A LETTER OF GOOD WISHES
FROM A LONGTIME FRIEND.

Dear Sir: I clerked for Truman
Neal several years ago, and have
handled much mail for you during
that time; I admired you then, and
as the years have passed with all
their changes, I am still one of your
most adrent admirers. It affords me
great pleasure to say that you are
doing a grand and noble work, in
these United States. Especially on
the foreign mission subject. Would
TO God we had many more just such
men as yourself; but the ones that
should be like you (thc preachers)
are, l am sorry to say, 20 - greatest
enemies. You arc opening the eyes
Of the people about the Roman HER
archy; subject that [ have given
careful study to for the last twelve
years. But the American people are
blind when it comes to that subject.
When you are dead and gone, and
not till then, will your efforts be
realized. May God allow you many
more years of usefulness, and en-
able you to carry On the great work
you are doing SO nobly and grandly.
I have recently had many lively
tits about you, but having known
you all my life, | came out victori-
Gus; and when I hit, hit hard.
You have thousands here who ad-
mire you, and your grand efforts
also there are thousands here who
are as bitter against you as they can
be, but justice and right are your
slogans land / feel they will win in
the end
Again wishing you Gods help, and
long and useful life, | remain your
friend. ROBT. L. MORRIS.

PEOPLE WE'RE DISAPPOINTED,

Dear Sir: | was among the thous-
ands that went to Cordele, to hear
you to speak Friday; to say that we
were disappointed only puts it mild
ly, as [ actually saw women and men
in tears when it was announced that
the doctors would not let you speak;
it goes to show how dear you are to

sickness was not serious and that
YOU will soon be yourself again and
be able to fill your appointments;
can't you give US q date here? If
SO let Us know and we will have q

soon be we'll and spared to us for
many years yet, am, your friend.

A CLERGYMAN ASKS A FEW
QUESTIONS

D0dT OlT. Having D0COmS d reader
of your Magazine, l am glad to see
that you have the courage to expose
to public view the pagan practices Of
the Roman Catholic Hierarchy in
worshipping and praying to woman
and the dangers to the democratic
institutions Of our country of a body
that sWears allegiance to a foreign
potentate and which body is very
alert and active in gaining and WELD
ing political power.
Speaking Of the latter matter first,
what is the significance Of Bishop
Dunno Of Peoria, Ill. and his 40
priests rendering President Taft
breakfast on Sept. %? Was it an
expression of appreciation for the
services rendered the Romish body
in giving them such a handsome sum
for their property in the Philippines,
and was it for the purpose Of infiu-
encing the Catholic laity to work for
a denomination and vote for re-
election? On this great trip the
President is making, we hear Of no
other religious body summoning it's
ministry to pay the President the
compliment Of furnishing him with
q meal.
What does it mean when Arch
bishop Quigly Of Chicago, at the SEES
sion of the German Catholic Socie-
ties Of America, makes the following
statement as reported in the Record
Herald of Sept II:
eve have well ordered
organizations, all at the beck and
Of l. Jrr +o
do what the church authorities tell
them to CO. With these bodies Of
loyal Catholics ready to step in the
breach at any time and present an
unknown front to the enemy, we may
feel secure
The Arch bishop had en- speaking
Of the sufferings Of the church in
France and Portugal and stated the
hierarchy was unprepared to meet
the attacks there. But in America
they are organized to meet similar
attacks which the speaker said he ex-
pected to occur. But why this fear
that the Catholic Church in our coun-
try will be attacked by it's citizens?
The Church and State in this country
are not a. ali in the relationship in
which they were in france and POr-
tugal. Here they are independent Of
each other, whereas n the two ma
lions named, the Church was sup
ported by the State, and the Church
became tryannical. The Archbishop
should have no fear that his Church
will suffer at the hands of American
citizens. that is, as long as she keeps
her hands off the pilot wheel. But
what a state of affairs the speaker
brought to light, when he said
organizations in the Rorlish body
are ready at the beck and nod
of the authorities to step in the
breach! Does it not show that the
allegiance of these organizations may
at any time be transferred from our
government to that Of the Pope, who
claims to be above kings and presi-
dents? And Goes not the statement
Of the Archbishop prove that the
Catholic Hierarchy is menace to
our democratic institutions?
In my next letter I Will call atten-
ton to what Swedenborg nas to say
in his work "The Apocalypse Reveal
ed'' about the genius of tie Roman
Catholic Hierarchy-what is meant in
Revelation by "the harlot sitting up
on many waters" and which uses ho-
ly things to gain money, and power
over the souls of the people. Yours

