stand the problem presented by the ap- parent existence of evil in spite of in finite good.
 The attitude of existing churches to- ward her message made it necessary for Mrs. Eddy to found a new church but the Church of Christ, Scientist, has gained members only as those who have come to Christian Science have gained better life. Surely there is no cause for Offense in this. It is the object of all churches, and none of them need feel a loss when a man finds in Christian Science what he could not, or even did not, find else- where.
 Mrs Eddy never sought a personal following. Throughout her work as the leader of a great religious movement she consistently turned the attention of Christian Scientists away from her. self to the message of God to man which was spoken through her. Her aim and hope as she often said were to quicken and increase the benefi- cial effects of Christianity Science and Health, page 367; Miscellaneous Writings, page 207D. The spiritual vii tality of her message is proved by what it has already accomplished; but this is only a foretaste of the bene- fits that will accrue to humanity as this Science is more widely under stood and practised.

Valuable Hints
 For Auto Owners
Things Which Owners and Operators of Motor Cars
 Should Know

The Italian War Department has al- ready 600 trucks. costing $1.200. .000.
 It sometimes happens that a lack of lubricant at the dash bracket will cause an apparent binding of the steering gear.
 To prevent heavy oil from sticking to the sides of tin measure all that Is necessary ie to rinse the measure out with gasoline.
 As part of the anti-noise crusade in passed an ordinance regulating the use of mufflers or silencers.
 By heating stiff oil and grease to a semi-fluid state in cold weather, it will be found that the work of filling grease cups will be greatly facilitat- ed.
 Russia has appropriated funds to buy 1000 trucks, and is authorizing the building of garages and repair shops in different parts of the country.
 In case a nut is lost and another one of similar size is not at hand, temporary repairs may be affected by using one slightly larger. This can be made to fit by hammering it until it assumes an oval shape.
 In charging the storage battery of an electric car, it is advisable to fol- low the directions given by the manu- facturer. An overcharge does not in crease the mileage and it does cause the plates to deteriorate.
 In the French army more than 10O,- 600 men were taken care of and fur nished fresh meat daily with only three motor trucks, which had to trav- el a distance of 26 miles, and not once did the trucks fail them.
 If the carburetor is provided with a choke, Or starting valve Arrangement by means of which the constant air supply can be shut off, it is often found advisable. to insure easy start ing, to close this valve, crank the motor three or four times and then open the valve, when the motor will often start upon the next turn.
 When the gasolene pressure fails, in stead of taking the pump apart, try blocking the free end of the exhaust, and then crank the engine few times. This will set up pressure in the ex- ing the non-return valve in commun- ication with the exhaust pipe and raising the pressure in the gasolene tank far more quickly than would be possible with the pump.
 The vibration of the bonnet chafes the radiator, and, if this is not at tended to at once, it will soon wear away the piping and cause leak in the cooling system. A good way to avoid this is to have a strip of leather riveted along the ledge which supports the bonnet. This will act as a buffer and prevent the friction. Bonnets which are fitted with a brass beading cannot cut through the radiator

Foster Rules on
 Sunday O|ubmen Imposes Fines of $1 and Cost on Each of 42
 Frequenters

Judge Carl Foster of the city court imposed fines of $1 and costs upon AZ frequenters of the Cedar Creek Yacht Club, Main street and South avenue, when the cases of the freQuenters were tried out in the city court yes- ferday afternoon.
 He interpreted the law to cover such cases as those of the men found in the club, which he had in a prev ious decision declared to be not a bona f1de club.
 Attorney John J. Phelan appearing for the accused, appealed, and LaCroix 6 Anderson, liquor dealers, furnished ball for the appearance of the men in the court of Common Pleas. Attor- ney Phelan said he would carry the case to the Supreme court if neces- sary to get ruling that will show his contention that the clubmen can't be held is we'll grounded.
 Judge Foster held that the only question for him in this case was whether persons in a place where H. quors are exposed for sale without a license are guilty of crime. He ruled that under the conditions they were equally as guilty as If caught at un- lawful hours in a place where liquor is licensed to be sold.
 Prosecuting Agent A. J. Merritt re- ceived the usual fee of $10 for each of the accused, in all $420.

 the branches toss. And oh! her water themes, They sparkle and darkle and trickle
