HOPE PHILOSOPHY
New Association Gaining Many
Members.
FAITHS CURATIVE . POWER
NOTED HEALTH EXPERT
GIVES REASON FOR BIG
SUCCESS IN MEDICINE

Tremendous success has attended the
organization of the new Munyon Hope
Cult" Professor Munyon claims that he
has secured more converts than he even
anticipated, and says that his Hope
Cult" is growing in leaps and bounds. IL
Is said that the total membership OF the
association throughout the United States
Is now we'll over the half million mark.
In a statement for publication Prof.
Munyon said:
II want to talk to every sick. ailing and
respondent person in this city. / want
to preach my new creed TO them. L
want TO tell them about my new philoso-
ply OF health, which is the fruit of a
lifetime or study and experience In deal
ing with sick folk.
II want to eXpound the Great Truth
that / have learned that there is more
In pounds of Dope. That sick people
should not take medicine except as a
medium through which the great cura-
tive power OF Hope may be made effec-
tive. Medicines are necessary in the
present state of the worlds progress be-
cause they give patient physical sup
port and strength and renewed vigor
with which TO brace up the will power.
One knows. from the action OF the proper
medicines. that he or she is feeling bet
ter by this inspired hope and faith,
which complete the cure.
II think that probably a million per-
sons at least in the United States have
declared themselves cured by my medi-
cines, and / know that these people have
had to offer. / have always contended
that II there Is any virtue In medicine
my followers should have the best. but
i verify believe that more than one-half
of those who have been lifted TO health
from the bondage OF chronic Illness,
through taking my medicines. have been
really cured by the knowledge that they
had the utmost in medical lore at their
command, and the Hope this inspired.
II am not in any sense a practicing
physician. i employ at my laboratories
In Philadelphia a large STAFF of expert
physicians and chemists. and / have
many other physicians in various cities
OF the United States detailed to give free
advice to the sick and afflicted My
headquarters are at Munyon's Labora-
tories. SD and jefferson SITS. Phila., Pa.

ed physicians and consulting experts,

of medical advice absolutely free OF

WISCONSIN TOWN
SUFFERS BY FLOOD
BLACK RIVER FALLS, WIS.,, is
NEARLY WIPED FROM
THE MAP.
WIDE AREA INUNDATED BY
FLOOD; FOOD SCARCE.
Whole Population Watch Enormous
Flood Sweep Away Their
Homes and Call on Nation
for Help.

Black Falls, Wis, town OF 1000
inhabitants, has been almost blotted
from the map of Wisconsin by the
flood water of Black river. Only a
few of the 81 business houses have
escaped the fury of the raging waters
and they seem doomed.
Within a few hours this rich center
of prosperous farming region will
have little to boast except that 1t was
the scene Of catastrophe.
What is known as Lower Town,
that part of the town lying west of
the river, was a place of misery.
There most of the residents live. Fol-
lowing a night of anxiety and suffer
ing, they faced the realization that
no food was available.
Many homes have been demolished
and frequently several families share
food which would not be enough for
one family.
Every grocery store and market
has been swept away by the deluge.
Provisions will come from the out
side, but transportation is impeded
by washouts.
Two dozen dwellings have been car
ried away.
So far as can be ascertained there
have been no deaths.
Everything on the four business
streets, comprising the heart Of the
town. has been swept away. The
Northwestern railroad bridge over
the Black river at that point is still
standing, but it is swaying as though
the heavy spans were supported only
by cables. Train service is cut off
at Black River and no one is even
allowed 10 cross afoot.
At Hatfield, 10 miles above Black
River Falls, the river had cut new
channel. The main channel has NOV
ed over 500 feet to what was dry
land.
At the dam the pressure has ceased
and the waters have fallen far below
the crest. The main part of the dam
is still standing. The power house
two miles down from Holland was
flooded.
Two dams gave out in Chippewa
Falls, Wis, and one at Boomer The
country is flooded. The Chippewa
river rose s feet in 10 hours. Water
is running in the streets as a result
of an Is hours downpour of rain.
Several farm houses floated down
the stream that passed around the
west end of the Hatfield dam. Water
IL feet deep flowed over the top of
the dam and tore away the bridge at
Black River Falls. The families that
occupied the floated houses, it is
feared, persisted. Hatfield is under
water, but it is thought that no lives
were lost there.

TUBERCULOSIS TO DISAPPEAR.

Tuberculosis Is diminishing In
amount the world over. and 1t Is pre-
dicted that in 20 or 80 years 1t will
have quite disappeared. The decrease
or diminution is different in different
countries. plainly indicating that the
decrease is one of habit and life. The
reduction of the malady is one OF the
strongest supports of the sentiment OF
optimism, for ii indicates the increase
of cleaner and nobler living. The per-
sonal habit in respect TO sobriety, pur-
ity, courage. integrity, unselfishness
is hurting tuberculosis and all other
maladies everywhere. AS the world
advances in virtue and honor, its dis
tempers begin TO grow less. This doc
trine was announced by John Burns,
the labor leader in parliament. and II
his philosophy and fact agree. we
ell have reason to rejoice. There is
to be another consideration added to
this, which is. that the same improve
ed living that reduces tuberculo-
sis will reduce our social and political
maladies as well. II bad habits make
disease. they also make bad thoughts.
We are so accustomed in all these
things, to hitch the cart before the
horse, that we insist on improving
our institutions without uplifting pri-
vate life and habit

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
ltched So He Could Not Sleep

ION July 81, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
few days nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc.
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of a
rash and was all over baby's body
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
When we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better. and ii used to
Itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was com
pletely covered with IL at different
times 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
Is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur.

Nobody wants to stop cold storage

Nobody wants to stop cold storage.
That has come to stay, and, fairly con-
Quoted, 1T is benefit to the public.
Nobody wants to prevent cold stor-
Hfge from affording reasonable returns
20 those who carry it on. Unless there
is money in business no one will
want to follow ii. There are two OBJ
jections to the manner in which the
cold storage business is operating in
the United States at the present time.
One Is that it is creating artificial
scarcity and exacting unreasonable
profits. The other is that it is ignor-
ing the hygienic welfare of the con.
sumers. Cold storage will continue,
but its abuses must be stopped.

While a rather low percentage of
hits was attained with the 14-inch
gun. which is to be the offensive weap-
on of the new battleships, New York
and Texas, il is claimed that one we'll
placed shot from this terribly power
full piece of ordnance will fatally dis
able or destroy any fighting ship now
afloat And the effective range of the
gun in nine miles. A battleship thus
armed would put its antagonist out
of action before it got in range of the
other battery. Why, then. are the
naval constructors thinking of placing
larger guns on future American bat
tleships? The 14-inch gun is superior
TO any now mounted in any Of the
navies of the world, and one should
imagine that the best would be good
enough.
