best agency for securing sound
mind in II sound body, 1t arouscS
the conscience and cnlists it on the
side of purity aud self control. 1t
turtiiirs the will and restores or
maintains self respect. II gives to
faith a sufficient object and it begets

and happiness of heart. Where the
religion of Jesus Christ has its way

honesty and industry, kindness and

high thinking on the highest sub

Growth of Temperance Sentiment IN
Missouri

There is no question but that tenn.
p"rauC" sentiment is growing rap
idly in Missouri Only two county
elections have been held since the
prohibition vote last November.
These counties were Henry and Mad
l-Uu. In Henry county the total
yot" east was 1863; the dry" vote
was 1,i04, the "wct" vote ,269 leay-
ing majority of l,l3j. In thi,
county four years ago the majority
In a local option was about 800. In
tn" prohibition election last fail
Henry county voted wet by a
majority of over 400. The big ma
lurity of l,i3j shows how temper
aucc sentiment in that county hl,
crown.
The vote in Madison county was
go; dry" SO, "wet" 30j; major
i,y of 40. 1t will he seen by this
that Madison county went dry by "A
vut" Of over two to one. There t.
No question TINT temperance senti-
mrnt Is growing in Missouri. The
actual elections held not only show
this, but we learn it everywhere in
every day conversation.

Gives Reasons for Change.

Washington. Invastigaticns de-
signed to be of benefit to Denver and
Fort Logan. are in progress before the
Senate military committee and the
House committee to investigate ex-
penditures in the War Department.
In the Senate committee hearing
Mai. Gen. Arthur Murray. assistant
chief of staff, explained at some
length the reasons which induced the
War Department to issue the orders
to go into effect July 1st, establishing
system of division headquarters for
the administration of the army and
the abandonment in part of the sys-
TEN of departmental administration.
He contended that the change would
permit thirty-five officers now on duty
at departmental headquarters to re-
turn to duty in the line of the army,
that there would be saved 100000 per
annum in reduced rent, $4,000 on ac-
count of reduced commutation OF
quarters, s165.0O clerk hire. $4,000
messenger hire; a total saving per
annum of $245.000. In addition there
would be considerable saving on
fuel. lights. etc.

Here. 1t seemed to him, was an ideal

He proceeded to invent q story of

murder. the murder of a long-iost son
just home from the wars. by his own
father. the needy innkeeper. who did
not recognize him until after the deed

rob the first lonely stranger who
