Church and State.

IF our government is to be endur
ing it must rest on principles of jus
tice, truth and Righteousness, sane
toned by recognition Of supreme
being whose experimenting provi
dence watches over the affairs Of ma
tons and of men. There Is no OH.
cial union Of church and state in this
country. but there is no antagonism
between the civil and religious au-
thorities. Church and state move on
parallel lines. The state holds over
the spiritual rulers the aegis Of its
protection without interfering with
rights of conscience. The church helps
enforce civil laws by moral and re-
ligious sanctions. It is the duty Of
US all, churchmen and laymen, to
hold up the hands Of our president,
as Aaron and Hur stayed up the
hands of Moses. Cardinal Gibbons.

Rest for tuberculosis Patients.

DR.. Joseph H. Pratt of Boston, who
was the founder of the first tuberculo-
sis class in the United States In the
Emmanuel church in Boston, claims
that In the treatment of tuberculosis
absolute rest, often in bed, must be
extended over a period of months, be
fore the consumptiv- should take any
exercise. He says: prolonged rest
in bed out of doors yields better re-
suits than any other method of treat
ing pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients
will have a better appetite and take
more food without discomfort and gain
weight and strength faster than pa
tients with active disease who are
allowed to exercise. Complications
are much less frequent When used
in the incipient stage recovery is
more rapid and surer."

Of discharges having a certain significance,
and one or another of these regulation salutes
are fired when the noise-making is in the

dependent gun crews recruited for the Fourth
continue to claim extensive license in this
respect. There are several different salutes
as prescribed in Uncle Sans books of regu-
lations that may be adopted for the Fourth
of July greeting. Perhaps the most extern
sively used Of all is the American salute of
one gun for every state in the Union. BY
allowing an interval Of a minute and half be-
tween discharges this salute can be strung
out for more than an hour and at half-minute
intervals, which is slow enough to suit most
persons, it enables an interval Of booming that

MOLLY PITCHER, HEROINE

The best-known of all the American hero
ines of battle is Molly Pitcher, the story of
whose adventures, especially on the battle
field at Monmouth, is one Of the most pictur-
esque incidents Of the revolutionary war. The
early life Of Molly Is somewhat vague. She
is supposed to have been born at Carlisle, Pa,
October 13, 1744. Her right name was Mary
Ludwig, and while the soldiers were only IA
miliar with her first name, calling her Molly,
they soon applied the second, because wher-
ever they saw Molly they also saw the pitcher
with which she carried water to the sick and
wounded in the camps
Several writer's say Molly came to this coun-
try from Germany with her parents, who were
among the Palatines. The first information
we have of her is that she was employed as q
maid in the family Of General Irvine at Car
Isle, and on July "a, 1869, was married to
John Hays, a barber. Her husband was COM
missioned a gunner in Proctor's First Pennsyl-
vania artillery, Continental line, December 1,
IT'S, and Molly followed him to the field. This
was common thing for the wives of private
soldiers to do, their time being passed in
laundering for the officers.
At the assault at Fort Clinton she showed
much pluck and also the following year In
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1911-06-30

by the fact that the number twenty-one Is
formed by the addition of the figures l. {, & o.
comprising the numerals in Uncle Sans birth
day year.
Every saluting vessel in the United States
navy will thunder out salute to independence
day no matter whether she be at anchor in a
foreign port, tied up in one of our navy yards
or cruising out of sight of land in the open
sea. The national salute is the one used just
as it is on Memorial day and on Washington 8
birthday. The salute of minute guns is pre-
scribed under certain conditions in the navy,
but the regulation interval between guns In
all salutes including the national salute Of
tWenty-one guns is five seconds. During the
firing Of the salute all the officers and men
stand at attention. 1t is customary for for
eisn warships anchored in American harbors
to fire salute in compliment to the United
States on the Fourth and the same courtesy
Is usually shown by foreign forts and warships
when Yankee naval craft spending the
eventful holiday in alien waters. Whenever
any foreign authorities or ships fire our ma
tional salute, the firing is no sooner concluded
than an officer from the American ship III
port makes an official call upon the foreign
officials and extends thanks.

the Fourth OF July salutes for noise making
was genuine fun for the men who did it years
ago, whereas it is no more nor less than a
detail OF the days work for Uncle Sans gun
ners indeed it may surprise some of our
readers to learn that there are artillerymen
IN our regular army and men-o,war's-men on
our naval vessels who thoroughly detest the
roar OF the big guns. 1t is not that they are
afraid or are lacking in experience, for some
OF these men have been in the service for
years and have repeatedly faced death in a
variety Of forms and yet many veteran
never gets over his dislike of the din at close
range.
But then the enthusiastic crowds that on
the Fourth of July hear the echoing salutes
in the distance have no idea of the shocks
administered to the men behind the gun when
a Shooting iron" of any size lets CO. The
strain of waiting for each report and bracing
