"A Holy Roller on He'll.

Cedar Rapids Republican: They
have holy roller" preaching in
Sioux City. The other day he told
them what hell is like. When he
had finished one old man tumbled
over in his seat, exhausted, and a lit
tie girl of ten years came forward,
she wanted to be saved, terror-strick-
en-. They received her into the fold
for which they ought to have been
horsewhipped. for girl that joins
the holly rollers might as we'll be
dead and out of misery.
The holy roller preacher told
them, among other things, that hell
is so hot that If cake OF Ice 250, OO0
feet long, $4,000 feet wide and l.
600, 900 feet thick were shunted into
the place it would melt and disappear
in two seconds. He said that even
if the sun with its great bulk and its
immense heat were tossed into hell
it would shrivel up in moment of
time. In such place, he declared
the merciful God of us all Is thrust
ing the majority of the men and wo-
men created in His own likeness and
all because they have not Joined the
holy rollers here on earth. What a
nice idea of God that particular roll
er has, All the cannibals, all the
murderers of all time all rolled into
one would hardly make one such
monstrous God as that holy roller
preacher confesses to believe in
When crazy men can go about, free
to preach such a doctrine, what won
der is ii that some men take nc
interest in religion. The devil him.
self is a saint compared with a God
who puts human beings into place
SO hot that cake of ice twenty
miles long melts in two seconds, and
who keeps them there forever, al
ways burning but never consumed.
1t is monstrous that meE with such
ideas, so crazy that they would bt
out of place in a lunatic asylum, car
be allowed to preach, exhausting the
aged and terrifying the young. Tha
holy roller preacher in Sioux Cit!
ought to be tied down to cake o.
ice for a few months to cool off hi!
infiamed and idiotic brain.

Uncle Sans Wealth.

The magnitude of Uncle Sans
wealth is rarely conceived by the
common public unless attention is
drawn to the wonderful resources of
the American republic by some extra
ordinary circumstance.
An instance of this kind is noted
in the count of millions in the sub
treasury at New York City, which
has just been completed. Twenty
expert counters were engaged for an
entire month in the work. They
found that the cash balanced to a
penny.
Think of twenty men counting
money for an entire month-and
they do not count money in the way
it is done in the ordinary conduct oil
business-seems that they must have
had an incredible sum of gold and
silver and currency to count and
verify.
Bags of gold and silver in the
vaults were weighed and in this
manner hundreds of thousands OF
dollars were counted as quickly as
the customer at the counter Of a
bank might verify 500 handed to
him by the cashier.
1t was found that in this one SUBJ
treasury of Uncle Sans there is
boarded sum approXimating $780,
100000. On the day the count was
completed this great sum was rep
resented as follows: $36,630,S75 in
gold coin; $80,794,438 in standard
silver dollars; $6,722,00O in subsid-
larry coin; $6,761,8 $50 in gold certif-
Gates; $1,582,635 in United States
notes; $65,S75 in national bank
notes; $224,259 in minor coin. The
balance was in checks of New York
banks and their customers.
While the New York sub-treasury
is the largest in the country, there
are several others at which enormous
sums of money are kept in reserve,
those at San Francisco, New Orleans,
Chicago and Denver being the larg-
est in the order in which they are
named, and it is easy to judge that
at no time is Uncle Sam likely to
want for change to put in his purse
as he goes shopping.-Council Bluffs

ICE CREAM FROM SOUR MILK.
How a Young Dane i'm Iowa Has
Discovered Remarkable
Food Product.

Some half dozen years ago there
was a young, college educated Dane
living in Sioux City, Iowa, who had
a mania for experimenting with sour
milk drinks. While in college he
became acquainted with the famous
theory of Metchnikoff that the pro-
longation of life depends largely on
the introduction into the system of
plenty of the bacilli found in sour
milk.
Pampered on sweets, however, the
American has a prejudice against the
sweets which have spoiled" and so
hurries pellmell into a grave which
might have been barricaded behind
sour milk can.
This young, inventive Dane was
not slow in discovering another
national tendency. The American
will partake of things with a relish
if he does not know for sure what
they are. So he set about to doctor
up his sour milk drinks with fruit
juices and fiavoring extracts, work.
ing all the time toward a beverage
which should contain the healthful
bacteria without the-to the Ameri-
can-unpalatabl flavor.
1t was not long until the little
workshop of the Dane was the Mecca
of men who knew good thing when
they tasted it. Railroad and travel
ing men had a habit of looking for
ward to spending Sunday in Sioux
City and dropping in to see the Dane,
and incidentally, to quaff some of
his pleasing beverages. They never
associated their better health with
the drinks, but were content to tickle
their palates with various and sundry
colored and favored connections, the
| like of which no man, not foreign
born, had ever tasted.
That was the genesis of lacto, the
new frozen dairy product which has
recently come upon the market and
which is nothing more or less than
ice cream made from sour milk.
Doesn't sound bit good, does it?
Well, that is what several score col
lege professors, college students and
ordinary garden-variety human be-
ifigs in and around Ames said a few
months ago. And so Prof. NJ. Nor
Jensen, the young Dane of the Sioux
| Slly SApcTlulcuJS, HOW u6du Oh the
dairy department of Iowa State Agri-
cultural College, set about to show
them how little they really knew
about this particular subject. He set
his dairy students to making lacto
and he sent it about the campus and
even down to Ames for sampling.
Some he told, but others he left in
peaceful ignorance. All he asked
was that they take a taste and let
him know, honestly and truly, just
what they thought of the stuff. This
was the result. Out of 179 persons
who sampled lacto, 1913 pronounced
it very good, 81 good, 6 fair and
poor. Comparing it with common
vanilla ice cream, IL reported that
they preferred lacto, 9 considered it
equal to ice cream and SO preferred
ice cream. Comparing lacto to sher-
| bet, 1913 preferred lacto, 80 preferred
sherbet and &c considered lacto
equal to sherbet. The Dane was be-
ginning to be indicated.
Lacto is skinned milk, which has
been soured by commercial Tactic
acid culture, combined with eggs and
fruit flavors and frozen to the con-
sistency of ice cream.-From lice

Sir Frances Lowell Declares
Tranquility Can Alone Be

NEW ORLEANS. La. Jan. 25.-Annex-

Sir Francis Lowell, of London, England
as the only means of bringing about
tranquility in that section and restor-

even expressed the opinion that perhaps
England would be glad to get rid of
British Honduras
II can't see why a great country like
the United States should tolerate such
conditions as have existed so near to
her." said Sir Francis. "She certainly
could step in and take the entire stretch
of country. That would end all the rev.
olutions, big and little, and in the end
would be the best thing for the people
there
England can't do anything in the
way of preserving order there, on acr
count of the Monroe doctrine.
1T is the same way with the other
nations of Importance. America seems
to be in the position of saying to the

the question"