FARM AND GARDEN CLUBS

-. Youth in Agriculture.
- Journal Of Education

From the Journal OF Education. -.
The promotion of simple agricul-
tural work among the school chiidren
of the state was started a re" years
ago by Prof. w r. Hart, head OF the
department Of agricultural education
in the Massachusetts Agricultural Col
lege. The first move was made IN
1908 when Prof Hart addressed cir
cular letter to the boys and girls OF
Hampshire county. The letter con-
tained an invitation to join potato
club on the condition that those VINO
ioined should write him personal
letter. promising to plant. cultivate
and dig the potatoes without any help.
In return for this promise, each MEM
her of the club should receive four
seed potatoes free. and chance to
contest for q premium. Teachers In
about forty, rooms of the grammar
grades read these letters to the chill
dren. the response was prompt and
voluminous Inside OF three weeks
after the Invitation was sent out more
than 600 applications for potatoes were
receiyed Here was fountain OF IN
terest and enthusiasm undreamed OF
by either teachers or superintendents.
In the fall an exhibit Of products was
held in connection with the Amherst
Agricultural Society. The chfldrens
potato show outclassed the agricul-
tural exhibit by the grown-up farmers
The following year a similar invita-
ton was given. School superintendents
had become interested. and the work
was carried on with their cooperation.
More than 1000 boys and girls became
members of the club. The membership
spread to one or two adjoining coun-
ties. Instead Of one exhibit in the
fail. ten or a dozen local exhibits were
held in different parts Of the county
The project was made a part OF the
school garden work OF the North
Adams State Normal Sch ool.
The movement seemed to have ele-
ments OF growth in 1t. and In 1910 the
invitation was extended to the boys
and girls Of Massachusetts,. The work
was extended so as to include corn
growing as we'll as potato growing.
Responses came from s nearly 100
towns When the distribution OF seed
was over, 1T was found that corn had
been sent to $500 children. and pota-
toes to 200. Omitting those counted
twice, the clubs numbered about 1000
individuals. Exhibits were held in
many towns, somAtimes In charge OF
the local grange. sometimes In charge
Of an agricultural society. sometimes
In charge OF civic league or viflage
Improvement society. sometimes In
charge OF the schools. A largo number
sent samples Of corn to the New Eng
land corn exposition at Worcester.

Fabric of Human Hair.

The only young woman in the south

NEED OF A STANDARD BREAD.
Shown by Fact That Some Animals
Die if Fed on Certain Kinds.
Medical Journal.

From the New York Medical journal.
DR.. Leonard Hill. the English physiolo-
gtst. has made recently an interesting
contribution to the question of what the
English are now calling standard bread.
the standard containing about 50 per cent
Of the total grain, as against the 20 or
73 per cent contained in the whittier
bread now generally used.
Although the discussion has thrown
much light upon the chemistry OF -four
and has served to show in how many
ways -four fS treated and how many
things may be added to improve" 1t. it
mas contribu.et: Sut little to our knowl-
edge Of the physiological value Of the
different nours.
DR.. Hill has been conducting expert
ments on the nutritive value OF white
and Of standard bread. using rats as
subjects. He says that his results have
been astonishing. Rats fed on white
bread or flour did very badly. Many OF
them died; the others grew slowly. in
creased but slightly in weight In six
weeks, after which time nearly all of
them began to lose weight.
The rats fed on the standard bread or
dour did much better; fewer of them died
and their increase in weight was more
than twice as great as in those fed on
the white bread and flour. DR.. Hill con-
cluded that either the standard flour con-
tanned something essential to growth
which was not in the white -four or that
the latter contained something detrimen-
tai, .improvers for example.
These are not the first experiments
which show that different wheat breads
have markedly different physiological ef-
fects. In bulletin GO Of the hygienic lab
oratory Hunt states that mice fed upon
the white wheat bread" obtained from
one Washington bakery showed but one
fourth the resistance to certain poisons
that vas shown by mice fed upon sim
liar bread from another bakery, although
dealers considered them equivalent.
It is quite probable that breads which
have such markedly different effects
upon lower animals would also have DIFF
ferent effects upon infants and young
children, and perhaps upon adults. cs-
pecially IN sickness. The lower animals
are usually supposed, to be resistant and
adaptable as regards food. whereas the
erfreme sensitiveness of infants to slight
changes in diet is we'll known.
