IndiSCreet Act Of
Former Local Pastor

Rev. Theo. L. Dyer, we'll known
in this county, and for several years
pastor of the M. E. church here has
evidently got himself into hot water
just because he took a notion to
kiss the other mans wife. The Post
Intelligencer of June says:
"If a clergyman kisses a mans
wife, and the man responds by
throwing numerous hard, sharp
stones at the clergyman, it does not
necessarily follow that the man is
insane, even if the clergyman swears
that he is.
Rev. Theo L. Dyer made an
effort yesterday to convince two
alienists that Sherman w. Dodge,
one Of the pillars of his church,
ought to be locked up in Steilacoom,
but they were not impressed, and
the court took the unusual course
Of taxing the costs against the com
planning pastor.
Then Mr.. Dyer made his way to
the prosecuting attorneys office and
told his side of the story again. He
said he feared for his life, as Dodge
had remarked that he would follow
that preacher to the ends Of the
earth to- get even" He obtained
a warrant for Dodge's arrest on
the charge Of making threats.
THE facts in the case were
thrashed out by Dodge, Dyer and
the neighbors before DR.. S. j..
Holmes and DR.. Harry A. Shaw, who
were sitting as lunacy commission
ii Judge Gilliarn's court.
Dodge told the doctors that he
had rented a house in Kennydale
from Dyer, who, besides his church
work, devotes his time to carpenter
work and the construction Of houses.
The house seemed just what the
tenant wanted, but needed an extra
room. Dyer said he would build
one.
That was the longest carpenter
Job I ever saw" said Dodge. The
work dragged and dragged, and af-
ter I had made up my mind that the
preacher was good man not to
have around, it went slower than
ever. / couldn't get him to finish
It or quit. E

In sickness, if a certain hidden nerve
goes wrong. then the organ that this nerve
controls will also surely fail. It may be
a stomach nerve, or it may have given
strength and support to the Heart or Kid
neys. 1t was DrShoop that first pointed
to this vital truth. DR.. Shops Restora-
tive as not made to dose the Stomach or
to temporarily stimulate the Heart or
Kidneys. That old fashioned method is
all wrong. DIR. Shoop's Restorative goes
directly to these failing inside nerves.
The remarkable success of this prescrip-
ton demonstrates the wisdom of treating
the actual cause OF these falling organs.
And 1t is indeed easy to prove. A simple
nve or ten days test will surely tell! Try
It once, and see. Scld by Friday Harbor

GENEROUS AMERICA
Red Cross Relief Operations Worldwide
in 1o1o-Earthquake, Fire, Flood, Elk
plosion, Hurricane, War and Massacre
Called for Aid

Six big disasters will occur in the
United States in 1917. This is not the
prediction of an astrologer but of the
American Red Cross, the organization
Nv nIucts a larger work of relief
al ople stricken by great calani-
t any other agency in the world
E snlrIence has led the Red Cross to ex-
.pect an average of FIVE or six serious
disasters in this country every year. It
does not know where or when they will
occur, or whether they will be caused by
storm or fire or flood or earthquake or
explosion But it is sure that they will
happen, just as one may be sure that fiji
teen persons of every thousand now liv-
ing will die in the next twelve months.
Worldwide service to humanity was
shown in reports presented at the recent
national meeting of the American Red
Cross in Washington. This organization,
of which President Taft is the presi-
dent, is recognized by the Federal gov
eminent as the official channel for the
conduct of relief work wherever in the
United States people suffer from the re-
suits of great calamities. But the Red
Cross does not confne itself to relief
operations in this country. Its field is
the world
Experience proves not only that an
average of FIVE or six disasters, severe
enough to cali for Red Cross help, may
be expected to occur every year in the
United States, but that the demands
from other countries may be expected
to be equally numerous. Some idea of
the character and variety of these de-
mands may be gained from the disasters
which the Red Cross dealt in the last
twelve months These included in the
United States one hurricane, one mine
fire, two mine explosions and forest fires
in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington
and Minnesota; in foreign countries, re-
lief of starving captured soldiers in Mic
