WAY TO BECOME

Washington, July 15.--Wouldst be a

desire, the way to fulfill it is to par.
take OF medicated soft" drinks at the
seductive soda counter. snuffle "ca-
tarrh powder" into the nostrils, or
take a so-called tobacco cure" Near.
ly all OF such preparations will lead
to the dope" habit, according to
scientists of the department OF agricuf
ture. Here is the departments list
OF "donts:"
If you are thirsty, beware OF mcdi-
Gated soft drinks.
If you have a baby in your house
don't give it soothing syrup"
II you want to get out of the tobac-

If you catch cold, have the hay fe-

don't take patent medicines to head it
of.
: II you do any of these apparently
harmless things you may get the

The warning hahs been given by the
department in remarkable pamphlet
Just issued to fight shy" of all patent

course. but the expert chemists of the
department declare that "as a rule"

|NvENTS NEW
FLYING GRAF 7
Man in Richmond Jail Has
Plans for Machine
of Decided De-
parture.

Richmond. July l5.--An air craft.
which he calls the "aerodirigible," !"
and which he claims combines the
best and most practica! principles of
the aeroplane and the dirigible, has
been invented by William l.. West
hedge, OF Suffolk, Va, now prisoner
In the city Jail here, serving a term
OF one year. Westnedge has made
flying machines study for many
years past and has now completed a
model, along with blue print plans,
which he claims will revolutionize the
aeronautic world, provided he can get
the capital TO put the machine
through. The model resembles the
famous Zeppelin dirigible in many
respects, but many aeroplane princi.
pies are used in its construction.
Westnedge says his machine. com.
plete. will measure $50 feet in length
and will make an average speed OF
~ miles per hour. He estimates that
$4,000 will be required to build the
craft. He says one OF it's chief ad.
vantages over present machines will
consist in a secret discovery he has
made regarding lifting capacity. West
nedge was sent to Jail some time ago
on a trivial charge, after pleading
inability to put up 500 to keep the
peace for one year. He is of quiet
industrious nature and has won the
confidence of the jail authorities, who
extend to him the privileges OF a
'trusty." His model and blue prints
have been made up In Jail and show
the handiwork of a master hand. 1t
is. said that a famous American aero,
naut is soon to look over the plans
and give an opinion as to their worth.

Notable Gathering in Maryland's
Chief City

Within the gates of Baltimore is a

than ons-third the entire church

side OF the Mississippi River Bap.
lists have more than As per cent. of
the entire church membership in the
Southern States, according to the
latest religious bulletin of the Census

Among the 1000 delegates in
Baltimore attending the convention
this week are leading ministers.
LAYERS, bankers, manufacturers. edu-
Gators, scientists, farmers and re-
representatives. OF every other class Of
citizens who contribute to the we'll

denomination, however, has it's chief
hold upon the common people. There
is hardly cotton mill village ia the
South thst has not one or more Bap-
tlst churches, scarcely a rural COM
munity without it's Baptist meeting
house, and the oew towns in the
West are provided for by the Bau-
list Home Mission Board.
Baptists have no creed, the Bible
being their only rule OF faith and
practice, and they insist upon the
right Of each individual to interpret
the Scriptures for himself. Hence
the Southern Baptist Convention is
never disturbed by cases Of heresy
nor divided into factions upon anv
question of procedure. Only upon
such matters as they regard as fun
damental to Christian faith and OF
which there is no question among
them, must there be unity of belief
aod they can thus work together in
perfect harmony in evanPelizisp the
world. When one or any number
OF churches decides to discontinue
me cooperative work of the copvap-
ton there is and can be no effort
made by the others to coerce or re-
quire further fellowship. To manv
onlookers there appears to be no real
bond Of union among Baptists. but
to them the bond is powerful-unitv
