State Exhibit Is
Fighting White Plague

and in every town people crowded
to learn how to prevent disease.
II have found on my trip" said
Dr.. Emley today, that the health
Of the people of Kansas is better
than ever before. Typhoid fever is
still prevalent. There is q reason
for this. In many towns, in order
to get rid of the fever the people
have installed waterworks. That put
their old wells and clsterns out of
commission and the people often turn
them into cess pools. The fever spread
from these pools.
"The reason there Is SO much
tuberculosis in Kansas is that the
state is being advertised in the medi-
cal journals and periodicals as having
a climate favorable to the cure Of
consumption. Many consumptives
are coming to the western and the
north central counties 10 be cured
by the climate. The spread Of the
disease from those people must be
guarded against"
Or. Emley thinks that the law
against public drinking cups Is be-
coming less unpopular. 1.-THE arsu-
ments Of DR.. Crumbine against the
public cups are striking hOne and
the people are realizing what q
menace to health the cups are. Florl-
da, New Jersey, North Dakota, Mich
igan, California and Mississippi have
all adopted the Kansas law, and the
continent Of Europe is beginning to
wake up to the fact that the cups
are source of contagion.
"In small towns there Is much
danger from tuberculosis meats. The
small butchers do their own killing
and there Is no government inspec-
tion. Often cows afflicted with tu-
berculosis are put on the market. The
packing house meat is safer to USE"

Elder j. N. Engle writes as fol
lows from South Africa concerning
wedding ceremony at which he Off
ciated, the bride being Miss AIDA
EngIe, a sister of Mrs. Lizzie Zook
Of Abilene:
Thursday, November 4, 1909 was
a notable day at Macha Mission In
that it witnessed the marriage Of Bro.
Taylor and Sister AIDA Engle. Prep
arations for the occasion were being
made in the few days previous; an
OK was slaughtered and other sup
plies prepared for feast for the
natives. The Sunday previous the
announcement was made Of the in
tended occasion. On the day appoint
ed the natives of all ages, sizes and
descriptions, arrayed in their Sun
day best, began to gather in good
time, and by IL o'clock, the hour ap-
pointed for the ceremony, there were
over three hundred present. The
service was held on the veranda OF
TIE new dwelling house as the church
was much too small. A large canvas
was put up in front Of the veranda
to help shade the congregation. Under
this and on the veranda the crowd
was seated, not on chairs and benches
bnt on the ground. Sister Davidson
with the school boys sang a hymn
after which we had prayer. Bro.
Steigerwald then spoke to the people
through an interpreter on the subject
Of marriage and pointed out the diff
ference between their customs and
that Of the Christians; also upon the
duties Of husband and wife toward
each other, giving the bible fof our
authority, not knowing from whence
they get theirs.
Several portions of Scripture were
then read with SINE comments, after
which the ceremony was solemnized
in the presence of about three hum
dred and sixty all told. After the
OOnsratplatIon of the works, tAeI
ooys staying at the MissiCA III BaSsedi
,sly in single file, shaking hands with
'ihe newly married pair, during which
time they Gang q few verses (" Eng
lish, which Sister davidson had
taught them for the occasion. Then
followed the greeting of the crowd
by a harmonious clapping of the
hands.
Soon the congregation dispersed,
and the crowd was gathered in groups
under the shade Of the trees and
around the huts- seated on the ground
to be served with the wedding dinner.
The serving was, conducted by Nah
lalanbi and Como, assisted by the
boys of the Mission. When every
thing was ready order was called and
a short prayer offered by the first
named whs is the teacher of the
school and is originally one Of the
Matoppa Mission boys.
After the meal was eaten (which
was not with knife, fork and spoon
but with native appliance, the hand
arrangements were made to have the
head men, Of the kraals represented,
gather under the canvas to have Bro.
stelgerwald give them a talk, which
he did especially pointing out to them

i their responsibilities toward the mis-
sionaries who have come to them
sent of God, with nothing else In
view but to do them good. He also
pointed out to them their duties with
referenct to their children being sent
to school, showing clearly that a
Christian education was for their
uplifting; not only as individuals but
also as a people. They mostly all
seemed to listen very attentively, and
we believe good impressions were
made. After the address to them
was over Bro. TAYLOR presented each
of them thirty In alD with cup
OF salt. While this talk was going
on the Mission boys we're served with
their dinner, and aside from their
regular meal each was given a cup
of tea. some bread and piece of
cake.
At about 8 o'clock the dinner for
the workers and the bridal pair was
ready, which was much more after
home custom than the one just de-
scribed. Lest we become too lengthy
with this histor we will now end
wishing the rich blessing of God upon
the labours and impressions of the
day; and especially heavens smiling
approval upon the bridal pair, that
their lives as missionaries may prove
a blessing, not only t, each other
but also to this people among whom
they labor who so much need the
Gospel and its refining and uplifting
influence.
May l be permitted to state, that
as it was the wish Of those married,
that l should officiate on the occa-
sion, it was legally arranged for, an6
carried out.
At the close of the services Sister
Davidson, who expects to go south for
some months for a much needed rest,
and change. gave a farewell address

in accord with His righteous will.

It occurred that it might be well to
recall the causes that superinduced

Since Tuesdays election it has de-
veIoped that Victor L Berger. who is
the most prominent Socialist in the
United States, does not owe his election
to the growth Of the red-fag sentiment
in Milwaukee, but to the fractional splits
in both the Republican and Democratic
parties
The La Toilette and the anti-IAa Fol-
lette factions OF the Republican partv
are bitterly opposed 70 each other in
Milwaukee, and their antagonism is
greater probably than that Of the two
old parties in any other State. to say
nothing Of the minor fight among the
.progressives and conservatives in the
Democratic party.
Out OF a total Of $1,000 votes cast in
Milwaukee county Tuesday last, the
Socialists only poIled 1900 votes.
In view Of the foregoing facts It would
be an exaggeration to say that the re-
cent Socialist victory in Milwaukee and
elsewhere is an indication that there
is an increasing desire on the part Of
the voters Of the United States to in
corporate the revolutionary and icono-
elastic doctrines Of European Socialism
in the American body polite
That Congressman-elect Berger is in
error when he states that he viii rep
