Making a Vacation Pay

The best investment that many
men make during the year is repre-
sented by the expense of their va
cation. They are paying out money
and earning nothing, but they are
putting themselves in superb condi-
ton for great business on their re-
turn. They are overhauling their
physical and mental machinery, re-
newing, restoring, lubricating, pol
ishing The delicate bearings and put
ting them in condition to run
smoothly and noiselessly for the re-
mainder Of the year.
There is no investment which pays
such great dividends as keeping ones
physical condition up to the highest
standard-upon this hangs all our
success and happiness.
The right kind Of vacation null
tiplies the power and effectiveness of
all the faculties; it increases courage,
confidence, self-respect; in fact ev-
cry success and happiness faculty.
Could there be a better investment

CLANS or Children-Which?

Do we love CLANS more than chill
dren? If we do not-why did Con-
gress without hesitation. appropriate
500, 100000 to pay experts to study
CLANS. and almost unanimously turn
down an Appropriation of 100000
to paw an expert to study children I?
The clam Appropriation was pass
ed in 1907, and early in 1908 the
child appropriation was killed. In
1905. the State Board of Health
presented to the Indiana General
Assembly, new health law, which
had for its object, the conserva-
ton of human life. 1t seems to the
Board that our state would do well
to catch up with other states, and do
like sensible, practical work along
the lines of preventing disease and
saving lives. When the bill was up,
member rose and said: CT have
been requested by my constituents,
over and over, to vote for meas
ures to protect hogs from cholera
and trees from scale, but / have
never been asked to vote for a meas
ure to protect women and children
from preventable diseases" Of
course. the bill was defeated as
crank bill. Had the bill been for
hogs and CLANS. it would not have
been cranky. The reason why the
$40, 900 90 clam appropriation passed
like CREASED lightning, was because
the pearl button makers want clam
shells to make pearl buttons from.
We cannot make anything but men
and women out of children, there
fore. Congress would not give any
money for such an end. 1t is to be
said that Secretary Garfield. heartily
endorsed the child appropriation and
when he made his argument before
the Congressional Committee,
mighty member from Sillk-hole rose
and asked: ''Does this not approach
dangerously near the line of en-
eroachment upon the rights of
States and Municipalities" When
will some people quit thinking it is
cranky to protect the human family
against diseased No one thinks it
is cranky to protect hogs against
cholera and trees against scale.
The above from the State Board of
Health.

AT the Presbyterian manse Thurs
day afternoon the ladies of the
church rendered Mrs. j. P. Eng
strom, Field Secretary OF their
Home Mission Board of the North
west, delightful reception. More
than fifty ladies gathered in the
spacious rooms of the manse, which
the ladies had neatly decorated with
flowers for the occasion. Mrs.
Engstrom. though weary from
travel and many meetings, made an
address to those present which was
not only full of interesting and
inspiring statements but was de-
livered in most pleasing manner.
She explained the origin of the
work which the women of the
church are doing, and called particu-
lar attention to the fftieth anniver-
sary of the organization. Mrs. A. c..
Hume, who presided, introduced
Mrs. Engstrom with some well
chosen and pointed remarks. SHE
likewise referred to the presence of
Mr.. Lee. native of China present
with them. and introduced him to
the audience. Mr.. Lee appeared in
native costume. and spoke most en-
tertaininsly and impressively of the
conditions existing In his native
land, and the supreme Importance of
the gospel as the only hope for the
future of that country. He also ex-
hibited several surios from China.
During the afternoon delightful
music was rendered on the piano
BIZ Mrs. John Cook and Miss Erma
Sanner. Miss Julia Yockey sang a
beautiful solo. Mrs. Hoham and Miss
Ycckev rendered a fine duet, and
Miss Hazel Neff delighted all with
a Chinese love song, which she
rendered in Chinese costume.
\ substantial lunch followed, of
which not only the ladies but few
men partook. The paper napkins
used on this occasion were In the
nature of souvenirs. they having on
them part Of the twenty-third
psalm written artistically by. Mr..
Lee in Chinese characters.
The free-will offering amounted to
more than 81.
Mrs. Engstrom again addressed
the ladies at night in the church.
Although the threatening weather
kept number away, the meeting
was both interesting and profitable.
The ladies feel quite encouraged owe,
the whole affair, and hope that this
is the beginning of better days in
their missionary work.

The meeting for the men of the
churches In the Christian church lat
night was not as well attended as it
might be, but they tried to make up
III interest and effort what they lack
ed otherwise. Those who did not at
tend missed an admirable address
by Rev. Mr.. Ormond, who explained
in detail this new movement to in
terest the men of the various church
es in their fellow men. Ninety
strategic cities in different parts of
the country have been chosen as
centers from which to radiate, and
some twenty-three experts in vari-
Gus lines of work for men and bows
are to visit these centers and thru
local committees reach the tributary
places. South Bend is one of these
centers. and it is possible for Plym-
outh to have some of these experts
in five days campaign, if the men
are willing to undertake it. A con-
ference with these experts will be
held at the Y. M. C. A. in South
Bend on the 22nd inst, at which the
places for these campaigns will be
settled. The outcome of the meet
ing last night was the decision to
form a committee here of thirty-fve
men to undertake work here. Nine
of this committee was appointed,
and they are to fill out the number.
1t is intended to have all the church
es work together In this matter.
The nine men are: Rev. W. c. Lo-
gan. Frank Anderson, Rev. J. c..
Smith, o. F. Hoover, Ralph Leonard,
Frank Southworth, DIR. Hitchcock,
A. R. Underwood, Morris Agler. A
meeting of these men will soon be
held to complete the committee. so
that they can begin work as soon as
possible. is expected that much
good will be the result of this
move, not only to the individual
churches, but also to the community
as a whole.

Governor Woodrow Wilson is max

open fight in New Jersey this fall.
To the party bosses in the various
counties who have been accustomed
to putting up jobs on both the party
and the people, he serves this ulti-

CIVILIZATION BUT SKIN DEEP

An illustration of the fact that the veneer of civilization which many of the natives of this neighborhood have assumed is but skin deep, was brought to light recently at Howkan. It ap- pears that some time ago-more than year-two Alaska native boys at a school in the states were playing at some game, and one of them was hurt to such an extent that he died from the result of it, although no blame could be attached to his companion in the game. Nothing was said of the occurrence fer considerable time, un- til the other day, when the father of the boy who had died, a Metlakaht- Ian, went to the home of the other boy at Howkan, and demanded that $200 be paid him in settlement for the death of his son. The demand was rejected of course, and the native left Howkan vowing vengeance.
