Under the provisions Of bill in
trcduced by Mr.. Barrier Of Green
wood county the Agricultural college
Is required to begin a systematic sur
vey Of the soils Of the state, and
an appropriation Of $4,000 a year
for the next two years was made for
this purpose. The cooperation OF the
United States department Of agri-
culture in this matter has already
been secured, and the government
will contribute as much money az
the state is putting into this work.
1t is proposed to make a detailed
survey, including a physical and
chemical analysis of limited areas
in different parts Of the state, and
study Of the adaptation Of each
soil to different crops. Thus Is the
state taking account Of its perma-
nent capital. The greatest asset Of
Kansas is the plant food in the soil.

we know how much we have, how
long IT will last. how II may be con-
served. to what crops 1t is best adapt
ed and how we may use It with the
greatest good to ourselves and to
those who are to follow.

serving fertility more completely

adopt that system Of religious teach
ing which brings the largest measure
Of help and hope and consolation, and
so long as any remain who are suf-
fering from unhappiness or sickness
or sin, Christian Science will offer to
them a sure means of finding divine
help
Many people believe that God either
sends sickness or at least permits
some other power to send it, so that
in some way 1t is an agency for good
to work out our spiritual growth. Now
If that is true why did Jesus come to
make war on it? II God created sick
ness and either sends 1t or permits it
to be sent for any purpose, and Jesus
destroyed 1t and taught his followers
to destroy 1t, was he not working
against God. And if sickness is a
good thing why did Jesus wish to
destroy it?
Mrs. Eddy.
Many people seem to think that
Christian Science is some new thing
devised by Mrs Eddy, but such is not
the case. It is defined by its Founder
as THE law of God the law of good,
interpreting and demonstrating the
divine principle and rule of universal
harmony" fundamental Divine Sci
ence, page u. It was understood and
applied, in part at least, by Moses
and the prophets. 1t is the same
principle that was understood and
practiced by Jesus, by means of which
he performed his works. 1t is the
same principle that he taught to his
disciples, and which they in turn
taught to their disciples Whenever
1t has been understood and applied it
has been found to operate as law
of annihilation to sin, disease and
death, and to supersede so-called NOR
tai laws.
When viewed from any point Mrs.
Eddy stands as one of the great char
acters of this age She has made a
discovery in the realm of metaphysics
that eXerts and must continue to ex-
ert more far-reaching influence up
on humanity than any discovery ever
made in the physical realm. She has
founded a religion that has restored
to mankind the spiritual healing as
pldCLlSeu ny JHe pTlnlLlVe CnurCn.
Within the brief space of one genera
tion her teachings have so impressed
themselves upon the public that it
would be difficult to find a place
where there is not a Christian Sci
ence church or society, or at least
where there are not some Christian
Scientists.
Mrs Eddy has been assailed by
critics, but that is not surprising.
There has never been pioneer of new
and better things, leader of thought,
who has escaped from criticism or
whose ideals have been at once ac-
cepted by all. Out of all the criticism
and misunderstanding of Christian
Science and its Leader and Founder,
however, there stands the fact that
1t has healed a multitude of people.
Sooner or later every person will
adopt that system of religious teach
ing which brings the largest measure
of help and hope and consolation, and
so long as any remain who are suf-
fering from unhappiness or sickness
or sin, Christian Science will offer to
them sure means of finding divine
help.

BOIL CITY WATER
That Is Advice Of New York San.
itary Expert
AQUA PuRA CAUSES TYPHOID
Fuller Believes That Complete steriL
ization Is Necessary Every Day
in Year to Insure Absolute
Safety from Disease.

Des Moines, Jan. 6.-George w
Fuller, sanitary expert of New York
city, engaged by the city at salary
of 500 per day to locate the cause
of the typhoid epidemic, reported to
the council that in his belief the city
water supply is the cause OF the sick
ness, and that any time another out
break is liable to occur unless proper
precautions are adopted by the water
company.
The council accepted the report OF
Mr.. Fuller. The commissioners de,
clared that they will abide by his
findings and act in accordance with
the advice of the expert. Following
are the recommendations:
Continue to boil the city water
until the sterilization process is regu-
larly applied in satisfactory man
ner by the water company. At pres
ent the epidemic seems to be over,
but when the next rains come it Is
quite likely that the water may be
come again contaminated.
1.-THE chemical sterilization pro-
cess is recommended as safe and
reliable treatment of the water to de-
stroy Objectionable bacteria such as
might cause disease and one which
produces no injurious results.
Sit Is far cheaper and safer and
better to sterilize the water regular
ly rather than to endeavor to fore
cast periods of probable pollution and
confine the application of the steriliz-
ing chemicals to such intermittent
periods.
4.-The city council should make II
their business to ascertain what steps
the water company takes with re-
spect to sterilization and to urge that
the process be carefully and continu-
ously applied. 1t would not be wise
to consider the discontinuance OF the
sterilizing process until the galleries
under the river are permanently
| abandoned.
5.-The public will do well to boil
the water until the council is salts
| fed that the water company Is sat
| tsfactorily sterilfzing the water every
minute in the day, every day In the
week, every week in the month and
every month in the year.
6.-The records of the water COM
pany as to the sterilization process,
in my Judgment, should be furnished
| to the council, who should satisfy
themselves fully as to their signif-
canoe.
| lit doubt prevails in the. minds
Of the council as to the adequacy OF
the sterilizing treatment as applied
by the water company, then the coun-
Gil should engage some experienced
young man to test regularly the wa
ter from the standpoint of practical
water analyses.

Congress Loses Many Wealthy Members

Des Moines, Jan. 6.-Standpat rep
resentatives and senators in the leg

determine whether to enter repub-
llcan caucuses on the organization Of

AS to the house caucus on organic
alton, the majority Of the standpat-

to entering it, it is stated, believing
that the progressives have a frame

result of the senator's conference,
