CLEAN PAPER PAYS
FINANCIAL PROFIT
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
HAS LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN WORLD AND PAID DIVI.
DENDS AFTER FIVE
MONTHS.

Chicago.-Eyidence that a daily
paper devoid of news of crime or scan
dal had won advertisers and SUBJ
scribers, which was submitted at q
"clean journalism" mass-meeting at
the Auditorium theatre, has given
new impetus to the clean journalism
movement among Chicago publishers.
Facts presented for the first time
publicly by Archibald Mcclellan, edi.
tor-in-chief, and John J.. Finn Of
the editorial staff of the Christian
Science Monitor OF Boston showed
that the Monitors departure in edi.
torial policy had proved a practical
financial success. The circulation in
two years has grown to be the larges,
in the world; the advertising reve.
nues exceeded the expenses five
months after the daily was launched.
The profits he said are put back into
broadening the scope Of the paper.
The representative character and
the great size of the audience was ac-
copied as significant of an awakening
preference for news Of a wholesome
kind. The speakers urged that other
dailies could successfully adopt the
same policy the Monitor follows.

COAL CONSUMPTION

Washington, D. Coal now has
ben acknowledged by the department
of Agriculture and the Geological Sur
vey as the chief fuel of the United
States and fire-wood has been placed
in tie background. According to a
bulletin issued by Chief Forester Hen
ry S. Graves, the census of 1880 es-
timated that at that time nearly 146
million cords of wood was used for
fuel annually. The estimated value
of this wood was approximately
$322%,O0O,00 The population Of the
United States was at that time SO
million. Since then, however, the
population of the United States has
reached about 80 million, but the use
of wood as fuel has decreased in to-
tall quantity. Coal. however is used
much more extensively.
The. Geological Survey announced
that in 1880 the total production of
coal was 71,4S1,57 short tons, while
in 1903 1t amounted to 15,842,6 sos
short tons, OF nearly six times the
amount of 1880.

Washington, D. ca successful
demonstration of the value Of the new
government serum for preventing
hog cholera has been concluded at
South Omaha, Nebraska, where in CO.
operation with the onion Stock
Yards Company it was severely tested
and proved to be satisfactory in every
instance. The stock yards company
purchased 80 pigs which weighed
from ~ to 60 pounds each. They
We're obtained from a farm that had
been free from hog cholera for many
years. -Four of these were inoculated
with blood from hogs suffering with
CHOLERA and isolated in a pen by them
selves. Within five days they were,
according to a report issued by the
Department., very sick pigs.
Eighteen of the remaining hogs
we're then %inoculated with the serum
while the other eight were not treat
ed in any way. All were then put in
the same pen. AS a result Of this ex-
pertinent the four which were inocu-
lated with the blood of the cholera
hogs died; the eight untreated and

were gwen le serum II udQ Deeu

to the officials of the stock yards upon
the completion of the experiment.
Experts from the Nebraska Agri-
cultural Experiment Station and
from the Nebraska Swine Breeders
Association witnessed the experiment
and all were convinced of the thor
oughness of the experiment and its
satisfactory results.
The department does not distri-
butte this serum to farmers, but is en-
deavoring to bring the value Of this
method to the attention of the stock
raising interests. In order that they
may arrange to secure state legisla-
ton for the manufacture and distri-

Perhaps the most important event
in religious circles Sunday in Mitch

when the Zion's Lutheran congrega-
ton dedicated their new church.
Promptly at 1920 the doors of the
structure We're opened with appro-
pirate services by the pastor. Rev.
f. w. Loose. The first sermon of
dedication was preached by the presi-
dent of the German Lutheran church
in South Dakota, Rev. A. +. Breihau
of Canistota. His text was taken
from Matthew 9TH chapter. He ad-
monished the members to use the COS
pei of Christ as the only way to sal
walton, not to ignore the law with
good words according to their ability

During the noon hour dinner was
served in the basement of the church.
