Some other obstinate diseases are
cancers, inaccessible tumors, LOGON otof
ataxia, curvature Of the spine, and so
forth. These have all been healed IN
Christian Science. and on the basis that
they have purely mental cause which
the divine mind destroys. The question
has been frequently asked, How can
some inanimate drug know Just where
to go and what to do?" Is It not en-
downing matter with intelligence to
think and act contrary to God? An
eminent surgeon once said in my hear
ing that mo drug, medicine or physi-
clan ever healed anything in the
world?" This is most remarkable
statement, and might appear meaning
less If uttered by some. The gentleman
is nevertheless a practicing surgeon,
exaTrlinns physician for 4 large life
insurance concern, and also instructor
! in physiology and hygiene in a well
known American university. Moreover
the declaration was made before leg
islative committee on public health ar
the Massachusetts, state house. A ply
stefan on this committee challenged this
declaration; whereupon the surgeon IN
yited citations, and the committeeman
cited appendicitis and pneumonia. The
| surgeon then proceeded to explain that
"a man said TO be suffering from APP
pendicitis may be operated on, his APP
| pendix Is cut out, and after a long time
he may recover; but. he isn't healed, be-
cause he no longer has an appendix
and he ought to have one. SO 1t is with
pneumonia" he continued mo drug
medicine or physician can heal It. We
may be able to assist the situation In
| helping to absorb the accumulation:
but we can never stop the accumulation
| nor heal the disease II It IS healed ~

'~The state having undertaken the
function Of education, owes 1t to the
child to make that education OF the
very best kind. 1t is impossible to do
this without the use OF the bible. The
decision OF this court follows the sui
cidal policy of attempting to eliminate
from the public school everything about
which the school patrons differ.
1T Is not from too much religion
that our nation Is suffering, but from
too little. We are training up thou
sands of children incapable of battling
with Nfe's temptations for lack Of X.
Our system OF public education Is not
only suffering for the bible, but the
morality Of our nation is rottinS for
the want of 1t. In some Of our Chit
cago public schools today teachers are
pathetically trying to teach morals
from the stories OF Greek and Roman
mythologies. Think of It! With the
Sermon on the Mount and the life Of
Jesus Christ within reach!"

organized protest against certain
! abuses of the long-continued admins
tration of President Diaz melted, as is
usual in such cases. many restless and
lawless spirits in both Mexico and the
! United States to adopt q profession Of
patriotism as pretext for marauding,
and that thus reproach was brought
, upon the revolutionary movement as
mere outbreak of brigandage. Neither,
we believe. can there longer be doubt
that the insurrection has been far more
than that
If such were not the case. and If the
demand for reforms had not been wide
spread and resolute, 1t seems incon-
ceivable that Mr.. Limantour would
have uttered that remarkable declara-
ton in an interview in Paris. the au-
thenticity of which has never been de-
MED: that on his way back to the Mex
lean capital he would have negotiated
with insurgent leaders or agents; that
the whole Mexican cabinet would have
resigned and been completely reorgan-
/! lied. and that there would have been
so extensive sweeping out Of the
state governors thruout the Mexican
republic. These acts and facts speak
unmiS takably of a situation of great
seriousness. Happily they also indi-
cate that it is being dealt with in
way at once energetic and conciliatory.

their acceptance of Jesus as the Mes
siah, to observe the Jewish Sabbath on
the seventh day Of the wee After
the resurrection Of Jesus on the first
day Of the week. the christians began
to observe this day as a day of chris
tian assembly to worship their risen
Lord. So these early Jewish christians
had day Of rest and a day for worship
every week. We have stated before
and we repeat. that it is our conviction
that this is the proper order for chris

WHAT TO DO WITH FATHER.
DUBUQUE Teiegraph-Herald

If you nave an old father WIN s
without Ianos ma whom you don't
want around your home. and whom
your brothers and sisters don't want
around their houses because he is in
the way, or they don't want to support
him. or for some other reason, and
you want to get him off your hands
the county Of Dubuque is here to &C.
comInodate you.
You don't want him put in the poor
house. not because OF the humiliation
he might feel-that isn't concerning
you, but because your friends and ac-
quaintances would hear about IL and
they would say to one another.
Blanks father is in the poor house
That is why you don't want him to go
to the poor house, because your vanity
would be hurt, your reputation among
your fellows be smirched, and people
likely would have a poor opinion Of
you. Rather than let him go to the
poor house you are willing to pay for
his keep in some institution maintain ed
for old folks, or take him into your
home and provide for him.
Well, the providential county OF Du-
buque is here to relieve you of your
eulbarra ssment It will take the old
gentleman off your hands and protect
you against possible humiliation. Even
tho you have money in the bank. OF
spend wastefully as much as enough
to pay your fathers board, the county
will be considerate Of you Just the
same. Instead Of sending the old fell
low to the poorhouse twill send him
to a home for the aged and pay 81 a
week for his keep and his clothing. and
keep him till he dies. You won't have
to worry about him at all. The assur-
ance will be yours that he Is well
cared for and that II he should die he
would not be buried without your
knowledge.
It is an ideal arrangement for you A
good many like you In the some posi-
ton have turned their fathers over to
the county. And when anybody asks
them where their father Is now they
answer. TN a home for the aged" and
the answer seems to carry assurance
that they are caring for their father
in his age. just as he cared for them
when they were children. and thar they
are good and dutifu) sons and daugh-
tiers.
Can such things be? Can children
be so inhuman? Can those charged
with the management Of county affairs
have so poor conception Of their duty
to the taxpayers that they permit the
county thus to be imposed upon, and
encourage sons and daughters In the
sin Of ingratitude? The answer is that
such things not only can be but that
such things are, that the county Is sup
porting homes for aged fathers whose
sons and daughters can well afford to
sunnort them and who should be COM
PEELED to support them under pain OF
humiliation Of having them made in
mates of the poorhouse.

FEDERAL CHARTERS FOR BANKS.

cisms OF the law, every state bank
should be incorporated under a fed

all banks were under federal super

MONO FREIGHT IS A
BIG QUESTION TO DOUGLAS
Roads to be Repaired for Freightors
South of this Section

AS days go by. the question Of
freighting to and from Mono County
becomes more and more perplexing
and it is an unsolved problem Will
the bulk OF this freight continue to
go this route or will it go to Hudson
over the Copper Belt road
The officials of the latter railroad
visited Bridgeport few days ago
and arranged for putting on an auto
line to connect with their road which
will make a 24-hour passenger sched
ule between Bridgeport and San
Francisco.
1t is unofhcially stated that since
work at Hudson has been stopped it
means that the road is to be continu-
ed to a point one mile from Yelling
ton, thus obtaining point Of vantage
over all.
1t is claimed that while the freight
rates from San Francisco to Minden
are $500 ton lower than to Hudson,
