Wales. ls
 At the close of the Chicago campaign Dr. Chapman and party will conduct meetings in Fort Wayne, Ind, and in January will go to Toronto, Canada.
 That Spain and Portugal are ripe for the advent of the Methodist missionaries that the Congregational church will turn over to those countries at a number of important centers and that the Spanish, so far from being at enmity with Amer jeans as result of the recent war, ex- pect our missionaries to come and teach them Amerieanism, was the burden of reports made to the Methodist board of foreign missions in this city. Dr. W. |. Haven and Dr. Frank Mason North, who visited Spain during the summer to in- vestigate conditions, joined in a report which favored the immediate formula tion of plans for evangelsing Spain, to be undertaken when necessary funds are available.

vid and attractive way of reaching

in all seriousness. don't churches give
US the thri ling stories Of the Old Tes-
lament. its beautiful tales of the New
Testament and its modern illustration

they cannot get hold of the films and
the machine, but this answer is not
a good answer. Excellent sacred pic

sacrifice and virtue are in every pro-
gram. Moreover. a demand for films
for church use would enlarge the sup
ply. Moving picture machines are not
expensive and can be easily operated.

ARTISTS PRAISE OBERAOFFER.

Ii is a singular fact, yet Reverthe-
less a true one, that some OF the best
500 players on the piano are abso-
lutely incapable Of accompanying other
artists-either instrumentalists or vo-
c~alists. Likewise some famous or
chestral conductors fall short of the
mark, thus ~hampering soloists of real
temperament to a considerable de-
gree, and thereby reducing the en-
semble effect so necessary in a per-
Torrance if it is to afford enjoyment
10 those who listen.
Probably there is no artist who has
sung or played with the Minneapolis
symphony orchestra, of which Emil
Oberhoffer is conductor, but who has
gone away with a grateful remem-
berance of the superb accomplishments
which have become famous under Mr..
Oberhoffer's direction. Nine. Mar
celia Sembrich, queen of song, after
her appearance with the orchestra
said: Seldom in my travels have
l met so thorough a musician and so
gifted conductor" The erratic, albeit
poetic De Pachmann, after his play
ing Of the ethereal Chopin concerto,
most effusively Rugged Mr.. Oberhoffer,
exclaiming: "Ah! But you have the
soul of Chopin" Nine. Carreno said:

lin Tschaikowsky's piano %concerto).
Maud Powell, the greatest woman
violinist in the world said that Mr..
Oberhoffer has the divine spark
that he is a conductor by the grace
of God. A dozen others Of the worlds
greatest artists have spoken and writ
ten about Mr.. Oberhoffer in similar
vein and have proclaimed abroad the
high character of the orchestra and
its conductor.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES.
Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Com
mon Aches and Ills of Brookings
People.

AS one weak link weakens a chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking
down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess of uric
poisoning circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come, and there is an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Bright's disease. There is
no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney i'll.
No need to take the statement of
someone living far away as evidence.
Here's a case right in this locality.
William Cleveland, carpenter, of Mil
bank, N. Oak, says: Il first learned
Of Doan's Kidney Pills about seven
years ago, while working in Mime
sofa. At that time I was suffering a
great deal from kidney disease and at
times could scarcely attend to my work.
There were sharp pains through my
loins and l had a weakness in my
back. A fellow workman told me Of
Doan's Kidney Pills and 1 began using
them. They gave me prompt relief
and at length effected a cure. Some
time ago I had an attack Of rheuma-
tism, causing a stiffness In my
muscles and joints. I again took
Doan's Kidney Pills and the
result was just as satisfactory as
before. I am in better health today
than l have been in twenty years and
owe it all to Doan's Kidney Pills"

CAN TEACHER SPANK A PUPIL?

A Washington dispatch says that
Miss Agnes Kelley, who was a school
teacher in Tolono, Champaign county,
Illinois, has brought before the SUI
preme court of the United States, the
question of corporal punishment of
school children. Never before has the
court been confronted with such a
question.
If the court gives its approval to
this method of discipline, the woman
will escape from q school squabble
with only being declared a bankrupt.
If the court rules against corporal
punishment, she will probably have to
go to Jail for fogging a pupil.
In 1906, Miss Kelley was teaching
in a primary school at Tolono. Ac-
cording to- her brief, Michael Burke
aged II years, committed a breach Of
proper decorum by using indecent,
vulgar and profane language at and
toward your petitioner and jerking
her upon the floor and while in that
position striking and kicking your pc
titioner.
She says she took the boy to the
principal and the lad said he was not
sorry and. that he would not promise
to be good.
Then after the principal ordered her
to chastise Michael. she flogged him.
Burke brought suit for damages, the
state courts rendering judgment
against her.
After judgment Miss Kelley was de-
clared a bankrupt. On the ground
that the national bankrui t law does
not discharge a person from payment
of debt incurred through the commit
tgni Of "willful and malicious injuries
to the person OF property Of another"
Miss Kelley was arrested under the
Illinois statute for failure to satisfy
the judgment. She went to the federal
court for a discharge.
The district court Of the United
States for the eastern district OF Illi-
nofs tdmitted her testimony to show
that the debt was not incurred
through willful injuries and the court
found 1t so. Such procedure did not
meet with the approval OF the circuit
court OF appeals. and the judgment
was reversed.
She now asks the supreme court Of
the United States to review the case.

MOVING PICTURES IN THE

day night in Chicago one-sixth of the
entire population is packed into four
hundred and sixty-six places of enter
tainment," says the Woman's Home
Companion for May. Churches? No
picture shows! The church.
es on Sunday night In Chicago, and,
We fear. in many other places, are
not conspiciously crowded. The prob.
lem is this: II the Chicago churches
had presented an up-to-date moving
picture show, instead Of a sermon,
would the crowd have followed the
films? Inasmuch as the church admis-
sion Is free and the theatre admission
