JUST READY TO DROP

When you are Gust ready to DROP
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about because
You have not slept well, you get up as
tired-out next morning as when you
went to bed, then you need help right

cENsUREs METHODIST PASTORS.
Sir Robert Perks Says Should Preach the
Gospel in Up-to-Date Way.

New York. Oct % Sir Robert w,
Perks, prominent English Methodist,
dropped in on 200 Methodist preachers
at their weekly meeting Monday and
attacked American Methodists, especial.
" ministers, who admit to their
churches attractions in the shape of mu-
sic and concerts, and who preach short
sermons to humor a busy public. Some
times even the short sermons were made
up of old theological stuff.
Gentlemen" said Sir Robert, "you
can't fiji your churches by preaching
medieval sermons. A preacher must be
up-to-date,
In England, / am glad TO say, it is
not necessary to advertise special mu-
sic and a picked quartet in order to
induce Methodists to come to church. A
preacher there does not subordinate him
self to counter attractions | have seen
more of such sacrifices in America and
in Canada than | like to see. ! think
such sacrifice should cease. Methodsm
was born in pulpit. When the pull
pit declines the whole fabric declines.
And the pulpit does decline when it is
overshadowed, as it too often is.
"Why give up time-tried weapon,
the gospel, in its purity delivered by
a strong preacher that has fought the
battles Of Methodism for hundred and
fifty years, for new and improved meth
DDS? The preacher who breaches the
old gospel but in up-to-date ways that
are understood by the people of our day,
is the preacher who will succeed, in
America and in England, and deserves
to do so.'

CYPRESS FOR TOBACCO BOXES.
A Good Substitute for Sycamore ard
Less Expensive.

The suitability Of cypress for tobas.
co boxes has been made the subject
of test for some months by the nation-
al department OF agriculture in co-opera-
ton with packers of plug tobacco and
manufacturers of cypress lumber.
Results have been obtained which are
highly satisfactory, The manufactur
ers Of plug tobacco have been large con-
sumers Of wood for many years. ow-
ing to the tendency of tobacco TO alb
sorb taste and stain from wood when
brought in contact with it in the box,
much difficulty has often been met in
procuring suitable box material.
Sycamore has always been considered
one of the best woods for that purpose,
but it has become scarce and expensive,
and the search for substitutes is ae-
tive. The tests which have recently been
concluded We're brought about through
the desire of plug tobacco manufacture
ers to procure satisfactory box mate
rial, and on the part Of southern cypress
mills to dispose Of large quantities Of
short lumber which aecumulates at their
plants because there is small demand
for il.
IN size and grade it is such lumber
as tobacco box makers use. The mill
men furnished the cypress lumber for
the tests, and the tobacco manufae-
turers made the boxes filled them with
tobacco and subjected it to conditions
that would bring out any unsuitable
properties the wood might have, A
summary of results shows that plug to-
bacco kept four months in cypress boxes
remained sound and in good condition
and absorbed no taste from the wood.
The box itself is not considered quite
as handsome as sycamore, but it il
lighter in weight, an item worth cons
sidering when large shipments are made.
The chief economy, however, consists
in finding plentiful material for boxes
which will meet the needs of the pack
ers, and at the same time providing q
market for class Of lumber which
hitherto has been in small Demand

HINES ENTERS PULL DENIAL.
Declares He Had Nothing to Do With
Election of Senator Stephenson.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct, 25.-Edward
Hines, the lumberman, denied before the
senatorial investigating committee Mon
day that he, directly or indirectly, had
had anything 70 do with the election Of
Senator Isaac Stephenson.
Mr.. Hines denial covered the follow
ing: That he went to Washington and
there told Senator Stephenson that, be.
cause OF charges Of corruption, made in
the legislature, the senator could not
be reelected. That TO overcome this OBJ
stacle he entered into an agreement
whereby he and Stephenson each con
tributed $4,000, which resulted in an
election by the Wisconsin legislature on
March A, 1909, after three Democratic
assemblymen had absented themselves
That he paid Robert J. Shield $500 TO
help "put over the election.
did you ever assist in, or receive any
benefit from the election Of Senator Ste

ator Hepburn, chairman of the COM
mittee.

twenty years and in that time have done

whatever in his election, | was inter-
ested to a small extent In his campaign
in the primaries, This was simply TO
ask Shields to induce some business men
to sign kind of an appeal to the public
to support the senator, because OF his
long standing as business man in the
state"
Mr.. Hines said that much Of the testi-
mony given the committee by Writ II.
Cook of Duluth was due to business rea-
sons. Hines said Cook wrote letter
threatening to expose him II he
tHines) did not withdraw as director
from company in which both were
interested.
Hines also denied part of a CONVERSE
ton attributed to him by Cook at a
hotel in Chicago, in which Hines was
reputed to have said II have had a
terrible time getting Stephenson lined
up. After / elected him he goes down
to Washington and votes for free lum
Der, and he's a lumber man, too" The
committee endeavored to trace the
source Of the charges duplicating Hines
and Shields.
Another feature OF the session was an
admission by Assemblyman Joseph A.
Domaehowski that his charge that he
was offered a bride OF $1,000 TO remain
away from the legislature at the time
OF Stephensons election was a joke.
Domachowski's allegation was made one
of the specific charges against Senator
Stephenson. On the witness stand he
declared it was intended only as Joke
and he was never offered any bride.
Several other witnesses testified that
they heard the assemblyman's charge
and were led by him 20 believe it was
true, but that afterwards they were told
by him it was not true.

