"Out Door Attractions Appeal to
Those Who Have to Work Inside Dur
ing the Week, Especially in summer"
-SeWell W. Smith.
Church going hasn't fallen off
nearly as much as some people think
it has. Lots of Skowhegan people go
to church every Sunday the same as
forty years ago, but perhaps not to
the same churches that they did then.
The Protestant part of our population
has not increased the way the Catho-
lie has. but if you should count up
the people in church Sunday morn
ing. the total would surprise you. OF
course the out door attractions appeal
to those who have to work inside
during the week, especially in sum
mer, so in some cases the church
habit is lost, but on the whole | think
we are making Roadway in the right
direction"

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD
How to Wash White Plque WaIstcoass
and Make Pretty Neoktlss
at Home.

Washing White Pique waistcoai
Remove the buttons with SHARP
hatehet, and wash the waistcoat with
any soap that is advertised. If there
are spots on the garment which do
not belong there, use a small scrub
brush and white sand. II this does
not take them out, dip the waistcoat
into hot naphtha. The principal
time to be careful is in the drying
OF the thing. Waistcoats should new
er be hung ON a line or clothes horse.
but, to preserve their shape, must be
dried on the person. Put on the
waistcoat while it is wet and stand
in front of the fire. Reyolye very
slowly until it is partly dry, and
then go into a dark closet and shut
the door. White goods must be dried
IN the dark. Keep on revolving. AS
the material shrinks, initiate your
lungs to the fullest extent, or, if you
are sufficiently puffed up with pride,
this will not be necessary.
Homemade Neckties-Very pret-
ty white neckties may be made from
ordinary lamp wicks. Choose the
fiat kind, buying a sufficient num-
ber to make the necktie long enough.
Join the ends neatly with drawn
work stitch, and tie in four-in-hand
or butterfly bow, according to taste.
A delightful fob chain may also be
made from a single lamp wick. The
natural color of the wick may be
used with duck or white serge suits,
but for evening wear the wick should |

Millions Spent on Frauds.

Over s15,000,OO0 annually i
poured into the Golfers Of those wh'
exploit and advertise fake tuber
culosis cures, according to o state
ment issued by the National AS
sociation for the Study and Pre-
vention Of Tuberculosis; and fol
this vast sum the yiotfmsY receive
nothing In return, but are often
permanently injured and in the
majority of cases cheated out of the
chance for a real cure. Worse still
most of this money is paid by those
who can least afford it.
The National Association has
Investigated several hundred so.
called "cures" and "treatments"
for tuberculosis now being adver-
rised throughout the country, aud
finds that more than $4,000, 900 a
J ear is being spent in soliciting the
patronage of the public. Ca exam
ination, it has been found that the
great majority Of these "curesu
contain harmful and habit. forming
drugs, sucn as morphine, opium
and chloroform. None of them will
cure tuberculosis. The only cure
for this disease that has ever been
discovered is the combination of
fresh air, rest and wholesome food.
All of the "cures" that attempt to
destroy the tubercle bacillus with.
out these or to stop the pr ,gress of
the disease in some mysterious way
are branded as frauds and imposi-
tions.
Three classes of "cures" are dis.
tinguished by the National Asso.
ciation. In the first class are in
cluded devices and drugs which
can be bought for any sum ranging
from ten cents to five dollars at d
drugstore. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture has Just
issued bulletin In which some of
the most used of these drugs and
remedies are analyzed and con
demned. The second class Of
cures" includes the institutes, M
professors" or companies Of
"doctors," who for a consideration
to cure tuberculosis by
some secret method of which they
are the sole proprietors. There are
nearly oGe hundred and fifty OF
these institute frauds in the United
States, cheating the people out of
millions of dollars annually.
In the third class of "curesu are
placed a number of home made
which either through
ignorance or superstition have been
as treatments for tuber.
Some of these are, onions, |
rattlespake poison, coal
lust, lime dust, pigs blood, dog
Ill, milk ''strippings" and even
llcohol, These will not cure
tuberculosis declares the National
Association. No drug, gas or other
material has yet been discovered,
which when eaten, inhaled or in
ected into the body, will kill the
,erlns of tuberculosis. Fresh air,
which Contains move oxygen than
ny substance known, will destroy
he germs of tuberculosis, If it is
'reathed continuously for a long
nough period, ard if rest and
food are employed at
he same time to build up the
'ody.

Christian Endeavor Convention,
N z District

The series of five district conventions
of the c. E. Union is over, the las
coming in the famous city of St. Angus
| tine, Nov. 17-I9th. Most of the sessions
were held in the beautiful Memorial
Presbyterian church, and the local En-
deavorers did their loyal best TO make
The convention a success. 1t was not as
we'll attended from over the district as
we would have liked, but those present
had a profitable and enjoyable time
On the first evening in the opening
exercises Mr.. Fred Allen gave the enter
tanning society greeting. Mr.. Orren
Larson, of the Grace NJ. f. church
LeaguerS, cordial words for all societies
of the city, and Mayor Webb welcomed
the convention into his historic city.
To these greetings responded President
Alex Linn, in behalf of the workers al.
tending, and for conventions already
passed in other districts of the State
Union. The evening closed happily in
the reception given at the home of Mrs.
|. n. Treadwell.
Saturday morning there were greetings
read from fremont Temple and other
distant friends. The State Secretary
told personal "reminiscences of Christian
Endeavor fellowship. The last part on
the program was a fine discussion on
practical and efficient society work, led
by Mrs. G. L. Hanscom, of Jacksonville.
During this hour Rev. Hurd, principal of
the Orange Park Normal School, ex-
planned why every church should have
G. F. Society"
Saturday afternoon there was an hours
Junior rally, after which about sixty En-
deavorers had a delightful launch ride
down the Bay, to a place where on the
shore oysters were being prepared for
the feast. Most of the young people
walkhd over TO the ocean while the oyS-
tiers were baking. Ii was delightful
afternoon.
Saturday evening Miss Pauline Catch
ell, of ST. Augustine led the opening
praise service. Mrs. Wright, OF Jackson
willie, spoke of "My Responsibilities as
an Endeavorer," and Mrs. HanScom IA
vored the audience with one of the sew
eral beautiful solos sung during the con-
vention in such willing hearted way
by this accomplished musician. Rev.
\. S EIadger led a conference when
many things interesting TO pastors and
their EndeavorerS, were brought out
clearly by the leader, Mr.. Linn, and
other speakers. Another conference on
efficient work in Junior Endeavor was
led by District President Coffin, using
printed question slips.
Sunday School in the convention
church was followed by a good Junior
exercise from children of the conven-
ton church. Rev DR.. Badger preached
the convention sermon having for his
theme, Your Sons and Your Daughters
shall Prophesy."
Sunday afternoon the service was
held in the spacious auditorium of the
splendid newly equipped State Deaf
and Blind School The Endeavorers OF

recited Sweetly and Principal Walker