Washington, Oct %. The employers

to recommend the enactment Of law

Some members of the commission were
first inclined toward more sweeping

policy which prevails in Germany and
other European countries, but after de-
voting the entire day to the considera.

the prevailing one in Great Britain, and
while it requires direct payment by the

The commission was not so fortunate
in dealing with other points at issue.
One of these is the question whether the

questions We're left open. The sittings
were continued yesterday.

SKIN PEELs FROM SORE FEET

The discomfort and suffering Of per-
sons with tender perspiring feet can
hardly be imagined by those not so ar
fcted. The acid perspiration sometimes
softens the skin 50 that it peels off the
feet in patches. Comfort Powder freely
applied regulates and checks the per-
spiration, keeps the feet dry and stops
the pain and irritation. Mae Myers

For 'chafng and skin irritation, Comfort
Powder excels all others. and for swollen
perspiring feet it is excellent" The

Why Should
Cuticura Soap?

"There is nothing the matter
with my skin, and | thought
Cuticura Soap was only for skin
troubles" True, it is for skin
troubles, but its great mission is
to ber0ent skin troubles. For
more than generation its deli
cate emollient and prophylactic
properties have. rendered it the
standard for this purpose, while
its extreme purity and refreshing
fragrance give to it all the advan-
tages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping
the hands soft and white, the hair
live and glossy, and the scalp
free from dandfuff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and Of such materials, that it wears
toa wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making
its use, in practice, most econom-
ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere,
but the truth Of these claims may
be demonstrated without cost by
sending to "Cuticura,' Dept. M,
Boston, for a liberal sample
cake, together with a thirty-two-
page book on the skin and hair.

HoLsTLAw IN JACKPOT.

the Lorimer Investigation.

.
the Lorimer Investigation.
Chicago, Oct 25--Jervis o. Newton,
chief clerk of the State Bank of Chi
cago, in testifying Monday before the
committee of United States senators in.
yestigating the Lorimer case, revealed a
new phase Of ex-State Senator d. w.
Holstlaw's connection with alleged corr
ruption in the Illinois legislature. New
ton disclosed that S700 in cash was de-
posted in the State Bank of Chicago to
the credit of Holstlaw's Tuka bank on
August 2S, 1909, which was the date on
which State Senator John Broderick ar
ranged to meet Holstlaw in Chicago,
after a meeting between the two on
June is. Counsel for the committee
last week Unexpectedly produced a let
ter from Broderiek to Holstlaw. dated
August 20, 1909, in which the Chicago
senator sent for the Iuka man. The
production of this letter and the testi-
mony regarding the 500 deposit were
advanced in an effort to show that in
addition to an alleged bride of $500 to
vote for Lorimer, Holstlaw received a
portion of the so-ealled Jackpot" Al
though Holstlaw has testified that he
had but one meeting with Broderiek in
Chicago, Attorney Healy of counsel for
the prosecution said the 500 deposit
may have been made for the Iuka man
without the latter's presence here.

The locals started on Mathewson IN
the second inning, when Murphy and
Barry each singled, New York's Water
loo came in the fourth, when successive
doubles by Baker, Murphy and Davis

the eighth to allow Becker to bat for him
and Wiltse finished the game, with one
hit scored against him.
How the tame was Fiayed.

CHARM TO FIND PARTNERS.

One of the oldest stunts for Hal
loween was to find ones future mate
by the aid of a ball of iron. A maiden
was To take a ball of yarn and toss It
through an open window and then hold
the end i'm her hand and walk way. If
she was to marry within the year
the ball would be picked up by the
man inside, who began To wind up the
yarn and thus draw her back to him.
A young matron should use this meth
cd of finding partners for her Hal
loween supper, which is to be served
at $780, Knowing the preference OF
her guests, she will have the right
man for each maid concealed I'm the
garage. one at time the girls will
be given a ball of yarn, and she is to
go alone through the yard, which is TO
be lighted only with Jacks" I'm the
trees. When the man winds mp his
maiden, who Is instructed not 10 drop
her end no matter what happens, they
will go out a rear door of the garage
and into the house by side entrance.
Then the next man is slipped into tho
hiding place and another girl started to
meet her fate. There are 10 be ten
couples so this will add much to the
fun and mystery. If the details as
given here are not practical, the same
scheme may be worked by throwing
the ball over a transom or over ban

IcEBERe

Among the perils and wonders Of the
ocean there are few more interesting
things than icebergs, interesting not
only by reason OF their gigantic size,
their fantastic shapes, their exceeding
beauty. but also for the manner where
in they array themselves.
Icebergs exhibit tendency to form
both clusters and long lines, and these
groupings may arise from the effects
of both ocean currents and of storms.
Some very singular lines of bergs,
extending for many hundreds of miles
east of Newfoundland, have been
shown on official charts issued by the
government. Two of these cross each
other, each keeping on it's Independent
course after the crossing. In several
instances parallel lines of bergs leave
long spaces of clear water between
them.
Curiously enough, while enormous
fields of ice invade the so-called
steamship lanes" of the Atlantic at
the opening of spring during certain
years, in other years at that season
there is comparatively little ice to be
seen. The ice comes. of course, from
the edges of the Arctic regions, from
the ice-bound coasts of Greenland and
Labrador, where huge bergs, broken
from the front of the glaciers at the
point where they reach the sea, start
on their long journeys toward the
south, driven by the great current that
flows from BafIins bay into the north
